Read and be wise Tue New Crry NMENT.—This venerable institution of moral and civilized society, held their first meeting on Tuesday, but they are in as great a state of confusion as the riots of the * bloody Sixth” left the matter at the close of the election, According to all appearances we have two Boards f Aldermen, and two Boards of Assistants, and the pretty game of Rhode Island bids fair to be played over here for months to come. The exact state of the case is narrowed down to small limits. The whole difficulty grows out of the Sixth Ward elec- tion. The Whigs contend that Messrs. Crolius and Atwill, both very respectable men, are the rightful members, because they had the plurality of the votes. The democrats contend that in consequence of the riot, the ballots of one district were lost—and the WardjInspectors could not make a return ; there- fore none of the candidates can be sworn in, but a new election must be ordered. Again, the Whigs contend that Crolius and Atwill were sworn in by the Recorder, at 9 o’clock on Monday morning, and that each is entitled to his seat in the Boards. In opposition to this, the democrats contend that the Mayor alone has the right, under the charter, to swear in and organise the Boards—that the Recor- der has no such right, except in the contingency of his absence—that the Mayor was not absent on Mon, day—but, being at his post, refused to swear in Mesers. Crolius and Atwill, because they could ex- hibit no legal return of their election. In sch a case, the old members hold over—but as the late Mr. O'Neill of the Sixth Ward is dead, the Board of Aldermen stands 8 to 8—and Mr. Shaler, the old Assistant of the Sixth, who also holds over, makes the Board of Assistants stand 9 democrats to 8 Whigs. On joint ballot, according to these several views, the Whigs claim a majority of two, or one in each Board—the democrats claim a tie in the Aldermen anda majority in the Assistants, making a majority of one in joint ballot, ** as they understand the law and the gospel.” Thus, therefore, stands the new City Government. The several legal questions are these :—Can the Mayor or Recorder, in organizing the Boards, look beyond the return of the ward inspecfors 2. Can the Mayor. refuse to swear in any claimant who cannot exhibit a certificate of return 2? Can the Recorder proceed to swear in any member of either Board, before the expiration of the old Board, or before the Mayor’s absence or inability is ascertained? Can Messrs. Crolius and Atwill take their seats, under such a state of facts? Can Assistant Shaler hold on till a new election is ordered? Can all these points be settled in a legal, peaceable form, as be- comes men and Christians? Or ia it absolutely ne- cessary to call “Col. Webb of the regular army,” to decide it by “percussion locks and mahogany stock 1” What then will be done?’ There is no difficulty whatever, The preeent singular position of the city government is the natural result of the two great, mighty, eternal principles of the universe—the re- sult of the two forces or laws, called in magnetism, the attractive and repulsive. The city government must continue in its present position tilka higher law, or power, determines the right. We will have two governments, or two Common Councils, ar two Boards of Aldermen and Assistants, till the Supreme Court, orthe Court of Errors can decide. Each Board will meet separately till this question is set- tled. The two Democratic Boards have the May- or, who will form the provisional government, till the grand result is ascertained. Every thing will be in a state of suspended animation till then. There is nouse of fighting, or quarrelling, or drawing blood —or losing one’s temper. ‘The laws of the magnetic poles and the political poles are identical, vrhether in the Sixth ward, or in eternity. The vabration between the two forces is not violent—it ison the turn, Let the Whig Boards meet and proceed to action—they have the Recorder with them—him- self a tower of strength. Let the Democratic Boards Gove ise | do the same—they have the Mayor, who bears the | king’sname. No taxes will be paid—no ordinances | Will pass—the streets cannot be swept—the Croton water cannot come into town —no office-holder can | be paid—the Mayor is in possession of the whole go, | Yernment of the city, which merely extends to keep- ing the peace. There is nothing to be done but to keep the peaca—catch the rogues, try and punish them—till the Supreme Court or the Court of Er- rors decide who is right, by deciding on a writ of | mandamus. Funny, isitnot? But so it is Brurtasiry or rue Press.—The ‘ Times’ and the ‘Journal of Commerce” reprove the “ Courier and Evquirer” fer its brutality and heartlessness in attaching the Hon. T. F. Marshall—but we do not | suppose that reproof will have any effect on that chaice organ of the drunkards, the blackguarde, and the gamblers. The “Courier” is past all shame. Ever since it took the bribe of $52,000 from the “old-fashioned United States Bank,” and thereby changed its politics, it has been steeped in corrup- tion and infamy to the very ¢ye-lids. The ‘Cou- rier” has been the instigator of numerons riots— | charged members of Congress with selling their votes for $100,000 each—outra ged every feeling and every principle of social life—eind is now a taker of | the benefit of the Bankrupt Lexw, for debts equal to | $210,000, without shewing amy assets. Can decency | or gentlemanly feeling be expe cted from such a con- | cern?’ There isnot a peryon about it, that has the first element of a gentlen ran or a man of decency. | Geer Usioy.—Tom, Benton and Henry Clay are “approximating very raj idly in their political move- ments, They occupy the ultra ground of the two parties, and, moving from the extremes, will unite to | “head off Captain Tyler.” ‘The next Congressional j elections will prod nee a new development of par- ties.

Clubs in favor of Mr. Clay are in- creasing every day in this city, and Jacob Acker, a very clever man, is at the head of the central club, intending to doa large business in “heading off the Captain.” We hope they will take care of their own heads and tails. Then, at Albany, Orville De- Advertiser,” which is now the organ of the Clay party of the State—Thuylow Weed not having virtue enough to be trusted. Mr. Dewey is at least an honorable man and a gentleman—a kind of charac- ter which no man can lay to the charge of the State Barber. Altogether, the several pieces of the machinery to make Mr. Clay next President are coming togeth- er very well—but they must take care not to burst their boiler before the get into port. Joun M. Borrs Hxapep Orr.—John M. Botts, M.C., the famous “header off” of Captain Tyler, has, we learn, been headed off in New York by a New Jersey mare. He came here to back Boston, on which he had staked a small sum of money ; of course he lost it all. John will now probably write another letter to the Richmond Coffee House, but instead of “heading off Captain Tyler” it will be to head off a poor, innocent mare, who never heard one of John’s'eloquent speeches, and does not dream of the damage she has done We advise John to quit the turf and take the t total pledge. He is a capital fellow—has several good points—goes his paces very well—and knows enough of human nature to go it strong on cold water. Puitapecruta Posrmasrer.—All the talk about the removal of this gentleman is preposterous. He is a capital officer, and will not be removed. Mr. Roberts, the Collector, will, however, be removed— if he does net mind his p’s and q’s._ In fact he is unfit for the office. “ Off with his head ; “ $0 much for Buckingham.” Tue Puutapecrnia Unrrep Staves Gazerre.— The New York Correspondent of this paper pilfers the result of the great race on Tuesday from our Extra, and the U.S. G. published it without any ac- knowleagement.

The Bennett’s, with one or two t’s to their nameer, appear to be rising in the world. It will be recollect- ed that there are two races of Bennetts, both having been with Romulus at the building of Rome. The patrician race spell theirname with one small t—the plebeians always stick in two capitals, thus, TT. The meaning of it is, that the patricians have had their day—but the plebeians are only beginning theirs. Much philosophy in t. MEesMeErisM, on THE MaGnetic Paitosorny.—We understand that’ M. de Bonneville, a pupil, disciple, or descendent of Mesmer, the great Magnetic Phi- losopher, intends to deliver a scientific lecture on this curious science, in the Society Library Rooms, on Saturday evening next. De Bonneville is a young man of great learning, enthusiasm, faith and philosophy. He is a native of France—and speaks the English with a foreign ac- cent. He was Professor of modern languages in Harvard College, near Boston, and abandoned his place to convert the world to the new faith, which is now revealed from heaven, in these latter days, through the medium of magnetism. His lecture on Saturday night is intended to wind up this “ holy week” with a full explanation of the principles of all religion, all morals, all philosophy, all horse-racing, all civilization. He intends, on the principles of the new science, to construct society on a new plan, that will surpass the Fourierites and leave them far behind—shewing that they are only large squashes, pealed and galvanized. Prepare for great revelations next Saturday—par- ticularly let the ladies prepare. Nor p& Braxis is doing wonders in Philadel- phia. Tis “ Figaro”? and “ Fanatico,” both in costume, has given a respectable audience to the Chesnut street Theatre, Philadelphia, and drawn down great applause. Apropos—we hear that Charlotte Cushman intends to give the Signor an important position in the opera troupe of the new theatre. With De Begnis as manager of the musi- cal department—and Mrs. Sutton as prima donna, a troupe could be picked up in London or Paris that would establish Italian Opera in this metropolis on apermanent footing. Charlotte, we shall insist on opera, two or three nights a week, when you get under way. What say ? Bravtirut Sieut.—New York harbor presented a splendid sight yesterday. There were riding at anchor off the Battery, the razee Independence» frigate Columbia, schooner of war Boxer, and the Royal Mail steamer Medway. Racrs.—To-morrow will be a great day at the Union Course. There will probably be four horses run; and it being four mile heats, great sport is expected. The entries will be named to-morrow. Vessets 1x Port.—There were one hundred and twenty-eight ships and barke, one hundred and five brigs, three men-of-war and two English{steamships in this port yesterday morning. These are exclusive of schooners, sloops and Americen steamers. Of the above, thirty ships and barks and thirty-three brigs, are laid up, and ninety-eight ships and barks, and seventy-two brigs taking in cargo and discharg- ing. Tue Weatnen.—--The mercury at Patterson's café went up to 80° in the shade. Rerorrep.—There was a report in town yester- day that the steam ship Trent had a brush with the blacks at Grenada, about two weeks ago. We could trace the report to no authentie source. Aurerep.—The Camden and Amboy Railroad Line for Philadelphia, will leave pier No. 2 North River, this morning. at 6 o'clock, A. M., and con- tinue at that hour uatil further notice. Bur two Lerr!—Rufus Bennett, one of the three surviving relics of that bloody battle which rendered sad and desolate the young colony of Wy- oming, is deat. He was in the eighteenth year of his age at the time of the massacre, consequently at his death, he must have been nearly eighty-two years of age. Sauwon 1x tHE Merrimac.—A fine salmon, weighing 16lb., was taken last week in the Merri- mac, the first for the season. Navat.—The United States sloop of war Warren, trom Vera Craz, Tampico, Lagunna, and last from Galveston, was spoken on the 29th April, on a cruise —all well. was thinly attended and but one race come off — ‘The day was pleasant, though windy, and the course was in good condition. The purse was $300, two mile heats, and the following horses were en- tered :— A. Conover entered Plenipo, 5 fyears old, by Eclipse, dam Polly Hopkins john Haggerty entered Prima Donna, by Priam, dam La- dy Roland, 4 years old. Wm. R. Johnson entered Tyler, by imported Trustee, dam Kate Kearney 5 years old. Samuel Laird entered Tempest, by imported Trustee, dam Jeanette, 4 years old, Charles Lloyd entered Truxton, by imported Barefoot, dam Princess, 5 years old Previous to the start Haggerty’s Prima Donna paid forfeit, and was withdrawn. Tyler was the favor- ite against the field until within a few minutes be- fore the bugle sounded to saddle, when the tide charged, for reasons that some of the “ knowing ones” thought gure, and the field against Tyler was all the go, Considerable betting was made both w before the tap of the drum, and after two at- tempts to start, they succeeded in getting off nearly even, Tyler on the lead. ‘Truxton who won the poll, passed him on the first half mile, Plenipo and ‘Tempest following close behind, and as they came down the last stretch "twas hard to tell who was who onthe lead. Tyler made a dash within about 200 rods of the course and passed Truxton, winning the heat by only about halfa neck, Plenipo and Tempest behind about two lengtha, the latter lap- ping His quarter. ‘Time 4 m. 28. Seconp Hrat.—There was but little betting be- tween the heats, and at the start Tempest took the lead, Truxton seeond, Tyler third, and Plenipo last. At the first half mile post Plenipo made a dash and passed the field, when 20 to 12 was offered several times on the field against Tyler and taken. Tem- pest passed him before they came to the scroll, and they came rushing by all in a mass, Plenipo second, Tyler third, and Tauxton about two lengths in the rear. On passing the first gate Tyler closed up to ‘Tempest, and a sharp contest followed between them for the heat, which was finally won by Tyler, Tem- pest lapping him, Plenipo in the rear about a length, his rider playing him with the whip, and ‘Truxton three lengths behind. Time 3m. 49s. This heat was well contested and run in excellent time. ‘Tyler wasrode by B. Craig, Tempest by Jo Laird, Plenipo by Bill Songer, and Truxton by Abe Wales. There were a number of very fine turnouts upon the ground, and coming in we observed three bloods from Philadelphia, Jack Savage, John Koehler, Hurry {Connolly and Penrose Ash, going it under full steam, at the rate off four miles an hour in a full sized cab with both horse and driverin a perfect melt, and they enveloped ina cloud of dust thick enough to be cut up in chunks for transportation toa soil of clay bottom. The three mite heats come off to-day, the entries for which will be seen in another column. For to- morrow it is yet uncertain what horses will start- Mr. Long has challenged the owners of Fashion to put her in for the race, and offers to bet $1000 that he will not only win the Jockey Club purse for that day, but also at Camden and Trenton, next week and the week after; our southern friends may therefore expect some sport. He also has offered to run Boston against Fashion this fall for a similar amount and race as that recently contested, neither of which have been accepted yet. There are several horses upon the ground who will enter for the four mile day in all probability in addition to Boston, viz :—Mr. Gibbon’s Mariner, half brother to Fashion out of Bonnets O’Blue, by Shark; Treasurer, out of Dove by imported Roman, and Phil Brown, (Glaucus) imported. Boston cut a gash several inches in length in one of his flanks while runing the first heat on Tuesday, he having forced himself too close to the paling, and there isno doubt that the mare has a curb, (although a fleshy one,) that will induce her owners to keep her back for the present. The following is considered to be the time of the several miles as run on Tuesday between the north- ern and southern nags :— Firat Heat. Second Heat. ‘Time of First mile. ..153 Time of First mile. . .1 57 “+ Second mile. .1 50} “ 37 “Third mile. . 2164 “ nf Fourth mile. .155 hg Time of First Heat...732} Time of Second Het The time of the mile sweepstakes run on the same day by Floyd's bay colt, was Im. 64s. and Im. 53s. Whie Assistant ALpERMEN.—The Whig mem- bers, including Mr. Atwill, of the Sixth, organized in the tea room of the City Hall, (the Assistant’s Chamber being occupied by the Supreme Court,) Mr. Scoles inthe chair. Mr. Adams, Assistant Al- derman of the Fifth was appointed President, Mr. Edward Williams, clerk, Mr. A. Kimball, deputy clerk, and Mr. Fitz, sergeant-at-arms, They passed a resolution appointing a committee to wait upon the Mayor, stating that they were or- ganized and ready to proceed to business, after which they adjourned to Wednesday evening next. Ocran Srramers.—The Acadia, from Liverpool, has now been eight days at sea, and the British Queen, from Antwerp and Southampton, Eng. ht daya from the former, and five days from the latter port. The Caledonia leaves Boston next Monday for Liverpool. The Trent sailed yesterday for Hali- fax, and the Medway sails to-day or to-morrow for Nassau, N. P., Havana, &c. Ina few years there will be nothing but steam vessels on the ocean. Sreamsure Brrransta left Halifax on the 5th in- stant for Liverpool, without the Canada mail. From Nassav, N.

Trovures IN Mexico.—Extract of a letter from Mexico, of 8th April.—‘ The continuance of the present dynasty in Mexico I think is assured until the meeting of Congress in June next, for the con- cocting of a new constitution. All the elections throug! out the Republic have gone against Santa Anna’s party; and the consequence will be a dread- ful strife between the Executive and this body. The President has the army, and the Congress the people on their side, and it is difficult to foresee the issue, though many of the popular leaders of the Federal party (i.e. the party in favor of the consti- tution of 1834, which resembles our own) imag ne that a total anarchy will ensue, resulting finally in the success of an entire popular Goverament, as op- posed to a strong central one. Pancration.—The Burlington (Iowa) Gazette states that the emigration into that territory this spring is very great and that scarcely a boat parses upthe river without setting off dozens of new co- mers on the wharf at that mi ce, with their varied implements of husbandry- LATEST INTELLIGENCE bY THE SOUTHERN & WESTERN MAL Washington. [Correspondence of the Herald.] Wasnixeron, Tuesday, 3P. M. in both Houses—-fthode Island Affalr, Ke. After the presentation of memorials and petitions, Mr. Benton’s resolution, ealling upon the Postmas- ter General for information, came up. Mr. Benton delivered a long egotisticai tirade,in which he swag- gered and boasted in his usual style. ‘They have begun this matter with me,” said he, “and 1 will end it with them.” Mr. Linn made a few remarks,§in the course of which he suggested the propriety of removing the injunction of secrecy from the proceedings of the Senate inexecutive session. He said it was well known to Senators that in the present state of things “bad men were whitewashed, and good men abused.” After some remarks from Mr. Preston the subject was passed over, and the Senate took up the bill relating to the jurisdiction of State and Federal Courts. Mr. Choate has the floor in reply to Mr. Buchanan. The Speaker presented to the House a message from the President, covering a letter from B. F. Butler, in which he complains of the course pursued towards him by the commissioners who investigated the affairs of ‘the New York Custom House, and asks a full scrutiny into his official conduct. Some other documents of no public importance were pre- sented from subordinate officers, when the House went into committee of the whole on the appropria- tion bill, upon which the day will be occupied. It is said that the President has written anotl: letter to Goy. King, of Rhode Island, maintaining the ground assumed in the first jcommunication, but recommending to the government a conciliatory course, and the offer of a compromise to the revolu- tionary party. The President will not abate one inch of his constiiutional position, and if the crisis shall be precipitated, the Federal Gov- ernment must sustain the regularly constituted authorities; but if the Legislature siin!! propose a Convention to form a new Constitution, the mem- bers to be elected by the people without, regard to property qualifidations, the difficulties will be ended atonce. Messrs. Dorr and Pearce profess a desire to avert a crisis, and will recommenda concurrence in this proposition. They leave here this afternoon, satisfied that the safest and best course is to post- pone the thing for the present, and trust to the good sense of the people for the result. __ It is understood that Commodore Morgan, who is in command of the Mediterranean squadron, has suspended Captain Tattersall, late of the sloop Fairfield, and that the cutter has returned to the United States. Capt. Tattersall is one of the most gallant, accomplished and examplary officers in the service. oh é The nature and origin of the difficulty is not known, but the supposition is that some matter of official etiquette was the cause. Whatever the dif- ity, no man, whether in the nayy or out, ac- quainted with the two officers, will hesitate to believe that Capt. Tatteraallis in the right. Com. Morgan is a good seaman and a brave officer, but Captain Tattnall is a man of intellect, of the nicest sense of honor, and of official and social propriety, and while he would guard his own rights with the most jealous sensitiveness, he would never trench upon those of another.

[Correspondence of the Herald.) Batrmorr, May 11, 1842. Mr. Eprror— Last evening I took a stroll to the camp ground, where, on Monday next, the great encampment is to be held. It is really a beautiful spot, and well adapted to the occasion. Twenty or thirty booths have already been put up by porsons whose purpose it is to keep accommodations in the way of eata- bles and drinkables. There are also several tem- perance booths, where every thing, except the “critter,” will be kept. Some of the companies from a distance will be here to-morrow or nextday. Every body is talking about the pleasure to be de- rived trom visiting ‘Camp Baltimore.” Our yolun- teer companies are out on every occasion, drilling, th an eye to the grand prize flag. The quarrel between Stanley and Wise is much talked of, and has produced a great deal of anxiety. Last night .we had a report that they had fought, and that Wise was killed. Every mail, however, from Aig et it is thought, may bring such in- telligence. They must tight—there is no possible way of escaping it. ‘We are very anxious to hear how the great race between Fashion and Boston terminated.

Prinapeenia, May 11, 1842. The Custom House, and Consistency of the 1 iuing of the Clay Press—Return of Lewis mpster— Stocks, &c. The work of renovation and purification has be- gun in our Custom House, and where and when it will end is more than can nowbe told. This move- ment is directly from the President ; and although but one man has received orders to quit, it gives fearful augury to the Clay incumbents of what may be expected to follow. The person removed is an appraiser, and, of course, not one of Roberts’ ap- pointments, as the appraisers are all appointed by the President One or two of the Clay press of this city are la- boring very hard to thwart the President in thi business of removals, the same too which a ye: ago looked on ‘as calm as~a summer’s morning,” when about double the number which it is now pro- posed to eject for cause, were unceremoniously turned out, without a day’s notice, wholly on the score of theirpoliiics These men too, most of them, had large families. In the face of such facts, and at the risk of respect for all consistency, one of these Ts this oeetae moderately say: “Mr. Roberts, isto be dismissed from the office of Collector of the Customs of the port of Philadel- phia, because he Tefuses to Loser from office nearly forty men, most of them with families against whom not asin ie charge of incompetency or mal- ractice is urged.” ‘a This ots excite the sympathy of the Presi- dent. It could hardly have been expected to have much weight with a disinterested community, who remember the sweering ramovals a yearago in the same offices. Then follows from the same paper a of different tone. “Well, suppose Mr. Tyler finding that Mr. Ro- berts refuses to lend himself to such ‘ executive wrong, dismisses the veteran, does he suppose that he can find in Phtladelphia a man that will do the dirty work? Does he mpl that there isa Penn- sylvanian competent to the office of Collector, who will take it at the price imposed 1 No such man is to be found among us.” I much question whether this threat. will prove more effectual than the coaxing tone first tried. John Tyler, it is said, has taken his stand, and will go ahead without fear or intimidation. The asser- tion of not being able to find men who will be willing to accept of ‘the office of Collector with the condition of removing forty men when we have a living example of tne Raving been found to take it who reved eighty, must not be expected to find many believers in these hard times.

Cireuit Court, Before Judges Thompson and Betts. May 11.—Drcisions.—Runnals vs. Badger.—An action for infringement of a machine for dressing feathers. The defendant put in a plea on theftrial that the case had been tried before, in which he averred that the invention, did not belong to plaintiff, but that the machine had been tised at Boston as a coffee roaster, and tbe jury found in his fa- vor. In demurring tothe plea these facts are not denied, and the Court must therefore consider them to be correct. Plea allowed. Carlock vs. Tappan.—Thyee pleas were entered in this case, averring that plaintiff had assigned, and given away the right of the patent for making stock frames, ke., which is the subject of this suit. ‘The Court objected to pleas being thus multiplied.

Sce- ing the steamboat some distance off, and supposing in ac- cordance with the rule of navigation, that the vessel hav- ing the wind must make way for the other, she altered her course. ‘The steamboat did not see her till very near and raninto her. The Court held that the old custom rela. tive to sail vessels did not apply to steemboats, wh were enabled to steer in any direction, and on them must rest the responsibility when a vessel is run foul of by them no matter how may be the wind. The Lancet was bound to keep her place without reference to the steamboat, and her leaving the channel was the sole cause of the accident, The District Court had also entertained these views, and found for the defendant.
