AND STAN w Copr or Honor.— These gentlemen, it seems, have settled all their difficulties according to some new code of honor re- cently discovered in the atmosphere of Washington city.

Dr. Collyer, the celebrated mesmerist and neurohyppnologist, has arrived in this city, and intends shortly to give ies of very curious and interesting lectures on mesmerism, phrenology, and various other matters. We learn also that he intends to enter the cage of the great lion at the Bowery menagerie, and mes- merise him as Daniel did in the olden tim: Query Will he meamerise the lion, or the lion magnetise him?

The audience was highly res- pectable, though not so numerous as it might have ‘This probably arose from the yery natural idea that a new opera is a very hum-drum, hazard- ous effort, and, in these hard-money times, that it is better to wait and hear its probable success before paying eash in advance. We can hardly attempt any severity of criticism ona first night—but our first impressions are favyora- ble, and that is saying a good deal in these degene- rate days. Many of the arias are light, gay, and airy—pretty little ballads—and nice bits of harmo- ny. Some others of these ballads, songs, or wi you p tocallthem, are quite beautiful. The first song by Karl (Horn) is a sweet gem of plain- tive melody. The following are the principal songs of the ** Li- bretto,” all composed by G. P. Morris: Interior of a German Inn, DUBTT—GERTRUDE AND MANS. Gen. Ho ! Hans! y, Hans !~You Hans, I say ! the deuce to pay !

The winter of love is the beam that we win, While the storm howls without from the sunshine within; Love’s reign is eternal—the heart is his throne, And he has all seasons of life for his own. DUETI—LANISKA AND FREDRICA From my fate there's no retreating, Love commands andl obey ; How with joy my heart is beating, At the fortunes of to-day.

Love can ne'er be forced to tarry ; Chain him,—he'll the bonds remove ; Paired, not match'd, too many marry— All should wed alone for love, Let him on the bridal even, Trim his lamp with constant ray ; And the flame will light to heaven, When the world shall fade away.

We take therefrom the following resolution :— Resolved, That there shall be chosen, by ballot, in Con- vention of both branches of the Legislature, four persons, who are hereby constituted and appointed Commissioners, on the part of this State, to repair to the seat of Govern: ment of the United States, and to confer with the authori- of that Government touching # Conventional line, or line by agreement, between the State of Maine and the British Provinces, and to give the assent of this State to any such line, with such terms, conditions, considerations and equivalents as they shall’ deem consistent with the honor and interest of the State; with the understanding that no such line be agreed upon without the assent of such Commissioners, In reference to this report, the Augusta Age of the 21st, contains the following remarks:— From the information we derive from casual con- versations, the passage of the Resolves in the House oe essential modifications, ismore than doubt- ul. The modifications may be, either instructions to the proposed Commissioners, at least as specific as such as are inferrable from Gov. Fairfield’s Me: or a provision for a reference of the matter to the people, either preliminarily, or finally.” The Hon. Peleg Sprague, Judge of the United States District Court for Massachusetts, appeared before the Joint Committee which had the Govern- or’s Message under consideration, at the request of Mr. Webster, and explained to them divers matters relating to the proposed negotiation. Sprenpip Navan Lacvncn.—The frigate Savan- nah will be launched from the Navy Yard, Brook- lyn, to-morrow at half past 8 o’clock inthe morn- ing. ‘The gate on York street will be open for the ad- mission of all orderly persons desirous of witnessing the launch. Children will not be admitted unless accompanied by their parents. To prevent acci- dents, persons insteamers and small boats are cau- tioned not to pass within the two lines of guard boats. A gun from the Fulton, and the American flag displayed on the western ship house, will give warning just before launching to keep out of the way. Evau‘an Parsrs.—We are indebted to Will- mer & Smith, the agents of Harnden & Co. in Li- verpool, for London papers of the 4th inst., which they received by special express in time to meet the Acadia. Exrzcrep.— Fourteen Catholic priests from France by the Havre packet, to say prayers and keep up the fires of the church in this country. Scmnrirtc Lecrures.—Dr. Lardner has given a series of most admirable lectures on scientific sub- jects in this city, to large and very fashionable audi- ences. On Saturday night last he hada very ele gant audience, although Saturday is the Jew’s Sab- bath,and the Sabbath of many Christians commences at ‘sundown, and thus prevent many from attending. He is going out west ina few days. He starts to deliver a course of scientific lectures at West Point; then leaves for Albany, Troy, Buffalo, and various other places. The popularity of his lectures is very great, owing to the sound practical views on science that he inculeates. There is no Fourierism or Squashism, or Mesmerism, or Transcendentalism, or any other ism in his lectures, but sound, practical science. And inthis way he does more for the cause of science, than half the modern philosophers of the present day put together. News rrom Canapa.—We have received, by Harnden & Co., Montreal papers of Saturday. Sir Charles Bagot was to arrive there that day, and his first levee takes place to-day. On the 17th instant, Lieutenant General Sir James Macdonell, arrived at Montreal from Quebec, for the purpose of taking leave of His Excellency the Commander of the forces, preparatory to leaving the Bravurna—Soruia.

There is much lightnoss and gaiety about the whole thing—quite in the naive spirit of Morris's songs. Oratorio To-Niaut.—The splendid Oratorio of David is to be given to-night by the New Sacred Music Society at the Tabernacle. It is to be a benefit perfermance for the Society, in which all the Singers as well as the Orchestra render thei, services gratuitously. It is the last public perform ance, as the Society intend to become exclusively amateur. Therefore, those who wish to hear the grandest and most splendid Oratorio ever produced, have a chance to-night that will probably never of- fer again. ——a A New Ixvertion—A Crriovs axp VALUABLE Macnixe.—We call the attention of our readers to an advertisement in this day’s paper in relation to the newly invented Omnigraph Machine. The me- rits of this machine are cheapness, very great expe- dition, extreme clearness, uniformity and beauty in the letters. It does not confine the publisher of a map to use a common sort of letter on the score of economy ; but allows him to use the most expensive letter with equal despatch, consequently reduces the price fully one half. On the most common work it will accomplish the labor of 8 or 10 hand engravers, and on the best work nearly double that number. This will allow of easy explanation. It will exe- cute work equally well on copper or steel plates of any size or dimensions, with this advantage, that plates executed by it wear mych longer than those engraved by hand. It does not of necessity require experienced engravers to work it, but can be worked by lads or females without difficulty, after a little experience in handling it; one of whom can exe- cute as much work as four or five of the best engra- vers. Any letter that can be executed by hand can be accomplished by the Omnigraph. It ig also ap- plicable to many fother sorte of work. Trees, fo- ests, houses, soldiers and mountains, ean allbe ex- eeuted by the machine Province for England, Sir James being succeeded in hiscommand by Major General Sir James Hope, who arrived in the Acadia. Wesrwarp Tue Star or Wiip Beasts Pornts 1T3 Way.—All those fine animals comprising the cele- brated menagerie of June, Titus, Angevine & Co., in the Bowery, being the most complete and unique collection of wild beasts probably in the world, will leave this city in a few days for an extended tour through the principal towns of this State and the west, and we presume Canada. We advise all per- sons that can, togo and see them. Re.ictovs.—The Right Rev. “Bishop Onderdonk was at Plattsburg on the 2Ist instant. Dorris gone. Ruove Istanp.—As she was. Doe Cnear.—The Catskill and the Ithica rail roads. They sold for the value of the rails. Destnovep.—The print works of Mr. Schooler, in Billerica, by fire, on the 21st instant.

Littlejohn, in May of last year, hired of defendant the store No. 300 Broadway, for the purpose of carrying on the confectionary business. Not making his fortune so fast as he anticipated, he sold out to George W. Dixon, who was to give him $500 cash for his stock, and take the store off hishands. George went to Mr. Grosseut’s place of business, on behalf of Mr. Littlejohn, and tendered the amountof rent due, at the same time stating the arrange- ment he had entered into, but Mr.G. demurred to the Po- lyanthos being mingled with the “other sweets” for sale on the premises, and told Littlejohn, it is affirmed, if he would move off he would not hold his property for the rent.— Mr. L. then sold out to plaintiff, who stored the goods with the understanding alluded to, in the basement, but they were seized upon by defendant, about two months after- wards, under a distress warrant, and sold; property worth $400, bringing but $130. The present action is brought to recover damages. The defendant denied having re- leased the goods. Testimony was offered on both sides.— Verdict for plaintiff, $250 damages and 6 cents costs. For plaintiff, Messrs. R. Reed and J.B. Scoles—Mr. Wm ‘W. Van Wagener for defendant, General Sessions, Before Judges Lynch and Noah, and Aldermen Martin and Jones. Janes R. Woitixo, Esq. District Attorney. Mar93.—A man named John Larkin, who recently kept a grocery store corner of Corlears and Monroe streets, was tried fora misdemeanor in offering the meat of a cow for sale on the 25th ult. that was considered by the Health Wardens as unfit for use. The prosecution roved by Benjamin W. Ballow, the Health Warden of the Seventh Ward, that the ment was offered for sale on the shambles in Larkin’s grocery store on the 25th, and that it was unfit for use, and unhealthy in appearance.— Matthew Bird and Andrew McKee, butchers, stated that they killed the cow at the request of Mr. Larkin, and dressed her in the usual manner. Bird said that the meat looked well enough,although very poor, but that he would not have. sold or eaten it himsel! He advised Larkin to sell it to the bone man, who he said generally put up such meat as “jerked beef.” The detence, conducted by Coun- cillor Joachimson, proved that Larkin hat offered the meat for eale as dog's meat only, and therefore he was not guilty of the charge. Also, thatthe cow had been kicked by & horse that produced premature delivery of a calf, and he therefore had her killed for the hide and tallow. —The Jury, after an absence of about half an hi turned into Court, and stated that they believed the pi oner shoul, be severely consured by the Court, bu owing to the contradictory nature of the testimony, they could not bring in a verdict of guilty. The prisoner was therefore reprimanded by the Court and discharge). Cross Fire.—Mr, George Magn’ f 135 William street, son of James §. Magnus, was tried for an assault and bat- tery on John Jacob Wintringham, son of John Wintring- ham, and John J. Wintriagham was also ja on his trial before the same jury for an assault and battery on James S. Magnus. It was proved that young Wintriagham knocked old Magnus down twice, and that young Mag- nus beat young, intringham io return—that old ) us called Wintringham’s relatives hard names, which indu- ced hfm to commit the assault, and that young Magnus bent him in return for striking his father. The jury found them both guilty, ond the Court sentenced them to a fine of $25 each. Selling a Brother's Horse.—A young man named George Boerem, was then tried on a charge of grand larcen: selling a horse, cart and harness, belonging to his ther ‘Townsend Bosrem of 22 Watt street Tt was proved that the horse and cart had been placed in the hands of pri- soner with a understanding that he was to give half the proceeds of the days labor to the owner. Instead of re- turning the horse and cart, he sold them to Robert Dough erty, livery stable keeper, of 838 Madison street, and thr harnessto another person. The prisoner was defended W. Terhune, Esq., who contended there was no evl- ce of felonious intent on the part of the prisoner a! the time he became in possession of the property, and, therefore, the jury must acquit him. Under the charg: of the Jwige, who took the «ame view of the case, the jury after an nbsence of about half aa hour, returned o verdict of not guilty.

They adjourned to seven o'clock that evening, and again met, at which time they agreed to resume on the next Monday (the 16th.)

Washington, (Correspondence of the Herald. Wasutncton, Saturday Evening. Navy Appropriation—Mr, Cushing—The Ta- rif—No Duel, &c, There has been no action in Congress to-day.— The Senate adjourned over yesterday, and the House has been engaged in the discussion of the Navy Appropriation Bill. Mr. Cushing made a very able and judicious speech, replying at length to the attacks upon the Navy trom all quarters, and en- forcing the necessity of liberal appropriations. Mr. Cushing is one of the very few men in the House who never undertake to discuss a question without understanding it in all its branches—hence his speeches are always instructive, always to the point, and never fail to produce an impression. Scarcely a man in the country has been so much abused and misrepresented. With the exception of Mr. Adams, who is sui gencris, Mr. Cushing has probably more varied and extensive information than any man in Congress. He possesses an admirably disciplined mind, powers of analysis and demonstration rarely excelled, and habits of industry and patient investigation equal to the most elaborate researches, He not only hasthe faculty of acquiring and expressing, but he has genius tocreate. Asaspeaker, he is alwas accurate in his facts, precise and logical in his style, and impressive | in his manner—as a writer clear, forcible, and occa- sionally eloquent. A combination of so much eru- dition with so vigorous an intellect, a judgment so sound and a head so clear, would ensure distinction toanyman. Mr. Cushing is young to have achieved the eminence he now enjoys, and it can hardly be doubted that he is destined to a career of much use- falness and henor. The navy appropriation bill is to be taken out of committee on Monday, and will probably pass the House on Tuesday. The army bill is expected to come upnext. That may be disposed next week, and then comes a long and acremonious discussion on the tariff. The committee on finance will endea- yor to get up the exchequer, but there is hardly a possibility .hat it will be touched in either house at the present session. The fate of the tariff is very doubtful, but the chances are against its passage. The high tariff men, with a degree of folly hardly conceivable, will mix up the question of distribution with it, and probably swamp every thing. On this subject most of the whigs are blindly fanatical. The distributicn law is a mere abstraction—a dead letter, by its own terms,never could have been carried with- out the clause which every body knew would render it imperative; yet the whigsare ready to risk every thing,the credit of the government; the prosperity of the country to preserve this monument of their sn- perlative wisdom ! A measure of questionable expe- dieney, even with an overflowing treasury, but of unutterable folly when the government is staggering undera loat of debt, and unable to borrow, the whigs intend to violate the compromise by which they carried the law through, and make distribution unconditional, absolute. A precious bargain the country got in the whig said of the late revolution in England, we were dis- posed to rejoice at the change, as it delivered us from a government disgraceful in many respects, and looked upon the defeat of Van Buren as an evi- dence of convalescence and improving health in the public mind. But the whigs have disappointed every body. All their bold pledges are shabbily evaded, and all their big words shamefully eaten. They are incompetent to carry on the govern- ment, and it will be a happy thing for the country when President Tyler finds a majority in Congress who have no connexion with that most imnpracti- cable and incapable party. It is understood this evening that the difficulty between Messrs. Wise and Stanly has been ami- cably and satisfactorily settled. How, is not known, but honorably to both it must have been, for the affair was placed in the hands of four gentlemen of high character for honor and courage, and of un- questionable authority in all mattegs pertaining to the duello. On the part of Mr. Wise, were Mr. Cost Johnson, aad General Campbell, formerly in Congress, from South Carolina—for Mr. Stanly, Mr. Raynor of the House, and Colonel MeCarty of Vir- ginia. Blessed be the peace-makera. We never shall have another fight in Congress. The thing ix impossible. Here is as a pretty quarrel as ever was cooked up, knocked on the head, and no blood spilled. What would Captain Mac Turk say ? The motive of the radicals in Congress in promot- ing the recent farce in Rhode Island is now well understood here. The object was to prejudice Pre- sident Tyler with the democratic party, and they undertook to encourage the factious movement, professing great regard for liberty and the right of suffrage, in the expectation that the course of the President might eventually be rendered unpopular ; and Mr. Calhoun and his friends, who were known to approve it, injuriously affected by an open demon- stration, Jt was with this view that Mr. Allen and his coadjutors in the Senate pushed on the discus. sion. They intended to compel Mr. Calhoun to tak: ground, and hence the pertinacity with whiel’ they clung to Mr, Allen’s resolution, foreing it before the Senate against the manifest wish of the majority, and in violenes of prudence and propricty. We shall see a fracture in the bones of the great democratic party, and some new combinations by and by. That will be more surprising than delight ful to certain Pr i i [Correspondence of the Herald.] Bartimone, May 23, 1949.

It was ascertained by, the teachers yesterday, that twenty-five thousand had, signified a desire to participate in the ceremonies. ‘There may be more or less than that number out. The stree's have been for hours filled with boys and’girls in their holiday suits, marked by badges, hurrying to and fro to their several schools.
