The greatest explosion from the force of internal pent up fires was felt at Cape Haytien, St. Domingo, on the 7th instant; i three successive and violent shocks; vious to the first of them a shock of the earth- quake was felt at Porto Rico, on the morning of the 7th of May, which as far as we have yet learned, was the most casterly point that the eflects of it were felt. The internal fires, it seems, then took a north- westerly direction, struggling to escape from their prison house, and ultimately tore the ground asunder and broke out at Cape Haytien. It stretched clear across the breadth of St. Domingo and wasfelt at Port iu Prince on the same day and at nearly the same hour. at Maya- ville and or two other places in Louisiana; thence to Van Puren, Arkansas, and clear up to the foot of the Rocky Mountains; where it was also felt on the same day. It thus travelled at least 1500 miles, and perhaps was felt even further. It isa sublime and awful thought; here we have proofs of the ex- istence of a body of internal fires 1500 miles long and probably as many deep. the effeets of this ree here they h and pre It also travelled on and was fe guez at thesame time; then to St. Marti on Tue Ruopg Istaxp Roor Breer Riors.—It ap pears that there is yet to be another “scene” be- fore this business is settled.

Many imigrants pay their money for tickets—and afterwards find them of no use. The best way is never to pay your passage beyond the next large town, Oup Poiws—This venerable sinner is getting leeper and deeper in trouble. ‘The Boston people whom he attacked have sent to Mississippi to pick 1p affidavits against his moral, political and chris- ian character. Great developments on these points ure expected. Old Poins will have to get Satan to assist him, or at least little Counsellor Dwight, who will be a tolerable substitute of “ hell’s grim lawyer,” in any difficulty. The following is the first counter dose :— A Counter Blast to Poindexter’s Report. in March, 1841, we obtained from Mr. Curtis the privi- lege of supplying a portion of the printing for the Custom House, and all our Bills against the Collector, amounting a the whole to one thousand and sixty-six dollars, were laid befere Mr. Poindexter for his scrutiny on the 16th of November. Soon after Mr. Curtis came into office, and before the re- sulation was established, by which the Collector, alone, sives orders for stationery and printing, we received an order for certain stationery from one of the storekeepers, which we supplied, amounting in the whole to $79 50— which forms a part of the sum of one thousand and sixty- ix dollars, before mentioned. This is all the stationery we have ever supplied to any department of the Custom House, and this was furnished without the order or know- lodge of the Collector, at the time it was delivered. Now let us see what cander and truth Mr. Poin- dexter has treated this subject. At page 145 of the Report, Mr. Poindexter states “ the principal supply of printing and stationery for the Custom House, was given tou ir. Curtis shortly after hecame into office,” that we are “journeyman printers, and near relatives of his,” &e. On the next page it is stated of us, “They had no ans to supply stationery tothe Custom House, and yet made those supplies at their own extravagant rates, “A few examples will serve to show the general cha er of these Bills.” Examples are then professed to en to show our general charge “ for foolscap paper, per ream,” “ for letter po el per ream,” “ for steel pens per gross,” and “ for one Led ‘i Now we aver that we never have furnished any paper tothe Custom House, except one ream of ruled foolscap, and one ream of letter paper ruled, which are the very items mentioned by way of “ example,” to show the gene- ral character of the We have never furnished any Ledger except that one mentioned by way of “ example,” nor have we ever furnished any steel pens, except three gross, and if, in addition to the items mentioned by way of * example,” so show the “general character of these bills” for stationery, Mr. Poindexter had mentioned other small items, amounting to twenty dollars, his ‘ examples” would have included every item of stationery we have ever fur- nished to the Custom House; and the whole amount would have footed up at $79 50! We admit that upon all these supplies of stationery we made a profit of between eight and twelve dollars, and we deny that it has exceeded that sum. And yet throughout the report of Mr. Poindexter we are over and over again mentioned by name, as if we had been the general stationers to the Custom House, and guilty of the grossest extortion in our charges for stationery. Even a corrupt motive in Mr. Curtis, in dealing with us fer stationery, is insinuated, In respect to the prices charged by us for printed blanks, and printing bound in books, it appears, according to the testimony of Mr. David Felt—if that testimony is correctly reported—that we have charged more than hr, Felt says he would have been willing to do the same work for. This may be true. But the better test would have been to have inquired what Mr. Felt is in the habit of charging for like work. We will do Mr. Felt the justice to say that we Jo not believe that he ever gave the testimony attributed to him in this report. We have seen a statement—and can produce it—under the hand of a respectable citizen of New York, :certifyin; that Mr. David Felt charged his customers at the rate of ‘for cap blanks, four on a sheet, from $20 to $27 per ream. For this deseription of blanks we have char $1 Again, the certificate states that Mr. Felt charged “ for cap blanks, two on a sheet, $12.50 to $16 a ream, ruled.” Our price for this article was $12 to $14. “Other cap blanks Mr, Felt charged from $18 to $20” for, while our price was $10 per ream, But why could not Governor Poindexter have allowed us to be present when printers were cheapening our work? ‘At page 147 an unfounded and false insinuation is made, that the paper on which the blanks furnished by us were printed was provided by the Custom House. Contrary to the truth, and without anything to justify it, this miserable insinuation is gratuitously made. Who knows whether specimens of our work were ever exhibited to Mr. Felt? Had we been present we should have suggested to Mr. Poindexter the fact, that he had himself allowed, approved, and certified to be correct and right, some printing and stationery bills for the commis- sion, in the aggregate, quite equal to the amount of our stationery bills, the prices of which would make a very jisagreeable table for him to contemplate, if trasted ith his “market value,” as he reports the evidence of Since Mr. Poindexter would give us no opportunity for explanation, nor even let us know that any was required, we must cross-examine a little now, and we do it by fur: nishing atable made up with perfect accuracy and truth, from the bills of stationery and printing for the commis- sion, certified to be correct, and approved by the signature of George Poindexter, by whose approval the same were paid and charged to the United States, in this city when the commission broke up. We have had access to the ac- counts of his stationer, and present the following table :— Comparative Taste or THE ALL » Manxer Prices or Sratioveny ren Gov.

Mr. Poindexter has been pleased in his State paper, at page 148, to call hucksters,” and reproach us bi 5 we are ‘“ journeymen printers.” We admit that «journeymen printers,” having an office for such job work as we can get, but in a former day of greater pros- dand edited a respectable Whig paper in ior of this State, and we are not unknown to some members of Congress. By misfortune, and the duty of supporting others dependent upon our exertions, we are not so well offin the world now as fermerly, but in days past we had time-and opportunity to read the public prints from the Southwestern States, and the accounts of public trials in the courts. In this way we became acquainted with the character of George Poindexter, and it is weknow who he is, and the enormities that make w history for the last forty e are not much af- flicted by being called ” and “journeymen printers” in his report. We take leave of this notorious person, giving him no- tice, however, that ifhe ever bestows any epithet upon us, such asthe most excusable of his habitual vices entitle him to,we will forthwith take our revenge, being printers, by putting in type, and publishing, his true biography, from the pen ofa brother journeyman printer and corres- pondent of ours now in Mississippi. ‘v. & J.

Mexico.—The political news from this place is small. Santa Anna is steadily, quietly, and secret- ly carrying on his plans with but few friends, and is hated and despised by a majority of the citizens. The three most influential enemies he has, are pro- bably Generals Paredes, Cortezan, and Pedraza, and rumors are continually afloat that, with the troops at their disposal, they will pronounce against the self-styled provisional President. The proba- bility is, however, that no movement will be made a revolutionary nature until the assemblage of the Constituent Congress in June. A majority of this assembly are known to be Liberals, and opposed to the views of Santa Anna, On the 21st April, Mr. Ellis had his audience of leave of Santa Anna, and onthe same day Gen. Thompson presented his credentials, and was re- ceived by the provisional President as the accredited Minister of the United States. ‘The addresses made by these gentlemen upon this occasion, together with the responses of Santa Anna, are published at length in the Diario del Gobierno. he Jady of Gen.

Believing it is your wish to furnish your subscribers with cor rect information, allow me to suggest to you that you must be in error. Undoubted drafts on this place could have been sold in your city at any time within the last four months, to my positive knowledge, at 5 per cent discount, and how much less I cannot say. The notes of the Bank of Brunswick and the Bank of St. Mary’s, have formed almost the entire cireula- tion of the place all this year, and depreciated or non specie paying notes are no longer recognised as the circulating medium. The agents of both the banks alluded to, have been checking on New York, with- out intermission since the first of January, at 14 a 2 per cent premium, Notes of the Central Bank of Georgia have been sold here lately at 15 per cent dis- count, and of the State Bank of Alabama at 23 per cent discount, The establishment of specie paying notes for our currency has effected an entire revolution in our commercial affairs. Nothing short of the very best names in your city will pass here now, where- as, previously, any thing having the least preten- sions to credit, would pass. We have ample sup- plies of goods at reasonable prices, and when our merchants make sales, it is fer money that can be converted into New York funds the same hour at the maximum rate of 2 per cent premium. These checks will purchase our groceries in New Orleans, or pay our Sebte in any part ofthe United States. Your merchants will be enabled the coming season to have collections on this place raade and prompt return at 2 per cent, through a house of unquestioned standing in your city. The rate named will cover exchange, and all other charges excepting postages. So, I trust that you will not put usdown at a discount of 45 per cent any more. Lite and Trust and Union Bank notes, which used to form the currency here, are now entirely unsaleable. The last sale of L. ae T. that I have heard of, was at 35 cents to the ».

Mr. Whitman, and Mr. Carroll, §¢. Mk. Bena Dear Srr:— T perceive that a correspondent from our city has been recently attacking the Post Office manage- ment of this place, It is well, and his remarks will do the right thing. There is no doubt that if the sense of this community were taken, it would be precisely the expression given by your correspon- dent. Letus have more such letters, and the manly independent course of your paper will be sustained, by the large thanks, at least, of our people. Would that we had a paper like yours in the city, with the same industry at its head, to furnish its readers with the true history of the times. Why, sir, we have here in the city of Charleston, material —richJmaterial—to fill a paper even of the dimen- sions of yours—but our editors want the nack to bring it out. No disparagement to them howev- er. I think you will agree with me, that in their respective lines, Yeadon, Cardora, Clapp and Stuart, can’t easily be beaten. The two former, for grave political disquisitions—and the two latter, of the Mercury, for prime, classic, pungent wit, are right down clever fellows, But, friend Bennett, they want your far-reaching notions—your sort of cast net operations of mind, which flings itself, as it were, all over the world, and collects the very latest and best news a stirring. By the bye, your agent here does not do you justice—he has ‘too many irons in the fire, and somehow or other he has your paper always too long “coming.” Touch him up about the matter—or perhaps this complaint will serve the purpose. _ Our Court is now in session, and some cases of rich interest have come up before it—one or two for high crimes and misdemeanors—one murder case, in particular, of great and unusual interest was tried. If one of your reporters had been in hearing he would have made something of it, that would have made your office besieged for copies. There too was a case for receiving stolen goods (cotton) in which the character of one of our most estimable ens was implicated, by the perjured testimony of one of the most accomplished’ villains (as he turned out to be) that ever went unhung. Bless me, what a romance your paper would have made of it! We however have the promise that the want of a proper channel of information is not long to continue. ‘One of your enterprising Northerners is amongst us, and ina month or two will have out a weekly in Charleston, which is to be somewhat on the plan of your Herald. Perhaps its object is too general, and it may promise too much—but he seems to be the right ‘sort cf a man—and he seems moreover to know what he is about. The paper is to be called the Chicora,” and its proprietors Messrs. Dodge & Carroll, the former the gentleman to whom] have just alluded, the latter the present Secretary of our State. Mr. Dodge has already been over the State, and has J learn met with such success that his paper willbe out in July ensuing. I wish him success, and trust he may not forget to take a lesson from the best things of your paper. The Chicora, I under- stand, is a name which the entire Southern country, from Virginia to Florida, bore in Indian times— is the Indian name for the Mocking Bird ; no in- appropriate name, for a paper which is to blend so many notes in its music, if ‘ Our city is getting more animated than it was a month since. The planters are now, coming to town, and our beautiful Battery is beginning to be decked every afternoon and evening with the loveli- ness and f ek of the place. You should see our Battery—you have nothing with you to exceed it in pleasantness or real beauty, Were I a painter | would wish no landscape more soft or mellow to copy from than our sunset as viewed from this beau- tiful spot. Nothing in Italy can surpass it—and I have been a witness of Italian sunset. ‘Then, too, our Southern girls—I was going to describe them, but hearing you are a bachelor, I desist, fearful that I may set your thoughts a floating over here, to the neglect of your dearer object, the Herald. If you can leave the corner of Fulton and Nassau, pay us a visit next winter, and you shall see something of Charleston and its ‘ ancient hospitality.” The temperance fever is raging high here also. 1 believe much good has been done by the hum- bug—but what humbug don’t do some good?) We have lecturers here too, and parsons, laymen and all classes seem engaged in the work of reform. The teetotallers find it an up-hill work, however, to bring in our old hospitable wine drinkers. They can’t give upthis ancient hospitality, and they are not yet prepared to learn that hospitality and wine are not synonymous terms. The Rev. Mr. Whitman, from Maine, has been here, and made many converts ; and Mr. Carroll, alluded to above, has been ad- dressing the folks with much success. This latter fos eman would take immensely in New York ; his style 1s peculiar, full of animation and feeling, and abounding in that kind of humorous illustration which never tails to set his hearers in a roar; he has made a great, many converts among the fine young fellows of this place, as he is very popular with them. I think the temperance humbug is likely to hold on longer here than with you atthe North. The Southern men are equally warm to take up a notion and to hold on toit. Yourstraly, Bor Perens.

Arrival of Mr. Van Buren at the Fashionable Springs in Kentucky— Great Parade and Display in conse- quence— Mr, Van Buren Tasting of the Bitter Wa- ters. Mr. J. G, Beswerr:— Drar Sin :— The repose of this place, the first settled in Ken- tucky, was this day disturbed by the arrival of the Hon. Martin Van Buren, the respected ex-President of these United States. The civilities extended by the citizens of this place were well received, and no- thing occurred to mar the festivity of this glorious occasion. The day was uncommonly pleasant, be- ing favored by the brilliancy of the sun, the heat of whose rays was agreeably tempered by the breeze, which came in abundance from the North West.— The stage being detained beyond the usual time, rendered the vast concourse of people, of all ages and colors, extremely eager to get a glimpse at the dis- tinguished stranger. But afterall patience had nearly been exhausted, his approach was proclaimed by tl thunderlike reports from the heavy pieces of artille: stationed in the enclosure at the springs, which were discharged at intervals of one minute each. At the moment the first report was heard, thousands of our citizens (some mounted and some not, and many in barouches and vehicles of different dewetetons} proceeded to the suburbs of the town to greet anc the Central Guar whose appearance was martial in the extreme. Their well filled ranks, the neatness of their uniform, and the discipline mani- fested in their beautiful evolutions, also the delight- ful music from their fine and numerous band, con- vinces that no attention is spared by their officers to enable them to cope with any in the country. Mr. Van Buren entered the town in a splendid ba- rouche, drawn by four cream-colored horses—pre- ceded by the town authorities in, carriages, and fol- lowed by the numerous corps of infantry and cay- alry of this and surrounding counties, citizens in ve- hicles, citizens mounted, and citizens on foot, form- ing with the banners and colors an imposing as- After cheering for some time, and allowing sient time for the reviewing of the troops to , the procession proceeded through the prin- streets, and finally to the large hotel, kept by cipal | Mr. B*****, when our guest left the barouche, and stood, head uncovered, on the pavement to receive a hearty welcome from our citizens in an appropri- ate address, prepared for the occasior,, delivered by our townsman Col. 8. D****, to which Mr. V.B. re- plied in his usual apt and courteous manner. This done, Mr. V. and company, together with many ci- tizens, discussed the meriis of a sumptuous dinner, prepared in splendid style, by our host Mr. B****, who spared no trouble to procure the dainties of the season. Dinner over, Mr. Van Buren received the gentlemen and ladies of this place, and concluded the day by a visit to the Springs, the fashionable re- sort in the summer season, accompanied by his tra- velling companion, the Hon. J. K. Paulding, toge- ther with many ladies and gentlemen of this place. To-morrow he leaves for the residence of Hon. Henry Clay. For this occasion, party spirit and ani- mosity were entirely dispensed with, and rarely have I seen such a number of persons who express- ed themselves so well gratified on any public occa- sion.

Financial—Political—Fancy Ball—Burning of the Steamer Massachusetts—Morris Olio—Miss C.— @acred Concert—Deacon Bumsted—Tleatricals, §c. Dear Benner :— In my letter of the 16th I wrote you that the Pres- ident of the Farmers’ and Mechanics’ Bank would resign his office during the present month, and that Horace Goodwin, second, would succeed him. It is now said that the latter will not accept the place, and that E. B. Green, Esq. the able and independent editor of the Review, will be appointed. This gen- tleman has had great experience in financial mat- ters, and would make a capital President, and be- sides, itis bringing the genelemen of the press for- ward, as they should he. Morris’s Olio goes ahead in great style, and takes wonderfully, and next year we will have a well con- ducted Theatre in the land of steady habits, where all the pretty belles and beaux will congregate.— Deacon Bumsted threatens hard, but he need only sit still and mend his breeches—nobody minds him. Just as if people might not dance, or kiss their chil- drenon Sunday, because the Deacon don’t think it right. There isno feeling in Connecticut for Henry Clay—his name is not mentioned even ina single paper. The whigs say they won’t be committed for any body as yet—that a year or two ahead is time enough to start with any body. ‘Ihe flare up of whig clubs in your city seems to be understood per- fectly, and Connecticut can’t be caught in that trap. ‘The loco foco party are enjoying their victory in this State, by acting on the principle recommended by Governor Marcy id success attend them. The fancy ball of next Friday will surpass any- thing of the kind ever got up in America. ‘There exists at this time an opportunity to com municate trom this droll city an occurrence which many a heart will pit-a-pat at, and perhaps some of the opposition party may chuckle It is that of the burning of the steamer Massachusetts, which by some means unknown at present, took fire about 11 o’clock last night, and steamboat fashion, it burnt with the greatest fury, notwithstanding the pouring of torrents of water by the energetic firemen of this pious old eity, who were on the spot at the twinkling of an eye, and dispiayed such courage, skill and labor as would do justice to even the firo- men of your city, who have practice almost night- ly of this kind. i Business matters we consider here to be on the look up ; still there is no great excitement existing except that caused by Morris’s Concert and Olio Company, which are calling together the fashion that refuses to visit all other entertainments except a church or grave yard. Morris has a very peculiar tact in managing a company, and I think equally as mach or more in pleasing an audience. Lust night was set apart by hum for the exclusive admission of ladies, and such gentlemen only rile accompany then The old City Hall was filled at an early hour with as fine an audience as your two peepert ever beheld; and this | am aware was not poms ed by less than some five hundred ladies and nearly as many gentlemen. I take pleasure in seeing this liberality displayed towards Morris, because you willrecollect of the many persecutions towards him during the past fall, by over nice strait laced fews, who our city is every day purging themselves from The concert is given by some dozen persons, and the only travelling company that we are visited by of any size and repute. i As to the verdict of the jury (Superior Court,) which I saw published in the ** Herald’, last winte: that a fine was imposed on Morris, on two indict- ments to wit, for showing Miss Clementine’s knee, and exhibiting a little negro from a sack—such wasthe verdict of the jury, but our most able and much esteemed Judge Williams, after keep- ing the case under consideration some five weeks, dismissed it, and to the joy of seven-eighths of our town who are now giving Morris a strong token of his welcome back. I like to have forgotten to mention that Miss C— is about uniting in nuptials that may not prove so flattering hereafter. % A great ball, (fancy,) is to take place to-night at Mr. Dunham’s Hall; a sacred concert by the Union Music Society, for the benefit of the Washington Temperance Society—-(good, wonder if there could be any thing better?) and Morris’s grand olio—this is all we expect for a rainy night—no Park theatre, no Chatham with Forrest the great, nor any such thing have we here, but sure we have as many churches as will make up for all; and when our blue lights steal from home like Deacon Bumsted, they can see all these capers and their families must not know ofit.

Dear Bennett :— As thi ‘holy week” in Boston, besides many other exciting events, I shall endeavor to give you an inkling of what has transpired. The town is completely thronged with strangers, and every other man you meet hes a white cravat, composing probably two-thirds of the ministers of New England. Some half dozen anniversaries have been held every day, at which reports have been read and addresses made in regard to the progress of religion, sin, temperance, king alcohol, and the devil, all of which have been well attended by the old women and pretty young ones of our city, besides the thousands who only come to town once a year. Mr. Kirk has been the champion of the ‘ Ortho- ox,” and has, I believe, spoken every day. ‘The launch of the frigate Cumberland took place on Tuesday, much to the satisfaction of the thou- sands who witnessed it, and I hope Uncle Sam will not lether goto decay where she now is, under the false idea of economy, when it is too late. _ Wednesday was the annual parade day, and our different military companies made a fine show, and I venture to say there is no city in the Union which can boast of finer uniform companies than our own, although there is very little inducement to join them under, the present law of Massachusetts. Much pride is exhibited in the equipage of some of them, particularly the “Independent Cadets,” which is compose ohana loods,” who make a gorgeous erie a ball room or parade, but do not handle a musket with as much ease as the ‘Washington Phalanx” and some others who possess the “sinews of war” in a different wi ‘ R ‘Thursday was a great day with the “Washingto- nians,” who assembled from all parts of the State on the Common, in the morning, and paraded the streets to the number of three or tour thousand, with banners and music, and in, the evening met at the “Odeon” to hear addresses from the Hon. Tom. Marshall and others, expected. Mr. M. I believe, did not come, as was expected, but the meeting war addressed by a number of speakers, some of which was very good, particularly Mr. Lewis, of Cincin- nati, whose “lips were never closed on anything that intoxicates.” The chairman announced Mr. Alexander Welsh,* of New York, and who should make his appearance, but the renowned “Sandy,” of your city, who gave us his experience in the re- gular, “terrapin” style, much of which was ver amusing, particularly his engagement at the Bowery for one nightonly, which he told with as much hu mor as he ever dia when-under the excitement o/ “twenty-five” a day. | After the performance hr was called out, and invyed them all down t No. — Broadway to take stewed, fried or roast escort him. The military formed a conspicuous part of the escort. Of these, however, (without doing injustice to the others,) I will mention in par- oe ed, which generous invitation he extended to all of us then preseng, and retired amidst thunders of ap. plause. Riv Van Winkue, Washington. [Correspondence of the Herald.) Wasuine'ton, 28th May, 1842. The figures that make up the wondrous tables in Poindexter’s Report, concerning Stationery for the Custom House, are all knocked into pi. Mr. Felt, the sole witness on whose’ alleged testi- mony those tables were made up, has written a let- terto the Speaker, to be laid before the House when the subject comes up, in which he states that he has examined Doc. 669, Poindexter’s Report, and that he never gave the evidence there stated. Mr. Felt says that his testimony was written down by some of the clerks of Mr. Poindexter, but was not submitted to him for examination. Ttis stated that Dwight was the clerk who pro- fessed to write down the testimony of Mr. Felt— that Mr. Felt, as if he suspected foul play, called a second time upon the Commissioner and requested an opportunity to read over and correct his deposi- tion—that Mr. Poindexter told him he should have an opportunity to read over, correct, and sign his deposition, but that the pretended deposition was carried off to Washington, and never signed by Mr. Felt. In the report of Col. Steuart it is distinctly stated, that some rough minutes of the examination of Mr. Felt are among the files, but that the deposi- tion was never completed by the signature of Mr. Felt. Who will get hauled over the coals for this — Dwight or Poins? I will get a copy of Felt’s letter and send itto you. But the bitter spite of Poindexter and Dwight against Mr, Curtis has been gratified. By exparte testimony, taken in secret, and refusing his request to produce testimony in regard to the accounts for stationery and printing, a flagrant charge of extra- vagance and waste has been made against him, and widely circulated ; and now it turns out that pre- tended evidence on which it was founded was ne- ver given by the witness.

The people of that great capital have risen in their strength and put down the shinplasters and aper currency by Lynch law. The scenes of Cincinnati. are enacted over again. The banks in Mobile and all the southwest must now resume. The people of this cash and hard money country, where the “almighty dollar” is properly understood and venerated, will never submit to the depreciated and false carrency issued by banks and financial cliques. The following is a full history of the New Or- Jeans shinplaster emeute from our correspondent. Readandbe wise. Cash and short credits forever! eW ORLEANS, May 20, 4 Great Mob—Destruction of Brokers? Oj Tie be. villet loose amon the Shinplasters—The* Working” Out of the Great Financial Experiment, The nefarious spirit of mobocracy has at, length broken ou_in New Orleans. While I write streets are filled with the military, parading in fall uniform, and an armed posse, or voluntary patrol. Of- ficers on horsebaek are dashing furiously past, in all directions, and the city presents something such an aspect as at the time Old Hickory put it under martial law. You will see all sorts of statements, doubtless, in the papers, from which it will be mo- rally impossible to get at any thing like the truth. I will endeavor, therefore, to give you the facts in the case, with all proper perspicuity. During the suspension and breaking up of the New Orleans banks, and while the strong ones wouldn’t issue their notes, and the weak ones couldn't, the small eirculation of this city has been almost entirely composed of shinplasters, issued by the different municipalities, and of dimes and half dimes, w! passed at a premium of twenty-five per cent, or eight dimes to the dollar. Upon the resumption of specie abit (which did not go fully into effect until Wednesday morning), the dimes and half dimes assumed their proper value, and the munici- pality shinplasters, ag a matter of course, depre- ciated. Those of the first and second mmunicipali- ties, from 15 to 25 per cent., (which, considering that they had never been worth but ‘eight dimes, was in fact no depreciation at all), while the bills of the third municipality ranged from 50 cents to nothing on the dollar, “according as you could light on chaps.” The first and second municipalities, al- though considerably in debt, will undoubtedly’ re- deem every dollar of their issues; but, as to the third, it is a very doubtful case. The brokers, how- ever, thinking it an excellent chance for an “‘opera- tion,” classed the bills of all the municipalities to- gether, stuck up notices of ‘‘no shinplasters pur- chased here 3” and by these and divers other un- godly tricks, which would have done honor to Wall street, succeeded in throwing discredit upon all mu- nicipality notes, so that they could buy up those of the first and second at 45.and 50 cents—thus making an immense profit at very little risk, as nobody se- tiously believes that the notes of these municipali- ties will not eventually be redeemed. This being the state of things, the fruiterers, ha- berdashers and small dealers in general, itinerant and stationary,—a motley and indescribable crew of French, Spanish, Italian, Portuguese, Germans and Jews of all nations, to the number of three- or four thousand, started this morning for the Mayor’s office where they called out bis Honor and demanded the redemption of *‘ les billets des municipalites.” His Honor, who did nothappen to have the change “‘past him,” declined this opportunity of showing his put- lie spirit, but told the mob that the story of the de- preciation of their notes wasa falsehood, and that they would all be redeemed in a few days. The crowd, upon this, left the Mayer’s office ; and being inatigated by the devil, who sometimes delighteth to witness the destruction of his own_ works, proceed- ed in a body up Chartres street to Canal, yelling like ten thousand wild Indians. On the corner of Canal and Camp, (the latter being a continuation of Char- tres) the mob commenced t:e work of destruction by completely gutting the exchange office of Messis. Valentine and Williams, and carrying off all the money it contained, gold, silver. and paper, (even sainplasters,) while the ery flew from rank to rank of the rioters, “aux armes! aux armes!? The citi- zens immediately ran to the Town Hall, where a magazine of arms and ammunition is constantly kept, and returning in a body, charged upon the rioters, who fled with the utmost precipitatien. By this time, the offices of Valentine and Williams, Ra- phael, Nance and Barker, four broker’s offices ‘all in a row,” were completely and literally gutted No- body was peony wounded in this most extraordi- nary emeute, and the civil authorities, aided by the citizens, succeeded in capturing some ten or twelve of the ringleaders, who are to have their examina- tion to-morrow morning, and who undoubtedly will be committed for trial. Ishall send you the result by Sunday’s mail. i Ach The resumption goes on swimmingly. Cotton has improved 3 cent per pound. CK. ___ Sarurbay Morwve, May 2t. The Council of the ‘ond Municipality have met and dine vd a resolution funding the shin- plasters and issuing certificates bearing 6 per cent. interest. The first Municipality have authorised the negotiation of a loan of 000. ‘The amount of shinplasers in circulation is as follows :—Firat ee $200,000; second, $345,000 ; third, The butchers in some of the markets refuse to furnish their stalls with beef, until the shinplasters are redeemed, and we therefore have made light breakfasts.

Monroe Edwards—Conspiracy Case—Complimentary Concert—Theatres—Stocks—.4rrest of a Captain, $c. ‘The several Religious Conventions recently sitting in this city have adjourned, and the races at Camden are over, which several circumstances leave our city unusual- ly dull. Having nothing particularly exciting ofour own on hand, some attention and anxiety is directed to your city to learn what you are doing with, and how you mean to dispose of, the military financier, Col. Munroe Edwards. His trial, we learn, is to take place next week, and if his bearing is of that cool and collected character that it was here during hie preliminary examination, Wall street modesty will be driven into the shade— for if guilty of the accusotions brought against him a more impudent gentleman does not figure in your finan- cial circles, and if “spear Ro speculator ever occu pied a more unp! t corner.” A special agent from the Court about to try the Colonel yesterday examined that other trunk, which has been in the possession of the Bank of North America since his arrest, when, amon; other things, it was found to contain $60,000 in gol ant Treasury notes! What honest speculation of the Colo- nel’s will explain the source of this large amount of money ? An exciting trial of conspi and riot is in pro; at Chester, a few miles below this city, which Tor got half the county of Delaware b; eors. I men- tioned the case a few days since. It is one of those quarrels between factory employers and the ope- ratives growing out of a difference as to prices—not how- ever, I believe, so much in regard to the amount them as the kind in which it is paid. The workmen strenuously jist the old —— paid i re goods, at two or three ‘rom this comes the accusation of conspiracy—one of the bold- est pleas for punishing the poor laborer that was ever countenanced by legal enactment. It is a net that never caiches big fish. It was tried in reference to the United States Bank conspirators, but they slipped through as easy as a minnow would pass between the meshes of a shad net. Another week will be requisite to dispose of the case. Some very extended preparations re Soing forward for & complimentary concert to Mrs. Watson. Several of the most able and distinguished vocal and instrumental per- formers have already volunteered ; among them Signor de Begnis, one of the most deservedly popular singers that ever appears on our boards, the Rainer family, Schubert, Hupbeld, and Mrs. W. herself, who isone of the sweetest iad singers in the country. ‘Thursda night js an- nounced for the concert, at the Musical Fund: A’ rare treat and a crowded house may be anticipated, The officers and crew of the sloop of war Marion atten- ded the Walnut street Theatre last night, by invitation, and drew a crowded house.

This we consider an extraordinary periormance for a female. If American women would follow the example set them by this “smart” and active young lady, we should soon cease to hear of their physical debility and sallow complexions. As to the “ three short stops,” they remind us of an anecdote related in Sterne’s Sentimental Journey, of Madame de Ram- bouillet, who, on an excursion out of Paris, bid her companion to stop the carriage.
