State of the Country, Certainly not within the last twenty years has the country been in so singular a situation as it is at the present moment; and brought into that state solely by the shameful conduct of a few rabid and wretch ed politicians Ever since the sad revulsions, caused by specula- tions of the wildest kind, entered into by politicians for the basest of purposes, we have been gradually recovering our energies, our strength, and our By this time, with proper management, and an honest Congress, we might honesty as a people. have been completely out of debt as a nation,met the majority of our state obligations, have completely revived all kinds of trade, have been prosperous and happy, and there would have been no more com- platning heard in our streets. We have had a succession of good crops, fine weather, and gloriousharvests, year after year; we have had thousands upon thousands of industrious Irish, German, English, and other emigrants land- ing on our shores, penetrating to the far West, bringing with them money, and agricultural imple- ments in abundance, and what is better than all, health, honesty, industry, knowledge, and strength, to assist in developing the resources of this great nation. Yet, with all these blessings so bountifully show- ered down upon us by Divine Providence, trade is prostrated, industry is palsied, and distress stares thousands of honest hard-working men the And why? Because a few miserable rabid politicians, are so intent on crushing the present President, and making another to supplant him, that they turn a deaf ear to the real wants of the country. And this will continue to be our affliction until Congress adjourns about the mid- dle of next August. in face. In the mean time, we have no settled Revenue ‘Law, and all our duties of 20 per cent on the home valuation are paid under protest. The President is anxious and willing to signasimple Tariff Bill, which shall impose duties merely adequate to the wants of the Government, and which shall involve no syuandering of the proceeds of the public lands. He has vetoed one tariff bill on that account, and the one now before Congress, which will pass about the 10th of August, he will veto for the self same reason. Congress will then break up in a row; a great change will take place in the cabinet, and all will go on quietly until the next congressional election, when the Whigs will find themselves in a miserable minority. Inthe meantime, all eyes are turned towards an amicable settlement of our difficulties with Eng- land ; particularly that of the Maine Boundary ques tion, We gave on Wednesday last an exact state of the negotiations on that head, derived from official sources, together with a map of the territory expla- The same will be republished in the Weekly Herald thisday at 2P.

In consequence of this the government of the latter had been under the necessity of taking every possible measure for the detence of the country, threatened by invasion from an enemy who respect nothing, and has there- fore ordered that all the Republic shallbe in Asam- blea, and under arms, and that all from the ages of 140 50 years, shall join in the defence. Lopez has been totally deteated by a single di- vision of the confederate army, and ( jeneral Oribe, with the main body, has actually commenced the passage of the Parana. La Bayada continues in the quiet possession of the re-established authorities, and Col. Velasquez has latterly routed, on the trontier of Corrientes, a di. vision under the command of Nunez, capturing a large quantity of horses, which have been forwarded to General Oribe for the purpose of mounting his cavalry. Paz remains on the banks of the Uruguay, secu- ring to himself a safe retreat to the Oriental side. ‘The U. 8. schooner Enterprise, Lieut. Wilson, arrived at Buenos Ayres on the I7th of May. U.S. corvette Decatur, Capt. Ogden, sailed from Montevideo on the 12th inst. for Rio Janeiro It is said that Capt.

Texas is prosperousand flourishing—at peace with ll the world, except Mexico; and likely to remain o for some time to come. Her crops are good, her rovernment improving, the tide of emigration there vetting in fast, her people hardy, active, enterprising ind industrious, the cause of religion and its co- worker, temperance, prospering there, and every hing augurs a future full of happiness for the young repul With Mexico the very reverse is the case. Dark, gloomy, and inscrutable are her prospects. Torn to pieces by internal factions—harrassed by the navy of Texas—crippled by the secession of Yucatan—a ruler little better thana despot, and wholly a knave, nothing short of subjugation, sooner or later, is left for this ill-fated, miserably governed, yet beautiful portion of God’s globe. Mexico is deeply in debt to us, and owes us many redresses for grievous wrongs—in consequence of which she has lately put on a great many airs, and affects to demand atonement for injuries done by us to her. But if she does not, as the Kentuckian says, “toe the mark” very soon, she will find to her sor- tow that “ the boot is on the other leg.” Canada, From this part of the world we have had nothing particularly new or interesting, since the sailing of the last packet. The Governor General and his family are in fine health, and he appears to be getting along with the affairs of the province as well as any of his illustrious predecessors. All parties in Canada are exceedingly anxious for an immediate and permanent settlement of the Boundary question ; even if England has to give up a portion of the Territory claimed by her. When the rumor reached Canada that a definitive treaty had been agreed upon between the two Govern- ments, the greatest possible rejoicing took place.— The officers of the 91st, 92d, and the Welsh Fusileers treated their friends most liberally to champaigne, in the hopes that they would be immediately ordered home to England, whence they expected to be sent to India. We have news of the war movements of the pa- triots, and stealing of cannon and powder along the border, but nothing very serious. The following are all the additional particulars we have been able to glean from the Montreal papers in relation to the late steamboat accident on the St. Lawrence. We ha ttle to add to our yesterday’s account of the sad disaster on the lake above Lachine. The coroner em- panneled a jury yesterday forenoon, when a full investi. gation of every matter connected with the accident took place. The result was that a verdict was returued of “ cidental death,” and no blame was attached to the prop! tors or crew of the unfortunate vessel. We subjoin the portion of the evidence which was material. Several pas- sengers were examined, but nothing was elicited from them beyond the fact of the sobriety of the captain and crew. Mr. Henry Roebuck of Coteau du Lac, who has an intimate experience in Lake navigation, bore testimony to the soundness of the Shamrock, and the good working of her engine, sar as an unprofessional person like him. bac heeopeu ty he Thomas Halkmann, captain of the steamer Shamrock. being duly sworn, saith—I have been captain ofthe Sham: rock since the 9th of June. She left Lachine between six and seven o’clock on Saturday morning last,with three barges in tow, one of which was laden and the other tw were empty. ‘The wind blew freshly. Two of the bar- gex were alongside of the steamer and the third b ‘e were in the habit of having more barges in tow than three, and we have had as many as six. The crew con- sisted of myself, four sailors, two engineers, two firemen, and two pilots.’ There was no more than the usual quan: tity of steam on the engine, which is estimated by two weights which rise when the steam escapes. I had not left the deck until within ten or fifteen minutes before the accident took place, when I went to the cabin. I saw the boiler tried about fifteen minutes before the 1ecident occurred. The first intimation | had of it was the breaking of the elec window, and the rushing in of the water. I rushed on deck, and saw the barge with the ——_ full of water, and I then assisted so far as I could, in saving the passengers. The Shamrock was a new boat built in Upper Canada, and the engine w good order to the bestof my pelief. The boi leaked little when the steam was off, but not to any extent. The engine was new, and I never heard that it wascon- lemned. It w: lt at Niagara, and the leaking of the boiler in no way affected afety. I am of opinion that the bursting of the boiler was the cause of the accident. The engine was on the high pressure principle, and was of thirty-two horse power. ‘The first engineer was on the watch at the time the accident occurred. He is a sober man, and I have never seen him intoxicated, but nave fouud him very attentive and carcful abyut his bust: aess. Tcertainly cannot attach the imputation of negli- gence to any person on board. I cannot account for the bursting of ‘the boiler. 1 saved only my vest, shirt and trousers, which I happened to have on, and could not pre serve even my shoes and stockings. "The engineer was always at his post to obey the bells. Thomas B, Benedict, the emgincer, gave a similar testi- He had a young man under him, who he was in- eer, but he never entrusted him to any e working of the engine. Onthe first trip which the boat made, he perceived a defect in the guide of the safety valve lever, which he remedied.

When the explo- sion took place he turned rouud and saw smoke and fra; ments of the vessel, which began to settle at the bow whereupon he rushed to the promenade deck.

Fashionable Movements, Lord Morpeth has reached Montreal after a very extensive tour through the Union. He hasbeen de ighted with his adventures, Lord Ashburton enjoys himself at Washington, giving magnificent dinners, and faring sumptuously every day He is calmly awaiting the answers to despatches sent by the last steamer. In the mean time the Maine men fight shy of him. James Gordon Bennett, Esq., lady and child, were it Quebec on the 7th inst., intending to make the tour of the entire province before their return. Mr. Van Buren when last heard from was at Chi- cago, nto which he made a sort of semi-triumphal entry. Lord John Hay is rusticating on shore, giving and receiving visits, and filling up his leisure time by building a life boat at Francis’ factory. Heis a great favorite; so are the officers of the Warspite. ‘Theatricals in the United States, “Nothing stirring but stagnation in this country, about these days, in the theatrical world; and no- thing likely to stir therein, of importance, for many months to come. The Park, the Chesnut, the Tremont, and the St ‘harles—the four principal theatres in the Union— te all closed—(the latter, however, is burnt down) ~and are not likely to do any thing, of any kind, ill the fall campaign. ‘The “divine” Fanny Elssler has danced her last mongst us for some time to come, atleast. She ras realised $100,000 in two. years, and invested the hole in American stocks. She has delighted and nraptured every body that has seen her. All re- ret that she is leaving us—all desire that she may wedily return; and she bears with her the best ishes of all who know her, that her future career, ther in this or other lands, may be as perfectly wught with unalloyed happiness as it is possible vat the lot of any mortal in this life can be. Since xe close of her last truly brilliant engagement at ve Park, she has been spending a few days with a tele of wealthy friends in Philadelphia, and set. ing her various business matters. She leaves us rt “merrie England’ to-morrow, by the steam packet, and in parting from her, we can only say, in the language of the gifted Praed— The joy and the dance are all over— Good bye to thee, Fanny, good bye! Mrs. Fitzwilliam and Buekstone have just closed in indifferent engagement at the Park, and with them the theatre itself has clesed. At her benefit, Mrs. F. being loudly called for,delivered the follow- ing naive speech :— Lapies axp Gewriemen—I do not bid you farewell this evening, for Ihave two nights more to give my very humble services—one, to-morrow evening, for @ very worthy individual, and from whom, in better times, { have received the bounties bestowed on me by a New York public—Mr. Blake, the freasurer, the other, my compagnon du voyage, Mr. Buckstone, and to whom I am indebted for my most successful dramatic pieces. Iam, however, happy to thank you for net only past, but pre: sent kindness; and though my engagement now will in- ally be not very lucrative, still [have the gratifi- cation of knowing, before I receive any emolument, that the nightly expenses are paid—a rarity nowadays. It is my most earnest hope there is still dramatic taste and pride enough in this city to support the Park Theatre. Ishould besorry on my return home to be asked, and say it was not near is old and proper position, not only of being the most successful, but most legitimate theatre in the Union—it ought to be; for my experience tells me you are in possession of not only respectable, but the first- rate native nd most worthy, indefatigable, and amidst all his trials an? . ~verses, @ very philosoph: manager.

Health and happiness to every individu, not only in this city, but in every other throughout the Union, for its kindness and patronage to me. (Loudcheers.) Braham and his son, when last heard from, were giving concerts at Louisville with unparalleled suc- cess; they draw crowded houses wherever they go, and delight all who hear them. The same may be said of Mrs. Sutton and Signor Nagel. After a very brilliant tour in the south and west, they are now in Canada preparing to delight our Colonial brethren. In Canada, at Montreal, Latham has had the the- atre, and with Jim Crow Rice and others, has been drawing crowded houses. He is about to take the Quebec theatre. Miss Melton is in Montreal. Forrest has been, and still is, we believe, out west. He has drawn crowded houses at Cincinnati and Louisville. In the south there is nothing doing in theatricals. Out west, Dinneford is doing all that can be done in that way. In Boston, Stephen, Sylvain and his troupe have done a pretty good business. Buckstone and Mrs. Fitzwilliam are going to Ha- lifax to play afew nights. Abbot, Browne, Billy Williams, Placide, and brother Tom, and several other excellent actors,are all in this city doing nothing. They will be all en- gaged at the Park on its re-opening. The Chatham and Niblo’s are doing a great busi- ness. At the former Scott, and at the latter Chip- pendale and Miss Ayres are the favorites. The Olympic is closed for the season. Corbyn is at Striker’s and Mitchell at Oyster Bay, “sticking out,” to use their own graphic phraseology. So ends the chapter. Our Last Paracrarn on Fansy Exssier.— Mdlle. Fanny arrived in town last evening, and leaves us this afternnon in the Boston boat. To- morrow she embarks inthe Caledonia, and her ma- gic foot will press for the last time the hospitable soi that has yielded her so prodigally. During her late stay in Philadelphia, we hear she has done very kind things—giving away considerable sums of money— sat to another American artist for her portrait that she intends for exhibition in the Louvre—and lastly, has provided munificently for her faithful coach- man, the well known aud popular Charles, who has taken so decided a liking to the United States, that he has given up home, kindred, and country, rather than quit it. Mdlle. Fanny learning this, she propo sed to establish him in business, and Charles is now sole master and owner of a flourishing stable and riding-school in Philadelphia, where his knowledge of horse flesh will serve him well, whilst his many pleasing qualities will gain him friends and a speedy fortune. Mile. Fanny’sdeparture is an event, and we would like to sav more about it, but in truth our pea loses its nimbleness with the loss of this favorite subject ; «thousand pleasing recollections of her come back upon us now that we dwell for the last time on a heme so agreeable, and ever attractive to our readers, and we grow heavy and sad at parting with thee, Fanny. We commit you to your destinies, id may the same Providence that has hitherto sus- tained you, contiaue to smile brightly and benignly o’er your dangerous path. We subjoin some curious statistics of the Elssler career in this country,that have been carefully com- piled from accurate data,and may be considered xuthentic. She has danced in the United States and Havana 199 times—21 of them gratuitously, for the benefit of various institutions and individuals. She ‘as realised near $140,000, of which she has ex- pended near $40,000, and given away to individuals andisocieties in the U. States alone above five thou- sand dollars. She has lost from the defalcation of nanagers but the trifling sum of three thousand dol- «rs, which gives loud contradiction to the infamous \spersions afloat in Europe upon American manage- rial honesty—she has gained the most in Havana, New Orleans, and New York, where she has work- ‘d the most ; and not the least curious is, that she quired nearly the whole of her splendid for- tune with three ballets only; that, too, in the worst ‘f times—neither we must not forget her speeches, hathave produced so much effect abroad—she has nade fifty-two of her pithy harangues in four differ- snt languages—English, French, Spanish, and Ger- man, twenty-two ef them in New York alone. We have other items that will probably appear on some other occasion. For the present we will say no more ther than to ask a last glance of Fanny this after- yoon as the boat.hauls out; she will see us on the top f the highest post on the wharf, if we are not push- d off. ArnivaL or a Frencu Fricatr.—Yesterday a *vench war steamer arrived and anchored off the Sattery. Her name isthe Gomer, after a town in \ustria. She sailed from Cherbourg, in France, on he 18th ult., touching at Fayal, whence she sailed oa the 3d inst. Her commander's name is Lau- ier. As usual salutes were fired. This steamer isa fine looking vessel, nearly as large as the President, measuring two thousand tons ‘urthen. Her power is equal to four hundred and fifty horses, and she is said to be a fast sailer. She is barque rigged and rather heavily sparred. Only ten guns are at present mounted, but she is frigate riereed. About half her complement of crew are on board, namely, two hundred and forty-five men. There are eight commissioners on board, whose business here is best known to themselves. It may be connected with the Right ot Search, and may not, and it may be connected with the establishment fatine of steam-ships. Who knows? Time, iowever, will tell, if the French officer will not. Our harbor now presents a fine sight. It looks leeidedly warlike. There are at anchor off Castle Carden, the line-of-battle ship North Carolina, the frigate Columbia, H. B. M. frigate Warspite, and the French warsteamer Gomer. In a day or two, the Brandywine will join the fleet Nimio’s.—The Magic Pills, by universal desire, is repeated to-night, with ‘The Milliners.” The atter piece was received with roars of laughter on tabriel’s benefit.

The Senate went early into Executive Session.— ‘There is a vast arrear of executive business to be brought up; but no results of much importance have anspired beyond some one or two rejections— among them, Lam told, 1s that of Cary Robinson, nominated for some place in Louisiana, and George Clinton, of New York, nominated as Collector of Buffalo. The second branch of the resolution yesterday offered by John Quincy Adams, was called up by him for consideration, viz : the branch relating to a call for copies of all special communications and action, touching the difficulues between Texas and Mexico; and Mr. Pickens suggested its withdrawal; but Mr. Adams insisted ou the impertance of the information. Whereupon Mr. Cushing moved for the Committee on the Whole, to take up the Tarifi Bill; and although that motion had precedence, Mr Adams received the eseomion with a very ill grace, but was under the necessity of yielding to it; 30— The consideration of the items of the Tariff Bill was resumed in Committee. By the way, the short term allotted yesterday for speaking on each amendment, seems irksome tc members who require sea room, and have no taste for condensation. So Mr. Morgan has given notice that he intends to move that the arrangement shall be reconsidered. An increase of the duty (4th clause) on Saxony and Aubresson carpets, from 65 to 75 cents per square yard, was proposed by Mr. Cushing, but re- jected. A reduetion of the duty to 50 cents, propo- sed by Mr. Smith, of Virginia, was also rejected. , Fillmore’s motion to amend the 5th clause by striking out the 25 cents’ duty on certain wool- len blankets and inserting 30 cents, was agreed to; and also his motion to raise the duty on woollen and worsted hosiery, and wollen and worsted yarn,from 25 to 80 per cent. There were slight amendments to various other items of the bill, but the House istoo thin to war- rant any inference from the vote on such amend- ments, as to their adoptioa by the House. Baltimore.

Mr. Evrron:— Thi ‘bout the commencement of our dull season, and all things considered, it is dullenough, but not so bal as some croaking sheets published here would make the poople believe. It is impolitic and counter to our best interests to make a public bugbear out of a molehill, or even amountain. If a man were starving, to be constantly telling him of it, would be productive of very little good. ‘The fact is, there are some individuals in the world con- stiutionally formed for grumbling, and unless they are given an opportunity occasionally to spell out an effer- vescence, their stomachs would sour, and they would lan- guish into forgetfulness or obscurity.

Theatres—Theatricals— Chit Chat on Amusements— Legislature, §c. ; Dear ETT Considering the extremely warm weather, our two the- atres, the Walnut and Arch, are doing uncommonly well. Last night Mrs. Sefton took a benefit at the Arch in that sterling comedy the School for Scandal. ‘The piece was strongly cast and well sustained throughout, though B:r- ton was evidently laboring under indisposition. The be- neficiare is the best Lady Teazlethat we have witnessed in agreat while. Connor made an excellent Charles,and Wood’s Joseph is proverbially the character the author intended to sketch. Of all the Joseph Surfaces that 1 knew, his only rival is him of the National Intelligencer. Richings played Sir Benjamin Backbite as he plays eve ry thing—well. The acting of the Arch is now decided !y good, the principal performers being all men of repu- tation in their profession. The house, too, is clean, cool, and comfortable. On Saturday night, Connor will briag out, for his bene- fit, Sheridan Knowles’ new play, the “ Rose of Arragon,” said to be one of the most interesting of modern dramas. The piece was strongly cast. The principal female character was offered, I understand, to Mrs. Sefton, but the part being heavy, the weather warm, and she withal undera partial engagement in New York, she declined it, and it was assigned to Miss Fisher, in whose hands I hi ao doubt the most will be made of it. Mrs. 8. will also appear in the piece, and altogether I have nodoubt of a erowded and fashionable heuse. I have learned that it was somewhat doubtful whether Mrs. Sefton would at the present appear at the Bowery, as Iintimated aday or two since. She cannot well be spured from Philadelphia. ‘The beastly performances at the Walnut street house are over, and heartily glad am I of it. Such a perversion of he legitimate” ought not to be tolerated, especially at sonof the year.

A laborer in this vicinity fell down yesterday in the field in which he was at work from excessive heat, and soon after expired. Acanal boat in front of the city loaded with iron was yesterday sunk in consequence of coming in collision with a schooner, The men on board were taken off, and two horses saved themselves by swimming to the shore. ‘Yesterday morn out two o'clock, a farmer from Bucks county, named Robinson, while on his way to mar- ket in thi Y tacked by twe men, near the Three MileRun.

Taylor, and Miss Emily ireenwood, a Quaker lady of Halstead in Essex.— Chey both arrived in this city in the packet ship vew York, last week, and put up at the Astor louse. Miss Emily Greenwood is aged 20, and is the ‘aughter of Mrs. Greenwood, a respectable widow ady, residing at Halstead in Essex, about sixteen niles from London. Dr. John Cornelius Taylor vas an intimate friend and the medical attendant fithe family,(aged 38)—has abandoned a wife and ree childrea—disposed of his practice—turned his flects into money, and come off with about £3000 nhis pocket. Miss Emily Greenwood and her sis- ‘ry Eliza were on a visit at a friend’s in the City of -ondon, and on their being absent one day making .callin town, the Doctor by some stratagem caused them to be separated, and when the period arrived for their leaving London to retum home to their mother in Essex, the Doctor escorted the sister Eli- za tothe coach, and when enquiry was made by her respecting Emily, the seducer’s reply was, that she would not return home any more, as she was under his protection. The seducer and his victim then went down to Bristol, but not finding any conveyance to New York, they returned to London and went to Liverpool, where they secured their passage by the packet ship New York, Captain Cropper, which arrived here last Thursday. They passed as man and wife,were reported as such on their arrival, and ilso on the books of the Astor House. At Liverpool, the brother of Miss Greenwood, who had been sent down by the family, saw the Doctor and his sister, and on remonstrating with the parties, the Doctor told him that if any noise was made about it, “loss of life should {be the conse- quence.” py The family in England, through the agency of the British Consul here, wish Miss Greenwood to quit her seducer and return to them. The Doctor has been arrested,and is now out on bail. The case was heard by Judge Kent in Chambers, yesterday morn- ing, and the matter so rests for a few days longer; he is to determine to-day whether he will reduce the amount of bailornot. When the Doctor was urested the other day, the young Quakeress went with him to the lock-up house in Eldridge street ; since then, they have gone into private lodgings.

Prices have generally fallen, particularly Farmers’ Loan } ; Indiana 5's} ; American Exchange Bank } ; Kentucky 6's 2 per cent ; Harlem Railroad improved 2} from the sales of yesterday morning. After the Board a singular proclamation appeared on the black board at the Mer- chants’ Exchange, purporting to come from James Watt, ¥sq., who has purchasei so largely lately of the stock. The announcement stated that the signer was ready to sell the stock at 60—20 down, and 30 at the end of 30 days, on condition that if the stock at that time was worth less than 50, even 49}, he would forfeit the stock. This was reported as an evidence of insanity, but created a groat flut- tering among the “bears.” Subsequently Mr. Watt pur- chased 1000 shares at 30, buyer 30 days, an advance of 60 lays. This caused great excitement. The probability is, shat if “the boys” hold out long enough, Mr. Watt’s mad” ness will extract all the stock from the street, free of cost o himself. At the election of directors Mr. Governeur Mortis was ‘lected one of the directors of the Harlem Rail Road by the second ballot, the firstone being destroyed by Mr. Watt.
