And indeed, it would be vassing strange if in this latter day of light and in- teliectual progress, such a vitally important science as that which has for its objects the preservation of health, and the removal of disease, were not culti- vated with a zeal and success in keeping with the inquiring and reforming spirit of the age. It is eu rious te mark the developments every where so ap- parent of this self-same revolutionary, sezrching, turning-upside-down, restless, daring spirit of the nineteenth century. In whatever field we trace its operations, we see lt working with the same ma- chinery, producing the same results, effecting the same remarkable changes, battering down the rag- ged battlements of prejudice and ancient error, ma- ‘sing the way straight for new and better orders of things. Thus in the religious world, we every dé see new sects starting into active, proselytizing life, old sects torn up by intestine quarrels—universally, the war of opinion, and all tor the better. Itisa dark day for the truth, when religious societies are sunk in that lethargic stillness which resembles the yeace of the church-yard—when there is peace be- cause there isno moral, no intellectual vitality,— when there ispeace, because every eye is dim and every arm nerveless, because force wars not with force, nor man with inan, but the only sense of life leit is that of the crawling worm that feeds and bat tens there! And so all these religious and social gitators—Joe Smiths, Kirks, Maffits, Bishops, Brisbanes, and Squashites, are tokens of good, and ll,in their own way,are bringing nearer the advent ofa better day. The political agitators, from the most respectable turncoat mountebank, to the veriest loafer amongst them, are also serviceable rogues ; and in the dirty field of party politics, perform a part analogous to that of the skilful agricultarist when diligently turning over the various composts of which he manufactures manures to enrich his cornfields People may well dread the heel of despotism when there are no violent political agitators amongst them. The scientific world is also agitated, and great good is already apparent. In the practice of the healing art, especially, the beneficial results of a free interchange of opinion, and the plentiful use of arguments of all sorts, are evident. The great medical revolution commenced in the city of New York—the source of all the great so cial movements in this country—and all eyes are now turned hitherward in anxious observation of the doings of the learned members of the profes- sion, And certainly there is abundant scope forcu- rious investigation here with respect to the progress and prospects of the science. There are in New York upwards of one thousand physicians, and about five hundred quacks. Out of this large body there are perhaps sixty practitioners who have accumula- ted handsome fortunes—about one hundred and fifty are doing a good business—and the rest live—as they can. The mischief is that not one tenth of the doc- tors get paid—there are two classes of men that peo: ple always try to cheat, and they are the parsens and the doctors. Well, the doings of such a large body of medical men—their ingenious schemes to get practice—their pleasant quarrels—their new disco veries—their blunders—their brilliant achievements —their numerous and varied and valuable contribu- tions to medicine and surgery—all these present much food for the philosopher and the student of human progress. One of the most prominentand interesting features of this medical revolution, is the great attention given to the science ef pharmacy, or the “art and in naval and commercial affairs. England creates | mystery of the apothecary.” This is undoubtedly a ileet of fifty or sixty steamers, to be used in time of peace, as packets and merchant vessels, trading to every Unportant port in this hemisphere. France startles into arenewed life at such a movement, and already we hear of the erection of eighty steamers, besides the first being seatto this port ona mission of the utmost importance to the future interests of the two nations. ‘These events lead the mind to vations conclusions. in the time of peace, the French wil! be the ear- nest, devoted, ardent, energetic rivals of the British the most important branch of medicine, and has heretofore been too much neglected. The physi- cians have fought too much about abstract principles and modes of practice, and left the study and prepa- ration of the articles of the Materia Medica to mere druggists—dealers in blue pill and tartar emetic. But the leading medical men here are now awaking to a sense of the error of this conduct. The esta- blishment of the Stuyvesant Institute “Scnoot or Puarmacy,” in connexion with the University of New York, and under the superintendence of Dr for the trade and commerce of the United States— | Mort, Dr. Partison and Dr. A. B. Sanps & Co., in time of war, if ever that unhappy condition of hu van life should again take place in the civilized world, we may prepare for one of the most magnifi y, and destructive scourges that eve nsoned any sea. n the meantime, while peace lasts, these rival movements of France and England tend to produce ts favorable to the trade and e of this country. Better times are in store We shall watch and report the progress of each of these missions. onding effe ANIZATION OF A New Party.—Tne Pa- lovion.—We understand that a large as- sation of independent and intelligent voters, for- merly belonging to the rank and file of the whig and loc © parties, intend to effect a new political or- ganization, comprehending every ward of the city, »oking forward to the next election, and per- » beyond thatevent. This new party will as inet practical democratic ground—opposeé to the conduct of both ultra factions during the pre- sent session of Congress, and will give a moderate nalided support to Joha Tyler when John Ty ler is right and patriotic. sanizationwill probably call themselves PatriotDemocrats,” and one of their ‘objects will be to take care of the interests of the working classes, in opposition to the Wall street influences and speculators.

We like to see men of the standing of Dr. Morr thus directing their ta lents and energies to the advancement of pharma- ceutical science, andjteaching their students the best mode of preparing epsom salts and ticture of squill:, and instructing them how to “transport with safety to any part of the world and in its native clay that useful little animal—the Hirudo Medicinalis, vulgo the leech. There can be no doubt that we will hereafter be purged, leeched and _blistered with greater ease and safety, and that Drs. Mott, Pattison and Sands, will reap both honor and profit in their new field of operation. ‘Then again, the Nassau street College of Pharmacy is in full and successful operation—carrying on a crusade against all sorts of medical imposition, by reducing the ex. orbitant fees of physicians, really benefiting both the public and the profession, saving the forme) from charlatanry, and rendering the business of thr latter safer and eventually more extensive. We trust that both of these new establishments will go on and prosper. At all events, all who take medi cine from the hands of irresponsible and uneducated men are now without excuse, when such distin guished physicians as Dr. Mott, Dr. Pattison, Dr. Paine, (Professor of Materia Medica) and the mem bers of the Nassau street College of Pharmacy have undertaken the important duty of reforming the science of pharmacy and providing for all classes of human maladies, the appropriate remedy. More Fux.—Judge Noah has resigned his seat on the bench of Sessions. Ho! ho! ho!ha!tha! ha! He was never fit to be a judge, and he has at last exhibited somejregard for the ermine. Before the Judge left his seat, he tried to have Mr. Whiting re- moved, but failing in that, the Judge removed him- self—so a removal of some kind has been effected atallevents. A history of Judge Noah’s judicial career—his eminent decisions—his charges to juries —his side opinions—his illustrations of pork law, would be one of the most amusing books since the publication of Cervante’s Don Quixote. We trust the good Judge will set about it, and turn a penny at least—if not his coat. ImreacnMeEnt of Tar Mayor.—It will be seen, by reference to our report of the Board of Assistant Al dermen, that this great “* whig measure” has ended in smoke.

Proceedings of Congress—Prospect of Ad- journment, | ‘The Senate is slowly and deliberately proceeding | inthe Tariff discussion.

The rou- | tine business this day was of very little importance. There was a small flurry on a joint resolution in- troduced by Mr. Preston, purposing to do away in- directly with some of the effects of the distribution law, but nothing came of it. The debate on the ta- riff bids fair to run through another week at least. Inthe House the Navy appropriation bill, as it came from the Senate, was taken up, and the propo- sition fora committee of conference agreed to. The committee appointed consisted of Messrs. Wise, W B. Campbell, and McKay—on the part of the Se- nate, Messrs. Evans, Bayard, and King. The bill may be expected to become alaw in the course of | the present week. } On motion to suspend the rules of the House to offera resolution that Congress will adjourn en the 15th of August, the vote stood 80 to 81. Monday next is resolution day, and it is not unlikely that such a resolution may be adopted. Indeed, so jaded are the members with the exhausting heat of the season, that an early adjournment may be antiei- pated. The Intelligencer suggests the 15th of September as the probable period for the termination of the session, but although usually well informed as to the purposes of the majority, the editors must be mistaken on this point. The House is now engaged upon the’ contingent appropriation bill, which is to occupy the day. Important to Mercnants.—It is necessary to state that the letter bags of the Acadia will close in this city, at the Post Office, Harnden’s, Adams & , and at Gilpin’s, this afternoon, at half past 4 o'clock. At Harnden’s fifteen minutes later. The Acadia will leave Boston to morrow. An American in Eoyrt.—Under this title, Mr. James E. Cooley has writtena very agreeable and delightful account of his recent travelgin the East. We have possession of an early copy of the work, and find it one of the most amusing books we have readin a long time. Mr. Cooley is a shrewd man, and keen observer of human nature; he has filled his works with plates illustrative of every section of it. Though going over the same ground, it is quite unlike the work of Stephens, Mrs. Haight, Morris, Madden, or any other traveller, and will be read ex- tensively. We shall give copious extracts from it on Monday, with several of the best illustrations.

It reiterates the complaint as to the refusing to swear in Mr. Atwill, his subsequently swearing in Mr. Osgood—his not submitting to the d sion of the Supreme Court, which, the report sa law ot the land till reversed—his refusing the use of the Assistant Alderman’s room to the whig members,although he Judges ofthe Supreme Court had adjourned for that purpose—his permitting the whig members to be insulted when they had met in the tea-room, &c., &c. ‘The repor: cencludes as follow: 0 far from making an eftort to ring the Mayor within the grasp of an impeachment, it i: the desire of your committee to avoid its necessity: and while they cannot but admit that a corrupt and dishones: motive might be attributed to him without an: vio- iation of probabilities—yet they would extend the mantle of charity even at the risk of being pronoupced unduly ienient, rather than severely just.” A resolution was appended, of which the following is an extract, and which, with the exception of a little hard janguage in addition, may be said to contain the whole :— ‘As it may be doubted (the Committee will not say unrea- sonably) whether those acts (of the Mayor) have not pro- seeded rather from erroneous views of the law of the land, and a misapprehension of his oificial duties, than from & corrupt and more discreditable motive, the Board of Assis. tant Aldermen decline proceeding to an impeachment of the said Robert H.

Mayo, one ofthe seamen. ‘The vessel, it appears, sail- ed from New Orleans for New Yerk on the 20th June. It had been customary to wash down decks every evenin, between 6 and 8 o'clock. On the 28th of June, Mayo, an another seaman belonging to the starboard watch, went below at $ o’clock without having done so. A boy went aft to the first mate, and told him 1 the men had gone below, saying that they did notintend to wash the deck, as it wasa foolish practice to do so every night, and asked if he might not go below too. The first mate replied no, and went immediately torward to the foreca’ He sang out, asking ifany one was below. Froin_ this point there is much contradiction in lence, and from what occur- red then, and a few hours subsequeut!y. the Grand Jury have found bills of indictment against tle ist and 2d mates for an assault on M and, on the other hand, bills against Mayo and two other seamen (Gow lridge and Freu- den) for an attempt to create a revolt. \.ayo testified that the first mate came to the forecastle, and enquired if any one was there—he replied, “ Yessir. ‘The mate told jim to come up and wash thedeck. He (Mayo) enquired if it was the custom on board that ship to wash deck in the evening. He immediately got out of his berth, however, by which time the first mate had got down either to the lower step or to the floor. In going out he put his hand upon the mate’s shoulder, when the latter told him not to strike him. Hereplied, Ido not mean to strike you, but to go on deck and’do my duty like a man.’ Al- most immediately he (Mayo) was grasped by the hair of the head by the second mate. In his own defence he got the ‘first mate by the throat, and also released himself from the other. The second mate (the prisoner) then caught up aclub or handspike and jabbed it down the stairs, striking witness severely on the breast andhead. Himself and watchmate then went on deck, wherethey were dreadfully beaten by the first and second mates, as also was Trunden, Witness was knocked down repeatedly by a harpoon staff, and so much injured that he has not been able to do any work sinve. Another of the seamen (Goodridge) corroborated this statement, bein; one of the sufferers. In asking what he had done, the 4 mate said he was a down-east ——, and he would teach him that he must do his duvy. ‘The first mate, in giving his testimony, said that the captain had given orders that the deck should be wet eve- ry night, and it always had been done. When informed hat the starboard watch had gone below, he went to the orecastle and a ked ifthey were not coming upto wash tec! Mayo replied no, he was net, and asked what was the use of washing down the deck every night. Witness replied that the captain had so ordered, and it must be lone. He went down into the forecastle, and when at the foot of the stairs Mayo caught him by the throat and most strangled him. His brother (the 2d mate) came to assist- ance of witness, when he was struck by Goodridge, who gavehim a black eye ; that second mate then got the har- poon staff to detend himself. The captain was sick in the cabin at the time, and died four or fi 's afterwards. Witness told him that the men were in a of mutiny, and asked him what he should do. The captain told him to defend the ship. On going forward, he found the men armed with handspikes, and he did that which he thought necessary for the safety of the vessel. Other testimony was offered, which only appeared to render “ confusion worse confounded.” Ftom the decla. rations of the seamen, it appears that some kind friend of the officers had poisoned their minds in regard to them, as they ” had heard they were bad men,” &c. Mayo says it was this thought, and a fear of his life, that caused him to catch the first mate Ie the throat. he prisoner was ably defended by 8. Jay Haskett, Esq. while the District Attorney and Mr. Price were opposed to him. _In his opening, Mr. Hoffman said the punishment of the offence was a fine not exceeding $3000,and imprison- ment for not mere than three years, at the discreton of the Court.

Anterior to his arrest, the de- ‘endant had filed a petition in baukruptcy, and his coun- el, Mr. Brady, coutended that subsequent process could sot be issned by a State Court. This was met in opposi- ion, by Mr. Joachimsson and Mr. Cook, for plaintiff:— ‘he complaint on which the arrest of Abrahams was ounded, states, that when he came back last time he went into plaintiff's store with his hat over yes, $0 as iearly to conceal his face.

In the mean i ntil his final discharge, or till the bankrupt’s isposed of, are we to proceed, or'should ,pro- ceedings, till then, be suspended. If the application for discharge from his debts should be denied to defendant, the proceedings of the plaintiff might still be effectual. ‘ly impression is that the voluntary application mei ought not be deemed in itselfa preclusion of a legal pro- ceding against the petitioners for the colleccion of a debt. Afinal certificate of discharge is alone a bar to suits or proceedings for debts comprehended in she disc [inclined to the opinion thi” after a voluntar; applic: in bankruptcy, or after a compulsory proceeding, final en- forcement of the remedies, as relates to other courts, should be postponed until the bankrupt proceedings are disposed of T do not mean that other suits should not be allowed to be instituted or proceeded with, but that no final action should be allowed that might in their conse- quences conflict with the bankrupt proceedings, or pro- luce collision between the courts. In the particular case before us, the object is by imprisonment to compel the tefendant to surrender his Property, or to pay the plain- tits demand. He has no rigut to do either after his peti- tion, except under the bankrupt proceedings. Ifhe is de- nied his final bankrupt discharge, then we may proceed. My impression is that the proceedings ought to ve ad- journed until the bankrupt proceedings are finally settled, particularly as the defendant has given security for his appearance. tf a debtor voluntarily petitions for the benefit of the vankrupt act, it seems to me that the judge before whom subsequent proceedings, under the fraudulent debtors act, are instituted against the petitioner, may with pro- priety postpone proceedings so as to prevent any final action until the bankrupt’s application is disposed of. This decision is where procecdings are instituted after the pe- lition in bankruptcy, and when the plaintiff has a knowledge of such, and where the proceeding is to com- pel the defendant to do that which he voluntarily offers to lo, If the proceedings were prior to the bankrupts ap- plication, the consequences might be different.” The bail was held, and tne case adjourned to the 2th September. fraudu- Special Sessions, Before Judge Lynch and Aldermen Leonard and Smith.

Julia Thompson, a chocolate eyed woolly head, was placed in the bar for stealing a sliver ‘ch from Jacob Albrecht ; was disc] ed, there not being evidence to convict her. James McGill, adyer by trade, was charged with stealing asmall package of shoes from ‘the st Raritan, but upon representing his is first offence, and that he in Trenton, for whom he had resorted to this city to obtain support, he was allowed to travel out of the United States into Jersey. Hugh Sylvans, charg- ife, who is a cripple, with abusing her, ‘was let ating that she was corned, and he merely act- ed in defence of his marriage right. James Taylor, a salt water dog, beat Martin McGlinn, and the Court allowed nim to go, provided he would go to sea.

Nancy W’Kenna, for stealir ‘| atrock from the daughter of John Moulon, which was found where she had pawned it, was forwarded to the care of the keeper of Blackwell's Island for two months. Joseph Dawson was charged by his wife with assaulting her, but upon good promises he was ale lowed to enter his own recognizance for future good be- havior. Joseph O’Brien was arraigned for the same of- fence, but his wife stated that he was a good man when he was sober, but having got a little toddied, he struck her, when she went to the “ post-master” and entered com- plaint. She thought better of it now and the Court let him go on promise to behave himself. One of the female harpies of the points, named Maria Reynolds, was con- victed of snatching a gold breast pin from Henry Fisher, but the Courtletherrun.

Destaverion or THe Rotunpa ny Frae,—A few mo- ments after the closing of this building in Prince street, last evening at half past nine o’clock, it was discovered to beon fire, and in less than balf an hour, owing to the com bustible state of the paintings and other materials in it, the interior was entirely consumed including the splendid Panoramas of Jerusalem and Thebes. In addition to this loss by Messrs. Catherwood and Jackson, the owners, the formermet with am almost invaluable loss in the total de- struction of a large portion of his ancient relicts and ori- ginal paintin, walls of the building remain standing, been used in the course of the evening at the exhibition ‘The total loss is estimated at over $20,000, but a very small portion of which is insured. The building, as well as its contents, we understand, belonged to Messrs Cather wood and Jackson, who are the sole sufferers. We trust the liberality of our citizens will cause it to rise like a Phe, nix from its ashes. Tnat $1000 Nots.—In the columns of the Herald yes- terday morning an owner was desired for a $1000 note in possession of Justice Parker, and strange asit may appear, in these dull times, and scarcity of small change, no own- er appeared for the interesting amount. We therefore concluded to make inquiry into its history, and find that on Thursday evening Justice Parker received private in- formation that a man named Charles Stone, whose flash alias is “ French Jack,” and who has recently kept an ex- change office at 333 Broadway, near Anthony street, was endeavoring to get a $1000 note changed in Church street, ane had offered any body who would change it the sum of $30. He immediately deputed officers Stokely and Jame: L. Smith to errest him, knowing his notorious character, and ina short period they found the gentleman, who deui- ed all knowledge of having the bill, or knowing any thing On proceeding to the watch house, however, in company with the officers, he requested to see Justice Par. ker, to whom he communicated the fact of his still hav- about it. ing possession of the bill. ‘The otticers then went with him to his office, when he showed them to the upper part of the house, and in an entry way between some boards ht drew the note out witha fork. He confessed that the note did not belong to him, that he would go tothe Sta' e prison before he would acknowledge from whom he hl receiv- ed it. He said that on Thursday evening a) yt 9 o'clock a man came into his office and offered th get changed. He took it and promised on Friday and give him the small nete: he has a clam of $350 upon the note, rving advanced tha‘ sum to the owner. His paramour, Mary Jane Montgome ry, was also arrested yesterday on suspfcion of some knowledge of this circumstance, and they are both now ‘get it change? He also says tha inthe Tombs. The bill is on the Union Bank of this city, and has been deposited by Mr. Callendar, one of the policr clerks, in a bank for safe keeping until the owner calls for it. Justice Parker deserves. the approbation of the com- munity in thus risking the opposition of lawyers, to re turn this sum of money to its lawful owner. We shall seep our eyes on that $1000 note. A New Coustenrsit.—A man named William Wil: liams, who is feiters that have recently arrived in this city, was arrest ed by officer Sweet ona charge of passing a $10 counter- feit note of the Hudson River Bank, letter C, dated Octo. ber, 21, 1840, at the box office of the Chatham Theatre it payment for a ticket. He was charged with the crime while sitti.g in one of the boxes, but denied that he hac passed the note. Although when he was searched the even chai of the bill, except the price of the ticket was found in his pockets. He was committed for trial. Luwatics.—The late law relative to lunacy passed a the last session pf the Legislature, so puzzled and con fused the mind of a certain legal gentleman at the policc yesterday, that great fears are entertained that he will be come an inmate at the Palace on Blackwell’s Island. The Police Clerks who have undertaken to unravel the intri cacies of this law have all been more or less afflicted wit) mental alienation. Im fact the law is so obtuse and inde- finite that any legal mind would assert without hesitation that it had been framed ina mad house, and then sent t the Legislature for their sanction. Few Dis anp None Resicy.—Of the 100 Mayor’s Mar- shalls who received warrants for the past year, none have tendered their resignations under the present call for re- turn of warrants. The new appointments will take place in a few weeks, when many of those who have been e moth and rust to the body politic will receive their walk- ing papers. Stand from under all ye whose necks are not ready for the guillotine. Tuem Srers.—The front steps of the Egyptian ‘Vombs on Centre street will certainly breed the cholera,or some- thing worse in the course of a few days, unless water is applied to cleanse them. A Police wilicer in attempting to carry in a prisoner yeeterday came near being swamp- ed. He wasone of the duck-leg species however. Clean them steps. Surrtyina tHe City win Ice Water.—A gentleman known for his flights of fancy, while standing at the Cro- ton reservoir a few days since, and expatiating upon the vast benefits to result to the city, broke forth as follows : “In addition to other improvements, I would construc: alarge ice-heuse in the vicinity of the reservoir, and it the winter season have it well filled with ice from the surface of the water. Then, when warm weather arrives, order ice to be dumped into the reservoir daily, and thu acupply of ice-water would be furnished to the whol city at but little kn pg We ope es to ima- gine the quantity of ice that would be reqi to accom plish the gentleman’s philanthropic measure, and conclud- ed that the construction of a direct rail-road from the re- servoirto the North Pole would produce the desired re. sult, if the curs conveying the ice were kept continually running, Sundays not exceptea.

River, between the boats Henry Stork, Washington, Experiment, and Jacob Faithful, distance four miles, was won by the Henry Stork, built by C. L. Ingersoll, Esq. Herotc Coxpuct of a Youre Femare.—Yesterday morning the inmates of the house No. 22 Grove street, o¢ cupied by the family of widow Watkins who is absent in: Europe, were alarmed by the noise of persons who hac entered the premises as was supposd with intent to steal. The house was occupied at the time by two daughters of Mrs, Watkins, aged 16 and 8 years, a son aged 18 and & ‘oung man named John Satterlee.’ The eldest female, Rearing the burglars below and presuming that they wer of a desperate class, descended from the second story wis dow by the water spout and succeeded in entering an ad- joining yard on the premises of Dr. Treanor, whose family were awakened; the bold and daring rogues put to flight. During her absence they fired a pistol at the door of the room where Satterlee was stationed, and also stabbed him in the arm. Although they had collected the silver plate together the resistance made by the inmates was such as to fiw dd rogues at bay until additional force was raised to frighten them trom the premises. The daring oes of the young female entitles her to great praise, and if she isnot snapped up by some chivalrous pat yw ine short period of time, we doubt that chivalry “exists to any alarming extent in this community,” as Ri- ker used to say of other matters. Jim Epaixeron Puttep.—This fall rigged burglar was pulled yesterday bed otticers Stokely and James L. Smith with a ‘coat upon store of Felix Row since, when it was broken open and clotuing and cloth valued at between two and three hundred dollars carried away from the premises. Porcmix Exinaxce.—A loafer named John Williams was caught yesterday morning charged by Mr: R. Clesr- of his lar door on the water with breaking the loc! night of the 26th inst, and stealin; ; valde of $25, He was fully committed to prison. ExtRAonpinany Cause or Deat.—Mr, Christian Heyer, corde ‘of7th avenue and 18th street, died suddenly yester- day from congestion of the brain. He had been troubled with deafness of the left ear for a number of years, and also severe pains of the head at interv: A post mortem ex- amination of the body was held by Dr. James B. Kissam and the Coroner, when it was ascertained that the scalp was very much congested, and the surface of the brain in asimilar condition, the whole of which was slightly sof: tened. At the base of the skull, occupy ing!» lateral portion, and resting upon the left Mery goid process of the sphenoid and petrous portion of the left temporal bones, was a tumor about the size of ahen’s egg, pre g upon the vessel returning the bloed trom the brain, and causing absorption of the above-named processes of bone, and opening into the meatus an itorious of the left side. On removiag the tumor, and examining the cavity made by the absorption, some clots ». blood escaped trom beneath it. Dr. Kissom decided that the immediate cause of his death was congestion of the brain, produced by the essure ofthe above tumor interrupting the return of the p01 1 the Lea’. This is certainly a most interesting case for the medical faculty, Snor Kerrers Resows.—The notorious shop lifter, Jane Fenton, was pulled and fully committed, yesterday, by officer Durando.

[Correspondence of the Herald.) Puiaperrnia, July 29, 1842. Exciting Steamboat Race on the Delaware—The New York Crack Boat Beaten—Mormon Elder Adams and. Dr. West—Crim Con and Elopement—Alerander Crary— Stocks, §c. There was yesterday a spirited race on the Delaware between the Philadelphia steamboat “Robert Morris,” a veasel of great size and power, and the neat, spiteful look- ing little craft, from New York, called the “Rainbow.%- ‘The point of starting was the wharf on the westerly side of Cape May, and the starting was at nearly the same mo- ment. The distance is not far from one hundred miles, and was accomplished in 6] hours, neither vessel stoppin on thew ‘he “Morris” came in three or four hundred yards ahead, though tooffset this beat it isalleged that the “Rainbow” labored under some disadvantage of fuel. There is much sore feeling manifested here on the mat- ter than you would imagine,and I should not be surprised to hear of some serious consequences as its fruits. ‘The boats had hardly touched the wharf before their respec- tive friends were loud in defending their favorite vessel, and bantering «nd offers to wager ran high for a future contest. The Morris has for years beew considered the fastest boat on the river, and exchan, laces with the Ohio, belonging to the same company, it is leved, with the sole view of measuring power and bottom with her saucy looking little competitor. The Morris is a beautifcl vessel, ising. high above the water, while the Rainbow ties low, and is as sharp asa knife, and apparently glides through the water as easy and as rapidly as a“ greased streak of lightning.” On Wednesda; sreniag & most marvellous scene oc- curred at the Assembly Building, corner of Tenth and Chesuut, which deserves public notice. Elder Adams, the great lion and apostle of Joe Smith’s cohorts, delivered a liscourse in favor of the Latter Day Saints. At the latter part of his discourse he called out ‘with Stentorian lungs, ‘«where now is the celebrated and learned Dr. West? He knew I was coming to Philadelphia. Why does he not a] pear and vindicate Orthodoxy, if in his power?” At thi moment a portly figure started i'up and electrified the au- dience by stating, ‘ Ladies gentlemen, the person who has addre: you fesses to speak by irativ but had he possessed what he professes, he would have known that Dr. West is present, and now challenges him to prove the truth of his monstrosities before this enlight- ened community.” The Botanic Doctor Chauncey, who was convieted in this city some years since for producing abortien, which resulted in death, and who was a few months since par- joned from prison, through the instrumentality of a friend inthe service of the State, has had his young and beautiful daughter run away with by this same friend, a man with a wife and far . Chauncey now finds the man whom he deemed his greatest friend, was his worst enemy. This isthe way of the world, however. It is full of selfishness and deceptiou—the devil’s rampart is every where. There is nothing new in connection with the arrest and history of Alexancer, in confinement for the murder of the broker Lougee, that has come to my knowledge to- fay. The opinion that the fellow is crazy, gains strength he more the murder is contemplated. He made noet- tempt to rob, and no other isfactory motive for the deed can be conceived of.

Tue Cuivatry.—General Scott has written a let- ter to his political friends, stating that he is in fa- vor of appointing to office those who support his election—also in favor of a protective tariff.
