Tue Reeeertos ov gaa Vero 1x Naw York The reception of the last veto of President Tyler in ty, has been of the most curious character ima- navior of the whigs generally on its most boisterous and savage.

It isworthy the serious consideration of | ‘heir shouting. But the most amusing exhibition all who take the least interest in the preservation of } W88 that displayed by the partizan presses of this city, The “Courier” was, as a matter of course, quite rabid and vulgarly abusive. So was the “ Ame- rican;” the “ Commercial” was but little better. But more than all, it was amusing to see the “ Ex- press,” which is enjoying a Government post office contract worth $20,000 year, turnround and abuse sident like a pickpocket. Here are some of ice extracts from the Express:— ‘The President of the United States ha ain in‘ erposed the strong arm of Executive authority against the Legisla- tivebranch of the Government. The President, Execu- Live, Dietator, he has embodied in his own person. Never elected by the People to fillthe place he holds, he has taken upon himself an authority unparalleled inthe his- tory of our own Government, and beyond all precedent in the history of the Government of the crowned heads of the old world. For the first time, we have a President ve- toing a Revenue Bill, and that, too, under circumstances so peculiar and so aggravated, that the mass of men will believe the President is not in his right mind ! . . . * ¥ Mr. Tyler has the permanent hatred of the wholede- Mocratic party for abandoning that pery under the ad- ministrat on of General Jackson, and he has lost the con- fidence of the whigs by separating himself from those who cheerfully and voluntarily gave him next to the highest office in the gift of the People. President Tyler, in the language of the Declaration of Independence. “has refused hig assent to laws the most necessary and wholesome for the publie good.” He has arraigned him- self against the Representatives of the People. He has taken upon himself powers not designed by the spirit of the Constitution.* Haight , * i * But denunciation and lamentation are alike idle. Men may mar, butthey cannot destroy. The President may wrong the people to wreak his vengeance upon his ene- miesin Congress. Could he not have wret en- geance upon his enemies in the two Houses of Con; without hurling his poisonous arrows in the bosom of the Republic? On the other hand, equally ‘amusing are the ex- pressions of the locofoco editors, particularly our friend Slam, Bang & Co. It is universally conceded by all partiesthat this message is the most complete, comprehensive, and at the same time the neat- est document that ever came from the president.— And it is so thoroughiy democratic that it takes the wind completely out of Mr. Van Buren’s sails. Con- sequently, this enlightened savan, Slam, says— While we rejoice that Mr. Tyler has interposed his veto against it, we are heartily sorry that his objections were not more ggneral and more in consonance with enlighten- ed public opinion. That is, he likes the measure itself in the ab- stract, but he does not like the style of the message. Capital critic! When the fact is, that it is more comprehensive, better worded, neater, and more elegant than anything that ever emanated from Mr. Van Buren’s pen, or anything that he could write were he to do nothing else for the next ten consecu- tive years. This veto message will cause a terrible blow up and explosion of the whig party. The aeparation of the Tariff principle in the measure from the Distri- bution principle will cause a complete separation of the eastern whigs from the western whigs on the merits of the act itself. And the strong democratic manly principles laid down in this veto, takes the ground completely from under the feet of Mr. Van Buren. Thus, all parties are thrown by it into the utmost confusion. And there they will remain for some time tocome. And if there should bean extra ses- sion the confusion and discord would be increased ten fold. In short, no one can see clearly the ulti- mate effects of this measure but those who have a good substantial squint, that enables them to look all ways atonce. One thing is certain. The veto will be the death blow to all politicians and finan- cers; and the working men, the industrious me- chanic, and the honest, enterprising, steady, cash tradesmen, will all come out right eventually. commercial friendship, and terms of amity between the three greatest nations in n~France, England, and the United the peace now existit vration of this /éte at this time will be a we have three ves by side in our beantiful harbor, idenee, whilst the-e three great powers—the Gomer, and the The on wt out Lord Ashburton, who ever since his ar. pttling the North Carolina val has been mest intently engaged in tive affairs of two great nations, which have been ina miserably unsettled state ever since the close of volutionary war, and in securing to the two esa lasting peace,and an amicable adjustment of all those difficulties and grievances which brought about the last war, and which the millions of blood ed in that disastrous war, failed sure, sacrifi to effect Atthe same time we have the French Govern- ment sending one of her best steam ships, the Go- mer, with commissioners, to open with this country a most valuable and comprehensive commercial in- tercourse that shall be productive of incalculably useful results to both nations, politically, socially and commercially, There were eight of these Commissioners sent to our shores by the Government nd they have now been actively em- 1 for some weeks in collecting a vast amount of important information that will be useful, to both countries, and taking the preparatory step to a last- ing and immensely valuable commercial intercourse and negotiation between the two countries. In connection with this matter the President has made a communication to ‘Congress, stating the objects and desires of the French Government, and the beneficial results that might flow from the contem- ated measures. And the probability is that by a lation the two countries will be placed upon a better footing in relation to their commercial intercourse, and feel- of friendship, than by all the tedious and ex- pensive treaties that e could be concooted. All these events, it will be seen,are of remarkable importance at this moment. And there can be no better time, place, or opportunity, than in New York—immediately after the arrival of Lord Ash- burton here—to get up a most magnificent fete, dinner, or ball—(say at Castle Garden) in honor of their occurrence ; and also for the purpose ot draw- ing the minds ef the people of this City, and State, and of the whole country, to the innumerable ad vantages resulting to us from the consummation of this treaty and these movements, securing as they do a lasting peace and an extended commerce be- tween these three great nations. Sucha /éle—such a movement, for such high and ennobling purposes, would be one worthy of the people of this city and country. It would most pro- perly and most effectually obliterate the disgraceful toadyism paid by parvenues, small paragraphists and bankrupts, to literary bagmen, itimerant novelists, It would be fora sion—and should be a great na- tional festival, givenim a style worthy of the me- tropolis of the nation—New York.

Medical Intelligence. The new movements in medicine in this city, to which we have on several recent occasions directed public attention, are still progressing prosperously. The “Stuyvesant Institute School of Pharmacy,” and the “Nassau street College of Medicine and Pharmacy,” are succeeding well. Dr. Mott and Dr. Pattison are now on more friendly terms than formerly, and anticipate a golden harvest in their new scheme for the advancement of phamaceuti- eal science. Well, certainly the laborer should have his reward, and we hope that these distinguish- ed physicians, and the members of the College of Pharmacy, will reap an adequate and just remune- ration trom their laborsiin this importantidepartment of medical science. Several new and efficacious remedies are, itis said, already introduced by this establishment. The College are about to issue the first number of a periodical, to be styled the “ Fami- ly Physician,” to be circulated gratuitously. This journal will expose the impositions which have been practiced in the medical world, and will also con- tain valuable medical advice, conveyed in a plain and practical manner. There ean be little doubt that this publication, and the lectures at the Stuyve- sant School of Pharmacy, will effect much good, and eventually do more than all the legislative en- aetments in the world, to preserve the community from imposition. Tgnorance is the mother of impos- ture, and knowledge alone can exterminate the evil progeny. {n view of this,therefore,we call upon’our public au- thorities—we call upon all distinguished and worthy private life, (particularly those who made fools of themselves during the Boz fever in this city) to come out now, upon this truly national occasion, and do something in order to wipe away the folly of their former doings, and to make their fellow-citi- zens respect them for the rest of theirlives. Should they be so silly as to hang back now, after having almost deified a literary bagman, we certainly shal! be compelled to publish all the tricks connected with the Boz ball and Boz dinner affairs, and give the names of those who then made fools of them- selves at full length, without benefit of clergy. persons i INaRY.—The celebrated Ge ohn Cooke Bennett, arrived in this'city yes- He is preparing to publish a book, which is Exarac terday, to be a fulland complete history of the Mormons, put and private—the secrets of their religion, their mode of life at Nauvoo—the celebrated pro- phet Joe Smith’s secret system of wives—their mode of warfare—tactics—civil and religious government —with various other curious and perfectly original matters.

Witxes then made a request to the Court that he might be allowed to make an explanation respecting some portion of the report ef yesterday’s proceedings in the Mexacp of this morning’ ‘To this the Court objected, that they had nothing to dv with any opinion which might be expressed in the papers or by Person who might form and express an opinion as fo what had oceurred. “ ‘ Lieut. Witxxs stated it was in regard to his having dis- regarded three orders from the Secretary of the Navy to deliver up journals, &c. ‘The Paxsivesr said it did not appear on the minutes of the proceedings, and what appeared in the papers could not be noticed by the Court. Lieut. Witkrs then stated that so far as he was person- ally concerned “‘he cared little about what the newspa- pers said, he was thickskinned so far as they were concern: ed.” ‘The subject was then set at rest, and Lieut. Wilkes, as we understand, was to state what he desired in wri- ting. The Jupae Avvocare then stated that Lieut. Perry de- sired to correct part of his testimony. Lieut. Penny was recalled, and said, | wish to state that after leaving the cabin on T'uesday afternoon, and recon- sidering my testimony, a doubt arose in my mind whether it was a patent or deck loy at we had used in the sur- vey (ofthe Island of Upol i Court for permission to quay my tes but did not, as I was told [war to be Court again; of the fact that we used alog 1 am p positive, and at the time I gave my testimony I was under the impression it was @ patent log, but after the most anx- ious reflection I cannot decide whether it was a patent or deck log; I had heen greatly in the habit of using a patent log on board the Peacock, and had to plot the work of the schooner in which she used a patent log. (The accused here presented a remonstrance to the Court against Lieut. Wilkes, the prosecuting witness being isted by an Attorney to conduct the prosecution, and the Court stated that they could not allow it, as the Judge Advocate was appointed by Government to conduct the prosecution.] Lieut. Witxes said in reply that he had not had any assistance from counsel in conducting the prosecution. In reply to questions from the accused, the witness said: —During the first survey of the Island of Upolo, the wind was from the south and east, and during the last, from the north and west, and part of the time calm, and the south side of the island was consequently exposed during the first survey, and sheltered during the last. J surveyed the harbor of Falealiti under the orders ofthe accused, and by myself. I never measured the charts, and to the eye the only difference appeared to be in the sketching. 1 considered them as corresponding. The boats during the first survey were not sentinside th reef as soon as prac- ticable, because we did not corsider it necessary the first day, the weather being fine for the schooner to be engaged, and the coast appearing straight, without sny harbor. They could not be sent when it was necessary, because the weather prevented it. The first survey I was about three hours making a survey of Falealiti, the last time I think we began at sunrise, and I think nearly fin that afternoon, and took one or two lines of sounding next day. It is my impression that we los: some time that day by ri jeut. Wikes made an attempt to examine this wit- ness as to the evidence given by Lieut. Sinclair, as report- ed in the Heraco, thus acknowledging the correctness of the reports which the reporter understood him to impugn at the commencement of the proceedings. Passed Midshipman May called and sworn.—The letters on which the first specification of the first charge is grounded, were shown to witness, who said he did not know that Lieut. Pinkney had written them, or caused them to be forwarded to Lieut. Wilkes. The secend specification charges the accused with ex- hibiting the letters and charges to junior officers under his command. ‘The witness said he never exhibited any let- ters to me. On a copy of the charges being exhibited to witness, he svid 1 have seen these charges before. The Juvar Avvocate was here sworn, in order to put an end to an objection raised by Lieut. Wilkes, the prose- cuting witness, that it might not be a true copy, and he certified that te original charges forwarded to the depart- ment by Lieut. Pinkney against Lieut. Wilkes, had been destroyed in consequence of having been so much blotted and interlined by himself, that they were not fit to be sent again to the Department, but that the copy befure the Court had been made from a copy kept by Lieut. Pink- ney, and were to all intents and purposes a copy therco!, and, he believed, a literal and verbatim copy. This the prosecuting witness desired might a pear upon the minutes, to which the Judge Advocate replied it eer- tainly would. Wirsrss—I believe I have seen a copy of these charg- es before—the one referred to by the Judge Advocate a having been destroyed. When I was at the observatory at Oahu I received a paper from Lieut. Alden to deliver to Mr. Howison, with a request that he would deliver them into Mr. Wilkes’ own hands; Mr. Howison did not come up before my usual hour for leaving the observatory, and Itherefore, on leaving, carried the papers with me. ‘I ac- cidentally met in the street with acting Surgeon Palmer, who observed the paper in the breast of my coat ; he ask- ed me what it was? replied, a paper belonging to Lieut. Pinkney. He asked me if Thad read it? I replied no. He observed that Lieut. Pinkney did not design to conceal itfrom me. I then had the paper in my hand, and said, do you authorize me to read it?” He said, certainly ; that he was sure it would be agreeable to Pinkney. I would ob- serve that at this time I knew Dr. Palmer to be the confi- dent and adviser of Liout. Pinkney,and considered he was empowered to authorise me to read it. I glanced briefly over the charges, and if there was a letter in the envelope hesides the charges, I do not recollect it. Shortly after I met Lieut. Pinkney and told himf{ had read those ch and he oxpretsed himself perfectly satisfied at my having done so, and I left the charges with him. 1 again receiv ed the charges from him, but forget at what time; the next morning I gave them to Mr, Howison. Examined by Lieut Witxes. The officers engaged at the observatory plotting charts, were Licuts. Alden, Perry, Case, Budd, Walker, and some others. I don’t recollect ‘distinctly whom. Lieut. Em- mons was another. I think those were nearly all the Lieuts. that were there. It was atthe observatory Lieut Alden gave me these charges, and gave me a message to deliver them into the hands of’ Mr. Howison, and for Mr. Howison to deliver them into the hands of Lieut. Wilkes himself. I think the charges were directed to the Hon.the Secretary of the Navy, and the paper was unsealed. A letter from the witness to Lieut. Wilkes, containing the substance of the above testimony, was put in by Lieut. Wilkes and read. interview which I had with Lieut. Wirsess.—In ai when he had sent for me, he wanted me to divul; the name of the friend who had authorized me to read the charges. I declined doing so, and addressed a letter to him giving my reasons for so declining. ‘The first specification of the second charge alleges that Lieut. Pinkney suffered arms, &c. on board the Flyin; Fish to become ruined by neglect. ‘The witness said, knew nothing of it; I never have seen any neglect ‘in Lieut. Pinkney. ‘The second specification relates to neglect in placing a watch, whereby five men deserted at Sydney. ‘The wit- 1 know that these men deserted and carried off dit was whilst Lieut. Sinclair, then master, was a for the watch. ‘he third specification relates tothe alleged negligence in surveying the Island of Survey. The witness was not then attached to the schooner. The third charge is for altering and repairing the schr. without authority. The witness said—Lieutenant Pink. ney made necessary repairs whilst at the Bay of Islands. We went into the Bay of Islands in a very unseaworthy condition, and these repairs put upon her were highly im- portant for her safety. Q—) it. Wixes—What were those repairs? A.--Canlking, for she leaked like a sieve. hile down south, making and repairing gafls, the jaws of which had been carried away, raising and cleeting the saddle of the main boom, shifting and fitting the rigging, making new cleets and cabbles, making a room for the better security and safety of the sails, and other minor alterations arid repairs. Q.—By Jupar Avvocate—Was there a fore topmast fit ted, and how was it made? A’—There was one made, or rather a signal pole, as T ‘stood at the time , that is all I know about it. In answer to a question from Lieutenant Wilkes, the witness said—Part of the time that 1 was at Sydney, | was intending at the storehouse on shore during the day, ing an account of the stores and provi off to the ship, and was excused from the night Lieutenant Finkney’s permission. I believe the schooner had acomplete outiitat Sydney, in all respects. An or. der from Lieutenant Wilkes dated Ist April, 1840, forbi ding Lieutenant Pinkney from making Tepairs or altera- tions in the Flying F without his (Lieut. Wilkes’) written order, was shown to the witness, whosaid he had e it to his recollection. This order is dated s after the date laid in the specification, as the offence having been committed in defiance of that or- ler. The witness knew nothing about the fourth or fifth charges, relating to the accused’s journal, which he is first accused of not keeping regularly, and destroying. ‘The sixth charge is for cruelly and illegal hex a black cook on the schooner, named Jno. A. Weaver, be- tween the 26th Dec., 1839, and 17th April, 1840.

A few days before we arrived at Apia, Mr. Perry was taken ill, and I went out in the boat alone, sketching the shore and taking soundings where neces- sary. One afternoon, I think between 2and 3 0’clock, signal was made on board the schooner to come alongside; 1 did so, and found on board Captain Hudson, and several other officers of the squadron, and between 30 and 40 men belongiug to the Vincennes and Peacock.

[assisted in taking some. I saw the work plot- ted and plotting. It was plotted from the data that we got by surveying from these observations that we got. Lr. Hupson recalled; the instructions relating to survey- ing were shown to him; he was asked if he could say whe- ther 4 had been promulgated prior to the 19th Oct., ’39, to which he replied that he could not tell. I think I got these instructions in the low Archipelago, and if so, that was previous to the time mentioned an they were pro- mulgated. We left Callao on the 12th July, 1839, and reached the Archipelago in September. The accused was Ist Lieut. of my ship, ihe Peacock,) prior to the 19th Oc- tober, 1839. He joined my ship in the month of February. I think he was Ist Lieut. at the time those instructions were received by{me. It was not my place to furnish him with a copy, except through the general order book. I was in the it of forwarding the order book into the ward room and eras for the officers to acquaint them- selves with what might be there, and itis probable I sent thi the Accusrp.—I presume the accused was on board the vesselewhen that order was promulged. He was Ist Lieut. I presume so from the fact of hav: received the fers while Lt. Pinkney was Ist Lieut. of the ship. Tam wrong. Mr. Pinkney was not on board the ship at that time. ‘He joined the ship in Orange harbor, ‘and deft it in Valparaiso or Callao. That was previous to our going to the Lower Archipelago, and he consequently could not have been on board when the order was promulged. The Peacock was not engaged in any survey while the accus- ed was attached to her. I think 1 did not receive the in- structions in Orange harbor, which we left on the 26th of February, 1839. I don’t know whether tne boats acted un- der these instructions at Rio Negro. It was the order that all officers should make themselves acquainted with the surveying instructions. By the Accusep.—I think that order was promulged at Rio Negro, in the month of January, 1839 ; but T may be wrong ; that would apply to the boat work. ‘The accused was on Separate service in the Relief at that time. By Lr. Wi.xxs.—The accused joined the Peacock at Orange harbor, in February, 1339. The Court then adjourned till 16 o'clock to-morrow morning. Board of Supervisors. Avoust 11.—Tne Board met, pursuant to adjournment, Ald. Bais in the chair. The Committees to whom various bills had been refer- red yesterday, were not ready to report. A resolution was offered and adopted, adding the Comptroller and Coun- ne of the Board to such, with power to adjust and pay them. A resolution was offered relative to officers employed at the Court of Sessions, (not allowing more than eight,) c. Laid on the table. ‘The subject of salary to the Secretary of the Board of City Intelligence, ‘Tue Bowery Crim. Con.—One ofthe gayLotharios who went to Philadelphia to challenge a recognition, has re- turned with his flourishing whiskers shaved close to his skin, whether to avoid being recognized while there, or for what other purpose this deponeut saith not. The ladies have taken rooms snug and private. Mrs. Venables visit- ed her late husband’s premises on Wednesday, and was about to move off all hergoods and chattels, not even ex- cepting beds and bedstead, but was prevented from taking anything but her own clothing, which was delivered up by her husband, who paid the cartman’s charges to tote it off. Nothing else new. Seranation or Man anv Wire.—A German named George Wenger, of 150 Second street, applied at the uj police yesterday, ‘for a warrant for one Michael Zim- mer, ablacksmith, who resides at 154 in the sare street, for obtaining a silver watch from him under false i tences. It appeared that Wenger and his wife lived like cat and dog, and both being tired of such unity, concluded to separate. @immer, who is represented as aiding such movement from some cause best known to himself, was called upon or suggested that he could make them twain as quick as a flash, and keep them so till doomsday, ifthey leased. He undertook the performance of this feat of legal dexterity, on conditions that Wenger would give him his silver watch, which being complied with, the fol- lowing contract or deed of separation was drawn up in German by himself, and another person named Jacob Grok ind signed by the parties. The following is atrans- lation :— “1, the husband George Wenger, she the wife Eli: beth, agree to separate for good, and leave one another, and ‘wish nothing trom each other, nor want to see or speak to each other no more, her] ELIZABETH % WENGRR, 7 merk, GEORGE WENGER.

Zimen, Jacon Gron. ‘This not proving satisfactory to Wenger, he commenced a suit forthe loss of his watch, and charged Zimmer with obtaini agit under false pretences, he was committed te answer the allegations. Case or Froscn.—This person. charged with seven complaints of perf y, is yet in the Tombs, the amount of bai! demanded for him being $15,000. Jons Sait Acaiy.—John Anderson, brother of Corne- lius V., grocer, corner of Mulberry and Bayard, visited the Tombs yesterday, and recognised John Smith, the swindler, as the person who called in at the grocery a few days since, selected six pounds of best tea, worth a dollar a pound, and desired it to be sent to the house of Dr. Eng- land, corner of Mulberry and Prince. The tea was for- warded by young Anderson, but before reaching his place of destination he was met by the polite Mr. Smith, who informed him, that Dr. England also wanted sever pounds of coffee, with his tea; if he would return tothe store and procure it, he would convey the tea home and meet him at the house, The tea was delivered to Smith, but the bo being suspicious that all was not right, watched him until he managed to make his escape, when uipon repairing to the place directed to deliver the tea, he found that it was all a hoax, and that the rogue had out-witted him. John is safe in the Tombs. Biackwaws Putterp.—Oflicers Prince John Davis and Sparks pulled George Holer, alias Blackhawk, just out of the State prison, and one of his associates nained Charley Ress, yesterday, on suspicion ofburglary. ‘They were both locked up for the present. Trar Tea.—The owns af three chests of tea can pro- cure it by application to oflicer Stephens at the lower po- lice otfice. Nick Svaton on a Caapaane Frotic.—A genius who says he is not a Jemmy ‘Twitcher, but thal his name is plain Nick Snatch, was stopped on Wednesday night atthe corner of Brosdway and Wail street, by one of the city watch, with three bottles of champagne in his posses- sion, and @ pitcher full besides. He says he got (hem ar- ticles” from where he lives in Frankfort street, but his ap- earance being rather suspicious, he was laid up to dry for ashort period. A Crtase.—As officer Stevens was passing up Bayard street yesterday morning he spied a rogue named James Lennox, who stands charged with burglary, in entering the clothing store of Green & Concklin, 4 Bowery, on Tuesday morning last, in company with another man and two boys, and stealing a quantity of clothing. His part- ner was with him and Stevens gave chase, when the rogues separated, and after running through Bayard into Orange, thence to Mulberry into Cross, back into the first namod street, he succeedeil in overhauling Lenox, who was safely locked up. The two small boys, Hugh Bogan and Wm. Stewart, who were used by these burglars to en- ter houses thromh the windows, were captured a few days since and lodged in prison. Jessy Weiuiasts in tae Tomns.—This woman, who keeps a notorious house in Manhattan place, appeared in the Tombs yesterday, in the capacity of complainant against a young fellow named Stephe Mott, who she says with another, crawled into one of her windows on Wed- newtay night, raised the devil inside the house, snatched the kéysof her wine and treasures from her hand, and al- so afive barreled revolving pistol, and then decamped, having her minus these articles of use and defence. He was fully committed, ami she backed out.

Mouton’s majority at last is 1590. Norru Caroriva.—The whigs have doubtless carried the governor, whilst the lozofocos have car- ried both branches of the legislature. Atabama.—It is conceded by the whigs that the locofocos have carried this State. Inp1ana.—So far as heard from, the locos have 27 members of the legislature, and the whigs 22. It 1s thought that the legislature will be democratic. Iuuno1s.—Very few returns have come in. far the locos are ahead. Kentvcxy.—This State will, of course, be whig. But a new question has sprung up, called the “ re- lief question.” The “ relief” men appear to have a majority. They are fora stop law, asin Pennsylva- nia, and repudiation. So From Honpuras anp ‘AvoNnG SHore.—We have the Balize Honduras Advertiser to the 2d ultimo. We take from it the following items. The intelligence from Guatamala is of considera- ble importance. Venancio Lopez has resigned the Presidency, and is sueceeded by Rivera Paz. . Morazan is still advancing his fortunes, and it will not be matter of surprise, if inan exce ly short space of time he is at the head of the Nicaragua and Honduras Governments, and to such preponderating power Salvador and Guatamala must ultimately succumb, . It is to be perceived from the Declaration of Blockade, that it has unfortunately been found ne- cessary to have ‘recourse to extreme measures, in order to bring the States of Salvador and Nicaragua toa sense of justice respecting the claims made on them in behalf of certain British subjects who had suffered injury in Central America. The claims against Central America hay been put in a train for settlement,the Vice-Admir: sailed with most sists from Bermuda and Halifax. The Electra has gone down the coast to blockade San Jka, where she will, we believe, be joined by the Ringdove, Com. Sir. W. Daniel. The Pilot, Com. Hoping, remains at her present anchorage till rehéved, Mexieo and Texas, We find inthe New Orleans papers, a few days laternews from Mexico and Texas. The schooners Freeland and Edwide, from Cam- peachy, bring papersto the 17th ult. A fullaccount is given of the capture of the schooner Yucataco, by the Mexicans, which we published some days since in a letter from Vera Cruz. It seems that the Mexicans loafed about Campeachy, under the guise of smugglers, and so eseaped from suspicion of an hostile intent, and suddenly sent several well manned boats to the scantily manned Yucatan schooner, which they carried by storm, and after- wards towed her tosea. The editor of the Siglo thinks the occurrence a very fortunate one for Yuca- tan, inasmuch as it will cause her people not to sleep on their posts, butto be vigilant in guarding against the wiles of their Mexican enemies. The government had lately received a large sup- ply of powder and lead from the United States, and the teople were lying on their arms. It was be- lieved that Santa Anna intended the invasion of the Peninsula, but it was not believed the President would come in person, and the editor expresses his belief that Donna Garcia, the Presidentess, may in- fluence her better half not even to risk any of his men on so hazardousan expedition. é The editor of the Siglo thinks the Texiag squad- ron which was expected soon to leave ww Or- leans, would give a good account of the Mexican prize, and flatters himself that no tn time will elapse ere the Yucataco will reappear off their port bearing the ensign of freedom. Trxas.—Among {the bills. passed by Congress are a bill to regulate the collection of duties, and to re- ceive specie or its equivalent in Exchequer bills; a bill authorizing the President to sell er mortgage 400,000 acres of the Cherokee lands. Le, The navy is to be maintained, and two additional vessels are to be fitted out. The Civilian says, $$100,000 is expected at New Orleans in thirty days, in furtherance of these objects. Com. Moore, Gen. Johnson, and Lieut. Com- manding Seeger, of the man-of-war brig San An- tonio came passengers inthe Merchant. ‘The latter returns immediately to Galveston where his vessel is lying, and then sails on a cruise down the Gulf. Itis thought that Com. Moore will have the entire squadren at sea ina very short time. % Notwithstanding the veto of the “ War Bill” b: General Houston, commissions have been grante and small parties are still to annoy the Mexicans on the frontiers. 4 ‘Texas papers as late as July 27, have been receiy- ed. The only important item of news they contain is the determination of the President of Texas, not to attempt any invasion of Mexico ; assigning as a reason—and a ve: one it is—the want of mo- ney. The na of ‘exas is, however, to continue to annoy the Mexicans—blockading their ports as closely as may be, and capturing their vessels when- ever they meet them. Some companies of Texian troops are to be sent to the Mexican frontier, to watch and harrass the enemy, as opportunity may offer. George S. Carson, bearer of despatches to Gen. Thompson, the American Minister in Mexico, has arrived at New Orleans on his way to Vera Cruz. Late rrom Nassav.—The Mobile Herald says— “We are indebted to Captain Sawyer,of the schoon- er Racer, for Nassau, N. P., papers to the 9th July. The Colonial Treasury, like that of our Government, is empty—and the means resorted to, to fill it, is by issuing Government Seript—paper money! The Royal Gazette attributes the difficulties under which the Colony now labors, to ‘imprudent acts of a ma- jority of the Legislature, for a few years past.’ In the latter part of June, the weather had been so in- oe hotythat ithad been ten degrees beyond sum- mer heat.” Tne Ewa Yacur.—This pretty craft made her first appearance in our harbor on the Sth. She sa- luted the Warspite English Frigate, and the French man-of-war steamer La Gomer, and hoisting at the same time their respective national flags at her mast head. On passing the North Carolina flag ship, she lowered her ensign as a mark of respect, or in other words, her ladyship made her best curt- sey to our gallant Commodore. After performing some graceful evolutions through the fleet, she started forthe offing to try her properties in a sea way, where she has been cruizing some days, and appears to perform very satisfactory, asin her trial of sailing with some of our New-York, Pilot-boats, which can’t be beat on a wind, she was nearly a match for them. This argues well for the Emina, as itis her first essay, and she labored under many disadvantages, such as net knowing her best points of sailing, together with her sails and rigging not being properly stretched, &c., and perhaps Miss Em- ma_ had nother jib well bowed up. Success to her. Tue Larest—We received yesterday morning Boston papers five hours in advance of the mail. by the kindness of Harnden & Co., Adams & Co, and the officers of the steamer Cleepatra. Harnden gave us papers at 4 o’clock, which he received from Boston, via Springfield and Hartford.

Hint, Comedian. D Sates Hore, ines, Aug. 9, 1842. BY THE SOUTHERN MAIL, wi e {Correspondence of the Herald.) Wasuincron, ‘Wednesday, 3 P. M. The Veto—Mr, Adams’ Declaration of War —The Treaties—Lord Ashburton. The veto absorbs all interest in both wings of the Capitol. In the Senate, there has been nothing of much public interestdone. After some Private bu- siness, upon which there was a good deal of dull speaking, the bill regulating the compensation of persons in the Navy was taken up and is now under discussion. Mr. Adams led off the debate on the veto, and vio- lent and uncompromising he was to the last degree. He said the signature of the President to the tariff bill would have led to a perfect reconciliation be- tween the Executive andLegislative branches of the Government—every thing that had taken place would have been forgotten and forgiven, and this reconcilement would have been the har- binger of joyous and prosperous times to the people. But the bill had not been signed, and now, he said, the Executive and the Legisla- tive branches of the government were ina state of civil war. There was no remedy but that remedy which the people must take into their own hands. — War, Mr. Adams said, was now declared, and neither the President nor Congress could retrace their steps without disgrace. The issue is given and accepted, said Mr. Adams, and there is nothing but the contest, and Ipray to Heaven that it may not be decided by an appeal to the God of battle. Here there was a slight manifestation of derision, but it was soon suppressed, Mr. Adams went on with characteristic vehe- mence, declaring that he believed that the govern- ment was to be overthrown, and the blame must rest with the Executive—reiterating the idea that nothing could take place between Congress and the President, without disgrace on one side or Me other He concluded by moving that the vete message be referred to a select committee of thirteen, and upon this Mr. Morgan moved the previous question. Up, on this a squabble arose about points of order, all of which were overruled by the House, and Mr. Adams’s motion prevailed by a vote of 108 to 84. Mr, Coorer of Pennsylvania then moved to lay the bill on the table, and that motion is now before the House, and another dispute is in progress. The whigs held a caucus last night, but came to no conclusion as tothe action of Cor upon a revenue bill. It seems to be doubtful whether they will be able to agree upon anything. Lord Ashburton leaves this city ina few days for New York, where he is to embark in the Warspite for England. He carries with him, from the seat of Government, the esteem and respect of all who have met him officially or in the social circle. His mis- sion has been reine successful; while he has been jealously alive to the interests and honor of his country, he has been most courteous and liberal i im his intercourse with the agents of this government. The points solong in dispute between the two coun- tries have all been arranged—the treaties signed, and to-morrow they will be sent to the Senate for mtification. ‘A Inthe room of the committee on naval affairs, there is one of the most important inventions of the age, The government, as wellas the commercial marine, have offered to them a combination of steam hydrostatic power, and battery, most_admi- rably presented to view, The model exhibits a floating steam dock, to raise the largest line of bat- tle ship from her ee and carry her over any known bar on ourseaboard. Such, for instance, as at the debouche of the Mississippi, Mobile, Occro- koke, &e. &e. The vessel raised is taken up en- tirely, or so much aswill allow her to go clear of a bar, and when passed, gently lowered to her ele- ment; this without the slightest strain, with great ease and despatch. What willnotthe mind of man bring forth? And yet, how simple is this might ower. The hydrostatic power is daily seen in N. York and Philadelphia, applied on inclined rail- ways for drawing vessels up for repairs. In this invention, the hydrostatic 1s popiee to raise the largest ships perpendicular out of the water, and while so raised, to be carried across bars, or to be repaired, if injured. For raising stranded vessels, a beautiful effect is shown. She is raised bodily,so that if bilged,the water escapes,damaged goods are reco- vered, and the vessel repaired, andset afloat for her port of destination. Several ‘officers of wthe, navy, and navy contractors have expressed their high ad- miration of the inventor’s combination. Several such vessels sufficiently large to raise the largest in our navy, or commercial service, should be built by the government, which would put an end to the constant demand upon the Treasury for ir mense sums for removing bars and flats. “The in- ventor, Mr. Knight, deserves success. Baltimore, (Correspondence of the Herald.] Battimons, August 11, 1842. Mr. Eprror : There is nothing of alocal character this morning that possessed much interest.

Cooper, president of Baltimore,was thrown from his horse yesterday in thestreet, and so’ seriously injured that his life is despaired of. Tt is a fact, et Nt but true, that a very beautiful mock. ing bird, owned by Capt.

Philadelphia, {Correspondence of the Herald.} Pintapecenta, August 11, 1842. The “ Gladiator,” in which is coming over the wife and family of Maywood, is due at New York to-day. Miss Mary Maywood, who isto take the management of the Chestnut street house, is coming over in this vessel, but not Augusta. The latter will not visit this country for some months—probably not until late in the fall, and it may be not before spring. The venerable Miss Jenny Armstrong, whose face is so familiar to many here, ac- companies Mr. Maywood’s family on their return.

Of the Wal- nut I know nothing, but hear hag rae preparations a display ee , are on. wine ches'ot Ni holeon, which has been some two or three years before the Court, is again to be argued the last Saturday in thismonth, Thecharge against the defend- ant is forgery —having altered his employers books and by various pecilations amassed a fortune. Of this charge, after a long delay, he was convicted nearly a year ago.— ‘A part of which timesince he remained in prison, until, T believe, he was discharged in consequence of his health. He is now out en fheavy bail. In the first of the cause Judge Barton declined to take part in the hearing upon the trial, on the ground that he had been of counsel for the prosecution previously while Attorney Geueral. The case was then tried by Judges Conrad and Doran. After his conviction motions were made for a new trial, and for arrest of judgment, the the first of which was dismissed by the concurrent opin- ion of the two judges; upon the latter they were divided. Judge Doran being in favor of the motion, and Judge Courad over-ruling it, In this stage of the matter the counsel for Nicholson moved his discharge, and the conn- sel for the commonwealth subsequently moved and argue! before Judge Barton that he should participste in the and carry out the judgment of the Court pending verdict of the jury. ee this motion, Judge Barton ye: terday decided to hear the case with the other judges, on the motion originally made for an arrest of judjgment, and the lost Saturday of this month was fixed upon for hear- tng the argament by one counsel on each side.
