Steam Ship Columbi This beautiful vessel leaves for from Boston early on Tuesday morning. Conse- quently the New York Herald of to-morrow, wil! be made up especially for this occasion containing all the latest political, financial and commercial intelli- gence of the country Sngland again The Action of Congress about the Tart Position of the Whigs at Washington. In Washington all seems to be uncertainty, doubt and discord. No one scarcely seems to know what his neighbor and friend means to do next. The whigs, of course, are thrown into the most le Captain Tyler onfusion by this last “heading off” of And the tariff question, mixed up ribution, threatens to embarrass, and > the democratic party, so far as it is i in the present Congress. Nothing has yet been determined upon as to the action either whigs or democrats; but the tendency of towards the tariff that has been ve- toed, without the distribution. A portion of in Buren democrats are ready to unite as it is with d the with such of the wh as are willing to give up distribution forthe sake of the manufacturers, and pass the pending bill, after striking out dis- tribution the f al This movement will be resisted by ends of Mr. Calhoun, both from the north south, and the result is extremely doubtful, ‘The distribution men proper will not yield, and it may well be questioned whether enough of the will go for such a tariff as this its passage. The whigs are in as great danger of a division as the democrats, and the im- pelling eause ts stronger with them. Every thing is in the greatesteonfusion, and must remain so until the course of the majority shall be developed or in- presentation of the report of the veto ntime, we are happy to learn, both houses are Tue care Cueck APRON APPAIR IN THE Bowery, —We have before stated that Mr. Husted, said te be concerned in ims matter, went on to Philadel- phia, shaved his whiskers, and returned ugain. What he did there may be best learned from the following account of his visi It appears that he called on the editor of the * Spirit of the Times,” who thus describes his appearance, entree, and what followed :— It was a gentleman—not very tall—rather slim—dark straight hair, dark eyes, one of them smaller than the other, and affected somewhat with a Bennett’s squint—thin face—no whiskers—black hat, coat and pants. , “Sir,” said our visitor, “my name is Peter V. Husted, of New York. I am one ot the parties implicated in the Bow- ery Crim. Con. case of which you have taken so much no- tice. I’m an injured mai ill you do mea favor and assist me to establish my innocence 1” “Certainty »” we replied, somewhat surprised. He stated tous the sufferings he had undergone, and the legal an- noyances to which he had been subjected—said he was anxious te go out to Gray’s Ferry— wished to know if we would accompany him. “Any thing that promises an adv; after some farther conversation, determined to see the end of the matter, we started off in company with Mr. Husted and a friend of ours named Mayer, for Sans Souci... We got capital saddle horses at Carter’s,and in twenty minutes after, Were sipping some brandy and water at McAllis- ter’s. At our suggestion, Mr. Husted remained apart from us while we questioned the individuals present. One of the pers, a young man, named Thomas Roney, waited enture,” said we ; and y had quite an affair out here! Did you ever see the parties !” “Oh! every day” he repli- ed. “Would you know them if you saw them again ?”— “Indeed | wotild—particularly the younger man—the Mr. Morgan.” “Did {he look like any’ of us?” “No.” Just then Husted entered the bar room. “Did he look like that gentleman ?” Roney stared at him for a moment. “No,” he at length uttered, “he does look something like the Mr, Morgan, but he is not the man.” Are you sure of it ?” “Yes, I'm positive he’s not the man—I could swear to it.” We next requested the waiters, &c , to take a good look Mr. Husted to see ifthey could recognize m him the in- dividual who had sojourned there as Mr. Morgan with his soi desant lady. A colored boy 1 William Scott, after gazing at him intently said to us, “He looks like the Mr. Morgan a good deal; but he’s not him. He's got a shght squint like him too, and his figure is much like his, but th ot him, I’m very sure of that ” “Are you confident of it?” “Oh, yes, Pim v confident that this is not him, because T saw him last Wednesday week when he wrote the note to Mr. MeAllister—I me nthe person whocalled himself Morgan ‘This is not him.” Another negro waiter, when questioned, made the same replies, and was quite as positive. All declared they could recognize the pseudo Morgan at a glance, and that preparing for an adjournment at short notice. T e better. And if they had adjourned six o, the country would have thanked them sooner, months a heartily ‘Tus Treaty.—Our private advices from Wash- ington inform us, that there is no doubt of the con- firmation of the treaty,now befere the Senate,enter- tained by the leading men of either party in Wash- ington; and that no one apprehends any serious op- position even from a factious few; and consequent- ly little or no delay. Consequently, we may expect the ratification of this important measure to arrive in this city almost as soon, or perhaps before Lord Ashburton himself arrives—say Tuesday at the far- thest. Glory be to all concerned. Bring out the big gun again in the Park. Hoist the flags—ring the beils—but above all, let's have the grand /éte. The Elections, The returns received by our various mail papers orday were excessively meagre. Nevertheless e the coming results that cast shadows before y we think we can s the! Norru Carou is undoubtedly e Morehead the whig Governor ted. The locofocos have gained the Legislature, with a majority in joint ballot.— ‘This ensures a locofoco Senator to Congress in place of Mr. Graham, whose time expires. Mr. Clay has no chance here. Thirty locos and twenty whigs elected to the Senate ; locos have ten majority in the House. Avanama.—Gone all hollow for the locofocos- consequently the State Bank system is crushed to ec the earth. Twelve counties heard from in South Alabama, in which ten whigs and eight locofocos are elected. All the Northern counties have gone for the locofocos ; this not only preserves, but large- ly increases their majority. Iuuinois.—Here, Ford, the locofoco candidate for Governor, has been elected by nearly 7000: majori- ty. The locofocos nave also a majority in both branches of the Legislature. This result is sup- posed to have been brought about by Joe Smith and the Mormons. Clay clubs were formed all over th ‘e previous to the election, but they were of no vse. Invi —Very doubtful—both parties claim a majority. Nineteen senators are to be chosen, and no paper can speak confidently as to the result. The impression seems to be that the whigs will have the Senate, and the democrats the House, and that the former, by reason of its majority already in the Senate, will have a majority on joint ballot. The Indiana Sentinel (democrat) of the 5th inst., gives returns from nine districts, which have elected five democrats and four whigs. The Indiana Journal (whig) gives returns from fourteen senatorial dis- tricts, which have elected nine whigs and five democrats. The House of Representatives is com- posed of one hundred members. The Sentinel gives returns from counties which elect sixty-eight members, and says that thirty-eight of them are democrats and thirty are whigs, and that the loss and gain, so far, have been equal—each party has jost seven and gained seven. The Journal (whig) publishes returns from counties which elect seventy two members, and clasa@s them thirty-seven demo- crats and thirty-five whigs. Missovni.—No returns beyond St. Louis. The locos hold their own. Five members of Congres* are to be chosen at this election. Kentvcwy.—No certain result of the success of the “relief” men Honors ro Lorp Asusvrtoy.—Both Boards of Aldermen met yesterday afternoon to tender the use of the Governor’s room to Lord Ashburton dur ing his stay in this city next week. Alderman Jones presented the following pream- ble and resolutions which were unanimously adopt- ed:— Whereas,the Common Council of New York have iearn- ed that Lord Ashburton will arrive in this city within a few days ; and whereas, thi i ity to evince their regard for his distinguished , and their sense of the importance of his mission to this country : Therefore, Resolved, That His Honor, the Mayor, be requested to tender the use of the Governor's Room to Lord Ashbur- ton on his arrival, to receive the visits of our citizens,and that the Common Council wait on him and welcome him to this city Resolved, ‘That a Committee of three from each Board be appointed to call upon Lord Ashburton in this eity to carry into effect the foregoing resolutions. Aldermen Jones, Purdy and Underwood were ap- pointed on the part of the Board of Aldermen and Assistants Brady and ©. J. and W. Dodge on the part of the other Board. We understand that he will arrive in this city on Monday. ‘Tire Lecistature or THs Starr meets on Tues day to district the State, and perhaps, make fools of of themselves. We'll talk to these philosophers anon. Tae Ne Ruove Istanp Coxventiox.—The choice of delegates to this convention directed by an act of the acting general assembly of Rhode Is- land, to be held for the purpose of amending the constitution of that State, is to be made on Tuesday, the 30th of the present month. All native male citizens of the United States, except convicts, pau- &e., who are twenty-one years of age and up- wards, and who have had their permanent resi- dence within the State for three years, and within the town where they propose to vote for one year next preceding the time of voting, will be entitled to vote pers, ‘Tae Strrets.—We beg of the Corporation to commence to-morrow; and have the streets tho- roughly cleansed. They are in a disgraceful con- dition. Broadway inthe most frequented part (cor ner of Fulton) is blocked up because the stupid su- perintendents, after they had broken up the street, found that they had no cross or arm pipe to lead off froma the main pipe down Fulton street; consequently they have to wait until they can send to Baltimore and getone. Disgraceful management. ‘Tux Weatnes.—As fusual, yesterday, fair half the day, and foul the other helf, Husted, though resembling him, was not the indi vidual. A good-looking, stout, Irish chamber-maid was next ad: dressed by us. "I did not take so much notice of Mor. gan,” said she. “I looked at the old man.” “Why ?” Because he was old, and I begrudged him such a nice looking younger women. I never used to red up their chamber without thinking ot it.” We smiled.“ You needn’t stand there forenenst me with a grin. I thought they was man and wife. They acted like such, only they made too inuch through-other, They was too fond.” She and the cook spoke mysteriously as to Husted. ‘The: were afraid of going to court. They didn’t wish to speal Just then, the sound of approaching wheels was heard, and all exclaimed that Mr. McAlister was coming. Now for it, thought we, and meeting him before he reached the house, we requested him to look at the gentleman in blac! on the piazza, and say if he knew him, He cast a hast him. “Say no more,” said he “1 know all about him, Don’t ask me any questions.” “ You know him, then?” “Certainly,” he reptied, “ Will you oblige me by looking closely at’ him?” He walked into the bar room. Husted stood within two feet of him and before him, and they gazed into each other's face. McAuister ned puzéled. At last, turning round towards us, he said, “No; Iwas mistaken. This is not the man. ‘He does resemble him, but Ishould know him (the pseudo Morgan) out of a million. This is not the person who staid at my house as Mr. Morgan. 1am quite sure of it— fully and entirely convinced of it.” ‘This is all strong evidence: Husted. in favor of the innocence of We then requested McAllister to tell us all he ut it. “ Why,”s: “1 have just returned, from New York; I identified Mrs. Venables Morgan there—bold pieces they are, too -and I 1 Mr. Howe—he could not deny that he was one ir. Husted I never saw betore, and he is dividual. Indeed, Mrs, Morgan’s law, Mr. McKean, said he knew Mr. Husted was not the guilty one—that he knew who the man wat but did not choose to teil.” Did McKean say this to you “Yes, to me,” replied McAilister, “though he afterwards thought proper, after conversing again with Mrs. Morgan, to say that he thought Mr. Husted was the man.” McAllister now shewed us the note addressed to him by the pseudo Morgan, offering him $50 to keep quiet, &c. —we published the note in full yesterday. It was on a half sheet of letter paper, and did not appear to us to be written in a feigned hand. It was badly enough written both as regarded style and grammatical construction. “The person who wrote that note,” said McAllister, “came here on Wednesday week. He went into that pri- vate parlor. I was not at home. He wanted to sve me badly. He catled for pen, ink and paper. He wrote that note to bribe me to secrecy. Why { wouldn’t have been silent, and thus have been a party to his guilt forten thou- sand, let alone fifty dollars. And then he acted so feolish- ly —like a complete jackass. Why, after writing the note so privately, he left it open on the table for everybody to rend, and before I came home everybody about the house had read it” Truly, this is a strange affair, and exhibits a strange state of morals. InrerrstinG Boat Race.—Our readers remember that a few days since Roberts and Dorlon rowed with sculls in the Henry Stork and the Jacob Faith- ful, against each other, when Roberts beat. ‘The friends of Dorlon backed him for a second trial at $50 aside. Yesterday the match came off. They started from the Castle Garden, rowed round Bed- low’s Island, 24 miles out, and returned. Roberts won the race by 200 to 300 yards, doing the distance in 49 minutes; Dorlon did it in50 and 56 seconds. There was great excitement about it; the river and bay was literally covered with row boats ; several steamboats were filled with spectators, and the crews of the Warspite, North Carolina and Gomer cheered the combatants as they returned to the win- ning point. Tue Covrr MarriaL.—Every rational person is ready to explode with laughter at the folly of the de- velopments before the present court martial. One of the tried is told to go home and be a good boy ‘ SH] and another is told that he has neverdone anything wrong, and therefore ought not to have been tried. What a farce! Who's to blame? Return or Misstonanres.—The venerable Dr. Scudder, the oldest missionary of the American Board,with his wife and five children, have retumed from Madras. By the bye, the Board have received $300,000 in the last 10 months, and yet complain they can get ne one to go out as missionaries to a foreign land. What has become of the piety and enterprise of our young men ? Do they not get pay enough? What’s the matter? Lorp Asie This gentieman’s servants are busily engaged in packing up, and letters have been received in this city stating that he will probably arrive early in the week. He is expected to leave Washington on Monday next. Tux Vero seems to be well received all over the country by at least two thirds of the voting popula- tion. A good sign that the people know their own interests. Gov. Dorx.—This worthy is snug and safe at ene, N. H. He was there last Monday, parading openly in the streets arm inarm with an aid of Goy. Hubbard ; and his name is on the books of the hotel, K Wnie Crry Convention.—This body of the de- legates to the Syracuse State Convention have or- ganized by appointing Phil. Hone, chairman, and Tra Bull,and E.C Hulbert, Secretaries. That's all. Navat News.—The United States Ship of the Line Columbus, dropped down from the Navy Yard at Boston, on Thursday. Her destination is the Mediterranean, where she wiil be the Flag Ship. Her crew numbers eight hundred men.—- The following is a list of her officers : Cases of Divorce. Vice Chancellor’s Court, Before Vice Chancellor M’Coun. The following actions in divorce were disposed of by the Vice Chancellor on Tuesday, present a class ef cases in which the great mass is ly interested, not only in reprobation of the im course of the guilty, but to deter others from indulging in similar baneful con: duct. The penalty, too, is severe, prohibiting the defend- ant, on conviction, from marrying again during the life- time of complainant, while tgp latter is free as he or she was anterior to their being united. : Maria Helena Eliza Alerandria Augustine Virg Louisa De Boullion vs. Lazara Louis De Bouillon.—The complainant states that they were married at the Montice- nis department de sorne ei Loire, in France, in 1831, and came to the United States in 1832.

He contracted illness in consequence, and was laid up ce which the complainant hasnot lived withhim.

For the last twelve months he has only allowed her $3 a week for the support of herself and child, although he is well off, having been in the habit of vending Hunter’s Red Drop, and made a large sum of mo- ney by it. He has threatened, moreover, to take away the child, although the latter is in delicate health, requiring the mother’s care.

They occupied one room and one bed. supposed them to be a new married couple. She was about the middle height, with dark complexion, dark eyes, and about 17 or [8 years of age, a lively, bright girl, though thoughtless, apparently, and trifling. I do not think she was his lawful wife from what I have heart since. Divorce ordered, a vinculo matrimonii. i Maria Bertram vs. William R. Bertrom.—The complain- ant states that she was married to defendant in 1821, at Brooklyn, by the Rev. Mr. Pease, and had three children.

City Intelligence, Tre Croron Cecennation,—Several of the city papers have ignorantly stated that the procession in celebration of the introduction of the Croton Water was to take place ‘on the 10th of September. Such isnot the case, as no de- finite time has been fixed by the Common Council. Ronniwa a Farner axp a Brorner.—A young man named William McGill, who has heretofore borne a good character and who has resided in several families of re- spectability asa waiter, was arrested yesterday charged by his *rother and father of 464 Washington street, with breaking open their premises, and stealing clothing, Jew- elzy, &c., amounting to about $50.

There isalso a most excellent article on the trial of Madame Laffarge—another on Ignatius Loyola. _A first rate article on ‘Duelling” is here; and an inimitable one about the Beggars of London.

Dayton—Its Situation and Bminent Men—Politics —Temperance—Lawyers—Ladies—Finance. ~~ James Gorpon Bennerr, Esq.:— Dear Sir:-— As your valuable paper is sought after with much interest here, and read with avidity, and as you have a correspondent in almost every large town in the United States, I have thought that you might probably think our city worthy of notice, and I have accordingly sent you the following, which, if you publish, may probably induce me to send you from time to time such items as are of interest. Our city is situated about fifty miles north’ of Cin- cinnati, in the midst of the fertile valley of the Mi- ami. It contains a population of about 8000 inhabi- tants, and is one of the handsomest towns in the western country. The streets are very wide, and intersect each other at right angles. The city is embellished by numerous splendid private residences and our churches are built upon a magnificent scale. More than one hundred and fifty thousand dollars have been expended here in the erection of these religious edifices within a few years. This bespeaks much for the piety of our citizens, and we are, in- deed, a very pious, upright, moral, and church- going people. ¢ ae There is a great deal of real substantial capital in the place, and many men of great wealth. Amon; these are H. G. Philips, a man of much veactial sense, and great financial knowledge; William Eaker, also_aman of excellent sense and sound iodathents Jonathan Harshman, Hoffman and others. There are a Jarge number of manufacuring estab- lishments in the city, and an immense quantity of water power, the ore third part of which has never been brought into requisition. __ Dayton might be made decidedly one of the greatest manufacturing towns in the west. A slight, but permanent increase of the tariff on foreign imports is all that is necessary to start manufactories here of every description. It pos- sesses many important advantages. Everything in the provision line is very cheap and abun- dant, and the surrounding country is so fertile as to be able to furnish an inexhaustible supply. With two shillings you can go to market here, and supply a small family with provisions fer the week. Eggs have sold here recently for two cents per doz. Butter3 cents per Ib., corn 10 cents per bushel, ba- con 1 cent perlb., and other things in proportion. There are many very extensive business establish- ments in the city, and a large amount of capital is employed in shipping the immense quantities of pro- duce which are brought in from the surrounding country, and sent off to Cincinnati or New Orleans. There are any quantity of lawyers here,and some very talented preachers. Parson Hall, of the New School Presbyterian church, is a lion, and he is ex- tensively patronized by the fashionables and the lite- rati of the place. 5 . The temperance cause fleurishes here, and for a time carried every thing before it. The society numbers about 3000, or nearly one half of the whole population. It has done much The two political parties in this county are nearly equally divided. Sometimes the whigs have the as- cendancy, saccess of either depends much upon the character of the individuals up before the public. General apathy pervades the ranks of both partieshere just now, and it will be prety hard for the leaders to raise a breeze this fall. Among the most charming of our numerous belles in this city, are the beautiful, dignified, amiable and sensible Miss M. B. E—k—r, the lively, dark eyed, fascinating Mivs T—st—on; the capricious, interest- ing, and accomplished Miss E. A. H—It, and her retty sister; the charming Miss E.G——n, the autiful, witty, and lively Miss E. F——ds, or the “lassie wie the lint white locks;” the handsome Miss E. B—c—n; the highly accomplished and agreeable Miss E. H—If—n, and a host of other an- gelic creatures, and sometimes the democrats, and the “ Of such charming, graceful mien ‘That to be loved, need but to be seen.” If any of your young buckish bachelors wish to splice themselves, Dayton is the very place for them. They can suit themselves here as to either riches, beauty or accomplishment. ne? a Our city has suffered less from the revulsions in trade than anyother Western town. The mania of speculation raged here but to alimited degree, and the business operations of our, citizens were predi- cated upon a substantial basis. Times are hard here, it is true, and business dull, yet when we com- pare our situation with that of most of the Western cities, we have reason to congratulate ourselves that it is no worse. For this we are imJebted,in some‘de- gree,to the prudent conduct of the Dayton Bank. Had she been as liberal in her discounts as some of the neighboring shinplaster factories, our citizens would no Toubt now be as deeply involved as those of oth- erpiaces. The Bank hasbeen managed prudently, and has maintained her credit, and continued spe- cie payments in the midst of all the suspensions and explouons of the surrounding institutions. mr EKE.

Bennett— Dear Sir— 6 Our polls have closed, the election in the city is over, peace and quiet is again restored, the broils, fights and quarrels, the usual concomitants of elec- tions, have ended, the mechanic has again return- ed to his diurnal labor, the merchant to his business, the clerks to their wearisome and confining duty,and the loafer that hangs around the polls, anticipating a treat from some one to influence his vote, has re- sorted to his old haunts and habits to procure his Tog. ' A greater excitement prevailed during the elec- tion than was at first anticipated. On the morning of the election odry bilious looking hand bill was offices in the city (general!

The handbill is generally believed to have been issued by one of he friends of the locofoco candidate. hand bill, however, had quite a contrary effect to what was expected, as it was a call upon the foreigners to vote for the locofoco candi- date, and not for Mr. Glover, and a counter lick was siven by the issue of another handbill from the whig office, denying the base charge which was the cause of many voting for Mr. Glover that perha otherwise would have cast their votes {or Mr. Pope.

Mr.S., one of the school committee, struck Dr. B., a respectable professional gentleman of our city, who has taken a very conspicuous part incensuring Mr. S. for his conduct as rege the city schools. The Dr. chanced to be whit with his knife at the time. _S. struck him, and he imme- diately used it as a defence, wounding Mr. 53. We have here a young lawyer, who once in the court room got up to address the judge, at being his first attempt. The case was very unimportant. He said, “‘ May itplease your honor—” His henor suddenly cheeked him by saying— Yes, by resuming your seat; the case requires no argument.” This young man got a beating from a brother barrister during the election. In the county one whig and one locofoco has been elected—Thomasson and Miller. Throughout the State, relief and anti-relief, locofoco and whig, will enter into the contest. The relief candidates are expected to carry the day ; but so far as heard from, the result is rather favorable to the whup: m the sign of the election here, a person will not hit far trom the mark when he says that a Common- wealth bank will be established. The one that we once had should warm them against such a measure. Should another be established, her issues will be half depreciated in value at first start, for it will be utterly impossible to issue it dollar for dollar. Un- der such circumstances it will so go, where a great many other rag concerns have long since gone. _ _ Our new theatre isnowin progress. It is build- ing on the corner of Fourth and Green. Coleman is the superintendent. Messrs. Dinneford and Lo- gan are here with their Soren from Cincinnati, and igtend opening the old theatre on Saturday night. Mr. D. has ulso made arrangements for the erection of a theatre on Pearl street. He has alrea- dy leased the ground, and will in a few days be un- der way with his building. The energy and enter- prise of the man your citizens are doubtless ac- quainted with, as he built the Bowery in fifty-four working days. He generally completes his designs in less time than others would occupy in conceiving such projects. i Business is very dull, money scarce, and river ve- ry low. There is scarcely a boat at our wharves, and none stop for more than a day. Yours, L—e. *Whigs. {Locofoco. §Postoffice sucker. {Tylerite. Buffalo, [Correspondence of the Herald.] Burrato, Aug. 7th, 1842. Business Matters—Finance—Great Excitement— Buffalo and Altica Railroad—Temperance—City Improvements—Whig Candidate for Congress, §c. James Gorpon Bennett, Esq.— Dear Sir— Having been absent from our city several weeks, T have not been able to fulfil the engagements which J made in my last letter. But ( will now en- deavor tomake amends, by giving you all particu- lars of importance that can’be of interest to your numerous readers. Since my last, business has, to a certain extent, decreased. This has caused some complaints among our mercantile men. The prospect for fall business is not as fair now as it was in the spring.— This is considered the dullest part of the business season here, and at all events, a person would judge so, from the tardy movements of our business men. Money, comparatively speaking, is very scarce ; but what little there is in circulation is current, or nearly so. This is a quality which will, in a mea- sure, make up for the deficiency. The resumption of specie payments by the western banks, has afford - ed some relief to our business community, but how long they will continue requires the prophetic power of vision to determine. One great embar- rassment which we heretofore had to contend with, has arisen from the want of a sound circulating me- dium. Prudent and enterprising men, who have ca- pital, will hesitate to make investments when there 1s risk of their losing from this cause. The effect of this has operated seriously upon those who were dependent, in a measure, upon the capitalists. This would not be the case had we a circulating medium in whichwe could place that degree of confidence which is indispensably necessary toa healthy and flourishing business; and until we have this, the same oscillatiens in business affairs will continue. In the absence of political or religious excitement, the mind will seek its natural element, in the cir- cumstances which arise. This has been exempli- fied in relation ,to the Buffalo and Attica Railroad. The company having nearly completed their road, made application #6 the Common Council to enter the city and terminate their road at a certain point, most favorable to them, as well asto the city. A meeting of the citizens was called, for the of expressing their opinion, er rather choosing the most proper place for terminating the road. Some were adverse to its enteringithe city, but if it must enter, they would designate the north part of the city as most beneficial to them. Now, itis little singular to observe the _argu- ments made use of by many of our citizens. Those interested in the upper part of the city thought this the most proper part for terminating the , as passengers would have to pay for the transportation of their baggage to the steamboats ; and they might also be detained by their not knowing the exact time of the departure of the boats. Those owning land near the wharf, thought it would be a less nui- sance to the business population to have the road terminate there than in any other part of the city. — Pro publico. 5 . The temperance cause continues to triumph, and is winning many of our most prominent characters. Last week the judge of the Recorder’s Court, trea- ted resolution for the last time, and nobly went and signed the pledge. That he might not be accused of any other motive than a total abhorrence of all in- toxicating drinks, he said, “Gentlemen, I wish to have itdistinctly understood that Ido not sign this ledge for the purpose of fitting any person to vote fer me for Con; for the ture, or for any office!” Dr. Flint delivered a lecture a few evenin; since, on the pathology of intemperence, before the dies’ Temperence Society. This was a very in- teresting lecture, and there was a considerable num- ber present. Dr. Flint exhibited the plates of the human stomach; showing the progress of disease originating from intemperance. But with the ad- vance of temperance,we are "hae learn that there is also an advance in the “healing art,” as the Dr. says that the disease in any of its stages, is still within the reach of medical treatment, er in other words, is capable of being cured. Oh, the never ending progress of the arts. ? There are some considerable improvements being made in our city this season. Much credit is due the Common Council for the happy suggestion of grading and planting the terrace with trees. This will make a beautiful grove in the summer season, in which poetry and love will find a safe retreat.— We may soon expect to hear the song— “ Meet me by moonlight alone,” In the grove on the terrace. This will be a decided improvement to the city, and may perhaps surpass some of your parks, as graves looks the lake and the beautifpl and majestic } ira river. is ince the Hon. Millard Fillmore has delined serv- ing in Congress another term, it is reported that he has nominated as his successor Dr. Emmons, of Springville. Whether he will be the favored one among the whig party, is not at present known, but many speak of him in terms of the highest commen- dation,as a man well worthy of the distinguished of- fice. Dr. Emmons is a man well known throughout Erie county, a prominent member of the whig par- ty, and has represented them in the Legislature. He possesses a good mind, with this enduring quali- ty—when “sure he’s right, he goes ahead.” Yours, Cato.

BY THE SOUTHERN MAIL. ‘Washington. {Correspondence of the Herald.) ‘Wasurnetoy, Friday—8 P. M. Congress—The Tariff—The Probability, The Senate have been engaged all day on private bills—nothing of the least public interest. In the House,the only business of importance was the refusal to receive the revenue bill offered by Mr. C. J. Ingersoll. On the question of reception the vote stood ayes 43, noes 118. So the re-enactment ofthe compromise act, as it existed in 1839, is out of the question. The fortification bill, appropriating $280,000, will probably pass to-morrow. Mr. Cost Johnson gave notice of a bill to provide arevenue forthe ordinary and current expenses of the Government, and to pay the public debt—to sus- pend the distribution of the proceeds of the public lands—and to provide for the payment of the debts of the States by the issue of — percent stock in sums of not less than a hundred, nor more than a thousand dollars. This script to form a currency for the country. In relation to the course to be pursued by either party on the subject of the Tariff, every thing is in the greatest possible contusion. ‘Wasurneron, Friday evening. The Senate spent the entire day on private bills. The fortification bill was reported to the House late in the afternoon, and aftera small squabble it was laid on the table by a very large majority. Mr. Fillmore said he was opposed to the bill unless there was to be some provision for supplying the demands upon the @reasury. Opinions are still various and contradicting as to the action of the House upon the subject of the tariff, but the prospect of bencficial legislation seems to grow darker every hour. The ultra whigs, profess to have doubts whether the President would sign the pending bill with the dis- tribution clause stricken out, and this is to be one of the excuses for doing nothing. There is no ground for any such doubt. The readiness of the President to sign such abill, how- ever objectionable he may regard some of its provi- sions, is plainly to be inferred from the veto mes” sage, and the pretended apprehensions of the ultra whigs, is a subterfuge of the shallowest kind. The President is willing to stretch a point rather than permit the manufacturing and mechanical interests to be prostrated by the influx of foreign goods at the present ruinously low rate of duties; but the ultra whigs do not intend to give him an opportunity. They are determided to do nothing, in the hope to throw upon the President the responsibility of de- stroying the manufacturing establishments of the country. We shull see whether they have the har- dihood to prosecute the warfare upon the Executive at the expense of the Nation. Two naval nominations were sent to the Senate te- day. Commander Gwinn to be a Post Captain in the place of Captain Clack, dismissed, and Lieut. Gerry in place of Commander Gwinn. Baltimore. [Correspondence of the Herald.} Bartimoue, August 13, 1642.

The question of who shall fill the office of Presiding Judge of the General Sessions, after it is vacated by Judge Barton, is beginning to occupy considerable atten- tion. Joel B. Sutherland, of this city, and Anson V. Par- sons, at preeent Secretary of State, are most prominently named in connection with the post. To the latter gentle- man there exists but the single objection, if it be one, that it will be another importation of the administrators of justice in our courts. This has been one of the points of clamor against Judges Barton, Jones, kc., and also against several prosecutors of the pleas, as they arc termed with you—Deputy Attomey Generals. A former incumbent of this office was a nephew of the Go- vernor from the conntry, andthe present Deputy is the Governor’s son. These matters have excited some feel- ing among the lawyers of our own city, and may o prejudicially to the appointment of Mr. Parsons to the va- cant Judgeship. But it should not, and I hope will not, in favor of a less worthy man. Mr. Parsons possesses the requisites of talents anu integrity to give the public confidence in the Court—and unless this confidence is en- tertained, be its decisions and its acts as pure as they may, dissatisfaction and excitement must ever attend its pro- ceedin, It is a question important to ask, “ Has the course of Mr. Sutherland been such as to inspire the public with any particular confidence in him as a J ” Mr. 8. has been a politician, and in his public speeches now rather boasts of, than shrinks from, the little underplots intrigues that marked many of his successes. I do not mean to say that there was any- wrong in any Sige movements of a tative, y ii leslie et seat ation for a man to an office that is surrounded with ake and all the worst ournature. The dividual who shall be placed the bench of this Epon court at this time, should be like Gesar’s wife, “ not cx pure but above suspicion.” For the quiet of our city an the restoration of confidence in our Judiciary—without meaning in the slightest to reflect that any one of the pre- sent judges has meritedly lost that confidence—and with- out a personal prejudice to Mr. Sutherland, I trust that he may not receive the appointment. Upon any other bench than that of the General Sessions, he it be of service ; but upon thet, the chances of fav le and a quiet ca- inst him.
