It is yet uncertain whether any public féte will be given his Lordship. All the Boz blockheads are so much ashamed of their con- duct, that none comes forward. No matter—the séte of James G, King will be given, and no mis- take. This will be the great /éte of 1842. Vast pre- parations are making.

Mai formerly employed by us to command our news fleet was removed by Mr. Curtis, because Col. Webb thought Martin was too friendly to the Herald.— Admirable reason! Webb wrote a letter to the Col- lector demanding the removal of Martin, and the thing wasdone. It is a queer thing that Captain Tyler’s dearest friends here are controlled by his bit terest enemies. A little ‘‘suspended animation” as John Q. Adams calls the effects of the veto on the ultra whigs, is wanted in New York very much. Tue “Youno Democracy oF AMERICA”. Tr Prorosep Barrery Mass Meetino.—The prepara tions for this meeting are going ahead very fast.— The “ young democracy” must beware of the tricks of the “old democracy,” and the “old clo’ men.” We hear that Noah and his little clique intend to take the meting in their own hands, and turn it to the account of the charlatans attached to the Cus and Post Office.

Governor Seward will veto any apportionment bill, and the whigs will electioneer on internal im provements, and drive the democrats to do the same. The State will then ran into more debt— call upon the banks to loan their money—and both state and banks will run the same career that Penn- sylvania has done, and end where she has ended.

Result of the Caucus Deltberations—The Vetoed Tariff Bill—“ Third Party.” ‘The whigs agreed in caucus last night—a majori- ty of them, only by the way—to offer a resolution in the House this morning instructing the Commit. tee on Ways and Means to report the vetoed Tariff Bill, striking out the section repealing the distribu- tion proviso, and providing that tea and coflee shall come in duty free, when imported ia Ameri- can vessels, Accordingly, Mr. McKennan of Pennsylvania, of- fered a resolution this morning] declaring it expe dient to pass the bill with those modifications, Objec- tions were made, and Mr. McKennan moved a suspension of the rales. The ayes and nays were ordered, and the vote stood ayes 108 to 85. Two-thirds being required, the motion failed. ur. Charles Brown, of Penn- sylvania, then offered a resolution, that the House go into Committee of the Whole, and take up the bill for remedying such defects as may exist in the revenue laws, and soamend them astto provide ade- quate revenue for the government. Objections being made, a motion to suspend the rules was made, which failed, ayes 113, noes 81—two-thirds being necessary. A motion was then made to re- consider the vote of the House refusing to suspend the rules to receive Mr. McKennan’s resolution. — Upon this motion, the vote stood, ayes 130, noes 70 The motion to suspend was then renewed and re- jected—~ayes 121, noes Mr. Cost Jounson then moved to take up the vetoed tariff bill, and the motion prevailed bya very large majority, and Mr. J. took the floor. He spoke his hour, when Mr. Arnoip caught the speaker’s eye, and called the previous question. The call was sustained, and the vote was taken on the motion to re-consider the vetoed tariff bill. ‘The vote stood ayes 91—noes 87—a majority of 4— precisely the same as that by which this vote was ccusoaly passed, when there were fifty more mem- bers in the House The result is as far remote as ever. The movement of the whigs this morning looks like a feint merely. They desire to exhibit to the country a dispositionto Spel te measures asare demanded by the country, hut they stickle on points ofhonor, or consistency, or pride, and refuse to doany thing unless they can have their own way. The resolution of Mr. McKennan was offered in such a manner as to insure its rejec- tion. It was known that a motion to suspend the rules, requiring a two thirds vote, could not prevail. i whigs were in earnest, they could get up any b thes, please. Nothing is easier. They might have adopted the motion of Mr. Brown, and once in Committee of the Whole, it is competent forthe ma- jority to take up anything that has been referred to the Committee. Everything considered, the result is just as doubtful as ever. If the whigs undertake te pes the bill.as agreed upon in caucus, they will fail, and nothing will be done. Some other plan might be successful—this cannot. No man knows what is to be done. There will probably be another caucus to-night, and possibly something will be agreed upon. The proceedings of the Senate have not been of mueh consequence to-day. The contingent appro- priation, with some amendments, has finally passed, ind will go back to the House to-morrow. ‘The re. port of the committee of conference on the two army bills, was concurred in. Between one and two o'clock, the Senate went into executive ses- sion on the treaty. The third nade policy isnow exploded in all quar- ters. The absurdity of such an enterprise has be- come too apparent even for the office seekers to per- sist in it. No practical results were ever anticipated from the movement, but at one period, when the in- difference of the democrats towards the administra- tion seemed to render it doubtful what. was to be the course of the party, a few sincere friends of the President thought ‘that a decided demonstra- tion in his behalf might be productive of bene- ficial consequences, and they; countenanced the thing in various sections of the country.— But the purposes of the democracy are no lon- ir matter of question. The administration of President Tyler is to be triumphantly sustained, and all efforts at a separate organization hereafter must be regarded by President Tyler asa move- ment of pretended friends. The democratic party are obviously prepared to meet him on the common gtound of principle, and associations of ‘ peculiar friends,” can be.of no avail whatever. There isno necessity for any such organisation, and the Presi- dent will not countenance the movement in any way City Intelligence. Tue Ovscene Books —Richard Hobbes, printer, of East Chester, was arrested by officers Stephens and Lowe on Wednesday evening, at his residence im the above named village, and brought to this city yesterday morning. a appears that notice had been sent tohim by a certain printer, on Tuesday night, of the arrest of his agents in this city, which gave him an opportunity to remove nearly all the books and sheets in his printing office pre vious to the arrival of the officers. He confessed his par- ticipation in the publication of these disgusting books, and on arriving at the police office acknowledged to Jus- tice Matsell the whereabouts of three boxes that had been sent to this city, and which were subsequently found by the officers and deposited in the Tombs. He was admitted to bail in the sum of $2,000, and William Applegate, printer, appeared as seeurity. Charles P. Heustis, of the corner of Ann and Nassau streets, is held asa witness against him, and is not committed as was previously stated. All thejothers who have been arrested, have beenjadmitted to bail in the sum of $1000, except Robinson, who entered in the sum of $2,000 with other sureties. We understand that hal( the small book stores and stands about our city are supplied with atin trunk or case filled with « variety of the books from Hobbes’s printing office, which are solid on eommission. We advise them to send back their boxes and documents without delay, or the police will lend a hand to help them. Ross, THE SwixpieR, Cacew.—This rogue, who was bailed out by Judge Lynch, (whe took aman named Stew- art as security, os was perfectly worthless,) was arrest- ed yesterday merning about two o'clock, by officer Stok: ly, at the corner of Chambers street and Broadway, while entering a cab in which Stokely had stowed himself while on his scent. He was accompanied by Pete Ryerson, and several other of like ilk, who no doubt were aiding in his escape. He appeared excessively pleased to find Stokely at that hour in the morning, and said he had been looking for him all over town! When desired to move towards the Tombs, he begged hard, and Ryerson capped in to ersuade the officer that he would appear “as man of Ronor,’’at 10o'clock precisely. It was no_ go, however, and Mr. Slippery Ross was safely landed in limbo, where his partners should also be tekeep him company. In the courseof the day complaints were entered by Charles Brugiere & Co, of 74 Beaver street, who he had swindled out of 238 dollars worth of segars: Picabia & Manzando, of 49 Liberty street, also of $37 50 worth of segars, Barclay and Livingston of $80 worth of mushroom catsup, and Luc Palmieri of 51 Broad street of about $80 worth of olive oil, besides others, of smaller amounts. ‘The gang to which this swindler belongs comprises about twenty in number, A portion of them club together at their rooms in Wall and New streets, where they keep a cook and all the necessary conveniences for meals. ‘They number some of the smartest and shrewdest rogues that ever in- fested our city, and among them are several highly ac- complished, who speak nearly all the languages of Europe, which is a great assistance to the furtherance of plans among our German and French importing houses, who have been their victims time and again. To sustain character, they give as references some one of the nother, and thus to a third until the satisfied that all is right. The goods are generally sold at auction, and the pro- ceeds divided among those swindlers who are in the pool. Many of them rent offices, which are well furnished and the clerks filled up with their partners in rascality. John Murphy, the clerk of Ross, was also arrested yesterday, and held to bail in thesum of two thousand dollars, to ap- pear as a witness against Ross. Rerursino Sexses,—The writ of habeus corpus in the case of Otis Allen, the counterfeiter, was made returnable on Friday, (this day) the 18th inst.

Mr. Weils deserves credit for this movement. A Tovcn wes pone vr.—On Saturday night last, Mr. H. W.Cook, who had imprudently entered the house 210 Centre street, was robbed of nearly a $1,000 in bank notes by the inmates of the premises. Notice being given to offi- cers Stokely and Clark, ied arrested three colored ae found in the house, named Statira Golder, Rachel Lee, and Mary Smith, the former of whom committed the rob- bery, but no money was found in their possession. It was afterwards ascertained that the funds had been passed over to the care of a colored man named Thomas Randall, who had eloped to Ba where officer Clark caught him on Wednesday night, and brought him on yesterday morning. His arrest has led to information that will, in all probability, secure the recovery of nearly all the mno- ney stolen. Randall and the three wenches are safe in prison. Covnpy’r come 1t.—Alexander Danforth, one of the most expert burglars and thieves that ever graced a pri- son, was brought betore Judge Lynch yesterday, ona writ of habeas corpus. Recent developements prompted the Judge to demand two sureties in the sum of $2,000 each, for his appearance, which not be ing obtained, he was sent back to prison.

This isthe sixth charge against him. Who is to bail him out for that horse and cart ? Arsox.—The alarm of fire yesterday morning about ene o'clock, proceeded from the burning ofa porter house next door tu Ridge street in Delancy, occupied by a German named Joseph Helmack. The firemen, on entering the building, satisfied themselves that it had been set on fire, and Helmack was arrested and sent tothe Tombs. Anum per of pieces of pitch pine were piled round a demijohn of Tum, and set on fire, and the floor was also burning in seve- sal other places. Svicips.—A man named Charles W.

From ‘Ro1x.—We regret to learn from Capt. Hill, of the brig William Thatcher, at this port from St, Croix, that the island is suffering much from the effects of long continued drought, which has de- stroyed the prospects of a good sugar crop. Last season only about six thousand hogsheads were raised, and the next will not even equal that. The planters are very much nibs Taso: and the go- vernment has even had to purchase five or six hun- dred hogsheads of corn meal te support the negroes on some estates. The scarcity of money prevents any thing being done in American produce, for which the market is extremely dull, and prices no- minal. At St. Thomas, also, the market was over- stocked anddull.—Philadelphia Gazette, Aug. 18. From Sr. Crorx. New York Leaistarure.—On Wednesday, Root spoke against the suspension law. Mr. Faul ner presented the proceedings of a public meeting of citizens of anys Broome, New York and other counties, on the sul yect of the New York and Erie Railroad, which on his motion was laid on the table, to be calied up at a more convenient opportunity. Mr. Dickenson followed with similar petitions from Steuben. Mr. Faulkner offered a concurrent resolu- tion rescinding so much of the joint resolution of the 1th of April last_as limits the action of the extra session to a specific’subject ; in order to permit the introduction of a concurrent resolution authorizing the Comptroller to buy in the New York and Erie Rail Road, on behalf of the State—this lies on the ta- ble one day, under the rule. In Assembly Hoffman sp against the Message. In relation to the ap- portionment, Mr. Humphrey called up the resolution appointing a committee to district the State. He moyed to lay it upon, the table, with the view of taking up a joint resolation which he understood had been received from the Senate. Mr. Loomis said, with the assent of the House, he would withdraw the resolution offered by him yesterday and now nn- der consideration, and with the view of saving to the House the benefit of the labors of the committee of sixteen, offer a resolution confirming their acts, and that they report their plan of districting the State to the House. The resolution was adopted. The joint resolution from the Senate was then read. It proposes to raise aselect committee of five of the Senate and eight of the House, to district the State. Mr. Loomis moved the coneurrence of the House in the resolution. The House adjourned without any definite action.

After the mail closed this afternoon, Mr. Adams’ report on the veto was adopted by the House—Yeas 100—Nays 80. The vote was then called on the re- solution amendatory ofthe constitution, and stood thus: ayes 98, nays 90. Two thirds being required by the constitution, the resolution was lost. Mr. Marshall moved a reconsideration, and made a very able speech of half an hour, in opposition to the resolution. Mr. Wise followed on the same side, and Mr. Cushing is to speak to-morrow. ‘The Senate sat to a late hour in executive session on the treaty. There will be some six oreight votes against its ratification. Everything is still in doubt and confusion here.— ‘The whigs have ceased all effort and consultation.

Time will not allow me to enquire into the circumstances. A large gathering of the Whigs took place last evening at Union Hall. There were numer patriotic resolu- tions offered.

We had again last night, another pretty heavy shower of rain, accompanied with much thunder and lightning. It is still to-day, however, very warm. Business inactive, the stock of Flour and Grain increasing, and the price slightly falling. ‘The pretest of the “old man eloquent,” as the whigs have lately been pleased to designate Mr. Adams, made its appearance here by due course of mail yesterday after- noon, and was issued in anJextra. It, however, created less exeitement than was anticipated. Even his friends, orrather the supporters of Mr. Clay, are greatly cha- grined and disappointed at the contents of the document. Expectations was up to the highest, and frome the flourish mate in raising thecommittee with Mr.A. at its head, a perfect extinguisher was anticipated. Nothing beyond a small grease spot was expected to be left to tell where once wasJohn Tyler. Every unprejudiced man, that I have heard speak of it, characterises it as I do, the whining of “ headed” and disappointed political hacks,"clothed in the Jangusse of Speers old man. The report of Mr. Ingersoll is expected here this afternoon, and from his known ability at satire and ridicule, a repast of no ordinary richness is anticipated. ci Thetwo tances recited below, in connection with the fact that many thousands are unemployed in our city, willatford some idea of the suffering in our midst. On ‘Tuesday morning a poor white man was detected bya butcher taking a piece of meat from his stand in Market street. .Hetbouged to be let ofl, plending his poverty:and the suffering of his family for want rs An offer was made by a gentleman to pay the price of the beef, which the buteher-declimed taking, at the same instant saying, “Iwill make him a present of it, as no doubt his case isa hard one.” ‘A circumstance of a similar character occurred last week, but the butcher, instead of stopping the man, quiet- ly followed him to his home, and upon going into the house, was astonished to see the children of the poor fel- low greedily devouring the raw meat, with an avidity that could only arise from famine, while the father sat looking on unmindful of his own’ sufferings. ‘This was too much for the sensibilities of the butcher, who left the house with precipitation, but soon returned, having suc- cessfully exerted himself to procure relicf for this stary. ing family.

When charged with the offence he confessed the fact, and gave up agold watch and some’ jewelry which he stated he had purchased with the money. ‘The goods, such as laces, gloves, stockings and silks, the latter made into dresses, were recovered from a female to whom he had presented them, and who it appears was un- der his kind care and keeping.

My face was one continuous sore, from which a discharge of matter and wa- ter kept constantly oozing out. People avoided me, sup- posing I had the small pox, or some other infectious disease, and I was consequently obliged to relinquish my business. Notwithstanding I had the best medical advice and tried different plans of treatment, the disease continued to grow worse, untill gave up in despair.

Daniel Webster comes in for aslice as ‘ustial—$10,000 half paid. But we proceed with the list at the New York office to-day, annexed to this article. A most remarkable fact has been discovered in relation to the stock ofthe Bank of Kentucky, which places in a singular light the attempt of the parties to repudiate the contraet with Messrs. Little & Co. We have twice pub- lished a copy of the stock of the Kentucky Bank express- ing that “it is deliverable by transfer on the books of the bonk or by attorney.” It appears now that the reading of the stock has been altered during the past year. The stock certificates that were outstanding when the con- tract was made and matured, were worded as follows .— THE UNION BANK ACTING AS THE Aq BANK OF KENTUCKY, AT LOUISVILLE. No. Be it known, that entitled to Shares in the Capital Stock ofthe Bank of Kentucky, of one huudred dollars each, transferable at the Union Bank in thecity of New York, by the said—— or Attor- neyupon surrender of tit certificate. ew York, 183 Shares, (Signed,) DAN’L, EBBF.TS, Cashier. Here it will be observed that the delivery of the stock is by surrender of the certificate with a power. This was the condition of transfer at the time of the contract of Boor- man, Johnston & Co., with Jacob Little & Co. matured. The right of property consisted in the possession of the certificate, which certificate was tendered by Messrs. Littte & Co. to make good their contract. The stock was refused because a transfer could not be be made on the books of the bank. The stook was purche. sed on account of Thomas Smith, Esq., of Newcastl Kentucky. That person became a director of the bank in May, 1841. Wenow find that the certificates issued since his accession to the directory have the words “by surren der of this certificate” omitted from their face. These are facts that place the ageney of Messrs, Boorman, Johnston & Co. inno envianle light. Those gentlemen, by the di- rection of Mr. Smith, and misled by the advice of counsel, refused to accept a legal transfer in a manner expressod and provided on the face of the certificate. We should imagine that on the discovery of the error, into which they have been led,that they would come forward and set the matter right. There is another singular feature.— ‘They say they took the “advice of counsel.” It isto be presumed that advice was that of Daniel Lord, Esq., their retained counsel. If 80, that gentleman, as one of the refferees, was called to pass judgment upon his own ad- vice. In relation to the stock of the State of Kentucky, to which we alluded yesterday, it appears that several cou- pons have been paid on bonds, the numbers of which are lower than those of some bonds previously issued. The first bonds issued were printed on course paper, and at the suggestion of R. Stealy, Fsq., of Frankfort, an influe: tial citizen of Kentucky; plates were engraved, and new bonds issued on fine paper. Some of these latter bonds ar it appears, of lower numbers than those of the course pi per. This is attempted to be occounted for,by supposing an error of numbering a series often. ‘That is to say from 11 to 1300 were numbered as from 10to 1200. This is sugmise, however, but the matter will be cleared up as soon as re- turns can be received from Kentucky, The manner of suing the bonds was as follows :— ‘The legislature of last winter authorised the issue of scrip, ofthe denominations of $5, redeemable in $1000, six per cent bonds, when the amount of $1000 should be presented. This scrip was issued by the Northern Bank of Kentucky, as the agent ef the State, bonds being de- posited with the bank, forthe redemption of the scrip.— These bonds, in order to bear interest only from the time of their issue in redemption of the scrip, are regu larly numbered, but are not dated until redeomed in scrip, and hence some discrepancy may be apparent in the num- bers and amount of interest on\the first coupon. There are but 60, coupons upon each bond, and as they run 80 years, and are dated at the timeof issue, there are consequently §61 collapses required, there being two fractional ones,'the first and last, and hence it isthat the las! fractional coupon is written on the back of the body of the bond by the Secretary of State. There have been some bonds presented at the Bank of America, the num bers of which appear irregular; and this the officers think entirely attributable to inadvertence, and can be easily rectified. All law authorising the issue of bonds in Ken- tucky limit the commissioners of the sinking fund to the capacity of the fund to pay the interest. And the further issue will,in avery short time, cease altogether. Perhaps there is no State in which a more rigid accountability is observed in the issue of bonds than Kentucky. They are signed by the Governor, countersigned by the Secre- tary of State, placed in the Treasury on the requisition of the Roard of Internal Improvement, and issued thence on ‘the warrant of the Treasurer, each department keep- ing acheck upon the other. A tax of five cents upon the $100 of real and personal pro perty is laid for the specific;purpose of paying the interest, ‘The relief question in this State has been set at rest by the results ofthe election.

These sums deducted leave $9,407,500 a8 the actual stock debt of the State, It will be observed thatthere are two amounts, making $1,154,500, issued to ontractors in scrips of $5 and $100 each. These were redeemable in regular $1000 bonds, as above stated ; and it is these which are coming upon the market daily. The indebtedness of the State is not taereby increased ; it is only putting it in a different shape. It appears then, that the bonds sold by the State for intermal improvement purposes, are as follows, vi7{:— 1,395,000 5 cents, annual interest, 1,765,500 6 per cents, ‘to. ‘oso 600,000 do.

These bonds have been disposed of at an aggregate net profit of $54,889 over and above their par value, after deducting the exnenses of negotiation, as follows :— To American Life Insurance and Trust Co.
