The alteration fixes the compensation of police officers employed by the special justices, at $2 for every 12 hours, while engaged during the day, and $8 for the night; such sum not to be paid, however, unless the officer will swear he has not received, nor does not ex»eet to reeeive any other compensation for the rendered while performing such duty.

He thought the pre- ot resolution Unnecessary. Asst. Alderman WarerMman urged strongly the e of the resolution—the law requiring it had ren introduced by the present counsel of the board, when Alderman ol the 15th ward. Assi. Alderman Scouks replied. He felt that the | ordinance should be observed, and he himself was | in favor of the committees reporting. It was range, however, thai the opposite party had allow- ed it to stand a dead letter the whole of last year, and now bring it up ‘Asst. Alderman Perricaxw denied that the party in power last vear had permitted the ordinance to remain a dead letter,and showed reports of the Cro- | ton Aqueduct Committee of 1841 to the contrary. Asst. Alderman Nesprrr and W. Dopge also made remarks on the subject. The resolution was or- dered to lie on the table. Market Laws.—Assistant Alderman Scoues offer- ed a resolution stating that the butchers had not been able to pay their rents, owing to the market laws not being enforced, that they had not paid their rent for over three years, and providing that one- third of the amount due by said butchers to the city, be remitted. i Assistant Alderman Warp said, he believed the market butchers were interested in the meat shops. Assistant Alderman Brown said in effect, though not in the precise words, that the Committee on Markets had determined on a most rigid enforce- ment of the market laws, and prevent the ac- commodation to the public of the meat shops. The market butchers say, if the Common Coun- cil compel people to come to them to buy all the meat that is used in the city, they will pay their rent, but until then they will pay nothing ‘or him- If he does not believe our citizens will allow them- selves to be dragged for every pound of meat they want halfa mile to a market, but he is disposed to look on and see war waged to the knife against all the meat shops. If that is unsuccessful in putting the shops down, he will yield to the public wish He believes the public demand the meat shops, and will have them, but he is willing to look on and see the crusade that is now projected towards them. The resolution was referred. ° a Assist. Ald. Nasir offered a resolution, providing for areduction in the salaries now paid to certain city seg and presenting a scale for such. Re- terred. f A petition was presented from Mr. S. H. Norris, complaining that the water commissioners have un- justly deprived him o* his invention for tapping the main pipe, tor the purpose of introducing Croton water into buildings, &c. Asst. Ald. Perricrew offered a resolution, pro- iding that the Croton water shall be frec for all ate families who will go to the expense of intro- ducing it into their houses, and that the interest on the Water debt be raised by tax, &c. This gave rise to much debate. The resolution was laid on the table to be printed. i Asst. Ald. Meap also offered a resolution on the subject of the Croton waier, which was disposed of in the same way. Papersfrom the Board of Aldermen.—The Comp- trollers’ report, and several other documents, were received from the other board, and referred, and ordered to lie on the table, to be Neo ; : The Board then adjourned to twelve o’clock this day. Mexico.—The Emblem, from Matamoras, brings a few items of Mexican intelligence. Santa Ana was excessively enraged at Mr. Webster’s letters to the insolent Bocanegra, but whether his anger will assume a substantial form, we do not learn. ‘The expedition of 7000 Mexican troops to the Texian frontier was covertly going on. The schr. Water Witch, from this port, and several other veasels in the harbor of Vera Cruz, had been put in requisition as transports. Considerable sums in silver are about to be shipped from Tampico and Vera Cruz to New Or- leans. The steamer Dee brought yesterday $52,000 to the house of Lizardi & Co.—N: O. Bee. From FLortpa.—The Tallahasse Sentinel contains a letter from one of the party in pursuit of the late murderers in Jefferson county. They came upon the Indians about twelve o’clock at night, of the fourth day, after following them a hundred miles. They were lying about their camp fire, and were immediately shot at. The Indians, of whom there were ten, instantly fled. Several were wounded ; one of whom was taken prisoner and afterwards hung, and one was killed. They lived on the Steinhattchee river, and their chief was Othla-Powa ‘Tustenugge. = Two companies of the 8th regiment United States troops, with several officers and two Indians, arrived at St. Augustine on the 22d August from Fort Pierce, Indian River. The St. Augustine Gazette says: “ Fort Pierce being broken up, there is no station of white men onall the east coast of Florida, south of St. Augus- tine. Mariners had better, therefore, at this stormy season, give the land a wide berth, as being wreck- ed might prove unpleas: mit a plan for the enlargement very to include Castle Garden as well as the waters between Washington and West Streets, anal the expense attending the same, was adopted. ‘The Board then adjourned to ‘Tuesday afternoon at 5 o'clock. Boar or Assistant AtpeRMeN, Sept. 5.—The Prosi font, Assistant Alderman Apams, in the chair \:nong the petitions were the following :— ‘atety Insurance Company for re- » have White sireet,between Broad- ch, reprired—a remonstrance against + .

Oninquiry he finds there are 250) paupers supported by the city at Belle- vue, and that at this place, the Long Island Farms, and other chasitable institutions belonging to the city, there are over 5000 persons. The resolution was referred. Responsibility of Committees.—Asst. Alderman Brow also offered a resolution requiring the exeou, tive coinmittees of the board to report their proceed- Tue Burnie or Sm Rosent Peew’s Hovse.—We came across the Liverpool Mercury of the 19th of August, and found in it the following in relation to the above affair:— Fine at Tamwortn.—This morning early, a re- port reached town that the whole of the magnificent structure of Drayton Manor, Tamworth, the resi- dence of Sir Robert Peel, was in flames, and that the building, with its immense and valuable collec- tion of paintings, furniture, &c., had been “razed to the ground. Nothing but vague reports prevailed up to the time of the arrival of the gleven o’clock train, which left Birmingham this morning at six o'clock. From the passengers and guard, we learn that a mob of rioters left Birmingham last ae and were seen in the neighborhood of the hall. Shortly after eleven o’clock the flames were seen is- suing either from the hall or the corn fields adj cent. The military were immediately despatched to Tamworth, but to the time of the train leaving, no correct report as to the nature or extent of the damage done had reached Birmingham. The next mail will doubtless bring official intelligence. Vermont Exection.—The annual State election in Vermont takesplace to-day. Governor Paine is a candidate for re-election. Nathan Smilie is the candidate of the Democrats, and Judge Williams— a quasi Whig—is the abolition candidate. Tue Anustan Necrors—Tue Fouty or TH ABo- LitionisTs.— All our readers are aware of the great sacrifice of money and time that was made in order to put these negroes on apar with white people, through the instrumentality of white people; their sailing for Africa with misisonaries and their wives, and good books, and white girls, and money, and clothes, &c. We have before stated that the expe- dition was a miserable failure, owing to the innate rascality of the blacks ; but we could never get an inkling of the details of their bad conduct since their return to Africa; because the abolistionists keptthe record of their tolly secret. At las however, we have come across a few of the disgusting features of their conduct, as given in a Hartford paper; and we lay it before the community, that they may judge for themselves, and avoid any false sympathy here- after. Of Cinque, Mr. R. says he scarcely knows what to write. Noone, he says, had a higher opinion of him than he had while he was under his instruction at Farnington, Conn. At Freetown he fell in witha woman of the same name of his wife—Ta-fe—and married her! Mr. R. believes that he is both dis- honest and jicentious—has told him plainly of his wickedness—that he could be head man no more— and that if he came tothe farm to work, it must be on the same conditions as the rest, for there was but one law for all. Mr. R. also told him that he could not give him allowance for Ta-fe. Cinque was an- gry, and talked a good deal in the Mendi language. Some ot the Mendians afterwards told Mr. R, that he had said he would make all these men fo ar and leave him; but ang | declared that althoug! Cinque could kill them, he could not make them leave Mr. Raymond. On the Monday following, Cinque came to Mr. R. as pliantasa lamb. He saic he had got some tobacco, and he wanted to go into Sherbro, for rice, for Ta-fe to eat, and then he would come back and work for Mr. R. But the man said he would not let him go in the canoe without he could get Mr. R.’s° consent in writing. Afterwards, Mr. R.. learned from Cinque that Shuli, Faguina, and another, whose name he had forgot- ten, set out to go down the coast, each of them hav- ing @ woman, but the canoe man would not take them, because the women were British subjects. You may remember that Ban-na (Wa) always sud, in America, that he had no wife. Instead of that, he had seven, and several children. He passed through this place'a little more than a week ago, 01 his way home, almost destitute of clothing. He said fi clothes mac been stolen, but I could hardly credit h ® factis, they waste their " ots, and then pretend was eg Nore APPOINTMENTS By THY GovERNo!

The Tribute to our gallant Packet Captains. City Intelligence, BY THE SOUTHERN MAIL. Sew York, Tuesday, September 6, 1842. The Apologies for the tate Insult to the Chief Magistrate, Jt appears that the nght kind of feeling has been awakened in some breasts, at last. In connection with this, we find in the “ Evening Post ” of last evening, the following letters, apologising for the late insult to the President, at the Ashburton Dinner:— To the Editors of the Evening Post :— GextLemex—I am not surprised at the indignant com- ments of the press on the neglect to pay honor to the toast of the President, at the recent dinner to Lord Ash- burton. As one of the Committee of Arrangements, and also as one of the company on that occasion, I feel it to be due to w the imputation of having been a will- light of the Chief Magistrate. oecdavet at the occurrence, and so expressed myself at the moment. It did mot occur to me, however, that I was a fit person to propose a remedy. | therefore simply expresse1 to those near me, my deep mortification at the event. 0 Ican say, in all frankness, that I should have joined with pleasure in paying due honor to the toast to the Pre- sident, as a public functionary, and also from the respect I bear to the Anquan | Gt Op areenain chair. S| tf ', your's, PROS! ett M. WETMORE. To the Editors of the Evening Post :— 4 2 New Yonx, Sept. 8, 1 ‘Sin :—I percieve that the Tribune mentions m; as one of those who are responsible for the omission of the usual demonstrations of respect to the toast of the Pre- sident, at the recent Ashburton Dinner. _ I was not present at that dinner, having been obliged to leave the city the day previous, on account of illness in my family. f acceded to the wish of one or two friends, who desired me to serve on the Committee of Art Oe apenas because I thought peace between England and this country desira- ble for the progress of the world, and that Lord Ashbur- ton had manifested a conciliatory disposition ; but | can- not now regret that I was absent from a festival at which 8o gross an indignity was offered, not merely to the person who fills the Presidential chair, but to that great and free people of which he is the representative. Tam, sir, your observ’, THEODORE SEDGWICK. The letter of Mr. Sedgwick, under certain circum- stances, and to a certain extent, might be deemed sufficient ; but still, when he allowed his name to be used on the Committee of Arrangements, we think it was his duty, as a gentleman andan American, to have had a proper understanding with his brother committee men,so as to have prevented, by any pos- sibility, so flagrant an outrage as that which was committed on the occasion. As to the letter and re- marks of Mr. Wetmore, they form but a poor apolo gy even as a gentleman, and a still worse one as an American. He indirectly countenanced it. Now, let us relate a different line of conduct on an almost parallel case jn England. There was a large public dinner given in London, soon after Wil- liam the 4th had appointed the Duke of Wellington Prime Minister. The whigs felt insulted, by the ap- pointment, and the violence of their indignation against King William was so tremendous as even to exceed that now felt by the whigs toward President Tyler. At this dinner, as a matter of course, “ The King” was the first toast given. There were many whigs present ; but all in the assembly rose to their feet as a mark of respect to their Chief Magistrate, except one individual,who being a violent party man,declar- ed that he would not drink the health of the King. This ungentlemanly and unpatriotic conduct was considered so disgraceful and so atrocious by his bro- ther whigs, that even they ejected him from the room in less than three minutes. And they alleged as their principal reason, that they were gentlemen; and that as such, they could not and would tolerate any conduct that was ungentlemanly or unpatriotic. And this was the simple ground on which they put it. Now, this is an evidence of the sense in which such things are received on the other side of the water. But the act becomes still more ungentle- manly, ruffianly, blackguard and atrocious, when perpetrated by men of this country, men claiming to be gentlemen of the first standing—men of family, character and influence—men of education and ex- perience, and who claim to give a tone to society, and to be held up as patterns to the community at large—when perpetrated towards the Chief Magis- trate of the sovereign people of this great country. As yet the only persons who have exhibited the feelings of true gentlemen, are Preserved Fish and the Reporters. The apologies above may be taken asthey are given, and so far go for what they are worth. For our own part, we consider this only a speci- men of the insufferable arrogance, impudence and coarse vulgarity of that class of society in this city that lays claim to all the attributes of gentlemen. The very men who were guilty of this infamously low and blackguard conduct, are those who exclu- sively claim to be gentlemen—but who by their con- duct on this occasion, proved themselves to be low, ignorant ruffians and blackguards. And the self same men who thus disgraced the country, would also defend and subserve the revolutionary seheme of Pleasants, of Virginia, if it should become neces- sary to put the same in operatien. Gvory anv Frann ‘Webb and his celebrated left leg are still at Sharon Springs. Webb has so far recovered as to be able to crawl round the table and play at billiards; but that left leg is stillin a very bad state, and likely to remain so. However, Webb has one consolation left; if his left leg is covered with flannel, it is covered with glory at the same time. Saas enna New Yorx Lecistature—Tue Apportionment Brut.—The House, on Saturday, by a strong vote, insisted on its amendments to the bill to divide the State into Congress districts, and proposed a com- mittee of conference—which was assented to by the Senate. The joint committee, as appointed by the presi- ding officers of each house, are as follows :— Senate—Messrs. Foster, Nicholas, Strong, Works, and Varian. Assembly—Messrs. Hulburd, Maclay, Jansen, Smith, and Hathaway. The joint committee were in session on Saturday afternoon, and again on Saturday evening; without coming, however, to any agreement. The commit- tee meet again on Monday. If they agree to disa gree, the bill falls to the ground. Parx Taeatre—New Comepy—Sucw as rr 1s— This new comedy, a five act as it is called, by Field, was played last night at the Park Theatre, for the first time. It is the greatest mass of trash that ever was strung together in any country, and called a play. It has neither character, nor plot, nor keeping, nor anything else. The only character in it that can be understood is a Col. Smith Dum- mers, (intended for Col. Munroe Edwards,) and the only thing in his part that raised a laugh, was a copy of the letter written by Brown Brothers & Co. desiring the honor of the Colonel's personal ac- quaintance. There isa Lord, and a Sage, and an M.C., and a dozen other characters, all without concert of action, or anything’sensible to say. The view of Pennsylvania is good, and that’s about the only good thing in the whole concern. Avorner Disastrr—Loss or THE Barque Lour sa.—The Louisa, from Marseilles for New York, went ashore last Friday night, four miles east of Fire Island light. She had a full cargo of fruit, dry goods, cordage, &c., consigned to Howland & As- pinwall. A large part of the cargo was landed, and the remaining part of it would also be saved. The vessel was full of water and would probably be lost. Her masts were cut away and were alongside the vessel. Navat, News.—The sloop of war Fairfield, Com. Morgan, sailed from Gibraltar, July 25, for Mahon. She would return to Gibraltar, and if any other U. S. vessels should have arrived in the meantime, would proceed with them to perform the farce of adjusting the difficulties at Tangier. Morr Steam.—The Great Western, for New York, lett Liverpool on Friday last, and the Acadia, tor Halifax and Boston, on Sunday. & There is to be a grand ball at Coney Island, at Cropsey’s, to-morrow night. We perceive, that amongst others, the following correspondence has taken place between Mr, Web- ster and Captain DePeyster, in relation to the pre- sentation of a gold medal by Queen Victoria to the latter, for his gailantry:— DerantMet or State, Wasninoton, Aug. 17, 1842. ‘Sia :— Thave just received a letter from Mr. Fox, the British Minister ‘at Washington, transmitting to me by direction of Her Majesty’s government, six gold medals, bearing the portrait of the Queen, which the British government de- sire to present to the commanders of the United States vessels named in an accompanying list, in acknowledge- ment of the services rendered by them in saving the lives of British seamen, and requesting meto cause these medals to be delivered to the respective commanders, in the name and behalf of Her Majesty’s government. I have accord- ingly the honor of transmitting to you a medal bearing the portrait of Her Majesty, and recording on the reverse, that it is preagnted by the British government to Captain De Peyster, of the United States vessel “Sheridan,” for saving the crew of the “ Zephyr.” You will allow me, I hope, to express the pleasure I have in being instrumental in forwarding to you this high testimonial awarded by an enlightened government t> a noble effort of humanity. Suck actions and such rewards create honorable rivalry between the spirited efforts of individuals and the gene- rous remuneration of governments. Iam, sir, respectfully, your obd’t servant, (Signed) DANIEL WEBSTER. Captain Du Prveren, of the packet ship Sheridan, of New York. New Yorx, Sept. 1, 1842. To the Hon. D. Weaster— 1m Your letter of the 17th ult., with the eepomper ing tes- timonial of acknowledgment from Her Majesty of my ser- vices to the crew of the Zephyr, I received through the Collector of this port yesterday. I beg you will express my thanks through his Excellency, Mr. Fox, to Her Ma- Jesty’s government, for the liberal manner in which it has rewarded an action, which my heart will, I trust, always impel me to extend towards suffering humanity. I am, sir, with great respect, your obedient and humble servant, (Signed) AUGS. DE PEYSTER. Hon. Danigt Wensrer.—Mr. Webster returned to the city, and leaves to-day for Boston on his way to Marshfield, where he intends to enjoy him. self, and catch fish to make chowder. It isa little singular that notwithstanding all he has done, when Mr. Webster reached Philadelphia he was received in silence ; so in this “city, while Stanly and the members of Congress were paraded and applauded to the very echo. However, Mr. Webster is hon- ored by the silence of fools. He has been ma- king chowder for England. We wonder who he will make chowder for next? It is not at all likely that he will make any more chowder in the kitchen of the Cabinet; but wherever he does make it, whether at Marshfield or in Congress, it will be “first chop,” and no mistake, and be greedily swallowed. Tue InpIGNaTION MgETING.—A. very large prirnary meeting was held last night at Hermitage Hall, corner of Allenand Houston streets, to take mea- sures for a large public meeting relative to the late insult to the President. Appropriate resolutions were passed, and the necessary measures taken to obtain hereafter, the sense of the public on the late outrageous conduct of some of the self-styled mer- chant princes, Stanp From Unper.—The following whig mem- bers of Congress decline a re-election:—Millard Fillmore, of New York ; Joseph F. Randolph, New Jersey; Samson Mason, Ohio; Joseph Ridgway, do; Nath. G. Pendleton, do; Henry W. Van Rensa- lear, New York ; Francis Granger, do. A Veteran Gone.—Poor old Admiral Reeside, died in Philadelphia on Saturday night. He was fifty-two years of age, and a very remarkable :nan. It is believed that his death was caused by the great trouble and difficulties he had with the Post Office Department under Amos Kendall; and he had no sooner gained his suit, than his iron frame gave way, and nature sank’ under the fatigue she had un- dergone, after the exciting impulse was withdrawn. Tue Sart or Lirs—Cuarrry.—Henry Clay for- warded an order to Syracuse for a few barrels of salt. Whereupon the boilers of that place con- vened, and resolved to make him a present of thirty barrels—to be paid for by donations of 25 cents each. Tue Prez Contractors.—These gentlemen have left the streets in a shameful condition, and we hope that the corporation will make them pay most handsomely for not fulfilling their contracts. Business or Concress.—Congress, at its recent session, passed two hundred and ninety-eight Acts, four Resolutions, and nine Joint Resolutions, snch as they are. ‘THe Arapama LectstaTurE AND Frnances.—The Governor of Alabama declines calling the legisla- ture together, for the purpose of legislating the banks out of their difficulties, alleging that their condition is beyond the reach of legislative aid, and that it is the intrinsic wealth of a State, and not legislative action, that gives credit to a bank and currency to her bills. Horrire Ovtraces By Nearors.—Scarcely a day passes but some of our Southern or Western exchange papers contain frightful accounts of rapes committed by negroes on the Persons of young mar- tied or single ladies. We but lately read of two negroes being roasted alive for this. The other day, a negro preacher committed a similar outrage in Kentucky. And the last Attakapas Gazette gives the particulars of an outrage, too dreadful to men- tion, by a negro man upon the person of a young married lady, in the Parish of Lafayette, La.

They were making Spanish milled and American half dollars. Nizro’s.—Last night the saloon was full—quite. There is a charm about the Ravels, a never-failing one, and in what does it consist? Simply, talent of a high order. To-night they give the humorous vaudeville in which Gabriel acts so capitally, named the “Three Faced Frenchman,” and the “ Night Owl.” Cmatnam Tweatng.—There was a tremendous crowd at this establishment fast night, to see For- rest, it being his benefit and last night of his pre- sent engagement.

Epwanps To Soot HiseLr on Tae Jar Kegrers.—On Sunday morning, Mr. De- puty-keeper Homan, on examining the basket | which contained the meal of Col. Edwards, the ex- | pert financier and forger, discovered a small box | neatly enveloped with blue paper and containing as | a label, “ Viouer Toor Powner.” He took it up, looked at it, and thinking possibly that it might hold something else, bored a hole into the side, and out came a quantity of double refined, glazed pistol powder, that no doubt was to be conveyed to him fora desperate purpose. He was immediately ques- tioned concerning it, but denied all knowledge Colonel Jones immediately ordered him to be placed in a position that kicking will be out of the question, for a time, atleast. His delicate ancles are pow nicely encased in a beautiful pair of shin- | laces, put on in elegant and workmanlike style, by a good mechanic. The Colonel is now on his last legs, and in his financial concerns may be consider- ed as waning fast. His gold watch went “up the | spout” last week, which, we believe, is about the last valuable that he has left, except his dexterity, He may now be considered a desperate man, in every sense of the word, and if escape is within his means, he is sure to effect it. So deputy-keepers, look out for your heads. Mors Foun.—A few weeks since we published a small order of Court, of two lines, made ee Judge Lynch, of the Sessions, to authorise the Clerk of that Court to send a copy of the presentment of the Grand Jury, relative to the discharge of vagrants from Blackwell's Island, by the police justices, and intimated then that there was more in it than mere nonsense. As we then su :d, the members of the County Court were yesterday served with the follow- ing notice :— oe New Yorx Common Pueas. Satunpay, Serr. 3, 1849, The General Sassions having sent to the First Judge a copy of the presentment of the Grand Jury of July 2d 1842, in relation to the conduct of certain Special Justices, It is ordered, that the County Court be convened to meet on Thursday it noon, in the Aldermans’ Chamber, in order that snch presentment may be laid before them. NATH'L JARVIS, Clerk. Whether this summons is to remove District Attorney Whiting, or Justices Matsell, Stevens and Parker, they will find out on Thursday next. All hands on deck, asa storm is brewing. Sucu Fisnina.—A party of gentlemen very quiet- ly took the steamboat Statesman, from the foot of Pullcaestreet™ on Saturday morning, at half-past nine o’clock, proceeded to Flushing, obtained boats and bait from the well kept hotel of Mr. Woolley, and before night caught eighty pounds of elegant bass, and about forty of king fish. There is no such place for fishing within fifty miles of New York, and the hundreds that sit all day for a nibble at Mc- Comb’s dam and elsewhere, should only try it once and they will return well satisfied. Court or Exquiry.—A military court of enquiry assembles this morning, at the American Hotel, by order of the Governor of this State, to ascertain whe- ther Bngadier General Storms, by accepting the of- fice of Commissary General, has vacated the office of Brigadier General? To military men, this is a nice question, and no doubt some able military reasoning as well as legal lore, may be presented on this occa- sion. The Independent Guards, Capt. Carnes, ded esterday, and were reviewed by Brigadier General torms, in front of his quarters, at the arsenal. .Common Cevunci.—Both Boards meet this eve- ning to select the places in the several wards where the polls shall be held at the ensuing election. The law requires that it shall be done on the 6th of Sep- tember. Prreu Fiont ar tae Duron Cavrcn in Forsyru street.—This edifice, devoted to the dissemination of religious tenets, was the scene of the most dis- graceful riots, rows, and fisticuffs, on Sunday, that ever graced a groggery. It spear that the congre- gation are divided, some wi all the preaching, praying, and singing, to be done in Dutch alone, others wish Dutch in the forenoon and English in the afternoon. Some want the present minister, and others want a new one, and as the church owns about. $200,000 worth of property, some want the Lament the whole of it, and others want to de ditto. The fight came off in the forenoon, and the way the preacher, the deazons, the laymen, and laywomen, were aid out to dry, was ® caution to all those who never mixed in a street knock down and drag out. Bloody noses, ragged coats, split ae taloons, smashed bonnets, torn frocks, black eyes, were as plenty as black-berries, and yesterday the complaints, cross-actions, and hard words, all in Dutch, at the sli! police, assuits were commenced, kept justices, clerks, and officers on the qui vive during business hours. What an example these christians set for the orderly people on_the Five Points, who never commit rowdyism on Sunday. Wett Dong Ur.—On Tuesday morning, the ‘pro- prietors of Howard’s Hotel discovered a suspicious man on their premises, who had arrived the night before, and sending for A. M. C. Smith, who can telescope a rogue, their suspicions were cen- firmed. Smith vei sanderately, took him one side and asked the smal weirileds of looking at and into his eM which the gentleman, as he then represented himself, most peremptorily refused. He threatened to open it—the suspected told him to do it at his peril, and commenced damni Howard, Smith and every body. The lock, one of the A. B. C. sort, was wrenched off by Smith, when lo! and behold, out tumbled 194 lace collars, worth about $600 that had been stolen from the store of Samuel Cochran, of Philadelphia, on the night of the 26th June last. The rogues then entered the scuttle door on the top of the house, and stole about $1000 worth of property. The gentleman, who was then disco- vered to be a rogue, was escorted to the Police Of- fice by officers Low and Smith, when it was ascer- tained that his name was James T. Walker. alias Thomas. In a short time afterwards, these officers succeeded in arresting the partner ot Walker, in Chatham street, who, when landed in the Tombs, gave the name of Sam. Williams, alias Parker.— Mr. Cochran being in the city, they were both fully committed for the requisition of the Governor of Pennsylvania. Twe Meat Snors.—The present whig Common Council or whig Corporation pagek say sheved for- ward by the Market Committee, have,for the few weeks, been waging a perfect war on, all the meat shops of our city. Instead of bringing the suits against them in the Ward Courts, they are brought in the Supreme Court, where the fees and taxes are 0 onerous that no poor man who endeavors to ob- tain an honest living can stand more than one suit before he is swamped. Is this the reasen that meat is kept up atsuch a high price, while every thing else is coming down and cheap enough? Loox ovr ror Ross.—Ross, who stands charged with some dozen complaints of obtaining goods under false and lying pretences, will be brought be- fore fo Jones at 10 o’clock this morning, in order to be allowed to run at large, with or without bail, if possible to succeed. Let all who have been swindled attend or apply at the District Attorney’s office before 10 o’clock. Judge Jones will certain- ly not bail this rogue while the Court of Sessions continue its present term, as he should be tried at once and packed off to dig atone or pick oakum for the balance of a cheating life. . Out, anp Back Aaain.—One Ann Kane, who is eight days out of the Penitentiary, was arrested esterday on a charge of stealin, td from the conkeds be Francis fhiltcoly, of 18 ‘alker street, while he was in close communion with her on some important subject. Ann confessed the theft, but said that both of them were drunk at the time, and she did not know what she had done. She was locked up. Caveut wrrn rr ov.—On the 26th July last, Mr. Peter Cartwright, of 171 Seventeenth street, lost clothing of various description to the value of twen- ty-three dollars, which was stolen from his premises. and yesterday while waking in Broadway, he spied a man with a Mackintosh on his back that had been taken with the other articles. He immediate- ly accosted the gentleman and landed him in the fe: lice office, when he gave the name of James Kelly, and was fully committed. Snot Hisetr.—Mr. William S. Young, formerly of Baltimore, but who has rocenty resided at Brook- lyn, committed suicide, on Saturday, by blowing his brains out with a pistol. He appeared as usual in the morning, and no cause is assigned for the act.

Mr. Eprror :— A splendid fair, gotten up by the ladies of the German Catholic Church, now being erected in this city, is to Commence at the Law Buildings to-night. The ‘church to which the proceeds are to be ap- plied, will, when finished, be one of the most ele- gant structures of the church kind in the State, It is astonishing, beyond conception, the success with which brother Maffit meets in his ministerial labors. He is bringing ferth converts by the score ; | his meetings are a perfect crowd. That he under- stands human nature in a very great degree noue candeny—that he uses pretty language is evident— that he exercises great power over certain minds, is likewise true. I would say to him, go ahead, do all the good you can, and as little harm as possible. May the Great King of Kings chasten his heart more and more unto righteousness, that his crown of success may be the brighter. oid : The Captain of a schooner that runs principally in the Chesapeake Bay, fell overboard from his craft below North Point, on Saturday, and was drowned.

Philadelphia, [Correspondence of the Herald.] PHiLaperwia, Sept. 5, 1842. We had a very heavy rain here last night, and some little more to-day. It is still, however, quite warm. Little of a news character is stirring, and excepting among political aspirants to office, there is not much of an exciting character afloat. Mr. and Miss Maywood, of the Chesnut street Theatre, announce in the papers this morning, that the house, under their control, will open in the course of a few days, with a strong and efficient company. Mary Elizabeth Maywood is manager ; R. C. Maywood acting manager, and P. Richings, stage manager. The engagements made for the Walnut street house, are said to be of the most un- exceptionable character as regards morals. rk McGrath was caught between a car, loaded with lumber, and the post of a bridge, on the Read- ing Railroad, at Bridesburg, on Saturday, and was so severely crushed that it was found necessary to convey him to the hospital. desperate sort of an individualnamed Leonard, was committed on Saturday morning by Alderman. Rees, of Spring Garden, upon a charge, sworn to by a witness, with firing the late bridge of the Read- ing Railroad Company, which was consumed a short time since. The evidence of the witness was this. A few days subsequent to the destruction of the bridge, the defendant and witness were in a pub- lic bar-room in the upper part of the county, when witness inguired of Leonard “whether he had seen the reward advertised for the discovery of the in- cendiaries of the Company’s bridge;” to which de- fendant replied that ‘the had, but that he did’nt care a d—n;” and added, that “‘ it the Company did’ntfind him out in less than a month’s time, he would burn their engine house also.” Upon this latter threat he was very properly committed, though it . test that additional important evidence wil forthcoming. ‘There were no “| s of stocks at the board to-day.

The Genuine Extract of Sarsaparilia, Prepared by THE COLLEGE OF MEDICINE AND PHARMACY Or tHe Crry or New Yorx. oe THERE IS NO ARTICLE IN THE MATERIA Medic: which so many spurious and inert prepara- tions, have been offered, ‘as Sarsaparilla. Indeed, many members of the medical’ profession h of de- the nying in foto, the efficacy of this Eralueble rug, and they have been led to this disbelief of ite virtues, by the wretehed mixtures which have been and are at present palmed on the public, as genuine extracts of the article. The College desire no stronger and more intelligible proof of the worthlessness of these mixtures, than that evidence which is afforded by the very advertisements of their manufacturers. The juent oan putts which are thrust before the public, bear on their front the impress of the most impudent quackery. Powers are as- cribed to which it does not really possess, and certificates of ed cures, oo to have been ef- fected its use, are ded at length, whilst ev. by educated ph ‘sician, well knows that no such results cou! by any paaatbility have followed from the use even of the most carefully prepared extracts of Sarsaperille. It is under these circumstances, and in accordance with their extended plan of suppressing all descriptions of me- dical im} re, that the “College of Medicine and Phar- macy” offer to the notice of the public, Tue Gexuine Extracr ov Sansaranitia. This article has been prepared at great expense, accord- ing to the new process cf the Parisian pharmaceutists, and isconfidently denominate! the only really valuable prepa- ration of Sarsaparilla now offered for sale in this country. Together with the active principle of the Smii valie—the best species of the root—the Coleg: rated that peculiar modification of sugar, which has een termed glycyrrhizin. Inthe “Extracts” of the nos trum-venders and certain druggists, the common extract of liquorice is the chief ingredient, and can readily bede- tected. But it is proper to state that in most cases this extract of liquorice is adulterated, and contains copper de- rived from the pe in which the decoction of the root is evaporated, The College wish thus particularly to guard the public against the pernicious tendency of mixtures, containing large quantities of this poisoned liquorice. The “Extract,” prepered by the College, contains also an ap- propriate quantity of the peculiar cryatallizable principle, obtained from that valuable vegetable bitter, Gentian, (80 called from Gentius, King of Illyria, who first discovered its great virtues.) A small portion Of the active constitu- ents of the Sassafras, another vegetable, whose elticacy as an alterativeand purifier of the blood is well known, has likewise been added. These several articles have been incorporated, and their peculiar principles compounded in a highly concentrated form, andthe re- SF = been be Nany wig eal of : ve le alterative and tonic, unequ ‘er and efficacy. ‘The College merely add the following extract from the edition just published of Brande’s “ Practical Dictionary of the Materia Medica :"— “ This article has been prescribed in ehronic'rheuma- tism—in obstinate cutaneous eru in | indolent ulcers—in glandular affections—in diseases of the bones, attended by dull aching psins, tumors ond nodes—wasting ofthe flesh—and it has proved a valuable remedy, and has sometimes effected a cure where’ other alteratives have been long administered in vain, and when the diseased state of the system has /iven of many years duration.
