Tue ext Great Prestoeytiat. Procession iyo Megrive —Irs Cuaracrer ano Texpencres — Now that this extraordinary pageant is over, and all the facts connected with it are before the world, every main begins to see thar it is one of the most remar<able incidents that has taken place in public affiirs since the time of the Revolution. One of the most singular features in it, is the per- tectly novel movement of introducing ladies in the procession. This gave an entirely new character to the affair; it iavested the whole thing with a halo of romance ; and although some of the warm- est friends of the meeting feared uupleasant conse. quences from this new movement, yet the resalt has fully justified the experiment. In its origin, this meeting and pro very The meant to show their sense RR sion original movers in it merely was simple of the indignity offered to the whole nation in the person of its Chief Ma- gistrate. One proposition brought on another ; young and ardent spirits made different suggestions; the tide of pure patriotism swelled high uatil it car ried those concerned back to the palmy days of chivalry , to the middle ages; to the time when Coarts of Beauty and Love were more powerful than the courts of the proudest monarchs ; when the glorious prize at the tournaments was con- tested with a life and death struggle, because be- stowed by the fair hand of beauty, These recol- lections and feelings suggested the idea of having ladiesto take part in this celebration, and the result far exceeded the expectations of the most sanguine Their appearance—all dressed in white—(save the Rhode [sland carriage and its contents,which were clad in mourning,) their youth, simplicity, beauty and innocence drew out thousands upon thousands, as spectitors—their appearance inspired every one —their deportment demanded respect—they were cheered and hailed with joyousness throughout the city; and from the windows of the Carlton House a beantifal bouquet was thrown into the Pennsylya- nit carriage, which contained four very sweet young ladies, all of whom were bare-headed, their dark hair clustering in ringlets round their very sweet fives, the latter screened by sunshades. And asthe carrliges representing the different States passed down Broadway,the chivalric sons of the South and West, now in town, hailed each carriage which re presented their favorite State, with loud cheers, thas eliciting more enthusiasm than can well be im- agined) And the final result was, that by the aid of beantifal women, and gallantry that went off with viich otherwise would have terminated in a melaneholy firee. Aal allthis waa brought o1 et of those who call | = and self themselves gentlemen and ** merchant princes. It does not appear, from any thing we can perceive in the proceedings, that there wa want of mann | | } by the brutality, the | | any stress laid upon the fact as to who was Presideat of the United States. Tuers was no feeling shown in regard to the man who fills the office for the time being. On | the coatriry, perhaps no maa, as President of this Union has less personal popalarity than Mr. Tyler. A man, that may be said to be without a pary— vrutal re rthy of any notice, the only mode of noticing them ought to be, that of a com- nittee of one huadred men to call on them at their own offices, and teach them personally lessons of y priety and common decency. With these two miserable exceptions, the people nt the large city of New York were to a man, all enraptured with the beauty, the grace, the elegance, (he propriety, the romance, and the poetry investing those ladies in the procession. And a leading and influential whig, who looked on and saw the whole thing, observed to the locofoces, “ If you are going to play that game with us at elections or otherwise, we can beat you at it all hollow, and bring out more elegance, beauty and intelligence, than your whole party can muster. And we should not wonder to see this made a great fea ture hereafter on all important occasions.— ‘The hard cider revelries have disappeared. The temperance movement is pretty much of a failure, But if both parties will come into the field with their most beautiful and virtuous women, it will create more enthusiasin, and bring out greater crowds of supporters than can be thought of at pre- sent. Here was the first instance of the kind; and instead of tarning out a farce, it isadmitted by the “Courier,” and other whig papers, that it drew out 15,000 spectators, and the probability is that it drew out 50,000, and produced a joyousness and enthusi- asm that threw the 4th of July into the shade. These are some of the views and tendencies of this movement. But above all, it is seen, that it | munication also a was devised and carried out by that section of the democratic party which is friendly to Mr. Calhoun, and which will yet give Mr. Van Buren and his friends more trouble than all the whigs ever gave him in his life. In short it is only the commence- ment of a power that they can’t control. They have caught the friends of Mr. Van Buren, Messrs. Law- rence, Ler, Wetmore, &c., at that dinner, uniting with the whigs to attempt to bring disgrace on the | nation. And of all the demoerats there, Preserved Fish was the only man independont enough to re- sent the insult, and he is a warm friend of Mr. Cal- houn’s. After this, we should not! be surprised to see Pre- served Fish nominated as our next Mayor. Let us ponder calmly on all these tendencies. There are strange events in the womb of time. Tue System or Passinc Laws in Conoress.— A tew days ago we published an article exhibiting the system of getting laws passed at Washington. In Albany it is called “ lobby membering”—in Har- risburgh, boring in:— Wasnixaron, Sept. 10, 1942. Tote Epiron or tue Hexaco, New Youk:— Stu,— As you almittel “A Boatswain’s Friend” to your co- Jumns on the Sth inst., I trast that you will give this com- place in your Herald, and thus enable me to justify mysaif, if I need any justification, at the bar Hie opinion. vy in December last while [ was editor of the Index, and general agent for claimants at Washington, I was waite upon by a committee of Forwart Warrant officers ofthe Navy, with a request that | would aid in procurin, forthem aid their grade an increaseof pay. ‘They offered me money to undertake the business, but this I declined. I dil, however, approve of their purpose, and pledged my- self to further their wish every honorable exertion. Itherefore opened m mns to them, and urged their claims before Congress with all my heart, Some time after the interview above mentioned, Ire. ceive i from nineteen warrant officers their pleiges to pay me $50 each in the bill to increase their pay was passed by the 27th Congress, Of the 19 officers, 6 were guiners, 4 were boatswains, 5 were carpent sailmakers, As pay was only to be male cess, and as my bnsiness was that of agent, | ofcourse was much pleased with the pledge, and laid it aside as so much realy money in prospect. When the Pursers’ and War- rant Oificers’ Pay Bill passed beth Houses, I procured five pieces of envelope paper from the folding room at the capi- tol, and scrawled a hasty note to the warrant otticers of each station, and sent the whole off by the evening’s mail. My letters were alike short and comprelensive, but not so short as the mutilate! copy given by your correspond: ent. [ sent the one for New York tothe gunner, at the Navy Yard there, iustead of the sailmaker, and to his ge- 1 sympathies | an doubtless indebted ation of the Sth in communication signed «A false and malicion gatswain’s Friend,” i The letter is nota true letter, Th faisifiel—the fees of $7,1 tiplied se he sta ement that carpenters makers hired me to pilot the bill through is eq true, for | have # majority of b: my list, In fact, the simple truth gerated, thatthose who know about tl Wpich thaws Rovees = arty 0 officers, would never suspect a boatswain’ and without friends! But the whole was brought about from pure respect and feeling which the ac- tors entertained towards the sacred office of Chief Magistrate of this great and glorious Republic, no matter by whom filled for the time being. Now let us see what are the tendencies which this movement will lead to. In one respect—in a a party aspect—it is not the least remark ble, that this meeting was got up by the same men in th democratic ranks, who are opposed to Mr. Van Bu- ren for the next presidency, and friendly to that of John C. Calhoun. And by a singalar coincidence, all those of the democratic party who were on that dinner committee, were warm personal friends of Mr. Van Baren. Such were Cornelius W. Law- | rence, James Lee, Prosper M. Wetmore, and the rest of the democratic leaders who heard the nation insulted and sat still under the infliction The elements that were at work tion with this matter, are purely Calhoun ele- ments; and they will most effectully paralyze all the other elements that can be set in motion by the democratic party in this city. This outbreak of popular sympathy, shows the feeling of the public mind, in regard to the President and the late Congress. All the demonstrations of respect made on that occasion, were made to the President of the United States, possessing as he does a power greater than that of any potentate upon, earth. There is no mistake in this tendency. On the other hand, the doings of the late Congress have completely destroyed their influence, and ne respect was or is felt for them. But in the office of the President, whose person is renewable every four years, is seen and felt the embodiment of the Union, as the head anda representative of the great American people in his own person. Not to the man was the respect paid, but to the office, embra- cing as it does higher attributes than those of any King or Emperor under heaven. in connec- Another feature, that must again be noticed, was the presence of a large number of beautiful, elegant, and well dressed, and highly respectable women in the procession; whose presence carried us back to ing any knowledge of the matter. i The officers who pledged payment to me, informed me that the money would be ready for me at a moment's no- ice; it wasnot strange, therefore, that I asked for it in the annonneing the passage of the If the warrant officers of their own free will have agreed to pay me too much money, they have noone to blame but themselves, 1 expect from’ the gentlemen whose bonds | hold, the money they have agreed to me, and until they come the New York Gunner over m (which [ have no fears of,) I shall esteem them ay I have always done, officers and gentlemen. And now, sir, in conclusion, I beg leave to inform the “ Boatswain's Friend,” that the most equitable way of set- tling this whole matter is to pay the money promptly, and say no more about it, lest some evil-minded person might Suppose that somebody desired to shrink from his pledge, his debts with the foretop-sail. the right, however, of any anonymous writer's prying into my matters of business, either for his ent; but while I act as an honest faithful agent shall, if it is desired, be ready to farnish Congress with quarterly list of my fees, and your correspondent with a bill of my household expenses. P. 8.—I will compromise with the Boatswain’s Friend, for $1000, and give him a receipt in full. lam, sir, very respectfully, your ob’t serv’t J. E. DOW, Agent for Claims. Remarks —This is about the coolest thing that we have ever read. It presents the whole secret of the machinery of legislation, and the ‘ whys and wherefores” of the action of Congress. How many such ** agents” are there in Washington? Last ses- sion about one hundred laws of a similar kind passed—which at $1000 each, would be $100,000, to be distributed among the “agents” or lobby members. This is black mail with a vengeance. No you Don’r.—Noah has the impudence to deny that he was one of the hands in the late “ Evening Star” who abused Captain Tyler, about a year ago. We state the fact openly and above board—* thou art the man.” He not only abused the Captain, after the death of Harrison, during the Extra Ses- sion, but he suggested cart loads of abuse. We shall give the very articles themselves, written by Noah, ina day ortwo. We have'got this old ass in a corner and he cannot now escape. Brutau Muroer.—We refer to our report in another column for the details of a cold blooded murder, committed yesterday at Hastings, in this State, under the name of a prize fight. We now the pure age of chivalry. And it must be remem bered for ever, that amongst all the newspapers of this great city, we find only two, that are charac- terized by auch shocking brutality, infamous dep vity, and want of all hu nan feeling, as to endeavor to throw suspicion over the character of the ladies present on this traly interesting occasion. Those two are the Tribune and Courier & Enquirer, whose remarks we subjoin:— call up onthe authorities to punish all concerned, to the full extent of the law, and put astop to these disgraceful proceedings in this country forever. A Sies.—[s r1—Winchester,the newspaper-book- publishes, priated the other day 50,000 copies of the new “ Lite of Henry Clay,” written by Epes Sar- geant.

The matter in dispute, it is said, is about to be referred to the sovereign Pontiffat Rome; ba) aaless the Sovereign Pontiff decides according to the wishes of the wardens, his decision will go for nothing. The fact is, that it is tiie for the Catholies of this country to ome outand take a bold independent stand in de- fence of their own rights, and for the preservation of heirprivileges. It is utterly impossible for a sove- ign living at so great a distance as Italy is from the United States, ean hold judicious sway over so large nd intelligent a body of men asthe Catholics of America are. And it must at last come to this; that we must have an American Pope; and nothing short of that will be suffice Commencement or Rerorm.—The removal of Jonathan Roberts is the commencement of a re form iu the goveroment offices, which we trust will be carried out all over the country moat thoroughly ; for such a mevement is much needed. The best way for Captain Tyler to go to work isto put the guillotine in motion at once, and keep it going till the last death struggle is over, 80 as to have as little wailing as possible The New York Doctors continue in a lively eon- dition; and the latest intelligence from the medical world is, we rejoice to announce, on the whole, fa- vorable. Epsom salts and the blue pill are still in good request, and rheubarb retains its established reputa- tion. The * galvanized squash” has taken half-a- dozen bottles of Dr. Sands’ root-beer, and reports an increased appetite fer bran-bread. Gunning Bedford, the remarkable ‘ Phenomenon” of the Stuyvesant School, has despatched another volume by Dr. Southwood Smith, and is fully prepared for the duties of his chair. The two medical schools are making all prepara- tion for the approaching winter campaign. The College of Physicians and Surgeons will open with very large classes. The Faculty of the Stuyvesant School, (under the management of Drs. Bedford, Pattison, and Sands,) are making laudable efforts to retain possession of their class-rooms, and prolong their existence for another year. Dr. Sands’ Balm of Gilead and Panacea for Debility will, it is hoped, resusitate this infantile institution and remove the unpleasant effects of the injurious treatment adopted by the venerable grannies who presided over its destinies last winter. Itissaid to be doubtful whether Dr. Mott will follow his spouse to Paris, or remain to contest the palm with his venerable rival—“Itenera- ting Pattison.” The Colleges of Pharmacy still continue the con- test with death and quackery. We do not believe that the Stuyvesant College of Pharmacy has as yet done much—the Nassau street College appears to be meet- ing with remarkable success, Its new preparation of sarsaparilla, and the remedies imported from Paris, would seem to receive much more general approba tion than the plan of “transporting leeches in their native clay,” and the infallible anti-biti-vermine pre paration of Drs. Bedford and Sands. However, next spring, we will be better able to judge of the comparative success of these rival establishments. In the mean time, as processions appear to be the order of the day, we would humbly venture to sug- gest to the “ Stuyvesant College ot Medicine and Pharmacy,” the propriety, beauty, and expediency, of getting up agrand public procession, on occasion of the opening of their lecture rooms. This would, we think, throw the old College of Physicians and Surgeons, in Crosby street, completely into the shade. The following is respectfully submitted asa Programme of the Procession ? The Servants of the College, (consisting of the Porter, and venerable female who lights the fires). Tur Tat or Dr. Mout. (borne by six Shin Doctors.) Da.

We do hope that our friendly hint will be taken into serious consideration. Dr. Bedford will, we are sure, go strong for the procession. He hasal- ways approved of letting one’s}self be seen in the streets. It looks like business. Seriously—next winter will show, that although a set of incompetent professors, utterly destitute of the means of affording a decent medical education, may perpetrate deception one season, they cannot repeat their criminal conduct.

The morning was just such an one as people generally prefer not intruding upon, asthe rain poured in torrents, the consequence of which was, that not one-fourth of the number that witnessed the fight between Sullivan and Bell were in attendance. The steamboats Saratoga, (Mc- Coy’s;) Indiana, (Lilly’s ;) Boston, Gazelle, Napo- leon and Convoy, were all chartered to convey pas- sengers to the spot selected for the fight, and be- tween eight and nine o’cleck, as the rain ceased and the sun began to show himself, these boats took their departure from the city with only about 1500 passengers. They proceeded up the Hudson about twenty miles, to a spot selected, about half way be- tween Yonkers and Hastings, in Westchester Co. The position of the ground was excellent, being on a flat, lying between the Croton Acqueduct and the Hudson, slightly declining, and thus giving an am- phitheatrical view from the ropes to the top of the reservoir. The termination of the sublime scenery of the pallisades opposite, the view of the noble Hudson, the little villages of Piermontand Nyack,in the distance, on the opposite shore, and the exciting scene in the immediate vicinity,all tended to render the secs selected as the very best spot that could have been choseu for the occasion, adding as it did to the comfort and convenience of all present. The arrangement, in and about ‘the spot” were miniously rejected by respectable medical tribu- tals ; they will not seele th m-reteranabmnt==t ° connexion with an institution started as a mere speculation, and which has met the indignant frown of the great mass of the profeasion. The Stuyve- sant School must alter its character and tactics, or sbumit to its fate. Srrance Procreoines in Boston —The Grand Ju- ry in Boston have lately indicted and imprisoned se- veral poor little boys, on the ground that they ob- structed the side walk in State street, by selling the daily papers. This is one of the most sirgular and most contemptible pieces of conduct that any body of mea could be guilty of ; and we hope that the Boston papers will give us the names of those grand jurors who have acquired an unenviable and an un- dying notoriety by this miserable act! Pray, what have the newsboys done in State street deserving of imprisonment ? Look at State street ! It is full of sharpers, and shavers, and speculators,Jews and bro- kers, and broken down political and financial hacks. it issomething a little Wall street, where a man may run against an honest man by accident—no other way. And these are the fellows that ought to be in- dicted. These are the chaps that demoralise so- ciety, and not the news boys. Opera—ITaLian anp Ena@iisu.—Signor de Begnis, in conjunction with Signor Antognini and Seguin, have issued a prospectus, and with it a subscription list. The prospectus includes the names of a variety favorite artistes already engaged, and of others to be engaged, provided the latter is encouraged enough to cover an expenditure which such a com- bination of talent must necessarily involve. To families who happen to have children in the course of musical education, a finer school cannot be well imagined than a well conducted opera. The terms to families are made to meet the increase of numbers in a most favorable manner; and asthe tickets are also made transferrable, it affords the most liberal facility of admission ever yet presented to the public. Mrs. Seguin, Mad. Otto, Signora Mecovino (Lon- don), Mrs. Bailey, are among the number engag- ed; and engagements are in progress with Mrs. Sutton, Mons. Nourri, Sig. Aug. Soudano (Paris), Mr. Barker (London), Siz. Strazzi, and Candi (Ha- vana), &c. &e. Mr. Latham, and Mr. Meyer, are also amongst the engaged, we hear. Mrs Sutton, we perceive, is at Buffalo, giving concerts, with her husband and daughter, the latter a little girl who has just made a debut. One of the papere there speaks of them astollows :— —We noticed with much pleasure that Mrs. ed by Mr. Sutton, ani her daughter, who possesses extraordinary vocal powers, propo es givil another concertat the lecture room of the Young Me: Association, next Monday evening.

States, and think that Mrs. 8. is surpassed by none in the sweetness, power, and compass of her voice, aud the brilliancy, tase, and feeling of her execution.

On “ peeling,” Lilly presented a fine bust, shoulder and neck, the latter well and full shaped, and in all other respects he appeared to be in excellent condition, and showed the marks of his trainer McGee. McCoy on following suit, presented a much more full and expansive bust than his opponent, with less strength of neck, and not as hardy coloring of flesh. Lilly was seconded by McClister and Ford, McCoy by Sanford and Shanfroid. Lilly was the favoriie by small odds, and some few bets were offered and taken even, in addition to some six or seven thou- sand that had been previously posted on the result The men were both light weights, McCoy being about 137 while Lilly a little exceeded that point, and they were nearly the same age, being about 23 years.

Mr. Hill has withdrawn from the New York Museum, which he kept open at considerable Ides as he acknowledges in his card; and the centents of the National Muse- um were recently sold at auction under a landlord’s warrant. The location of the American Museum, its immense extent, (embracing six spacious halis,) its garden on the top, and its incomparable collection of curiosities, besides 1 great variety of talented en- tertainments, render it far superior to any similar establishment in America. We understand that the Common Council contemplate taxing all museums and exhibitions other than theatres $800 per year.
