W_YORK HERALD. ork, Tuesday, September 20, 154%. Casiver Movements.—We understand from Washington that the changes in the cabinet will take place about the beginning of October. Seecre- tary Upshur will probably go into the State Depart- ment—Mr. Cushing into the Treasur’ nd a nor v erm man into the Navy. John ©. Spencer will re- main where he is. During the recess the principal attention of the President and his cabinet will be giveato the formation of a scheme of currency to be presented at the next session of Congress. The plan will resemble that which: was Te commended at the lust session, with some slight change or modifi- cation. chad SED Canpipates rou yexe Mempers oF CoNnGRESs.— The primary meetings of the democratic party of this city, take place to-morrow evening, at which delegates are to be elected for the several wards, to ¢ four members of Congress and a candidate n for Senator. These nominations wiil be made on the 2d and 4th of October, the Senatorial being he first The very devil will be kicked up at the ward meetings. There will bea regular old fashioned row in the bloody sixth—a piteh fight and a knock down and drag out ia the eighth, and in the twellth we should’nt be surprized to hear that they had bursted the reservoir and tumbled either the Wood or Mooreites into Hurlgate. Look out fora full report ia the Herald the uext morning. The convention to neminate members of the As- sembly meet on the 10th. The nominations for, Congress will be made by the delegates in their re- spective districts, and not iu full convention For the third district, composed of the Ist, 2d, 3d, 4th and Sth wards, the democrats and Tyler men intend to nominate John L. Boyd, Esq. As the whigs have a large majority in that district, they can elect almost any man that they nominate, and probably J. P. Phenix will be theirman ; but if Mr. Boyd consents to serve, he will give his opponent a close chase, as there are more real Tyler men in those wards thanin the balance of the city. Fer- ris, one of the present members, and Aaron Vander- poel, reside in the second district, as also Wright Hawkes, who has recently returned from a tour in Europe. The Whig candidates already in the field in this district, which is the only one they can carry are Phoenix, Clark, Paterson, Tallman and Under- wood. The'tourth district is composed of the bloody 6th, the 7th, 10th and 13th wards, and the candidates are Wm B. Maclay, the preseat member of Assembly, and Elijah F. Purdy, of the Common Council. Pur- dy has the best chance. The fifth district, composed of the 8th, 9h, and 14th wards, have in nomination John McKeon, one of the present members, and Moses G, Leonard, of the Common Council. McKeon should never be thonght of fora moment. He isa poor twaddling article at best. The sixth district, consisting of the lth, 12th, 5th, 16th and 17th wards, has a number of candi- dates in the field, and among them are Fernando Wood and James G. Roosevelt, present members, Eli Moore, Col. Hepburn, (oh, crackee!) and Joha Dykeman. The contest will be between Wood and Moore. In the second district, composed of Kings and Richmonc, James A. Lott, present member of As- sembly, and Philip Crook are in the field; and in the first, comprising old Suffolk and Queens, we should not be surprised to see Churchil C. Cambrelling se- lected. Arriva or Mr. Cusnine, &c.—The Hon. Caleb Cushing arrived in town last night, and took lodg- ings ia the Astor House. Mr. Cushing will assume the management of the Treasury Department next month—Mr. Forward having made up his mind to resign in a bit of huff. Mr. Cushing is oa his way to Boston, and will pro- bably be there in time to attend the great meeting in Faneuil Hall, on Thursday evening, whea Mr. Webster will make his great speech, resigning the office of Secretary of State, and defining his trae position hereafter. Agreat curiosity is felt about this speech. It will disclose a very curious an\ unexpected state of things to the country. Pate Fients.—The public were somewhat sur- prised with our statement of Saturday, that Mc- Cleesky, who isin prison on the charge of murder, perpetrated in the recent prize fight, carried the ban- ner by the side of Mike Walsh, in the Spartan Band, in the recent jrocession. This is solemn faet—but not all. We understand that to the immortal Mike Walsh is the city principally indebted for the intro- duction of these brutal sporta into politics—and the organization into aclub of these prize fighters, to keep the peace at the polls. The whole history of these ‘matters will be given inafew days, Tricks upon Istigrants.—It is supposed that there is some collusion between some of the city authori- ties and the owners of certain vessels returning to Europe, for the purpose of forcing great numbers of immigrants back to Europe, merely for the sake of obtaining from them the passage money. Such a mercenary scheme is reprehensible in the highest degree. Multitudes of poor, but industrious and able-bodied persons, are thus driven back on the hopeless toil and grinding oppression from which they sought an asylum here, and who, had they been permitted, would have found comfortable homes in the distant West. It isto be hoped that appropriate measures will oe taken for the prevention of this despicable traffic in the hopes and tears of these poor people. Emigrants arriving here cannot be too frequently reminded that this country presents “ample room and verge enough” for the exerkise of the successful industry and honorable toil of many millions. The fertile plains and valleys of the West teem with the fruits of the earth, and the rapid influx of settlers is every day creating a fresh and rapidly increasing de- mend for the assistance of the mechanic and tiller of the ground. Why, then, should persons, with tieir feet already on our shores, forego these advan- tages and neglect to avail themselves of the thousand opportunities here afforded of acquiring that com- fortable subsistence which could never be attained by them inthe old world? Let not the emigrant, then, listen tothe false statements of interested in- dividuals relative to his prospects, but let him at once wend his way to the comfortable indepen- dence which assuredly awaite persevering industry in the fair fields of the West. Boz's Lerrers.—We understand that Boz has written a number of letters to several members of the committee who led him about town during his stay io New York. From these letters it appears that Boz is particularly savage against Bennett, of the Herald, and Benjamin, of the New World, and that a considerable portion of his forthcoming “American Notes” will be occupied with abuse of them, and all who oppose the copy-right law. All this is only according tothe “use and wont’ of our modern peripatetic literary bagmen. When Marry- att—that miserable, drunken vagabond—was in this country, he filled his books with a number of false- hoods of a similar character. Silk Ryckingham, that prince of itinerating almoners, also made up a portion of his volume in the same reputable way; and even calm, quiet, hypocritical Combe, could not re- sist the opportunity to follow the example of his amiable and respectable predecessors. We under- stand, however, the way in whieh very comfortably to manage Mr. Dickens. He is, to be sure, beyond the pale of our immediate jarisdiction. But we have got very responsible securities here for his good and peaceable behavior. Wo shall hold the entire Boz committee answerable, in their public, private and literary character, for all that is uttered by Boz. General George P. Morris, and his whole tail, will therefore look out for squalls. We have yet a great deal more to say about these matters. Transarcantic SreaMers.— Mr. Irvin, the man ger ofthe Great Western steamers has made a state. ment in several of the papers of yesterday morning, which does not, as we believe on good authority, represent correctly the state of matters relative to | the Great Western. The facts are these:—The | Great Western, separate and distinct from any other _ | concern, has been since she commenced sailing, a source of profit, and by her the company bave made money, The company have lost, not by the Great Western, but by otner speculations. It appears that the company have commenced building an iron steamer of three thousand tons, at an expense be- yond their means. On this iron steamer the com- pany first expended all their capital, next all the pro- fits realized by the Great Western, and then borrow- ed £40,000 or upwards fromthe bank. The result has been, that they are at present in a state of great embarrassment, and in order to extricate themselves from it, the company propose doing one of two things. They intend either to sell the Great Wes- tern and appropriate the proceeds for the completion of the iron steamer and run her; or, to dispose of the iron steamer, pay their debts and continue to run the Great Westera. ‘This is the true state of the case, and it is uncertain which of the two alterna- tives will be adopted. The agent has mystified the whole matter. We have now, however, given the correet statement of the case, and given it on the best authority. Recent Arrtvats.—Among® the passengers by the Great Western, were Dr. Childs and lady of this city. Br. C. has been travelling in England, 4 France, and we believe also in Italy, and hasbeen industriously engaged in the examination of ancient and modern aqueducts, and other public works of that description, in order to apply the knowledge thus acquired to the Croton Aqueduct, of which un- dertaking be was one of the commissioners. Dr. C. states, that during his extended tour, the only Ame- rican newspaper he could regularly find was the Heratp—that he found it at all the principal towns in England, and derived from it the information which he required. Sir William Drummond Stewart was also a pas- senger. This gentleman is proprietor of Murphy Castle, Perthshire, Scotland, and is one of the most eccentric and remarkable personages of the age. It is only a few years since he terminated a sojourn of seven years on both sides of the Rocky Moun- tains, where he employed himself in hunting the buffalo, wild boar, and other denizens of the Ame- rican forest. He frequently encamped with the In- dians. On arriving in this city, after his sojourn in the wilderness, Sir William exhibited a number of curious and remarkably interesting paintings, executed by an artist by whom he was accompa- aied. He isa man of very unassuming manners, remarkable taste, and considerable talent. We un- derstand that Sir William now intends proceeding to his old haunts, and resuming his forest life. An Oxp VerEeran.—A seaman named John Wolf- enden, lately attached to the U. S. ship North Caro- lina, who has been in the service nearly 45 years, has just received his discharge under the following circumstances:— He entered the navy in the year 1798; has conti- nued 1n the service without interruption up to the present time, and is now 77 years of age. Some time last fall, Captain Gregory proposed to this old veteran, that as he was now getting old, and had served so long and so honorably to himself, it would be advantageous to him to have his discharge, and be admitted to the Naval Asylum, in Philadelphia, where he would be well taken care of during the remainder of his life. The old tar, who has been in active service ever since he jeined the service and has been engaged in action many times, re- flected a moment, and after hitching up his o-no- we-never mention-ems, two or three times, replied, “T don’t think, Captain, as how it would look well for me to leave active sarvice till afterthe boundary question is settled, because you know if there should be a war, I should not like to have it said that I skulked.” Soon after it had been announced that Lord Ash- burton had coneluded the treaty setiling the bounda- ry question, the old veteran made application to Capt. Gregory for his discharge, and admission into the Asylum,saying, “that now the boundary question was settled, I thought I might as well go, and he- sides, you know, Captain,” said he, “ if any thing turns up, J can come back again.” Captain Gre- gory accordingly made the requisite representa- tions to the Navy Department, stating Old Wolfen- den’s long service and exemplary character, and the Secretary wrote the following letter, to be read to the crew, when his discharge was given him. Navy Department, 7th September, 1842. i Sin :— In discharging you from the Navy of the United States, with a view to your admission into the Naval Asylum at Philadelphia, I cannot allow the opportunity to pass with- ing my approbation of your conduct while in ‘our country. You have been reported to sa most exemplary man, always prompt in obeying the orders of your officers, faithful in the per- formance of your duties, and scrupulously exact in keep- ing your word. ’ Such conduct, while it is honorable to you, should be held up to the example of tad fellow-seamen ; I there- fore direct that this letter be read in the presence of the officers and crew of the U. 8. Ship North Carolina, and that you be honorably discharged from the service. And T wish you all the comfort and happiness in your old age which your good conduct so justly entitles you to. lam, fag peengent ‘our obedient servant, A. P. UPSHU! Ma. Joun Wourenpen, Seaman, U. 8. Ship North Carolina, N. York. Capt. Gregory purposed, on the first fine day, to have ordered all hands on deck, and read the letter to them, and then to have had the ship's boats man- ned, and to have accompanied and escorted the old veteran to the cars, cheering him as he left the ship, and also on the departure of the cars. Old Wolfen- den having heard of this, and possessing that modes- ty which always accompanies and distinguishes true merit, and which causes it to shrink from any display of its due reward, applied one morning last week to the officer of the deck for a boat, exhibit- ing his discharge, and saying that he wanted to go. The boat was accordingly given him, and he de- parted without the privity of Captain Gregory, thus depriving him of the opportunity of manifesting the regard he entertained for his meritorious conduct, and obliging him to read the letter to the crew with- out the presence of him whom it was more espe- cially intended to honor. This was accordingly done on Sunday, after divine service, and the letter will be forwarded to him at the Asylum. Such an example as thisoid tar hasset is one that may be copied with benefit by many in our naval service, officers as well as seamen, and ought to be acaution to our honorable Members of Congress how they treat with contumely a branch of our means of detence, which boasts of spirits such as that we have here mentioned. A New Apost ik In Tae Fistp.—Elisha Burchard, brother of the celebrated Burchard, who preach- ed a few years ago in this city, and consigned us to the infernal regions, is about to make his debut as a temperance lecturer, and drive Charles H. Delevan from the field. Mr. B. has had a long and very in- timate experimental acquaintance with the science —he has been a drunkard for fifteen years. He has enjoyed an experience of drunkenness in all its stages, from the highest flight of imagination. “His eye in a fine frenzy rollin To the last stage of prostrate adoration in the ter. gat fle is now, however, ‘‘clothed and in his right mind,” and is fully prepared to spread amongst Jew and Gentile, bound and free, the blessings of so- briety. Symptoms or Prack.—We understand that orders were received yesterday ai Fort Hamilton, from the War Department, to dismount allthe guns which had been got in readiness during the last few months.— This fort, as well as Lafayette, is in fine fighting or- der, and a walk round the batteries is very delighi- ful. On Fort Hamilton thirty guns were monnted. —_—_—_ Arrarrs 1x Caxapa.—It is thought that there will soon be a dissolution of the Provincial Parliament. Appearances indicate as much, Hours Later Prom Evrors—Amrivat or Tux Acapia—The steam ship Acadia arrived at Boston on Sunday afternoomat 2 0’clock. ‘That enterprising firm, Harnden & Co., imme- diately despatched a special express to this city, and we are, therefore, indebted to them for the news to the 4sh instant inclusive. It has, however, been mostly anticipated by the Great Western. It was brought from New Haven in tne fine and fast steamer New Champion, Capt. Stone. We have »no list of passengers by the Acadia. She landed 28 at Halifax, received 12 at that port, and brought 52 to Boston. It certainly appears by this that the Great Western not only beat the Aca- dia in speed, but in number of passengers. ‘There had been no alteration in cotton at Liver- pool. Sales on the 3d inst. reached 2500 bags, most- ly to the trade. The best brands of flour advanced sixpence on the 3d. It was a spurt only. It had been clearly ascertained that the harvest would be a full average one. The disturbances in the manufacturing and min- ing districts were considered as over, yet some symptoms of turbulence occasionally appeared, and the people generally seemed indisposed to return to work until absolutely driven to it by personal sul- fering. Agitation, agitation was still going on. The telegraphic report in relation to sickness in the Indian army is untrue. > The Augsburg Gazette, of the 24th ultimo, states that an extensive conspiracy, having for its object the overthrow of the present government, has been discovered in Servia. Several persons of importance have been placed under arrest According to the Berlin Gazette, the public debt of Russia, in the beginning of 1842, amounted to 281,288,760 silver rables. In the course of the pre- ceeding year 19,812,280 rubles ef the Five per Cent Loan, and 20,611,276 of the Six per Cent Loan,were redeemed. The paper money in circulation had not diminished. On the Ist of January last it was 595,- 776,310 rubles. The British and North American Royal Mail steampacket Campany’s new steamship, Hibernia, will be launched at Greenock on the 8th current.— She is two hundred tons saree than the present ves- sels, and of greater powe' ‘apt. Judkins, of the Columbia, will command her. Capt. Edward C Miller, formerly of the Acadia, takes command of the Columbia. With respect to the merits of the boundary treaty, as we suppose it may now be considered as conclu- ded, we confess that on the whole we regard it rath- er with satisfaction than otherwise. We will go. further :—if it is to be considered as the price of peace, we suy we regard it with unmixed satisfac- tion. True, we have conceded a large portion of the territory in dispute; true, we have yielded what we haae hitherto maintained, and as we think, justly, to be only our true and legitimate right; true, we have given up positions ani granted privi- leges which were indisputably ours,and wnich were therefore pure and absolute gifts ; but in return we have got, so far as the disputed territory is concern- ed, all for which we wanted that territory or that could muke it valuable to us or te any one else— viz: so much of that territory as is sufficient to se- cure the communication between Frederickton and Guebess we have got sufficient space secured to us along the whole right bank of the St. Lawrence; we have, in short, substantially got the disputed territo ry, for we have got all that we could use of it; and we have got, besides, we believe we may say the blessings of peace—henorable, and we hope, lasting peace. But we suspend our further judgment in this matter until we hear more of thedetails of the sub- ject. This much, however, we may say—that al- though of course no dishonorable cession would bz wort ranking eves to avert so great a calamity as war between Britain and America, and that for this reason—viz: that it would be ineffectual for the at- tainment of that purpose ; yet that the present ces- sion, certainly, as {far as appears, is dishonorable to neither party. The substantial benefit of both coun- tries has been secured by it ; andif either party may be thought to have sacrificed more of mere tempo- ral and material advantage than the other, in order to secure the adjustment of the question, we unhesi- tatingly affirm that to that party the greater honor belongs; and if England shail be deemed to be the party which has done so, for her we gladly claim that honor.—7imes. The case of the unfortunate passengers ef the ship Mersey, to which we have frequently directed pub- lie attention, is now about toterminate. It will be remembered that she was put back to Greenock, in May last,having sailed from Liverpool in November previous, and undergone a series of misfortunes, which we have already sufficienly explained. These have been altogether of a most disastrous nature to the fo r passengers, who left Liverpool for New York att ve date, and are now no nearer theirdesti- tion than the West Quay. But we have much plea- sure inf stating the parties who are now become owners of the ship, have very honorably granted a free passage to all the remaining passe! eighty) who resolutely remained onboard during all her wayward wanderings and Preneeet ome on the deep, and also since her arrival in our harbor prose- cuting their various trades of shoemakers, tailors, barbers, and ultimately opening agrcery shop on the lower deck. We say all are to have a free pas- sage granted to them by the owners; and in order that they may have eufficient supplies of ipeorsiont, they have headed a public subscription for that pur- pone with a handsome sum, which has been followed y liberal donations trom the more respectable of our merchants and ship owners. This is very gratifying and honorable to all concerned, and though only commenced on Saturday afternoon, it is believed that all will be ready to permit her to sail once more to-day or to-morrow at farthest.—Glasgow Chron. Markets, State or Trape—Mancuesren, Sept. 2 —The remark has been pretty general this week, that business has been upon the whole not so active as was previously the case, more particularly as regards the heavier descriptions of goods, as fustians, velveteens, &c. The stock of printing cloths is setting itd low, and hence ciehtine prices being generdlly asked, buyers are but little disposed to operate, except for pressingYemergencies. There con- tines to be a good demand for yurn, which will doubtless continue to the end of the season. Many of the spinners are, unfortunately, tied to old orders, which they must now execute at a considerable disadvantage. ‘The ad. vance generally asked is id te jd per lb.; that obtained has seldom been more than 4d on the lowest rates. Amstexpam-—In the Amsterdam market, during the week ending Monday, August 29th, coffee had been with- out change, the better Java sorts being in more request; however, tea maintained its price, and tobacco was quiet. Cotton was the same, holders being firm, though very lit- tle was pong In raw sugar the public sales at Rotterdam went off well, and privately not much hud been done.— American pot ashes were at 18f in bond. Geneva, Am- sterdam proof, was at 16} to 18f. _ _Hamsuna.—The report of the’ Hamburg markets dur- ing the week ending Friday, the 26th of August, states that a goed business was done in coffee. Large sales of Carolina rice were made for exportation, about 600 tons, and partly at higher rates. In pimento there was no change. Cassia Lignea was firmer; Domingo tobacco at auction averaged 6} to 66-16 sch. A good business has been done in hides. Pot ashes were flat. Fine butter was without change.

The elections are over, and the anticipa- ted troubles in the political affairs of the Province are atanend. The government were again victo- rious in their choice of Delegate to the seat of go. vernment, and all seems te coincide with the wishes of the most intelligent portion of the community. Picking Pockers at tue Hera Botcetin.— So numerous are the crowds who lounge around the Herald Bulletin Board, to read the news, that the pickpockets have also begun to frequent the same place to pursue their peculiar ayocation. A young man yesterday had his pocket picked of his pocket book, while standing in that position. Fortunately, however, it only contained a few useless papers. When you read the news on ourBulletin Board, always put your hands on your pockets if you have any thing in them. Storm anv Fresnet at Westrrern.—The storm of the night of the 1th was very severe at Weet- field,Chaatauque county. Wilkins’ dam was washed away, and J. Farmsworth Jr., F. Waters, S. Rum- sey, C. Rumsey, and Mr. Cochrane sustained losses. Thunder pealed terrifically. The lake shore of Chautauque county,particularly in the neighborhoed of Westfield, seems peculiarly subject to severe thunder storms, There was a terrific one in that Tegion sometime in the spring. ‘Tarataicats.—The arrival of Celeste and the announcement of her engagement at the Bowery, have created a great sensation in the theatrical world, It appears that she will produce four or five dramas of great interest, and peculiarly adapted for the display of her remarkable pantomimie powers, and unsurpassed grace asa danseuse. It is supposed that Celeste willdraw crowded heuses, and return the olden times of prosperity to the Bowery theatre, which has of late years been gradually sinking, in consequence of the folly, want of talent, and bad taste of Hamblin, who has recently been obliged, asa last resource, to resort to brutal and disgusting exhibitions by prize fighters. Mad. Celeste was the great cause of the early good fortunes of this estab- lishment. The aggregate receipts during her first engagement, amounted to no less a sum than $60,- 000, half of which went into the pockets of —twenty-eight thousand dollars were received by Madame Celeste, This accomplished artiste now appears amongst us in as favorable a posi- tionas ever. She is not a mere dancer, but has united with the greatest perfection in that branch of her profession, talents in pantomime far superior to those of any performer at present on the stage. The revival of the Bowery will be singularly interesting in its effeet on the other theatres. The Park and Olympic will probably suffer; but the Chatham, whose success depends on its quick succession of attractive novelties, and retains its moderate prices, will doubtless continue as prosperous as ever. But perhaps the most astonishing effect may be seen in a reformation of the conduct, demeanor and cha- racter of Hamblin. It 18 possible that under the in- fluence of the auspicious genius of Mad. Celeste, even Tom Hamblin may become a gentleman. Arrival or THE Sream Frigate Mississirri.— The United States’ steam frigate ‘‘ Mississippi,” Captain W. D. Salter, arrived on Sunday evening, and anchored in the lower bay at 7 o'clock, from Pensacola, which port she left on the 10th inst. The following vessels of war were left at Pensa- cola, all well: the Falmouth, Commander MeIn- tosh ; Ontario, Commander Randolph ; Brig Dol- phin, Commander Rudd ; Brig Boxer, Lieut. Com- mandant Bullus; and the French Corveite La Brilliante. On the Ith inst. in latitude 29° 42 north, longi- tude 86° 55 west, the Mississippi fell in with and spoke the schooner Comet, of Mystic, Conn., tor New York, from Key West, whence she sailed on the 3d inst. ;the same day encountered a severe hurricane, which drove her down the gulf—was leaking badly, but declined receiving any assistance and gave the Captain the latitude and longitude. He said it was his intention to return to Key West, and requested to be reported. Lieut. Charles Stedman, late of the Brig Dolphin, came passenger in the steam frigate,invalided. The following is a list of the officers attached to the Mis sissippi:— Captain, Wm. D. Salter; Commander, Franklin Buchan- an; 1st Lieutenant, Charles H. McBlair; 2d do. A. H. Mar- ere do. Wm. Chandler; 4th do. Rob’t E. Hove; 5th do. Richard Wainwright; Acting Master,R. D. Izard; Surgeon, John A. Lockwood ; Purser, Joseph Bryan ; " Surgeon, Wm. E. Coale ; Chief ineer, John Farson ; Captain’s Clerk, Jerre Gideon ; ipmen, Samuel Edwards, Charles F. Hopkins, Jonathan Young, Charles , Joseph Parrish, J. 8. Byers, George B. Douglass, W. P. Harrison ; Boatswain, Robert Whitaker ; Gunner, Charles Skiddy ; Carpenter, Wisner ; Sailmaker, T. Herbert ; Assistant Engineers, D. B. Martin, Hem Hunt, N. C. Davis, J. Rutherford, J. Follanshee, W. Mercien ; Master’s Mates, W. C. Cardwell, J.C. Ritter, George Crosby. The Mississippi came up yesterday morning, ané now lies off the Navy Yard. Ovrrace tv Rocuester.—An effort was made on the 16th inst. to rob the house of H. E. Roches- ter,in Rochester. Three villains entered the house and attempted to murder the inmates previous to committing any robbery; but they became fright- ened and fled. Mr. R. was somewhat injured by a blow he received from one of the rascals. [n their flight they dropped a loaded pistol. 0G A contemporary asks why Noah is like Tyler. And answers, ‘ Because he is at the head of the Union.” We havea better conundrum than this. — Why is old Noah like a dishcloth pinned to a boy’s skirt? Do you give it up? Because he is at the tail of the son (Sun). ‘Who’s the next custom- er?” Gg What’s the reason that the pilots took up the Great Western‘at night, but would not bring up the steamer Mississippi? Can any body tell? Can the pilots tell ? Qcg- If you want toabegin the fall well, go to 25 Courtlandt street, and take one of Mrs. Carroll's vapour baths. They take out of you every thing like fever or cold. Preventive Porice.—Why will not the Corpora- tion at once establish a paid preventive police? This is the only system that can preserve peace and order in New York. More Recutar.—We learn from Naseau, N. P., that the West India mail steamers call at the seve- ral Islands with more regularity now than formerly. Better late than never. Susquenanna.—The Susquehanna still continues very high. Much produce, lumber, &c. is on its way toa market by the river route. Movements.—Mrs. § Sutton is gi ‘ing Concerts in Rochester—De Goni and Knoop in Buffalo. Navat.—The U. 8. frigate Congress, Cantain J. Vorhees,sailed from Gibraltar 10th August—all well. Movstcar—Tae Irattian Orzra.—What has be- come of it? We fear the worst. Signor De Beg- nis may get subscribers, but will they pay? The last Italian opera attempted here had 500 subscribers —buton the settlement of accounts, only 80 paid up. Those who are fashionable enough to patro- nise opera,are also generally fashionable enough ne- ver to do so vulgar a thing as to pay for it. Nisto’s.—We perceive with pleasure the admira- ble comic pantomime of Mazulme resumes its posi- tion at this establishment for a few nights longer, in compliance with the wiehes of numerous families who have not yet witnessed its splendid scenery.— It will be preceded by Gabriel and the family on the rope, and a pas by the graceful Miss Wells. Let it be remembered the liberal proprietor of these Gar- dens takes his annual benefit to-morrow night. Cuatnam Tueatrr.—This popular establishment was last night filled to overflowing, as a matter of course, the bill for the evening being the popular piece of Jack Cade by Mr. Forrest, supported by Miss Clifton as Marianne.

Bartimore, Sept. 19, 1842. Mr. Eprror :— An taking a stroll yesterday, through Green Mount Cementery, the boast and beauty of our city’s envi- rons, I was peculiarly struck with a monument re- cently erected to Lieutenant L. P. Jones, who was killed last fall, near Fort M. Henry, by being acci- dentally thrown from his horse, in the twinty-third year of his age. The monument is remarkably chaste and appropriate in itsdesign. It 1s the admi- ration of all who visit that delightful resting-place of perishing humanity. John Jones of the Madisonian, it i u about to be given an office ieee und @ ties, and the Court Journal over which he hasso faithfully presided, is shortly to be merged-into the Globe, and Isaac Hill of New Hampshire, and one of the present incumbents, F.

The lion will shortly lie down with the lamb, and a littie child shall feed them all—whether to destruction or not, is a question to be settled hereafter. We aré shortly to have a new steamboat line es- tablished between this and Philadelphia, in opposi- tion to the regular line. The fare 1s to be made at about one half the present price.

This morning the editor of the “ Norristown Herald,” published in the shape of a card to the public his grievances and disap- pointments in not receiving office at the hands of Jonathan R oberts, as was promised him, and fastens upon the late Collector, by the publica‘ion of private letters and the retailing of private conversations,the charges of “falsehood” and ‘ ungentlemanly” conduct, quite as effectually as the Collector fasten- ed them upon the President. Where these “‘expo- sés” and the indignation consequent upon them are to end, is more than I can determine. _ On Saturday night, about ten o’clock, there was a simultaneous ringing of fire bells, and a general turn out of firemen. In Southwark there was a mos: disgraceful fight, at which brickbats were hurled so indiscriminately, that it was felt necessary to close the me windows in the neighborhood. At Eighth and Callowhill streets there was also another severe and most brutal collision. , A “breakman” on the Reading Railroad, in fix- ing the “break,” in descending the declivity be- yond the bridge near the Inclined Plane, on Friday morning, was precipitated upon the track and lost an isa and leg; at least they were dreadfully shat- tered.

Ohio 6’s rose 3, Har lem fell }, Mohawk 3, Long Island }. ‘When Silas M. Stilwelt went out from here in the Bri- tish Queen, for Europe, it was reported that he hed des- patches connected with the ‘Treasury Department. In answer to this statement, the Madisonian of the 11th August contained the followin Weare authorized to give an Lg nn denial of the report so confidently stated in the he Mr, Stilwell bears no despatches, nor gr with any business from the Treasury ent. Gentlemen now in this city, arrive in the Great West- ern, saw Mr. Stilwell in Amsterdam, and were present when he exhibited credentials from the department rela- tive to the loan. It is no wonder that, all circumstances of discredit and repudiation considered, that the department was ashamed of acknowledging a connection with the author of the Bankrupt Law,fand one of the first to accept its provisions. It appears, however, that utter ill success attends the mission. Mr. Robinson, one of the agents, is recreating at Baden-Baden, and the other is said to be leoking after a more pleasing, if not a more profitable speculation. Some commotion was created in the New Orleans mo ney-market, on the 10th inst., in consequence of a decision in the City Court, adverse to the legality of the ordinance of the Munigipality on the 2ist June last, imposing an import and export duty on produce and merchandise, in the form of a wharfage tax. The decision was by Thos. J. Cooley, senior Judge, as follows:— vu the whole, therefore, I am of inion that the ‘ofttamnsa passed by the ee Noa on the ist June, 1842, and approved on the 23d of the same month, is af violation of the Constitution of the United States, in so far as it imposes a duty or tax on exports from the limits of the said municipality. The object of the tax was to redeem the notes of the municipality in circulation, and which forms the chict circulation of the city of New Orleans. This decision, therefore, caused a panic in those notes, and they fell to twenty per cent discount, causing great loss to the public, and disturbance in the money market, by which business is retarded and prices unsettled. The constant fluctuation in those vile city shinplasters, has already cost the poorer class of citizens in New Orleans more money than the face of the whole issue, besides banishing coin and the bills of specie paying banks from circulation. Were it not for the abominable legislation on currency maiters in Louisi the business of that section would rapidly im- prove. Specie is now flowing there from all quarters, particularly from this city. $30,000 in specie arrived there on the 10th inst. in theship St. Mery, hence, to the City Bank. Probably $500,000 have arrived there, from all quarters, since the discredit of the insolvent banks, and the stream will increase as the business of the new crop increases the cash basis. Yet the constant effort of the legislators seemsto be to check trade and to perpetu- ate a depreciated paper currency. ‘We recently called fora statement of the Bank of Ben- nington, Vermont.
