The Public—Paper Makers—Readers— Advertisers, Business of all kinds continues to revive to such particularly in the circles of cash trade and fre exter quent sales, that we feelit ¥éry sensibly in our particular line. The agregate circulation of the Heaato is now considerably over 30,000 copies, throughout all the most | intelligent and business classes of society in this country —an! particularly in New Nork and the large Atlantic cities. It is also increasing at the rate of £00 per week. Our advertisements have elso, during the last few weeks, Jnereased so much, that we shall be compelled in a short | time to increase our size—without, however, increasing | tue prices, either of subscription or of advertising. ~queuce thereof of these events, notice is hereby | makers that we now invite their offers for | sctof paper, of the same good quality on which the | The pre sisie is equal to 32 inches by 23.

Our consumption of paper is equal to nearly $90,000 per annum—all paid for veokly iu cash as received—being the largest quantity aud aiue of paper consumed by any newspaper establishment in this country. Paper manufacturers will please to hand in their terms on which they will eater upon such ite and the 20th of a contract, ay time between thi October.

New Youx, § aber IMPORTANT FROM WASHINGTON, Great Movement contemplated by President Lyler=Plan of Settling all the Open Ques- tlons of the Day. We have intelligence from Washington of the most important interest to the republic, and to foreiga nations—more so than has taken place in many years. This intelligence comes to us from such a quarter, and in such a shape, that we place the greatest reliance in its accuracy, and have the most sanguine hopes of its success. We learn that John Tyler, the fearless and honest Chlef Magistrate, has a plan in contempla- ion, by which the currency—the tariff—the public lands—distribution—assumption, and all the finan- cial questions, conneeted with the general and Sate governments, may be finally presented to the next Congress, and forever settled on the most stable basis, and most just and honorable principles, to all int and all parties. Po.ice Rerorm.—There is avery good article, mixed up, however, a8 usual, with a considerable juantity of the prejudice, illiberality, cant and hy pocrisy of Greeley, in the Tribune of yesterday, in favor of police reform. This article appears to have been elicited by the tragical results of the re- cent horrible prize-fight. It will be utterly impossi- ble, however, as every reflecting man must see, to effect any reform in the present miserably inefficient police system in this city, unless all political parties unite in an earnest, friendly effort, for the attain- ment of this great object. All parties must co-ope- rate unanimously as friends of the city, of the coun- try, of justice and the laws. And if any thing can unite our citizens, and induce them to forget politi- cal differeaces, surely this movement can—a move | ment which has tor its object the preservation of tneir lives, and properties, and the peace and good order of society. ‘The murder of McCoy, about which so much just indignation has been properly expressed, is not, | it should ever be recollected, the only recent atro- cious act, which demands a thorough and efficient | reform of the police system. That murder, pecu- | Liarly appalling as it was, does not exhibit in gréater or more glaring characters, the demoralization of society, and the inefficiency of the administration, of the laws, amongst us, than did the :vurder of Cilley, or the bloody duel between Webb and Mar- shall. Yet, certain of those very papers which ex- press such eloquent denunciation against the pu- gilist, who has slain his fellow-man, are most po- litely and charitably silent respecting the crime of the duellist!' Even Grand Juries, incredible as it may sound inthe ears of the friends of justice and the law—even Grand Juries seem to favor this dis- tinction, and wink at the “ honorable” murderers. The open violation of the law perpetrated by Webb, has been before several Grand Juries, and besides other influences, that of Governor Seward has been exercised in order to prevent any action from being taken for the vindication of the supremacy of the law, invaded by that act. If we are to have a reform, let it be a reform that will reach Wall-street, as well as Ann-street. Let it be a reform that will tell upon the gamblers and murderers in Wall-street, as well as in the lower haunts of drunkenness and crime. We do not want a system which will ensure the punishment of the vulgar prize-fighter, whilst gentlemen brokers and assassins are permitted to strut abroad with im- punity. We want such an efficient and powerful administration of the law, as will detect and punish offenders against the peace and safety of society, wherever they may be found, to whatever grade they may belong, and by whatever influence they may seek to shield themselves from the just con- sequences of their crimes. And, as we have already said, to obtain such a system, the peaceable, the orderly, the patriotic, the good and loyal citizens of all parties must unite in one vigorous effort. ‘The time hae fully come for such an eflort. If the start- ling admonitions which the community have re- cently received, be now neglected, does it require a prophet, or a voice from heaven to predict that ere long, the duty, now so clearly indicated, will be again pointed out, by some far more extensive and terrible catastrophe ? Boz’s “ Norgs on America.”—Among the letters written by Boz to the literateurs and his toadies in this city, and which have been received per the Great Western, is one to Major Jack Downing, another to Clark, of the Knickerbocker, and a third to Geo. P. Morris. These three epistles are,it seems, couch- ed in pretty much the same strain. We shall endea- vor to procure one of them for publication ina few days, but in the meantime, it is not difficult to anti- cipate the nature of their contents. The burden of Boz’s viturperative epistles seems to be abuse of Ben- nett—an individual who, according to all accounts, endeavored to do more honor to Boz than any other person in these regions, by getting up the famous and never-to-be-forgotten ‘* Boz Ball,” in the finest style, For Conoress.—The Ward meetings of the De- mocrats to-night, to select delegates to nominate candidates for Congress in the several distriets, wi!! be accompanied with any given quantity of rio’, rowdyism, broken heads and bloody noses, fui! particulars of which will be found in the Herald of to-morrow. The contest in the 6th, 7th, 10th and 13th, is between Purdy and Maclay, the former ot whom will, in all probability, be selected by the de- legates chosen. i In the 8th, 9th and 14th wards, the friends of Moses G. Leonard and John McKeon test the mat- ter. Leonard will carry his own ward, the 9th, al- most unanimously, and most probably the other two. McKeon is too much of a political demagogue to carry the feelings of the people with him. He was taken up before merely by chance. In the 1th, 12th, 15th, 16th and 17th, the fight is between the friends of Fernando Wood and Eli Moore. In the 17th we anderstand that John J. Roosevelt intends to make a brush—if so, he will be brushed out of political existence. In the Ist, 2d, 3d, 4th and 5th, the Whigs have such a majority that the Democrats will have to persuade some man to maxe a stand, and allow himself to be abused for the honor of the thing. Great fun about these days. Travetting Wesrwarp.—Sir William D. Stew- art, the celebrated traveller and boar-hunter of the Rocky Mountains, does not depart till next spring for his prairie haunts in the west. Before his embarkation in England for this coun- try, he had just returned from a journey in Russia, and the rapidity with which he passed from St. Pe- tersburgh to New York would astonish the people of the last century, although no novelty to those of the present. In his last journey to the Rocky Mountains, Sir William discovered traces of the Welsh lan- guage and customs, which had been planted on the North West coast by some shipwrecked Welshmen, long anterior to the discovery of this continent by Columbus. The solution of this mystery will be quite interesting. Memuers or ConGress ror THe Lower Warps.— There will be a great competition among the whigs forthe nomination of Members of Congress from the first, second, third and fifth wards. Whoeveris no- minated will be elected, hence the warmth of the contest. Alderman Underwood is a candidate, but he can do the State more service in the Common Council, by endeavoring to give us an efficient po- lice. Aaron Clark is also a candidate; he, how- ever, would make a much better Mayor of the City, if it were possible to put him in that office. Mr. Tallman is also proposed,but of him we don’t know much. The best man by all odds is Mr. Phaxnix— he has suffered more in pocket for the benefit of the whig party and to no purpose, than any vther mem- ber of it. He isa liberal and generous man and would be a good Congressman from those wards.— We trust he may be nominated. Avoruer New Parer.—We understand that ano- ther uew Tyler paper is projected, to be conducted by N. P. Wikis, T. N. Parmelee, Dr. Alexander Jones, and Timothy Pippin. Mr. Parmelee is to manage the politics—Mr. Willis the literature and fashion—Mr. Pippin the business reports—and Dr. Jones will advance the capital and conduct the general business of the concern. There will also be two or three reporters engaged—and altogether it will be a strong team. N. B. If they have not otherwise made arrange- ments—we will execute the presswork, payable in cash, on as reasonable terms as any other estab- lishment will. We have no doubt this project will succeed better than Beach’s evening edition ef the Sun, alias the penny Union, including Noah and his tail, as long as from this city to Mount Carnel and back. AGatn In THE Freup.—We understand that Ro- bert Hoe, the ingenious machine manufacturer, is again in the field of industry. Under the pressure and equalled only by the Pickwickian originality, Daring his sojourn in Virginia, Mr. Tyler has frequently contemplated this grand project, and he has set on foot measures to collect information on the different points, so as to enable him to present the plan at the opening of the next session of Con- gress—or perchance he will call the new Congress on the 4th of March next, and present it to that body, fresh from the people. Several of the leading ideas of this grand plan of settlement have been divulged’ to us—but they are not sufficiently matured by facts and other evidence, so as to caable us to present them to the public in their proper habiliments. We shall do so as soon as possible. From this project it is very evident that John Ty- er uaderstands his singular position, and the great crisis in which Divine Provideuce has placed him in the movements of this republic. If his purposes and his nod.e views are supported by the country and Congress, we may see, in less than nine months, a National currency established without the dangerof a corporation—the credit of broken down States re- stored—the resources of the General Government ap- plied to proper uses—the tariff and public land ques- tionssettled on just principles—trade revived—manu- factarers flourishing—and the whole country a smi- ling garden To-morrow we shall enter more at length on this plan, and develope some of the beneficent views of the President. In the meantime, let the politicians toil, and the office beggars abuse—the President will do his duty to his country—to his God—and to himself. We have an honest man—not a party chief—for the President of the United States. Gover anv Goueine.—Mr. Gouge, in furnishing what he calls “commercial matter,” for the Morn- ing Post, takes one day from the columns of this paper, tables of compilation, and on the next, at- tempts to criticise them. We recently gave, ex- clusively, a comparative table of the exports of the Uaited Srates for a series of years. In the table for 1511, we aide! together Rye and Indian Meal, mi csiug $32),992. In tuishe alledges we made an error ol ngures, aad ounitted [adian Meal. From the meretricious reputation Mr. Gouge had acquired, much was expected from him, when he «ged himself with the New Era, but this ex- o has been singularly disappointed. A recent © between him and the Courier man, on the abstract nature of currency, was the most absurd and idle with which the community was ever bored Last year the subject was worn thread bare in the London papers. These tyros have not yet got as far as those papers started from. We remember Mr. Gouge, some years since, in the Pailadelphia Gazette, when he filled his paper with long insulting articles, containing a quantity of facts without order, classification, point or appli- cation They reminded us very much of the schooners which it is said are manufactured down east, several miles long, and, when a purchaser appears, a quantity is sawed off to order. Two ends are then put in, and it is fit for sea. pec dic Finsr Democratic Movement ror tHe Presi. elegance, and genius of Boz’s novels. We under- stand that in his letter to Major Jack Downing, or Caleb Quotem, who corresponds with all the world and the Emperor of China, Dickens requests him to send Bennett and Benjamin over to England to effect the assassination of Sir Robert Peel,far the sufficient reason that no two persons can at present be found in England sufficiently hardended in iniquity to ac- complish that decd ; the epistle closing with—“ Kate sends you all sorts of love !” We hope that Major Jack Downing will go to work instanter and catch the two savages thus indicated and transport them to England on the remarkable mission to which they have been called by Boz. If Major Jack should happily by this operation make money enought to pay the $60,000 he ewes to the Baltimore Life and Trust Company, some persons would be considerably rejoiced at the result. Seriously, however, this work of Boz in America will be a curious production. It will show that the miserable, ignorant, conceited toadies who sur- rounded Mr. Dickens during his sojourn here, have given him the most incorrect and distorted views of American society, and that Boz in consequence knows just as much about it as any of the fleeting tourists who have travelled for a month or two in the States, and returned to Europe without a single ac- curate idea respectingAmerican manners or Ameri- can institutions. Ex-Consuts.—We have, at present, several ex- Consuls in this city, who are earnestly endeavoring to stir up the elements, in order to ride into some- thing or other. Mr. Grund has recently returned from some place in Germany with the purpose of in- quiring into the reasons of his rejection by the Sen- ate during its late session. He will blow up the whigs. Mr. Carr, also, has returned, and seeks to ferment a war between this country and the Bey of Tripoli, Softly, softly, gentlemen, if we can pro- cure you a snug birth in the Custom House at $1000 or $2000 a year, will you be quiet, peaceable, con- tented citizens? Meanness.—The Philadelphia Ledger, and seve- ral of the southern papers,have had the meanness to copy without due acknowledgment, the intelligence received by us by the Great Western, and forward- ed in advance of all the other papers. This is not the first, second, or third time in which the Ledger has been thus guilty. {nthe present case its con- duct is particularly mean, as sent the news so much in advance of the other papers. We have no idea of suffering such ingratitude to pass with im- punity News Movement in Boston.—It is said that Harn- den & Co. intend startinga news room on an extensive scale in Boston. It is to be located in the Merchants’ Exchange, a magnificent new building, nearly finished, in State street. Such an establish- ment has long been wanted inthat city. With eve- ry facility fornews, with steam ships, sailing ships, and railroads, running to every point of the com- pass, it is strange thatno news room has ever been started there. There is a reading room in that city now called Toplift’s, but it is not worth a button, and cannot be called a news room. It would be much bet- terina country village than in Boston. It is con- ducted with little energy, and less enthusiasm, and the merchants of that city will have reason to feel thankful to Harnden & Co. for establishing rooms worthy of their support—a place where they can learn that the world wags daily. We would not have such a reading room as that of Toplifi's in this city. We would nothave aroom penxcy—Tue Warp Meerings.—The Ward Meet- ings to be held to-night will determine the relative strength of Van Buren and Calhoun among the de- moeratic politicians in this city. Great interest isfelt on this peint—and it will be & question applied to every man—as candidates for any office. It is generally supposed that the Calhoun men will make agreat rally, but that the Yan Buren men will defeat them by superior in- trigue, mystery and concealment. The best policy tor the Calhoun men is to declare openly their hand and to meet the crises atonce, by putting down ul secret cliques and clubs. conducted with such a small quantity of spirit. It has been in existence for upwards of fifteen years, and is the same now as when first opened. Ithas not advanced with the progress of intelligence, and never will be a bit better than it is at this present moment, What nonsense it isto support such a concern. Yet the proprietor thereof has wealthy. When Harnden & Co world will know what is till then. become get their room open. the doing in Boston and not of the times, and the screws af the Butchers’ and Drovers’ Bank, this house was shut up a few weeks ago. The click ot the hamer ceased. But it seems that an English manufacturer, more liberal than a bank, acquainted with the Hoes, purchased the whole establishment the other day, which was sold under execution. They have placed the Hoes in their old establishment, as agents and managere— and from the industry and integrity of the brothers, we have no doubt their latter days will be far hap- pierand more prosperous than their former. See the holy book of Job for the authority. Tueatricats.—A good deal of discontent is be- ginning to be generated amongst the small penny-a- liners and the petty actors around the different thea- tres, about the movements of Celeste. They con- sider her as a species of splendid monopoly in thea- trical business. Her engagement at the Bowery will, undoubtedly,injure members of the lower order of the profession,and it is quite possible that theymay get up a very respectable opposition to her in some of the small papers. We shall see, however, how these discontented elements will operate. In the meantime, we advise Celeste to be very careful how ehe gives credit to any manager of any theatre in this country. Mad. Celeste should have her cash every night after playing. We understand that Mr. Booth left the Bowery Theatre in consequence of not being paid his salary. These are hard times— short payments and hard cash are the only appropri- ate principles of action. Burcnery 1n Cutna.—We find the following pa- ragraph in the London Sun of the 3d inst.,relative to the last battle in Chii Arrangements were made for an attack in three columns, two of which were gallantly led we H. Gough and Sir W. Parker in person. othing could exceed the bravery of the troops. They con- trived to surround the Chinese, and quite bewiliered them. The carnage was dreadful, being more a butchery than a battle. Ignorant of the laws of civilized warfare, the poor creatures knew not how to surrender, and were massacred. Not less than a thousand of the: 1, including a great number of Mandarins, were killed, or drowned in the canals ; whereas of the British troops only three were kille and twenty-two wounded. The encampments, and such of the buildings as had been occupied by the enemy, were burned, amd the grain magazines faa a to the populace, who speedily emptied jem. According to this, the English forces were gal- lantly led on to one of the most horrible butcheries on record! Nrsto’s.—Prorriztor’s Benerir.—The caption will fill the gardens—for who so deserving of a pub- lic compliment as Wm. Niblo: but ‘on their own merits modest men are dumb.” So, not relying on his just deserts,which would assuredly be met, he gives out by far the most attractive bill of the sea- son, to wit:—M. Dechalumeau, The Night Owl, a delicious duett from Norma, on the flute and oboe, by those eminent professors, Signors Riba and Ramatta, Instrumental Concert, and such a magnificent display of Fireworks, by Edge, as will put all former efforts in the back ground. The closing piece, a superb temple, will cover 15,000 square feet. All the world will be be there to-night. &G- The New York Museum had a full and fash- ionable audience Jast night; we might term ita bril- liant one; for the gas jet on the balcony could not be surpassed for splendor and beauty, thousands of ad- miring eyes were gazing at it. Broadway appeared to be in a blaze of light; it attracted,universal atten: tion; that alone was worth the price of admission; when in addition to which, Harrington, Rosalie, Kneass, Bennie, Madame Emelie Fanloceni &c.ap- pear, all for one shilling.

Sn eeu Baltimore, {Correspondeuce of the Herald-} Bartimore, September 20, 1842. Mr. Eprror :— A meeting is to take place this evening in monu- ment Square, by the party who feel indignant at the conduct of those who attended the Ashburton dinner and would not manifest their approbation of the toast given to the President of the United States.— I shall be able to give you ‘the particulars to-mor- row. At a meeting of the Democratic Convention, held last evening, Solomen Hillen, Esq., the present in- cumbent, was nominated for re-election to the office of Mayor of the city of Baltimore. There is very little doubt of his success. He is exceedingly popular, and makes an excellent officer. s Among the thirteen candidates out for Sheriff, is Nicholas Tracy, who was on the returns at the last election—as clever a gentleman as ever breathed the pure atmosphere of old Maryland—who it is gere- rally thought will be elected | to that office. There are others among the candidates equally clever, and whose turn will doubtless come ; but were I going to bet, I should risk on Tracy. His only fault is that he is a substantial whig. _ A political Siete apes held up town last even- ing, when several of the candidates made speeches. The gathering was large. The maiden effort, b the leader of the wie, nomination, was sound, substantial, and well delivered... He is a young gentleman (whether defeated now or not) destined, I think, to hold a seat in our national councils. . There were no less than twenty-six adults bap- tised last Sabbath, in the First Baptist Church. The scene was beautifully imposing. * We have had several trifling fires recently, which were the works of incendiaries, showing that our city is bacaning. more infested with this class of demons, than is for its safety. Flour is in rather better demand, and has improv- ed in price, I now augte at $4,235 Howard-street ; sales of City Mills have taken place at 4124 5 Susquehannah same price.

Pmavevruia, Sept. 20, 1842. Last night a mass meeting was held in the upper section of the city, and a county ticket for the Le- gislature put in nomination. The persons, or party, who make this nomination style themselves the “Incorruptibles,” and are ostensibly composed of democrats dissatisfied with particular acts of the party—some with one thing and some with another; but mainly in consequence of failure to obtain office for themselves or friends. It is believed that all the persons composing the ticket, if elected, would vote for the re-election of Mr. Buchanan to the United States Senate ; and yet it is generally understood that the phi of the county mean to forego the selection of aiicket of their own, and to cast their votes for this new ticket instead, with the understanding that the “Incorruptibles” will vote the whig ticket for county officers. I have no idea that the ee ticket in the coun- ty for the Legislature will succeed, though it is not so certain that the whigs will not carry several of their candidates for office in the row. The arpa bors Circus, on Walnut street, open- ed with Otto Motty, last night, to a very crowded house, tickets of admission being refused early in the evening. Notwithstanding this there were good houses at both the Arch and Chesnut street theatres. Welch's Olympic Circus, at the late National theatre, it is announced will open in the course of two or three days. The Walnut srreet theatre opens on Thursday night with the ‘Belles Stratagem,” with a very esa 4 cast, the price of admission hav- ing been put up the same as the Chesnut. On the same nizht Dempster has his final soiree at the Musi- cal Fund Hall, and th» Horticultural Society, a place always thronged with visitors, will also be open. ‘Where all these places of amusement are to obtain audiences from is more than I can tell. A lively spirit, however, is manifest among them all, and ep. pearances are in favor of a popular and profitable season, the hard times to the contrary notwithstand- ing. This morning a man named Logan, under tem- pora ry alienation ef mind, attempted to commit suicide at his residence, near Cherry and Schuylkill easenth streets. He was discovered in time to save 18 life. A man named Henry Shield, who was convicted some time since of robbing Mrs. Maucort’s store, at Third and Chesnut streets, was arrested on ‘Snnday night, by officers Wisner and Levin H. Smith, on suspicion of having been concerned ina recent rob- ben in New York. e sales at the stock board to-day, show an un- precedented rise in the stock of the Camdem and Amboy Rail toad Company—the last previous sales were made at 60, and sold to-day at 84 and Robert Miller, late an inspector in the custom house under Jonathan Roberts, was held to bail this morning, inthesum of $1,000, before Alderman Binns. 8. W. Hutchison, one of our most fashion- able Chesnut street confectioners, washeld to bail in $6,000, on a cauare of obtaining goods under false pretences, from Y. W. L. Freeman, Auction- eer. George Rose Holbrook and Elizabeth Roohe. were this morning convicted in the Court of Genera! Sessions for the robbery of the dwelling of the old Frenchman, in Crabb,street, several weeks ago. Og Whats’ the a filets took up the Great Western at night, but would not bring up the steamer Mississippi? Can any body tell? Can the pilets tell Herald of Tuesday. Oh! oh! Yes, Master Bennett; the pilots can tell. The Western is per comparison a mere cock- boat of easy draught and can be piloted over the shoals, bars, and soundings, at any respectable pilots leasure, while the Mississippi, a man of war, with a full crew, makes a greater risk of life and proper- ty, and is better to fit fora day time operation. No choice of the two, however, was taken in the pre- mises. The Mississippi was secured in safe anchor- age till day light, and the Western brought into port. Double the risk of life and property was sav- ed, and half the risk of life and property adventured ‘on the ocension by “ ONE oF vs.” New Orleans. (Correspondence of the Herald.)

Certain War between Texas and Mexico—The Mex- icans on their March—Duelling on the increase, as well as Yellow Fever— Frauds of the Atchafalaya Bank—The Cotton Crop—No Resumption by the New Orleans Banks. Dear Sir— News has just reached here very unfavorable for Texas. The Mexican army is on its march into that country in two divisions, and as they move along, they destroy and lay waste everything. The Texians are assembling a large army to meet,them, so by the next packet you may expect to hear of a battle. Nothing is onieg here except in the way of duels with pistols, small swords and broad swords. This is our summer amusement. Gen. Dubuys, of the Creole DuelClub, and a Mr. Fernandez, decided a intof honor with small swords; but the point of Mr. F.’s sword was rather too sharp for the General, and he now lies dangerously wounded. Another came off yesterday, connected with the publication of the report of the affairs of that disgraceful con- cern, the Atchafalaya Bank, which involves the re- [serge of the President, Cashier and Directors. it is one of the most extensive frauds that has been committed in the United States for the last twenty ears; and what is most remarkable, no steps have en taken to prosecute the parties criminally. Mere than three hundred thousand dollars was issued, and noentry of it made on the books of the bank. Justice in this country is only made to reach petty juery. A man who steals a coat is sure to find lodgings in the penitentiary. Society in this city is singularly organized, and just now at a very to ebb. Financiers figure at the head of it, which you know is not saying much for it. It is about the last place ayoung man of correct habits should come to settle—hundreds come, but not one in a hundred survive the demoralization of the place. y Cotton is coming in very fast, and is sold immedi- ately on its arrival at fair prices, say from 7 to 8c. according to ually, The crop promises very large. The sugar crop will be large, and the planters have just escaped total ruin by the passage of the tariff law. Our banks will not be able to resume on the fifth December; they are about petitioning for re- lief,but as sure as the Legislature puts off i of resumption, assure will our country be ruined. Now or never is our motto, FY The yellow fever is on the increase. Cuaruam Treatre.—This resort of fashion pre- sented a lively appearance again last night, and well it might, as that truly great trageaian Mr. Booth, futly realized the expectations of his numer- ous friends present, and gave them a feast of reason which carries remembrance with it. To-night Mr Booth appears in the character of Sir Edward Mor- timer, in “ Tne Iron Chest,” Og Barnum, the indefatigable manager of the American Museum, has adopted the plan of giving day performances every’ afternoon at four o'clock The entertainments in the afternoon are precisely the same as those in the evening, thus affording « fine opportunity to ladies, children, strangers, and others,.to witness the performances without being out in the evening. In addition to Winchell, Sig nor Vivaldi, and his wonderful automaton figures, Miss Hood, Celeste, and the Gipsy Girl, Barnum has engaged for a few days, the celebrated and unrival- led Master Diamond. Such novelties for twenty- five cents,in addition to the largest collection of curiosities in America, are unprecedented, and de- serve the crowded houses always found here. IMPORTANT ANNOUNCEMENT!

There is but one thing in this life more pusillanimous and disgusting than man's ingratitude—that is for a person to have vile eruption or discolored skin, when a cake of the famous Italian Chemi- cal Soap, would give them a delicious, clear complexion ; this has cured so many of pimples, blotches, freckles, salt cheum, tan, sun burn, and change dark, sunburnt, or yel- low skin, to a healthy clearness, that we cordially reco: mend allto use it.

As no particular place was mentioned-it was suggested we should give the “Kremlin” a trial. We consequently repaired thither, and were reeably surprised at finding so recherche a spot. The elegance, the cleanliness, and coolness of the rooms are beyond ail praise. But what is of greater importance to those who patronize the Kremlin, the substantial dinner, the excellent wines, and lastly, the low prices charged.— We addressed the polite host and told him we would leave the catering to himself, observing that we only wanted a lain American dinner, with brother John Bull's favorite ish, “roast beef and plumb pudding.” And certainly to do him justice, he fully realized the character of the Kremlin. We therefore recommend those fem who dine down town, and who weuld wish to lend economy with good cheer, to call and have a trial like ourselves.

NEW YORK, September, 1842.—To Eugene Car- serly, Esq., editor of the Freeman’s Journal.—Sir : A vul- gar and violent article appeared in Saturday’s Truth Teller of the 8d inst., written, it is said, by a person who is well known to be your companion, friend and associate, inandout of society. This article was written against our father. The motives that prompted the base scrib- ler over whose ials it stands, are too manifest to the public to require any refutation of the lying statements they generate. The object of the base and cowardly at- tack has an honorable life to oppose as an answer to the foul libeller. From that malignant source nothing better could beexpected. From you, however, it is far other- wise; from you the public never could expect anything so revolting to the finest feelings of our nature as the unna. tural alliance of a son with @ common scamp against a father, which is alaw the very Pagans would not outrage, and in the christain code the Almighty imposes the strict: est obligation on the child to honor his father and his mother, for the observance of which he confers blessings on the obedieut child in this life and heaven hereafter. This is really so shocking that it is scarcely creditable. It is more than surmised, that if on did not actually write you actually corrected this vile production. Can this be 807 Could your father’s son—the son of Sarsfield—sink so low in the scale of newfashioned morality as to side with the assassin of his father’s character. I trust you may be able to clear yourself from these scandalous imputa- tions; and granting that yeu did not actually write for the scoundrel, do you not keep his company, and, oh shame! seek his society? If your father were every way the very opposite he has ever been, what extenuation could you for conduct so degrading? Yes, the office you hold as editor of an Irish and Catholic paper should make you biush when it is told with whom you associate. Yours, AN IRISH CATHOLIC. {g- A CARD.—Being fully satisfied that Mr. Peter V.

I trust that the editors of those papers who have hereto- fore published the statement implicating Mr. Husted in that transaction, will do him the justice to publish this card, and thereby repair, as far as possible, the wrong done him. ‘WM.

MONEY MARKET. ‘Tuesday, Sept. 20—6 P, M, We remark no change in the general features of the stock market. Prices seem, however, gradually to give way—Harlem fell }, Long Island }, Mohawk }. It is rumored as a remarkable fact, that when the dif ference between Messrs. Boorman, Johnston & Co. and Jacob Little & Co. occurred, the former gentlemen em- ployed Daniel Lord, Esq., as their counsel, and sent him a sum of money as a retaining fee. Soon after that signifi- cant movement, he was appointed a referee in the case. This, to say the least, is a “curious coincidence.” It does appear strange to us that a person should have ac- cepted the appointment under such circumstances, even although he returned the money for eftect before acting es referee. It is asingular and pointed manner of laying the merits of the case before disinterested third parties. ‘The recent China news did not seem materially to affect the London tea market.

Very many foreign houses, Ger- man and French more particularly, are about closing up their business quietly, finding it impossible to continue to do business under the present regulations. ‘The peculiar nature of business hitherto required large imports in the spring and fall. Many large houses would have invoices amounting occasionally to $200,000, coming in very nearly atfthe same time. Under the old system,these would be mostly realised before the duties fell due. Now such an invoice wold requ ire $100,000 cash to be paid onentry, a serious obstruction to large operations. The manufacturers, in hard money Europe, enjoy # real credit, which enables them toturn out any quantity of goods that may be want- ed, but does not enable them to send their agent, con- signee or commission house 100,000 hard dollars, to pay the most exorbitant duties, under the circumstances, ever impoeed upon any people. The goods, therefere, cease to come, or coming, are sent back,or to other markets. New York has beerrthe great centre of this business; sixty per cent of all the imports, have come to'this city heretofore: OF $127,000,000 imported in 1841, $76,000,000 came to D York, mostly through those houses who are now prohi- bited from doing business by the late tariff. The trade of New York city in a great measure depends upon the im- ports. Its export trade is a consequence of the imports. Of the 3,000 carmen in this city, one half, at least, get their living by riding imported goods. All these people will lose their trade. Justead of a merchant in Pine street selling a case of goods, they will either not be sold at all, through the inability of the farmer to buy, or will go from Lowell over the Western Railroad to Buffalo, and so West. Thetrade of New York must sink at least one- half inevitably under the tariff. A little reflection and examinatien of documents would show this to be the case, and yet there are not a few who are looking for the in- crease of trade which was promised through the tariff. In the English commercial journals it appears that the veto of the late tariff by the President was hailed with as much, if not more, satisfaction, than wes the treaty. It ‘was considered as leaving a low tariff in operation, and therefore as affording an opportunity not only for greatly extending the commercial relations between the two countries, but of thereby leading the way towards the ul- timate settlement of the steck debts existing between the United States and Great Britain. On this subject we make the following extract from the London Gazette of Au- gust Sist:— Following up our remarks on the subject of the veto pr by the President of the United States tothe Tariff ill, we again urge upon the Government of this country the propriety—the necessity—of ‘advantage of the opportunity thus afforded for extending our commercial lations with America. ‘The value of custom of that nation is inestimable te this country, if itcan be purchas- ed on terms of mutual benefit. e amount of our ex- ports to the United States for many years, the number of our operatives employed in ing merchandise for that market, clearly prove the extent of the advantage we derived from our connexion with our transatlantic sl- lies, when it remained undisturbed by commercial and financial distress, and uninjured by political disputes. The contraction of our trade, and the amount of unem- ployed labor which resulted from the interruption of our relations with America, show, if possible, more clearly the loss which we thus susteined, aud ie cogently in favor of the adoption of such a course of policy by the Government of Great Britain as may bind the two coun- tries toy er more closely with the ties of mutual inte- rest. It may be said that the financial em! its of eter] a the bad by telen = many of the levine ian ex! respect to their pecuniary engagements,mu‘ bea barto any immediate ipetenes of our trade with the United States; and there is no small amount of feasibility in the objection. But let us examine the great first cause of this position of their financial affairs, and there is little doubt that it will appear that the distress, the want of faith, and th ‘stem of repudiation, were luced by cirewmatances {a originating which Great Britain had no small share. Basra - cimee we ay Soe The period hats however, arrived when our own inte- rests demand that every exertion should be made by This comm to open a trode. with Avesrion thes will enable that n1 to pay us in the produce which it can so well afford, and w! we 80 much require; and we sincerely trust that Sir Robert Peel will devote his at- tention to the formation of a treaty to effect so desirable an object, convinced as we feel that Parliament will un- failingly give its assent to the measures necessary to con- firm such ap arrangement. This is the true mercantile view to take of the matter; and it is matter of regret that such anticipations of the business should have so soon been chilled and disappoint- ea by the enactment of an arbitrary;and prohibitory tariff, which builds up a wall between the two countries,checks the return of activity abroad, and ruins the market of the United States farmer for his produce. The tendency of the prices of all agricultural produce, particularly flour, is downwards. A futile attempt is now making by the western millers in this market, to stiffen the prices of flour here, by buying it themselnes; to hold, anda great deal is going into store. Sucha ridiculous proceeding can only end in the ruin of all concerned. The bank s of the west will surely not be so preposterous as to socond such a movement. The whole west is filled to overflowing with the rich creps of the earth. A sur- plus exists greatly above the powers of the people to con- sume; and without a foreign market to teke off that sur- plus, prices must go to very low money values. ‘The late news from England has been considered good. So it is for England and the English; but in no point of view is it good for this country. The harvest is full, and no de mand for oureurplus flour exists. It is kept out by English duties from England, and our own government has pre- vented English goods from coming here in the purchase of produce for other quarters. The plentousness of mo- ney in England has not improved American credit, and if itimproves the consumption of cotton sufficiently to take off some of the surplus, und stay the falling prices in that article, it is all that can be expected.
