NEW YORK HERALD Meow York, Friday, October 7, 1842. — WHE Administration of John Tyler—-it Principles and Polley. The speech of Daniel W I not only crea- ted mreat excitement among the ultra whigs and the ultra locofocos—but it has caused a perfect “ g the “corporal’s guard,” compose of Congress, oi- fice underlings, editors rs, who generally are employe: ean the shoes, brush the coats, shave the beards, pick up the news, and retail the scandal to every administration—every Preadent— every occupantof the White House. For it should not be forgot that every Executive has his “kitchen cabinet,” “corporal’s guard,” “back stairs influ- ence,” “power behind the throne,” or some Oliver Le Dain to pick up news and while away the time. This is human nature. In the present progress of the sun, moon and seven stars, through the blue fields of space, the “‘Madi- sonian,” a newspaper published at Washington by Joha Jones, poet, is the organ and expounder of this very necessary appendage to every executive govern- meat—and in his last paper we find the following “revelation” straight from heaven, as Joe Smith would call it, under the head of “The Administra- tive Policy of the Government: ‘There can be no question raised as to the purpose position of Me Tyler's administration. There is not, an‘! never can be a leaven, a touch of Federalism in its con- duct. Mr. Tyler stands firmly on the old Jeffersonian platform, and bears the Constitution, with the Republican construction of the fundamental law, aloft in his hands. H: has, with unparalleled ditficulties surrounding him, with opposition, as it appears, even in his own private and p rsonal counsels, with the * remonstrances of some, and without consultation sometimes,” warred, with the veto power his only constitutional weapon, against the ene- mies of (he Coastitu'ion, and from the gloom and despon- denc» waich saroaled his cause at one time, has burst up%n the count y, with a force and power, that a patriot in his success always bears with him. Ifany man whose principles have been or are oppose! to the Democratic J ifersonian faith, sustains the adminis, tration of Mr. Tyler, he must do soon the Pre principles ; he may expect liberality and courtesy, must not expect the abandonment of any position taken, or any departure from the purest doctrines of the purest Republican school. »se very oracular and “ambiguous givings out,” have been caused by the speech of Mr. Webster in Boston. It is very evident that the speech or posi- tion of Mr. Webster is not approved by the “ corpo- ral’s guard”’—and hence that useful class of menials begin to show some symptomsof teeth, without very evident power of biting. Hence the objurgations upon the “leeven of federalism”—hence the allusions to the ‘fold Jeffersonian platlorm”—hence the praise of the “veto power.” Now, as we, of the Herald, are the oldest soldier in the Tyler ranks— in fact, the first volunteer that turned out in aid ofa tolerable good cause —we claim a right to indepen- dence of mind, fand free utterance of thought in all that relates to the administration. The policy of John Tyler, as we have always un- derstood it, 1s neither federal nor republican, as it was understood in 1798—neither of the cast of Joha Adams, nor that of Thomas Jefferson. The attempt to introduce the clap-traps of the last century—to talk of the “old Jeffersonian platform,” or the “ old leaven of federalism,” is the veriest old woman's twaddle that a coterie of blockheads or bootblacks could try. Between the two great parties of this country, there has always been, nota difference of principle in government, but simply a difference of prejudice and passion only in action. Look over the history of the government from the time of Wash- ingten, in the general or State governments. When the federalists sueceeded the democrats, or the democrats the federalists, each faction naturally fell into the like line of policy that their predecessors had adopted. The fe- deralists created the first bank—the demo- crats the last--the federalists created the first navy —the democrats the present. Up to the present day the distinction between parties has been created by rogues—fanned by lies—and widened by the cor- rupt politicians. Both federalists and democrats, in the mass—whigs and locofocos—have always been republicans—against hereditary monarchy—in favor of the sovereignty of the people. The real differ- ence is very slight—a mere shadow—a factitious or artificial difference —a passion and a prejudice—but not amounting to a principle—heightened and exag- gerated by rascals ‘and rogues, who make politics a trade to cheat the people into their support. What is now the real difference between tne whigs and demovrats of thisday? Very little—a quarrel about a bank—the disposition of the public lands—twenty or thirty per cent more or less duty on imports—not altogether amounting to a single difference in the principle of a republic. To say, therefore, or to attempt to show, that Mr. Tyler’s administration has placed _ itselt upon the “old Jeffersonian platform”—or that | The Great Whig Mecting at National Hall Last Night. National Hall was completely crowded last night by the whigs, for the purpose of responding to the no- minations made by the Syracuse Convention, of | Bradish and Furman for Governor and Lieutenant Governor. | Atthe extremity of the room a very capital band | was stationed which kept-on playing “Zip Coon,” “See the Conquering Hero,” and all sorts of lively | and popular airs up to the time of the choosing of a chairman. | Onthe platform, close to the right of the Chair- man, on a broad piece of board, stuck on an upright stick, was placed a live coon, who kept a crawling As | about on board. This inscription was placed | over the head of the coon :— “T was out in 1840 for old Tip, And am now good for Alarry Clay.” The movements of this same old coon created considerable amusement. The meeting was called to order by A. Dougher- ty, Esq., who nominated Charles Baldwin for Chair- man. ‘This was carried of course. Mr. Baldwin | took the chair, after showing his extreme good sense by saying but very few words, and those very appropriate. He said he was aware that many others could have been called to the chair who would have filled it better than himself, and he trust- | ed to the meeting to assist him in discharging its du- ties. The usual unnecessary number of Vice-Presidents and Secretaries were appointed. : Mr. A. W. Braprorp then read a very well written address, which was carried. _ After this, a large delegation from the 16th ward entered the room with half'a dozen banners and torches, which, when blown out, almost suffocated the audience. They were loudly cheered, and the coon appeared considerably alarmed. 4 _A long string of resolutions were read, denouncing Silas Wright, Mr. Bouck, and all locofocos; lauding Mr. Clay, Mr. Bracish, and Mr. Farman. Their names weve loudly cheered. The resolutions also lauded Nath P. Tallmadge, Esq., and expressed a hope that he might be advanced to a higher station. he resolutions were carried. i The Chairman announced Senator Berrien from Georgia. He was loudly cheered, and voices cried out ‘*Now we are going to have something nice.” “Now for Georgia—come up, old stud.” ‘“ Nine cheers.” _ Mr. Bennten expressed the gratification he felt at meet- ing his whig brethren of New York, although from some misunderstanting, his remarks must be desultory. He said he was not disposed to consider the state of the nation in so gloomy a light as many. Yet the present crisis was pregnant with events of vital importance. The con:lition ofthecountry now wasan anomaly, without a precedent. He alluded to the struggles of 1840, to throw off the mis- rule of Jackson and Van Buren’s administration; and de- plored the death of Gen. Harrison. He said Mr. Tyler was not selected by the whigs with any view to his eleva- tion to the Chief Magistracy, and contended that he had abused his privileges, and violated his duty, which was to carry out the principles of the Whig party. He owed it aliketo his reputation and the people. to do so, and to havecarried out the dying wish of Gan, Harrison to carry on the Government according to the Censtitutto: Had he done so, no destiny would have been more eli ted and cherished than his. He then denounced Mr. Ty: ler, but in very gentlemanly language, for removing Jonathan Roberts, and said that he ought to have sacrifi- ced his ‘impracticable abstractions on the altar of the public good.” Mr. Tyler, he said, commenced his presi- dential career virtuously ; but the love of power begat the desire te perpetuate power, and he was seduced from a virtuous an pesriges path, an? admitted a feeling of jeaulousy against Henry Clay in his bosom, which jea lousy, he coutended, had since controlled the whole of Mr, ‘I'yler’sconduct. He then went over the old ground of the two Bank Bills, and the presidential veto on cach. He also contended that the great point in issue between the Whigs and locotocos at the election of 1840, was the question of the currency and the expectation of obtaining a National Bank with the coming into power of the Whig party. He added, we are to rally under Mr. Tyler as the leader of the great Whig party: re to submit to his dictation, to take what he ch give us, and to sub- mit to the wrongs he and his advisers choose to inflict upon us. The time willcome when those advisers will have to answer it to an indignant people. (Great cheer- ing.) Such submission will find no response in the breasts of the Whig party of this great country. [Loud cheers.) I am amused at the oddity of the advice to us. (Alluding to Mr. Webster's Speech.) That Mr. Tyler is to be President for three long years, (Laugh- ter.) Now, if we had been told that this cup however bit- ter, could 'be swallowed at a single draught, we might have borne it ; but this lest insult is too gross to be borne. Be patient, gentle whigs—take what wegive you and bear it patiently. (Laughter.) But little more than two Yoers.and the whags will gain their rights, Mr. Tyler to the contrary notwithstan Nf The capital with which Tyler proposes to control the country is daily dimin- Every rising and setting sun sees that patronage which the nation is to be corrupted grow in; Teas d writ is ofthe Executive mansion language as sig- rible to its inmates as ever was written on f the Babylonian palace. (Great cheers.) Mr. a oncluded by exhot ing the whiga to press on to the goal as they did in 1840, and he felt sure they would succeed in 1844 as they did before. His allusion to a pro- tection for Home Industry was loudly cheered, but his al- lusion to Mr. Clay’s plan for distributing the public lands was not so well received. He cautioned the whigs to avoid every thing like a proscriptive policy to employ all the intermediate time with energy and prudence, and gaining immensely in moral strong though a few might secede, numbers of others would flock to their standard, with whom they would march triumphatly to success, When he sat down he was most enthusiastically cheered, as indeed he deserved to be, for he isa most chaste, pleasing and elegant speaker. The band played a lively tune, and there were loud cries for “Thayer,” “Missing,” “Graham,” “Tomlinson.” n Cuartes Missive then sang the following song about the same old Coon:— less ; and in little more than two years there wil ten on the it eschews ‘“‘the leaven of federalism,” is a trick of rogues to impose upon honest men. Mr. Tyler's administration is elevated far above the “ Jeffersonian platform”—tar above all party—far above all moth-eaten prejudices. From his first accession to power, we have watched its operation, and supported its policy, because it is adapted to the spirit of the age—because it has broken loose from all party—because it has taken a high, moral, independent position, above all party—all faction—and thrown _it- self upon the intellect, morals, intelligence, justice and patriotism of the whole nation for its sup- port. We have also approved all the vetoes of the President, not because a bank is not constitutional, for we firmly believe it is—but because the horrible morals of the financiers of the present day have un- fitted the country for any bank—or any currency other than gold or silver. Within the last few years, nearly 150 banks, including the U. 8. Bank, have broken to pieces, and property amounting to $150,- 000,000 or more, has evaporated under the manage- ment of the bankers and financiers of the age. On this groundalone, the veto power is justified. The attempt of the “ corporal’s guard,” through the Madisonian, to revive the stale clap-traps ot “ tederalism” and “ democracy,” is a contempti- ble trick to impair the influence of Daniel Webster —to circumseribe his just power in the country— and to prevent him from giving his aid in completing that high direction to the action of the administra- tion, which was conceived and commenced hy the President himself on his firat accession to power.— No—no—no—John Tyler has adapted his policy to the wants of the age—not te encourage obsolete ideas. It isabove the old humbugs of the last cen- tury, as well as the new humbugs of the present.— Its elements are intellect without passion, indepen- dence without prejudice, patriotism without party— and a corporal’s guard without influence to put in or put out cabinets, with the same ease with which they can, in their appropriate sphere, clean boots, brush coats, and shave strong beards. Mercantite Lrerary Assoctation.—We perceive that this association is about to partake of a public dinner of its own getting up, and that the tickets are to be $3 for a gentleman and $5 for a gentleman and lady. Now, it should be recollegted that this institution 1s composed of young clerks, two-thirds of whom have small salaries ; and, therefore, $3 is too much for the tickets. The getters up of the din- ner profess great temperance principles on this oc- casion, to use no spiritous liquors, and to make it a cold watercelebration. This is all very good ; but we wish they would carry that same temperance principle a little farther, and get up a dinner at $1 per head; tor we feel sure that that sum is quite enough to pay for a mere dinner. We are afraid that this institution, like too many others, is getting to be under the influence of a clique who are desirous of indulging in luxurious habits which they deny to a large body of the clerks. All this should be reme- died: Newsraren Cuanors.—The ‘‘ Morning Chrom- cle,” a penny paper, is rapidly increasing its cireula- { tust treading in the footsteps of the There is also ap oa dit that the “ Amenecan” and ‘* Standard” will be united as one paper.

Mr. Detoratne then sang a song about “ Harry of the West, the Farmer of Ashlan the “Fine Old English Gentlema One or two other songs and and the meeting adjourned wi |.” to the tune of ” ine cheers. Unrred States Consut at Haven —For some time past there have been numeroes and heavy com- plaints against Mr. Beasley, United States Consul at Havre, and we think it high time that our Govern- ment looked at this matter with a view to his remo- val. Mr. Beasley has been there some twenty-five to thirty-five years, and has grown rich, and as some say, insolent. The ship captains complain bitterly of his exactions and over-charges; $1 for each man shipped to replace desertion or discharge og the fees of consular services for each ship or ch voyage from $5 to $25. {r. Webster will see to this and rectify it deasley has done wrong dismiss him at once. We earnestly hope if Mr. ches were given, eTING at TAMMANY HaLL.—The old weather- beaten transparency that graces the front of the “Old Wigwam,” on the approach of an electioneering campaigne, was raised yesterday asa preparatory movement ts wards the coming contest. The Demo- | cracy assembled last evening, to accord with the nomination of Bouck and Diekinson, for Governor and Lieutenant, and the old quarters looked like the light of other days, when her disciples were among the highest in the land. The large room, was well | filled at an early hour, and John W, Edmonds called | the meeting to order by nominating Sreruen ALLEN, for President, Waurer Bowns, and some half dozen | others, for Vice Presidents, and Cuaries A. Secor, and several others for Secretaries. The resolutions read by Mr. Edwards were mere ly approbatory of the nominations of Bouck and Dickinson, with an approval of the financial policy of the Democrats in the Legislature. Mr. Epmenps sustained them in a few remarks, and after complimenting John Tyler for his honest course, passed to an evlogium on the character of Wm. ©. Bouck, the democratic candidate for gov- ernor, in which he said he was a Dutchman of Ger man extract—one of those who had settled the woods ot Schoharie and made himself a man—that in 1813 hewas first sent to the Assembly of this State —in 1820 to the Senate, and in 1821 was elected Ca- nal Commissioner, whizh office he held, during all the changes of government, for eighteen years, aud was only removed when the whigs ad lopted_the principle of ‘to the yictors belong the spoils ” That during his term of office, with the disbursement of of wine or ten millions of dollars, not one cent has ever been charged as misapplied under his direction. That he wasa member of the convention that framed the present Constitution of the State, and labored arduously to incorporate the clause extending the right of suffrage to every man, whether he was the owner of property,or not—that he was a democrat of the nde, true school, and if elected would sus- tain their principles in the administration of the affairs of the State. Joux McKeon was loudly called for, aud on ap- pen . inquired if his constituents considered that e had been a faithful servant in Congress, to which a hearty concurrence was loudly responded. He then aliuded to the promised meaghres of reform of the Whigs, and also to the defeat that had followed their bank measures by Presidential vetoes, and st. ted that he believed Mr. Webstar’s exchequer bill to be just as bad as any of the rest of their financial schemes. He then passed to a notice of the evils of the Congressional districting system as adopted by the whigs, in which he intimated that it would possibly be the means of leaving him athome. He then passed to a review of the new tariffand “ its blessings” as he called them, and cited the tax on coal, on blankets, on spirits, silk and cotton goods, pepper, raisins, coffee and sugar, as arguments against the passage of the bill. He alluded to its ruinous effects upon commerce, by citing an in- stance of a vessel that had taken out a freight of seven hundred tons to Havre, returning to this port with a freight of forty dollars only, and asked what was to become of the ship carpen- ter, the cartmanand the merchant, if such were the results of the tariff. He alluded to the movements of Clay’s friends in this matter, as that of one who had nicely tucked himself up with a blanket while his bed-fellow was stripped of covering and laid bare. He then passed to the attempt of the whigs to destroy the veto and conservative power of the constitution, and also to their wasteful extravagance, and comphmented John Tyler on his firmness in defeating their ruinous measures. He alluded to the last’ speech of Daniel Webster, and in reference to his remaining in the cabinet, said he likened him tothe gardener in the Marriage of Figaro, who when requested to leave his situation, replied that if it wasnot known how good a servant he was, he knew when he had a good place. He then re- viewed the late treaty—opposed the giving, away of the highlands, and stated that even Daniel Webster himself had said that it was such a i jain case in our favor, that he would go himself and take it before the last fourth of July. He said that the demand of Great Britain to compel us to keep an armed vessel on the African coast, at an expense of a million per annum, was as modest, as if they had asked us to keep an armed police over New York city. He alluded to the admissions of Mr. Webster in the settlement of the Caroline affair, in the most bitter terms, and contrasted it with the letter of De Tocqueville, in which he had said that the giving up of the claim would place the American nation in as low a depth as to national honor asshe had already been redu- ced in pecuniary degradation. He concluded by an al as to his own course of conduct, and in al- to his recent defeat for re-nomination, at he had committed no political act t be selected as the case for such deteat. | speech was loudly cheered, and he was received and parted withwith much enthusiasm. —__ Mr. Boswortn, an acquaintance and friend of Mr. Dickinson, the candidate for Lieutenant Go- vernor, addressed the meeting as to his merits for the office in nomination, and also passed a high compliment upon President Tyler for his opposition to bank projects, Wricut Hawkes, Esq., was then Lad called for, and stated that twelve months abseace had only made ila pare Of m loonkined: eas Pe, as since then the igs had first promi to then suspen- ded, and now the rie fated autirel i: Phat they were not thenette to be trusted any furtherthan a good democrat could sling ol¢ Tammany by the chimneys. He said he tendered to John Tyler his full approbation for his veto continuations, but that he had a glorious example set him by the old Hero of. Tennessee—(cheers.) While in Europe, he said, it was rare to see any thing but whig newspa- pers, and therefore a refreshing draught from the pure stream of old Tammany was all powerful in carrying off the sediment of whig doctrines, the certain antidote to which was democratic pills. He then alluded to the Liven men of the democra- tic party who should be sustaired for their firm ad- herence to sound democratic doctrines, and in men- tioning the name of Calhoun with that of others, a shout was sentup from old Tammany that showed that many a heart was ready to b with energy in sustaining the southern pion of democracy. Aaron Vayperpost. Esq. followed, and after al- luding to the Hawkes sod Wagles of the democracy that had preceded his rising, he classified himself as the roarer of the party, and hoped that he should always have the power to roar in the cause of equal rights and equal justice—when our reporter left, as the hour was getting late. This is the first gun from old Tammany. la Immigration into New Yorx.—The imports of foreigners into New York during the present year has been immense. By the returns at the Custom House, we have the following curious facts:— ‘ : Males. Females.

Laborers. ...10,994 Di . Teachers. . 58 Besides these, there were 10,608 that had no occu- pation whatever. Of the 26,170 females, 12 of them were artists, 3 were teachers, 5 were musicians, 168 were seamstresses, and 25,991 had no occupation but that of waiting on their husbands and relatives.

Ponrticat Monat Tactics.—At the recent mass Whig Convention, held at Dayton, Ohio, where Mr. Clay made a speech, there was the following exhibition:— A ture was exhibited at the “ Headquarters of War. ren County Delegation,” representing John Tyler (I give it as represented) under a gallows, extending his hand, (in which was a note superscribed " my consctence,” with a bag representing $5,000) to the devil; accompanying the davil was his imps, one represented in the shape of a viper snake, with his tongue out ready to bite Tyler, at the rear of the devil are represented animals of timllag descriptio near John Tyler stands Wise, holding the skirt of coat (Tyler's) pulling him back; from the gallows ex. tends a rope near Tyler, preparatory to place it around hisneck—over the gallows the words two miles {rom the White House—one mile from hell.” This picture was exposed in one of the most public parts of the city. No wonder the country is demoralised, when great statesmen encourage such exhibitions. Housatonic Rattroan.-—The Berkshire branch of this road will be opened 7th of November, and con- nect with the Boston and Albany Railroad Compa- ny, so as to go from here to Albany in twelve hours. This will be the great travelling thoroughfare for the winter. Pomeroy will ran an express over the n tevonwrionany Retics.—Another lot will be published to-morrow. Court Before Judge Oyer and Terniner, ‘and Aldermen Underwood and Kelly. THurspay, Oct. 6, 1842.— Trial of Margaret Owens, for the murder of her child.—The prisoner was brought into court about half past ten, in custody of officer Barber. She was rather neatly dressed, and herdeportment modest and becoming. She is about 26 or 27 years of age, and a na- tive of Ireland, Messrs. Haskett and Russell appeared her behalf, and the District Attorney for the prosecution. A sufficient number of jurors not being present, 10 tales men were ordered to be summoned. After the usual preliminary forms, the District Attorney proceeded to call his witnesses. Cuances R. Tuone sworn—Reside at 78 Bayard street. The prisoner at. the bar was a servant ut house—she | lived there nearly two months. It was thought in the house that she Was enciente, and she a red to be so. On the 25th June, I was sent for by one of stated that there w: servants who wi waa i—though J had noticed in ularl: wal never the girl tall, and do'bot suppor that { ever spole twenty wordt toher. It was understood in the house that she had been sick theday before, My family was out of town. There isa gatewsy (rom Bayard street to the yard of my house, also &@ passageway the rear. The is generally open in the day time and shut at night. Some Ly might have come in from the street. Did not examine the room of the prisoner, nor discover any suspicious gar- ment. There were two other servents in the house—Fran- ces Taylor and a girl named Julia. The back kitchen is about fifteen feet the vault or privy, and any person going there could be seen from the kitchen. The house is on the north side of Bayard, adjoining Mott. Faaxces Taycor, a young colored girl, sworn—Was a servant at the house, as was also the prisuner. On Mon. day she complained, and was sick all Monday night and Tuesday. On Wednesday she came downstairs and went to work. On Friday we overed the child in the vault. When in her chamber, on Tuesday, I asked her what was the matter, and she replied that she had a very severe cold, be Fi in her head and back. She said she would liketo send for her sister to hang up her clothes. I told her I would—and Idid so. On Inesday she went to wale ae usually did the washing and ironing of th family. On Tuesday evening she et dewn a pail from her room, and went back with it; which she sat the pail down in the yard and went back to her room. On Friday we were looking fer a shoe a child had dropped in the vault and discovered the babe. Told the prisoner of it, saying there wasachildinthe vault. She there, and she did not think it was child, for not see how it could get there. She taid it looked likeacat. This was Friday evening. The Coroner was sent for. Saidnothing more to her about it till next day; thought she had looked to be enciente but said nothing to her about it. When she was washing, on Wednesday, I observed suspicious Fac elothes. She slept in the attic room, with a girl named Julia. who is now away. I slept in the next room; did not hear any groans asofa person sick, nor anything like the ery of achild. Julia was at work allthe time, and there was no appearance of a suspicious nature about her. The er was altered in appearance after she had been sic! Henry McKeon, sworn—Aided in getting the child from the vault—it wastaken up by a black man, who hada pole 10 or 12 feet long, with a hook on the end. The child was not injured in drawing that I am aware of— Understood there had also been a but did not see it. Isaac Green sworn—Examined the child—There was a wound on its head, also one on its abdomen and another on i's hip; there were also marks.on its neck, oneon each side below the ear, and two others on the right side of the neck. ‘The child was full formed and had evidently been born alive—Ascertained sueh to be the case by the hy- drostatic test—The wounds may have been made by the hook in getting it up—Cannot say positively that the child exhibits ang thing cont to the idea that the mother might have been innocent of its death. ir, Mort was sworn—The examination of the child did not take place till Monday fo!lowing. Dr. M. thought after such alapse of time, that it would be hazardous to place reliance upon any test, going to show that the child was alive at the time it was born. Mr. Haskett asked him several questions 1g upon the case. Dr. Ancuer sworn.—Is Coroner. Examined the child. Do not agree with the professor (Mott) that the hydros- tatic test is not good after the lapse of a week. The lungs do not decompose so soon us the rest. Feel confident that thechild was alive when it was born, and that some of the bruises must have occurred before its death, though I do not Yh oad were sufficient to cause ‘such. From what I ascertained as a physician, subsequent to this affair, I have no doubt that the prisoner had become a mother. Dr. Francis was also examined in relation to parallel ses. He thought the child had been born alive. The testimony here closed, when Colonel Hasxert ad- dressed the jury in a powerful and able manner in bebalt of the prisoner, w was viewed the evidence, and Guilty. bottle drawn up, City Intelligence. Ronsinc 4 Bisnor.—As Bishop Alexander V. Griswold, of Boston, was on his way to this city on Wednesday, in the Stonington line, his pocket was picked of a leather wallet containing bank bills amounting to $105. On reaching the steamboat Rhode Island, it was ascertained that other robberies had taken place, and while the boat was on her passage down the sound three suspicious looking men were picked out by Mr. Francis C. Walker, the cl-rk of the boat, and searched in the captain’s office, ‘but no lost money was foundon them. On the arrival of the boat at this city yesterday morning officer A. M.C. Smith was sent for by Mr. Brown, hack ingpector, and on reaching the boat he instantly recog: nized three eid acquaintances, named John Murray, John Wilkinson, alias “ Jem Rose,” alias “Adolph” and George Wellesly, alias “ Sheency,” alias “Dumpsy Diddledum.” Smith landed them in the police office, with the sid of Mr. Brown, and requested the clerk of the boatto make search in the office where the men had been “ frisked,” and in a pair of gloves, nicely stowed away, $111 in bank notes were found, and $105 of it identified by Bishop Griswold as the money taken from his wallet. The men wére committed. They are of the expert order in the “profession,” and were arrested a few weeks since in Boston on suspicion of being the rebbers of the porter of the Long Island Bank in thiscity. But there being no evidence against them, they were discharged. From the present appearance of the case, although all the circumstances are against them, there is little doubt they will elude conviction. Having put the money out of their possession, in the usual pickpocket style, it will be difficult to bring the evidence sufficiently against them to insure conviction. They were admitted to bail last evening in the sum of $1,500 each, and will be indicted and probably tried at the present term. ‘Truevine Seavant.—A servant girl named Mary Camp" bell, aged about seventeen, who has lived in the family of ‘Mr. Chase, at 884 Pearl street, was arrested yesterday, and fully committed on the charge of stealing $176 from the room of Capt.

Signor Ribas gives a concert on Saturday at Niblo’s, which will doubtless be well attended. SignorjAntognini, assisted by Signor Ra- petti, gives his lest concert on Tuesday, at the Ta- bernacle, which we hope will be crowded. Andon Thursday next, Mrs. Sutton gives her first concert, since her return, at the Apollo; this will be a bril- lient affair ; she will be assisted by the first artistes in the city, and her charming little daughter, not yet seven years old, will make her first appearance and sing several favorite Scotch and English ballads in costume. There will be a bniliant and fashionable audience present on this occasion. Padastinnier serene Sanine oy rug Brrrise Queen—The steam ship British Queen leaves to-day for Southampton and Antwerp.

BY THE SOUTHERN MAIL. Baltimore. (Correspondence of the Herald.) - Barrrors, Oct 6, 1842. Mr. Evrror— Yesterday was our State election. It passed off in | this city with extreme quietness and order—hardly an intoxicated er boisterous personage was to be seen. As I predicted some weeks since, N. Trac Esq., has been elected to the office of sheriff. Hi majority in the city over the next highest candidate, B. Chase, locofoco, is 1277. This, ! have no doubt, will be swelled by the county vote to 2000 or 2500. Mr. Tracy, it will be remembered, is a good sub- stantial whig. There were twelve other candidates for sheriffin the field, mixed in politics, but they have to submitto a defeat. Chace, will in all pro- bability be on the returns and S. er, once edi- tor of the Republican, third. | The locofoco, or democratic, delegate ticket, consisting of Gallagher, Springer, Graves, Spence and Starr, have been elected to the ture by an average majority of seven hundred and fifty- two. This, however, is a smaller majority than they had last year by about three hundred votes There wasa large vote seeinet changing the State Consti- tution as contemplated by an act of the last s+ lature. The whigs are sanguine of having a major- ity in the State of the legislative candidates. Ifso, they will secure the United States senator to be chosen during the approaching session, if not, they will lose him. In the county it is presumed the de mocratic delegate ticket will be clected. If the whigs go in Frederick county, and return those they already claim and are almost certain of, they ill secure their United States senators. e 1m pression isthat they will get Frederick by a hand- some majority Z Enght o’clock.—News just received from the coun- ty makes it certain that Tracy is elected. He is ahead of all the candidates. The loeofoco dele- gate ticket in the county is elected by a con- siderable mi ity. Ishall be able to give you the earliest news to-morrow. Enough to determine | ‘Yhis place is a musical world in itself.” Onone side of how the State has went. The Hon. J. P. Kennedy, member of Congress from this city, as you may be aware, was thrown from his horse a few days since and very badly hurt. He is yet confined tohis chamber and suffers much pain. No bones were broken, but the bruises were severe. There is a probability of his being confined to his chamber for a considerable time. The new steamer Ericason made her first appear- ance at the wharf yesterday, on the new line be- tweeh this city and Philadelphia. She was hailed with a hearty welcome. " Three individuals, named Curtis, Evans and Wood- ward, have been arrested in this city, charged with having committed thefts in Newton, Upper Falls, Roxbnry and Boston, Mass. They are in prison awaiting a requisition. The two mail robbers recently arrested in Canada, charged with robbing the mail in February last, be- tween Wheeling and Baltimore, were brought on here yesterday, and lodged in jail to await their trial at the U. S. Court to convene here next month. We have another election on the 17th inst, for mayor. * Yours, Ropericx.

The new Scotch drama of “ Cramond Brig” is to be produced, in which Mr. Lennox, who was well known to the theatre-going public in this city some years since, will sustain the principal cha- racter. Mr. Mossop, the unrivalled d ator of Irish characters, will also appear in the Irishman in London; which, with the drama of the Spectre Pilot, forms an unusually rich and entertaining bill, and one which will be handsomely received by no common audience.

There was, as usual, very little doing in the Stock Market this morning. Sales of stocks were very small, generally with a downward tendency. Ohio 6's fell $ per cent; Delaware asd Hudson }- In bills, for the packet which takes her departure to- day, very little hes been done. The two packets which sailed so recently, took most of the remittances Those by the present boat are chiefly on account of the quarterly dividends. The rate of Sterling bills has been ‘Ta7} per cent. Nothing further has transpired in relation to the gov- ernment Joan. Direct information was ebtained at the Department thet “it was taken.” This referred probably to the smail amounts that have been peddled out, and not to the whole loan, which is not in a situation to be closed entirely, even ifit could be done. The gross revenue for the United States for the first six months of 1941 was, according to official statements, $7,005,020; for the same period 1842, $8,783,884, being an increase of $1,723,814. The whole revenue for the year 1841 is stated at $10,146,035; and the revenue forthe port of New York alone, for the first three quarters of 1842, is stated at $9,911,397, which would show a great increase. The city of New York has grown to be the metropolis of America. It isthe largest city of the new world. The cause of its prosperity, and the means by which it has attained its ascendency, have been its foreign trade. It has been the point of communication with Europe from which a large proportion of domestic goods have been sent abroad, and to which 60 per cent of the imports of/ foreign goods have arrived. Its increase, in proportion to | other parts of the Union, may be estimated by the fact that the proportion of the whole imports arrived here in 1823 was 35 per cent, and gradually increased to 60 per cent. Under the descending grade of the Compromis« Act its prosperity rapidly increased. In thesame timc Boston and New England have grown surprisingly it manufacturing strength. Their goods, for the most part however, came to New York, Philadelphia and Balti more, for distribution throughout the Union. Accordin| to the census returns, $114,000,000 of goods were manu factured in the New England States; of this $75,000,00¢ may be estimated to have been sold through the citie mentioned, and of that $40,000,000 came yearly to New York for distribution, mostly a Wi 4 of oor , he foreign goods imported jew York were $60, ip making an aggregate of $100,000,000 of trade, dc pending partly upon its geographical position in relatio: to the western trade,and partly upon tariff law, restrictin the competition of the imports with the domestic good: This being the position of the city of New York, whe cave the New England States done?
