So xreat hes been the pressure of advertisements of late, the interest of the news, that, on several nave had to encroach on the space allotted hetormer. We shall endeavor to remedy this difficul ne publication of @ Hewato conrarminc 4 Surrie. cevy, until such time as we may feel authorised to in Since the month of May last, he cash advertising business of the Herald has more rease our dimensions. than doubled—thus furnishing one of the best evidences ovement of business in the healthy depart- amy ow make up for all lapses, by allotting space to our ulvertisers, even somewhat at the expense of readers. As there is no particular news floating, we QUARRELING OVER THEIR Mutrrox.—The loco- toco Assembly nominating committee meet to-night at Tammany Hall, to select theit ‘candidates, It will be a terrible time. The purse in prospect is equal to $150,000 salaries, and $100,000 in plunder, comprising all the State offices in ‘these diggens.”” © great questions are, “ will Mike Walsh nominated ?’—‘ will Tom Carr be nomi- nated”. will Jonathan D. Stevenson be no- minated ?’—or “will the devil be nominated ?”— For the fun of the thing, we should not be surprised f the latter gentleman had a good chance. He is certainly a personage of a great deal of character, uch as it1s—a philosopher, an orator, a financier, a mechanic, and an old democrat who is well ac- uainted with Tammany doings. Do, try him. lus Penny Press.—The ‘ Morning Chronicle,” 4 peany paper, published in Ann street, has increas- ed its size, and is now the largest one of its class. It is very well conducted, and will probably take the place of the “Sun,” which is going down every both in circulation and advertising, from its want of interest and talent. The Sun, in fact, is og so low in point of advertising that it has to lumns with grim “ghost stories,” a sure sign of twilight and sunsetting. day, SckaLina Mave Easy.—The ‘Courier and En- quirer” of rday, steals our report of the scene in the Court of § ‘ons relative to Webb’s sen- tence, puts it bodily into the columns, and very naively alludes to it in an editorial article as “our report.” The cool impudenoe with which the Col. of the Regular Army takes the labors of our report- er, word for word, is only paralleled by his recent speech tothe Court of Sessions. We shall certain- ly have to get up another indictment against him, and fix it in such a way that he won't get off again. And if he does not behave himself we certainly shall do so. Onto I 1on.—We need give no more returns. The election in this State last week has resulted in total defeat of the whigs. The democratic Go- vernor is probably elected by 3,000 or 4,000—and roth houses of the legislature by large majorities. ‘This astounding result causes deep reflection. Tur Founrains.—The Park fountain has been playing nearly sixty feet up to heaven for some days sometimes in the bright October sun—some- imes in the silver moonlight. It is one of the most ublime sights in the world—and is equal to Niagara Falls. When splendid fountains shall have been erected in the Battery, Bowling Green, St. John’s Park, New York will be the most magnificent city in the world. We begin trom the lth of October, 1°42, a new era of civilization. The crowds around the Park fountain, all day and all night, are im- mense, st ' Mosreau.—The concert of Mrs. Sutton, en Tues- day night, at the Apollo, was attended’ by a highly fashionable and discriminating company. Mrs. Sut- ton never appeared to more advantage, or sung better. The debut of her little lively daughter was aperfect gem. The archness, naivete, and sweet- nese of her singing and action brought down great applause Spurr anp Sreep.—We are somewhat indebted to Captain Newbury, of the steamer Columbia, for the early receipt of the foreignnews yesterday mor- ning. Harnden & Co.’s special messenger met her ! irate returns of their several Fifteenth Anncal Fatr of the American In~ stitute At Niblo’s Gardeu—1542, Wepvespay, Ocr, 19. Tre Macuine Room.—We now come to the long »romised report of this interesting room. In mak- ing st up, we have been greatly indebted to Mr. F; W. Stillman,conuacted wiih the beautiful engine we nay iready noticed. Itis ene of the greatest cu- tesat the Fair; andthe Messrs. Stillman are your modest, polite, and worthy gentlemen of the old school, The great variety of machines with which the long room appropriated to them is filled, will not al- low of a fullexplanation of the entire list. Weshaly however take a stroll, following our own inclination, but wherever we chance to stop, we will vouch for the correctness of our impressions. Of the large number of machines there exhibited, we notice the following _ 1.—A variety of machines for reeling silk, but not in operation—a decided fault. 2.—A small foot lathe, operating,a most ingenious contrivance fer making screws, pins, and rivets—a valuable acquisition to the work-shop of the maker of phulisophical and nautical instruments. Invented by L. D. & J. Walter, Fort Plain . ‘Two small revolving printing presses, opera ting, either with a cylinder or platten. ‘The peeuli- arity of the press consists in the manner in which the forms are transported and brought alternately under the platten or cylinder. The* beds’ at their extre- mities are thrown into a curved track—acting as a counterbalance to each other, and in a great degree reventing the jar occasioned by their momentum ‘n the platten press the sheet is inverted and print- ed on the other side, making the register perfect.— favented by J. G. Northrup, Ej. 4.—One of the New York Patent Nail Company's Engines, invented by Walker Hunt, Esq. This en- gine will cut from five or seven hundred Sta | minute fol. _ It produces a beautiful eld the peculiarities:—A_ sharp wedge shape; brad-awl point ; the head like the point, is eut wedging, and on both edges of the nail; the head cut solid and not liable to fly, off when driven. This machine may be told by its rapid, noisy strokes, which last sufficiently long to attract a crowd, or until the iron is out. Could not this be kept in eperation ? 5.—A machine employed in grinding white lead, but applicable to the grinding of grain, drugs, dye stuffs, bone, minerals, india rubber, and for many other purposes—in fact it is just what it is termed, a “universal mill.” All these purposes are effected by it with far greater perfection,and with one tenth the power required by other mills, Especially is it val- uable tor grinding paints—giving to them not only the mest exquisite fineness, but a beautiful polish, which no other machine can do. Additional inter- itsinventor, James Bogardus, Esq., of this city, is the individual who won such distinguished honors a few years since in London, by the invention of the metallic engraving machine, and the kaleida- scopic engraver, by which a bank note engraving was made—a fac simile of which could not possibly be produced even by the saine machine with the same operator. Another circumstance in that gen- tleman’s history transpired at that time, to throw a better light upon American genius. The Penny Post department offered a premium for the best plan of issuing and affixing stamps Our distinguished American measured his talents with thirty-six hun- dred competitors, and was successful. The sugges- tions which he then made to the department are at this day adopted to the letter. One other of his in- ventions, not before the world, though perhaps the most important of all, is a die sinking machine, by which adie may be produced by machinery givin toit absolute perfection. Only three specimens ot it are in existence, one of which is for the gold med- al of the American Institute. 6.—A splendid Screw Bolt and Nut-cutting Ma- chine, which will cut a bolt three inches in dia- meter, and of sufficient length to embrace the op- posite extremes of our city. This machine is from the establishment of R. Hoe & Co. 7.—Machine for tanning leather, in which the hides are made to pass alternately through the “‘Tiquor,” and a combination of rollers. By this operation the tannin is rapidly and effectually com- bined with the skin, without any chemical agency. and in a manner most nearly resembling the manue! operation of “ handling.” A skin was shown us which had been thoroughly tanned in “cold liquor” in three days. Invented by A. Van Pelt, German- town, Pa. y 8—A “‘ Self-setting Saw Mill Dog,” which stands under the ‘ Miniature Steam Dene table,” needs only a coat of paint to recommend itself—it being a very useful instrument, eflecting an important pur- pose with little trouble, and with unerring accuracy. Inventor—Linus Yale, Newport, N. Y. 9.—A machine for sawing eave troughs, invented by Jira Wing, Hume, Alleghany Co., New York. Mis machine consists mainly of two circular saws, working together at a proper angle, cutting from a solid timber the tcomate which has no seam, like those made from two boards in the usual way 10 —A “‘ Planing Machine for Iron,” by Stillman. & Co., Novelty Works. A detailed explanation of this master-piece of ingenuity and mechanical skill, would be scarcely possible without diagrams. It combines the following advantages:—The bed is driven by such means as to give to its motion the most pertect uniformity, preventing the least tremb- ling, however deep the “‘cut;” the motion of the bed is one-third faster backward than forward; the tool holder (self operating) so constructed as to work in every direction, planing horizontal, verti- cal inclined, concave and convex surfaces. The method of holding down the bed, of cleaning and oiling the ways, is entirely new. A visit to this machine should not be omitted | § 11.—‘* Progressive Steam Pile Driving Machine,” operated by a small steam engine, Capt. 8. Cram, inyentor. “This pile driver is so constructed, that when the pile is driven, a saw is put In motion which cuts it offat the proper level, and thus makes it a partof the foundation for the machine at its next step forward. 12.—At the farther end of the room, the spec- tator is brought to an agreeable pause in front of one of Stillman & Co.’s unrivalled steam: at Hudson, and from that place she came down the river atan annihilating rate, beating every other boat She arrived here at a 4 past 2 o’clock. From tus Wesr.—Last evening we received from Pomerey & Co. the Buffalo papers of Monday. We leara from them that Elisha Russell was robbed on Sunday of $4,878, on the ‘road from Lockport to Batavia, by two men. A reward of $400 is offered for the arrest of the robbers and the recovery of the money. Navat.—The U. S, steamship Missouri, Captain Newton, was at anchor off Tybee light on the 14th inst. Commodore Warrington, U. 8. Navy, arrived at Nortolk on the 16th inst. Heis ona tour of inspec- tion of the several navy ya ij Don’t forget that Madam Mecovino Malene’s concert takes place to-night at the Apollo Roems. She will be assisted by Signor De Begnis. That's enough. Mone [ypicrments.—The Grand Jury of Orleans Co., N. J., have indicted the wheat crop for the mis demeanor of being one-third under the average. By-and-by, grand juries will indict the clouds for mot raining, or the east wind for blowing too hard. A hurricane should be indicted for felony. Board of Supervisors, Alderman Balis in the chair. ‘The salary ofthe clerk to the Board of Eda- ad at $600 per annum, City Taxes—A long debate took place on the resolu. {the Mayor, to raise $118,000 for common schools, 1 of $59,000, che former being 1-20th of 1 per cent, 1 by law, and the latter recommended by the com. req mittee. it was suggested that members were compelled to uct according to law, under a penalty ($250), and fur- ther that the demand for schoothouses would require « large sum. The nt is for 1942, to reimburse money borrowed, and it was stated by the Mayor that more than $69,000 had been already paid by the Chamberlain on th: item. The debate was earnestly conducted by the Maj Aldermen Woodhull, Underwood, Purdy, Loonard, Crolins, Jones, Smith, Davies, and others. he two first items in the report have been . adopted. ‘The resolution of the Mayor was raferred to a committee, with instructions to examine into the facts, and report when the Board adjourned. The tax recommended is as follows :— General county contingencies, $746,000 Watch, 234,000 Lamps, . 120,000 Levying and collecting tax, 41,00 $1,141,500 Sum equal to the State quoted for com- mon schools, the tax for schools, for the deaf and dumb, and the blind, 98,464 $1,239,964 For extinction of the floating debt, 50,000 $1,299,964 For interest on the water loan, (it be- ing supposed that the balance to make up $640,000, will be raised from rent of the water,) 475,667 (‘The interest heretofore has been taken from amount borrowed.) ‘The tax of i mill on a dollar, laid by the State, for the payment of the State debt, (being 2.5th’s of the tax of the whole State,) engines. This engine, of which we have before spoken, is of twenty-two horse power, yet occupying butlittlemore space than a pianoforte, and answering every requisite of that instrument excepting music—unless it be the music of graceful motion—for of noise it makes none. Substantial and beautiful as this is, we are assured that it is not above the most ordinary of its pattern pro- duced at that establishment, and that it was but a few days since appointed, from among a number already sold, tu fill its presentenviable station. At tached to this engine is an adjustible ‘ ex; nm valve,” the invention of Horatio Allen, Esq., the able engineer of the Croton Aqueduct Commiseion- ers. Mr. Allen’s object has been to obtain for lo- comotive engines an expansion valve which could be adjusted without stopping—for instance, when the engine is upon an ascen ing arade, and r- ing the maximum effect of the boiler. Thi relject he has well attained. 13.—A further acquaintance with the Dynamome- ter induces us again to refer to it. It has been placed in its present position by the Institute, for the pur- pose of measuring the power oo et for the opera- tion of machines exhibited. Without such an in- strnment no machine exhibition canbe perfect. The value of machines generally depends essentially upon the expense of mechanical power necessary to propel them ; yet this power has necessarily been tested by conjecture or by uncertain modes of com- putation,but little better, the consequences of which pave too often told upon the success of those whose fortunes are embarked in mechanical enterprise. A desideratum of such importance is supplied by this instrument. It will test the power of a steam engine or water wheel direct, which no other ever has done ; and all is done with extreme accuracy, on principles purely scientific, and by a combina- tion extremely simple. It is not patented, but is claimed asthe invention of Charies T. James, New- buryport, Mass., and constructed by Bancroit, Pro- vidence, K. I Rario Exprgprrion.x—The following was handed to us for publication yesterday, (19th } The shoes spoken of are No. 1331, in the main saloon :— ‘The two goatskins (anda pair of ladies’ shoes made from one of said skins) exhibited by Wm. Burbank & Co. of 15 Jacob st,in this city, were manutactured by Wm. Burbank who killed the goats himself at 1 o’clock this morning, and the work in all its different branches, to wit :— beaming, tanning, shaving and finishing was executed by him, and completed as follows :—The skin ot which the were made, at 10 o’clock A. M.; it was then taken A. Roger 409 Broadway, and the shoes comple- ted and presented at this place f-past 1 o’clock P.M. (same day,) and the other finished at 20 minutes Vd 2M. and taken from his factory in the 8th Ward of the City of Brooklyn, a distance of about five miles from this place, ‘and presented at the same time. New Yorx, October 18, 1842. Pore Oranor County Mitx —We are extreme- ly glad to have an opportunity of calling public at- tention to the fact that the men, women, and chil- dren, infants and all, of the city of New York, can, even in their own well watered city, procure the Senuine article of pure milk, and no mistake. As we liappen to know the fact, we have no hesitation in publishiug it with confidence, lt is not only fend Orange county milk, but, what is an infinite plessing to the poor, it can be got for four cents per quart. Our attention has just now been called to this fact from seeing some milix at the Fair, purport- ing to be“ Pare Orange County Milk, from the farm of T. J. Smith, and sold at the depot of Ste- venson & Harrison, 491 Pearl street, between Cross street and City Hall Place, at 4 cents ert quart. — Butter-milk, at 2 cents per quart.” e know no thing about tis particular depot of milk, but have vo reason to doubt the above ‘statement.’ Gall and try it.

Thekeene: telis-us that he seems to be weaned from his owf kith and kin, and to have trausferred his affections to the human family, among whom he now associates. He really does Ticag tothe house of lords.. The keeper also tells us that he sleeps near by him at night, and is obliged to get up several times every night and visit his ox-ship, and have a little talk with him ; and in case he does not do so, the ox will groan in the flesh, and be greatly troubled. ~ ie A Park or Lona Ears —The next thing in size which attracted our attention, was a pair of long ears elevated aloft, somewhat after the fashion of the two smoke-pipes of a steamboat. On approach- ing them, what was our astonishment at discovering alive ass attached to the lower end of them—posi- tively an ass—all alive and kicking. The ears—we beg pardon—the ass, is 7 po old, and a real jack- ass, owned and imported from Spain by Dr. Pool, of New Brunswick, N. J.. so that he is a Spanish Don ; and as he had no name, we incontinently named him Don Juan, alias Don John, alias Don Jack, ali- as Don Jack-ass. We measured his ears, and found them to be precisefy a little less than 28 inches long —that is, both together. ae + Lany Tonxrn.—A 5 year old virgin heiter,’ raised by Edward Tonkin, Gloucester county, N. J, and owned by Davis, Roseman & Co., of the same place. She isthe fattest animal of the spe- cies, without exception, that we eversaw. Weighs 3017 pounds. The Kentucky virgin heifer is not a circumstance to her. Mi ti Ox Wasninaton.—By the same as above, weighs Butt Bexarp,—Imported and raised by Dr. Pool —3 years old—white—very fine—taken 5 prizes. Cow Mania.—Imported by Dr. Pool—7 years old —superior—taken 3 prizes. ss fi Butt Casrer.—Raised by Dr. Pool—white—very ane. Workine Burts.—Wm. R. Townsend’s, of New Haven—highly spoken of. i Jonn Topp’s Oxen.—A yoke of 5 years old twins —cherry red—handsome, and admirably trained— indeed we never saw any oxen so well trained. They march off, wheel to the rightand left, halt, dress, heads up, &e. &c., all as well out of the yoke asin it. Their names are Berry and Cherry, to which they will answer as_well as boys of the same age. Mr. Todd is from New Haven, Ct. Joun B. Dewer’s Your or Oxen.—From Derby, Ct., very well trained. e Joun Husparp’s Yoxr or Oxen.—From Guil- ford, Ct., 4 years old, twins, cherry red, beautifully trained, in the yoke or out. Another yoke of light red, by the same, 4 years old, well trained. _A Curnese Cow.—A great curiosity, and the gen- uine critter herself. She is imported from Canton and owned by Dr. Pool. She is Syears old, and has a calf by “Caster.” nearly as big as the dam. The cow isof a Lone Fada color, and a little larger than a yearlingcalf. Like other Chinese ladies her feet are very small. Dr. Pool hasa large stock of cattle at the Show, and all very fine. Tux Caravan or Anmmats.—We must not forget to notice a caravan of animals which was pared: ed down ‘Broadway from the Cattle Show, to the City Hall. The pageant was the four above named yoke of Oxen, dived by their owners, and drawing a common ox cart, on which was elevated the flag of the American Institute. In the cart were Messrs. Daniel Wing, Judge Lawrence, Ebenezer Wight, P. W. Brink, J. B. Davis and John Crook. ‘The whole was under command of Captain Martin Ellsworth and Lieutenant T. B. Wakemar, all sit- ting on rails of the cart, andaplank. It was the real cattle show. Goit. Appressks.—There was an able address at 4 P. M., by the Rev Dr. Cox, on occasion of the visit of the a Presbyterian Synod, who were invited to attend. In the evening an address by Wright Hawkes, Esq., pronounced with energy and talent. “Kowday, (Thursday) ; this is the last great day of the Cattle Show. - ‘The Military Musical School at Governor’s Island will visit the Fair fo-day—will march up Broadway tothe Cattle ground, and then down to the Garden. This evening, there will be the anniversary ad- dress by the Hon. Mr. Colby, of Mass., who has ar- rived in town. His subject is, “‘ The relations of Wealth and Labor.” On this occasion, the New York Sacred Music Society will perform an Ode by Rufus Dawes, Esq City Intelligence. Wuta Nomations.—The whig delegates selected by the several wards to nominate candidates for Assembly and Register; convened at the Broadway House,last even- ing, uominated Smith Dunning, innkeeper, of the third ward; E.G Baldwin, plane maker, of the filteenth ; and Horace #;_ John, merchant, of the ninth, as candidates for Assembly. and then adjourned, to meet on Friday evening. The nomination for Register was postponed until after the Assembly ticket was selected. Robert Tayton, present clerk of the Mayor, and Cornelius V. Anderson, Chief Engineer of the Fire Department, tendered their resigna- tions, which were accepted. Calvin Balis, Alderman of the first ward, was the highest candidate, and Richard H. Atwell, assistant Alderman of the sixth ward, the second. ‘The impression was that George Gichell, sail maker, of the tenth ward, would be selected at the next meeting, The following was the last ballot. No candidate receiv- ing less than ten votes to be counted :— Samuel Webster, Ship Joiner, 11th Ward, 43 Alonzo A.

Stone, and 62 others. Democratic Nomixations.—The Democratic Nomina- ting Committee met at Tammany Hall this evening, to se- lecttwelve candidates for the Legislature. We under- stand that a caucus hasbeen held by the delegates of se- veral wards, the names of whom are in our possession, to select certain men, pledged to support certain candidates for the offices of Health Physcian, To- bacco and Flour Inspectors, and the other offices with- in the giftof the Governor, to be appointed in this ci ty, in case Bouck should beelected. Such bargain and sale of the rights of the people will be discovered when the names of the candidates are given, and the whole ras- cally plot disclosed, with all the particulars. ‘The work- ingmen who made such a tur ut on Tuesday night, should follow up their vantage ground, and insist, nay, demand, the nomination of men™ their own class. Should such not be the result, let the assemble at Tammany Hall on the night of the general meeting called to cenfirm or feject the nominations, and then strike off all those who are objectionable, and place on those who are their hearty choice. This will be in accordance with all democratic usage, and within the bounds of allold landmarks, and will be sustained. New Countenreirs—On Saturday last, a man repre- senting himselfas E. Walker, of the corner of Madison and Roosevelt streets, stepped on board the sloop Cabot, of Madison, Conn., and purchased 100 bushels of potatoes of Capt, Selah Lee, at 20} cents a bushel, and proffered in payment a $100 note of the Greenwich Bank, which was received and $79 50 given in change. Upon examination, the note was found to have been altered from some broken bank, and therefore entirely worthless. It is of letter A. and signea by J. R. Satterlee, President, and Edward H. Weston, Cashier, and made payable to Henry Joyce. Officers Clark and Stokely arrested the rogue on ‘Tues- day evening, and he now gives the name of John Parks. The sum of $48 wos found in his possession, and among the bills were two $20 notes of the same bank as those given him by Capt. Lee. Rosexky in tHe Steext.—The trunk of Mr. Henry Selby, of Mackinaw, Michigan, was taken from a hack while he was proceeding from one ofthe North river boats on Wednesday morning. It contained $500 in money, and all the clothes he brought with him, besides valuable pa- pers and letters. Tre Bert on tHe Tomns, placed there yesterday, was taken from the belfry of Kssex Market. It is one of the Spanish importation, and will wake the whole Sixth ward up every time it sounds the alarm of fire. Kivuep py Jumring rrom 4 Winnow—A man named William Crumbie, a native of Seotland, was killed on Tuesday evening by either jumping or accidentally failing fromthe attic window of an emigrant boarding house No. 26 Peck Slip, where he has recently resided. He was found eae he pay cs in adying state, er being taken of and died soon skull being frac: tured. He had been complain! lgese several days, and appeared to partial ranged on Taesdey ahernoon, Axormen—A man named George) May, a painter by trade, also jumped {rom the third story ‘window of 542 Pearl street, in astate of partial,intoxication, on Tuesday evening and was so severely injured as to cause death. Drath py Anse: German named ‘has been ig at 73 Centre oe ‘on Monday morning. ‘man, Ww! himself was forms ant in this city, bat had become reduced; and itifsuppesed that the act was committed from reverse of fortune that he had recently experienced. Dishonest Compiex.—A cobbler named Joseph Ketzin- a was committed yon Suspicion of be sto- en a gold patent lover watch, worth $68, from Isidore Raphael, of 100Chatham street. He had entered the store of Mr. Raphael to return a pair of boots thathe had been ending, and after leaving the premises the watch was mis- sing, but not found in his possession when he was arr; _BY THE SOUTHERN MAIL. cg The papers received by the southern mail last night, were entirely destitute of interest Ninto’s Garpen Last Evenina.—The way the people crowded in to see the Fair last evening, was a most egregious and unmitigated jam; it was jam here, and jam there, and jam everywhere. Pick-rocxets.—On the day of the Croton Cele- bration the pict ee assembled here from vari- ous parts of the U. States—nearly an hundred cases of pocket-picking took place on the Mth. The po lice were very active and successful. They cap- tured a number of well dressed gentlemen—and they will doubtless be tried and convicted during the present session of the court. _ ehope the Recorder will on them their full term in the Penitentiary—any lenity to this sneak- ing gang of thieves is only encouragement. If we would break them up it must be by great severity in the sentence. The pick-pockets must be convinced tnat New York is an unsafe place to practice their light fingered profession. AN Reaper. Emicration.—Letters from England inform us that there will be an enormous emigration from England and Ireland next spring. Thousands who were deterred by the fear of war between England and the U States, no longer hesitate. ‘The class of emigrants will be far more respectable than we have been in the habit of receiving. The desire to emi- grate is affecting the middle classes. Many of the better sort of tenantry of the nobility are preparing to leave for Canada and the U. States. This class bring considerable sums with them, to purchase farms already cleared. Many of them settle in the vicinity of small towns ; a number of the latter ar- rived the past! year, and settled in Delaware and Ulster counties. Nuo’s.—A splendid series of entertainments here this evening—performances on the single and double rope, and two comic pantemimes. It is, be- sides, the last appearance of Madame Javelli, who has won golden opinions from the visiters to this fashionable résort. All the Ravels will app2ar. Cuatnam Tneatre.—The Chatham has now a company of performers composed of the first talent, and such as has never yet been surpassed byany esta- blishment in the Union; and the degree of grandeur in whieh dramatic representations are produced at this house, fully evinces the tact and enterprise of the manager. To-night three beautiful melo dra- mas are to be represented, in which Messrs. Cline, Lennox, and Wood are to appear. A rich bill, and one that will ensure a full house. GG One of the most brilliant audiences we have lately scen, attended the American Museum last evening. Dr. Valentine, the prince of comic performers and delineator of American peculiarities, 1s a real original, and kept the house in aconstant roar of laughter. His imitations are decidedly better than those of any performer on the Ame- rican stage. The mechanical automatons from Italy are great works of art, and create universal surprise and ad- miration. The performances altogether are of the most chaste, finished and amusing description, and highly wor- thy the immense patronage bestowed on this favorite place of public amusement. Performances every afternoon and evening. (iG Of all places of amusement, the New York Muse ‘um presents the strongest attractions. There we see the works of artand nature, in every form and shape. The dwarf there at present, is a wonderful specimen of na- ture’s handi work.

Upon inquiry, we find the prices to be nearly, or precisely as follows: at any rate the whole expenses range under $60, for the mere travelling on railroad, stage, or steamboat. New York to Baltimore. Baltimore to Charleston. Charleston to Aug Augusta to Madison . . Madison to Franklin. . Franklin to Montgomery. ie. Montgomery to Mobile (specie funds) Mobile to New Orleans. .......... This is a most expeditious route; being done in six or seven days. At Montgomery we find there is no delay, as boats are always in waiting to take ers on to Mo- bile the instant the arrive. 'e learn, also, that it is likely the fare will be still lower.

It is never found in the extreme of fasion, nor arranged with the punctilious minuteness of a petit mitre, but in that moderate and happy medium which taste and judgment at all times apprave. No one has done more for the establishment of a pure and correct taste in the depart- ment of Hair Di than Clirehugh, 205 Broadway. One of Canova’s sculptured heads is not easier recognised than one of the living, arranged by the magic touch of Clirehugh. In both there is the same classic outline, the dame beautiful proporiion in the division of the hair, the same luxurious softness—in fact, an expression given to the whole countenance which can only be imparted by the hand of atruly great artist. Gentlemen who stud; personal appearance, or the elegancies of fashion, show place their hair under his charge, and be assured they will not be disappointed. Grand Gallery of Fashien, 205 Broadway.

The unfortunate stagnation in the corn trade is produc- ing further mischief Failures continue. Messrs, King and Melville, who find it impossible to realise thar property soon enough to meet their engagements, and were therefore compelled to ask an extension of time.

It may be sufficient to observe that excitement and uncertainty is very great, and that in taking bills,the brokers exercise the most vigilant seru~ tiny. The losses arise chiefly on contracts entered into eaily this year, say up to May, and therefore not altera- ble by the subsequent improved prospects of the crops. In relation to the prospects of the produce market « London paper remarks as follows :— will not lower spect to cargoes not yet arrived, by the right of grinding in bond for expo |, which the recent act establishes, and which important provision has already been made available by one or two houses.

The news from abroad was not looked upon in a favor- able light. There is no glimmer yet of a return of confi- } dence in American securities, Some of the gentlemen connected with the governinent loan have returned, and give a gloomy account of the standing of American credit, Some disposition was manifest to buythe low priced stocks or those ofthe delinquent States, in order to make a low average cost, in the hope of ultimate payment. The high priced stocks were utterly neglected. They are all pleced apparently upon the same footing in relation to character. The prospects of the cotton market as connected with the manufacturing districts were never more gloomy. The effect of the accounts upon the stock market wasto cause ageneral decline at the Board. Kentucky 6’s fell }; Har- lem j, Bank of Commeree }; Delaware & Hudson }; Mo- hawk }. C. M’Alister, Esq. who went to England connected with the ageney of the United States Loan, has returned by this steamer, as also Silas M. Stilwell, who went on busi- ness from the department. It appears that Mr. Robinson, was unable to affect any negotiation for money. On his first arrivel some of the leading houses seemed disposed to give him a favorable hearing, but on consultation, they arrived at the conclusion, that if they took the loan it must be so on their own account, that they would find it impossible to dispose of any part, that public opinion would be against them, and the press would attack them, consequently alleonnection with it was declined. The feeling was greater against “ the repudiatora” on the con- tinent than in England. The ability of the London houses to take it themselves, may be inferred from the fact that the rich house of Baring,Brothers & Co.,on being required to specify their business profits subject to the income tax, stated it at but a few hundred pounds for the Jast three years. Another leading house made a similar statement. Thisis not to be wondered st, when we consider the im- mense depreciation in stocks with which they were con- nected, and the disastrous results of the cotton trade for ‘the past few years. All American stocks were pet apon the same footing. It isin vain to preach to European capital: ists that New York and the federal gevernment is better than Illinois and Mississippi, while wealthy New York, merchants are gnilty of the most glaring acts of repudia tion ; and a leading political party in that State bases its claim for power on their intention to repeal a tex sa- credly pledged to the redemption of a loan obtained on the strength of it. The same spirit, say they, pervades every section, and the same opportunity would produce the same results—a people cannot be separately dishonest and collectively trustworthy: It seems, however,that the knowledge of the immense re- sources of this country. is becoming more dessiminated, and also the conviction of the necessity of a more extend- ed freedom of intercourse. The late tariff passed here was received with as great surprise as regret ; but as ma- ny of the leading manufacturers publicly and significant- ly stated, tariff or no tariff,” there will be lack of goods in America, General Duft Green, it appears, has made strprising progress in attracting attention toa schemeof his which has the object of a reciprocal treaty, by which the produce of this country shall be received in exchange for English manufacture. The General is in high confi. dence with people near the ministry, and hopes to obtain the appointment of a delegation to confer with the several State Legislatures during their coming sessions, by which a plam of mutual intereourse may be concocted. Thene- cessity of some plan ,by whichithe tottering manufactur- ing interests of England, may be preserved from the con- tinental competition which is crushing them, has. caused leading men to lend a willing ear to some proposition of the kind. The one on foot, however, is like the wild vi- sions that were pictured forth in the famous “cotton let- ter” of General Green in 1839. It will have the effect, however, of drawing attention to the importance of free trade, and ultimately of doing away with that oppressive protective system which the voice of tho people at the late elections has so justly condemned. The modification of the English tarift has already had a wonderful effect in placing the necessities of living more witiin the reach of the laboring poor. In relation to this we make the follow- ing extraet from the London Bankers circular :— We inust not omit to notice the first decided symptom of the shaking and crumbllii wn of that renowned fa- brie, the agricultural ef England. The Gov- ernment contract for and pork has been by German firms at, it appears, ‘bout 44d for the rk, and 4}d for the beef—the tierce being 300 Ibe weight. the fall in price from the contract of last year to be about 25 per cent, confirming what we have always said concerning the effects of the Tariff.

GIBSON, Cashier, This is the season of the year when it becomes the pub- lic to be exceedingly cautious in relation to the paper mo- ney offered them. We understand that thenotes of many spurious concerns are circulating at the west, purporting to be under the free bank law of New York. The bills of one in particular, purporting to bethe “Globe Bank of New York,” are oftered in large amounts in Tennessee andother western States in payment of produce. There inno such concernin existence. About two years ago a person named Bishop, with some accomplices, opened an office in Wall street, and called it the “Globe Bank.”— ‘They issued large amounts of drefts atten days ell over the interior, which drafts purported to be redeemed in Wall street. The first presentations, however, exploded the concern. The bills now circulating west are proba. bly some of the same concern.
