J.G.B. ETT, au streets, Progress or THE Counrer Kevo.vrion.—The counter revolution started in Boston by Mr. Web- ster against Mr. Clay, the exploded cabinet, and the ultra whigs, taken in connection with the election results throughout the country, is beginning to de- velope a very strange movement among the politi- cians of this city. Mr. Cushing followed up Mr. Webster—Mr Spercerhas gone in the same direc- tion, and we now have the various office-holders under Goyernor Seward, publishing their views— and defining their positions in the present state of party confusion. specimen, and a small card of the same kind of tramps, played by John C. Spencer, the fol- lowing has been circulated among the democrats of this city, during the last few days:— City or New Youx, October, 1842. Like many other honest Democrats, | gave a Conse tive But the state of things has changed. I cannot approve of the course pursued by the majority in Congress, and their unjust and rancorous hostility tothe President, whose measures I cordially approve. There is now no middle ground, and the Jetfersonian school of politics must and will be tri- umphant. Asan American of conscientious principles, and that my example may have its influence, I am induced to make this public declaration of my sentiments, and to pledge my vote and best tions, in support of the Democratic Asa y ithere proclaim, in advance of the Spprceshing State election, my sinc and firm conviction, that Wil- liam C. Bouck, is destined to be the n State of New York. | take great pleasure in congratulating you on the pre- sent auspicious prospects of the democratic party through- out the entire Union, Governor of this OLIVER HOLDEN, 147 Waverly Place, New York. This Oliver Holdon, it seems, is a measu- rer of grain, appointed by Governor Seward, and confirmed by the recent whig State Senate. The contagious example of John C. Spencer, once Gevernor Seward’s Secretary of State, has had an irresistible influence on his politics. Oliver, there- fore, could not resist the desire to give an exact and full definition of his position—an exposé of his views, not so long or so learned as John C. Spencer’s, but quite as explicit, clear, and to the point. This singular counter-movement is, we are told, spreading like wildfire throughout the city, and Cro- ton water cannot quench it. How many more of Governor Seward’s office holders will be defining their positions, no one can tell. We like Oliver Holden’s declaration better than any we have seen, since the speech of Mr. Webster. It is short and sweet—much more so than either Mr. Cashing’s or Mr. Spencer’s, and will probably influence more votes, and cause more renunciations. At all events, this fact, coupled with the events of the day, indicates the extraordinary changes that are taking place in favor of Captain Tyler, and the influence which a President can wield over public opinion. If the democracy do not quarrel about the spoils at Tammany Hall, Captain Tyler will hold them all in the hollow of his hands in less than two months. Enavant. We are now ready to hear Mr. Webster's second speech. Repwoop = Fisner’s —Ovsrers.—John Jones, our friend of the ““Madisonian,” is in a per- fect fury with those who have published Redwood Fisher’s famous private letter to the Postmaster General. John says that the letter was “either feloniously procured or maliciously forged.” We are inclined to the first opinion, trom the fact that Redwood has not denied the letter, but has been hopping round town for several days like a parch- ed pea But the question is, “who stole it 7” “how came it to be stolen?” It is a pertect mystery how such a letter could be stolen, for no one could suspect Redwood of furnishing the copy to make a fuss with in this sinful world. At all events, be the original letter stolen or a copy furnished by any one, it seems to reveal nothing but what is true, in the eflort made by Noah and his tail to organise a little cligue in New York— eall it the “ Administration Republican General Convention,” put himself at the head of it, as ““M. M. Noah, chairman,” and thus strut about the world in the ‘old clo’” and borrowed breech- es from Tammany Hall, as he once did in bor. rowed habiliments of Richard III, as Grand Judge of Israel on Grand Island. Noah had better stick to the oyster trade—it is fat and oily, and just equal to his capacity Mike Watsu—Tuk Orn Coon—Mesmerisw.— Mike Walsh and the young democracy are making strong demonstrations to strike off a partof the candidates on the Tammany Assembly ticket, at the county meeting which is to take place next Tuesday. And the position and movements of this young democracy are beginning to be of immense importance to both parties in this city and State. From a pretty accurate calculation, we find it highly probable that the elections in the various other parts of the State will be very close indeed, and so close, in fact, that the vote of this city will un- doubtedly determine the vote of the State. In this event, ifthe young democracy put forth all their fire and energy they will probably be able to rally 1000 or 1,500 votes, Bat if they have not more than 500 votes, and the whigs use much exertion, that num- ber will turn the vote of this city either way. So that, in short, this movement of the young demo- crats may cause a loss not only of this city to the locofoco party, but a loss of this State, including Governor, State officers, U.S. Senator, and Assem- bly, besides all the fat offices in the Governor's gift here and elsewhere; and, above all, the resur- rection, instead of the burial of that “ old coon.” Mike is determined to mesmerize “ that old coon,’ and see if he can’t be made to do mischief once more, s rug FRrontrer.—We understand that Mr. T. N. Parmelee, the government agent for detecting and preventing smuggling on the frontier, has arrived in this city, on his way to the Canada lines, in order to carry out the directions of the Sec- retary of the Treasury. He has already reported in part to the Department. On his last trip he went as far as Si. Johna, tasted the water there, looked round the city, had Various conversations with Canadians, and ascer- tained that many horses had been smuggled for the last two years—to the amount probably of $12,000 loss to the Department. (At Burlington he as- sisted to save froma watery grave, a large fat lady, who was supposed by some persons to have been made up of lace and fine silks rolled round her per- son, to bring into the States in derogation of the revenue laws, The mistake was found out after she was fished up—instead of fine lace, it was fine sively her own property, and not unlawful t ia 01 fat, exe to carry. Mr. Parmelee will set out ina day or two on his second trip to Canada, in the furtherance of his mission, and will probably visit Montreal, Quebec, Kingston, Toronto, all upto Detroit, betore winter sets in. He has a vast field of operations, and if the go,ernment wants to stop smuggling, they ought to allow him more than $3 per day and roast beef. He ought to have a wagon and two capital trotting horses, with a corps of agents all along the line. During our recent visit to Canada, we'ascertained that in the event of a high tariff being passed, vast preparations were to be made to revive the smug- gling trade, which of late years had been broken up, bythe gradual reduction of duties under the compromise act. Several houses have since been established in Canada, as we are informed and be- lieve—their centresin Montreal,their agenciesevery where, for the purpose of carrying on a large busi- ness in violation of the revenue laws of this coun- try. Probably capital to the amount of $200,000 have been sent out from England for this purpose, from the manufacturing districts of England, where they are very hostile to the! American tariff. In combination with this business, there will bea great deal of wheat and flour smuggled from the United States into Canada, which will be taken in payment for the smuggled British goods. In many instances we learned that tor one barrel of American flour,or one bushel of American wheat that was regularly entered and paid colonial duty, they generally smug- gled 9 bushels or 9 barrels under the mask of the former. We have no doubt but the smuggling trade will be revived to a great extent on the border. It will take the place of the patriot excitement—for every patriot will find it more profitable to be a smuggler; besides, the business is full of romantic adventure, curious enterprise, considerable profit, some poetry, plenty of pudding, and oceans of roast beef. If Mr. Parmalee and his corps of assistants can prevent sucha movement, they may be able to stop the falls of Niagara—but not till then. Much virtue and pa. triotism will be required to resist even temptation. Ifsuch a crisis had taken place during the Presiden- cy of Mr. Van Buren, the agent selected could have made $200,000 in one winter, merely by under standing signs and winking the left eye—but Mr. Parmalee will be a faithful and efficient officer of the government, as faras it is possible to be so on such an extended frontier. The revenue of the go- vernment will, however, sufler greatly, frem this cause during the next year—probably four or five millions of dollars at the least. ‘The British manufacturers and the Canadian mer- chants will carry on the war into Africa with a ven- geance—and no mistake. ATLantio Steam Suirs aND THEIR SuccEss.—Capt. Hewitt, of the steam ship Britannia, which leaves Boston next Tuesday for Halifax and Liverpool,has been in this city for a day or two. He likes New York, thinks it a great city, admires the Park foun- tain, and glorious Broadway. He has been here before—twice in the capacity of chief officer of the Royal William, when she floated like a duck over the broad Atlantic, and is universally esteemed wherever he goes—so much so indeed, that his pas- sengers have compelled him to take snuff out of a superb gold box, and drink Madeira from rich silver tumblers. His ship, the Britannia, is a crack ves- sel, and ploughs her way through the deep as gal- lantly asever a steamer did. But notwithstand- ing this, very few passengers will go in her— probably more than went in the Acadia, yet not so many as the Columbia and Caledonia carried on their lasttrips. The fact is, these four steamers are now losing money. Let us examine into the causes which have led to this. It is well known that the Hon. Samuel Cunard, of Halifax, had the organizing of this steam ship line on this side of the Atlantic. In the contract with the English government, the steamers were to touch atHalifax and one American port. Mr. Cunard had the selection of that port. He visited Boston for the purpose, was feasted and féted, driven to Mount Auburn, to Dorchester Heights, and rode over a part of the Western railroad. The merchants of thateity, with their usual sagacity, explained and extolled Boston, offered to give him a wharf for the steamers, and have his coal come in free of duty.— After thishe came here—went to New Brighton, walked down Wall street, noticed that every one at- tended to his own business, and neglected to offer him a whart, or supply him with coal, or pay any special attention to him. So he went back to Bos ton, with the opinion that that city was the United States, and the United States was Boston. He was convinced that Halifax, hid six months of the year in a dense fog, and Boston, were the only two com- mercial cities on the “ two shilling side” of the At- lantic—and of course the Britannia, Columbia, Ga- ledonia, and Acadia must touch at those two places. For this service, a magnificent silver vase was pre- sented to him by the merchants of Boston. What hasbeen the result of this? For a year, while the novelty lasted, the steam- ers carried a fair number of passengers, but not enough to pay expenses, notwithstanding the £60,000 which the line received from the British post office. That department of the English gov- ernment was then compelled to give £20,000 per annum additional—but money continues to be lost by the company. And this too,while the Great Western without aid from any government, has paid her way handsomely, It is very clear, therefore, that the location of the American dopot for these Royal Mail Sieamers, has been the cause of their want of success. Boston is a very good city, a clean city, a moral city, but it cannot be compared with New York. This is the centre of the western world—every thing tends to this point—every person comes here— this is the London of America. No one ever thought of Boston as a depot for steam ships. That city has had its packet ships, and failed in support- ing them—that city, like Bristol in England, has had itsday,and cannot now keep up a line of steam ships. No one thinks of going to England by the way of Boston, any more than they think of going to Liverpool by the way of Bristol. It is idle to say, that passengers will go out of their course, when it costs them an extra sum of money to do so. They will not do it. We gather from this a fact, namely : If the Ro yal Mail Steamship Company wish to have their fine steamers go full of passengers,they must send them from Halifax to New York and not to Boston. We believe that the present managers of the line are men capable of judging which is best for their inte- rest, and if they will but look at the success of our seven lines of — erb packet ships since the year 1820—the success of the Great Western ever since she was launched,the non-success of their own splen- did vessels, they will not hesitate a moment in mak- ing up their minds as to the best course for them to take. We have seen the Great Western leave with eighty cabin passengers—a packet ship sail the next day with not less than thirty—and in less than a week after, one of the steamers would depart from Boston with not more than twenty-five in all. Straws tell which way the wind blo ws. Di Dickens write Tux Review t—As might have been expected, several papers have underta- ken to throw a doubt upon the authenticity of the statement, that Dickens wrote the Review of American Newspaper Literature, which recently appeared in the Foreign Quarterly; and pretend to give reasons for their belief. On the other hand, the circumstances under which the impression arose, that Dickens was the author of the article in question, are all very strong. In the first place, Dr. Shelton Mackenzie, the Eng- lish correspondent of Noah’s paper, says that the authorship is universally attributed to Dickens, and that such is the general impression in London. Secondly, several persons who have recently arrived « here from England, say that it was generally talked about in the literary circles there, that some such review written by Dickens, was shortly to appearin one of the periodicals published in London—and most probably, that issued by Diekens’s own pub- lishers. Again, several private letters have been re- ceived by gentlemen in this country from Dickens, in which he speaks of the newspaper press of the United States in exactly the same strain as the re- viewer in question does—denounces it as holding the people of this country in a state of turaldom, and abuses it for what he terms its reckless and un- principled tyranny. In short, the burthen of his letters when writing about the press of the United States, is the burthen of the review, sentiment, and almost word for word. We could state the names of the individuals who have received these letters, and put our fingeron the documents; but as they are presumed to be private and confidential, we don’t feel authorized to do so. From all these circumstances, it is very conclu- sive that Dickens either wrote the review, or lad a hand in dictating to and directing the writer thereof. The idea put forth by a Philadelphia paper, that the review was written by Duff Green,is utterly prepos- terous. Duff Green has teo much sense, and is too well acquainted with the newspaper press of this country, to be the author of such a mass of absurdi- ties, contradictions,and bare-faced falsehoods as are put forth in that review. And particularly with re- gard to the New York Herald, we know that Duff Green entertains very different sentiments; for he has expressed himself personally to us, as highly ad- miring and approving the course, policy and system of tactics pursued by the Herald. it is quite certain that he had a hand in it, and pro- bably under the direction of the celebrated clique who sent him out here. This clique consisted of those who signed the famous letter on the Copy- right Law, whieh was published in the “Evening Post,” before Dickens left here. And taking this view of the matter, it would then prove that this review is the result of a conspiracy among the mem- bers of this clique, to abuse and falsify by every means in their power,the institutions of this ceuntry, and those who are daily endeavoring to sustain them with their best energies. And this conspiracy was doubtless entered into by these men, because they found that they could not monopolize this mar- ket for the sale of their books; and seeing that this market would soon become the best in the world for the sale of them. View it in whatever light we may, it isa most mean, selfish and disgraceful movement; and only paralleled by the impudence of the clique in a mat- ter which is notorious, viz: their sending out Dick- ens as their agent to get a copyright law pessed, and paying his expenses as a travelling bagman; and thus endeavoring to deceive the whole community— which they would have done,had not the folly,ignor- ance and vulgarity displayed by Dickens himself, when here, exploded the whole thing, and caused him to be long remembered in the history of Five Point manners and morals in this city. We shall not quit the subject till the authors are thoroughly exposed. Return Trok.—The recent letter of the Hon. John C. Spencer has created a terrible flurry among the whigs and young coons. It seems to have been intended to assist and follow upthe blow lately given by Mr. Webster and Mr. Cushing, and it is put in with a great deal of energy. It will probably be the means of bringing out several other distinguish- ed men, who will also do much by speech and ac- tion to oppose the extraordinary and ultra move- ments of the indiscreet and violent portion of the Clay men. The first speech of Mr. Webster was a thunder clap to them; but the second speech bythe same great statesman will be more severe than ever; it will contain the thunder, the lightning, hur- ricane, and whirlwind combined, and will utterly demolish the ultras of those who call themselves the Clay party. Exection Notices.—Both boards of the Common Council met last evening, and passed an ordinance, agreeably to a recent law of the legislature, direct- ing the clerk to cause maps of the election districts to be made out, and the usual notice of place and time for holding the polls to be posted in the various wards. ANoTHER NEW Putosopnical, Movement.—Dr. Buchanan, the great mesmerist, or neurologist, has commencement his movement in this city, and has already made prodigious progress. Mr. Brisbane and the Fourierites, may as well step across the street, and shut up shop. Dr. B. has touched the Mayor, W.C. Bryant, and the immortal Cox, 41 Nassau street, who makes pantaloons for us—besides a do- zen others of poets, literati, artists—all of whom are true believers in his doctrines. This new wonder in philosophy professes to cure diseases, headaches, (possibly heart aches,) by the imposition of the hands—and to put people into hys- terics by aparticular turn of the thumb. There is one question we would like to ask of this philoso- pher. Can he, by the imposition of hands, or the turn of a thumb, pay a man’s note at the bank be- fore three o’clock on the last day of grace? If he can, goto Wall street—his fortune is made. ‘Notwithstanding this State has chosen a whig legislature, yet the popular vote exhibits a democratic majority of atleast two thousand. There was no organized opposition in Bargen, Sussex, Warren and Huntingdon, and the democrats therefore had it all their own way in those counties. But by the gerrymandering of the whigs, they secured a majority in the legislature, which is some importance to them just now. New Jensty —The Legislature of New Jersey was organized on Tuesday by the election of the Hon. William Chetwood, of Elizabethtown, as vice president, by a majority of two votes Last year, the Council being equally divided between the two Parties, the choice of the vice-president was con- ceded to the Locos. Charles G. McChesney, Esqr. of Mercer, was unanimously elected secretary, and R. D. Shreve, of Burlington, sergeant-at-arms. In the Assembly, the Hon. Samuel B. Halsey, of Morris, was elected to the Speaker's chair, by a ma- jority of five; Alexander Cattell, clerk, and Daniel B. Britton, sergeant-at-arms. Those elected are all Whigs The Governor is to be chosen next Friday ; the U.S. Senator will also be probably chosen, and the State districted this Session. Frexou Enterrrize.—We are informed by our foreign exchanges, that the celebrated M. de Castel- nau, is about to make, under the sanction of the French Government, an expedition to the central regions of South America. This great exploring journey extends across the continent from Rio Ja- neiro to Lima, a line of no less than 1000 leagues, never yet visited by European. M. Castelnau, re- turns along the route of the astronomer Le Conda- anine, by the Amazon riverand Guiana. This en- terprize was planned under ;the auspices of the late Duke of Orleans, and is now carried out by the Duke de Nemours. A Femate Prracter.—Miss Jordan, a lady from Illinois, is causing a great excitement among the Methodists of Cincinnati, by her preaching. (gy Grace Darling, it is said, » is not dead, But even admitting Dickens was not the author, j Tue Sroms.—The prospect being fair that the cvons now fatting atthe public crib, whose names we have published, will be treed at the ensuing election, the following possums have already taken the field for places to be made vacant on such an emergency:— : For Health Officer.—Salary $10,000 per annum, if not more—Dr. Bache, ot the 6th ward; Dr. Harris, of the Ist; Dr. Wilson, of the 5th; Dr. Vanhoven- berg, of the Sth; Dr. Williams of the 12th; and Dr. Peixotto of the 1th; and about a dozen others, who will either take this or jump at the place of Re sident Physician or Health Commissioner, worth $2000 each. For Wardens of the Port, Harbor Masters, and Commissioners of Pilots, there are some 250 appli- cants already in the field. é Tobacco Inspector —Peter Esquirol, tobacco- nist; Jesse West, grocer; Nathaniel Pierce, and about forty others, who hardly know leaf tobacco from plug, or negro head from cavendish. For Flowr Inspector.—Henry Everson, baker; James Zeiss; and 213 others, who can scarcely tell a barrel of flour trom a cask of corn meal. ; For Pot and Pearl Ash Inspector.—Yames Smith, printer, a devilish clever fellow; Emanuel B. Thompson, broker, and some 131 more, who would be puzzled to distinguish pot from pearl ashes, un- less it was put in their eyes. Inspector of Green Hides and Skins.—Montgomer Rankin, and some half a dozen soap boilers and tal- low chandlers. For Inspectors of Flaxseed and Quercitron Bark, Weigher General of Merchandize, and Inspector General of Staves, there are numerous applicants, some of whom hardly know a stave froma board, or flax from mustard seed. . 2 % For Inspector General of Domestic Distilled Spi- rits, allthe broken down locofoco distillers are put- ting in, and several of the temperance reformers, the latter of whom hope thus to break up the busi- ness, For commissioners to loan the surplus revenue coming to this city, (when it doescome,) all the de- faulters of the locos, and about a dozen honest men. For the places occupied by Judges Randall and Sherman, of the Marine Court, all the broken down lawyers of the locofoco party, and those who can’t make a living with their brains. i For Trustee of the State Lunatic Asylum in place of Col. Stone—Boggs of the Evening Post, and John Lamorelle of the 4th ward. * For Inspectors of Domestic Distilled Sas all the patrons of the Pewter ning, Tammany Hall, Jo. Murphy’s, Johnny Carland’s, St. John’s Hall, Hole in the ‘Wall, &c. &c. For Inspectors of Sole Leather, Beef and Pork, Lumber, Fish, Hops, Measurers of Grain, Weighers of Merchandize, and Cullers of Staves, almost every member of the locofoco party who does not hold an office, or expect one inthe ustom House. Another batch ready in a few days. City Intelligence. Wric Nomination ron Recisten.—The Delegates of the Whig party assembled at the Broadway House, last evening, nominated George Eichell, sail maker, as their candidate for Register, of the county of New York. He received 53 votes on the last ballot, Calvin Balis, Captain Alexander Schultz, and others, receiving the balance. He was then selected by a unanimous vote. J. Sherman Brownell, the present incumbent of the office, is the De- mocratic candidete for re election, and as they are both devilish clever fellows, the race will be a elosely con- tested one. Nomination or Joun McKeon ror Concress.— The Democratic delegates of the Sixth Congressional District, comprising the 11th, 12th, 15th, 16th and 17th Wards, no- minated John McKeon, last evening, as their candidate for Congress. The vote stood for McKeon 13; Thomas Jeremiah 8; Fernando Wood 3; Eli Moore 1. More withdrew his name from the list of candidates on Tuesday afternoon. It will be remembered that McKeon was de- feated in the fifth district, comprising the Sth, 9th and 14th wards, and wequestion very much, from the feeling ex- hibited last night, whether he can obtain the full vote of the Democrats of the Sixth. We shall see, however. Tue Wmicsof the third Congressional District, com- posed of the Ist, 2d, 3d, 4th and 5th Wards, meet at the Shakespeare this evening, to pass upon the nomination of Phenix for Congress. The North River boys will be there in strong numbers to oppose the nomination— Much fun may be looked for, and that same old coon will be exhibited on the platform all alive. Tue County Court meet at 11 o'clock this morning to continue the farce of the prosecution against Justices Stevens, Matsell and Parker, Tue Great Trot between the celebrated horses Ame- ricus and Ripton came off yesterday over the Beacon Course, The match was for $1000 aside, three mile heats, in harness. Americus was the favorite by odds of two to one before the start, and considerable money was posted. ‘The first heat was closely contested, and won by Ameri- cus in 8m. 03s. The betting here ranged at $100 to $5 on Americus, and but few takers were found, even at this long odds. The second heat was sharply contested, but Ripton proved the better horse, and won it in $m. 01s., beating bis competitor buta short space, amid the shouts ofthe assembled crowd. On the third heat, Americus was still the favorite, and kept the lead until the last quarter ofthe last mile, when Ripten passed him, and won the heat in 8m. O4s.; thus taking in all the knowing ones, and putting many a roll in poekets of small capital that had risked allon the long odds. Americus kept a continual “break up” on coming in at the end of the last heat, thus giving his opponent a sure advantage, which he turned to good account. The three heats, of nine miles, were thus accomplished in 24 minutes and 8 seconds, being at the rate of 30 miles at hour. Tue Boanps or ALDERMEN AnD Assistants met last evening to pass an ordinance, giving notice of the time of holding the ensuing election, in accordance with the re- cent law of the State. This ordinance makes it the duty of theclerk of the Commen Council to prepare a map of each ward, containing the several election districts, which map is to be placed in ten public places of each dis- trict. He is also to furnish copies to the severai inspectors of election, and place notices of the time and place of hold. ing said election in each district and the time of opening and closing the poll, in eight places in each district. Sxpucine tHe Geaman Vores.—The whig corporation are discharging the Irish workmen employed in various parts of the city, and putting Germans in their place, in order to seduce the votes of that portion of the community for their candidates at the ensuing fall and spring election. Pretty fair management this, and will have a powerful in- fluence, if the honest Dutchmen are easily led astray. Cox. Eowarps anv Oris Auten are placed in the same room together at Sing Sing, during working hours. Al- len having previously served an apprenticeship in carpet weaving, has undertaken to instruct Edwards in the art and mystery of the business. Mitchell still continues boss whitewasher. Tux Morais Caprts.—This new company of military, composed of some ofth rif ipl wane of our city, pa- rade this morning, and will be reviewed by the Mayor in the Park at$ o'clock. They then proceed to Jersey city, ona target excursion. Buoxs H1s Axm.—A Mr. Decker fell from one of the Harlem Railroad carson Tuesday night, and broke his arm. He narrowly eseaped the loss of life, asthe cars passed over the track within afew inches of his body. Cartar or tHe Warcu Annestep.—Captain E. Leeeh, of the fifth district watch, was arrested yesterday morn- ing by a warrant issued by Justice Garrett Gilbert, of the upper police, on a ett of misdemeanor, for dis- cl two prisoners placed in his custody by the cit; watch. He was held to bail for the offence, which is distinctly laid down in the statutes of the State. Justice Gilbert has shown by his promptitude in this act, that he is determined to render equal and exact justice to both whigs and democrats. Captain Webb, a democrat, was arrested some time since for a similar offence, and now Captain Leech, who is a whig, is served ditto. A Nroro in a Cuoax.—Pt Hoffman, a black fellow in the service jof Mr. H. Carleton, 42 Warren street, as a servant, took the liberty to steal his master’s cloak, worth about $30, which was found in his possession, and the rogue locked up. Sureenperev.—The man named Owen McIntyre, who was detained at the lower police on Saturday last on sus- picion of his being the person who committed the recent highway robberies in the vicinity of Brooklyn, was deli- vered to the authorities of that city yesterday, and soon after recognized asthe person who shot the colored man who was formerly a servant with Col. Jones of the Fourth Ward Hotel. He appearsto be partially insane.

The unequalled drolleries of Dr. Valentine, the incomprehensible perform- anees of Signor Vivaldi’s mechanical figures, Maelzel’s Chinese fireworks, the dancing of the beautiful Celeste, and the singing of the pretty Miss Hood, form an unusual strong variety of attratcions for 25 cents. ‘The views in the grand cosmorama (the largest in America) are all changed this week. 0g The New York Museum, under its present ener- getic system of management, clearly evinces what may be accomplished by a liberal and enterprising person. ‘This establishment is thronged every night with company.

Pattapetruta, Oct. 26, 1842—4 P.M. ‘There is a barrenness of news to-day, and scarce any thing with which to eke out a letter, except some trivial local gossip. {f, then, I am brief, im- pute itto a want of material. Mr. Solms, of Moyamensing Bank notoriety, and who labors under such a ‘ bad memory” when at Harrisburg, has returned home, and there is some talk of re-opening the Bank again. This institution isin the hands of a set of persons intimately con- nected with the courts, and with court pickings. A brother of Judge K—’s, the President Judge of the Common Pleas, who was a clerk in it, and by the aid of his brother’s patronage in the way of audits, appraisements, &c., joined to other indirect means of infaence, a large amount of the former profits of the bank were made on shaving paper with monies paidinte Court. Such at least isthe common im- pression. At present I should consider it a most un- safe institution; as among the worst of the bad, and as deserving of no public countenance. If any doubt can exist on this point, let the report of the Sharswood Committee of last winter be examined. _ A sale of the most valuable State stocks, by direc- tion of the last Legislature of this State, comes off at the Exchange on the 23d of next month.

When the force and strength of the Tannin is worn out, leather becomes dead, hard, dry, brittle, cracked, covered with a crust, &c. This all know. To restore then life, softness, moistness, strength, smoothness, and remove all crust, fly, or blister—restore the tannin.’ This substance the leather never can receive the second time; but the whole virtues of it are in this article, the Oil of Tannin— which penetrates the stiffest and hardest leather, if it has been twenty years in use ; and if it tears easily with the fingers, it imparts at once a strength that ie utterly in- credible until seen. It becomes like new leather, in all respects, with a delightful softness and polis, and makes sleather completely and perfectly impervious jto wa- ter—particularly boois, shoes, carriage tops, harness, hose, trunks, and in fact all things made of leather a splendid polish, even higher than new leather has, ani at least doubling its wear and durability, in whatever manner the leather is used.

Itook a cold from this cause about two months ago, 1 subsequently fell into the midst of some of my machinery, which seriously injured my breast an: produced a severe hacking cough, ‘was, as I consider-) ed, fast approaching an untimely death. I was attended by two physicians, who considered my case hopeless. 1, however, determined, as a last resort, invaluable Hoarhound Candy, and after wantity, I found almost immediate relief, and using fo-1r irge packages, it restored meto t health.
