On this a reading of the letter was called for, and it was read amid roars of laughter from a large majori- ty of the committee, as follows:— (Private.) -Post OF New You, July 25, To rue How. Cuantes A. Wiex.irr Dean Sin—I feol as it it was about time Ishould post up our political journal to you, (laughter) that you may know of our progress “ pendente lite,” (cries of oh! oh !) and not hear of us and our doings sooner from others than from ourselves. In my last | wrote you about an ill ad- vised meeting, called by some weak brethren (hisses, and laughter, and shouts), at Military Hall, and told you of our intention to take hold of it, and give it’a right direction.— This we only in part accomplished ; for Job Haskell, of charcoal memory, (roars of laughter,) got @ resolution passed to call a meeting inthe Park—whatis called a mass meeting. ‘The Military Hall mecting was called by a self constituted committee, (hisses, and cries of “ what are you ”) calling themselves the Tyler State Central Com- mittee, and notwithstanding every possible exertion, we could not procure them to postpone the Park mass meet> ing, which ended in a regular locofoco meeting, and did the cause no other good than ridding us of the ridiculous abovenamed committee, which after the Park affeir, we procures to be dissolved’ through one of its own members. (Roars of laughter, and cries of “ that’s false.) Last night was the first regular meeting of the City Convention. Nine out ofthe seventeen wards, were fully represented by five delegates each of exactly the right soriofmen. The bone and muscle of the city ; all warm hearted young men—(laughter.) I do not pretend to be strictly accurate, but I think, out ot the forty-five mem- bers, there were not more than three or four holding of fice—(screams of laughter, and cries of “ oh, oh, oh !*)— My advice has been as much as possible to avoid putting them forward—though we do not think it best to forbid ; their joining in—to sustain the Government. With this view,I did not go in as a delegate from the 17th Ward; (laughter and cry of “save my blushes,”) but the were all well Known to me as good men and true; indeed, they could not have been there, had they been otherwise. Friend George has gone in for the Ist Ward; and 1s, of course eminently useful. (Cries of“bah.”) 1 attended the convention, and was highly gratified at the unanimit: and zeal with which its orga) ion was conducted. Major Noah was appointed chairman "Pro hac view,” (grwat laughter, sneers, coughing and cries of “selfap- pointed,”) and the requisite committees appointed. Reports were presented ofthe progress made in other wards; and no doubt was entertained that, on Monday night next,the delegates would be complete from every ward in the city. Could the President have seen the kind of men who are thus enrolling themselves in his support, he might well have felt a pride at the sight. (Cries of doubtful” and laughter.) They were the men who always do up the work in which they engage. ‘They live in the mass, and vhen they move, the portion of the mass in which’ the joves with them.

He will be replied to—opposition will be commenced to his movements, and both parties will doubtless be backed by many who figured at some of the recent prize fights, and who have formed all sorts of clubs ‘Then, it is very probable that the proseribed watch: men will be there, arrayed against Mike and his forces, and then there will be a regular pitched battle ; and, instead of a prize fight between two men, as at Hastings, it willbe a great prize fight on a grand and comprehensive scale, between 200 or 300 menaside. It will be on a wholesale plan—not retail, as between McCoyand Lilly, Such appears to be the aspect of coming events, and active preparations are making for them. Is not this state of things a disgrace to the whole democratic party, and the whole city? We have seen indictments for prize fights between two per sons ; but here is one to be got up ona large scale, in order to decide, by brute force, the merits of the elective franchise. Now, if there is an honest dif- ference of opinion as to the ments of individual candidates, why not act understandingly, and let every man’s opinion be heard, and then decide coolly, without disgracing themselves, disgracing the city, and disgracing the whole country by their brutal exhibitions and riots? Traver rrom New Yorx to New Ortxans.—In consequence of the continual rise and fall of the Ohio, our fine packets are taking all the passengers to New Orleans. There is always an uncertainty in getting down that river, but there is never a mistake in those fast ships the Louisville, Auburn, or Shaks- peare ; the two latter have made the passage in less than twelve days. By land it may cost a person $150, besides much loss of baggage, to getto New Orleans—never less than $100, including a large supply of bother. In a packet the expense is but $50, with plenty of comfort, catspaws, and cheerfulness thrown in. Next Monday the Auburn will sail, un- der the command of Captain Durfey, an experienc- ed navigator. Forcery 1n Bosron.—Forgeries of checks and notes are again getting to be most alarmingly fre- quent. We have had three or four in this city with- ina week. In Pennsylvania recently, two or three female forgers have been detected ; and in Boston they are beginning the same game. Oliver W. Blake was arrested in Boston, Thursday afternoon last, for forging the name of Wm. Whiting to a check on the Merchant’s Bank for $700. Curious Ciaim.—Mr. P. P. F. Degrand, a stock- holder on the Westera Railroad, has put in a claim en the Company for $200,000, as compensation for his services in seeking the assistance of the State by a grant from the Legislature. And yet, just be- thousands, devoted to our caus me the Spring election comes round. le, in some degree, to influence the fall elections ; but while great confidence in our eventual triumph should always be felt, we should not promise ourselves too sudden a controling influence. Indications multiply upon us, of a disposition among the people to break away from party, and go forthe country ; and I was indeed rejoiced at the ‘responce I found to some remarks on the present condition ef things, which I made tosome fifty or sixty, who were collected after the ad. journment of the convention. Our triends at Washington have great cause to feel well ; so far as the city is concerned, the seed is sown on good ground, and will produce a heavy crop. (Laughter and cries of ‘not with you fora farmer.”) Accustomed, as I have been, to political life for twenty years, I have never seen such a willingness manitested to go forward in the cause of the country, irrespective of party. Iam well aware that it will seem like magic, ere very long, to see the progress that will be made. But what may not be ex- pected from a city in which itis now oasted that “ there are not ten Tyler men,” by the madmen of the “club” footed race, When, in a week from the day you will re- ceive this, you will hear of the assembling of a Cit vention, composed of eighty-five men who may challenge either party to produce their equals; for there will be neither a ragged, (*) nora rutied shirt among them. (Roars of laughter aud cries of “ How’s your shirt, Fish- er.”) Tam to expect much abuse from the Federal Whigs,but they cannot state a fact to my prejudice, and [am prepared for all and every thing they may choose to utter.

P. $.—A line, however short, from you, by way of en- couragement, is at any, and all times useful—as it gives new strength and vigor to expend in the cause. The Union has already a circulation of 3000, which is increasing. (Cries of why not as well say 300,000.) I have heard inquiry made, now the press is established, when the order will be given, in due form, to give it the printing of Post Office blanks (laughter and er, “give the baby some pap”) which still go,as formerly to the Express, or rather to Townsend &.Brooks. ‘The Postmaster proba- bly waits direct orders on the subject. (Laughter) I write this, however, without any authority on my own motion. You well know what ought to be done, and will excuse my making mention of it. After the letter was read, Mr. Mather, of the 16th ward, one of the Vice Presidents, said that the part of the letter relating to the dissolution of the Cen- tral Committee was false in every particular; that the Committee was not dissolved through the influ- ence of Redwood Fisher, or any officer in any way connected with the General Government, and that Redwood Fisher’s allusions to “weak brethren” were false and scandalous. fall back ! itis your fate to jamp up two feet, an | t by their The whigs io this Su in New York city.

It is a most complicated, shrewd and cu- rious movement, and will most probably be success ful. Under the amusing mask of supporting Captain lyler against the ultra whigs, the triends of Gene- ral Scott are taking the most effectual means of opening the way for his nomination, by destroying tus do the abolitionists play a very curiousjgame es, and will probably give a new turn to po- ical movements hereafter. Atthis stage of the game Noah rose and under- took to explain: he said there was nothing particu- lar in the letter that Redwood Fisher need be ashamed of, with one or two exceptions; true, it Was not necessary or prudent that members of the Committee should expose or publish their transac- tions to the world. But any member was perfectly justifiable in forwarding to the President any docu- ments or statements, in order to inform him what they were doing in this city. This letter, he said, was left on the table of Mr Wickliffe, and stolen by apainter who was at work in the house. Copies of it were sent to the Globe, the National Intelligen- cer, and several of the Philadelphia papers, all of whom refused to publish it, and it final ly was pub- lished in a Peansytvania country paper. Redwood Fisher then rose and said, the letter was either stolen or a torgery—he wouldn’t say which ; andthe receiver was as bad as the thief. Dr. Bailey of the Lith ward, then rose and accus- ed Fisher of misrepresentation aud falsehood ; that his ridiculous letter was calculated to bring the mem- bers of the Committee into contempt,and that he de- served censure for it. Fisher then rose, dreadfully excited, and exclaim- ed in his loudest screaming tones ‘By G—d I'll knock you down, sir; you're ad—d scoundrel,” and picking up an inkstand, he was about to suit the action to the word, and made extensive prepara- tions to pitch the inkstand at the head of Bailey, who remained perfectly calm and still. The mem- bers interfered and made Fisher sit down and put down the inkstand. He then rose again and offer ed his resignation. On this, some one of the chaps connected with the clique of Noah and Fisher, ob- jected to receiving his resignation ; inasmuch as he Was not a member of the committee when he wrote the letter, and that therefore they had no control over his conduct at that time; and on account of this quibble, his resignation was not received; to the great delight of Fisher, and to the mortification of every honest and decent member of that Com- mittee, After these amusing disclosures, we suppose the President and his friends will be able to estimate the influence of this mercenary clique of beggars, headed by Noah & Co. By tales represent ations they have procured the printing of the Post Office, which is given to one Applegate, and the profits di vided between Noah ind Beach. Why not give it to respectable printers, instead of such miserable hacks? Why retain such men in office as Redwood Fisher and Paul George ? Sin Joun Canpweut’s Deara was very sudden and singular. He retired to bed at midnight in ex- cellent health. Ata quarter before five next morn- ing he rung his bell—at five minutes past five he was @ corpse. He was buried yesterday—the services performed by the Bishop of Newfoundland, who delayed his departure for that purpose. SINGULAR Escare rrom Dearn.—Aa interesting daughter of Col. Sylvester Bourne, of East Fal- mouth, Mass., of about five years of age, while playing nearher fathers well, (which is stoned,) leaned upon the windlass, which suddenly turned, and carried her over upon it, from which she was precipitated, head foremost, into the well, a dis tance of more than thirty-five feet! She was im- mediately discovered by her father, who descended the fearful depth, with the expectation of finding his child a mangled corpse. His joy was unspeakable, wheh he found her alive and not materially injured, fore this road gota grant from the Legislature, the same body made a loan to the Norwich Railroad of $400,000. Exection tx Inprana.—The special election held in Indiana for a State Senator, has resulted in the election of the Whig candidate, Defrees, by a large majority. ‘This ties the Legislature on joint ballot. There are two more special elections to be held in place of two democratic representatives who have died since their election. Wnuo Kxowera tue Hour Mr. Miles Morgan of West Stockbridge, aged sixty-four, who retired in good health, was found dead in his bed on Sun- day morning before last. Curious Deatus—We have recorded many Strange deaths lately. Here isanother. Mr. Joseph Anthony, of Portsmouth, R. I., on Saturday after- noon last, slipped frem a stack of butts, which he was covering to protect from the weather, and struck the lower part of his abdomen on the end of the ha(t of a pitchfork, which was standirg against the stack, and which passed into his bowels to the extent of fourteen inches. Finst Fruits or tae Treatry.—The “Bangor Whig” states that a number of the citizens of Maine are making preparations to engage in the lumber business on the Aroostook and Fish Rivers, this winter. This movement is attributable to the free navigation of the St. Johns River, secured by the re- cent treaty between Great Britain and this‘country. Connecticut LecisLature.—This Legislature has districted the State, and passed a resolution instruct- ing the Connecticut Members of Congress to vote for paying Gen. Jackson the fine of $1000, with in- terest for 27 years. New Jersey Lecisuature.—This body was to have met yesterday and chosen a Governor, U.S. Senator, and State Senators. Tueareicats.—The Park closes te night,and on Monday night brings out ‘“‘ Moses in Egypt,” with a number of vocalists. The Chatham has brought out some very excellent new dram: Niblo still keeps open, and is still crowded. In Boston, ‘both theatres are doing a good busi- ness. In Philadelphia, Celeste has drawn crowded houses, and injured the engagement of Ferrest at the Walnut. Braham and his son have given their farewell concert at Kingston. Nagel is in Buflalo. Fasuionante Movements.—Biehop Hughes is preaching at Rochester. Col. Dick Johnson is at Elinira. Iuunois Lanps.—We call attention to the adver- tisement of Mr. Frederick Taylor, of 20 Wall street. He has been many years Secretary of the Illinois Land Co., and is going to Illinois in two weeks to settle claims, titles, locations, &c., relative to the fertile landsin that region. He isa very competent man. Maenerrism propucep ny Suavinc Soar.—Those who wish to enjoy a delightful sensation in shaving, should call in at Sinclair's, 100 Nassau street, oppo- site the “ Herald Buildings,” and purchase some of Ring’s Verbena Cream, of which he is the proprie- tor. With either warm or cold water it produces a fine aromatic lather, white as snow, and with the aid of one of Jem Grant’s razors, the beard is re- moved as if by magnetism. It is the best shaving soap in the city. Concert—Mr. Dempster and the Messrs. Rainers give another of their delightful concerts to-night at the Rutger’s Institute. They are vocalists that al- ways delight their hearers. H. M. Frigate Srartan.—This vessel was an- nounced to sail from Boston on Thursday last. Marytanp U. 8. Sexaror.—Ex-Governor Gray- son will probably be elected. Tur Tennessee Lecistarure has not yet dis- tricted the State, or appointed U. S, Senators. Sreamsurr Barrannta will leave Boston on Tues- day for Halifax and Liverpool. Rive’s Verena Cream.—The public should know that Mr. Rang has again fallen back upon the manufacture and sale of this famous shaving soap. He had made one fortune with it, and he may make another, if ae will stick to it. Of its virtues the public need no information. Nipro’s.— This is the last night but one of the season, and set apart for the benefit of the New York Ladies’ Depository. More need hardly, be written, as we feel assured the mere anneuncement will fill the saloon. Mr. Niblo gives the saloon, and the Ravels their services, gratuitously—let us see what the public will do to aid the widow and the fatherless. “ Mazulme” and “ Ellen,” two of the best pantomimes ever produced, are given for the last time, See the advertisement, ‘and two of her men died. VEMENTS OF THE U. 8. ADRONSETTLEMENT OF THE DiFFICULTY WITH Tangiers.—By the Emblem, from Cadiz, whieh ar- rived yesterday, we have received the following in- teresting intelligence from that part of the world :— U. S. Smr ger ti . Capiz, Sept. 10, 1842. Another opportunity of writing has again offered, by the American ship “ Emblem,” bound to New York. We safely arrived here on the 5th from Tan- gier, aftera beautiful run of six hours, having left the Commodore with the * Congress” at that place. Upon our arrival at this place we were put in qua- rantine for four days, and having rode it ou we were admitted to free pratique. My last letter to you was from Malaga, in which J stated the arrival of the “ Congress” upon this station. She is a beau- tiful vessel, and a fine specimen of naval architec- ture; her re qualities are excellent, and suf- fice to say, she beatsus * all hollow.” ‘The Com- modore is much pleased with her, and from what I can learn, he intends to make her the flag ship; _and since our arrival we have learned by a steamer from Algesiras that the Commodore arrived at Gibraltar on the 6th, and was to sail upon the next day for Mahon, having finally brought to a close the diffi- culty at Tangier, We 1emain here until the 17th, and from this place we go to Marseilles, stopping upon our passage at Gibraltar, from thence we pro- ceed without delay to Mahon, for the purpose of refitting ship, and laying up for the winter. Much cruising has been anticipated; however, all thoughts upon that subject are now abandoned Many of our officers have obtained leave to visit Seville, (a very old and celebrated city, not far distant from this place,) until the time of our departure ; it was my intention to have gone also, but I_ must content myself with remaining on board, and cheer oer up with hope of revisiting “ Fair Cadiz,” as Lord Byronsays. ‘The season for bull fights is over, and Ishall be deprived of the pleasure of being a specta- tor to so barbarous an amusement. As for a de- scription of this place, | shall be uader the painful necessity of deferring my ideas upon the subject until a more favorable ‘opportunity occurs, or in other words, until I go on shore; for having the re- lief to-day and deck duty to-morrow, I have had the pleasure of remaining on board. Considerable ex: citement prevails here, owing to the murder of the Governor of the province, He was found in an open field lying dead, with two pistols near him, some distance from this city. Strong suspicion is rested upon the officers ot the French squadron, who got under weigh,and went 10 sea this morningat day- light. Last evening the mob on shore collected round the house of a printer, and demolished it entirely. Nothing can exceed the excitement that now pre- vails; how it will terminate there is no telling. here is no news of importance scarcely at all. Yesterday morning an American ship, whose name {did not learn, arrived from New Orleans, and scarcely had her anchor dropped, than her captain he was immediately put in quarantine, and this being a very unsafe har- bor to lay in at this season of the year, she got under weigh and went to sea, intending to go to Mahon. Yellow fever she is supposed to have on board; besides she is short of water and has three of her men sick. Sees and crew attached to the Fairfield all well. Wm. F. Lynch, Lt. Commanding.

To tae Eprror or Tue Hera In your leading article of jFriday, you advert to the production at the Park Theatre of the new sacred drama of the “ Israelites in Egypt,” and call the event a new era in the modern stage, as combining the religious feeling with the fascination of music, and the gorgeous display of scenery and dresses. It does, indeed, bring to mind those early days of the world, when the stage went hand in hand with religion, and was its most powerful aid; when the profession of actor was honored in proportion to its mental acquirements, not as it now is, a badge of disgrace. There have been many causes acting through a long period of time, winch, have produce this great change in the estimation in which actors are held; but none more powerful nor more degra- ding, than the modern practice of appropriating a patton of the theatre for the accommodation of in- jous women—making the theatre, which should be a temple tor refined amusement and instruction, an assignation house, aconvenience forthose whose presence is pollution. How can actors or managers expect that their profession will be treated with that respect certainly due to their intellectual efforts, while this practice continues? How can Mr Simp- son expect to be rewarded by the patronage of fami- lies, while he thus opens his theatre for the basest purposes? Look at the inconsistency of the produc- tion of a sacred drama in a temple iebied to the harlot! Mr. Stmpsost Complaik of the want of patronage, of the decline in the taste for the drama. Let him seek in his own management of the theatre the cause. The taste for the drama is strong in this community, and as improved and refined, as strong. It has gone beyond and above the capacity of the actors and the managers who minister to it. It is not satisfied with ballet-dancing, with tinselled dra- mas, or scenic comedies ; nor with the miserable inefficiency of the thease company. It requires good, sound plays of the old, and some of the new authors, well played—not only in the principal but throughout, so as to present a perfect whole. Let these requirements be met—abolish the third tier—make the theatre respectable—let it no longer be a disgrace to the profession and the professors, the city, and society in general. It is the deliberate opinion of many of the most enlightened and ardent lovers of the drama, that it would be better to have all theatres closed, than to have them open as they are now managed. _ We call on Mr. Simpson to make the first move- ment towards regenerating the stage, by abolishing the “third tier.” Will he do it? Has he honesty, firmness enough? And what is more, perhaps, to the point, has he sufficient discernment as to his own true interest ?, Let him look at the success of Mr. Niblo, who has carefully aveided this error. H. Texas Bonds, New York, Sept. 26, 1842. J.G. Bennett, Esq. Sin—If the Mexican Government should bom- bard Galveston, and burn a house containing a box of mine, in which there are Texan bonds, value $20,000, or bonds purporting to be of that_valne, shall T have a claim fcr them on the Mexican Govern- ment, through the agency of the administration at Washington? 1f you think I should, would you ad- vise me to double the amount?

I can assure your Excellency that mine are in perfect accordance with these, and that during the jeriod of ray stay in this country, asthe Representative of my Nation, I will omit no endeavor to consolidate she crendabip between the two nations, which by their political importance, in this hemisphere, by the similarity of their institutions, and for other rea- sons, no less worthy to be consipered, but which it would take much time to enumerate, are called to remain in a state of constant amity, and good understanding with each other, not only for the promotion of their reciprocal welfare, but also from the fact that they are the protectors and perpetuators of true Republican principles, inthe vast American Continent. | May Providence favor my desires!” To which the President replied as follows :— “Tt aflerds me pleasure to receive you as the re- presentative of the Mexican Republic, and nothing will be wanting on my pan, compatible with the honor of the United States, to encourage that friend- ly feeling between the two countries, which you re- present to be the chief object of your mission.

Thisenraged Leary, who left the house, vowing vengeance against his companion, who quietly went to sleep at atable. Leary returned in a short time, armed with a stout club, approached the sleeping man, and struck him several heavy blows across the head, which fractured his skull and rendered him insensible. The wounded man was taken to his home, at No.7 Can- non street, where Drs. Smith and Dunnel were called in and trephined his skull, yet they were of opinion last evening that there was but a small prospect of his recove- ry.

Two barrels had been hoisted up between the third and fourth stories, when the “ mousing of the main hook broke,” and they fell to the first floor, striking down an Irish laborer named John Ruddy, who was standing under the hatch- way, lacerating and bruising his chest and left side in a shocking manner. Ruddy was conveyed to the City hospital, where he died in three-quarters ofan hour after U ais admission; in spite of the excellent medical attend. nee he received. Smac.

Tom being small, but old, laid as quiet as an old fisherman off Sandy Hook, uutil Pete had worked one of his grabbers into his pocket, when he suddenly gave him a twist and a turn, with “Ha! I’ve you now,” and so he had, for Pete was taken to the ‘ombs, but escaped, on the pea his attempted sufferer had nae of value in dun. nage. Flats, look out, as Pete is always ready.

There was quite adisposition to get clear of this stock. The new Présifent, Mr. Law, is highly spoken of as an efficient gad, able manager, and it is doubtless owing to his srtions that the + company yet holds together, but it is a hopeless task to endeavor to make any thing of 14 miles of a road, which, with capital and debt, cost $1,850,000, and has but one end, no credit,and depend- ing upon exteriding its length to bring its ultimate rev ceipts up to its necessary expense; and is in so delapi- dated con: as tobe scarcely in a working state— We all to this state of the road because the bu- sinesdand’bgoperty of the city of New York ix going to ruin. for wamt.of a communication with the in- terior, while is getting rich at our expense.— ‘The enormous extravagance and mismanagement of the Harlem Road, has been one cause that New York is with- out a Railroad. ‘The company, the Erie Railroad, and the Harlem company have for years been amusing the public with the idea that they are going to open the com- munication, The Harlem company still keeps up the pre- tence.
