Skellinger, 63 Courtlandt street, has been robbed of two overcoats, and other articles of cloth- ing, of the value of $47, but no trace was obtained of the thief until yesterday, when Mr. Luther Skellinger’s sus- picions fell upon a young man named Charles Giles, who boarded in the same house with him, and who had lodged inthe store with him by invitation for a week or two. Mr. S. sent for officer Fream, who arrested Giles, and found all the stolen property in his trunks. The thief was brought to the Police and committed. Tur Two Tromas's.—Yesterday, a young man named Augustus N was arrested by Bird and Tompkins of the U for stealing a gun worth $35, from William Kleim, of No. 11 Greenwich street, and pawning it at Simpson’s in the Bowery; and also for stealing a rifle from the shop of H. A. Fox, No. 12 Christopher street, which was broken open on the night of the 20th Septem. ber, at the time the rifle went off.

Thomas, was sent from the ssions by Judge Lynch, some two weeks since, to the Penitentiary for stealing this very rifle from Mr. him, Fox. Nichols and Thomas are said to bear a close resem- blance toeach other, and as Thomas protested his inno- cence strongly on his hasty trial, it would be well for the magistrates to examine the matter closely. ver Low yesterday arrested a noted pickpocket and arrant, granted by the Recorder, he orgrand laceny.

Campen Races.—The contest between Fashion, the northern nag, and Blue Dick, the present crack horse of the South, came off yesterday afternoon over the Camden course, opposite Philadelphia, for a purse of $2000, four mile heats. The day was beau- tful, such as is rarely seen at this season of the year, aad at an early hour the whole line of road from Camden to the course was covered with vehicles of all sorts, sizes and descriptions, filled with every grade of poor humanity, all rushing forward with in- tense anxiety to witness the third celebrated con- test between Northern and Southern nags in four mile heats. Long previous to the hour of start- ing, the public stands were occupied by thousands of spectators, and every tree that overlooked the course was branchified with living animals, who by shinning, saved the “almighty dollar.” The representation on the club stand,although not prominent for its feminine aspect, still presented striking points inthe ambrosial locks of Nick Bid- dle, the smooth and cunning smile of Thad. Ste vens, who wore the biue badge of the order of the club as though his anti-masonry was not anti to such decoration: hile the plain homespun appear- ance of Commodore Elliott contrasted strongly with the “demme, how do you do’s” of Chesnut street, who were present in large numbers. ‘The veterans of the turf, Col. Johnson, Sammy Laird, Major Jones, Col.Hare,the Stevens’s,the Wetherell’s, Jem my Long, and hundreds of others were conspicuous upon the ground, and all seemed anxious for the fray. The betting was current, two to one on Fashion, before the horses came upon the groord, and it having been rumored that the mare was a little out of sorts, having refused to drink, &c., but few of- fers were made above that rate in the early part of the morning. About two o’clock, the @ty of “ here they come,” was sounded, and necks began to stretch like wild ducks at the snap of an old musket,to see what was coming. The crowd at this time on the stand was tremendous, and as the horses came slowly down the track, the shouts of the noisy part gave zest to the spirited scene about to be presented. ‘Tue Naas both uncovered well, and the opinion that Fashionwas not as she should be, soon lost ground, as she passed down by the mass of hu- } man beings before her. Blue Dick presented a sin- gular contrast to her fawn-like form, and he is cer- tainly a rough one to look at, although arum’un to go. The betting now ranged from 100 to 40, and but few takers. Several bets of 100 even were put up against time,that no heat would be run in7m. 42s, 7m. 4 and several against 7m. 45s., and one as high as 7m. 47s. The time approached, and Gil Patrick, with his scarlet, and Joe Laird, with his blue, were seen pre- paring for the contest. Gil, who rode the horse, car- ried 114 pounds, and Joe 111. ‘The bugle sounds—and Messrs. Hart, the Presi- dent of the Club, Wm. J. Leiper, Secretary, with Capt. John Mickle and 8. D. Segar, Esq. as Judges, are nowon the stand ready to give the word and awake the anxiety of the multitude. Cries of $100 to $80"—** $1000 to $800 on Fashion,” but no takers. Tue Race—20 minutes before two—the riders are up, Jo at the pole, and at the tap of the drum they are off, Fashion on the lead, and the start. All was now excitement, and every neck stretched to see them turn the first corner.— Away they went when Blue Dick passed her as they came down the straight side on the second quarter, when the shouts of the multitude rose aad seemed to urge him onward. =He held his own and kept about a length ahead, shaking his long white tail, as though in defiance of his northern competitor. Down they came at a good rate, going the first mile in1m. 52s., and still holding the same position, both running handsomely, and doing the second in Im. 54s., when the, mare began to urge her pace, and for a few hundred yards closed the gap a little, and nearly lapped him. ‘500 to 400 on the mare”—nobody answers—‘ 50 to 100 on the horse” —ditto, ditto. They kept about the same going ata sharp pace, and passing the judges stand at 5m. 41s. from the start Now comes the contest!— “Go it Fash—go it Dick, you devil you, and take the conceit out of he was the cry. All was ex- pectation, and every was bent upon the gallant s—while an almost breathless silence prevail- ed. “He's got her; yes, he’s got her now,” was the sudden shout, as they passed into the third quar- ter of the last mile. ‘No he aint—yes he has—50 to 100 on the horse,100 to 80 on the mare—by G—d he’s a trump”—and they came round the turn beginning the last quarter, when the intense excitement was at its highest pitch, and all you could hear was * Yes he has, no he ain’t—5 to 15 he has, I'll take it—100 to 80 she wins,” and down the track they came, the earth resounding with their hoofs, the dust flying, and the crowd shouting, when she locked him, and whirled by, amid the huzzas and the cheers of the thousands, winning the heat by little more than a length, while the throats of ‘the northern fancy still screamed with delight. The time, as declared from the judge’s stand, was 7m. 383., but Messrs. Fotte- rel and Toler, who were upon the Club stand, opposite the starting point, and who were select- ed as timing judges, gave 7 37}, and we therefore set the heat dewn at 7m. 37s it being the same as the first heat between Eclipse and Henry in their celebrated race. All the bets against time were lost on the heat, and those who lengthened it to 7.45’ and 7.47 ex- claimed instinctively * ma conscience.” From the fact that the Camden course is consi- dered five or six seconds slower than the Long Island, and that the track was very heavy in cer- tain points on the straight side, the time is consi- dered better thon the heat ran between her and Boston, in the match at the latter course, when de- clared at 7.32h. Seconp Hear.—The horses cooled off well, al- though it was plain to be perceived that Blue Dick was a better three thanafourmile nag. ‘The betting ran 100 to 40, and but few takers; some few dollars wer~ posted against the heat being ran im 7.55, and but little betting otherwise. ‘The trumpet sounded, and they approached the starting poing the mare at a pretty pace, but the horse a bad start. The drum was tapped, however—and off they went, Dick’s rider evidently intending to trail her for a while, at least. She led him from one to three lengths, during the first mile, which was run in 2m. 02, and kept in the same position, with but little variation, for the second, which was done in,1 m. 55s. All eyes were strained, and every mother’s child anxious to see what Dick and his rider intended to do, al- though it wasevident to keen vision that he was doing allhe could to keepihimself within the distance that she felt disposed to place him. His friends said, ‘‘ wait, he’s holding back for a brush on the last quarter of the third,” and so some folks thought, but when they came to the last quarter, although every true sportsman wished that,he might win to break the heats, yet it was then evident by the whisk of Dick’s tail and the cracking of Gil’s whip as well as his spurring of his flanks, that he was at the very top of his steam and could do no more without a burst up. They came round the last turn, Dick going all he knew and Gil rearing in his stirrups to help him all he could, amid the shouts of “Go it Dick,” “Go it Joe,” “Go it GilY—its all. up’—“It can’t be ‘and she shot by the stand but little more than a length ahead, in 7m. 52hs., as declared by the judges. Her second heat at Long Island with Boston was 7m. 45s., and the second in the great Eclipge race was 7m. 49s, She was thus declared the winner of the purse and the head of the turfin this or any other country at the present period.

Johnson's put against her in case Blue drawn for the present. done. at Trenton Cassandra, stable, will be Dick is with- Boston has been tak- eaio Virginia, and is out of condition, and no mis- take. The Secretary of the Long Island Course inform- edus that there would be no second fall meeting over that course this season, and with the Trenton races then will end the fall business. Pickpockets and thieves were never more nume- rous, and several gentlemen were filsched of their silken purses with contents, while gazing at the con- test for the purse of $2000, won by the Northern poney, that can’t be beat. prefix.

It is curious, as evinc- ing the peculiar formation of his mind, and will be perused with interest. The originals, with the exception of the last, ad- dressed to his mother, are written in pencil, ina neat hand, and were delivered by him to a gentle- man on the morning that he left for his ten years gloomy abode. “Is there no gradations in evil? is suspicion to ope- rate like conviction, and to exclude humanity ? and is itimpossible for one accused to procure the privi- leges of humanity? Is it not possible for a man to retain his integrity under accusation ? is there no compassion for the accused? Is there no balm for the writhings of the wounded mind, who feels *tis exposed not to compassion but to curiosity ? To complain isto me hateful and uncongenial, but to complain to the incredulous, the mercenary, the un pitying—to those who debate whether you are a criminal or a madman while they listen to you— must this be borne? And am I nota fellow creature? Tam no gosling, &c. Xe. Like you, I have a dread of persecution and hatred of oppression—a reputa- tion to be blasted—a peace to be destroyed—feel- ings to be wrought to frenzy. Is the human heart to be closed, and the vitals ce humanity sealed, as all such? Must he be outlawed of nature and divested of the rights of being? Is every ear deaf and every heart of iron? Are those cords by which the hu- man race are drawn together to be relaxed and se- vered? Better, far better to killat once ; for this is to die mentally, and yet feel the burdens and sor- rows of the flesh—a deep and utter desolation of soul—a loathing of life, without the knowledge and fear to die, i If I do convince you of my innocence, can you restore me to its purity and its praise— can you restore me to it without suspicion and without reproach? Impossible. He who has once been accused can never gain the estimation of society—can never regain his own confidence and honest pride. Acquitted or not, he ts held in the invisible charge of suspicion for life. The damps and dews of his dungeon form an at- mosphere of repylsion around him forever. The shadow of their walls darkens over him like a curse. The brand impressed he irons red from the furnace of suspicion can never be effaced, and ache at every breath of heaven. No reputation of habit- ual innocence, no actual evidence of universal in- tegrity can protect its victims. A sinele suspicion will dash a man from the height of human excel- lence, to be an object of scorn and execration for his fellow man, a breath from the most abject villain, may blast and destroy the most exalted of mankind. Though unassailable, every where to the view, the most trivial of his motives, the very heel of his mo- ral frame may be reached by the arrow of clandestine malignity, and the wound is mortal. If the gentlemen had lived in the feudal ages and there enjoyed the reputation of a Lin or prophet, barbarians might have taken his empty assertion for gospel; but I take it we live in an age too enlight- ~ened, and that this court, this rary ane this audito- le ry, are too intelligent to be deluded by the bare as- sertion of any man, however imposing. No, you will neither be dazzled by verbiage nor deceived by subtlety. He seeks to supply a deficiency of proof by confidence of aszumption. He has neither pointed out the one or referred to the others I will go beyond him, and as Ihave re- ferred to the one I will now point out the ether of the influences that have been brought to bear and which are avowed and acknowledged by mil- lionares—-men_ who have a sufficiency of money to effect the ruin of any man. The ssliolé press, that greatest engine of modern times, have tried and con- demned me long ago, and held me up to the public gaze, by the accumulation of every image whose fulsomeness could disgust, whose ‘depravity could oflend, or whose heartlessness could terrify. That brightest jewel of the law that holds every man in- nocent until the contrary is shown, has in my case been completely reversed, and I have been de- nounced as a doomed man, and treated as a con- demned one. And has it come to that, that suspi- cion is to operate as conviction and to exclude hu- manity? Is it eee tor one accused to retain his integrity under accusation? Is the human heart to be closed, and the vitals of humanity to be sealed up forever as all such—must he be outlawed of nature and deprived of the right of being—is every ear deaf and every heart of ice—are these cords which bind the human race to be relaxed and severed—can the man_once accused not regain the estimation of society—is he to be held by the invisi- ble chain of suspicion for life—are the damps and drears of his dungeon to form an atmosphere of re- pression around him, and the shadow of its walls to darken over him as a curse forever—is the brand impressed by the irons red from the furnace of sus- picion to remain indellible and never to be effaced? ; REFLECTIONS. Neither dazzled by verbiage nor disconcerted by subtlety. : .. The power of true affection ; it loves not to mix its beams with the summer blaze of joy; to add its note to the chorat song of flattery and pleasure ; it reserves them forthe dark disastrous hours when the accused sufferer looks round on the desert world ; when what he thought he held is wind with- in his grasp; when what he hoped to trust to is a reed under his steps.—Then is the power and hours of strong affection ; then it rushes to him—it grasps him by the cold hand—it speaks words of comfort in his stunned ears—it clings to him with all the strength of being, with power stronger than suffering and death ; itabides the conflict of the dark hour ; and enters the valley of the shadow of death with its companion.—Such is its true nature and power, he such emergencies only realize and develope them. The accumulation of every image whose fulsome- ness could disgust, whose depravity could offend, and whose protaneness could terrify. He seeks to supply a deficiency of proots by con- fidence of assumption.

A wreck of manhood, oppressed, o’ertried, I stand amid a waste; My source of joy has long been dried, And the false friend, to who's ear My every word was once so dear, Now passes me by in haste.

Of Departed Friends, Full many a tear aua many a sigh, We shed, alas ! for those who die, Snatched from us by some cruel doom, Evre youth had ripened into bloom. And wherefore should we bid them stay, ‘To linger on a weary way, Through the false world, where Are shadows vain and transitory Nature her brightest beams hath made Soonest to be o'ercast with shade ; Her sweetest fragrance, too, is given, But to be exhalea and borne to heaven. Better by far their guilt sleep, Than like to wae and weep, As on our pilgrimage we go In sorrow through this world of woe. aaa and glory Friendship and Love, Happiest of Lappy feelings ‘tis to feel Friendship or love for one who can return Affection back, alike through woe or weal, With radiant and unchanging flame to burn. To one so blest, not Fate’s most venomed dart Is felt; with friendship or love to soothe his care He onward goes, with high and happy heart— No gloom can sadden while his friend is there. How vain the gorgeous halls of pride To attempt the sorrows of the heart to quell, Unless true affection should abide, And breathe around her balmy, blessed spell. It is the charm, in solitary hours, When every thought is tinged with sadness, Comes o'er the soul with soothing power, Breathing a chastened tone of gladness. How beautiful the joys of lovers wed, Its adamantine links are severed never ! ‘Though parted oft, yet as loved ones dead, "Tis as memery, that will live forever. Farewell to the Home of my Childhood. Farewell, levely valley, your beauties are bright As the time hallowed visions of childhood’s delight; ‘Thy memories more deeply are traced on my heart, Since fate has decreed that I from thee depart. Farewell to thy green fields, farewell to thy groves, ‘The home of my boyhood, the scene of young loves! Ah! never again shall the future restore Those halycon days, those pleasures of yore. Farewell to thy rippling waters, that run, Now shaded by willows, now bright in the sun, Where oft in my childhood, the summer day long, I've listened in ecstacy to the mocking bird’s soug. Farewell, ye green woodlands, under whose shade, From the sun’s heat at mid-day, so oft I've strayed, Where oft I have linger’d, in solitude blest, ‘Till the Day-God has hidden his face in the west. Farewell, scene of beauty—there brighter may be, But to my eye, Earth’s beauties are nothing to thee. In my dreams, when afar o'er thy green hills Iroam, And ever shall claim only thee as my homi Farewell: what a bright pictured dream is the past! Alas! much too beautiful ever to last. Young hopes are like lover's dreams, bound to decay, As dew from the morning rose passeth away. Last night, when sleepless on my bed, I sighed for the return of morrow, At last soft slumbers sooth’d my head, And lull'd with fair dreams my sorrow. I stood in that arcade retreat— ‘That sweeter spot than any other, Where by moonlight we are to meet, And where we'll live and love together— When rose before my enraptur’d ey: Yourself; and quick as thought I darted With open arms towards you; and with a sigh I wakened; it wasa dream—my glory had departed. There is One, where’er our course we steer, ‘That o'er our path a radiant blessing flings; There is a spot to fond remembrance dear, ‘That to the wanderer’s lonely bosom clings. That one is Mother, who, Of human tife, guar Andas she lulls wild passio: With dreams of bliss our weary way beguiles. When the lone exile treads some distant land,” However high his state, or low his doom, Yet borne by imagination's magic wand, Memory recalls his mother and his home. To me more fair than Eden’s loveliest bowers, My much loved home; that well remembered scene, Where the young heart first felt aftection’s power, VU not forget, though years may interyene. When visions false of wealth or fame allure, Where rival throngs in eager conflict meet, Still to his heart returns those feelings pure, Like tones of distant music calm and sweet. Louisvilte.

Captain Joel Gun, of the Pathfinder, was thus abused, and most severe- ly he answered through the same medium their several accusations, and in the opinion ot many in the most triumphant and victorious manner. Cap- tain Forsyth, of the Fulton, was used rather more harshiy than any other; he was accused of starving his passengers and uselessly putting the ers ashore for the purpose of Keeping them from bee meals. These complaints are very frequent in time of low water, but when it is high compliments of the first order are bestowed upon the same ungrate- ful rascals. Not much improvement either in the times or ours, &c., money. Hawkeye. [Correspondence of the Herald.] Patvapecruta, Friday, Oct. 28, 1842. ‘The anticipated removal of Mr. Montgomery is contradicted by the North American, who says its certainty to the contrary is undoubted. The North American is one of the grandmothers of the press, venerable but weak ; and as the old lady sometimes ventures to see without spectacles, her authority is not of much account. The North American had better stick to its prayer book. Asecond slave case was disposed of in the United States Circuit Court yesterday. It appears that in the year 1841 three slaves belonging to the plaintiffs having escaped, were tracked by their agents to Newport, in this state. One, terrified at the sight of his pursuers, jumped overboard and was drown- ed. The others were secured, but rescued by a mob of ruffians, led on by a few rabid abolitionists. The defendants, an abolition magistrate who refus- ed to interfere, and several others who made them- most conspicuous in the outrage, were cuted.

Bennett :— Now thatthe gay and exciting season is over, and the crowds of beauty, wealth, fashion, and folly, have sought other places for recreation, business, coquetry and rascality, perhaps it will not be amiss to bestow some little attention to politics. Saratoga county contains 800 square miles, or 511,000 acres, is composed of twenty towns witha population of 45,000 inhabitants. The political par- ties are pretty equally balanced, the loco usually preponderating by a majority ef about two hundred votes. Ineach of these parties, the popular voice is stifled by miserable cliques, composed of worth- less Ce eee whe, confident in their riches, boldly trample upon the wishes of the people, and set public opinion at defiance. Atthe recent whig caucus there were two candidates for the nomina- tion of county clerk. Mr.,Booth being one of the clique, and also having the most ehlae of course triurnphed over Mr. Ostrander, though the latter is much the most competent and opular man of the two. Consequently many of the whigs refuse to support Booth, ashe is not their choice, and also charge the Sheriff while travelling through the county in the discharge of his official duties, with having “taken the responsibility” of making state- ments, which while they vary far from truth, are equally to the advantage of Mr. Booth, and preju- dice of Mr. Ostrander. On the other side, the Cramer clique having nominated a very amiable, bot inefficient candidate for Congress, (nephew of Cramer.) A portion of locos swear they will not be “‘ whipped in.” There isbut litt e interest mani- fested in the result of the approaching election; the general opinion seems to be, that it will be won by the locos, f In looking over the Saratoga Sentinel, of the 25th instant, I perceive the editor ina humorous strain, publishes the bans of matrimony between himself and the beau'iful Miss Strover, of Schuylerville Just like him. Corey is eecentric—most great men are. Corey is undoubtedly a man of mettle, pos- sessing talents of the highest order, a mind cast in no ordinary mould—a. bold, pointed, and vigorous writer, with a dispesition and temperament natu- rally adapted to strife, joined with unpar ‘lleled im- pudence, who so well adapted as himself to con- duct a partizan warfare, and through the celumns of apolitical paper to trumpet forth his own intelli- gence, tact, and shrewdness, and brand all others with ignorance and stupidity! Bold, active, robust in frame, with nerves of the firmest texture, no danger can affrizht, nor any accident deprive of self-command. A thorough knowledge and reliance onhisown resources, have ever sufficed to carry him through the torrents of personal and _polltical abuse, as well as ghostly anathemas, unter which a more modest man would have given way Mr. Corey has formerly ‘done the state some service;” but has of late, exchanged the sword for heen, advertised his uniform, and formally retired from all the pride, pomp, and circumstance of war. And now that “Youthful love, warm, blushing, strong, Keen, shivering, shoots his nerves along,” his friends, one and all, rejoice that he has found a girl, whose eyes (to use his own language) beam with love, tenderness and pity; twinkle with fun, frolic and mischief, and heighten up the flash with the immortal part ofits frail tenement—whose countenance is illuminated by virgin innocence and purity, chastened by humility, and happy from the practice of every homely virtue, a heart to feel and a hand to relieve, and bosom to sympatbize with misfortune. : Considerable excitement has existed for afew days past in our usually quiet village, for the simple reason that Alanson Smith, principal of the Saratoga Academy, and deputy superintendent of common schools, has seen fit to unite himself to one of his scholars, a charming young Irish girl, of sweet 15, Smith being about 35. Mr. Smith says he prefers to educate his own wife. Why not? We live in aland of freedom, and permit me to suggest to some of the worthy matrons of Saratoga, that had itbeen their good fortune to have been educated and reared from the age of 15 to 25, by such a man as Mr. Smith, they would have been better off. lam told that several of her acquaintances called to see her during the day (for the news of the mar- riage spread rapidly). She toldthem not to call her Mrs. Smith, for she never would own the name, nor she never would live with him, and I believe that so far she had kept her word, for she has never slept with nor eat with him as yet. She said that they forced her to marry him against her will, and she has no one to help her, or to look to for protection, for her mother is against her. The boys have been out every night with tin horns, passand cow bells, ae and the citizens generally are very indignant at him. Business of all kinds is exceedingly dull.— Religion is expected to improve after the election. Postmaster Ellsworth has of late been so_clear- sighted, as to see the consistency of Capt. Tyler’s course, and views his administration in its proper light. [tis expected, as amatter of course, he will retain his office. Yours, Rotiin. and the Public, Gas Compant Mr. Eprron— 7 Some little time ago, I read a most important article in your paper on this subject, peculiarly in- teresting to gas consumers, amongst whom it has created no little sensation. ‘ As a housekeeper, and burning a great deal of gas,I have been frequently alive to the heavy ex- pense incurred, but I never anticipated I was paying almost four times as much for it as in reason, it seems, I ought to pay. eat It is no wonder that individuals are now be- comiag excessively dissatisfied on this point, and it must be a matter of some moment with the Corpora- tion, if pu saving to such an enormous amount can be legitimately and equitabiy effected. In the name of prudence, let a third or ‘Gas Con- sumer’s Company” be formed coins us without without delay, as the very difference hetween what Tand others now pay, and what we might pay, would willingly be invested in shares, and hundreds of tradesmen in this city similarly situated, would be very glad to join us on the same terms. ; Thave had frequent conversations on this subject with individuals who are large consumers of gas, and the infermation we have conjointly obtaine confirms the statements made by Mr. Kentish. Eight shillings sterling per 1000 feet is what is paid for gasin London. The shareholders receive am- ple dividends; their stock is generally much above par. Why then should we pay fifty-six shillings per 1000 feet tor gas in New York? Coals ure at least as cheap here as there. The gas companies there get coals from the north. Its cost at the pit’s mouth is about five shil- lings per ton. The freight is 11 shillings per ton, duty paid, to the corporation of London, one shil- ling and sixpence per ton, meterage, lighterage, and other expenses, about two {shillings and. sixpence per ton; cost in London about twenty shillings per ton, or 40 shillings of New York currency. The coal which the Manhattan Company uses here cannot cost more than this, but if it does, it can easily be obviated, as we shall shortly see. Eng- lish coal produces, I believe, about 33 per cent 0! ‘as. If we have no bitumenous coal in this Noam that is fit for the purpose, anthracite, rot cate bad better, as it contains at least 80 per cent o! anit fe and the hydrogen necessary to combine with it to form gas, is obtained, I am told, by the decomposi- tion of water in the same, or in a se) aay itcan ‘Afriend of mine has hada good deal of conver- sation with Mr. Kentish on the subject, and this is the plan he oatgred m the produce of the present coal. “it then, re ges 8s. per 1,000 feet ster 16s. New York currency, and still leave pe! Fiatlend what would these dividends not amount to if the same price were charged, and more than double the quantity of gas produced? Another point of consequence gas consumers, is the metres. Ihave frequently doubted the cor- rectness of the one I use, and many entertain the game impression, yet we have no means of ascer- taining the fact. My ordinary consumption ap- peared to me so large, that one quarter, I determined to see what the most careful economy would do; I kept the lights low during the whole three months, and had them extinguished the moment business ceased. I concluded I had made a saving of at least twenty percent. The inspector came, took his nsual memorandum from the metre, 1 got my unt, and to my astonishment, it was some- more than the amount of the previous quarter. Oh! oh! said L, if this be the fraits of economy, in future I will adopt the old course. There is some- thing wrong with some of the meres; at all events (do not stand alone inthis reapeet. Scores make a similar complaint, and are ready to confirm it, publicly, if needful, . Pray assist us with your powerful aid and in- fluence, in this very important matter. ‘The present seneration, as well as posterity, will feel grateful for your services. Our eity will then start into brilliant illumination, like most of cities in the old world wa should we be behind them? Light enough, will thenceforth €ppear at night in our pre- sent gloomy streets, to preserve us from breaking our necks over the innumerable crates, sign-advertise- ments, hogsheads, barrels, bexes, buil ing materi- als, trucks, bags, anchors, cables, and a thousand other things whieh obstruct our path in most of our business thoroughfares, and we shall then be suffi- ciently warned against the projecting stoops, and the wide, open, and cavern-like cellars, which yawn around, and every moment threaten ‘us with annihilation. pes, . The general opinion is, that a should be called on this subject, and that Mr. Ken- tish should be invited to preside, as from thirty-five ean experience in these matters, he must be fami- iar with all the required details. Useful enterprises often fail from incompetent conductors. A Gas Consumsn. ublic ‘meeting Musicat..—Dempster and the Rainers closed their engagement last night at the Society Rooms, with a benefit for the latter. Dempster has had a very successful engagement, and has exchanged a good many notes for specie. He leaves town to-morrow for Philadelphia, and will give a series of concerts in that city. Dempster has just published a new musical work, called the “ Beauties of Vocal Melody,” containing a number of choice English, Irish, and Scottish songs. It isan excellent selection. OG The Manager of the New York Museum evinces a decided determination to sustain the character of his esta- blishment, as the cheapest and most popular place of enter- tainment in the city. He has this week engaged Master Frank Diamond, the celebrated Etheopeain dancer, and Mr. Alden, the bango player and negro melodist ; also Mr. Ryale, the much admired comical dancer; Miss Rosalie is re-engaged ; Mr. Nelles, the wonder of the world, born without arms ; M. Delarue and Mr. Collins appear. Seven performances of decided talent to be seen for one shilling. No wonder the Museum is crowded to excess, with such attractions. QGThe Croton water is doing wonders here. Through the aid of this element, Barnum, ofthe American Museum, brings out this week, an exhibition of the stupenduous Falls of Niagara. The addition of real water produces a. sublime effect, making this one of the most splendid exhi- bitions ofthe day. Dr. Valentine remains ene week more. Signor Vivaldi’s Lilliputian family of eleven performers, accomplish many wonderful feats never equalled, by any human being.

The singular incognito of “ Vally Forge,” to the great detriment of Mr. Whitney, gives rise to many queer speculations among our metaphysical philese- phers. A shrewd porkerin the ‘ Daily Chronicle,” says, that “grim spectres of slaughtered settlers will stalk unbidden before the bewildered senses of Reuben, with the significant cry of beef, beef, beef!’ Such sights and sounds would, no doubt, bewilder the sense of a more courageous man than Reuben. It is singular the quantity of trash, bom- bast and garbage that are hawked about our streets in those vile sheets the ‘‘ Censor,” ‘* Daily Chron- icle,” ‘Paul Pry,” and others of the same class. These filthy publications, who, like obscene birds, batten on corruption, infest every nook and corner of our otherwise clean city, and like our city sewers, seem necessary to carry off tne tide of filth which gathers 1n all Jarge towns; but unlike them, their offal lies festering neath the common ae and our moral atmesphere polluted by t heir oul vapors. Their columns are filled wi pe of low tap- houses, advertisements of bear-bates, anonymous letters, blackening the character of our most respect- able citizens—disgusting details of the lives and adventures of notorious Bogie gamblers, and other outcasts. We find these sheets prin- cipally in the hands of our young men, who read with avidity the fine histories, and search eagerly for directions to taverns, gambling hells, and houses of il] fame; al] of which are conspicuously inserted at high prices, with the shailow pretence of correct- ing abuses. Some of them (the daily Chronicle for instance) under the garb of morality (the most dis- sting form hypocrisy can take) penetrate the wellings of our mechanics, whe.e they may be found like the arch tempter in Eden, breathing their poisonous counsels into the ears of our fair daugh- ters. And yet these are the prints that talk of pub- lic opinion, and its weight breaking down a leading newspaper, curs that never dared to whimper their discontent at its prosperity, now the lion is leaving their neighborhood, venture a bark. Forrest takes a benefit to-night at the Walnut street theatre; his engagement has been a profitable one to the managers. Celeste will make her last appearance tonight at the Chesnut street. The news here is as dull as our town clock, which got theumatic by reason of the cold “snap,” and when clocks get rheumatic, letters are some times too late for the mail.
