NEW YORK HERALD. New York, Thursday, November 3, 1842. GREAT PROJECT POR THE Advancement of Morals, Religion and Civilization. BANKRUPTCY AND FINAL EXPLOSION or THE NEW YORK HERALD ABLISHMENT. Day of Judgn at Approaching, rsigned, not having been able to find any cap- italist in these hard times, in possession of $150,000 in ready y, the sum required to purchase this establishment, hascome to the resolution to break at ence—to take the benefit ofthe bankrupt law—to run away with as much money as he can—and then to carry out the valuable financial and moral principles of the present enlightened era of the world, as far and as fast as he can He, therefore, respectfully calls upon all those persons to whom he is indebted, not to call upon him for any more money—the honest bankrupt law will pay them all in due time. There is no use any longer to pay debts, such acts only create jealousy and dislike among respectable people. Also, according to the Rev. Mr. Miller, who opens his tent this day in Newark, the day of ju!gment is set down for the 23d ef April next. This awful approaching event is also another motive for the undersigned to become a highly respectable bankrupt, and to cheat as much in as little time as he can, so as to acquire the esteem and con- siderati »f the financial and fashionable classes of socie- ty, and also the good will of the newspaper press, who are nerally bankrupt too. Yesterday it was reported in Wall street that the paper of theundersigned was protested by the banks and bro- kers ef that avenue of public and private virtue. This is too true. ‘The paper of the undersigned has been protest- ed by these persons and corporations for nearly seven years—and he has come to the resolution to break and take the benefitof the act,as the best and wisest thing he can do in acquiring their esteem and confidence. The undersigned, like Napoleen, whom he resembles in the magnitude of his ambition, and the extent of his resources, has at last been conquered in the field of Waterloo, and should the Rey. Mr. Miller have made a miscalculation about the day of judgment, the undersigned has resolyed to retire to Coney Island, and henceforth to make that his ! St. Helena for the rest of his natural life. In the mean time, until the undersigned shall have got his certificate of bankruptcy, or positively run way with $1,260,000 of somebody's funds, or till the day of judgment be set down for certain, he begs leave to say that the following periodicals are issued at his oftice— viz — Darwy Henato—Published every day of the year, except New Year’s Day and Fourth of July—two cents per copy —or $7,26 per annum—cash in advance. Weexty Henato—Published every Saturday—6} cents per copy, or $3,12} per annum—cash in advance. New Youk Laxerr—Published every Saturday—price 12} cents per copy, or $6,00 per annum—cash in ad- vance.

Tue Prockepines or tHe American Institute Fain Fon 1342—price 6} cents. Besides these, al other periodicals are in prepara- tion, which will be announced in due time. Advertisers throughout the city and country are also informed that the aggregate circulation of the Henaxp is THIRTY THOUSAND, being greater than that of any other newspaper in the world, and, therefore, it is a better vehicle for giving publicity to their business notices than all the others in New York put together. Prices of adver- tising are also moderate—but invariably cash in advance cash in advance—cash in advance.

Singular Intrigues and Movements of the Abolition: Religion, Politics, Trade, and Every Thing—Astounding Explosion in Penn Yan, Yates County. A tew days ago, a large number of the most re- spectable r erchants in this city,received from Penn Yan, the capital of Yates County, New York, a singular Cincutar, which has caused a great deal of conversation, surprise, and wonder, as to its causes and consequences. The following is a copy, which has been put into our possession for publica- tion To THe Mencuants or THe Crry or New York :— Th dersigned, Merchants of the village of Penn rned with astonishment and anding of one of our most subs ioned business men, has been assailed by ts derive all their consequence from ub-agent to Mr. Lewis Tappan, desi one whose state! his appointment as to present to the merchants of New York a few consi tions that seem to grow legitimately out of the ath: led to. While we recognize the right of creditors to employ all honorable means to ascertain the business, character and condition of their debtors, we respectfully protest against any system of espoinage that shall place ‘our credit at the disposal of an Agent who is himself near- ly destitute of credit in the community in which he resides. The credit of business men is of a nature too delicate to sustain secret representations, unless made by those who are above the sway of personal and partizan feelings, and the suspicion of uahonorable motives and designs. The selection of the particular merchant, whose grievance draws forth this communication, is evidence amounting to demonstration in the minds of this community, that feelings discreditable to human nature, and utterly unfit to find place in the bosom of an honoroble man, have die- tated the attempt to blast and ruin one whose moral char- acter and business habits, and capital, entitle him tothe most undoubted confidence of all with whom he has com- mercial intercourse. In view of these facts, we respect: vise the withdrawal of your confidence and busi- atronage from Alvin Winants, who now stands d by the Grand Jury of the county in whieh he , for a gross fraud practiced upon the Supreme Co irt of this State city of goods upon time, to country merchan mand for your security the appointment of agents to report the standing of your customers, we ask 4s a matter of justice to ourselves, the selection for Penn Yan ofan individual whose own character would aftord some guarantee of the truth of his statements.

Pexw Yan, Yates Co., Oct. 29, 1842. “Lewis Tappan,” Lewis Tappan”—“ the sub- agent of Lewis Tappan.” To those acquainted with the peculiar occupation of Lewis Tappan in commercial matters, this circular will be at once un- derstood—to the public at large it must be explained. We shall, therefore, proceed in this purpose with dignity and moderation. It will be recollected that in the course of las spring, a correspondence appeared in the “ New York Express,” disclosing the existence of a very extensive system of commercial police, or mercantile been rather prematurely developed in the very re- markable Circular, issued and signed by the princi- pal merchants of Penn Yan. According to the information we have received, it appears that Mr. Henry Bradley, a very respectable merchant in Penn Yan, and a strict abolitionist (be- ing now a candidate for the State Senate,) was the first agent of Lewis Tappen in his vast establish- ment. Aftera short time, Mr. Bradley, having re- ived promotion in the movement, was succeeded by Alvin Winants, a young lawyer of considerable talent, great shrewdness andstrong ambition. Un- der the agency of Mr. Winants, the establishment of Mr. Tappan in New York kept pace with its vast and wonderful march throughout the country. The character, standing, politics, and responsibility of all the merchants in Penn Yan were carefully re- ported, and one of the astounding eflects of this sys- tem, was the failure or prostration of the following merckants in Penn Yan; which have all taken place during the last year :— F. M. & P. Potter, D. L. Bissell, Millard & Ayres, Stewart & Herkimer, R. Scofield, Samuel H. Breck, W.H. & F. H. Purdy. But it didnot stophere. Ia addition to this result it appears that it began to wither the most responsi- ble and stable. Another merchant of Penn Yan allu- ded to in the cireular, whose name is Jones we be- lieve,came to this city to buy goods, and to his asto- nishment he found every avenue of credit closed to him, by some secret spell or influence beyond his reach, although he was well known to possess ample means. He returned to Pen Yan,and on ageneral in- vestigation of the affair by the merchants there, the discovery was made,and the explosion took place as we find it recorded in the Circular which we this day publish. # But this is not all the’strange developements of this vast machine, In December last year, a letter, dated at Penn Yan, appeared in the New York Herald, commenting on the defective commercial and credit system of Penn Yan, but mentioning no names, and only describing a system of business that has been common to almost every town in the west. In addiuon to this, some allusion was made in the same letter to a religious society, alleging that itwas prone to abolition. At the next term of the Court of Sessions of that county, this subject was taken up, and although no individual was ever alluded to or named, the New York Herald was in- | dicted for libelling the whole community of Penn Yan—and also for charging a religious society with abolition, that being also considered by the Grand Jury a libel, according to the law and gospel of that region. We have since learned, that this most strange, absurd, and unheard of indictment, for merely publishing a general commentary on the par- ticular defects and probable results of a false system of trade, and also of imputing abolition to a reli- gious society—we have since learned that this won- derful indictment, was procured by the secret opera- tion and secret agencies of the vast establishment organised by Lewis Tappan in New York, to ope- rate throughout the whole Union, and to make or break men in its advances to political, religious, or commercial power. And there is every reason to believe that this indictment, so procured, was ef- febted for the purpose of covering up the projects of the abolition conspirators, and to enable them to proceed unmolested in their system of espionage on the commerce of the country at large. We have heard of the Holy Inquisition in Spain and other Catholic countries, but the new Aboli- tion Inquisition now organized in New York, which produces as if by magic, failures, bankruptey, nomi- nations, indictments, as far surpasses its predeces- sor, as the light and knowledge of the present age exceeds the darkest period of the middle ages. Such is only a sample of the ambition, power, and comprehensiveness ot the abolitionists in this coun- try. We have already seen the result of their open political organization in Ohio—but their secret ma- chinations in trade, in religion, in finance, in law, in gratifying their avarice, ambition, or vengeance, can only be developed by such chance and accident as have just exposed their operations in Penn Yan. The same set of secret, dark, midnight conspirators, are now in the field, operating night and day to ad- vance their objects, and to get possession of the government, of religion, of trade, of finance, of the administration of justice—and to erectjin this free land one of the most frightful iron despotisms that ever crimsoned the world with the blood of human victims. Their calculations are made, and in this State the following shows the great increase of the abolition votes in 1841 over 1840 ;— Senate Districts. 1840. erazeene 5,940 According to the same ratio of increase, the abo- litionists calculate their votes in the State as fol- lows :— In 1842,, « 12,000 “ 1843, + 24,000 1844, « 48,000 1845, « 96,000 After 1846, they mate their strength will amount to a majority of all the votes of the State. This is a startling state of things in prospect, and will make both democrats and whigs, merchants and traders, and men of every hue in religion and politics, tremble to their very heart. MIsMANAGEMENT IN THE New York Post Orrice. —We hear of many complaints of the derangement and mismanagement in the New York Post Office, which we think should be set right by the Presi- dent, or the Postmaster General. The last, is as follows from the “ Philadelphia Chronicle” :— “ We are indebted to the N. York Herald for a slip, con- taining foreign intelligence by the Ville de Lyon. | The slip should have been received by us Sunday night, but the fault was not at the Herald office. Where then ? Why, the New York Post Office.” These slips were put into the post office by our clerk more than three hours before the mails left this city, yet they were not sent off till the day after. Under the management of Mr. Coddington, such negligence never took place. By this delay in the post office, important news from England was de- layed one day from reaching the principal cities of the south. When Mr, Coddington was postmaster, we have known the bags opened on the verge of going off, and slips of news put in, merely to sub- serve the public. But this is not all. We know of many letters mailed here, that have been lost or mislaid by some negligence, and we shall give a full account soon The New York post office is a.more important espoinage, the centre of which was in New York, and its agencies every where, professing to collect accounts, and information relative to the reputation, standing, property, polities, religion, family aflairs, and responsibility of every commercial and business man, in every town throughout the U. States. It ap- peared further, that Mr. Lewis Tappan, a well known abolition gentleman of this city, was the founder or originator of this singular system, and it has been said that the expenses of this new police have been defrayed by subscriptions of $20 for each person wishing information, which would give, for 5000 subscribers, throughout the United States, an aggregate revenue of $100,000 per annum, or $200, OW) for 1000 subscribers, to remunerate Mr. Tappan branch of the government than even the Geseral Post Office, and if its employés are engaged in the silly task of organizing a party, and ot makizg fools of themselves in Military Hall or elsewhere, as ap- pears in the case of Redwood Fisher, we can ex- pect nothing else but neglect, blunder, waste, and ultimate defalcation and disgrace, in the present set of officers. We trust that the Postmaster General will keep a sharp eye on his subordinates. The independent press will give a generous and manly support to the great national measures and policy of the President, who is honest and patriotic, whatever the ultras of both factions may say, but the folly, negligence, and tricks of office-holders from Secretaries down to and his agent The organization of such a system would, of itselt, be a very profitable financial measure—but when, to this immense revenue, we add the power pos- sessed, through their agents, of turning the charac- ter, jealousies, fears, or rivalries of tne various busi- ness men in every part of the country, to a profitable account, it would seem to rise to a magnificence equal to any thing that ever was attempted in the world. Asan engine of political or religious power —or of oppression—or of any design, it would be without a rival in the annals of the most depotie go- vernment that ever existed One of the first fruits, of this secret fsystem, has Collectors, Postmasters, or tidewaiters,will never be tolerated for a moment. Exrra Henatn.—One will probably be issued Two Dean Fisa—Mixe Watsu ann Tom Carr. —Perhaps the resu't of the late County Meeting at Tammany Hall is as favorable for the locotocos as it could have been under the circumstances. The consequence of striking off Vandyke and putting on Mike Walsh will be, that neither of them will be elected ; but the highest candidate on the whig ticket will be chosen as one of the thirteen; unless indeed there is a universal scratching of Mike Walsh’s name, and the insertion of Vandyke’s. This movement will go far to destroy Mike Walsh’s political influence in this city. He is be- fore the people, and if not elected now he never can be ; and will float down the stream of politics any thing bata live fish. And perhapsafter all,this would be the best thing that could happen. He is young,ac- tive, strong, and a good engraver ; he has no tact for a newspaper writer, or for political movements ; his speeches seem run out, if we may judge from that of Tuesday night, which was flat, flat, flat. His discourse relates to himself, and the notoriety which he has obtained solely through the newspapers. Now, we would advise him, if defeated, to give up politics and stick to his trade. He nas noto- riety enough to satisfy the most ambitious; and he can get as much work as he wantsto do.— He will be much happier and more respected than in frittering away his time as a politician. — So we may say to Tom Carr; he had notoriety enough, before he went to Tangier, and subse- quently, and the best thing he can do is to go back to his trade. He is a good bookbinder, Mike is a good engraver ; let them each stick to their trades, and they willdie richer, happier, wiser, and more respected than all the miserable politicians that ever lived. Tue Government AGENT To Derect SMvGcLinG. What isthe reason that the agent of the Treasury Department, appointed to detect smuggling on the frontier, lingers in this city, playing billiards at Field’s and other places, instead of proceeding to the frontier, and playing his nine pins against the smugglers of Canada? We do not believe that President Tyler ever in. tended this appointment to be a sinecure—and we make this inquiry thus publicly, in order that he may see and correct the delay. We shall ever give John Tyler a dignified and proper support on all his wise measures—but office holders ought to receive no particular mercy at the hands of an independent press, when they neglecttheir public duties. Auno.ition Nomrnations-—Yesterday the aboli- tionists agreed to support the following ticket at the ensuing election in this city. They expect to take 1000 to 1500 votes. This will affect the result next Tuesday very materially :— For Governor. ALVAN STEWART. For Lie CHARLES'O. OHEFARD, For Senator. James Warner. For Congress. James Kennepy, | 8rd district. Seymour W: Ean E. Mi For Register. Raven Hunt. For Assembly. Benjamin Wooster, James E. H. Wallin, Thomas Ritter, Henry R. Piercy, Daniel H. Sands, George R. Barker, William Tracy. Leonard Gibbs, George I. Mankin, John W. Hill, Rufus F. Hibbard, Anthony Lane, George W. Rose, RervpiaTion 1 Lrrrte—Mrrcuru., X-AGENT OF ‘rut Heratp 1n New Haven.—David Mitchell, for- merly the agent for the Herald in New Haven, could not resist the spirit of the age, so he has be- come a repudiater to the extent of nearly $400. Ever since we established! the Herald, and till re- cently, this Mitchell paid his bills honorably and promptly. He was one of the few agents that we ever trusted—and we had such an opinion of his honesty and integrity, that we would have trusted him with our life. Alas! for the effects of bad ex- ample, and the spirit of this age! The practice of Mississippi and other States—the conduct of Boor- man & Johnston, and such like great men, are be- ginning te descend to small traders aud agents in the moderate ranks of life. The same cool impu- dence, the same close reasoning distinguish both. David Mitchell, after writing us a pamphlet of very eloquent letters, on the necessity of not paying his debts to us—had the sublime coolness to come to New York with hia ‘ pocket full of rocks”—to en- ter our office, and to remonstrate with us for the unheard of impudence of refusing to give him more credit. He even wanted to make a bargain—and to buy our agency in future, with the proceeds of our own property. He has a brother in business in White Plains, in this State, who actually wrote a very strong letter remonstrating with us for refusing to increase his debt. In afew days, we shall publish in a brochure the correspondence of David Mitchell on this new and curious case of private repudiation. It willbe a fit companion for the pamphlet of iBoorman & Johns- ton, and may be' bound up very elegantly with the lists ef Bankrupts, issued for the information and benefit of the community at large. N. B. The new agent for the Herald in New Ha- ven is Mr. Pease. Let him be patronized—avoid all repudiators. Conneeticut is not a repudiating State. Rutys or Cenrrat America anp Yucatan.—We are about to be gratified, more than we supposed in thé new publications. Mr. Stephens has visited the following places in his recent tour to Yucatan :— Mayapan, Uxmal, Sijoh, Tankuche, Maxcanu, San Sackneeté, Sabahkstchen, Labcah, Tabi, Xul,'Ran- cho of Noheacab, Sacbe, Xampon, Chunjuhu, Ytzimpte, Iturbide, Macoba, Yakatzib, Becanchen, Zaccacal, Santa Maria, Akil, Chichen, Cape Cato- che, Chemax, Island of Cozumel, Island of Muge- res, Cancune, Tancar. Of these Uxmal had been previously visited by Mr. Waldeck and Mr Ste- phevs. Chichen had been visited and brought to the notice of the public by the Baron Frederichk- stahl, who made drawings and took Daguerreotype views. Of all the rest, not one had ever been visit- ed until they were visited by Mr. Stephens. Antal Macyerism 1x Disavise—At Clinton Hall,every evening,under thefmask of “Neurology,” and “evolved” by Dr. Buchanan. The lecture last evening was upon the subjects of Neuaura, P cho- logy, Electricity, Phrenology, Magnetism, Physiolo. gy, the convolutions of mentality as radiated through the conductor regions of the motor cords, the complexity of the psychological functions of the cerebral regions as developed by the medulla oblon- gatar, and other impondurable agents of Johnsonian ponderosity. The Doctor said he should avoid any discussion or argument upon these subjects as not adapted to a popular audience. Still he “evolved” the whole matter just as clear as mud, harmonizing all the antagonistical influences of the coronal regions, reflexively, retrospectively, and prospectively. He said he did not like the name of Animal Magnetism ; that the neuauric influence will regulate a man’s health ; that the back of your hand will produce a more soothing, mild, and gen- tle influence than the palm ; that galvanism, electri- city, and magnetism, all play very important parts inthe animal economy, in proof of which he related an anecdote of a girl who received sparks and gave them off. Thewhole lecture went off with great eclat, as also several smaller speeches not'set down in the bill; and finally the audience all went off, and espe- cially a gentleman who said a small dose of Dr. Bu- early this morning. We believe that the Caledonia arrived at Boston yesterday, with eleven days later news from Europe. MOne Day Laren rrom France.—The New Eng- land, Crocker, from Havre 9th ult. arrived at Boston last Tuesday, having had a pleasant pasaage with fair winds all the way. She brought ao papers, apt. Crocker reports that nothing important had oc- curred. aay sy chanan’s neuauric influence applied to his organ of rotation set him incontinently to spinning round the room like a teetotum or a twopenny top. Mr. Wensrer did not arrive yesterday. He is expected this morning. Sreamsuiy Brrrawnta, Capt. [Hewitt, left Boston on Tuesday for Halifax and Liverpool, with twenty passengers. The mails contain upwards of 13,000 letters, and about forty bushels of newspapers, Francisco, Xeoch, Nohpat, Nohcacab, Kabah, Zayi, Sm Buripive In New Yorx.—Notwithstanding the depressing influence of the new tariff law upon the shipping interest, most of the ship yards in this city present a comparatively busy appearance. One large packet ship called the “ Ashburton,” of eleven hundred tons burthen, and to be commanded by Capt. Huttleson,of the Roscoe,was launched yester- day by Westervelt & Mackay, and two more packet ships and one large steamboat are now on the stocks, amounting in the aggregate to nearly four thousaad tons. The cabin of the “Ashburton” is sixty four feet long, and fourteen feet wide—being larger than the cabin of any other packet. It will differ from all others in style and arrange ment. Herstate roms will be about nine feet square each. All is to be fitted up in the style of Louis the Four- yeenth, by Gibson, the decorative artist. It is certainly very gratifying to see the ship yards so lively amidst so much depression, and to notice that our large shipping merchants still go ahead, against all difficulties, At Webb & Allen’s there is a ship building for the old line of Liverpool packets, Charles H. Marshall, agent, that will probably surpass in size, beauty and speed, any ship attached tothat line. She is to be of twelve hundred tons burthen, and will be con- structed with every modern improvement. Captain Benjamin L. Waite, now of the favorite ship Eng- land, will command her, and we understand that she is to be built entirely under his superinten- dence. Brown & Bell have on the stocks in their yard, a ship of the same size as the above, and intended for the new line of Liverpool packets, to be composed of the Rochester, Southerner, Hottinguer, and this new vessel, Wcodhull & Minturn, agents. She is | cinity have experienced a coasiderabie drought. The tobe commanded by Captain Eldredge, long and favorably known as the commander of the Hunts- ville, and his own affairs, These two fine packets will be launched early next year. Their contour will partake very much of the appearance of the Roscius, Sheridan, Sid- dons, and Garrick, and all the capital improve- ments introduced by Mr. E. K. Collins will be adopted in them—such for instance as the poop deck and the flatish bottom. The building of these ships does not indicate any decline in the packet ship business. It does not prove that the steamers have injured them so ma- terially as many persons have imagined. On the contrary, it shows that the business is not a losing one, and that it isjonly to be affected by a tariff,such asthat passed at the last session of Congress.— Steam ships tend more to increase the travel be- tween Ameriza and Europe than to injure the sail- ing packets, The steamer, which we have mentioned, is build- ing by Wm. H. Brown, the great steam boat con- structor. He built the Russian steam frigate Kam- schatka, the steam boat Troy, and fifty others equal- ly as splendid, substantial and swift. Thatnow on the stocks is the longest steam vessel ever built either in this country or; in Europe. Her ex- treme léngth is three hundred and thirty feet, six feet longer than the great iron steamer Great Britain. Her breadth of beam is thirty feet, with nine feet and ten inches depth of hold.— The dining room will be three hundred and ten feet long, and there are to be two rows of state rooms. Altogether, her hull will far surpass any thing of the kind yet seen in the world. Sheis to be fitted with two of William A. Lighthall’s horizontal half beam marine engines, called forty-eights, with a twelve foot stroke. Her wheels are to be 324 feet diame- ter, 124 feet face, with a dip of 28 inches. Her shafts and cranks will be of wrought iron. She is to have, four boilers, nine and a half feet wide and eighteen feet long. The whole length of the engines, from bulkhead to bulkhead, will be forty- eight feet over all, by the diameter of the cylinder in width. These engines of Ligthhall’s are superior to any ever introduced in a steam vessel. Indeed, they are the only American marine engine ever invented. ‘They have all the advantages of the present “ beam engine,”—all the advantages of the “‘square and crossed engines,”,in stress and strain —all the ad- vantages of the “incline engine,” from the incline of its connecting rod from the beam to the crank, and all the advantages of the “horizontal engine,” from having a horizontal cylinder, leying horizon- tally in the bottom of the vessel, and working longi- tudinally with the strength of the hull. They can have any length of stroke, and are suitable forany depth of hold. A beautiful model of this “half beam engine” was exhibited at the late Fair of the American In stitute. Noone seemed to notice it, however—no one appeared to appreciate it—and even the mem- bers of the Institute passed it by as a mere model, as valuable as such as ina steam vessel. They per- haps did not know that the only marine engine this country ever produced, and destined to supplant all others, wasin their Fair. We should think, how- ever, that the managers of the Institute ought to have known what they themselves exhibited. It is Teally apity they did not. Powsr oF THE Newsrarer Press-—Tue Tammany County Mretine.—After all, it must be seen that the press is the great safeguard of this country. It isthe police and the gevernment of the country. The magistrates are nothing, police no- thing, watchmen nothing, in comparison with the press. The late meeting was an exemplification of this. If the press had not come out and showed the probability of a riot, the folly of it, and the means to prevent it, there would have been a tremendous fight it Tammany Hall. As it was, the whole af- fair went off quite peaceably after Mike Walsh was put on the ticket, and with very little previous noise. Comrtiment To Carrain Sropparp.—Annexed is the correspondence that passed between the Hon. Daniel Webster and Captain Stoddard, of the pack- et ship Ville de Lyon, relative to the beautiful gold medal presented to the latter by the Queen of Eng- land Derantmest oF Srate, } » ‘Wasuineton, Aug. 17, 1842, jn Thave just received a letter from Mr. Fox, the British Minister at Washington, transmitting to me, wo hentnrae of Her Majesty’s government, six gold medals bearing the portrait of the Queen, which the British Government de- sire to present to the’Commanders of the United States vessels named in an eocerey list, in acknowledge- ment of the services ogee ly em in saving the lives of British seamen ; and requesting me to cause these me- dals to be delivered to the respective commanders in the name and behalt of Her Majesty's govermment. 1 have accordingly the honor of transmitting to you a bearing the portrait of Her Majesty, and recording on the reverse, that it is presented by the British Govern- ment to Capt.

Gone vr THe Srneam—T Exrine Inereastne anp THe Lorp have just recerved late intelligence from the Mormon Empire, and we find that Joe Smith, in spite of all reports to the con- tary, is still a “live fish going against the current.” Joe and his community of people are preaching, prophecyiyg, praying, working, building, and busy asever. The movement made here by Cook Ben- nett, to put down the Mormons, seems to have no ef- fect upon that cool, but energetic people.

Committee on the'lst instant,to present their books and ac- counts for examination, and to give account of their work atthe Temple, After carefully and attentively examining and rcek their books and accounts, the Trustee ex- pressed himself well satisfied with the labors and proceed- ings of the Committee, and ordered that this be publisned in the Times and Seasons, thet the saints may know the fact, and be thereby enceuraged to double their exertions and forward means to roll on the building of the Temple in Nauvoo. WILLIAM CLAYTON, Clerk, ‘and Recorder for the Temple. auvoo, October 11, 1842. Luseen.—Another large f pine hewn timber, with a respectable portion of boards and planks, came dowm from the pineries in Wisconsin, and landed in this city on Thursday last. Itcontained twenty-four thousand cubic feat of timber, and eighty or ninety thousand feet of boards. Vigilance, industry, and tranquility will give Nauvoo beauty, elegance, and appearance, suitable to the name, and worthy of imitation. Dnovont.—Fer several weeks the inhabitants of this vi- crops being out of the way—nothing, if we except, now and then, acase of chill ‘and fever, suffer much, thought ashower of rain would be very agreeable. ‘The first fros of any note, compnioplag along on Saturday night, the 8th inst., which has turned the beautiful green of summer tothe orange and “ choad leaf,” as a signal that the eold breath of winter will soon give us one of his chilling blasts, and shut the scene of summer felicity and autumn sobrie- ty, for the general benefit of the white surveyor—sans souci. Crrrons.—Elder Woodruff, of this city, has raised the past season from one seed, some forty or fifty citrons, which weigh in all 600 pounds. ‘This is more than scrip ture measure, being six hundred fold. Elder Woodruff raised a radish, also, in his garden, which measured 13} inchesin circumference. Great things in Nauvoo. Mone Moamons — Elder Brown arrived with acamp of fifty Mormons, on Tuesday last, from Addison county- ‘Vt. all in health and spirits, and well pleased with the city of Nauvoo, and the country generally. Long Island Sound Piloting. Eprtor New York Henatp— Dear Si In your police report, of yesterday, I find an item head- ed “A Mock Pilot,” which does great injustice to me, and is unwarranted by the facts of the case. Itistrue, that I was arrested upon the complaint of one Thomas.A, Harris, (who, by-the.way, isa half branch stripling here, put for: ward to exeeute the bey aa ey ‘of others,) and held to bail in the sum of five hundred dollars. But the other statements and representations respecting mé article, are pibelly af unqualifiedly false. My is piloting to the Eastern ports, to wit: Kennebeck, Po! land, Nantucket, New Bedford, &c. &c. ith all the Vine- yard and Long {sland ship harbor ports, and has been for years, and my responsibility is well known to the princi- pal merchants in South street, and ut the insurance offices, Wall street ; and in the discharge of my duty as such pilot, Ihave transgressed no State laws, which I holdin the greatest respect and reverance, nor laid myself lable to any of their penalties , and I hold myself ready at all timer and every where to vindicate 7 cheracter and acts, whenever called upon at the bar of justice. By publishing the above in your’ valuable paper, you wilicorrect an erroneous impression given by the article referred to, And oblige your fellow-citizen, OWEN PRESCOTT, Sound Pilot.

Poutce, &c.—No “big business” before the police yes. terday. A dirt cart man, named Stephen Williams, was arrested and committed for wantonly and malicieusly driving his cart against a light one-horse vehicle, contain- ing Dr. Archer, the Coroner of the city, and breaking one of the axles. Bill Russell, the celebrated passenger runner, was jugged for beating officer Barber, while en. gaged in serving a warrant upon him for stealing butter, And the Coroner held am inquest on the body of a boy named Henry R. Dunham, jr., aged six years, who had died from compression of the brain, produced from a fall received while playing the game of ‘‘ tag” in company with some other boys. He accidentally came in collision with one of them, while running, and was throw upon the pavement so severely as to cause his death. Cuatuam THEati The undying drama of the Surgeon of Paris will be re-produced to-night, in which Mr. J. R. Scott will enact, for the first time, the Surgeon. The character could not be placed in better hands; and when we consider the surpassing beauty and historical interest of the play, and the acknowledged talent of the actor in the principal part, we feel safe in predicting a fashionable house. Anew piece will be added, called the Herculaneum, together with the drama of Arnden, the Reckless The “Great Western” will be on hand, with another batch of eccentricities; also, Sandford and Whit- lock in their Ethiopian extravaganzas. GG- Large and fashionable audiences continue to at- tend the American Museum, and the Manager keeps heasing on theextraattractions. This is the last week of the ec- centric and inimitable Dr. Valentine, whose comic repre- sentations keep the audience in a constant roar of laughter’ Sigor Vivaldi’s wonderful “family” perform feats perfect- ly incredible, and which were never accomplished by liv- ing pertons, Miss Hood and La Petite Celeste elicit thun- ders of applause, and the Falls of Niagara, with real wa- ter, are alone worth the pr'ce of admission. This vast es- tablishment conteins six, spacious halls crowded with cu- rigsities, more than are contained in any five Museums in America. QG- The Manager of the New York Museum not only caters more liberally for the public than any of his prede- cessors, but charges less—he presents twice as much attraction, and demands only half as much for admission’ The result has been such as a person pessessed of any judgment would anticipate—the most decided success.— Master Frank Diamond, the unrivalled Ethiopian dancer, is engaged ; Mr. Aden, the banjo player; Mr. Nellis, born without arms ; Miss Rosalie, Mr. Delarue, and Mr. Collins, The admission to the museum, picture gallery, and per- formances, is only one shilling—cheap beyond all prece” dent.

The stockholders and creditors of the various | broken and suspended banks of the eity and coun- ty, are becoming quite inquisitive about the actions of the assignees and trustees. It is thought high | time, that in the general settlement of accounts ; that is now taking place, some sort of return should be made of the fragments of the loaves and fishes re- maining after the repast of the Presidents, Cashiers and Directors. In accordance with these notions, the trustees of the Bank ef the United States—quite re- luctantly—have filed a bill of discovery in the Dis- trict Court of this city, against Mr. Biddle, in order that he may tell what was done with the checks, &c. passed to Andrews, tre cashier, and with sundry other large amounts, as yet unaccounted for, and of which there is no statement on the books of the bank. Mr. B. can answer, or let italone. Ii the former, he must tell something, If the latter, the Andalusia mortgage will probably be explained. ‘This is a move that ought to have been made long 30, by some of the Foreign Stockuolders, who should have filed a billon the Chancery side of the Cireuit Court of the United States; above and beyend certain District. Court’ influences, that may thwart justice of her aims. This bill is but “the beginning of the end.” We shall have others at the confessional. But what atonement can these men make for the misery, and wretched- ness; the payee and'agony caused by their remorse- less frau Is and plunderings?: Every circle of society here has its own peculiar tale of fallen fortunes to narrate ; and fair faces traced with tears, and aged sobbing old women reft of their incomes in their de- clining years, mournfully attest the rain that Mr. Biddle and his sattelites have created around em. Our medical schools have commenced their intro. ductories ; the attendance of pupils thus far 1s not as greatagusual. The Jefferson school has the mort energetic and popular professors; but the Univer~ _\v by. its better museums and old reputation, si tains the lead in numbers. The Pennsylvania Col- lege, has been but recently established; they have Dr. McClellen, whose reputation asa surgeon is very great, but want the museums and other buildings requisite for a complete school. ‘wo of our mest noted gamblers have been con- victed at the Sessions, and sent to prison in default. of bail. If the straw bail system does not save them, they will caigiii get their deserts. Theatricals are dull again.
