The list of candidates for the several State offices in this city, have been received. We request every reader to give us the names he knows. We shall have a full list ready ina few days. “ Reuben,” from Hartford, has been received, and shall havea place. State of the Republic—The Results of Uni- versal Suffrage and Vote by Ballot, ‘The recent political results in the State of New York, aceompanied with the like events through- out the Union, present a condition of things in this republic, that will arrest the attention of all Euro- pean speculators on republican institutions, be they literary, commercial, financial, or philosophical. In the State of New York especially, a State which gives the tone to the Union, an election by ballot, in one day, where over 300,000 votes were taken, has passed off, with only one event, that looked hke a riot, throughout the whole common- wealth. In this city and its neighborhood, with a pepulation of nearly half a‘million, and a vote of nearly 503000, the election passed off as quietly as a Sabbath day in Eagland. This extreme public or- der, has resulted from the system of universal suf- tre vote by ballot—and a division of every city, town and county into a multitude of small districts of a thousand votes each, all to be completed in one uay. Can the world exhibit such a counterpart of quiet, order, and perfect propriety? Can England, with all her religion, and intelligence ? In another aspect the recent elections are equally important—as an example and an indication to the people of Europe. In this State, the questions openly put tothe people were a high pretecrive tariff—or a revenue tariti—mere public debt and a policy lead- ing to ultimate State bankruptcy and repudiation, or economy, taxes to pay the public debt, and no more borrowing. These questions were openly advocated party—and the result has been, by a larger popular majority than ever took place in New York, in favor of a moderate tar! ff for revenue—in favor of some kind of a sound, specie-based, national curren- cy, but notan “old fashioned United States Bank” — in favor of a direct tax to sustain the credit of the State—in favor of economy in public expenditures, and against the further contraction of debt—and in tavor of the administration of John Tyler, as now organized and conducted, in foreign and domestic concerns. These have been the emphatic results obtained in the recent elections, although in regard to the chinces of future candidates for the presidency, hing has been thrown into utter confusion. people of New York and the United States have ded on public measures—and on high moral principles—the selection of men will be reserved for another year—and whether Clay, or Tyler, or Van Buren, or Cass, or Scott, or Dick Johnson, or Cal- houn, will have the best chance, is placed in greater doubt and uncertainty than ever. No matter—one important result is obtained—the distinct judgment of the people on important public measures; and if at the next session of Congress, the members do not retrace their steps, and legislate more for the public interest, than tointrigue for Pre- sidential candidates, the whole ceuntry will be roused into action. i Let the people and governments of Europe pon- der on these results, which exhibit a higher degree of sound morality, practical common sense, and pub- lic order, under a system of universal suffrage, than the world has ever seen. They may speculate on the dark spot of Abolition that has made its appear- ance bya distinct organization in several of the States—but though the Abolition party may defeat the Whigs hereafter,they cannot have any other ef- fect on the great movements of society. We believe that the country is coming right—in its finances, trade, morals, and integrity. The tri- umph of sound principles in New York, will have a proper inflaence over those other States that have repudiated or neglected to pay the interest of their public debts. Politicians will be encouraged to as- sume the e ground that the democrats have bold- ly done in New York—and the same results will fol- low among a people whose morals are healthy, common sense practical, and resources abundant, in spite of all past misfortunes. We even believe that an international copy-right law will be passed by Congress in due time, in spite of the abuse of foreign literateurs, and narrow-minded travellers. On the whole, looking over the Union,we believe recent events and results have established the fact that this republic, self governed by a system of uni- versal suffrage and vote by ballot, has within its Joins the principles cf morals and religion, sufficient to put to shame every country in Europe—and hes a better and happier prospect to look upon, than the whole world onthe other side of the water. by es Wno Wrote tat R 1—This question is still discussed in the newspapers, but conjecture is certainly at fault.” The most probable guess that we have heard is the name ot Gliddon, a young Eng- lishman, who reviewed Cooley's Work on Egypt.— ‘There isthe same style—the same temper—the same prejudices—and the same general ignorance in both Reviews But whoever is the author, there is no doubt of Dickens’ indorsement—and when you cannot reco- ver fom the drawer, law and equity entitle you to bring in your bill against the indorser. Hereafter, for all intents and purposes, we shall consider “Charles Dickens Esq.” minus “ his lady,” as the responsible person, who must answer for all the er- rora, blunders, falsehoods, pretensions and malevo- lence of that Review We have a “ Reply to the Review,” in the shape of a Counter Review, now in a state of preparation, and written by a distingaished literary gentleman of this country, It will be out soon, and will be a screamer. Tue Great Westery.—The Western will leave ‘to-morrow for Livyerpool—not Bristol, Farner Minter anp wis Enemres.—Several of our cotemporaries are making themselves marvel- lously savage upon Father Miller and his men ; call- ing them “ignorant, superstitious and credulous”— a ‘corps of illiterate and besotted disciples”— “preposterous nonsense”—infernal orgies”—“ idi- otic proselytes”—* illiterate quacks”—* idiots and knaves,” &e. &e. We are not surprised at this disgusting and extra- orcinary language. History furnishes us with a thousand examples of similar intolerance during the progress of civilization. Miller, with the Bible in his hand, and pointing to the Book of Daniel, be- jieves and preaches that the world will end next year—and with this belief he unites morals and pu- rity of lfeand conduct. We do not believe as Mil- ler believes—but we doubt whether it is manly or candid to call him bad names, and impute crimes to him, merely op account of his opinious. We be, lieve that Daniel, in nis book, (which we always read with pleasure) had reference to the restoration of the Jews, under the reign of Cyrus. They were then in the Babyloniancaptivity, Itisa historical, poetical, biographical, aud af you please, a prophe- tie book. Daniel was a captive in Babylon, a chief man or politician among bis people, and he promises or predicts certain events, in order to keep them to- gether, and to bring about the rebuilding of the Temple. But while we think differently from Miller, there is no propriety in defuming the man. Every new light, or master spirit, or great reformer, has, howe- ver, to meet the same abuse from the same class of people, in all ages,fLuther, Calvin, John Knox, John Wesley, Whitfield, Galileo, Bacon—the founder of every sect in religion or philosophy among us, has been denounced in his day and generation, in the same strain. If Miller is thus to be treated, what should be said of Doctor Brownlee who admitsthat the Millennium will begin in 1866, or thereabouts? What of Dr. Augu-tine Smitn, whose geological theories and facts show the eternal duration of mat- ter? What of Dr. Neilson, whose views of phisio- logy, lead to the same conclusion as those of geolo- sy? What of all the crowd of lecturers, preachers, philosophers and saints, who are flaming up and go- ing out, as fast and as thick as so many farthing rush-lights? Old Miller is a very moral, pious,good sort of a man—and if his calculations are wrong, as we believe he has missed a figure or two, a few months will set him right. After a great deal of re- flection we have come to this conclusion—that it is best to encourage and promulgate all views on eve- ry subject,ias the best method to reach the truth in the end. Thisis the true ground. Every sect in religion or philosophy has some gold in the midst of much dross. Pick out the gold,and let the dross fly away with the next wind of forgetfulness. Cov. Wess again Inpicrep.—Our old friend and fellow sufferer, Col. Webb, of the “ regular army,” has been again indicted for that “ duel,” by the present grand jury now in session—bail demanded and given for $10,000. We also understand that the case of Mr. Belmont and Mr. Heyward 1s un- der consideration, and will probably share the same destiny. Nor would we be surprised if our friend, the Hon. Tom Marshall, of Kentucky, were also indicted—and if so, as soon as Governor Bouck comes into office, he will demand the delivery of Tom, of the Governor of Kentucky. Marshall cer- tainly gave the first invitation to fight, in the pre- sence of Judge Kent and of the whole Court of Oyer and Terminer in session. Verily, these are rigid times, aad we should not be surprised if the millennium were really at hand, as Father Miller predicts. At any rate, there iv a strong movement in favor of order, morality, and the just administration of justice, that will no doubt next visit all the defaulters, cheats, and scoundrels of the age, and thus purify the present century, so as to procure a postponement of the great and final day of judgment, as in the case of Sodom and Go- morrah. If, in 1826 and ’27, Jacob Barker and half adozen other men were indicted, tried, convicted, and punished for trifles, in comparison tothe recent financial events in Wall street and elsewhere, why should the great Croton stream of eternal jus tice be now turned off, when we have the real Cro- ton river running through New York, to wash the outside man? Let us wash the inside too. Lirerary InreLiicence —Fennimere Cooper's new novel is in press, and will be out in a few days. Its characters and scenes are taken from the age of the French revolution, and will be rather curious. Cooper himself is now in the country, preparing more cases of libel against Webb, Weed, and half a dozen other editors. N. P. Willis is in town, writing for the magazines and other periodicals. We hear nothing further of the daily paper he was to start. Epes Sargent is busily engaged in getting out his new “ Lad es’ Magazine,” which is to take the rag off the bush, and put to flight all the other maga- zines of the day. The celebrated and beautiful Mrs. Mowatt, who gave “ Readings” here a year since, is to be connected with this periodical, as a contributor. It is that she will succeed much better as a writer of “‘ prose and verse,” than as a teaiter of others’ “ verse and prose. ’ Bancroft, the best American historical writer ex- tant, was recently making speeches on coons and locofocos at Boston, and endeavoring to reach the game pinnacle of fame in Pewter-mug literature that Mike Walsh has been perched upon for a few weeks, like a coon on the naked branch of a high tree. Unrreckpentep Mismanacement.—We under- stand that the whole commercial mail made up yes- terday at the Lower Post office, for the Columbia steamer, to sail this day fromBoston,was left behind on the wharf, in consequence of some negligence somewhere. This will be a shocking disappoint- ment to the commercial world. The letters depo- sited at Harnden’s office, Wall street, were on board the boat in time, and went off in the regular way. We hope that the Postmaster General will look into this matter. News rrom Caxapa —We learn from Kingston that his Excellency Sir Charles Bagot, the Governor General, has been visited with a severe and danger- ous illness. The nature of the disease is not certain- ly known, and serious apprehensions are entertained of his life. Edward Gibbon Wakefield has been returned to represent the “Helots” of Beauharnois in the Pro- vincial Assembly. ‘The Canada papersare filled with very interesting details of the recent earthquake at Montreal, Three Rivers, the St. Maurice Forges, and other places, There was a sudden sound, a rumbling noise, an explosion like a twenty-four pounder, a violent trembling of the earth, the rocking of houses, the cracking of walls, the cries of womer. and children, the terror of che men, the rattling of glass-ware and crockery, the falling of chimneys, and various other remarkable and terrific phenomena. But little damage, however, was done. The Messrs. Braham, Mons. Knoop, and Signora Di Goni, are giving Concerts at Montreal. Coon Sxinninc in M. cuuserts.—Eight towns heard from give Morton 2306, Davis 2000 and Abo- lition 196. Last yearin the same towns Morton had 1781, Davis 1935 and Abolition 141. This shows a large increase in coon skinning. To-day we shall have full returns from the State. Aut Riowr ix Inpiana.—Thomson, whig, has been elected to the House of Representatives in In- diana from Allen county. This will probably se- cure the election of a whig United States Senator from that State. For Savep ry Mosi.e.—The whigs have elected their Mayor in Mobile by 400 majority. Wuere’s true Hann Winren?— Yesterday was a lovely day, choice Indian summer weather. (cj General Worth has arrived at Picolata,(Fla.) and proceeded thence to Palatka. Case or Joun C. Cout.—This person, sentenced to be hung on Friday next, is now under deep concern of mind relative to his future state, produced mainly from the efforts of the Rey. Dr. Anthon, of St. Mark’s church. The first visit of this gentleman, which wasa few days sinee, was tellowed by no result, but on the second, on Monday, Colt’s stub- born nature gave way, and he expressed the utmost earnest desire to listen to the consoling aid of this reverend gentleman. Several other of the clergy had previously visited him, but without any effect. He now refuses to see any other except Dr. Anthon, and was yesterday morning most earnestly engaged in prayer with this reverend gentleman. He is now a full and sincere believer in astate offuture rewards and punishments. Hundreds were flocking to the city prison yes- terday to see him, butno one was admitted except hisfriends, or those introduced by them. A deputy sheriff is present to prevent any instrument being given him whereby he might destroy himself, al- though hy disavows any intention to commit such an act. His physical appearance is wonderfully changed since Suaday, and he looksas though he bad been confined to a sick bed for months. Until yesterday he had given up all hopes of either pardon or respite, bat from the proceedings of a meeting of a portion of the members of the Bar of this city, held ia the Sessions Court room, yester- day, as given below, no doubt that a hepe is again revived in his bosom that he may yet live over the time now fixed for his execution, Should such not be the case, the result will be met with a severer pang than if these efforts had not been made. Wealso understand that David Graham, Esqr., has intimated, or given notice to Sheriff Hart, that if he proceeds to execute Colt under the warrant of the Court of Oyer and Terminer, he will be liable to a prosecution for homicide, as the Court is not, in his opinion, constitutionally organized,{with the Al- dermen acting as Judges! This is, altogether, in- cluding the meeting yesterday morning,a queer and strange proceeding, and particularly so when it is considered that the attempt is made to retard and defeat the due administration of the laws by the pas- sage of a set of resolutions! This is a strange coun- try, and we are a strange people truly. The meeting was called to order by appointing J. H. Raymond, Esq. Chairman, and Francis Tucker, Secretary. There were about two hundred persons present, and some of the speakers were received by hisses, and other marks of disapprobation from some of the audience. Messrs. J. W. Edmonds, E. Paine, and M. C. Patterson, Esq. addressed the meeting, and James T. Brady, Esq. introduced the following resolution: 81 sal except in cases free from all doubt amounts to a den! of justice. Resolved, That the question whether under the Con- stitution of this State, a Court of Oyer and Terminer can be held otherwise than by udges appointed by the Gover- nor and Senate, although discussed, remains undecided in the Court of Errors, and deserves serious deliberation, the words of the Constitution being “ The Governor shall nominate and with the consent of the Senate shall appoint all judicial officers except justices of the peace.” Resolved, That questions concerning the organization of courts, require above all others, the decision of the highest tribunal, inasmuch as if illegally constituted,their judgements afford no protection to the officers directed to ‘execute them. Resolved, That the moral force of every legal judg- ment, especially when it involves human life,must depend on its unquestioned correctness, and that the execution of any judgment whose legality is gravely denied by delibe- rate and disinterested minds, without affording the oppor- tunity provided by law to have it reviewed in the court of ultimate appeal, must deprive that judgment of the uni- versal respect to which after such a review it would be clearly entitled. Resolved, That the execution of any convict, (what- ever his crime,) is of no greater importance to the com- munity than such an administration of the laws as will produceimplicit public confidence in the decisions and decrees of our courts of justice. ‘ The resolutions were then adopted, and a Aa mittee of five was appointed to forward copies to the Governor, Chancellor, and Judges of the Su- preme Court, to decide upon publishing the same, and to ask a temporary reprieve of the Governor. The chairman appointed Messrs. James T. Brady, Ward, Griffith, Patterson, J. W..Edmonds; and on motion, the Chairman and Secretary were added. The meeting then adjourned. TueatricaL.—The business of theatricals is pretty fair in some of our large cities—although many theatres are falling away. In New York, the Park has been doing only a living business tor the past ten days, with the “ Israelites in Egypt.” The expenses have equalled the profits. Fashionab e soviety have not come out as expected—and the musical people cut up the “drama” as a piece of patchwork, badly put to- gether, and not well executed. All the original arias of Ros ini are left out. Niblo’s Saloon and Garden is closed for the sea- son, after a run of great good luck, and immense shoals of money. Niblo has rented it during the winter to the Rev. Mr. Finny, the famous fire-and- brimstone Presbyterian clergyman, who preaches there every Sunday, and opposes Father Miller and the Pope to the last. The Olympic isdoing so-so. The Bowery is go- ing down rapidly. Not even could Celeste, with all her talent and energy, retrieve its falling fortunes. She almost sunk with it during her engagements in the city; for the houses, with the exception of a few nights, were not crowded. Celeste missed a figure in not appearing at the Park. She returns to England in the Caledonia. The Chatham appears to be doing a better busi- ness than any other. This arises from the energy of Thorne, and his constant novelty. Several concerts are on the carpet. Max Bohrer is here and gives his first concert on Thursday. He is preceded by a great reputation. Mrs. Sutton is in this city, living in great retirement. Braham is in Montreal, coming along this way by-and-by. Na- gelis in Albany. 3G Max Bonrer’s Concert comes off to-mor- row evening—see advertisement. It is said he is the greatest wonder in the world on the violincello. V Sag the St. Petersburg Gazette, of Feb. 24, 1837.) Max Bonren’s Musicat Exrertainments.—The great artist, whose most wonderful performances on the Viol yn- cello, have tor the last few weeks, enchanted the distin. guished personages of St. Petersburg, ditlers essen from the virtuosos of our own time, in the fact, that th latter aim solely at more mechanical dexterity and skill, and are entirely deficient in those deeper intrinsic merits of character and expression, to which all mechanical excel- lence should be regarded merelv as subordinate and sub- sidiary. For, though Mr. Bohrer exhibits a most incredi- ble command of his instrument, even mechanically viewed, and holds a clear and decisive superiority over all other living performers on the Violoncello, yet he pos- sesses, in addition to this, the still higher attributes of a truly great master and artist. We heard him, to our ad- miration and astonishment, perform some of the most elaborate and difficult passages, which others would have found it scarcely possible to execute, with an ease and ressiveness, which bespoke almost a superhuman pows is pianos, ia the quickest time, are like the scarcely au- le, distant, magic whisperings of the olin harp. His d slicate pizzicatos, in the highest violin notes, resem ble the fairy strains of the zephyrs. His compr. hensive and perfect grasp of the whole range of tones of which his instrument is capable, prove hm to be a complete master of it. We hai the pleasure of hearing Mr. Bohrer play some of the grave violoncello pieces, namely the celebrated Elegy of Romberg ; and he here showeil a master’s power of the highest order ; tion, which as far surpa: I the feats of mere mechani- cal dexterity, as man’s mtelligent nature surpasses the material trame in which it dwells. To have a master of this gentleman's capacity, is a rare treat indeed. {From the Pilot, (published at Altona.) of May 18, 1942, Since the time of Romberg, the V ioloncello—the instru- ment so admirably adapted to express the inmost feelings ofthe heart, has not been wielded with so masterly a power, as it is by Mr Bohrer, andit is with no small de- gree of propriety that Rossini denominates him the aga nini of the Violoncello. Mr. Bohrer, striving onl; true and unaffected exhibition of sentiment in formance, is an e1 for a is per- stranger to the present demoniac school of Virtuosos; and, though pertectly capable of do- ing what they do, yet he seldom chooses to do so, p rink ra/her to remain true to nature, and to the dictation: of that genius which inspires him. Having already won the laurels of Europe in Frahce, Italy, Spee and Russia ’ rer is now about to carry his triumphs, by wa: of London, to Am om Pe . Cars Tortoxi—A fashionable establishment, similar to the celebrated café on the Boulevards, Paris, kept by Tortoni, is about being established a) 130 Broadway. It will be ‘on a splendid and ele- gant scale, and conducted in the highest style o the art Avatny.—Michigan has gone for the democrats. Lectures Last Evening. First in order comes Mrs. Farnham, the repudia- tor of starch, stockings, and plum puddings. The lecture, however, occurred in the early part of the day. In the evening, then, was first, the lecture before the Mercantile Library Association. It was to have been delivered by Richard H. Dana, Esq.; but du- ring the afternoon a letter was received from his son, announcing that he was confined to his bed by severe illness, At very short notice his place was supplied bythe Rev Mr. Bellows. This lecture was upon the subject of commercial life, and the necessity of decision of character, especially in such a tyrannical community as ours. The Tabernacle was very respectably well filled, there being about fifteen hundred young gentlemen and ladies pre- sent. Next, there was the lecture of Professor Smith upon geology, at the Lyceum of Natural History The room itgelf is brilliantly illuminated, and thea- trically embellished with geological paintings and drawings of immense size, covering almost the en- tire walls of the room. The panoramais very im- posing and attractive. A visit to the room aloue is well worth the price of a ticket. In the course of his lecture Dr. Smith remarked, that the appearance of man upon the earth was comparatively of very recent origin. If their were no other reason for this, the beasts of prey, who wer the earlier inhabitants, would be conclusive evidence of the fact, for they were so numerous, and of such stupendous size that they would infallibly have eaten him up. There were bears as big as horses, and if the sharks were as large in proportion as other animals , they must have been 150 feet long. The age of manon earth was probably some 7000 years. He was the last work of creation. This continent has probably not been upheave4 more than some 15,000 years. Dr- Smith thinks Liebig is not good authority. Many of his assertions are false. Dr. Nelson also gave another very learned and scientific lecture upon Physiology,at the New York Lyceum. This gentleman is altogether too modest for a man of such profound philosophical attain- ments. Sounding brass and tinkling cymbal will draw a larger popular audience than a whole ency- clopedia of science and philosophy. Tue Day or Jupement—Father Miller drew an immense audience last evening at the large church corner of Madison and Catherine streets. The building was crowded to overflowing at a very early hour, and before the sermon had commenced, every avenue ofentrance was closed. His” sermon was similar to one previously reported. He will preach again this evening at the same place, but the house will not be large enough to hold half who wish to hear him. INTERESTING FROM Texas—War In Earnest.— We have received, by the way of New Orleans, highly interesting intelligence from Texas to the 4th instant. Tt appears that war has now began in earnest. We give below all the particulars. After the taking of San Antonio, Caldwell, with 325 men, marched to the Solado, and encamped within six miles of the town. Thence he sent ina small force to drive out the Mexicans. They at- tacked the Texiansabout_nine o’clock in the’ day, and fought until night. The loss of the Texians, one killed and ten wounded, that of the Mexicans, two hundred and fourteen killed and wounted.— This wason the 15th of September. On the 19th the Mexicans retreated, and were followed by the Texi- ans. On the 2Ist they had askirmish—the Mexi- cansrapidly retreated. An expedition was. prepa- ring, under the command of Caldwell, to go to the Rio Grande, and would destroy every thing that could in any manner harbor the enemy. They were to leave some time during the present month. The fotlowing is a list of persons from the United States, killed and ales near the Solado, under the command of Captain Dawson, of La Grange :— Kitten purine tHe Excaceaent.—Nicholas M. Da son, Tennessee; Zudock Woods, John W. Pendleton, Mi souri; Robert Barkly, Texas; Edward Trimble, Missouri; John W. Scallorn, Elam Scallorn, Tennessee; Asa Jones, Alabama; Thomas Butter, Tennessee; Richard Slack, De ‘are; John Cummings, Maine; T.J.Churc, Harvey fall, j David Berry. Virginia; Jolin field, New York; ‘Thomas 8. mms, A. Hill, Mississippi; Charles 8. Rield, New York; Jerome B. Alexander, Kentucky; John F. Jones, Alabama; Robert M. Eastland, Tennessee. Taxen Prisoners arrer THE Ficht.—N. W. Fayson, ‘Tennessee; David 8. Kiraegay, North Carolina; Joseph Shaw, Indiana; Melun Harrell, Mo.; R. A. Barkly, Ten- nessee, Norman Woods, Mo ; J. C. Robenson, Mo.; Wm. Coultrin, —; Edward’ Martin, New York; ‘Allen Mor- rall, Teninessee; Mr. Patterson, '—; John Bradley, Ala- a. : Gen. Wool and his arty, have continued their re- treat, and at last advices the spies had discovered the Mexican army, numbering about 3.000, at the Pre- sidio del Rio Grande, fortifying. The spy company had driven in 3,000 head of cattle, which the M :xi- cans attempted todrive off in their retreat. 7 They followed the trail of his army about thirty miles beyond the Nueces, and feund carte, wagons, and articles of furniture strewn along the road, that had been apparently left to expedite his flight. The spiet say the trail indicated that he fled with great precipitation, and stopped to build camp fires only once or twice on the route to the Presidio - The peop e of Texas are incited by a lively desire for revenge and justice upon the Mexicans. At Houston, men of all classes have enrolled them- selves. Even a Minister of the gospel (Rev Mr. Huckins) has attacked himself to one ot the com- anies, believing the protection of his country, his Rome and his family, as not incompatible with his hély profession. In Liberty, Harris, Jasper, and other eastern counties, the militia are ready to turn outat the word. i Gen. Sumerville has so far recovered his health as to have started for the army. The time for its march to the frontier has been postponed to the 10th inst. One thousand men have continued in the field, and it is thought that 1,500 or 2,000 will be reaty to march at the time appointed. Troops are all in ex- cellent spirits, and are anxious to take up the line of march for te Rio Grande. There are now 1,245 troops in the field. one The planters and citizens generally throughout the west, furnish liberal contributions of supplies for the use of the troops, and are doing every thing in their power toforward the expedition. te It is said that the counties east of the Trinity, when convinced that the expedition willnot be de- feated in its incipient state, will furnish from 500 to 1,000 men. A regimental order, dated Houston, Nov. 1, calls upon the first and second classes of the regiment to rendezvous there on the 9th, erimed fully. They wil be organized, and march to the frontier imme- iately. A ineotogtt had brought the intelligence to Bex- ar that Gen. Wool had been reinforced by 500 men, and was awaiting the arrival of the militia of the eastern province of Mexico. ay The Mexicans at Bexar had become quite insolent and openly declared that Gen. Wool will soon come to their aid and assist them in removing their proper- ty to the Rio Grande. They have already clandes- tinely driven their cattle about 25 or 30 miles west- ward, towards the Rio Grande. A great many families had gone to Gonzales, un- der the impression that as Gen. Wool has 5,000 or 6,000 troops, he would again attack Saa Anto! We think their fears are groundless. Gen, W. is thinking of ‘the delights of home” about this time. ‘The prisoners taken at San Antonio, are now at t e village of Santa Rosa. caeten have the pri- vilege of the town, except Van Ness and Johnson, who are keptin close confinement. i The President has appointed John Hemphill to be Acting Adjutant General, and James R. Cook, Act- ing Inspector General of the forces of the Republic A letter received from Austin, conveys the intel- ligence, that money of every description, and even Exchequer bills, have almost entirely disappeared trom this section. The merchants of that place, for want of this article, are compelled to do business by barter and take hides, pecans, &c., for mer- chandixe, instead of money. 6 Many of the French emigrants arrived last at Matagorda, have been sick, and several died during ‘he summer. Four British men of war touched at Velasco, a few days since, and took in a suppiy of beef, &c. They were bound, it is said, for the Mexican coast. e schooner ‘Eliza, last from Galveston, was wrecked at the mouth of the Brazos a few days go. She had a cargo of $18,000 worth of goods tor Smith & Adriance, which are a total loss to the owners, as they were not insured. Furtner rrom Mexico.—Our dates from Mexi- co city are tothe 15th ult. In the Congress, in its session of Oct. 15, the proposed amendment of the Constitution was rejected by a small majority, for the second time. The Federalists opposed the pro- ect onthe ground that its provisions savored too nuch of centralism, and did not sufficiently con- orm to the good old constitution of 1824. This econd rejection was considered a hard blow at the vwpularity of Santa Anna. He has changed the Mexican seat of government. Vera Cruz for the oresent is the seat of diplomacy. ring ave Very Important frrom THE Paciric—We re- ceived the annexed very important piece of intelli- gence from Captain Griswold, of the Panama, which arrived yesterday from Canton. In lat. 25, long 60 N. he spoke the whale ship On- tario, of Nantucket, from a cruise—the Captain of which reported that a French squadron had taken possession of the Marquesas group of Islands, land- ed troops on them and fortified two of the largest.— The commander of the fleet had sealed orders, which he did not open till he arrived off the islands. Our whale ships made the Marquesas their half way house in the Pacific. They stop there for wa- ter and provisions. They are important for that purpose. This is an extraordinary movement on the part of the French. What does it mean? The group is composed of five islands, which are named Christi- na, St. Pedro{Hood, Magdalena, and St. Dominica. They are in about lat 9 50S. and long. 189 W. The inhabitants are of large size, tawny, and tattooed trom head to foot. The men go naked and the wo- men nearly so. They cook and eat all persons kill- edin battle, and also all their prisoners. What will the French do with such apeople? They will do something, however, with the islands. Muurary.—At an election held on the 14th inst. in the 64th Brigade New York State Infantry, F. E. Mather was unanimously chosen Brigadier General. Quick Worx.—Ship Manhattan, Captain Weth™ erhill, left Amsterdam on the 4th ult., arrived here on the Ist instant, discharged cargo, reloaded, clear- ed again for Amsterdam yesterday, and will be there on the 4th of next month, sure. This is quick work fora ship of four hundred tons burthen. The Fire Department, Mr. Eprror:— - At last the death blow has been struck to the Fire Department of the uke New York in he ene of athree districtlaw, which prohibits any engine,hose cart, or hook and ladder truck from running out of its district under the penalty of being disbanded and expelled. I, sir, have been an active member of the fire department for the last five years, and will lose that time sooner than be a slave to a paltry few who have dared to force this law down the firemen’s throats, They have passed the law under the plea that it is going to make it easy duty for the firemen, which is false, and carries the lie on the face of it. It has been got up for a political purpose, and in less than one da they will want to pay the firemen,and appoint them the same as the city watchmen are now. [We hope so.] We want nopay. We will do our duty without any reward, only let us run where we please and not confine us to a district. (We trust that the pay system will be adopted.) If they want a three district law, let the firemen have a vote on it, and see where the law would be—it would not get a single vo'e; and if the law is not re- pealed at once, the people of this city will see a worse muss than the Gulick strike ever was. [Let the «muss come, if out of it, we can have a paid system. ] : : Knowing your superior judgment on such things, and the influence of your paper, if you will take it up you can crush it at once, and restore the pleasant days that have passed, to the firemen of this city. LYou cannot have our influence against a paid sys- tem.] Fireman. County Court, Adjourned to Tuesday, 22d November. Common Pleas, Vacation till next Monda; Gene! Sessions.

The solo on the viol is exquisite. The perfor- mance on the harp by the little girl only three years of age, is a wonderful instance of precocious talent. There will be a performance to-day at three o’clock.

Philadelphia, [Correspondence of the Herald. | Purvavetruta, Nov. 15, 1842. The recent decision of the Governor of New York in the case of Colt, and his approaghing exe- cution, has created considerable talk in this city. By some the conduct of the Governor is applauded, whilst there are others equally loud ia its condemna- tion. There was quite an array of beauty and fashion atthe Walnut street theatre Jast evening. The un- rivalled attraction, Mr. and Mrs. Brougham, Mr. Placide, Mr. Chippendale, and Miss Cushman, in London Assurance, will again be repeated to-mor- row evening. The Walnut is a good house, under excellent management, and with such extraordinary exertions to please, unquestionably deserves sub- stantial patronage, The above array of talent ap- pears to-night in the comedy of “As You Like it.” Booth, at the Chesnut, drew a prety good audi- ence ; butnot such as his powerful talent deserved. To-night he appears as Sir Giles Overrvach, in “A New Way to Pay Old Debts.” Atthe ** Olympic,” the house as usgal was excel- lent. The wonderful performance of Nathans and Le Tort upon this evening seemed to surpass their previous undertakin; and drew from the audience Unmense applause. ‘This establishment is the con- stant theme of praise inall our city papers, and richly doesit deserve all it receives. It is the best regula- ted circus Philadelphia ever boasted of. _ Ogden’s “Menagerie,” with the daring Driesbach, is still exciting tie astonishment of our citizens, at the corner of 13th and Spruce streets. It is the greatest collection of animals ever brought together in the city ; and the wonderful acts of Herr Dries- bach excite a feeling of awe and alarm, coupled with applause, during the performance. Several of our first confectionary keepersand to- ! bacconists have been fined for selling their goods on ‘ Sunday.

Bristol—Sir : The motive that prompts me to address these lines to you, arises {rom a conviction para- mount to that of mere praise of your valuable Sarsaparilla, for if that was my desire I should fail in thé atteinpt, for feel ag though it would require a more powerful pen than mine to do justice to the high claims of so valuable a me- dicine as Bristol’s Sarsaparilla. It is the obligation 1 owe as one of the vast family of man to those, like myself, whose misfortune it has been te be afflictyd as I have been for several years past, that in- duces me, without solicitation, to make known to the world what has been an effectual remedy when and where the hope of acure was almost extinct. I had been informed that you were to visit this cit fali, when I expected to e the pleasure of sti to you what your Sarsaparilla has done for me, but in this I ‘was disappointed, you having left the city before I knew it ; I have therefore taken this method to inform you, and through you, all who may desire to know what my ¢fflic- tions were andalso what has proved an antidote to the same. I was attacked with Scrofula in a very alarming form about five years since, which spread rapidly throughout my head, face and throat, internal and external ; there were several holes in the roof of my mouth and about the late, which was nearly destroyed—my speech and hear- ing so much affected as to leave but little hope that those senses would ever return to me again as they now are.— One of my ears was partly destroyed, my nose and the greater part of my face to all human appearance must ‘Meet the same fate. My nerves were dreadfully affected so as to deprive moe of rest or sleep that was any thing but natural, but as one frenzied I passed my sleepless nights and wearisome days. My lower extremities were deathty cold and inanimate.— My feet were greatly extended in size from what was call- ed Dropsy, and in addition to this, for Lage fed I was afflicted with Piles in their most severe and distressing form, which is now removed, together with most of my great efflictions, through the use of your Sarsaparilia ee after having the best medical treatment the city af- this Tam now nearly well—my face has been saved, m: mouth and throat healed, my speech and srt ti restored, my sight improved, which was very doubtful, my sleep become natural my appetite good : in a word, 1 ama different person in feeling and ap) and there re- mains not a doubt but that Bristol’s Sarsaparilla will ef- fectually accomplish a thorough and lasting cure of all my afflictions. am at a loss for language and terms strong enough to speak of your Sarsaparillaas it deserves. It has been to me everything—to it 1 owe the preservation of my life under the direction of a wise Providence, and were J ca- pable I would proclaim to all the world what Bristol’s Sarsaparilla has dene for me. It will afford me pleasure at any time to inform any person who may desire to know anything I know ot Bristol's Sarsaparilla.

But I was told that my letter could not go in the Sun at any rate. I was also told that if I would wait three months they might put it inthe Sun for me. 1 then left the office. OPHELIA GORDON.
