We have treated him with the utmost forbearance and kindness, and here is his return. An Extra Herald. will he published to-day at ten o'clock precisely, contain- ing a full aud interesting report of the trial, arraignment, sentence and persecutions inflicted on James Watson Webb, who fought the duel with Tom Marshall in Delaware, and who seems to be doubly and unnecessarily punished— first, in receiving a severe wound in the leg, that will make him a cripple for life, and now in reputation, feel- ings, and personal liberty, at the hands of blind-folded jus- tice, who has bocome strangely capricious in these latter Jays. Also, the famous trial of the Prize Fighters, for manslangitter, in aiding to bring about the death of M’Coy, including all the evidence, speeches of counsel, and a verbatim report of the charge of Judge Ruggles, and also the verdict of the jury. ‘This trial was exclu- reported for the Herald, and no paper has yet given the Judge’s charge, unless the other morning papers of this day should steal it from us, without giving any eredit. Price for the Extra only The Next Presidency—New and Import Move —Gencral Cass In the Field. A new and very important political movement has just taken place in Harrisburg, Pennsylvania, in tayor of bringing forward General Lewts Cass,of Ohio, for the Presidency in the election of 1844. We give the proceedings in this day’s paper, as possessing a most important influence on future events—and forming one of the first of a series of popular demonstrations that are precisely identical with those that brought forward General Jackson and General Harrison to the same high station. The situation of the country and the state of the public mind, are very peculiar at this moment. A series of State elections have just passed away, indi- cating most conclusively that none of the present candidates before the country for the Presidency in ISH, possess those elements of general popularity, sufficient to call forth the enthusiasm or the votes of the people. By the United States census of 1810, there are in this country about 4,000,000 of free white people over 21 years of age. Ia the recent in ich the names of Clay and Van Buren were principally used, less than 2,000,000 votes have been taken, and only a majority of about 50,000 in the whole given for the democratic party. It is very evident from this fact that some new mMovernent—some new name—some new effort must be made to bring out the votes of the people,and command that proper attention in the public mind necessary to establish a useful government. Neither elections, rday in our Sun: dey morning edition, we published exclusively, a report of the aole charge of Judge Ruggles to the Jury, in the case of the prize fighters on trial at White Plains, and also the verdict of the Jury, which was manslaughter in the fourth degree. Both these pieces of important intelligence were reported and brought to this office by extraordinary express, at our sole expense. Nota single Sunday paper, so called, had the enterprise, or talent, or energy to re- port the harge or get the verdict—nor did a single paper in New York sent this important intelligence throughout the country, with the exception of the Herald. To-day the other daily papers will use our report—steal itfrom our columns rather, probably without giving us any credit for the enterprize. Well, be it so, Ole charge of Judge Ruggles at length,and the ver- dict of the jury, will be found in the Extra Herat, published to-day at 10 o’clock. It will be seen that the jury, in finding the verdict, have recommended the prisoners tothe mercy of the court, and we trust, as thisis the first time that such a casualty took place in New York, some mercy will be shown tothem. There is no special or express statute law pointing out the crime or the punishment; they have been tried under a sort of constructive law, and the Judge may punish them as little as a small fine of a xpence each, or as great as two years in the State prison. This trial will put an extinguisher on all prize fights in this neighborhood—and we trust that the Legislature will now pass a law, clearly defining the offence and the punishment, not only on this sub- ject, but also onthe matter of duels and duelling, whether by fists or pistols. It will be recollected that all the prisoners were se- conds or accessories to the fight—the principal, Lil- ly, is now in Englard, having escaped in the George Washington packet ship, in which he arrived in Li- verpool on the 30th October. On the same day, as we learn bya private letter, Lilly was arrested by the police of Liverpool—but as there was no de- mand made for him by the American Secretary of State, under the late treaty, the authorities could not detain him in custody. He is yet liable to be arrested in any part of the English dominions, and all that is required is a requisition for that purpose from Mr. Webster. But who will take the trouble? As we got up a petition for our friend Col. Webb, for that duel, we shall now get up a petition for the prize fighters, for some amelioration of their pun- ishment. Let us try. Step up and sign, with a pro- viso that no more such scenes are enacted—and that Sullivan and all shall reform hereafter. he Austin, (Texas) Gazette pub- lishes the treaty of peace entered into between Messrs. Stroud, Williams and Durst, Commission- ers on the part of that Republic, and the Caddoes, Trontos, Boluxies, and Nadargoes, through their se. veral chiefs. The treaty was brought about by the expressed desire of these tribes for peace. FourrHer rrom Texas.—Galveston papers of the 16th inst. have been received. They contain no news about recent military movements in the repub- lic. Congress was to convene in a called session at Washington, onthe Ith inst. It would then be de- cided by that body whether or not Mexico should be invaded by the Texians. The amount of duties received atthe Galveston custom house, during the quarter ending Oct. 31, was $17,335. From Jamatca.—By a latearrival at New Orleans from Jamaica, we learn that all was quiet there up in the middle of this month. ‘Myalisa” as it was termed, had fallen into the sere and yellow leaf by reason of prompt action on the part of the authori- ties. The people of Jamaica, however, had no confidence in any of the colored population. All American productions were a drug at Kingston— flour $7 a barrel. The sugar crop would be the largest known for ten years. Sream Suir Great Western.—The Great West- ern, from New York, for Liverpool, was seen 18th inst. 5 P. M., Nantucket South Shoal north 18 Mr. Clay, nor Mr. Van Buren, nor Mr. Calhoun, nor Mr. Tyler, nor any other man seems to possess those elements of popularity, historical and personal, capable to create a general movement of the masses. Bat the movement now for the first time, made in Pennsylvania, looks more like the real spirit of the people than any thing we have seen of late. In that State, ard in ‘that wi lid the names of Jackson and Harrison come up and carry all before them. Is not this popularimpulye begun for Lewis Cass of the same kind 2—tending to the same result ? We shall not pronounce the decision yet—1e will wait and see. We are informed, however, that a series of similar popular movements will be made in succession in every large town and State capital inthe nation. The next one will probably be in Cincinnati. General Cass is coming home, and will hereafter reside at Cincinnati, Ohio. Inevery point of view this movement is impor- nt. General Cass is a soldier, a statesman, a phi- losopher, 2 American, a republican, and has always been attached to the principles of the democratic party, without running to ultraism on one side, or proscription on the other. He isa liberal, elevated, tnd mest accomplished man—and has the real Ame- rican e greater ments of true popularity about him, ina ree than any man now living, with the single exeeption of General Jackson. His public services, both military and civil, are of the highest —his character is unstained—his mind of the most elevated degree. Inshort, he is the very man that could, with proper attention and effort, be carried into the Presidency, with a universal shout of acclamation During the coming session of Congress, we have no doubt but the members will principally employ their time in! president-making instead of law- making. That body is divided into four or five clues, each with its own’candidate—Ist, Clay; 2d, Van Buren ; 3d, Calhoun; 4th, Tyler; 5th, Scott, &e. &c. We believe ,that General Cass has not a siogle supporter in the present Congress. This is, however, a fortunate circumstance for his chances hereafter. This circumstance only gives him a greater popularity among the people. If the people if the niasses—if the popular assemblages allover the country, take up a man, so eminent, so pure, so so traly American in heart as he has al- ways shown himself, he will walk over the course— bring out the whole vote, varying from 3,000,000 to 4,000,000 in 1844, and be the active means of re- storing peace, repose and prosperity to the country, such as we have not seen tor a long time. The resent cliques and their candidates have only added to the shame of the national character, by their violence, abuse, and corraption, while their public duties have been utterly neglected. It is time to turn over a new leaf. The present Congress can and will do nothing. Theyare too much under the influeace of party malevolence and party rancour. Letthe movement for General Cass then go ahead, and see what it may bring forth. Call public meetings in everytownand county of the State and of the Union. Go ahead, boys. The youth and en- thusiasm of the whole country can be brought out if you desire-—and all the old hackneyed politicians who have covered the land with disgrace, disease, and defaleation, should stand back, and let better men take their place. ONE HUNDRED THOU- SAND copies of this day's Herald will be published, and sent all over the Unionto begin the great and pop. ular movement. Hurra! Wenn’s Casr.—We gave in our yesterday’s paper, and to-day in the Exrra, all the particulars of the sentence of Webb, which was to two years in the State Prison. We really think that this business has gone far enough. We owe no favors or good feeling to Webb, for seven years past, but we think the Go- vernor ought to put anend to the suspense, and pardon the poor fellow atonce. We could give reasoas enough for it—but there is no necessity. Webb has now a wound in the leg that he will carry tothe grave. Is not this, in the uame of all that is ealied justice, quite enough of punishment? miles—blowing heavy from northwest. It will be recollected that she left here at noon on the 17th, and that during that night experienced one of the most tremendous gales of the season. According to the above the noble steamer went through it bravely and safely. Sream Suir Acapra will leave Boston next Thurs- day for Halifax and Liverpool. Oratorio To-nigut.—The New York Sacred Music Society produce the grand oratorio of The seasons this evening at the Tabernacle. This sa- cred drama by Haydn is one of the most sublime things of the kind ever performed, and the two hun- dred and fifty members of the society will do full justice to its merits. This is the commencement of a series of oratorios to be performed by the Sacred Music Society this winter. They have abolished the sale of tickets, and now receive subscribers at five dollars for the series, each subscriber being entitled to three tick- ets to every performance. This is a capital plan. Theatrical—Musical, Tue Branams.—These distinguished vocalists, father and son, arrived in town yesterday morning, from Albany, after a very profitable tour of seven months around, by Cincinnati, Cleveland, De- troit, and Montreal They give a concert at the Society Rooms on Thursday evening, previous to the.r departure to the South. They will probably visit New Orleans, [Havana, and the West Indies, during the approaching winter, and return to Eng- Jand in the spring, by one of the British West India steamers. E : Vath Nacet —This eminent violinist, is now in town, but declines giving any concert, in consequence of the death of one of his family in Stockholm. He will probably proceed south for a few months. Max Borrer.—This artist has now given three concerts—the two last of which were well attended, His last at the Tabernacle was fashionably attended. His powers on the violoncello are unrivalled. Orera at ThE Parx.—On Saturday the opera sea- son at the Park closed, with the Barber of Seville, and part of Somnambula. These operas have not been so productive as had been expected. “ Mo- ses in Egypt,” was well attended at first, but fell off latterly. The vocalists that have been engaged there are only of ordinary merit, and are unequal to operas of the first class. Mrs. Seguin i a good mu- sician,neat and sweet voice, and sings ordinary sages very well. In the grand cavarina in the ber, beginning “ una voce poco fa,” she fails entirely. Shrivall has a sweet tenor, butis without Tn bak a the character of Almaviva he failed—both in the music and acting. He has no style—is no actor—is cold and tame,and only sings ordinary passages cor- rectly and sweetly. Seguin is the only real good vocalist in the corps. He has a capital voice, and manages it with skill and judgment. Latham, with- out a voice, yet managed, by his racy genius and ererlasting bustle, to be one of the most capital Figaros we ever saw—even better than young Garcia in Madame Malibran’s time. On the whole, the Park management is either untortunate or don’t seem to understand their business, or the age. There is much musical talent among us, but the Park seems always to make the worst selections, as if they offered a premium for the worst artists. Cxirocraruy.—We call the attention of the hu- man race and the next generation, to the advertise- ment of the celebrated writing master, Bristow, who is the Napoleon of chirography in both hemispheres. All others are only pupils—he is the master mind. “Lyine Oractes.’’—This is the very complimen- tary name given by the Rev. Mr. Anthon to the newspapers. We beg leave to say that the newspa- pers have told as much truth as ever the clergy did, frem the highest Bishop down to the lowest parson. fg Tux Curtous Revo.vtionary Triat will be fiven to-morrow. {i Axorner Evorement will come off in a day or two, Wearner.—Quite cold yesterday—quite windy— quite clear—quite dusty.

Bexnerr, Esq. :-— The Herald of this morning has just arrived, con- taining the charge of Judge Ruggles, delivered to the jury last evening, in the case of Sullivan, Me- Cleester, and Kensett, as also the verdict of the jury —manslaughter in the four.h degree. The astonish- ment here expressed at the enterprise of the “ le- rald,” in thus providing the public with the result of this interesting trial, one day in advance of all the other papers in New York, is nut more general than Tpresume it isin your city. The charge, as repor- ted,has been pronounced by all the members of the bar who were present, as well as Judge Ruggles himself, to be in his precise language, and reflects great credit upon your untiring industry and fearless regard of expense, to gratify the numerous readers of the popular * Herald.” Such was the eager desire to see the contents of this morning’s paper, that ] am told a gentleman was called upon to read it aloud in one of the Harlem Railroad cars, while going from your city. Such enterprise and public spirit o” your part, will certainly receive its full reward. The Prize Fight cases will be continued on Tues. day, and among the first that will be called is that of Dr. Cauldwell, who attended the combat between McCoy and Lilly merely as a spectator, but who, strange to say, has been indicted as a principal. Doctor C. is one of the most eminent of his profes- sion, and has seen and performed much service asa surgeon in the English army, in which he acted professionally for many years. It has been asserted that he might possibly have avoided an indictment, had he vowed ignorance of his own profession, but sooner than do this we know he would remain in the State prison till doomsday. He possesses great talents and ability as a surgeon, and as a man, none who know him but respect and esteem him for his private virtues and social accomplishments. Attorney. General Barker has left, and will not be engaged in the other causes, ‘his duties before the Court of Errors, at Albany, requiring his attention. District-Attorney Nelson, aided by John Jay, Es., will manage the remaining causes on the part of the prosecution. The prisoners will not be sentenced until the end of the term, which will probably close this week. ‘The impression is that they will each receive asen- tence of at least six months imprisonment in the county prison, with a fine,in addition, and no doubt the court istelf, with the Attorney General, will unite in a petition to the Governor for pardon of two of the prisoners. Public opinion appears to be decidedly set in tavor of such punishment as will prevent such scenes in future, but we hear none de- sirous of the penalty extending to imprisonment in the State prison. The instant they are sentenced, I shall send you the result by most expeditious ex- press. So look out! The Jury in the case of Sullivan, McCleester and Kensett, we understand, on going out were three for acquittal and the remainder divided between a conviction for manslaughter in the second and fourth degrees. They finally, after nearly four hours consideration, concluded upon the verdict as sent to you last evening. I have to return my thanks to Messrs. De Forrest and Lewis, of this town for the promptitude in arranging every thing for the immediate communication of the result of thistrial, in accordance with my directions. The latter is my worthy host, and he deserves the name as well as his attentive partner and industrious and active attendants, inclnding his pretty and round faced daughters. Let any one coming here certain- ly stop at Lewis’s. An interesting case of assault and battery, arising from an attempt to separate man and wife,comes off to-morrow, which I shall report in full. The par- ties are among the bon ton, and the particulars are rich and racy. Astrong prejudice has been recently excited here against those concerned in the Prize Fight, by the circulation of a pamphlet entitled *The Life of Coy,” in which are contained the mtost ridiculous and wilful misrepresentation of facts that could possibly be imagined by some crazy headed idiot. ‘The impression is. therefore, that some of the other trials will be postponed until another term. The Herald is all the go here, and if you should publish the trial with the admirable charge of Judge Ruggles, and the verdict, a demand for thousands would follow. P. S.—John Winchester is here in prison, and will probably be tried this week for his participation in the Prize Fight. The Navy. t New York, Nov. 27, 1842." . G, Benverr, Esq. :— Sir:— In the Herald of syne noticed an editorial article reflecting upon the SA ped the Navy for having appointed Commander F. Buchanan to the Vincennes, and Lieutenant Geo. P. Upshur to the command of one of the finest gun brigs in the ser- vice, thereby displeasing fifty-four Commanders and twenty eight Lieutenants. Permit me to remark that you have done the gentlemen referred to great injustice by the charge of partiality. It is not so; for the fact has long since been established that Judge Upehur’s sole aim and intent is ‘‘ the good of the service,” and I hope he ever will be upheld when he prefers merit and acknowledged talent to mere claims of years as standing on the Navy Register. I would not be understood as endorsing Mr. Pauld- ing’s ‘fantastic claims of rank,” but I do say, that officers of the same grade backed by long years of active service, with reputations that even the finger of suspicion never pointed at, have equal, if not para- mount, claims to a command in, preference to one who has no other recommendation than that “he has gone up regularly on the Register.” Sir, unless this principle is carried out, you would destroy all the pride and ambition of the juniors—all the esprit dw corps of the service: for what has a young and ardent officer to cheer him up bat the hope that if he distinguishes himself he will meet with his re- ward—what inducement, let me ask,has an accom- plished officer in the prime of life to soar above the dull routine of ‘* keeping a watch” or shirking orders to attend to private attairs? +None—Take from the younger portion of the Commanders and Lieuten- ants the hope of a command, and you will destroy the efficiency of the service. 7 Tdo not wish to draw improper comparisons be- tween officers, for I am well aware that many who have been passed over in the instance referred to, are an ornament to the service, but if all that con. stitutes the officer and gentleman, the high toned man of honor with twenty-eight years service in ac- quiring what all accord to him, the ‘‘finished sailor- man” was ever concentrated in one person, that one is “Franklin Buchanan.” Bits f Lieutenant George P. Upshur (albeit he is the Se- cretary’s brother) hasever been known as an active and gallant officer in his grade, with qualifications in his profession of the highest order, whose cha- racter and standing, both in the service and in pri- vate life has been the admiration of all who have ever had the pleasure of his acquaintance. I would here notice that he is seaior by ten to Lieutenant Oscar Bullus, now commanding the brig Boxer, and no one reflected on the Secretery when he received higorders. Every one is crying out that the Navy wants pra- ning, but whenever an attempt is made, thencom- mences a series of ‘‘growling,” income peed Yours, LUE JACKET. New York Election, 1842.

Gan, James Gonpon Benner :— Dear Sire :— *Your articles about the abuse of this country by the English press, in Wednesday’s paper, gave great satisfaction, and was read here with intense inter- est, Weare aware of the league between the spin- dle-shanked heroes of our broker’s board,and the un- worthy descendants of a once chivalrous race in England, and we fully know that a clique of literati who resort to writing principally because they can- not make a living at the bar, are ready to join cho- rus in any attack made on the !aws and institutions of our country. We appreciate in you the man who is willing to do us justice and to rebuke those who do us wrong, and we are thrice glad that you posress the ability to do it. Our press 1s foo genteel to engage any fight, and when on a hard push a few of the “Independents” resolve to give battle, they do it in the shape of a sermon. Mr Biddle goes on with his letters on the debt of Pennsylvania, but went in his vindication of the conduct of the States considerably beyond his re- cords. He garbled his facts with regard to the debts of the different States of Europe, and did not lay nearly enough stress on the fact that we have not, in the whole debt we owe, a single dollar of “bloo money.” Whoever lendsto a belligerent State runs a risk, which isin proportion to the chances of an unfortunate war, and the terms of the loan are gen- erally im accordance with those chances. Our States,on the contrary, have received more than $100 for $100 of their bonds, and no national cala- mity which has befallen us since will serve them as an apology for their Katte ag, And what does Mr. Biddle mean by proving that every State in Enrope has at some time or otherrepudiated. Is notthis the argument with which the repudiators tinge their puerile logic, and is this tribute paid to the vanity of our people, in good keeping with Mr. B’savowed professions? Already the repudiators have ararty in our State and call meetings here for the purpose of discussing the correctness of their principles, The party is as yet small; but it isa mov- ing one, and may acquire momentum. ‘The Van Buren nrstiag, on Thursday evening was numerous; but far from being brilliant. With the exception of Mr.Horn, our leading Democrats eschew the question of the Presidency for the present,though their principles and expectations are too well known to deceive the merest tyro in politics. Itcannot be doubted but that the Van Buren men form the great majority of the Democratic, party in the city and county of Philadelphia, but it is equally certain that their leaders, comprising Dallas, Wilkins, Page, Reed, Gilpin, &e. are without'the slightest influence in the interior. The leaders of the Democratic par- ty in our city bear precisely the same relation to the broad mass of the Democracy in the State, which your Whig leaders in the city of New York bear to the rank and file in your State—they are torever planning and designing, but lack the power of exe- cution. We have but three powertul men in Penn- aylvania, viz: Buchanan, Porter and Bohibabary. - Of these James Buchanan goes for himself, and then there remains but David R. Porter,our present gover: ner, and Henry A. Muhlenberg, the governor that is to _be, to exert any direct influence, both of whom, if lunderstand what is going on, are favorably dis- posed towards Mr. Tyler. 2 ‘ The Cass movement in Harrisburg is described as avery strong one, in a correspondence, published; but it is impossible, at this moment, to foretell where that movement will terminate. : On the Ist of January our Legislature are to meet. One of the first things they will do, will be abolishing our Court of Criminal Sessions, the only obstacle to which has been removed by _the resig- nation of Judge Barton. Some say the Recorder, already favorably known to your readers as “a gentleman having more curls outside of his head than. brains within,” is, on that occasion to be im- ached; I would ‘ask for what? Does the lack of egal acquirements, or of intellect in general, con- stitute a criminal offence? 1 cannot possibly doubt his honesty, because, as yet,he is young, and at- tribute, therefore, his singular want of popularity, which, at the last election, made him run 500 be- hind the lowest number of votes given to any man running on the same ticket, to his dabbling too much in politics, and too little in his profession. ‘‘Lendon Assurance” came off pretty well at the Walnut street theatre last evening. The house was nearly full, and the two Placides did their best. I do notlike Mr. and Mrs. Brougham’s performance inthat play. Both over act considerably, and seem to forget that a certain calm self-poss-ssion is the very. first requisite of good society. Mr. H. Placide, as Sir Harcourt Courtly, comprehends his part; but forgot it, and spoke too rapidly in the moralizing cant with which the piece concludes. Miss Cush- man’s talents are bettor adapted to high scenic per- formances than to the easy and familiar tournure of conversation, which is a distinct talent by itself, though by no means incompatible with dramatic enius. 8*Mr. ‘David Hoffman, of Baliimore, is in town, und last evening lectured on “dreams and visions.” He was very happy. Mr. H. is a gentleman of con- siderable literary taste, and, we understand, will soon be rewarded for his ‘‘ Harisoniana,” which is as yet in embryo, and was most assuredly a “vision,” by a foreign appointment. I wish him luck. Alexander’s trial will come on aext Monday. The devil take the stocks! A Looker On. Baltimore. (Correspondence of the Herald.) Bau timore, Nov. 26, 1842. The Cadets—Armory, §c. Dear Bennett :— The weather is foggy, business is dull, money is scarce, meetings and lectures are plenty, oystersare good, and the company at the Front street Theatre bad. There is considerable talk in town to-day about the set-to which occurred last Sunday, in con- sequence of one of the morning papers intimating that the affair would probably lead toaduel. Now! consider this ‘morally wrong, for in ail probability the parties themselves will hear a great deal said about it which may create in their minds a morbid sensi tiveness which may result ina challenge and accep- tance, and probably the death of one of the parties. I saw M— at the Musuem last night—-he appeared pleased with the music, and looked pretty ee natured despite his formidable black whis- ers. One of the pleasantest places in Baltimore to fend an evening out of the seven, is the armory of the Maryland Cadets, situated in Bahimore street, near North. I frequently sit there and see the compa- ny drill,and after drill listen to Bene byt he Deacon orsome of the glee club. This club is composed of amateur singers bel ng, to the coat and sing the Cadets’Glee and Bee’s Wing’and Fish,to per- fection, particularly when Pap’s about. Capt. Ropes isa gentleman anda scholar, and I may add the mee is fortunate in having him for a comman- der. I frequently hear from some of the members stories amusi ing and entertaining enough to be re- ported in the Herald, and shall endeavor at times to do so. This, by the bye is the ccmpany|who visited Boston last August, and your military readers in Boston, NewYork and Philadelphia will be pleased to learn that their guests of last summer are all well, happy, thriving, and have no notes to pay—that they are at present getting upa military ball, the tickets to be very limited, to which | have no doubt they will invite all those who treated them so kind- ly while away from home. Wa I looked in at the Maseum last evening; it was Mr. Peale’s first night—he opened with a concert and had quite a numerous audience—the music was 80-80, some good, some bad. Mr. Peale was to me all politeness and affability, and I here take the op- Reranity of recommending all strangers visitin; ‘altimore to call and examine the Museum, us it is almost the only place of public amusement we have, and is -vell worthy a visit. Mr. Levine lectures on temperance to-night and has particularly invited the Vigilant Fire Company to attend—he seys their good behabiour on their late visit to Philadelphia is a subject of general re- mark in that cit . The Cat Tail Band, an amateur musical associa- tion, have a meeting to-night, under the direction of Mr. Albert Holland, tor practice. Mapame Cetesre arrived here yesterday in the steamer Caledonia from Boston, the steamer being detained, owing to the weather. This cele- brated danseuse, a number of the passengers, the captain and officers of the steamer, dined at the Halifax Hotel, with Charles H.

K. Brown, Esq. (Phiz ) We have received two copies of this work, on an illustrated octavo edition, by D. Appleton & Co.; the other, a number of the Brother Jonathan, by Wilson &Co. The work 1s an origins! American Novel, and was first published in the pages of the monthly magazine, “Arcturus.” It appears to be an imitation of Dickens’ style, and like uli other imi- tations, 1t will be found to fall short of the original One of the strong points on which authors of this class of works rely to give interest to theirtale, is the selection of strange, uncouth, ugly, and ridicu- lous names. Boz’s works are an illustration of this. So in Mr. Matthews’ Putter Hopkins, we find such name as follows, ruoning all through the work :— The hero himself is named Pufler Hopkins; then we have Hobbleshank, Flyer Close, the Bottom Club, Fagfire Hall, Hetty Lettuce, Cramp, Mr Blinker, Mr. Ishmael Small, Alderman Punchwind, Aunt Gatty, Nick Finch, Mr. Cutbill, Epaminondas Cobb, Mr. Gallipot, Mr. Smutch, Mr. J. Q. R. Sloat, Mr. Fob, Mr. Mouldy, Fanny Sammis, Ambrose de Grand Val, &c. S&e.; and in the way of newspa- pers, we have the Western Thundergust, the Junk Bottle, (Busts, Mare Antony Daggers, Flabby & Co. are the editors,) the Potomac Trumpet, the Nauvoo Bludgeon, the Puncheon, the Bladder, Xe. Nearly all the names in the volume are of this class, and we have been somewhat liberal in our samples, in order that the reader may have before him what the author seems to rely upon as the cream of all the wit in the book. We have found it impossible to get through with thegwhole volume, but have read enough to discover that the author is strongly in favor of a natonal copyright law, and of course dumps a whole ouptltiad oF ridicule upon the news- boys who sell Brother Jonathans,New Worlds, &c. And yet with a singular inconsistency, he has pub- lished this very work itself as an extra Brother Jo- nathan, by way of experiment, as he says, to ascer- tain how far agencies which have driven foreign works into a wide circulation through the Union, would avail with American authors. We can as- sure Mr. Matthews that his work will stand or fall on its own intrinsic merits, and that an American public will neither buy it nor avoid it because its author isan American. There is no people in the world more willing than the Americans to award Justice to literature, whatever may be its latitudes and longitude Kriss Krinate’s Boox, or Saint Nicuoias’ Book, FoR ALL Goop Boys anp iris. Philadel- phia. Thomas, Cowperthwait & Co. This is very neat and beautitul volume of stories, il- lustrated with numerous cuts, intended, and well adapted for a Christmas present to good boys and girls. Among the stories we notice, “Good Gudule, the Faithful old Nurse,” “The eee “The German Faust,” “The Hut in the Wilder- ness,” “Taj Mahal Agrah,” and many other ‘‘Sto- ries,” all with beautitul engravings. We have no hesitation in recommending this as an elegant Christ- mas present. Partor Devotions, consisting of morning and evening Prayers, by Wilberforce, Toplady, Jay, Jenks, and Bickerstith.

Appleton §& Co., New York.—This number completes this valuable work. We have so often during the peoeras of these numbers spoken of the great value of this dictionary, that we can say little that is new on that point. Tt gives us pleasure, however, to inform the public that the whole work is to be re-issued in five monthly parts, of one dollar per part—or $5 in advance for the whole—the numbers sent by mail free of expense to the subscribers, as soon as they come from the press.

Gopey’s Lapy’s Boox.—Vol. 25, Dec. 1842.— I. Post, 88 Bowery.—It has three splendid engrav- ings. First, ‘‘ The Secret Discovered,” which is also the title of the first article in the book, by Mrs S.J. Hall. Second, “ ‘Temptation and Fidelity,” a beautiful mezzotint, with the Fashion plate. The contents are by Mesdames Hall, Ellet, Farly, Hentz, Fairman, Messrs. N. Pr Willis, Bird, Ar- thur, and others. It is useless to say anything of the character of articles by such authors, and in such a book. Granaw’s Lapy’s anp Geyturman’s Macazine for December, 1842.—J. Post, 88 Bowery.—This number contains three elegant engravings. We think “Awaiting the Husband’s Return,” a mezzotint by Sadd, is a beautiful thing, although we should like it better if the wife were seen to be a mother also. “The Pastor’s Visit” is a_very happy conception. The contents are by J F. pgone, + C. Bryant, J. H. Mancen, Walter and Geo. H. Colton, Mr and Mrs. Seba Smith, Mrs. Ann S. Stephens, and others of that stamp. Mr. Cooper’s article is a biography of the celebrated Richard Dale, the Lieutenant of the Bon Homme Richard. Tur Lapy’s Wor.p or Fasnion, ror DeckmpER, Vow. I, No.6 —I.

Hull, engraved on steel expressly forthis work. This is without ex- ception one of the most beautiful mezzotints we have ever seen. You never fe tired of regaling upon its richness. Next are the Fashions for De- cember, representing winter costumes, hats, man- tles, carriage dresses, &c; As to the other fiterary merits of the book, they will be found of much the same order with the works already noticed. Empevtisuments.—We here make a_ passing re- mark on the embellishments of these periodicais. It may be thoughtthat we notice them too particularly. We have several reasons for doing so. The pub lishers are at great pains and enormous expense in procuring them. With many persons, and justly too, they constitute the chief attraction. We know a young lady of excellent taste and judgement who always cuts out the engravings as soon as the maga- zines come to hand, and carefully lays them away in her porte fewille, while the rest of the magazine is left to its fate. She says she can get excellent read- ing of all kinds in the library, but not handsome en- gravings. 0G The Amphitheatre continues in the ascendency, and always will while it keeps up the life nd spirit that has distinguished it sincethe opening of the season. Pro- bably no novelty ever offered met with the success of Mons. Guillot, the Herculean hero. His almost superhu- man feats of strength completely astound the beholder, and makes him doubt the evidence of his own senses. He is to give a new series of exploits this evening. There is no humbug or trickery in any of Guillot’s performances.

Webb since he has resided at the Tombs,with all the attendant circumstances of the arrest of Milford Millbanks, the negro who w suspected of murdering him, the bloody hatchet found at his house, and the very blood upon his clothes. Yet after all, Millbanks is believed to be still free of the crime of murder, and Brown is not yet adead negro. Yes. terday a gentleman named Wright, well acquainted with | Brown, called at the Police, alter reading the account of Brown’s mysterious disappearance in the Herald, and stated, that on Friday afternoon he saw him on board of one of the Boston boats, just previous to her leaving the | wharf, which was no uncommon occurrence, as he fre- | quently had business on board most of the steamboats ply- ing between this city and Boston, Philadelphia, &c. ‘This renders it certain that Brown did not go out to his establishment near Yorkville, on Friday, as he Intend- ed, and it is probable that the | oat on board of which Mr. Wright saw him, shoved off from the wharf without his knowledge, and that he was thus obliged to teke a trip to Boston against his will, and will probably be at home agaiv before night. Millbanks is still in the tombs on the charge. He was very drunk when arrested, and now accounts for the blood found on his clothes, the hatchet, and about the pre- mises, by saying that he was attacked with bleeding at the nose, and being drunk was not particular where it fell. Morpex anv Svicrpe.—A rencounter took place be- tween some Germans, at 53 Washington street, in which several persons were stabbed, and one man injur- ediin the head so badly that any chance of his recovery was hopeless, The perpetrater of the horrid deed, named William Moses, was arrested, and on being searched, a dirk and razor were foundon him. He was then convey- ed to the Franklin market watch house, where he was tied by the hands to the grating. He had not been there many minutes, when he contrivedto cut the rope with his teeth, and hung himself from the bars of the grating. When discovered, Dr. Harris was immediately sent for, who used every effort to bring him to life, but in vain. Yesterday there were four fires in different e city, and two false alarms. The first brea out in a dwelling in Christopher street, about four ocr in the morning, and was extinguished without aie - much damage. The second broke out about half an hour afterwards, wooden building occu- pied as a estore, and was got under before doing much The third broke out in the dry good store of J. S. Beac! , 231 Greenwich street, at 10 o'clock, and was ex inguished before it had made ‘much progres but the goods were considerably damaged from the quan tities of water poured in by the firemen. The fourth oc- curred at the Commercial Hotel, in Courtlandt street, at twelve o’clock, and almost entirely destroyed the attic bad on roof of the building, before ‘it was extin- uished. . The mnging of the fire bells at two o’clock in the after- ‘noon, and again at three o’clock were false alarms. KiLtep ow THe Ratroap.—The Coroner, yesterday held an inquest on the body ofthe colore1 man, killed on the Harlem Railroad, on Saturday evening, as mentioned in yesterday’s Herald. It appears his name was Samuel Conover, and his age fifty years. He was seen on the track in a state of beastly intexication by the conductor of the train to this city between four and five o’clock,and the locomotive was stopped by the engineer,and he was warn. ed to keep off the track. On the return train going up from the City Hall, at 5 o’clock, it was dark, when they arrived at 7ist street, where the accident occurred, and he was not seen by the engineer until after he was run over, and the train stopped. The jury found that he was accidentally killed, &c. Sma Martens.—No business of interest was transact- ed by the Police yesterday, the operations of the entire body being confined tothe arrest of three loafers for trifling petit larceuies, one disorderly negro, and some four or five drunken males and females from the Five Points. Tempgrance.—The following is taken from the London Times of October 2lst, 1842. It occurs in aspeech of the most temperate man in England, the Bishop of Norwich :— Tue Tretorarens.—What I object to is their vio- lence, that they will not allow people to be sober their own way, so that if they will not follow, without devia. tion, their rules and regulations, they are denounced as traitors to the cause of temperance; nay, I have heard the whole body of the British and Foreign Temperance Society denounced as worse than drunkards. It is really a sort of paradox, for I am sure that you, my Lord, and every person in this room, has the greatest possible dis. like to intemperance in any shape; and it is, therefore, hard to be denounced, and I only regret that we are not in Exeter Hall with teetotallers around us; | shouldthen think myself justified in using such arguments as I thought fit against their exclusive system. They are temperate, certainly, but it is a physical kind of temperance; tem- perance does not consist in mere abstinence fro ™ cond th seen in teetotallists; they are characterized by t of moral intoxication, if we may so call it; when once their ns are excited they know no bounds, they irritate, oppose. and denounce, which is all foreign to the precepts and principles of the gospel. Again, there are certain fallacies in their arguments which ought to be exposed. ‘They object to anything containing alcohol. Then why don’t they object to sugar? Their common sense is at fault as well as their chymistry. In order to explain the mention of wine in Scriptures, they try to make out that it is unfermented wine, instead of perceiving that the great principle of Scripture i, (as might be illustrated by passages innumerable,) that it is the abuse, not the use of # thing in which sin lies. 1 think teetotallers are in some sort morally intoxicated upon this point ; and judgin from their conduct upon teo many occasions, 1 might al- most say they were laboring under a species of delirrum tremens. GG Of all places of public resort, combining valuable instruction with chaste and innocent amusement, com, mend us to the American Museum. It is the most exten. sive and best conducted establishment of the kind in Ame- rica. The performances this week by fourteen unrivalled artistes will insure the usual large and respectable audi ences. Winchell is decidedly the most original and hu morous comedian on the stage, and Booth, as a comic singer, hasno rival in America. Miss Hood is a beautiful actress and sweet singer ; Celeste has no equal of her age asa danseuse ; the Lilliput Family of ten performers are confessedly unsurpassed and unsurpassable. In fine, what- ever is presented there, is first rate—the manager being willing to make any pecuniary sacrifice rather than pre- sent second rate attractions.
