We have reason-to believe that we aheli-reasiee-t news some time this morning from Europe.

The conduct of he whigs in relation to a preventive police—to a system for cleaning the streets—to the meat mono- poly—to the fire department—has been so shuffling wad so dilatory, that it will be a relief when they shall be turned out of office. What have the whigs done for the public since, by the skin of their teeth, they came into power? Absolutely nothing, but re- he wages of afew pooremployés. Have they hed the meat monopoly? No. Have they stablished a plan to keep the city clean? No. Have they ve-organized the Fire Department, and placed it on a paid and efficient system? No. Have they established a day and night preventive police, to vent the constant thefts, rapes, murders and out- scommitting? No. No. No. None of these res have been adopted.

We h n to know exactly the character and talent of Major Noah, having been once associated w infor five or six years in the Courier and er. There is nothing more amusing to any 10 know the man thus intimately, than to hear the extravagant opinions expressed by some, rela- tive to Noah’s capacity for conducting « newspaper with energy and abgifty. Certainly, if we look at the results of his editorial management, and judge him by his own jworks, we must entertain a very diflerent, and more correct idea fof his talents. Noah has been connected with five or six papers luring his editorial career. Every one of them Every paper with which he has been connected died of a rapid decline, except the few tances in which he was got rid of before that ‘al event could oceur. Even now he is hard at work in the same business of newspaper assassina- tion. Unless Beach canget rid of him, the Sua, it 7 oroke down. is quite evident, must speedily set, and the Uniongo to the tomb of all the Capulets. Ne s one of the greatest pretenders ever con- ed witha newspaper. He is destitute of erudi- n—his education was originally defective—his nas been of the most desultory character— asinnocent asa babe of the principles of po- leconomy, or the science of government. He s capable only of writing a little paragraph, a thea- trical notice, and a pot-house puff; but fer the ma- nagement of a high-toned leading newspaper, he is utterly incompetent. Even in matters of business he islamentably deficient ; he knows as little about the management of pecuniary affairs as he does of the Hebrew language, and really cannot understand even the financial concerns of hisowa wardrobe. Tt is truly amusing to find such a man imposing on e philosopher now at the head of the go- oament—John Tyler—persuading him that he car- he whole democratic party of New York in his breeches pocket, and can manage them just as he rie <p To THe Wise.—All those who have any ef the paper money of the Ulster Manufacturers’ Bank, or of the Farmers’ Bank at Malone, would do well to bave it exchanged. Itis the safest way to keep no such money over night. The redemption shop is at Moses Y. Beach’s office of the Sun news- paper, southwest corner of Fulton and Nassau streets, opposite the Herald office. In these times accidents may happen in the best of families. Tur Mormons.—These people are still busy—but the Prophet Joe Smith is absent to some parts un- known—probably gone on a visit to Paradise. In consequence of the increase of his holy business, Joe has resigned the editorship of the “Times and Seasons,” into the hands of Brother Taylor, who is under the special inspiration of Gabriel. The Tem. ple is rapidly going up—a cargo of lumber having arrived from the Upper Mississippi to further the work. Peree tue Great.—A line Engraving in Col- man’s window this week, is an extraordinary work of art. It was imported for one of the best engra- vers in this country, at a cost of fifty dollars, who was one of the fortunate subscribers, they only be- ing furnished with proofs before letters, ‘ We learn that Mr. Colman is about to open one of his new stores directly under his Literary Saloon —to sell Books, Paintings and Engravings, upon the cheap cash plan, and where amnuals and stan- card literature may be had/upon similar terms. In. dastry and enterpise must prosper. tions of the depravity of ionally afforded by of- fenders, who, after having been embraced in the arms of mercy, instead of bringing forth fruits meet tor-repentance,become more than ever hardened in iniquity. In this class we are sorry to be obligedto include Colonel Webb. It will be recollected. that when this individual was sentenced to the State prisao,ta have his whiskers shaved, and his body, redopbtuble calf and all, clad in the disreputable wnitorm of Sing Sing, we generously stepped for- ward in his behalt. Although many years at war with us, we felt for Webb, in the hour of his calam- ity; we got uptwo petitions in his favor, which re- ; ceived upwards of one thousand signatures, many of them being those of some of our most respectable citizens. We also sent him abox of the most fra~ grant cigars which Henriques, of 51 William street, could select from his splendid stock, but which the ungrateful culprit almost kicked into the street. All this tender regard, it should also be stated, was manifested by usat the very time when the Journal of Commerce and the Evening Post were bitterly ep posing poor Webb. Well, Webb got his pardon. He was restored to the possession of his civil rights, and set at liberty. But we are really grieved to find that all this disei- pline, and all this sympathy, and all this mercy have failed in improving the temper and disposition of this convicted subject. Indeed, it would seem that he is getting worse and worse. The other day we heard that he had been guilty of one of the meanest and most contemptible pieces of conduct which have ever elicited the reproof of honorable men. Itseems that Mr. Charles Braham went to the office ef the Courier, requesting the publication of aa advertise- ment, with the usual notice, of the concertgiven the other evening at the Society Library,and Webb actus ally refused to publish any notice of Mr. Braham- He had, he said, the highest opinion of Mr. Bra- ham’s talentsand respectability, but in consequence of Mr. Braham having had his advertisements and bills printed at the Herald establishment, Webb had determined not to notice him, nor any other persons who would give any thing to the Herald. Such is the despicable conduct of a man who makes the most high-sounding pretensions to gene- rosity and manliness. And all this in the face of our disinterested efforts to procure him a pardon.— Poor man ! it is quite evident that the ingrained in- stinet of malevolence and ingratitude cannot be era- dicated from his character. When pity, and sym- pathy, and active commisseration have failed to re- form him, there can be but little hope of reforma- tion. Procress or Mepicat Scrence.—There are now about three hundred and fifty medical students in this city, who are pretty fairly divided between the two schools. It is a most astounding fact, however, that of this large number of students, only eight had the other week taken tickets to attend the Hespital. This certainly shows that some reform is needed in the system of medical education. The College of Medicine and Pharmacy, under the auspiees of distinguished members of the medi- cal faculty, is meeting with extraordinary success. So great has been the increase of its business of late in the dispensary department, that the College have entered into an engagement with Dr. O’Regan, a member of the Royal College of Surgeons, London, who now takes charge of the pharmaceutical part of the business. This gentleman has the most flat- tering letters of introduction to Dr. Mott and others here, from the most eminent Professors in London and Dublin. All persons can now be furnished at the College with medical advice, free of charge,and the medicines gre dispensed at low rates. The sur geons of the college are also men of great eminence in that branch of the profession Altogether, medical science is progressing in this great metropolis. The union of men of real profes- sional talent and known respectability of character, which is presented by the several colleges,must soon effect an important revolution in the whole practice of the healing art. Mr. Brownson’s Lecrure Last Evenrne.—Ores- tes A. Brownson is one of the most celebrated of the new school of morals and philosophy. And he is not by any means a defective incarnation of the sect. He is obscure, dogmatic, pompous, and un- settled. Sometimes he seems to catch, in the far horizon, faint perceptions of the stable, common sense system of truth, but speedily loses the vision in the mists of transcendentalism and imaginative theories of the human mind and human nature. The class of philosophers, of which he is one of the lead- era, arrogate to themselves the merit of propound ing a new and more truthful system of ethics; but they are in reality only second editions of the schoolmen of the middle ages, the products of whose laborous trifling have been long since exvloded. The subject of Mr. Brownson’s lecture last even- ing at the Tabernacle, was “ The origin of Govern- ment, its organization and end.” A somewhat trite subject, but certainly one which is not yet sufficiently understood by the great mass of society. We will be much mistaken, however, if Mr. Brownson’s discourse, made the matter very clear to his audience. His chief aim was to establish the doctrine that civil government is not derivative, but primitive ; and that the idea that the individuals, composing society, have surrendered a portion of their rights to the hands of a few, for the purpose of securing the sate preservation of the remainder, 1s altogether a mistake. A great deal of ingenious sophistry was put forth by the lecturer throughout his discourse, and many truths almost universally known and admitted were uttered with oracular ye- hemence. Mr. Brownson dwelt at considerable length on the idea that no one individual can be re- garded as a proper representative of human nature —it required, he contended, a great mass of human beings to constitute an impersonation of human na- ture. Our space to-day is crowded, and we cannot, therefore, follow Mr. Brownson through his lecture. It was, by the bye, delivered in substance last winter at Clinton Halt. On another occasion we will return to this subject,and enter into a more close examina- tion of the\doctrines of Mr. Brownson and his fellow believers, than we can now attempt. The Taber- nacle, we may mention, was crowded. Brawam’s Concert.—The Mesers. Braham, fa- ther and son, had a very excellent concert last evening, at the Society Library Rooms. Mr. Braham, the father, is a most extraordinary man. The clearness, pathos, melody, strength and beauty of his voice, are equal yet to his best days. In almost every song, he was rapturously encored, and in “Bruce’s Address,” which closed the concert, he was cheered with enthusiasm. The climate of thiscountry seems to have made him young again. Mr. Charles Braham has very much improved since we lastheard him. In the duett of “Gallop on Gaily,” we could hardly distinguish between the father and son, so full and clear were their voices. Miss Augusta Browne played the introductions, and gave several brilliant touches of execution and fine taste. Mr. Braham announced that on Friday evening, his son, Mr. Charles Braham, would give a concert for his benefit. We have no doubt this benefit will be brilliantly attended. Charles is quite a young man, of great natural powers, very sedulously culti- vated under the tuition of his illustrious father—and is besides a young gentleman of the most amiable and engaging qualities. We trust that an effort will be made by his friends to give him a truly splendid benefit—the first he has ever been up for on either side of the big waters. Wipows Basserr axp Kino.—Our subscription list for the benefit of these widows will close to- morrow morning. We trust that the benevolent will open their purse in the meantime. Let them think of the cold winter and the poor unfortu- nates. Trick Wivrer Mantix.—Snow is from one to two feet deep inthe northern and western part of this State [Correspondence of the Herald.] Congress is again in session. At 12 this morning both Houses assembled, and after the transaction of some unimportant business in the House, adjourned. The Senate was without a quorum, and could not consequently take up the joint resolution from the House for the appointment of a committee to wai! uvon the President of the United States, so that we shall not have the Message until to-morrow, when a quorum will undoubtedly be present. ‘We shall have another general fight,| tear,between the northern and southern fanatics on the subject of slavery, as Mr. Giddings is back brim full of fire and fury. Indeed, it seems necessary to the success of certain political leaders from both extremes of the country, that an agitation should be kept up on this question, as it makes excellent political capital for them to work with at home. Mr. Everett, of Ver mont, this morning gave notice that it was his in tention to offer a resolution to rescind the 2Ist rule, forbidding the reception of Abolition petitions,which will be the opening of the scene, so that we shill have all the southern chivalry inarms. __ Ajoint resolution was formed this morning by the House for the appointment of two Chaplains to Con- gress, of different dermominations, and as there is quite a supply of reverend office seekers on hand, you may expect to hear of quite an amusing contest. An on dit was in circulation yesterday, which seems pretty well founded,that Mr Calhoun is about resigning, and that Mr. McDuffie will be elected in his place—a singular movement, and one that cau only be accounted tor on the =p ition that Mr. Calhoun is determined to be, at all acini. a candi- date for the Presidency. ‘ It is reported in this city to-day, that a special mes- senger has arrived from Mexico in Missouri steamer, who brings word that all our difficulties with that power have been arranged. To the Mexi- can scrip holder there is one important point of in- telligence, viz:—that the Mexicans agree to take them up forthwith. How much truth there is in the report, I cannot say, but I consider it worthy of at- tention, as [ derived it from pretty good authority Theatricals, de. Mr. Branam’s Concert went off with great eclat last evening. The concert room was filled with a highly respectable and delighted auditory. The Brahams sang with great power and effect, and Mr. Charles Braham maintained the high reputation he has acquired ;—the duet ‘Gallop on Gaily,” was well sung and enthusiastically received. ‘Stand to your Guns,” was sung by Mr. Braham in a very brilliant style, and the fine song “« Mc.Gregor’s Ga- thering,” elicited much applause. Tue Parx.—This house was well attended. The new piece entitled “‘Alma Mater,” is a noisy, bus- tling affair, and seems to take favorably. The wit is often rather equivocal, but altogether the piece is tolerable enough. Mrs. Brougham played with great spirit. Billy Williams, as the “Boots at the Swan,” was very well received, and deservedly so. Cuarnam Tueatre.—* Norman Leslie,” having made a decided hit, will be repeated this evening, tor the benefit of Miss Emma Ince, and Mr. and Mrs. Bennie, the elegant dancers, being the last night of their engagement. The successful drama of “ Adriani, the Brigand,” is also announced, and, together with the charming dances that are offered, must secure an overflowing house. The perform- ances last evening were for the benefit of Mr. Charles Mestayer, and the house, as we predicted, was crowded to the ceiling. Literary Inrgiiicence.—The Langleys have in press another edition of Norman’s splendid work on Central America. A great deal of attention has been recently awakened with respect to the antiqui- ties of America and Egypt. We have had a succes- sion of works devoted to these interesting subjects ; and now Mr. Gliddon announces a series of lec- tures on Egyptian antiquities, and he will probably be followed by Messrs. Stevens and Norman, on Central America. Mr. Cooley is also again in the field with another edition of his very amusing work. The whole learned world is earnestly occupied with the examination of those monumental remains of remote ages, and there can be no dcubt that much light will be cast onthe connection of sacred and profane history. Navigation To ALBaNy.—It is said that the son isopen to Albany It might have been Monday night, but we doubt if it is now. night was too cold for that. City Intelligence, Brrr ron tHe Aums Hovse.—Butchers wishing to sup- ply the Alms House with beef for two years, must make proposals this week to the Commisssioners. Broapway Cortace.-~The Mayor, with Alderman Cro- lius, have given Dingler, the proprietor of the Broadway Cottage, next door tothe Masonic Hall, where the rape was committed on Saturday night, notice to show caus, this day why the license of the place shall not be taken from him. Dingler is now in prison on charge of the Tape. Suenivr Hanr returned to this city yesterdav morning from Syracuse, and appeared before the Colt committee last evening. The proceedings and conclusions of this committee will be given to the public at the meeting of the Common Council, on Monday next. - Joint Battot.—Both Boards of Aldermen meet in joint ballot this evening at 5 o'clock, when a police magis. trate is to bechosen in place of Justice Palmer, a police clerk,‘in place of William Callender,and a clerk ofthe sth, 8th, and 14th ward court, in place of Peter Lee, the pre- sent incumbents. The impression is that the gentlemen now holding the offices will be re-elected. Straw Bait.—A reference tothe reported proceedings of the Court of Sessions,will show the public the abuse of the bailing system as practised before our Criminal Courts. No less than a dozen cases inone day become forfeited, and not adollar is probably collected, while the cost to the tax-payers is not less than fifteen or twenty dollars in each case. How long shall these thinge be? Where is the man that went bail for Stent, the bigamist? PockeTixe THe Sroi.s.—Mr. George W. Seelye, of the corner of Water and Corlaer streets, entrusted a youn man, named Edward Chapman, with $18 to pay toa thi person, which he appropriated to his own use, and cut stick. He was arrested yesterday, and committed to an- swer the charge of constructive larceny. Femate Picxrocxet.—A young country buck, named Daniel Corson, from Islip, L. L., came so Close in contact with one Fanny Williams, on terpenes A evening, that she relieved his ey of $7,in good bank notes,which bein, ad, he entered complaint at the police, 2 Fanny was locked up for trial. Mone Covsrenretrens Cagont.—Officer sili, ot the upper police, has succeeded in bringin justice within the post few days, aman nemed fons D. Sweet, who has resided at the cornerof East Broadway and Catherine street, and who is supposed to be one of the principals of one of the gangs of counterfeiters that infest our city. On searching his premises, he found a package containing one hundred $2 counterfeit bills, purporting to be of the Otsego County Bank. de has also arrested a man be saab pense and Neng ee} and found te $90 of thesame kind of money in their possession. These sons, with Bilas Deane, an old vender of bad money, do. seph Dilks, andason of Dean, named Ransom, have all been safely closeted in prison within the past few days, by the industry and ex of this valuable officer, aided by officer Parker, of the w police. The arrest of Deane and Dilks was published yesterday. Struck sy an Evernant.—-Ye morning, as Mr. Charles Howes, of the Bow Amphitheatre, was standing near the elephant belonging to the establish- ment, some one of the attendants who was whitewashing, undertook to urge the elephant to move trom the side of lud- on the building, and resorted to the use of the pitchfork for that purpose, when the animal seized Mr. Howes in his trunk, and threw him with immense force against the wall, ca if such serious LS that his life was des- paired of in the afternoon. trample upon him,when the by the hind legs, and attracted his attention until the in- mates rushed in and withdrew the injured man fromthe enraged beast.

On inquiry, I learned that they were digging a live horse from beneath the centre of the street, and, indeed, such was the fact. It ap- pears that a butcher boy was driving a horse and cart, (owned by Mr. Morris Haight, of Clinton Mar- ket,) through I street, about six o’clock in the evening, and a about 24 or 26 inches equare, gave way, as orse’s hindmost feet trod on it, and down the horse went, taking the harness with him and leaving the boy and cart above Perhaps f re that Hag ry tong Ea ite street, through Centre to Canal thence iver.

The resolution authorises the payment of $10,250 to the Asses- sors; and the question asto what extra pay should be giv en them for 1842 was discussed. ‘The above sum is what they received in 184) at first, being $300 for each Assessor, eacerting Se two in the 12th ward, who regeive $325 each, The were afterwards paid the total amount of $18,750.

(Correspondence of the Herald. } Pumavetrsia, Dec. 6th, 1842. Gen. James Gorpox Benner :— Dear Si, ‘The opera commenced last evening with La Som- nambula. It was the first full house since the com- mencement of the season, and in fact the only re- spectable one since the days of Mr. and Mrs. Wood, and the stolid lectures of Dr. Dyonisius Lardner, F.R.S. LL.D. The dramatis persone consisted first of Mrs. and Mr. Seguin, and secondly of Mr. and Mrs. Seguin ; the tenor, Mr. Shrival, being half soprano, half baritone, harsh, screaming and hucky in his deep notes, so as to drown every other voice, and scarcely audible in the falsetto; consequently a sort of nondescript, which I will endeavor te more particularly study, and in a subsequentletter. Mrs. Seguin is, allow me to be a little enthusiastic, an accomplished artist, in the real sense of the word. She sings with great expression and feeling, and is,remarkably correct in her acting. The fact is, a singer on the stage ought never to forget that he is engaged in a musical drama, and that his actions must correspond with the senti- ments his voice isto convey the audience. Mrs, Seguin, it is evident, has a highly correct apprecia tion of this truth, and was so successful last evening that at the conclusion of the opera, she was loudly called for; though her and her husband's modesty carried the tenor between them. Her voice is one of considerable scope, though not equal to Mrs. ‘Wood in her palmiest days, but her mezza voce is as delightful as that of any woman I ever heard. She manages her voice admirably—a thing which I can scarcely say for Mr, Seguin, and still less for Mr. Shrival, and it appears to come so directly from her heart, that you cannot help admiring her. Mrs, Sextin has a marked, sprightly, un-English face highly capable of expressing emotions, thin, but well turned shoulders, a very pretty throat, and is exceed- dingly graceful in all her motions. _1t was indeed re- freshing to gaze on her, especially in the second act, which requires great skill in attitude not to appear ludicrous, if not worse. Some of the best yee actresses, as for instance Miss Ellen Tree and Miss Faucit, have but little command over their feet and toes ; but after watching Mra. Seguin for more than an hour attentively, I could not discovera single step which was not in good keeping with her digni- fied bearing throughout. The only thing I disliked wasthe seuffle for the wedding ring, which was too rude not to excite a disagreeable feeling in the au- dience. Mr. Seguin’s part was scarcely capable of bringing him out. He is a noble base; but on a inch must do fora baritone, I presume. I will see iow well he does as Fi ys .. Miss Coad made her debut as Liza ; but as Ideem it charttable not to say too much of her, my notice of her talents must brief. She has a small voice, which, however, seems to be capable of considerable ‘cultivation, Her part was evidently above her power, and her motion so remarkably stiff that she, at tumes, excited laughter. { would advise her above all things, to turn her toes out and to gesticulate, if she thinks proper, with both arms instead of one, and that not in the telegraph fashion (at right enules), but, if possible, a little more cir- cular. Nothing appears so awkward on the stage as a woman full of corners ; instead of embracing, she always seems to elbow her lover. Miss C.’s corsage too, wanted “fixing,” and there were two pretty French milliners not far from the stage box who might do that thing for her admirably. The orchestra did well, but was not as powerful as we saw itin Norma. ‘The chorusses passed off se so; but the figurants did their best by showin, themselves. They were very prettily dressed, ani there were faces and forms among them that might have shaken the saintship of an anchorite. Philadelphia. {Correspondence of the Herald. Pamapetruia, Dec. 6, 1842. Dear Bennerr :— All the testimony in the case of M. J. Alexander, charged with the murder of Lougee, was finally got through with this morning, when a summing up of the evidence was commenced by Deputy Attor- ney Porter, ina powerful speech, whichhe had not concluded at 2 o’clock, when the Court adjourned until 4 P. M. The excitement increases instead of diminishing, and the greatest speculation imaginable is afloat as to the probable result. Of this, however, nine- tenths of the community believe, will be the ac- quittal of the prisoner. Last evening the Court was obliged to adjourn at an earlier hour than usual, in consequence of the illness of a Juryman! Omi nous. The speeches of Gov.Pope and the Hon. Geo. M. Dallas are looked for with wonderful avidity— they will have the most powerful Lied upon the minds of the jury—far more so, than all the evi- dence itself ! e Attorney General Johnson, isan able and talented lawyer, but he has unfortunatel a very disagreeable manner of delivery, which fails to exercise the least influence, and not unfrequent ly disgusts those who are compelled to look at him. The prisoner has every advantage—in able and elo- quent ‘counse|—the plea of insanity—the. infamous character of the jury—and the favorable impression his youth and beauty, to say nothing of money, has made upon the minds of the thousands who have taken so lively an interest in the trial. He will be acquitted I again repeat. Moh he office of Sheriff still remains in the hands of the Coroner, but will most probably be filled on Sa- turday next by the Governor.

By areference to the proceedings of Congress, it will be pererived that Mr. Adame, a8 oni first day of the last session, has given notice of his inten- tion to submit a resolution to repeal the 2lst rule of the House, relating to the abolition of slavery ; and that Mr. Everett has also given notice that, on the first opportunity which shall be prea’ he will introduce a bill to repeal the krupt Law.— Madisonian, 6th inst.

ONE WORD OF CAUTION ON BLOOD-LET TING is a well known fact that and healthy blood is more limpid than impure or distased blood, there- fore, when a vein is o the most pure part of the blood flows from it, leaving behind the impurities with more room to increase their virulence ; if, then, by blood- letting we take a much larger proportion of healthy blood 1an we do of the diseased particles, do we not diminish the strength ofthe body, and render the system less able to Tid itself of the causes of impure blood than it was previ- ousto bleeding?
