NEW YORK HERALD. Awrut Tracepy mm CoLumsus, Georaia.—We have just received the particulars of a most tragical event, which has taken place in ( olumbus, Geor- We annex the two letters of our correspon- dents relating the particulars. We knew Col Hepburn well. He had a great deal of talent—some eccen- tricities—but was, taking him for all in all, an hon- orable man. Of General McDougald we have never heard aught against his character. What an awful result! New York, ‘Friday, January 13, 1843, = = = eae | RID, Swesrine tHe Streers py Contract —It is a well known fact, that the Corporation have, for seve- ral years, paid annually the enormous sum of about $140,000 for sweeping the streets of the city From this amount may be subtracted the annual sale of about $35,000 worth of manure ; thus leav- ing the netsum of at least $105,000 to be supplied from the revenues of the city, raised by taxation A streng suspicion exists with many well informed men, that this enormous sum of money has been expended and directed in some degree to promote party purposes. It has long been known, the jeb could have been safely put out to contract, for at least $20,000 less than the net amount annually paid by the city. The locofocos were in power, and refused to make a contract of any sort, and were suspected by the whigs of engaging, just before each election day, an extraordinary number of sweepers and other la- borers, in order to secure votes for the occasion. The whigs came into full power six months since, and soon after appointed a committee, with au- thority to make a contract. But, strange to say, no decided movement was made by them till after the late November election. 11 then appeared that the form of the contract required some modification, which was recently effected, and passed both boards, but has been vetoed by his Honor the Mayor. It has to lay over ten days before it can be taken up and repassed in Common Council. In the mean time, we see a most extraordinary movement has been made in the Legislature at Al- bany, by members of the locofoco party, to push through a law with railroad speed, intended to sus- tain the Mayor, and to limit, if not to prevent, the execution of any contract whatever. While all this party warfare is going on, the streeis remain dirty, and the people continue to be mulcted in the enormous expense incurred for Cor poration sweepings. Party spiritin some cases may be a very good thing ; but if its intrigues are annu- ally to cestthe city such heavy sums of money, it is well for the fact o be generally known. Suppose the whigs put out the contract, will they bestow it on the lowest best bidder? or on some men, or party, of political influence? If the locofocos prevent the whige from putting out the contract, and 'thus save something to the city, what do they expect to gain by it? Should they come back to power in the city councils, will they put it out to contract, and give it impartially to the lowest best bidder? We fear not. If neither party will attend to this street business, and will tax the people thirty or forty thousand dol- lars a year to aid mere party views, the people them- selves should endeavor to put their own, or a third party, in office, who will attend to their interest, and execute their demands. So far, all has been in- trigue and folly on this subject. The whigs are now inpower. Let them proceed, as soon as possible, to put out the contract, if only for a single year, on fairterms, and to a suitable con- tractor. At the end of the term, if they are re elected, they can renew the contract; and if they are defeated, the locofocos will not dare change the contract system back to the present expen- sive mode of street cleaning. Let them go ahead in doing what is right for the people, and a discrimi- nating public will sustainthem. If a dollar can be saved by cleaning the streets by contract, not a sin- gle day should be lost in making that contract. Cotumeus, Ga., Jan. Sth, 1848. J. G, Bennerr, Esq :— z - Knowing you are always anxious to receive the earliest news of the events of the day, I hasten to lay before you a catastrophe which has filled our city with gloom. It is the death of Col. Burton Hepburn, who was shot, and immediately expired, in anaffray with Gen. Danield McDougal this morn- ing, at half past 8 o’clock, at the counting room of the latter. The particulars which led to the occurrence of this tragical event, are briefly these:—Col. H. had some difficulty with Gen. McD. in the settlement of some old business, which resulted in mutual recrimi- nation of harsh language. The General was ino- mentarily expecting a challenge, when he yesterday received an anonymous letter, telling him to beware of Col. H., as he intended making an attack on him at sight, and that he must not venture in the street witheut being armed. Col. H. had last night address- eda note to Gen. McD., couched in such language as intended to draw a challenge from him, which he told his friends he intended to deliver personally. And accordingly, he this morning proceeded to the General's office; and on opening the door, said, “* General, I have come,” and had got thus far, when he received a pistol ball in his left side, just below the heart, and died instantly. i The affair has caused a great deal of excitement, and God only knows when it will end—particularly against the author of the anonymous letter, as it was undoubtedly the cause of the affair. The Gen- eral has delivered himself up in the custody of the sat, The Coroner’s verdict was jutifiable homi- cide. Ong oF your oLpEsT SunscRIBERS. Cotumsus, Ga., Jan. 5th, 1843. James G. Bennett, Esq.— Dear Sin— ._ As you are always desirous of obtaining the ear- liest news that will interest your numerous readers, Thave taken the liberty ad addressing you at this time. Our town was early this morning thrown into a great excitement by what would be called in your city an awful tragedy. Col. Burton Hepburn is no more; he met his death this morning by the hands of Daniel McDougald, the former president of the Planters’ and Mechanics’Bank, now of the Insurance Bank of thisplace. The circamstances‘of the case, as far as can be correctly ascertained, are these:— Hepburn came out purposely to have a settlement with McDougald respecting some cotton transac- tions of old date, involving some $20,000 which McDougald has heretofore refused to settle. Hep- burn stated to his friends that unless the thing was settled within two dava, one or ‘the other of them must die; which McDougald hearing, prepared him- self to meet him, being also informed, through an anonymous letter, that Eeptnes intended to assas- sinate him in the street. Hepburn proceeded this morning, about eight o’clock, to ,.M’Dougald’s office, and on M’D. opening the door, he stated that he had come to give him (what, God knows) ; as he was stopped at these words, and pushed back by Mr. McDougald, and shot dead. This is Mc- Dougald’s statement; he expired in less than five minutes, without speaking a word. He was shot in the lower part of the abdomen, the ball penetrating nearly or quite through the body. The coroner’s jury returned a verdict of justifiable homicide, which would, however, in your city, been looked upon as a wilful murder. In haste, yor 4 ‘A Sunscnmme. Dr. Hawke’ Lecrore Last eventnc at Nisto’s upon AMERICAN ANTIQUITIES.—A very respectable audience was assembled last evening, to hear the learned Doctor’s remarks upon the subject as an- nounced. The substance of his introductory re- marks may be briefly stated as follows :— Many years have new elapsed since I last lectured upon the Antiquities of America. Many workshave since been written upon the subject, and many laborers have been in the field. The | Ro eas discoveries in this field, I feel proud to say have been made by our own countrymen.— Discoveries have been made among ethers by Mr. Brad. ford, also by Messrs. Stevens and Catherwood. My own interest in the subject has increased since 1 last lectured upon the subject. When availing myself of the discove. ries which have been made by these Rentlemen, and felt satisfied of the similarity of themythology of this country to that of older countries. And I take this opportunity to acknowledge my indebtedness to those gentlemen for many of the drawings which 1 shall exhibit to yeu, and which may be relied upon as unusually correct, having been submitted to the sevesest tests. I wili here state a wide distinction between my former lec- tures and this present course. That course was upon the mode by which this country was lated. The present course will be directed to the illustration of the truth of the Mosaic history, by testimony gathered from the antiquities of this continent. I shall take my stand before you as the defender of the Bible, especially as there have been numerous attempts made to subvert the truth of the Scriptures by certain scientific lectures recently delivered. This course of lectures will call you to take with me a picturesque tour over the land recently explored by gentlemen alluded to. I shall also call your attention to the rise and progress ef ancient paganism, and to the whole history of the ancient gods and goddesses. After some further introductory remarks, Dr. fraw' proceeded- to ssow, from a large map, where the discoveries al luded to had been made. ‘This part of the lecture must of course be omitted. Indeed, after getting through with this ,he immediately proceeded to examine and explain 8, specimens and illustrations of ‘&c., such as may be seen in the ly mentioned. His remarks can- of course, be at all understood without them, astuere ‘as continual reference made to them. Drawings were successively examined of ruins, &c., from Palenque, Ux- mal, Kabah, Zayi, Labna, Chichenitza, Tuloom, Coum: Izamal, and Ake. The examination of these draw- ings occupied most of the evening. Dr. Hawke claims that the age of people who furnished the models f these buildings was contemporaneous with the deluge. He says that these gentlemen regarded many of these buildings as from one to two thousand years of age. ‘The natives can furnish no information respecting them. The buildings, undoubtedly, were public, and probably sacred. Their religious belief is one of the strongest grounds to ascertain who these people were, and whence they came. The monuments are chiefly found upon the western coast of the country. The drawings exhibited, have been made at Dr. Hawks? expense. The original work of Messrs. Stevens and Catherwood is now in press by the Messrs. Harpers, and will be ready for publication in the course of a month. Conar ‘We never knew Congress so well en- gaged as they are at present—plenty of debate—plen- ty of wit—plenty of eloquence—plenty of sarcasm— plenty of nonsense— plenty of good humor—plenty of amusement—plenty of fanfaronade—but no action— ne legislation—no sense—no practical wisdom— no business. ‘The “Koonskin Kongress” is perfectly consistentin its character—it will end as it began, one of the most remarkable deliberative assemblies that ever met together since the Rump Parliament of England, or the Directory of France. The whole session will be spent in talking on matters and things in general. This is capital for the newspapers and the newsmongers. We could not desire any thing bet- ter, if we had the cutting and carving of the thing. We hope they will endeavor to beget a President before the fourth of March. M. M. Noau.—This distinguished article, of the indefinite order, has, it is said, gone to Washing- ton to get an office from Captain Tyler. We real- ly hope he may succeed. Noah has, during the last five years, opposed usin the most savage manner, as @ newspaper editor—but we have as effectually driven l.im off the ground as Napoleon did the Austrians in ltaly. We can afford to feel the generosity of a victor—and, in that feeling, we hope he may get something to stay hisstomach. If nothing else, why should not Captain Tyler appoint him Minister Ple- nipotentiary to Jerusalem—Chiet Judge of Syria— or Charge des Affairs to Jericho? We will support his confirmation by the Senate at once. Navat.—Orders have been received at Boston, to get ready for sea the {frigate Potomac, and the new frigate Cumberland now lying at the Navy Yard. It is said that the sloop of war Falmouth, at Pen. sacola, has received orders to return immediately to Vera Cruz. The brig of war Dolphin, also at Pen- sacola, has received sailing orders for Campeachy, and was to leave ina few days. The sloop of war Ontario, also at Pensacola, is about to sail for New Orleans, where she will remain for some time as a receiving ship. The U.S. ship Vandalia, Capt. Ramsay, will sail again in afew days for the coast of Africa. Orders have been received at Norfolk to fit out the frigate Macedonian, and sloop of war St. Louis and Warren, for sea. The preparations of the frigate Brandywine and brig Truxton for sea, is now going on at the Gosport depot. The Alkmar, from Port Mahon, arrived at Norfolk on the 9th inst. with Dr. Jen O. ©. Barclay, U.S Navy, and Midshipmen C.H. Baldwin, R.C. Duval, W. B. Browne, C. H. Oakley, and a number of seamen, invalids, from the Mediterranean squadron, as passengers. The Mediterranean ‘squadron, consisting of the U. S. ship Columbus, 74, frigate Congress, and sloops Fairfield and Preble, sailed from Mahon for Genoa, on the 12th Nov.—all well. ‘So far this season has been a remarkable one. In this city, the thermometer has risen to 5t deg. in the shade. We should not be surprised to hear of the opening of the river to Al- to-day or to-morrow. Indeed, it is perhaps The Utica started yesterday for that On the same day in January in 1824, sloops left, Albany for this city. This is certainly a singu- jar coincidence. Navigation has already been re- sumed on the Passaic. All the snow in this vici- nity has almost entirely disappeared. Does this warm weather indicate the approaching millenium? The Connecticut River has risen five feet since the thaw, and has probably broken up by this time Unitep States SENATOR FROM PENNSYLVANIA.— James Buchanan has been re-elected United States Senator, by a handsome majority. City Intelligence, A Monon ix Paison.—A person named Joseph Beebee, who has recently resided with his wife at77 Goereck street, in the same house with Joseph Irwin, chair maker, was arrested afew days since, and fully committed to pri- son yesterday in default of bail, under the following cir- cumstances. Beebee and his wife have long since avow- ed themselves full believers in the faith and doctrines of the Mormen creed, and by persuasive argument had indu- ced the wife of Irwin to adobt the same faith. Beebee and his wife are without ehildren, although married for se- veral years, but Irwin has been blessed with two. The power of Beebee’s spirituality or some other unknown cause, induced the wife of Irwin to desert her husband on the 31st of last month, pack up her furniture and children, and take refuge underthe protection and love of Beebee, who forsook his own wife andtook Mrs. Irwin and her two children to his besom. He hired apartments at 166 Essex street, and being too lazy to work, pawned such of the furniture of Irwin’s hard earnings us could be spared, and laid off in idleness, doing nothing either to support his own wife, who was destitute, or that of his guilty as. sociate. Justice Gilbert of the Upper Police, being in- formed of these facts, in a spirit of philanthropy, for which he has always been celebrated, took measures to arrest the iniquity of Beebee; and upon inquiring of the children, ascertained that Beebeo was in the habit of beat ing their mother as well asthem. He accordingly had him arrested, and ordered that he should be held to bailin the sum of $600 to answer the offence, and in default of which he was ordered to be fully committed for trial at the Sessions, Tue Wratner. bany alreaty pram city nagstep.—On the 7th of September last, s arrested, with Leonard F.

Ixramovs.—Officer Stokely entered the house of infa- my kept by Mrs, Williams, 26 Mercer street, on Tuesday night, and there found a little girl, aged 11 years, and an- other only \4, who had been procured for the infamous purposes of thisold hag. The Zonngest was laboring un- der disease almost incurable. She was sentto the Long }, and the other transferred to the care of the Society. Sreatino Game Cuicnens.—Aaron Freeman ar rested yesterday on a charge of stealing four game chick- ens from Abner Taylor, of 70 Duane street, and fully com mitted to prison renowned theatre where have figured and flourished your ris, Augustes, Celestes and Elaslers, and your Keans, Cooks, Coopers, Conways, Vanden- hoffs, Powers and Matthews, is one of the most re markable events inthe history of theatrical perform- ances. The Park is now nightly crowded; yes, crowded with your real old fashioned audiences.— And what is specially worthy of notice, 1s the atten dance and great delight of the ladies—indeed whole families. The ladies of this city have always felt that the ordinary Circus was a place where they ought not in propriety to be seen, We are glad, however, o inform them that this objection is now over- come, and what is most interesting and pleasant of ali os that fathers, mothers, brothers, sisters, and al) the children can attend in one family group to wit. ees the really astonishing and superior performances of a genuine Cireus. Court of Inquiry on board the North Carolin: TurateentH Day—Jan. 12. TheCourt resumed its proceedings at the usual hour. The cabin was much. crowed. 4 James L. Ricey, one of the apprentices, was called and examined. He heard Spencer say on one occasion, that the Captain was no gentleman, and did not treat him (Spencer) as a gentleman; he heard Small say that he kill- eda negro on the Coast of Africa, because he had struck him with a handspike; heard Small say before his ex- ecution, it was for going on a Guinea-man, that brought him there. Joun 8. Wrrmone, another of the boys, was examined. —Heard Spencer say to Cromwell that he would be the commander of a vessel before long; asked Cromwell if he would like to sail with him; thought frem his talk that Spencer was a very wealthy man; heard Spencer one day that a brig was in sight, say to Cromwell that he would like to have the long boat manned, and go and take her; Cromwell said he thought he could take her with 8 men; the crew talked a geod deal about the arrest of the men; they wondered what it was for—some thought it was because Mr. Spencer had had a falling out with Mr. Thompson; 1 did not think ba attempt was likely to be made to rescue the prisoners; if an attempt had made, it would, I think, have succeeded; 1 think that the vessel might have been brought home without the execution of the men. I would, have been afraid tocome home in her as she was. Joun Dunscomnr, first class boy, sworn and examined, —Heard Small say he onco had a quarrel with a darkie, and he killed the darkie; had seen Cromwell, Spencer and Small sit logeiher on the fore hatch during the whole of the dog-watch; was frightened and afraid that the brig would be taken. Jonn Now an, another boy, was the next witness. He thought that the prisoners might have got looss them seives and taken the brig, if they hadn’t been executed. Geonae Tarson, another boy, sworn and examined.— Heard Cromwell, before he was executed, ask Mr. Ganse- voort to tell his wife that he died innocent; thinks that the prisoners might have been rescued in a squall, when the officers would be obliged to leave their stations. Txomas Hannison, aged 16, first class apprentice.—Had heard nothing. Knew about as much. Warp M.Gazexey, sged 16, first class apprentice — Small told him that he was left on the coast, and forced to goin aslaver; he had been in two slavers. whip which hung Small, and he came up to me and said, “ Bub, I never thought I'd come to this !” Was on the royal yard the afternoon when the mast was carried away. It was done with a sudden jerk. I was looking aft at the time, and did not fall to the decks caught the royal shroud, which saved me. Witiiam Crarx, aged 16, first class boy.—Had a con. versation with Spencer going out; 1 asked him for a knife. He said he would get one for me; three or four days before rest he brought me one, and said, keep it sharp and T have seen Spencer show a paper to Cromwell, r was at his dinner and supper. I could not read the paper, as the letters were in an old fashioned al- phabet. Cromwell said it would dovery well. I think the brig could not be brought home. Another time, Spen- cer said to Cromwell, the sooner we get quit of these little devils, the better; they eat bread, and are of no use. JosHua Smita, aged 16, first class boy.—Saw Small with a sheath knife one day ; he saidhe would like to run it into one of the officers; he did not say who ; did not know who were our friends on board the brig after the arrest and who not. Cromwell behaved well to me all the time. Crances B. Stacey, first class boy—Nothing elicited of any moment except that he had seen Spencer give mo- ney to Cromwell ; had heard them talk about chartering a ship for the North West Coast. Tuomas Brwater, second class boy, 18 years of age.— Had no opinion, did not know why he had none, Crances R. Lament, second class boy, aged 16.—Had seen a gre: y talking together after the arrest of the men ; thought they intended to take the vessel ; Spencer gave him 62 cents for the loan of a pea jacket while it rained one day on the passage out to Mudeira. James Mitcueit, second elass bey, 16.—Had heard Small say he should lke to bea pirate. He had been ina slaverhe said. After the execution I had acon- versation with Sullivan; he said if they had taken the ves- sel they would sink her and kill all hands, for dead men tell no tales. Joux Wi.son, seeond class boy, 16.—Heard Wil- son & McKinly talking the night of Mr. Spencers arrest ; Wilson said that if the Captain knew what he knew of Spencer it would hang Spencer; day or two after heard McKinley say “I expect to be in irons before night.” The Court then adjourned.

Trial for False Pretences.—Tha trial of Henry Pullan, of 13 Carmine street, indicted for obtaining gooda and mo- ney from James Duncan, menufacturer of cotton ball cord, by false pretences, was continued from yesterday.— The amount in question was about $75. A young m: named Wilson, a clerk inthe employ of Mr. Duncan, was called upon the witness stand and confirmed the statement Mr. D. as made yesterday in some of its most important ints. The defence introduced Wm. McArthur, of the irm of Robinson & McArthur, who testified that Pullan confessed judgment to their firm for $340, in order to s0- cure them for debts he owed, &s other persons had com- menced suits against him, and he was afraid of being bro- ken up in his business. The jury returned, a verdict of not guilty and Pullan was discharged.

Thejury found him guilty, and the Court remanded him for sen- tence on Friday. Another Trial for Grand Larceny.—James T. Walker, alias James C, Thomas, was tried on an indictment for grand larceny,in stealing muslin embroideries,&c. valued ‘at $1,000, from the store of Samuel Cochran, ot Philadel- hia, on the 26th of June last. It was preved that about worth of the goods stolen was found in mn of the accused by officer A. M.C. Smith. Mr. rO- rietor of the store, was not able to testify of his own nowledge that the goods were stolen, but was so advised by the clerk who had charge of the store in that city the private marks of those found had all been removed Officer A. M. C. Smith testified that he was sent for to come to How: Hotel, where he found the aceused who was considered a suspicious character, and upon opening his baggage he found 194 pieces of collars, embroide: muslins, &c. Smith also stated that he arrested the bro- ther of the accused, who was allowed to go to Philadel- phia, provided he would return the goods. They were not recovered, but the brother was arrested on another charge, and sent to the State prison of that State. ‘The defence, conducted by M. J. Bacox, Esq. called a boy named James T. Wood, who testified that he saw the accused at the boot and shoe store of Mr. Ames, 140 Woos- ter street, on the 25th of June, the day previous to the night on which the burglary is alleged to have taken place, and also on the 27th o! the same month. James Ames was also called by defence.— He confirmed the statement ofthe boy relative to the accused having been in his store on the 26th of June, to get apairof boots looted. M. J. Bacon, Esq. contended, in summing up to the jury, that there was no evidence before the jury of the ‘commission of the lareeny of the goods found in the pos. session of the accused, and therefore the jary were bound to acquit him, The jury atter a short absence returned a erdict of guilty, and the Court sentenced him to the state prison or four yoars and nine months.

Thus the war between Cuba and Hayti has ended. Tue Eakruquaxe.—Slight shocks were felt at Charleston and Columbia, S. C. on the 4th instant, the same night and at the same hour, that they were felt at Cincinnati. Prize Ficut near Lonpox.—No true account of the beastly fight between Freeman, the American giant, and Tipton Slasher, near London, on the 6th ultimo., has yet been published in this city. They fought forty-five rounds, which lasted one hour and twenty-two minutes. Slasher was the winner. Bits or Bisevrrs.—Thanks are given to Harnden & Co. and Adams & Co for Boston papers, and to Pullen & Copp, and Pomeroy & Co., for Albany pa- pers inadvance of the mail. The latter run over the Housatonic Railroad and came in twenty-four hours ahead of the government agent. Dry Docks, Mr. Eprror :— Much has been said of late relative to the construc- tion of a dry dock by the government at this port, and I aminformed that commissioners have recent- ly visited this city, forthe purpose of examining and obtaining the opinions of practical and scientific regard to the several docks in use here, with a view of reporting the result to Congress. Ar you are aware by an open, free, and unbiased dis- cussion of a question that the most favorable results are elicited, I therefore subjoin the following ob- servations, premising that, should you discover there- in sufficient merit to entitle them to a place in your valuable journal, that I should feel proud of so dis- tinguished a mark of your approbation. Although nerhaps not strictly relevant to the subject, yet al- low me here to speak in terms of commendation of the course adopted by the Secretary of the Navy,in thus seeking the advice of others, who from long experience are rendered competent to be of the most essential service in this important matter. Under a government like ourg, where our rulers de- rive their whole authority from the consent of the governed, it evinces a becoming sense of respect, as well as responsibility, thus to consult the source of official power, whenever the public interest can thereby be advanced. I shall proceed, sir, briefly to allude to some of the principal dry docks of our city, and after the expres- sion of an opinion of their respective merits or de- merits, conclude by the recommendation of such a dock as I think best adapted tothe present wants of the navy; together with a few other remarks con- nected with this subject; pai da other object in view than that of lending my humble aid towards the ultimate adoption of such a work, as will best answer the purposes required, and at the least possi- ble expense. : ‘ 7 First, then. I would call your'attention to “‘Gilbert’s Floating Dry Dock,” in the form of an immense ba- sin, having gates at one end, through which, when sunk sufficiently low, the vessel is floated, when they are again closed, and the process of raising commences as the surrounding water is ejected by the assistance of an ape. To this kind of doe! there exists many torcible objections, and however well it may answer when applied to small crafts, could not, [ apprehend, be advantageously or even safely employed in the raising of very large ships, for the reason that the entire weight of the vessel is made to bear at the keel upon the centre of the ba- sin, thereby predisposing the sidesto lift, by means of the great depression at the middle, or unequal pressure of the burthen within, thereby rendering a recourse to artificial means necessary, such as pla- cing heavy weights upon the sides,to counteract the effect alluded to. In addition to this, it will readily be perceived that another important difficulty pre- sents itself in the circumstance, that a much greater depth of water is required for its application, than | can becommanded at this or any other dock yard with which Tam Soom the absence of a suffi- ciency of which would not only render it useless,but prove fatal to the dock itself, upon trial, in the event of its groundi The liability to injury from exter- nal causes, particularly while in the act, or after hav- ing taken up a vessel, the danger of sudden leak, together with the inconvenience to the workmen, arising from the want of.a free circulation of air, and the effect of the confined rays of the sun, offer obstacles of too great a magnitude to be overlooked ‘There is in use another floating dry dock, the principle of which although similar to the former, is in my judgment preferable to it, at least in point of safety, being composed of many cisterns in sections, rendered water tight, with the exception of an aper- ture through which water is admitted for the purpose of sinking beneath the bottom of the vessel about to be raised; after which the sections are firmly uni- ted together, and the water pumped out as before de- scribed. ‘The superiority of this plan over the for- mer is made apparent by its additional security, ow- ing to a division of the risk among the several sec- tions employed, and the absence of those minor ob- jections peculiar to it; but there exists, nevertheless, the same insurmountable difficulty, in the great depth required for its free operation. There is yet another formidable cause operating adversely to the adoption by government of either of the precedin, plans, viz: no shelter can be affored either the vesse or workmen during inclement weather, thereby cau- sing a delay that might prove prejudicial to the pub- lie interest. That either of these docks may be ade- quate to al] the wants of the merchant service is pro- bable, but Isubmit, whether this important branch of our national defences should not depend upon a more secure and satisfactory source of co-opera- tion. The stone dock which next commands considera- tion, has beenfound in Europe to answer a better purpose than any other in use, possessing the iu)- portant qualities of strength and durability; and where the locality of it can be such as to afford at all times a safe and unobstructed access to it, is un- doubtedly among the best employed, especially where the rise and fall of the tide is as great as at London. Butthe impracticability of constracting such a dock at the Brooklyn navy yard is obvious, owing to the liability of this cove to fill up with mud. Indeed the time isnot far distant, when government will be compelled trom this circumstance, to remove. the depot to seme other situation, in the event of which the loss to the public treasury would be great- ly enhanced by the outlay necessary for the prose- cution of this work. Neither is this sort of dock entirely free of well founded objections;‘on the con~ trary, the dampness, and particularly the darkness peculiar toit, whereby the number of working hours in each week is materially curtailed, detract in no inconsiderable degree trom the otherwise substan- tial claims to favor, which it possesses over its con- temporaries, é is T have thus far endeavored, in as concise a man- ner as possible, to Rat out the Tice promineay de- fects in the docks before enumerated, and will fur- ther request your indulgence while I call your atten- tion to the superior advantages associated with the “Hydraulic Screw Dock,” or such as is at present in use at the foot of Pike street. It can be made of sufiicient power to take up any vessel afloat, and in half the time than by any other process known; is light, dry, and airy, from being above ground; is susceptible of having a covering over it; and, what is of equal importance, in the present deranged state ef the finances of the country, will cost less than the loweat estimate that I have seen for one of either the former descriptions, and about four or five hun- thousand dollars less than one of stone! A tolerably correct idea can be obtained of the proba- ble cost ef a dock of this description, of suitable size to answer all the purposes of the navy, when it is stated that the sum of seventy thousand dollars only was expended in the construction of the one alluded to, including steam engine, and is capable of taking up a vessel of fifteen hundred tons. In the estima- tion of every practical man, the immense advantage derived from the. facility with which the various sections can be raised or depressed at pleasure, by means of which the “sheer” of a ship can be re- stored, no matter how badly “thog’ed” it may be, together with the circumstance that no extraordina- ry depth is required beyond the draft of the vessel, are facts of too vital a character to be lost sight of. I have before alluded to the probability of the cove, on which the Brooklyn navy yard is at present situ- ated, becoming soon unfit for a naval depot; in reality, the time may be said to have arrived al- ready, when the fact is made known that asufficient depth of water cannot be always depended on here to warrant the building of a suitable dry dock, into which our vessels of war can be taken when occa- sion requires. The interest of the navy, therefore, seems to require the selection of another site ere the expenditure of more money at this place ; and what spot, within our waters, presents so many and such forcible claims to public notice as Governor's island? Nature, in the formation of our beautiful harbor, points to this spot as the one, of all others, best adapted to the foundation of 2 national dock ard, for to what other, or better purpose, can that large tract of vacant land be applied, isolated as it is from the main shore, and yet withia a convenient distance from it—possessing the boldest soundings and an unrivalled protection from the agsaults of he elements and of man. The most desirable location for this important work lies on what is termed But. termilk Channel, between the scuth battery and the wharves used for landing towards the north. It is here, sir, where a great sufficiency of water is al- ays to be found, that a dock, of any size or des- cription whatsoever, could be constructed; and I would most respectfully and urgently solicit the at- tention of government, before any decisive measures are taken with regard to the one in contemplation, because, in the event of this suggestion meeting with approbation, the dock itself could be imme- diately commenced here, and the removal of the property at the old yard proceed at leisure. Na _ A basin, too, might here be formed, for receiving timber, rendered water tight, having gates opening to the tide, whereby an immense saving of that costly material might be effected, which at present lies buried in the mud at Brooklyn, the food ot worms, besides the time spent in seeking for it, as by the opening of the gates at low water, the entire stock on hand could be, in a few moments, made visible, and again protected from the worms and weather by the ty eg the tide and closing of the gates. I fear that I have already trespassed too greatly upon your time, but I have nearly finished, and would omy ask permission to fortify what has just been stated by adding, the land necessary for this change has net to be purchased, but is already the Prec of government. While, perhaps, it would be expedient to retain, for atime, a portion of the land occupied by the present dock yard, yet it nevertheless should be sold whenever it. can be done to the best advantage, the proceeds of which would pay the cost of removal, and leave a balance in the treasury besides. It cannot be maintained that this position would be too much exposed to an enemy, forto my mind the contrary is made mani- fest, by the existence of forts to the south and we: of the island, the constant presence of a garrison, which could always be assisted in case of need by the navy, and the additional number of hands em- ployed in and about the dock yard, while the bat- teries of the ships at anchor and in ordinary could aid in repelling such an attack. Admitting, how- ever, for a moment, th: 18 exposed, is it as muc! 8o asthe old situation? Can it be approached in the rear with the game facility, by an enemy’s troops, when once igeed upon Long Island shore? I ap- prehend not, sir; because a populous town inter- venes between it and them, or, in case this fails, the breadsides of our men-of-war are re dy for its de- fence. In short, Mr. Editor, I feel satisfied that the very removal of the dock yard to this place would ensure it an additional security. % With your permission, I may at some future time again allude to this subject, and, in the meantime, remain, Respectiully yours, Srauxerr. Albany. (Correspondence of the Herald.} Anany, Wednesday Jan. 10, 1843. Movements in Albany—J.ists of Appointments—Cu- rious Mode of Applying for Office—More Pap for the Family—Contraet Bill, &c. Itis amusing to see with what gravity and ear- nestness sedate and learned Senators will argue such important questions as to whether they shall furnish themselves with penknives at the expense of the State or not, or whether they shall have thick or thin writing paper to indite their correspondence upon. They will even involve weighty constitutional questions in such discussions, as Fi the whole welfare and prosperity of the State hung upon this single point. A whole hour was consumed in this manner in the Senate yesterday. For the first time this.session, the previous ques- tion was made use of in the House yesterday, at the call of Mr. Jongs, in order to drive through the bill in relation to contracts by the New York We Faden tion. The whigs made use ofevery means to delay its passage, but without effect. This Mr. Jones isa great man; at least he is trying to be. When he shakes his ‘‘ ambrosial locks.’’ and prepares for a speech, it 1s the signal for a general clearing of the galleries and House. He is a poor speaker, very poor indeed, His colleague, Mr. M’Murray, isa talented young man, and is always heard with at- tention. He is, however, rather assuming in his manner—indeed, it would seem from his move- ments, that he aspires to be leader of the talory He made, however, the other day, rather a mortify- ing confession for one who would fain climb so high. He was selected by the Speaker as Chair- man of the Standing Committee on Canals, one of the most important in the House, but declined, al- leging as a reasen for so doing, that he knew no- thing about them, there being none in New York city, unless it might be the Canal street sewer. If he wishes to fill Michael Hoffman’s station, he should at least know a little about these matters. Mr. Henry Arcucartus, baker, of New York, applicant for the office of Flour Inspector, has made a publication here, which cause no little merriment. It is nothing less than a pamphlet of some fifty i; ges, giving a sketch of his life, his services, and his claims upon the Governor for the appointment he is seeking, backed by sundry letters of recommenda- tion from various leading politicians. This is cer- tainly an unique method of furthering an application for office. fie His Excellency is said to have nearly prepared his list of inspectors, and it is expected that the ap- pointments will be made within a week or ten days at farthest. It is also said that the Secretary of State is about to submit a report, which will reco) - mend the aboliticn of all inspection laws. It is very likely, as Col. Young is well known to be one of the most radical and independent men in the state. “Charity begins at home,” is a well known and a good maxim. Governor Bouck thinksso at least, if allreports are true. It is now said that another of his family or kindred is to receive the important ap- pointment of Health Officer for the port of New York. If this should turn out so, there will bea considerable burst of indignation from the locofocos here. Beides this, it is said that a lucrative office in this city is to be given to another of his relatives. If this is the way he means toserve them, the Gover- nor will find that he has quite asextensive a family, as any Turkish Sultan could wieh for. Tne colored people of this cuy, previous to ex Governor Seward’s departure, held a meeting, and tendered a vote of thanks to him for the many exer- tions he has made in behalf of their race. His Ex- cellency made a very neat and appropriate reply. The proceedings have been published. The aboli- tionists have started a daily here called the ‘‘Patri- ot.” I hear it has a goed subscription list and is likely to be permanent. The editor is a Mr. Torrey, who is a martyr in the cause, having been tarred and feathered or imprisoned somewhere off south on account of his devotion to it. L. P. Noble, long a leading abolitionist, is connected with him as pub- lisher.” This, I believe, is the first and only daily journal of this creed in the Union. {n the Senate to-day the bill trom the Assembly relative to the Corporation Contracts in the city of New York was received for concurrence. Genl. Root made a long speech on the subject. __ In the Assembly a great number of petitions was received. The New York Criminal Court Bill was received from the Senate for concurrence. The re- port of the Comptroller was sent in to-day. It is in the usual style of Mr. Flagg’s documents, clear, con- eise and lucid, which is saying enough. _ IMON.

CuatHam Treatre.—Among the numerous places of amusement in this city, none receives such de- cided marks of public favor as this popular and beautiful establishment. Performers of more talent can be found at no other theatre, and we are glad to perceive that the community warmly reciprocate the untiring efforts of the manager for their gratifi- cation. To-night, a most superb bill is offered for the benefit of that odd and original genius, the “Great Western,” whose imitation of a locomotive at full speed is one of the quaintest affairs we ever witnessed. Placide, W. H. Williams, and Miss Marv Duff, appear in some of their most popular characters, which announcement alone is sufficient to draw an overflowing house. Amruitueatae oF tHe Rerustic—Benofit of Mr. Myers, leader of the Orchestra. There is to be a grand Mu- sical Gala at the Amphitheatre, Bowery, this evening, in which no less than four of the most celebrated Musical Bands in the city areto perform. Sixty Musicians have volunteered for the occasion of Mr. Myers’ benefit, head- ed by the popular Brass Band leaders, Willis and Gaul, and Messrs. Rogers, Hoffman and Myers. The performers in the circle are well selected, and the beneficiary is in every respect worthy and fully entitled to an overflow- ing house, which he is bound to have. QG- Barnum is sweeping all before him, with a list of beautiful and recherche performances, such as wore never collected at any place but the American Museum. The numter, elegance and splendor of these attractions, area marvelto those who aro unacquainted with the luxurious tastes of our citizens, whom no ceremonions performance or every day wonderment can satisfy ; but they crowd around Gen. Tom Thumb, listenjwith astonish- ment to the revelations of the mysterious Gipsey Girl, and see and hear with delight the brilliant amusements of thesaloon. The benefit of Tom Thumb to-morrow bids fair to prove a bumper. BY THE SOUTHERN MAIL. Abstract of Proceedings in Congress. Wepnespay, Jan. 11.

Boyd’s sureties. . Mr. Boyd being’a de- faulter who has figured somewhat conspicuousl among the defaulters. ‘The bill was debated wil considerable spirit by Messrs. Evans, HENDERSON and King, and was then rejected. The Bill for the sale of Mineral Lands, ordered to an engrossment yesterday, was finally passed to- day. “, Tire Oregon Bill was before the Senate very riefly. Mr. Tappan paves some few reasons why the bill should pass, and replied very briefly tothe objections raised by Messrs. Calhoun and Choate, Mr. Sevier said he wasa member of the¥select committee who had reported the bill. He should like to examine the subject a little further andymov- ed its postponement. , ne objections were heard, and the Senate adjourn- ed. Hovse oF RepresentatTives.—On imotion of Mr. Pops, the first Friday and Eons were set apart for the consideration of Territorial business. _* Mr. Brack, from the Committee on Territorie: reported a bill for the support of the Government o} the Territory of Wisconsin, which was read twice and referred to the Committee of the Whole. Mr. Kennepy, of Md. submitted a resolution, call- ing ontne Secretary of tne Treasury to report the amount of goods in the public stores, destroyed by fire during the last ten years in the city of New York and what amount of duties would have been paid if the goods had not been destroyed. He said that this information was necessary to enable the Com- mittee of Commerce to frame a bill establishing the warehousing system. The resolution was then adopted. ir. EVERETT made an ineffectual effort to induce the House to take up the bill to repeal the Bankrupt aw. The House proceeded to the consideration of the resolution of Mr. Bowne, instructing the committee on the Judiciary to report a bill to refund the fine imposed on General Jackson in 1815. Mr. Burier. who was one of Gen. Jackson’s staff in 1814 and 1815, replied to the remarks of Mr. Adams, delivered on a former day. The morning hour expired, and the House pro- ceeded to the consideration of the resolution (and the pending amendment) from the Committee of ‘Ways and Means, recommending that the Secre- tary of the Treasury’s plan of the Exchequer, com- municated to Congress during the last session, ought not to be adopted. m1 Mr@Unverwoon of Ky., replied to Mr. Proffit with reference to a card which appeared in the In- telligencer, signed by the gentleman from Indiana. Mr. Everett, after afew remarks in opposition to the scheme of the Exchequer, which he regarded as nothing more than the Sub-Treasury, moved the previous question, and a call of the House. Mr. Cusurne hoped that the gentleman would not be suffered to make a speech for half an hour, at- tacking all the world, and then move the previous question. It was strange generosity. Mr. Everett asked for the yeas and nays on the call of the House. Mr. Arnerton would suggest that the gentleman from Vermont withdraw his motion for a call of the House at present, and let it be understood that it shall be the first business to-morrow morning. _ Mr. Everett withdrew his call for the previous question, to offer an amendment by striking out word “not” in the resolution—and then it would read “that the Exchequer ought to be adopted.” . Mr. Cusine moved that the House resolve itself into a Committee of the Whole en the state of the Union, to have a fair discussion, instead of preclu- ding debate by the previous question one side only had been heard—when the House ad- journed. Piitavetrxta Riots.—Early last evening a party of about sixty rioters came down from Kensington to York court, in the Northern Liberties, with the design of attacking the house of a man who had in- stituted criminal proceedings against the individual who had been committed during the day. They were met by the Sheriff’s posse, and three of them taken prisoners. They were all armed with blud- (i neey and fought desperately. At the market house, a arge body of the rioters were congregated, armed begin foaee and fire a, fii e Sheriff having organized a civil posse of two orthree hundred strong, proceeded to the Market House. On approaching it,the posse was assailed bya shower of stones, and several pieces of fire arms were discharged. A number of the posse were struck and knocked down, and in amoment were dispersed by the rioters. The Sheriff re- ceived several blows and was considerably injured. Some eight or ten persons were arrested and put into the Northern Liberties Watch-house. Up to eleven o’clock the rioters maintained the mastery threatened vengeance During the night the pereons taken into custody, were conveyed to the city lock- up-house, on account of apprehensions that attem, would be made to rescue them. The Sheriff this morning is quite ill, having been struck in the lower region of the stomach with a stone, and receiving a contusion upon the leg,and being otherwise bruis- ed. The scene of the riots this morning is quiet, although a number of persons are standing abeut The prisoners had no hearing this morning, Mayor Scott having declined acting in the matter, without advice from the Court of Common Pleas. As tar as we can learn, it appears to be the determination of the Sheriff to call out the military.
