HERALD. , January 18, 1843, NEW YORK IMporTANT FROM Ajj a rue Democrats — Our accou its from-A lbany-+e thie day’s paper will disclose the beginning of a violent feud in the locofoco party, the end of which no man camsnghily see At all. the whigs and the friends of Clay We Jeam from private correspondents that the no- mination of Governor Bouck as Vice President by the Tyler guard of this city has produced a great sensation in several quarters—great divisions—and great heart burnings. In addition to this cause of quarrel, the distribution of the offices, {and of the public printing, have’all added fuelto the flame of division. The Gevernor and the Comptrolley are pulling in different directions—and the two proprie- tors of the Argus are ready to eat each other up. The new plan of giving out the public printing, [and the debate on this subject, have jincreased and de- veloped the teud. ; What direction all this confusion may take, it is difficult to see—but according to all accounts, it par- takes somewhat of the quarrel in this city between the “old hunkers” and the “ young democracie”— the former exhibiting a tendency to Mr. Van Buren, the latter to Mr. Calhoun—for it is a fact that Cap- tain Tyler is hardly thoughtof by either section, un- leas it may be by some who want an office in the Custom House. The progress of this quarrel will develope some strange things—some curious events hereafter. We shall watch and pray. Which side to take we hardly know yet—but if Governor Bouck goes with the “* Young democracie” we are very much inclined te go inthat direction—for we like youth and spirit with the old white horse to leadon. Yet it would cost usa pang to separate from Mr. Comptroller Flagg, who isa capital man, including his aid, Mike Hefl- man, of Herkimer. Of course we are on the fence, till we can see our way clear. In the mean time we advise the whigs to make hay while the sun shines. Their prospects are brightening beyond a doubt. Mr. Van Buren, Mr. Van Buren, there is a flaw in your crockery—mend it—mend it. Tue Bansavet Law—Its Evits.—One of the principal evils of the bankrupt law is the facility which its previsions allow speculators and plunder- ers to repudiate the small debts they owe to the in- dustrious and mechanical classes of society. In the reply made by Judge Betts to Mr. Web- ster, relative to the operation of the law, it is stated as a remarkable fact, that few regular merchants have taken the benefit ef the law—that the greate? part have consisted of large operators, speculatos, or persons without any regular business. The dedts of this class of persons have been of the mos as- tounding amount, and their assetts of the most meagre and baseless character. In fact the bankrupt law has operated as an entire abolition of debts,by which therich and fashionable speculators have been enabledto swindle the poor and industrious. The cases of this kind, in the various Courts, are of the most atrocious description. It would seem that thousands of fashionable, respectable and pious bankrupts, have been for years past living on the earnings of the poor and industious classes of so- ciety. The regular merchant o business man sel- dom takes the benefit of the act. When his case is produced by misfortune, he has only to open it to his creditors, and they seldom refuse to agreeto a set- tlement. It is the fashionable, the arrogant, the pious, or the respectable bankrupt that pluaders and cheats the poor and industrious of all the trades and classes of society, from butcher to washerwoman. We trust that Congress in their action on the sub- iect will remember it. Tur Sreeet Sweerine Conrract.—The ordi- nance to authorise this contract has] now become a law in spite of the Mayor’s veto. What will be the final action in reapsct to the contract,r proceedings under it, remains ts ba ea; The whigs claim that the contract will pée it for that time. Un the other they choose to mats claim that the charter most hand the demftively denies to the Corporation any clearly and poiey admit that the contract will be syo’ vowere year, when they claim that the Corpo- , ae can repeal the ordinance if they choose to lo it. Tt will be recollccted,that a bill has just been pass- ed through the Assembly at Albany, prohibiting the Corporation from making the proposed contract for three to five years. Some of the Senators sent down to his Honor the Mayor for hisveto, and other facts to guide them in theiraction upon the bill. Mr. Merris sent back word to them that the charter was perfectly clear upon the subject as it now reads, and advising that no actionat all was necessary upon the subject. This was tinal, and fatal—the Assembly’s Bill was instantly kicked out of the Senate Now then comes the contract by the whigs—in a year its repeal by the democrats. Then a long suit at law. Lecrurr on tHe Laws, Customs, &c. of THE Moors.—Thomas N. Carr, Esq., late Consul from the United States to Morocco, delivered a lecture on the above subject last evening before the Berean Institute, in the church corner of Walker and Elizabeth street. There was a fashionable at- tendance, and a large number of ladies graced the audience with their presence. The lecture contained a great variety of new and interesting matter relative to the eountry of the Moors; and as our reporter took full notes, it will be given complete to-morrow. TueaTeicaL—Orera.—We understand that Mr. Simpson is making preparations to re-open the Park —after the horses have finished their engagement— with a strong opera, English and Italian. It is eaid he has some thoughts of engaging the Italian Com- pany of Havana to come north next spring—but un- less they can give us an opera, alternately in Eng- lish and Italian, it will hardly succeed. Mr. Simp- son lost money to a large amount by the “ Moses in Egypt,” and we suppose he will{be cautious how he deals with Moses in that way again. ere is a report that Henry Wallack is coming eut to take the Park, but it is without foundation. The manager of the Bowery is, we learn, also ne- gotiating with the agent of a fresh opera company, to come principally from Europe.

Spencer; gave him a key to a system of secret writing; it wasabout a year ago; could not say for what purpose be wanted it; it came up in the course of conversation, and he earnestly asked me for it; Mr. Spencer marked, on a piece of newspaper, characters which witness recognized as the cipher reported to have been used by Aaron Burr.

The day after the exe- cution, the Commander took out a paper and told the crew that if it hadn’t been found out, they would all have had to walk the death-plank ; heard ison, after the arrest, say that ifthe Captain knew as mtch about it as he, he would hang them up at once with- cout judgeor jury. ‘Two or three other boys were examined, but nothing wew was elicited. Joux Cavenacn, apprentice, aged 18.—Heard Mr. Spen- cer say he would soon have a ship of his own—that he was tired of the service, and would prefer the merchant service; never thought of such a thing as eny chance of areseno; did not think the execution was necesrary.

Lank, another boy who also previously stated that he saw Mr. Spencer show Cromwell a paper, was also re- called. One of the papers found in Spencer's locker was ahewn to this witness, and identified by him as the one he saw in the hands of Spencer, when he showed it to Crom- well. Witness recognised it because he recollected that the writing was like an aiphabet, ond began in the middle, and also by aris of it on which there was no writing.?

A very large audience was assembled last evening to hear§Dr. Hawkes’s second lecture of his course upon the South American Antiquities, as vicwed in connection with the Mosaic Record. The house was much more crowded than it was at the first lecture, and we noticed some yt our most distin- guished citizens in attendance, Dr. Hawkes and his subject, together with hig elegant illustrations,seems to attract the attention of the real elité of the city. The illustrations are enlarged drawings, taken by permission from pictures in the forthcoming work Of the Messrs. Stevens and Catherwood, hy the Harpers. This work, we understand, will be pub- lished about the middle of February nest, and wil cost some eighteen or twenty thousand dollars. Dr. Hawkes commenced his lecture wi th remarks upon the origin and objects of ancien't Idolatry.— 'an’s earliest worship was of the trwe God, asre- vealed to him. Idolatry is a departure from this worship. The first objects of idokatrous worship were one of two classes. First, the: Hosts of Hea- ven. Second, deified mortals. In relation to deified mortals, who were they ?— They were those who lived and died in the golden age. Then the question arises, when was the golden age? It appearsthere were two golden ages—the first immediately following the creation—the other following the deluge. __ It was to correct all false notions upom this sub- ject, that Moses wrote the history of the creation, and of the earlier ages. Here Dr. te wert minutely into the subject of the earlier heathen mythology, hE doctrine of metampsychosis, triads, mysteries, c. Henext remarked upon the worship of the hea- venly hosts, astrology andastronomy ; the sun was the great father, and the moon the tnather. He then showed the analogy between mawy points and dog- mas of ancient eastern paganism, and western idol- atry,'as indicated in the South American antiqui- ties. The succession of worlds, the triads, é&c. with some learned remarks apon the interpretation of symbolic writings. The great body of symbols were devised to convey doctrines of religion, nod $s ee deemed sacred, and are not lightly al- ered, After those intro? astanuemver'wt Radin wars ‘Cac mst srawing or illustration was of a river in Uxmal, which exhibited the serpent. The serpent of worship, in all ages. The serpent A racters, one of evil, and one of good. His worshippers were Ophitae. ‘The serpent wasa symbol of the deluge, and of eternity; two serpents combined symbolize the one, the great fathe r, and the other the great mother. In this river you see the two serpents combined. From one ot these ser- pent’s heads is cer dine, a human head, which Tepresents the ark,with Noah proceeding out of it. ext, Dr. H. showed a picture roca Ratels with a man standing upon a serpent. This represents a aman triumphing over the deluge. The figure has a symbol of the great father upon his breast.— It is Noah Lppeays over the del nge. . The next picture hada double serpent, with a Ting in the centre within them. This represents immortality, or eternity—a suc- Spee worlds. _ f je next was a picture of ‘4-wall in Chichenitza. One of the figures had a crescent upan -his shield. is was a symbol of the moon, the great mother, the ark. The ark of Oairm was shaped like the moon. This man was ap arkite worshipper. A boat was also on the, same picture ; this was the ark. Osiris was Noah. It is to be particularly ob- served that, in the, case of a boat, whenever there is any collection i pel indicating number, itis the number eignt, whictr 1s Noah and his family. _ Upon the head of one of the figures on one of the ictures was a tartoise.. This symbolized the de- juge. ‘The tortoises isan emblem of the ark. The Brahmins tell ‘you that the: earth rests upon a cow, (whose horny; are crescent, and hence. the ark,) a the cow v,on a tortoise. And [need not tell you et ite + ortoise is found abundantly in these south- as. ._Ne xt was a globe on a crocodile’s back, whichhe int -rpreted in like manner. Next was the cross, ay) found in all the temples of the Kast, and gene- tally inthe other hemisphere. It is alse found in the southern country, in Yucatan, Cozumel, Mexico, Peru, Patagonia, and other places. ; Next was a picture from Palenque, with a figure sitting crors-legged, with the sacred lotus upon his ad,.and an emblem of the sun upon his breast. This is ‘Adonisirds,(Adonis and O-iris combined.) Here followed two pietures with three heads each—the one from India being Brahma, Crishme, and Seva. The other from Ohio or They are triads. Such are, very briefly Dr. Hawke’s remarks upon symbolic language. ‘ennessee. Packst Snir Garriox has been got off the West Bank and is now safe at the wharf. Park Tueatne Crrcus.—Another crowded house atthe Park last night. Every one appears struck with astonishment at Welch’s houses. ‘How does he manage it?” saye one... ‘‘ Why isit?” says ano- ther. We can tell you the reason in part. First, he has an immense company—about one hundred in all, besides the horses. Then among the riders, tumblers, &c. each one is a star in his own particu- lar line of performance. Consequently all that is done is not only well done, but done first rate. The management is first rate, and the performances are in good taste—nothing low, nothing offensive to “ear and éyes polite.” There are some very curi- ous and rather interesting facts and anecdotes con- nected \vith several of the actors and actresses in this cireus, Which we shall beable togive the public ina day or two. Mr. Welch himself is probably the most remarkable character of the whole establish- ment. He does things as nobody else does ; for ex- ample, serves a codd collation gratis every evening in the principal salc'on,‘He says he has butjust begun, and that this is noth ing to what he is getting in rea- diness—the scene p.\inters are at work—the ropes and wires are being riy;ged—and even the horsesare studying Shakspeare. Cuaruam Tuxarre.—An unusually attractive bill is presented for to-night. “Gwynneth Vaughan,” a drama of deep and abiding interest, is again offered, with a sterbing cast of characters. Séveral other pieces, equally good, are also announced, and will doubtless draw a fall house, The company of this matchless place of amusement, combines an amount of talent unequalled at any other theatre in the city, and the untiring efforts of the indefatiga- ble manager meet a well deserved and hearty re sponse from thepublic, who nightly crowd his really beautiful establishment to the ceiling, and manifest their approbation by unrestrained plaudits. best of my recollection | have known Nor quire 4 Lavnou.—It was intended yesterday morping to haye launched the longest steamer inthe. ‘orld}but from some cause, perhaps the cold wea- ther, she would not budge an inch from the stecks Neither the Jacob Bell, northe Mutual Safety, the latter a very powerful tng boat, could get her to Move trom the place where her keel was laid. This made the intended launch asad affair. Ten 4housand-men;-women, and children had conecté in Wiliam H..Brown’s ©) ip yord and vicinity) ty ‘witness the sight. They covered every shed, house, steamer, boat, fence and post, and presented ane of the most animated scenes'we ever beheld. The morning was beautifully clear,but rather. cold. Every one of the ten thousand, therefore, had “ither very cold feet or uncomfortably cold hanes. Yet they all remained gazing at the steamer fo full two hours, expecting every momentto see her start. We never saw such an immense concourse of people at a launch. Not ‘near so many saw the Kamschatka dip into the “iver, and there were hun- dreds less at the laurch of the frigate Savannah fromthe Navy Yard, And those present yesterday were fashionable ‘people, who ride in carriages and have servants to drive them—or rather to drive their horses. It would be difficult to get such a class of pople together again to witness the mere sliding, of a vessel into the water. Tue steamer which ought to have been launched i%a remarkable one. She is six feet longer than any other vessel in the whole world—longer than the great iron steamer building in England for Captain Hoskins, of the Great Western. Her burthen, however, 18 only one thousand tons. This is ex- plained thiswise :— Extreme length on deck, . Extreme breadth of beam, +s. -80 feet 6 in. Extreme depth of hold,. . «oe 9 feet 9 in. She is like an arrow—remeriably sharp and beau- tifully formed, and must go through the water with great speed. Such a promenade deck as is presented in this boat has neverbeenseen, » It extends fore and aft, and while etanding at the stern port the bows arenearly out of sight, Her dining room will be three hundred and ten feet long, and there are to be two rows Of state rooms. Altogether, her hull will far surpace‘any thing of the kind yet seen in the world. It is said that she isto be fitted with two of Wm. A. Lightha!\’s horizontal half beam marine eugines, called ferty-eights, with a twelve foot stroke. Her whe els are to be 824 feet diameter, 12} feet face,wicd a dip of 28inches. Hershafts and cranks will be of wrought iron. She is to have four boilers, nine and ahalf feet wide and eighteen feet long. The whole length of the engines, from bulkhead to bulkhead, will be forty-eight feet over all, by the diameter of the cylinder in width. These engines of Lighthall’s are superior to any ever introduced in asteam vessel. They have all the advantages of the present beam engine—all the ad- vantages of the square and crossed engines in stress and strain—all the advantages of the incline engine, from the incline of its connecting rod from the beam to the crank, and all the advantagesof the herizon- tal engine, from having a horizontal cylinder, lay- ing horizontally in the bottom of the vessel, and working longitudinally with the strergth of the hull, They can have any length of stroke, and are suita- ble for any depth of hold. Such isthe newsteamer. She is to be called the Empire, and will run between here and Albany. It is expected that she will make the passage in seven hours or less. Another attempt to launch her will} be made at ten o’clock this morning- It will undoubtedly be succeseful. +380 feet. General Sessions.

The Recorder, in charging the Jury, stated that it war to be regretted that public papers would receive such communications and take the responsibility of their pub- lication, and that in case the publishers of such sheets brought were before this court on the charge, they would receive the severest animadversions.

DeaR Bewnerr:— ~ As you have no correspondent at this place, and 4s ‘aim here for a few days, {thought 1 would ler yon keaw what was going on at the capital of Illi bably.will be until the first of March next. This hag been a memorable day for the city of the Praries, on account of the public exhibition of the eat lion of the day, the ‘Holy Prophet, Joe Sinith.” It will be remembered that the Govyernor of Misaouri Jast summer demanded of the Governor of Illinois the body ofzhe-Prophet, and O. P. Roek- well,as fugitives from the justice of the State of Mi souri, whereupon Governor Carlin: issued his w: rant to arrest the said Joseph Smith and Rockwell; and as you know he prophesied that he should be absent, and it was so; and by some manner of means the aforesaid writ was destroyed, and the matter forgotten, or nearly so—when, lo! on last Saturday, the 3st of December, 1842, about the time of the retarn of the “‘ powerful king of day,” a shout was heard—“ they are coming.” “* Who is coming?” The Prophet Joe Smith, ‘and his Nauvoo Legion.” With this news I joined the crowd, and found that a body guard, of about forty tall, handsome, and athletic men, “ armed to the hilt,” with bright muskets, and brighter bayonets, were slowly and solemnly escorting their chief into the capital of our State. They marched slowly, but steadily, into oar city, and took lodgings at one ot our principal hotels. © After a hearty breakfast, he, the Prophet, was escorted to the “ American House,” (the boarding-house of Gov. Ford,) and fequested an interview, for the purpose of being ar- tested. Governor Ford immediately issued a writ for his arreat, and also for his safe deliverance to the Governor of Missouri. All were astounded at the course of the Prophet in giving himself up, knowing full well that if the Missourtons got hold of him he would be gibbeted. Bystanders began to murmur advice, and almost re- apes against such a course on the part of “His lolipess.’” He was immediately arrested by the High She- tiff of this county, who was about taking him to prison, when he was re-taken by a writ of habeas cor- pus, and brought before his Honor Judge Pope, U. States District Court, now in session, and the Court aftersome consultation, appointed this day for hear- ing the counsel forthe prisoner. At an early hour! repaired to the court room for the purpose of securing a seat, and at half after eight o’clock, A. M., I turned my eye towards the door, and I_sawa tall, swarthy, keen-eyed, dark- skinned daring looking person enter, wearing a red scart about his neck, and muffled in a black cloak. This is the body guard, or perhaps the private secre- tary of the Prophet. He'walked solemnly into the Court-room, followed by the “‘ great Prophet of the day,” and about twenty others, who, with the ut- most solemnity and digni y, came forward and took useir seats. Then came the crowd—men, boys, cripples, rich, poor, religious, irreligious, deacons, class-leaders, parsons, lawyers, politicians, judges, urors, i*gislators and ladies—all to see the great Yion of the day. ‘ Which is he?” “ Which is Joe Smith4—“isit that big man?” |“ What a sharp nose.” ‘ Js’ent he a pleasant looking fellow %” says one—‘ he istoo smiling for a prophet ?” The Courtiscalled. How I do envy the Judge—there is six Jadieson his right hand, within the bar, and seven on his. left. Miss P. looks beautiful—Mrs. L, lately married, a8 charming as ever—Mrs. M., wife of the President of S. Bank, the same amiable, tender-hearted and lovely creature. Mrs- T. also looking better than. common, and the beautiful lite Miss R., just in her teens, besides many others. large portly and fine looking e prophet 13 a fal man, ae eee without shoes, looks about 40 or 42, and weighs 220 pounds, eyes light blue, approach- ing to grey—light brown hair, peaked nose, large head. I think a very little self-esteem, but more of the intellectual than of the animal—dressed in box coat, black, blue dress coat and pants, black silk velvet vest, white cravat, a large gold ring on the finger next to the little one of his left hand, black cane, and wears a continual smile on his counte- nance. Many persons came in and spoke to him before the court was in session, to which he merely bowed recognition—until aadke Douglas walked inte the room, when the tall, dark skinned man, in a very dignified manner, arose, made a low bow, and resumed his seat ; also did the Prophet and the ard. a eccThe counsel will proceed inthe case of the Peo- ple vs. J. Smith.” J. Lambom, Esq. opened the cause on the part of the people, and was followed by Mr. Edwards, one of the counsel for the prisoner, who acquitted himself with much credit. He was followed by Mr. Butterfield ; the other eounsel for the Prophet, who showed up the papers in the cause in the most ridiculous light. The case is put over for decision to-morrow. He will be released under set tp.” He isto smart to be caught in the Boggs. The grounds of discharge is, that Boggs alleges that Smith was only accessary before the fact, and is not a fugitive—that is,he did not flee the State of Missouri; therefore Missouri can never get his body legally. w. News From Bosron.—Adams & Co. will please accept our thanks for late intelligence. City Intelligence. ‘Tux Escare or Honora Suerienp, the expert counter. feiter, from the city prison, on Monday afternoon, as ex- clusively published in the Herald yesterday morning, was owing to thecarelessness of the deputy keeper, who had charge of the female departmentof the prison. No blame can attach to Col. Jones or his attentive deputy, Mr. Ho: man, a8 positive instructions had been given them not to allow any female, either convicted or charged of heinous crimes, to descend from the upper corridor of the prison. A full investigation will be made into the escape by the Police Committee. SrnoxoLy SusrecteD.—Yesterday afternoon, as officer Bowyer-wasin a pawn broker’s shop in Chatham street, a man made his sppearance and offered a lady’s large gold brooch to pawn.

Finney was arrested and committed, but his partner, ‘who took the bundle, escaped. 3 : A Loap 10 Casas —estenday morning a negro loafer named Samuel Jackson, and a loaferess of like color, na- med Mary Ann Cortey, were arrested by watchman John Reber, in the act of carrying oft a large Croton water pipe, which they probably intended to break up and sell ‘as old iron.. They were both committed and will be tried, convicted and sentenced, before either Ahern or Ward re. ceive their deserts for depredations upon corporation pro- perty. Farner anp Son 1x Paison.—Yesterday, Mr. Michael Wogan, baker, of 412 Broadway, caught a boy; notover 10 years of age, in the act of stealing $6 in small change from the money drawer of his store, and on opening the street door to convey him to the police, was salut a who said his name was Barney Finegan, and th: the father of the young thief. He earnestly sol boy’s release, but the circumstances under which he was found, induced Mr. W. to arrest him also, and they were both committed to prisot ‘Tuare ix 4 Tus.—Two women, named Amelia Jami. son and Mary Simons, anda man named Francis Hicks, were arrested yesterday morning, while in the act of stealing awash tub. They were all in possession of the article, and aiding each other to carry it off, when caught in the act. Loox to Your Doors.—Scarce a diay person that com- jlaints are nat entered at the police, of clothing stolen Krom the hells of dwellings by thieves, whe call ot tne doors and request the servant to deliver anote to the gen- tleman of the house, or some of the family. While absent forming this duty, the thief steps in, steal all within Gis reach, and makes good his escape before the servant returns. Let servants louk to the street doors, and the practices of these rogues. Lrrtie Bipre ann, tHe Usury Laws.—The great banker with his three banks, one in Florida, one near the Canada line, and one of somewhere, is in trouble about the usury laws. This adroit finan- cier pays his “penny-a-liners” for a daily article to write down usury—straws show which way the , wind blows. This three-tailed Pasha is evidently laboring under the fear of an indictmentfor a misde- meanor in loaning his depreciated paper with the criminal intent of {aking usury; or prekaps some unlucky wight may have been so unfortunate as to exchange his note for Beach’s rags, and is now wicked enough to threaten a set-off of the rags ‘ against the note,or prehaps Beach is too cute to ven ture asuit in his own name,and has borrowed seme worthless name in which to try one of his honest shaves; and prehaps the honest, highminded head of these banks, uninfluenced by sinister motives, is hiring the liner to instract the legislature in the pro- found mysteries of law making, and will doubtiess give as brilliant specimens of legal learning as hith- etto ke has of honesty and morality, We shall see Nick or THR Woops.
