NEW YORK HERALD. New York, Wednesday, January 5, 1843, — - — Sreaw Sau Cauxpovia.—There begins te be a lit. de anxiety felt for this steamer, She had been nineteen days and a few hours at sea when the last mait left Boston. If she did not arrive there yester- day, we shall certainly think that some accident has happeaed to her. We do not believe that her day of departure from Liverpool was changed, for the rales of the post office department, which go- vern all mail steamers, are imperative. We really hope that she is now safe st Boston, and thet her news will reach here to-day Report ox (Cuxanine ree Sraxers.—The able and powerful Report of the Corporation Commit- Yee on the Contract tor Cleaning the Streets, is pub- lished at full length in this day’s paper. It will be found on the first page. We have very little to say on this report. Like Donald McDonald's famous bagpipes, it speaks for itself. If the Commuttee haserred at all, it is in not giving this famous contract to the highest bidder.— In these glorious times, we should always go for the highest prices—the highest principles—the highest Virtues—the highest merits—and the highest rewards here or hereafter. Besides, what is the use of mak- ing such a fuss about $100,000 1 Don’t we see the gsiorious financiers and politicians of Wall street and Washington, of both parties, ran away with a couple of hundred thousand dollars before brea’- fast,and then set up for saints and philosophers ever after?) Why such a noise about mere dirt and ma- nure—particularly as Father Miller has satisfied every body that the streets of New York, and of all other cities, will be cleaned by another contractor after the 38d of April next ? We object, like our friend of the ** Courier,” to the present contract, but on different grounds, and fora different object. We believe that the highest Price should have been given. Ii $40,000 a year con- tains a certain quantity of honesty and magnetism, certainly $90,000 a year must have a double dose. The committee, therefore, have acted contrary to the principles of the age—bui if they keep the streets clean, we may forgive them, and allow them to take the benefit of the act Great Srm among mus Smait Porarors.—The weather has been so mid and spring-like of late, that a prodigious growth has taken place among the small potatoes. We accordingly learn from Wash- imgton that the famous ‘‘corporal’s guard,” who watch over the important interests of the Tyler par- ty, have made some arrangements of great impor tance to the country—and bearing somewhat on the prophecies of Miller, relative to the millenium, and also on the next Presidency, to say nothing ef pope- ry. We understand that the corporal’s guard had a meeting at Washington, at which Major Noah and several office holders and office seekers from this city, attended—tha: it has been decided to lay up Danie! Webster on the shelf, if possible, after the 4th of March—that the “New York Union” has beeaa dead loss of $3000 since last August, and must be discontinued pretty soon—that Major Noah is to have a good office of some kind—and that the “ New York Aurora” is tobe scrubbed up, and to become the organ of the corporal’s guard in this quarter, for which the postmaster, collector, and “ friend George,” will give it a regular dose of trea- sury pap, and a plate and spoen atthe kitchen ta- ble. Accordingly, the “ Aurora” comes out yesterday morning and fulfils its part of the contract by swal- itsformer sayings, in the following aaive We bave made up our minds that we shall best subterre the intercss of the country by supporting the acminis- tretion of John Tyler, and advocating his election in 1844. We shall go into this battle with a strong heart and with fall confidence of winning the fight. We shall tree- ly e with all true friends of the administration, i every Inudable endeavor to advance the interests of “ Honest John Tyler,” and secure his election as Presi- deat in 1344 ; and shall exert ourselves to promote har- ony, good iecling and united ection among his real frends. We shall smoke the pipe of peace and friendship ‘with all our enemies, if they be true{riends of John Tvler and the Ameriean Constitution—-dury tomahawk, ‘which im times past we have wielde!,trom various motives, agains our t worthy, sccemmodating and hi minded and generous > Notwithstanding all we may have heretofore coneeruing these Centlemen,it is very ques- tonable whether better men could be found to fill those ofhess than the t incumbents, John L. Graham, E- ward Curtis, and Paul R. George. They are all, we doubt mot, sincere friends of the administration, and in the dis of their official duties, give complete satisfac ion to the people and the government Ina few deys we shall more fully explain our position on the boards, and endeavor to demonstrate to our readers the advantages the country will derive from the election of John Tyler, the people’ favorite, and the bane of polincal 4 of all parties. “The people ere coming"—end we » a" etalemter tong More Sreger Otxantne Discrosurns. —The re- cent extraordinary movemeat of the * Devil upon two sticks,” in Wall street, in attacking several of the whig members of the Common Council, in the matter of the street contract, and particularly Al- derman Davies (Assistant Alderman Mead also, tor reasons which will be hereafter stated, is pre- sumed to ceme in for several hard thrusts), has ex- cited much curiosity, and occasioned a geod deal of inguiry as to the cause of such a movement from such a quarter. Some individuals unacquainted with the pulling of the wires, very innocently and magaanimously attributed the Courier’s attack to a sudden burst of patriousm. They almost believed that for onee it was indeed “ principles, not men.” Bar on feeling the patent's pulse, and examining closely into his condition medically, scientifically, and financially, it is discovered that the cause of the strange movement is purse and not patriotism— A mere repetition, on a small scale, of the famous $52,000 case of a former and a better age. In the first place bear in mind that the attack is made upon the contract committee, who are Alder- men Balis, Davies, and Martin, and Assistant Alder- men Brady, Mead, and Fepwirol, those in italics being democrats, the others whigs. We will now go be- hind the curtain, and see how the wires have been pulled—premising that as all our statements are founded on the minutes and notes made at different times by our reporter, during his attendance at the meetings of the Boards. If they vary in any respect from the documents and reports, the variations are immaterial at best, and will be corrected if pointed out, On the 18th Dec. last, Assistant Alderman Atwell offered a resolution in the Board of Assistants, that the public printing should be done by contract. At that time the printng of the Board of Aldermen was done, as it is now, by Charles King of the Ameri- can, to the great disappointment of Colonel Webb, “or Mr. Snowden, who are understood to have ear- nestly solicited that job. and who are supposed to look with an evil eye upon Alderman Davies, as having defeated their application; which, however, he denies. The printing of the Board of Assistants was done by James Van Norden; and the printing of the Departments was done by Thomas Snowden, one of the proprietors and managers of the Courier and Enquirer's job office. Alderman Atwell isa good whig, and we believe an honest one. He went for the reduction of all useless and purely par- tizan expenditures. In the discharge of his duty, theretore, he offered the resolution alluded to. It was referred to the Committee on Finance, of which Assistant Alderman Nesbitt, (a printer.) is chairman. The Finance Committee reported Jan. 4, “48; but the Board was not satisfied with the re- report, and again referred the whole subjectfora new examination to the Committee on Police, Watch and Prisons,’composed of Alderman Atwell, (chairman) Mead, and ©. J. Dodge. The Board being decidedly fora fall investigation, Alderman Atwell determined to go thoroughly into the whole subject, and discharge his duty without fear or fa- vor. He did so without delay, and reported te the Board on the 16th January. From this report we make the following extract:— “The committee have examined sundry gentlemen (Whigs) under oath, who are practically, and by their ge neral intelligence and the extent of their business, fied to judge in these matters, and have submitted ti cessaty specimens to them for an estimate of the value of work pertormed in the several departments of the nature of printing. The committee have not permitted any per- sons 80 estimating, to examine any bills for work hereto- fore done, nor informed them of the prices charged, but only they have caused specimens of the work, with & statement of the quantity to be ed. The persons who heve made their estimates, have done 0 under oath, and with some relactance. They state that they have made such estimates as would enable them, in case of competition, to perform the work at a somewhat less price, and still reelise a fair promt, after paying good wages to these employed. The object of the committee has been to prevent any sort of wader estimates. The commitice would take occasion te slate that the Comp- trodier has mow a bill [Snowden’s] tm his possession of a large amount (between $2,500 and $2,700) upon which he has paid to the Fuilest exient the value ofthe work end ma terials described tnd the balance—amounting te remains uncdjusied and in dispute. After the Report was read, Alderman Atwell took up another document, purporting to be a cer- tain bill of parcels forprinting done for the depart- ments. He read it article by article. He aleoread, in conjunction with each treapective charge made by Mr. Snowden, [we say Snowden’s bill, because Alderman Nesbitt afterwards stated to the Board that such was the fact,] the sworn estimate of the | responsible printers alluded to in the above extract. These sworn estimates were on the average some- | thing like two-fifths, if we recollect right, of the This is probably one of the greatest movements ¥ original charges made by Mr. Snowderfot the Cou- that has taken plece since the burning of Carthage, orthe taking of Jerusalem—and it settles the ques- tion of the next Presidency without any atfiidevit. Henry Clay, John C. Calhoun, Marun Van Buren, may all hang up their fiddies. The “ Standard,” which heretojore has secured a little treasury pap, is to be given up, in consequence of the sin of saying things in tavor of General Cass. But what it loses will be given to the “ Aurora,” including @ portion of the Post office prinung, now perpetrated by friend Beach of the “ Sun" The “ Aurora” is hereafter to be the Tyler organ of this city,! under the corpo- ral's guard—and it is to go per fas aut nefas for the Captain's nominstion by the democratic convention. | We decidedly approve of this. The “ Aurora™ has a much larger circulation than the Standard, or Union, heretofore tried as organs, but found want- ing in wind. The “ Union” seldom numbered over 900 circulation, which few read—the “* Standard” about 650, whic could not be read—but the “ Au- rora” has got es high es 9) or thereabouts, the most of which are used for e variety of purposes Of course this is the greatest movement vet made in the Tyler party, and we hope all their plans may succeed.

The estimates of the prin- ters, which were separately made, did not vary $50, and were jess than $1200 for the same work, and et a handsome profit,jtoo, jor which Webb and Snowden charge 26 or 2700 dollars. The Comp- troller, Mr. Williamson, who is a fair, honorable, and conscientious man, very properly re- fosed to pay the bill. Whether he was influenced in this decision or not by the Committee on Pelice, Watch and Prisons, is a matier on which Colonel Webb can easily satisty himeelf, if he has not al- ready done so, by enquiring at the Comptroller's of- fice. On the above refusal to pay the bill,on the ground of exorbitency, Mr. Snowden sits down ve- ty coolly and philosophically, and makes out a new bill for the same job, article by article. This se cond bill was reduced from $2500 or $2700, down to SI707 55. Of this, too, Mr. Williamson was ra- ther suspicious—doubting if even thet were “ made in good faith.” He paid $1253 17, as above stated, and then waited for the evidence of “ good faith.” Accordingly, inowden manages to knock up the following certificate :-— ‘We certify that the several charges in the bills are correct B CLAYTON.

Esquirol being at Albany). Of these two gentlemen, Alderman Mead is one of the com- mittee.on Police, Watch and Prisons, who, toge- ther with Alderman Atwill (chairman,) constitute the Whig majority who cartied through the resolu- tion requiring the printing to be hereatter done by contract ; and who also made the report and dis- closures relative to Snowden’s bill above referred to ; altogether knocking the Courier and Enguirer’s extravagant corporation printing profits all into pi. Mr. Brady, the other Assistant Alderman on the Contract Committee, also voted with the committee ou Police, Watch and Prisons, in tavor of taking the public printing out of the hands of printers who make such exorbitant and unjust charges, and giv- ing it out by contract. Alderman Davies, another of the Contract Cominittee, is, as we have already stated, suspected of using his influence against the Courierand Enquirer, and in favor of the American, Such are the facts and figures in the premises, from which the public can form their own opinion Allwe have to say is, if Colonel! Webb can light upon a chance to sell his patriotism at his o@n valo- ation, and buy it in again at the estimate of the pub- lic, he will at least get back the $1000 difference between his first bili of $2700 and the $1700 which he finally got. Cask or Perex Riexsex, Tux Daxg.—In the Superior Court, Judge Oakley presiding, yesterday a very singularscene cawe off. The case of libel against us, as charged by the person whose name heads this article, was called for trial. The court- Toom was crowded at an early hour with mer- chants, tradesmen, shipping brokers, and small dealers, who have been sufferers and victims—all ready, as willing witnesses, to prove the truth of the allegations he avows to be libellous, and so injurious to his fair fame and reputation as to damage him in the sum of $1000. Peter himself, dressed very well, appeared in Court attended by a lawyer, whose name we understand is Mr. Lippitt; and, as was ex- peeted by all who knew the plaintiff, an affidavit was offered by somebody, whose name we could not learn, to the effect that the plaintiff was not Teady for trial, owing to the absence of material tes- timony. The defence stated that they were ready to pro- ceed to trial, and some twenty witnesses were cal- led, many ot whom were in attendance. Judge Oakley, on application by plaintiff's counsel, order- ed the case off until the next term of the Court, which meets on Monday, the 6th of February, when in all probability the plaintiff will be compelled to come to tial, orbe non suited. It was an interesting scene to look about the court-room and see the respectable gentlemen in business in this , who had volunteered to ap- pear as witnesses to testify to the general bad repu- tation of this man Riersen ; and it is too bad that such a man can compel the attendance of publish- ers, jurors, witnesses, &c., at a loss ot their time and money, to appear in a court of law in reference to the publication of well certified and authenti- cated facts, such as we were prepared to prove in tall justification. In the meantime it is necessary to do something, and we have been requested by several of Peter's victims to call a Generar Mertine for Thursday at 12 o'clock noon,at the Ca/é Tortoni,130 Broadway, of allthose who have had an unfortunale acquain- tance with hum, in order to take into consideration what should be done in the matter. It is full time to put astop to the financial operations of Peter Riersen in New York, and there are ample materials to act atonce. Remember the Café Turtoni, 130 Broad- way, at 12 o'clock. . Mrsicat.—We learn that Mrs. Sutton, Miss Eme- line Sutton, Signor De Begnis, and Mr. Sutton, leave town to-day tor Albany, to give a series of concerts, on the invitation of some musical circles there. Mrs. Sutton isin the highest voice—and her litule daughter has been preparing some very novel scenes in the musical drama. Signor De Begnis has just recovered from a severe influenza, which he caught on New Year's day—and now looks full ten years younger than everhe did. His voice is in fine condition, and his spirits gay and volatile as Fi- garo’s. Their object is to restore harmony to the Legislature—to administer reliefio Governor Bouck as David did to Saul, King of Israel—and to soothe the hearts of the nine hundred disappointed office seekers now wandering through the streets of Al- bany like the ghosts of a churchyard. They will give several concerts in Albany—then proceed to Bosten—visit Hartford—touch at New Haven, sing- ing all the way—and then return to New York, and close the season with a few brilliant winter sorées musicales at Nidlo’s. Mr. Horn gives his farewell concert on Monday next, at which he will be assisted with all the musical talent in the city. He embarks for England next day, and will not return till the 24th June, 1846. This concert is getting up under very favorable auspices. George P. Morris, the American Dibdin, is at the head of the movement, and he is stirring up all the fashionable elements of society with the wand of Prospero. We trust, and hope, and beg, and pray thet Horn may have a splendid concert. He has some faults, asall clever artists have, such as cut- ting upeach other's talents—but he has many pro- fessional merits—much more private worth—and, take him for ali and all, he isa very worthy, kind, industrious, gentlemanly, talented man, with much good taste in music.

Such a display of feminine grace and loveliness has seldom betore blessed that sanc- tuary, The subject announced for the lecture was an exciting one, and the ladies seemed determined to muster all their forces for the occasion, Even John Neal seemed somewhat disconcerted when he rose in the full blaze of that fascination and beam ing beauty. ‘The lecture was singularly brief, and extremely entertaining Tt was in the true modern style—de~ sultory, eloquent, namby pamby, sophistical, just, sensible and foolish.

It istruly remarkable, The nostram-mongers ap- pear to be on their last legs. Some time ago the advertising columns of the newspapers were crowded with elaborate notices and puffs of an infinite number of intallible speci- fics. Now, it would seem as if all the quacks had cackimed with the Moor—** Othello’s occupation’s gone.” Their silence is most Mourntully expressive of their lack of business. The quack advertisements are astonishingly diminished in numbers and {re- quency. Even these which do appear, are of a very different character from what they were in the palmy days of the trade. There isnow a sheepish air of indecision and Old Bailey like modesty about them, which contrasts strikingly with the vociferous impudence which was wont to characterize the Ji- terature of the pestle. The cause of all this change is very easily dis- covered. A great impetus has lately been given in this city to the cause of genuine medical science, by the rivalry of the two medical schools—the increas- ed circulation of medical literature—and the united efferts of the members [ol the association for pro- moung pharmaceutical science, and suppressing quackery. This establishment, whose principal office is at 97 Nassau street, has gone about the business in the mght way, by securing the regular services of distinguished physicians and surgeons, charging nothing for advice and medical attendance, and selling the best medicines at the lowest price. Immense numbers, who would otherwise have fallen into the clutches of quacks and imposters, have been thus saved from plunder and mal-treat- ment. What with the reorganization of the Bellevue Hospital—the College of Medicine and Pharmacy —two flourishing medical schools—all under the superintendence and management of our Motts, Parkers, Gilmans, Kissams, and Reveres, the city, and, eventually, the whole country must soon be freed trom all the evils of quackery, and a vast sa- ving of human health and life be effected.

It was adjasted and arranged on cy- clic principles, of 52 years The Persian system was precisely similar, showing identity of origin, He thought it was quite certain that the Mexicans had no small amount of astronomical knowledge. He also pointed out many other astronomical ana- logies, showing that both in the eastern and western hemispheres, they had one common origin. On which continent this astronomical knowledge first existed, itis impossible now to say. Dr. H. here went into a review of the whole ground passed over. He pointed out the following resemblances or analogies between matters and things on this continent, and the same upon the Eastera continent. 1, Similar Symbols. 2 Knowledge of the same unknown God. 3% ‘Transmigration of Souls. 4 Boliaf in the succession of workis. & Human 6 Religious processions. 7. Same triplications of Divinities, & Worship of heavenly hosts, a Q4The Serpent—an object of worship in both hemis eres, 10, Cavern temples and labyrinths, 11. Elaborate structures, 12. Game of Flyers. 18. Vestal Virgins. 14, Same mysteries or ongies. ce Same Hieroglyphic mode of writing here, as in Chin 16, Mode of dress. 17, Same sacred animals, AS. Architecture—the arch, inverted stairs. 19, Traditions of Divinities and of the Deluge. 20. Astronomical calendars and methods of computing time, Having established these analogies and resem- blances, the Doctor proceeded to account for them. — said there were but three possible ways of doing this, First. That one nation devised and adopted, while all the others imitated. Second. That one nation conquered all others and thus gave them these features. Third. One common origin, same school, same source. The Doctor examined each of these positions in their order. He overthrew the first two, and then showed how the Bible proves that all nations were originally of one blood—shows how their language was confounded upon the plains of Shinar, and in short, accounts most satistactorily for all the phe- nomena alluded to. But, says the objector, “How do you know but that Moses borrowed from tradition, and recorded what every body knew before?” The answer to this is that the history of Moses is directly contrary, and opposed, in Honny pointy, te the dogmas and notions of the people of those times. But did not Moses invent the history? If he did, then how could he have made the re believe it. They must have known it to be false. Other objections were answer- ed in asimilar manner. The conclusion is that Moses’ history is true, and that the antiquities of America corroborate its truth, é The Doctor thought he had redeemed his. pledge, made on this point at the cemmencement of his lec- tures. He remarked, that it had become somewhat fashionable of late to make science contradict the truths of revelation. He called these attacks an assassination ot the truth. He invited these indivi- duals tocome out and make their charges openly, and then hecould meet them. He alluded particu- larly to lecturers upon Rrology. 1n his opimon, ge- ology, rightly interpreted. will support the Scriptures. And he guarded his hearers particularly against the idolatry of the intellect. : His lecture was listened to with the deepest and closest attention. Albany. [Correspondence of the Herald.)

Stevens arrived, and this morning the Ithaca. She leaves for New York this afternoon at 5 o'clock. The caucusses have all been got through with, and the State printing is entirely settled at last. But the trouble has only began. The manner in which this question has been adjusted may be looked upon asa. complete triumph of the “Old Regency” and the more conservative portion of the locofoco party. The “Young Regency” or the radicals, ate used up and totally discomfitted. But the matter does not end here ; it 1s but the com- mencement of a feud, or rather a civil war in the ranks of the democratic party, that to present ap- arance at least, is destined to rack it to its centre. ‘he war has already commenced. In the Argus and Atlas of this morning, the organs of each branch. may be found articles on the subject, surcharged with all the feeling that pervades the portions of the party that each represents. One thing is to be remarked—ef all the New York delegation, but two voted for Mr. Bryant— Messrs. Santord and Pentz—the remainder of the democratic portion voting for Mr. Croswell. In the Legislature just now, there is but little of general interest doing. Long discussions have been had for the last two days, on the question of a gene- ral law for the extension of the time for the collec- tion of taxes. No appointments announced as yet, and the office seekers, poor devils, begin to grow weary and dis- contented. I subjoin some additional names ot these gentry :— James English, Lumber Inspector. James Marsh, Deputy — of Grain. John C Ryckman, do J. Rose, Harbor Master. Jobn Riker, Ini tor of Pot and Pearl Aahes. John J. Moftatt. Measurer General of Graiu. George Denniston, Inspector of Green Hides. Thos. Conner, Port Warden. Doctor Van Havenburg, Health Officer. A.D. Wilson, do do E. G. Rawson, do do Elijah F. Purdy has withdrawn from the field in the contest tor Inspecor of Pot and Pearl Ashes. What he wants now, is yet to be known. E. €. Barton wants to be measurer grain, instead of flour inspector. Paul run him hard __ Mr. James Connor is Seer deserving an office if any man in New York is, but it is thought his chance is a hard one. Jim Connor has worked hard and faithful for the democracy. Some of the most discontented of the office seek- ers are leaving us. Their places are supplied, how- ever, by new arrivals.

The public are greatly indebted to Mr. Rockwell for the amuse- ment which they nightly receive at this popular cir- cus,and the favor with which he has heretofore been known and received will procure for him a crowded house. His bill is unusually attractive— The Sons of Liberty; McFarland, the greatest vault- er in the known world; Rockwell’s pupils, Stephens and Runnels; C. J. Rogers, in various characters; Hiram Franklin, the great voltigeur on the crescent cord; Mr. Nathans, the great self-instructed horse- man; the mischivous eupids, Misses Wells; Mr. Stone, as the Indian upon his lightning steed, &c.; all concluding with the famous negro dancing by John Diamond and others, whose boots are all soled with lightning and brimstone.

Although the prices of admission are greatly reduced, yet the dress circle still continues to present its accustomed 4 brilliant array of beauty, fashion and loveliness. Thorne appears to be inspired with fresh energy at this undoubted mark of public approbation, and with a liberality peculiar to himself, is determined that no efforts or outlay shall be spared in the pro- duction of popular novelties, and in procuring the eervices of the best talent to be found in the country.
