ight who would not be delivered into the cus- tody of the watch, if the complaint st them was re quired to be male on oath; or, if taken into custody would be released at “oon asthe witness was examined onoath ; and all who know any thing of the subject, are ware that nightly, almost, persons are confined on the int of those whe do noteppear against them after- sand who never intended to appear against them ; a rare occurrence for the statement made by @ complainant at the watch house, to differ materially from his sworn testimonywt the police office—indeed, it ths that the witnessat the watch house during the P F at the police office. tains of the watch not being authorised to ad minister oaths, the eportivenees or malignity of an accus- er may consign our best citizens tothe cells of a watch: house, to be detained until the next morning, and until ircharged " by the proper authority,” unless they should be improperly discharged, as implied in the quotation, during the night ; but af magistrates confined themselves to granting discharges in such cases, as itis here stated may occur, there would be no just ground of complaint. itis, however, proverbial that the reverse has bern the general practice of some Aldermen, who seldom or never acted magisterially, except in discharging prisoners from wa Gh houses, and the practice, with all the evils which have resulted from it may be attributed to the inconsisten- cy and injustice ofthe present system. 6th. The Police Department should be under the con- trolofachief o!icer; for although there would be dis- tricts and sections, there would be but one department, and uniformity of practice in the several districts, and har- monious and effective action when the main force of the Police shoulil he necessary, could only be secured by the general superintendence develving on a competent head. It may be said that the Mayor of the city is its Chief Ma- qistrate and the head of the Police : be it so; and he is equally the head of every other department of the city ; for it is his duty “ to be vigilant and active in causing the Jaws and erdinances of the government of the city to be duly executed and enfors and “ to exercise’a constant supervision and control over the conduct and acts of all subordinate officers.” Yet he cannot conduct the busi- ness of the departments, and we accordingly have a Chief Engineer of the Fire Department, and Superinten- dents for almost all purposes. No man who has any knowledge of the duties of the Mayor, or the bus the Police Department, will pretend that the can perform his daily ‘duties in the Mayor's offic dutics as President of the Board of Health, visor, and a& a director of various institutions — no man will seriously contend thet the Mayor can faithfully discharge all the official duties here alluded to, and also devote to the Police Department, and circum. stances connected with it, that time and attention which would enable him to discharge the important duties of chief officer of Pelice. Tne duties of the Mayor are already sufficiently numerous, and what has been said above of Police officers devoting all their time to the business of the department, for the purpose of being well informed, applies with full force to the chief officer. ll communications of great importance should be made to the head of the department, for the ends of justice have been defested by magistrates’ and officers being engaged in the pursuit of the ‘object, without aconcert of ac- tion; and that the chief officer may not be unjustly held responsible for the character and conduct of the subordi. nates, and that proper discipline may be maintained, he should be associated with the commissioners in the expel- ling of incompetent and improper members. 7th. All laws and regulations for the health and clean- well as for the security of the citi- ould be enforced by the Police Department, for the violation of the ordinances could not escape their notices, and the laws wouid be rigidly en- forced. It is#not intended to recommend any new or- ganization of the Board of Health, but to suggest the pro- priety and necessity of their views and measures being carried into full effect by a police prepared for any emer- gency. The subject of properly lighting the city at night isentitled to much consiteration here; ar the security of the citizens from accident or design makes it important; and whether it befaithfully done, or shamefully neglec- teJ, may only be known to those persons who are on duty ail nightin the streets; the duty of lighting the city should therefore be performed under the direction ofthe police, especially as the city would sustain no loss by making the station houses the depositories of oil that remained af ter the lampshad been supplied. The suggestions here made in relation to the duties of the police are strongly recommended by motives of economy, as their adoption wonld render uonecessary the present arrangement, or any other, respecting street inspectors, inspectors of pub. lic places, of omnibusses, hacks and carts, and numerous ether special officers. But asthe duties of some of the po- hice officers would require them to be continually in par- ticular wards, they should not be subject to the orders of several aldermen at the same time, and the subdi of the districts should, for this and other reasons ted to the houndaries of the wards, and each d comprise entire wards, The most strict scrutiny should be exercised by the department, within legal rales, of course, into the manner of conducting business by pawnbrokers, keepers of junk- shops, and dealers in second-hand articles, for the facili- ties afforded for the disposal of stolen goods enters largely into the calculation when rebbery is meditated. And to a police that will require the prompt and continual action ofits members, in all parts of the city, must be confided the power, and the imp -rative duty assigned, to prevent street-heg ring, which leads te idleness and crime; and to such a police must we resort to exterminate the hawking of obscene papers and libidinous prints, the great source of venality and profligacy. ‘The population of the city bas increased rapidly within the seven years last past, and there is certainly as much necessity for an efficient police now as there ever was, and the following remarks made by Chancellor Kent in 1836, may now be repeated with increased force:—“‘When we come to consider the actual wants of great numbers, and the incessant temptations to heedless and lawless pur- suits, to pilfering, to intemperance,to disorders of all sorts, in such a dense population as exists in this city, and who are always more or less under excitement,and the impulse ofthe collisions and the storms of the passions, we cannot but be deeply impressed with the importance to our peace and safety of an active and stern police.” Thave here given a general outline of the improvement which is required,in my opinion, in the police department of the city, by the wants and interests of thefcitizens; but it would demand more time to compigte & plan than 1 coult devote to the subject, and abilities Tar beyond my pretensions, to give it practical effect. A system of po- lice might have all the characteristics herein contained , and fail to produce the necessary reform; but I believe the suggestions here made susceptible of detail that would constitute a system under which, with good and efficient officers and men, ruttianism would, to a very great extent, be subdued: evil deers driven to places less dangerous for them to operate; temptation to crime removed from the ri- sing generation; and the lives and property of our citizens secured. But the attempt should not be made to effect these changes suddenly or simultaneously; they must be produced carefully and gradually, but with a view to the ultimate object; the system should be put in operation not only without commotion, but imperceptibly,except by its Tevulte; it must be free from stool-pigeoning, and the use of secret-service money, and must in all things fully ac- cor! with the institutions of our country. Jam not prepared to state what would be “the probable increase of expense, if any, attendant upon such improve- ment,” as | have not ascertained the cost of the present system, or completed a list of officers and men, with their amount o! pay, for the plan in contemplation; but as the annual cost of each watch post inthe city is $912,50, two per night,and as many of the present city and rs would oe unnecessary if thechange should @ Super- , 1 think the required improvement would be ac- complished without any increase of expense, and that af- ter the construction of the necessary buildings, the re. form system would be less expensive than the present. § to which persons should be committed not fit subjects for the alms house, and yet ought not to be committed to the penitentiary, may be classed » improvements required, but the consideration of bject must be omitted for the present. rict complta: th the resolution of your honor ale board would r that the little time I can appro- priate to the subject, should be employed in replying to the express terms of the resolution, but permission is re quested to state, that, in my oinion, the mingling of civil end criminalcases in the same courts, as has been re- commended, would not be a salutary measure, for one or the other branches of business, and prebably both, would be improperly disposed of.

The jurisdiction of the police tribnoal ‘has been, successively, by varions aots, extended to embrace a great variety of subjects, and by the act 0} 23, 1833, powers are conferred up- on it, not possessed, we believe, by any similar tribunal in our country.”—[Note, p. 617, laws relative to the city of New York.)

Heratp ror Evrorr.—We shall publish, at three o’clock this afternoon, un ex’ra Herald for Europe. It wil! contain the latest political, financial, theatri- | cal, commercial, and fashionable intelligence. Co- | pies in wrappers will be ready at the above hour to send by the Caledonia, which leaves Boston to-mor- row, for Halifax and Liverpool. | The letter bags of this steamship will clese at Harnden’s, Gilpin’s, and at the Post office, at a quarter to 4 o’clock this afternoon. ImporTANT FRoM KinpERHOoK.—We understand from the chateau de Kinderhook that Mr. Van Buren and his friends will go into the democratic National Convention, on the district system of electing the members, which is the principle contended for by John C. Calhoun and his friends. Mr. Van Buren, it seems, is perfectly willing to take his chance, on any reasonable principle of compromise, sooner than divide or distract the democratic party. ! The time 1s now the only point of difference, and | Mr. Van Buren’s friends suggest, as the latest day, the month ef December, 1843. Whatdo the friends of Calhoun say to this? If the friends of Mr. Van Buren, Calhoun, and all the other democratic candidates agree to unite on these principles, and to take their several chances, the contest of 1844 will be one of the most beauti- ful ever seen in thia country. Mr. Clay will have hard work before him. New Porice System.—We give in another co- lumn, in the proceedings of the Corporation, a new scheme for the organization of a City Pelice, ema: nating from Justice Taylor. It differs, in some re- spects, from the plan heretofore given by Mr. Whit- ing, but we suppose an admirable system could be formed out of the best elements of both the plans. It is really time that something should be done in this important matter. There never was a better op- portunity than the present. If the democrats will not unite with the whigs in agreeing on some scheme, we truet that the latter will take the re- sponsibility on theirownhook. Now is the time for action. Propwet MiuveR anv HIs MILLENNIUM.—While the Fourierites are opening subscriptions, and offer- ing an interest of 8 rer cent, by way of beginning their great industrial millennium, we find that Pro- phet Miller is equally busy on his side of the fence, in preparing for the end of all things In reference to Mr. Miller’s views, we find in a late paper, called the “ Signs of the Times,” the following articles of faith put forth by William Miller, on which per- fect reliance may be placed :— or Mitver’s Views. rist will come again to this earth. 2. Ibelieve he will come in all the glory of his Fa- ther. 1 also believe he will come in the clouds of heaven. . believe he will then receive his kingdom, which will be eternal. . 4. I believe the saints will then possess the kingdom forever. 5. I believe at Christ's second coming the body of — departed saint will be raised; like Christ’s glorious dy. And I believe, also, that the righteous who are living on the earth when he comes, will be changed from mor- tal to immortal bodies, and with them who are raised from the dead, will be caught upto meet the Lord in the air, and so be forever with the Lord. 6. I believe the saints will then be presented to God blameless, without spot or wrinkle, in love. I believe when Christ comes the second time, he will come to finish the controversy of Zion, to deliver his children from all bondage, to conquer their last enemy, and to deliver them from the power of the tempter, which is the devil. 8. I believe that when Christ comes he will destroy the bodies of the living wicked by fire, as those of the old world were destroyed by water, and shut up their souls in the pit of wo, until their resurrection unto damnation. 9. I believe, when the earth is cleansed by fire, that Christ and his saints will then take possession of the earth, and dwell therein forever. Then the kingdom will be given to the saints. 10. 1 believe teh otake poampea of God when these things shall be accomplished. 11. I believe God has revealed the time. 12. I believe many who are professors and preachers will never believe or know the time until it comes upcn them 13. I believe the wise, th brightness of the firmament, the time. 14. I believe the time can be known by all who desire to unverstand and to be ready for his coming. And I am fully convinced that some time between March 2\st, 1843, and March 2st, 1844, according to the Jewish mode putation of time, Christ will come, and bring all hi with hims and that then he will reward cvery man work shall be. From this it will appear that Father Miller takes a whole year of grace on his calculation of the end of all things. Also, it seems that fire is to be the agent this time—and not water,as in the time of Noah. No doubt the warm weather, and the recent earth- quakes indicate something. The best way is tobe ready—and first of all, let every man get out of debt. Tue Nev-oLocy.—The new system of philosophy discovered by Dr. Buchanan, late of Kentucky, does not, it would seem, prosper in Albany, whither the Doctor has gone to desseminate it. Some wag of a student, who had been in the hands of the mag- netisers for a month or two, and out of whose case they had manufactured a vast deal of capital, has turned the tables uyon them by pronouncing the whole a humbug, and that he had never experienced the slightest effect from the operations of the philoso- phers. At the close of one of Dr. Buchanan’s lec- tures, the gentleman who had submitted to be “‘ope- rated on,” and who had been exhibited to a won- dering audience, as sound asleep; as having his vision impaired or improved; his arm paralyzed or strengthened; his sensesaffected as by intoxication, at the will of the operator—publicly declared that neither on those two evenings, nor on other occa- sions in this city, at the houses of the prominent Mesmeriste where he had been “operated on” with apparent magical effect, had he ever been put to sleep, or experienced the least impression {rom their manipulations or farcical mummeries; and that he was fully convinced the whole “‘system,” so called, was gross delusion and humbuggery; in the expres- sion of which opinion the audience almost unani- mously concurred by general acclamation. who are to shine as the an. xii. 3, will understand Tur Somers Caak.—A lecture is to be delivered this evening before the Berean Institute, by Mr. Wallace, the “Kentucky Poet,” on the merits of the Somers case, defensive of Captain McKenzie The next thing we will be favored with will be a popular melo-drama founded on this affair, at the Olympic or Chatham theatre. By the next steamer, at all events, we will have the opinions of the Euro- peen prees, and of the naval men of England and France. These opinions will be given without prejudice or partiality, and will be entitled to great consideration. We believe that the naval history of France and England furnishes no parallel to this melancholy transaction. Depate at THE TaBERNACLE.—The debate on capital punishment was continued at the Tabernacle last night. Horace Greely and Dr. Cox were the combatants, and the price of admission was only a shilling a head. This is the age of cheap amuse- mente, and the pious young men and maidens who conscientiously avoid the play house, can now enjoy each others society at these calm and sanctified de- bates, without fear of experiencing one unholy throb from the temptations of the enemy. Rea Estate ror Saue.—A peremptory sale of extensive productive real estate property in various forms, and caleulated to suit purchasers in every line of business, isto take place this day at noon at the Merchants’ Exchange. This property will be sold by J. Bleecker’s Son, under the direction of D Codwise, Esq., master in Chancery. Perhaps on no occasion has a more favorable opportunity oc- curred for turning cash to advantage. Persons anxious to secure property for comparatively trifling means, are now afforded an excellent{and a rare op- portunity NEW YORK HERALD. |, Common Scnoots.—In the last annual report of the Superintendant of Common Schools, we are farnished with many interesting details respecting these invaluable institutions. The number of chil- dren who have attended the schools during the year teported,exclusive of those in the city of New York, was 571,130—the number in attendance in New York is reported as 27,619—making a total of 598,- 749. The average length of time during -vhich the schools have been taught in the several districts was eight months, The beneficial effects of the es‘ablishment of the district libraries are spoken of in enthusiastic terms. Nearly two hundred thousand volumes have been added during the last year, and the whole number at Present in the libraries is 815231. Great care is exercised respecting the exclusion of improperworks, and very few volumes whose tendency is even equi- vocal, have been admitted. Grateful mention is made in the report to the munificent donatien of an excellent work, entitled “The School and the Schoolmaster,” which has been recently made to each of the district libraries in the State by James ‘Wadsworth, Esq., from the influence of which, in the dissemination of sound principles and practica) knowledge on the interesting subject of elementary instruction, much good may be confidently antici- pated. There can, indeed, be no doubt that the sys- tem of district libraries has been eminently success fal, and that, in the words of the report, it has contri- buted more efficiently to the spread of useful know- ledge than any other step thathasever been taken by the State in the great cause of public instruction. Mr. Young refers with much feeling te the cal- lousness manifested in many districts, with respect to the dilapidated condition of the school-houses. A great number fare represented as beng in a most Tuinous state, and quite destitute of proper accom- modations for the pupils. Many of them consist of a single apartment only, and have no proper build- ings attached to them. ‘‘ The dilapidated build- ings—destitute of the ordinary conseniencies and decencies of life—the unhung doors, broken sashes, absent panes, stilted benches, gaping walls, yawn- ing roofs, and muddy floors,” are described, and excite the most painful feelings in behalf of the poor children who are obliged to spend so many hours in such comfortless and unwholesome huts. The Proper remedy for all those evils is the appointment of properly qualified deputy-cuperintendents, men who have sufficient talent and informationto under- stand the nature of their duties, and sufficient hon- esty to discharge them with fidelity. There is one topic, adverted to in tke report, of greatimportance;and one which cannot be too forci bly pressed on public attention—that is, the general establishment of normal schools, and a reasonable increase in the remuneration of the teachers. With great truth Mr. Young observes—“ That educa- tional science is far behind all others, is a fact re- cognized and conceded by all who are competent to judge. On any other science a vast amount of skill, ingenuity and perseverance has been expended to bring them to their present degree of perfection ; whilst this, the most important ofall, has been con- fined toa dull routine, or left te the caprice of ac- cident.” It is utterly preposterous to expect thata man can successfully teach others, who is himself altogether ignorant of the science of teaching. In order to be qualified for entrance on ,the duties of other professions, men are obliged to undergo some sort of preparatory training, but the teacher is supposed to have an intuitive eagacity, ekill, and judgmeat, which enable him to discharge the most important duties of his office with efficiency and success. The first great step in the amelioration of human society, will be the adoption of such means as will secure a large number of competent and in- structed teachers, Let the profession ef the teacher be thus elevated to its appropriate dignity, let teach- ers be made worthy of the name, and let them re- ceive an adequate compensation, and we will soon have another state of things. But so long as teach- ers are paid the wages of boot blacks and footmen, and have about the same scientific and literary at- tainments as those useful members of society, we cannot expect that our youth will be particularly die- tinguished by a high degree of moral and intellec- tual culture. Court Martiat in Purapesruta.—The Court Martial oh Lieut, Tansil closed last Saturday. The evidence has made some singular developments re- lative to the discipline and conduct of the navy, in the Florida war. The following is a portion given last Friday :— Mr. Maauine—Some of the conduct of theofficers on Indian Key was very rowdy and very disorderly. The Key was in a state of mutiny at one time, from intoxi tion and drunkenness; this was Christmas, 1941; the quor was obtained principally from Mr. Center's store, (The store here referred to was McLaughlin’s store, car- ried on by an lin the name of Center.) Dr. Hastings gave the men pe: mission to get as much liquor as they wanted; sew men take bottles full from the store; 1 donot think flogging to the extent practiced ,was necessary; I think it was an evil; Dr. Hastings was on the Key on Christmas night, and myself on thesick list; I think Lieut. Sloan was also—not certain; there might have been a portion of the uadron at the Key tkat night; I dent know the number of officers in the squadron; Lieut. McLauehlin was the only purser recognized at indian Key; I have not been in any way employed as assistant counsel or aidto Licut. ‘Tansill, in preparing testimony for him; I am no lawyer, I have attended the court at the earnest solicitation of Lieut. Tansill, at a serious loss both of time and money; I have had conversations with Lieut. Tansill about this trial; 1 state the drunkenness on Indian Key, on Christ- from my own knowledge; Idid not recognize any one ar acting purser, exc: Jjeut. hee a9 he had a great many deputies, sut |, &e., unaer him. Samvrt 8. called—8ix men were punished at Cape Sable—five were marines, the other « quarter gun- ner; they received from two dozen to three and @ half do. zen; Soe gunner received three anda half dozen; it was inflicted, at onetime, and there was no court mar- tial; it waa done by Vieut. J. Rodgers; I saw Pierpoint punished, by order of McLaughlin; he receivod one do- zen lashes; the character of the men punished at Cape Sa- ble was good, so far as I knew, Lieut. Rodgers was in command at the time—the senior officer present. I saw Midshipman Geo. Rodgers punish two men with the cats: to the best of my knowledge Midshipmen Rodgers was drunk at the time; Uhave been in serviee upwards of fifteen years, as Sergeant of Marines and Master at Arms; the punishment in Florida was greater than I ever saw in the service; 1 have sailed in a dozen or more ships. Tux Freemen’s Batt, at THE Parx, Last Nicut, wasone of the most splendid affairs scen in this city since the Boz Ball. The entire decorations were of the most gorgeous description, and in the bestftaste. The stage part of the theatre presented pre@jsely the same appearance as on the occasion of the Boz Ball, and the tigure of Mr. Pickwick on the curtain which concealed the tableaux, stood out in as bold relief as ever. Nay, his benevolent coun- tenance seemed to beam with added complacency, and did not’at all appear out of keeping vith the appropriate emblems of the joyous scene which were tastefully arranged around. The pillars in front of the dress circle were elegant- ly festooned with evergreens, and above each of the lower boxes was suspended the certificate of an exempt fireman. The front of the second tier was adorned with the banners of various volunteer mili- tary companies, and the banners and other insignia of the variousengine and hose companies were in- terspersed all around with great taste. A profusion of bunting fell in graceful festoons from the dome to the lower boxes. The house was lighted by a great number of splendid chandeliers. The effect of the whole towt ensemblé, when view- ed from the rear of the stage, was grand and impo- sing in the highest degree. An immense number of tickets had been disposed of, and the company as- sembled was just sufficient to fill the house comfort- ably. The dresses of many of the ladies were su- perb, and all were arrayed with that elegance and taste for which the daughters of New York are 80 justly celebrated. Amid such a blaze of loveliness, it were invidious to particularise, and we therefore refrain from attempting the difficult task. The whole arrangements reflected the greatest credit on the members of the committee. Generar Cass.—Meetings are getting up in favor of General Case’s nomination for the Presidency, in Cincinnati and other western towns, By and by this kind of business will increase very much. Pomeroy & Co.—Very early yesterday morning, Pomeroy & Co. sent us Albany papers of Saturday evening. That exorese {line now takes the river route ey OF ted OURIER AND THE Wuias.—The following settler to the vituperation and attacks of the Courier and Enquirer on the whige of the Corporation, from theipen of Alderman Atwill is taken from the Tri- bune:— p Assistant Ald.

ATWILL. Sarvapar, Jan. 28, 1948, To the Editor of the Courier & Enquirer: _ Sin—ln erat paper of yesterday morte. you have taken occasion to attack me in an unjustifiable manner— ostensibly in consequence of au article which appeared in the Herald on Tuesday or Wednesday of this week— charging that the article was mine, either as writer or author, and giving as @ reason for your cenclusions, that extracts were made and included ‘in it from an ‘ unpub- lished report” made by me as Chairman of the Committee on Police, &c. As your whole article is based upon this assumption, I will state that the report was made to the Board of Assistants some two or three weeks since, and being adopted by that Board, became, with all accompe- nying papers, a public document, accessible to any one who may desire to seeit ; it is on file, | presume, where all such pavers are kept, in the office of one of the Clerks of the Common Council. I have never hada copy of the re: port, nor have I scen it since it became the property of the Common Council, nor caused any portion of it to fur- nished to any person whatever. So much for the report. Whether or not Iam “ worthy of the place I hold,” 1 am entirely willing that “every Whig” who honestly desiresto see the City Government economically and hov- estly administered, should judge. From motives such as you say actuated you in your attack upon the Contract Committee, I have done in this connection what | consi. dered I Could not leave undone, without a 8 breach of duty to the public ; and I am gratified to know that my humble 18 to economize in the right quarters have not been without their indirect influence upon several points. With respect to the article in the Herald which you charge upon me, I know nothing of its paternity, neither who wrote it nor who isits author. I suppose it is what it purportsto he, edicorial Data for the statements it makes in figures, und much more,could have been obtainad from public documents on file, by any person disposed to make the examination.— IfT' bad undertaken {o furnish matter to a public print foran attack upon a political friend in this case, I should probably have made a somewhat stronger case of it, full asthe onein question may appearto be. I in common with, I believe, every, member of ghe Common Council, did suppose that the attack upon the Contracting Commit- tee, contained in the Courier of last Friday or Saturday, was caused by the proceedings in the Board of Assistants, which had for their tendency the diminution of the ex- pense of the public printing for the departments, and a correction of the abuses that have been practiced under arrangements like the present. The subject was a com- mon topic of conversation at the City Hall, after the ap- pearance of the article ; consequently every person and about the Hall,from that time,must have known whet the impre-sions of the members were. ‘As to the statement that “Mr. Snowden hasin some way offende1 me,” it isnot true; though it is an argument which I believe was used to some members of the Board to prevent them from sustaining the report. and to the members of the Committee of which I have the honor to act as Chairman, to prevent them from authenticating it. Ihave never, to my knowledge, met that gentleman, and do not know him when | see him ; he has never given me any cause of offence that I am aware of. S Tn conch it me to say that, in my opinion, (and I believe the public will think the same,) you resort to the same means of gratifying a personal feeling which you so often charge upon the paperthat you have spoken of in connection with my name, viz: personal abuse ; and if there were no mere trath in the article which you bave statedto be mine than there is in yours, so far as it con- cerns me, the Editer of that paper would deserve all, and more than all, the epithets you have bestowed upon him. Yours, &c. R. H. ATWILL. ‘The above is as capital a dose as ever the “devil upon two stieks” received. Navat Inreuticence.—The Jacob Bell towed the U. S. ship Independence from the Navy Yard, to an anchorage in the North River, yesterday mor- ning. The Pensacola Gazette states that the U. S. steam fmgate Missouri has received orders to sail for the North. Letters from Rio de Janeiro, of the 13th December, state that the Delaware, Columbia, and Decatur, were at Montevideo—the latter expeeted at Rio daily. The Concord, which sailed from Rio on the 2d July last,for the Eastern coast of Africa, had been expected forthe last month. The John Adams was also on the coast of Atrica, and expected at Rio by the Ist of February. The schooner Enterprise was then en acruise. The harbor was without an Ame- rican man-of-war. The U. 8. sloop-of-war Marion, sailed for the Spanish Main from St. Thomas, on the 8th of Jan- uary. THeatricaL anp Musical Concert.—The grand complimentary Concert for the benefit of Mr.C. E. Horn, is to be given;this evening at Niblo’s Apollo Saloon. A great array of musical talent is en- gaged fer the occasion, which promises to be very brilliant and successful. Mrs. Sutton and De Begnis are giving Concerts at Albany with accustomed success. The theatres in this city have been crowded,since the reduction ef the prices of admiesion. At the Chatham they have got up a magnificent panto- mime, entitled ‘‘The Black Raven of the Tembs,” which was produced so successfully in London, and hada greatrun at Niblo’s last summer, under the title of “Mazulme, the Owl.” The Olympic is doing a fair business. A piece entitled ‘The Beauty and the Beast,” very elightly altered froma London piece, has been received with great approbation. Welch’s Olympic Circus, at the Park, has been pre-eminently successful. The House has been crammed every night. Mr. Welch has great tact and judgment, and has never failed in attracting public attention to his elegant places of amusement, and has been equally successful in the more difficuit task of keeping it up. Theatricals are dull in Boston. chief performers there at present. Mr. and Mrs. Brougham are playing at Philadel- phia. inneford has taken the new American theatre in New Orleans. Mr. Hackett is playing at Mobile. The Park Company are walking to and fro, awaiting the re-opening after Mr. Welch has abdi- cated. Tue Inis in AMerica.—Mr. Robinson repeated his Lecture on Ireland, betore a large and respecta- ble audience, at}Washington Hall, last evening.— Mr. R. is a young gentleman of great promise— His elocution is easy and forcible, and his address was fullof a glowing spirit of liberality and pa- triotism.

They drew a most extraordinary house last evening ; long before the doors were opened, throngs were collected about the place, and many were compelled reluctantly to leave, unable to pro- cure admittance. They return to their old quarters at the Park to-morrow night, and we anticipate will be heartily greeted by the crowds of patrons who have already manifested their delight by unequivo- cal tokens. The magnificent pantomime of the “ Devouring Ogre,” which has been in preparation for some time, will be produced to-morrow night, with all the dramatic, scenic and equestrian effect which the unlimited facilities of Welch’s extensive establishment enable it to give. For particulars see bill, in another column. Cuataam Tueatre.—Pantomimes appear to be the order of the day. The peculiar talents of Thorne’s excellent company, enable him to give all the gems of the profession, whether it be tragedy, comedy, melo-drama, pantomime, or farce, with the most powerful effect. The last pantomime, called the “Black Raven of the Tombs,” was well received last night by a large and fashionable audi- ence. It is really a splendid affair, and we predict for the manager a profitable run. The entertain- ments this evei.ing are for the benefit of Mr. R. W. Pelham, the inimitable extravaganza singer, and a capital bill is offered.

This indicates in the most cheering manner, the growing strength of the legitimate drama in the young empire of the West. Just in this way did the old play-wrights of Athens dramatise their do- mestic tragedies, which, ‘‘married to immortal verse,” still kindle our passions, and cause our hearts to thrill with pity, sympathy and awe. “For particulars see small bills.” Why do they not send us one of those deeply interesting documents? Do let us have one, Mr. Clarke, by thenext mail. The reference made by the editor of the paper in which the announcement appears (the ‘Daily In- quirer”) is te good to be lest. Here it is:— ‘This is Bannister’s night atthe National. Bannister is a favorite with the Queen City play goers, and since he has joined the Washingtonians, ho is decidedly so with us, n. gedies will both be presented, not only as an actor, but The Somersand Colt t with other pleasiug varieties. Thecasts are good, and we venture to say all will be well sustained. Thisis one of the most touching notices we have met with tor along time. The delicacy andepi- grammatic point of the allusion to the little frailties of the great tragedian, and his first appearance in a new character, are probably unsurpassed in diurnal literature. “The Somers and Colt tragedies will both be presented, with other pleasing varieties.” It would appear from this thata slight dash of eecen- tricity mingles with the refined dramatic taste of our modern Athenians. It may be however, that when we,in this less favored region,reach an equal degree of refinement, we shall enjoy with equal goftt such “pleasing varieties” as the Somers and Colt trage dies. We should be much gratified, at all events, in ini insight into the nature of these ‘ieties,” and therefore we repeat our request to be favored with one of the ‘small bills” by the respectable stage manager, Mr. Napoleon Buonaparte Clarke. 54 City Intelligence. ‘Tur Last Freancrer’s Tricx.—On Saturday night a very respectably dressed man stepped into Wood's collar, Broadway, afew doors above Scarf’s popular and genteel hotel, and ordered one hundred oysters to be sent to the corner of Green and Bleecker streets, stating at the same time, that the boy who took them must be supr lied with change for a three dollar note, 9g that was the smallest note the gentlemen at the house had about them. The oysters were sent according to order , but before the boy had reached the house he was met by the person who had bespoke them, who said that the gentleman of the house had got tired of waiting, and had went tothe cellar, and left the note,with an understanding that he was to receive the change from the boy.
