Tue Poerry or Porrics—Joun Jones’ Ope on rue Great Tyter Muss Merring—A Worp oF Apvics Iv Humsix Prose.—Whilst the Great Muss Meeting in the Tabernacle convulsed men in New York with laughter, it has inspired John Jones at Washington, withthe most glowing poetic fervor. Distance, it has been said, lends enchantment to the view; but in this caséit has done more than beatily the vision—it has breathed the fires of Ossian into the decent dullness of John Jones. We expected that the news of th. great movement would mighti- ly rejoice the heart of John; but we really did not anticipate such ecstacies of poetical enthusiasm as find utterance in the Madisonian of Monday last.— Ecce Signum. “TH MUSS CONV MINATION OF JOH FOR THE PRESID ; « Let the Patriot’s heart reJoice ! The Republican spirit of the land Has arisen from its slumbers! The issue Has been tried, and the People have prevailed ! The President well knew that Virtue dwelt ‘Among the People, and that they would not Let one whose hist’ry as Chiet Magistrate, Is but an exhibition of services In the popular cause, be trampled on Persecuted and destroy He has said Over and over again, that he would Win for the People, or would perish with The People! TION IN NEW _YORK—NO- TYLER BY THE PEOPLE SY IN 1544. The Peorle,—the noble and The generons, the ever-vigilant And the intelligent People,—his great Constituency,—the working men, The hardy laborer,the mechanic, ‘The farmer,—have heard the lotty voice Which has proclaimed their rights, and arising In their majesty, have marched with an Unflinching front, shield locked within shield, ‘And the flag of the stars and stripes flying Above their heads, on to the attack, ‘And victory ! No fear now, we proclaim ‘That the Republic is safe! Th’ immortal ea of Jefferson, Madison, and Monroe may rejoice ! Inmotion. Fellow-cit! Of the Republic—to arm Such are the lofty strains in which the soar- ing muse’ of the poetic Jones, celebrates the vic- tory of Joho Tyler, over the paltry factions of Clay, Calhoun and Van Buren. We do not think that Captain Bob Tyler himself has ever written anything half so ‘pretty. And this is the way in which great events should be recorded. So have the deeds and histories of the great heroes of the past, been written in the world’s chronicles; and why should not the victories of Tylerism be ** wedded to immortal verse,” by a bard so worthy of the theme ? After letting off the steam in the sublime man- ner we have just exhibited, John Jones comes to particulars, and thus continues his poetic flight: In this great meeting in New York there is no Evidence of a Legislative or Congressional Caucus, there is nothing seen of the Aristocracy of Democracy. Five thousand Democvats, and fifteen hundred or two ‘Thousand Republican Whigs, burying their Past differences in respect to men, For they have never differed in respect ‘To measures, have taken their seats together 9 On the Democratic platiorm. Old and stern Reputlicans, whose heads Have grown grey in the cause of Democracy} And equal rights, sat down together, a ‘And have spuken their sentiments to their fellow citizens notonly af their great State, But ofthe Union, The merting embraced one-fourth O/ the voters in the city of New York. The lowest estimate numbers six thousand, ‘The highest nine or ten. This is funny. John Jones is a humorist aswell asa poet. The Mudisonian then quotes what is styled the ‘official account” of the meeting from the “able organ of the Administration,” and here comes the best of the joke. ‘This “ official” report contains merely the resolutions and address, which no one heard, and gives, of course, no indications whatever of the character, and results of the migh- ty ‘Muss Convention.” The tremendous cheers for the “‘ Farmer of Ashland”—the funny and some- times impertinent dialogues, and pithy but expres- sive speeches in the galleries and the body of the house—the fragment of a speech made by Caleb Cushing—the entrée and dignified hauteur of Mike Walsh—the broken benches and smashed gas-lights —the broken heads and bloody noses—and the expeditious adjournment amid “groans for Tyler,” cheers for “Harry of the West,” and the rows be- tween the Oustom-house officers and the Clay men, are all leftout. It is like the Tragedy of Hamlet with the character of the Prince omitted. It is quite needless to repeat, that the meeting was an entire failure. Nothing, in fact, remained next moraing, of the ‘‘ muss,” or the Tyler party, except a large grease spot representation of the solu ble fat in Mejor Noah’s unwieldy carcase. Seriously, we repeat our friendly advice to the Administration. Cease at once all these vain efforts to secure a re-election. By a steadfast, upright and diligent attention to the great public duties which devolve upon it; by an earnest devotedness to the cause of the people, testified not by the ludicrous vapoting of John Jones’ rhetorical efforts, but by a faithfy! discharge of oublic duty ; by aveiding the defiting contact of worn-out political hacks and un- principed office-seekers; by turning a deaf ear to the deusive advice of sycophancy, and cherishing the hqest ambition of earning the enduring repu- tation of fidelity and disinterested patriotism—the present administration will eventually obtain the gratitule even of the worst foe, and transmit to coming generations an undying fame. But if this wholesome advice, which the common sense of all disinterested men must sanction, be despised, and the ludicrous and yet melancholy efforts to create a new party and secure a re-election, be protracted, defeat and shame are inevitable. We only add, that this advice must be taken immediately, or re- pentanee may come too late. Tne Court Martian at Brooxiyn.—The pro- ceedings before the Court Martial in the case of McKenzie hi ve at last terminated. The Court will speedily come.to a decision, and the case will then go before the revising power. Inthe hands of the government the whole affair will be properly dealt with. But the violence of factious feeling—the hot blood of antagonist families—the bitterness of par- tizanship will long live, and no one can see what the end of these things shall be. $5000 Rewarp-—The street cleaners of the city have not been heard of for some weeks last past Feariul apprehensions are entertained by their friends, and partcularly by Aldermen Balis and Davies, that they have been either swept off, or suok in some slough, or overwhelmed beneath some avalanche. The above reward will be paid by the Mayor for their discovery. It is not expeeted that any brooms will be tound upon them, as they are asl left at the Contractors’ office. Persons looking for them will please examine the gutters, mad the snow-banks in all parts of the city ForTHER FROM THE Concorp. —We have received accounts, by the way of England, from Table Bay to December 23d, which mention the arrival at that port of the Portuguese brig Uniao, trom Quillimaine river, with the surviving officers and crew of the Concord, It appears that James Davis, is the name of the seaman downed Sream Snir Grear Western —This steamer is safe; she rode through the gale gallantly. Capt. Delano, of the Mercator, at New Bedford, reports having seen her on Saturday last, 18th, in lat. 40 30, jong. 71 80, scudding under close reefed topsails and steaming. She was also seen by Capt. Palmer, of the Southerner, on the 17th, in lat. 40 50, lon. 71. Eartuqvake at Monrretier, Ve.—We learn that a distinct shock of an earthquake was felt at Montpelier, Vt., last Tuesday. about nine o'clock, P. M., accompanied by a rumbling noise, much like st of a heavy wagon passing over frozen ground Rerortixne.—Thie Courier of yesterday makes some allusions to the reports of the arguments in the Somers’ case, in the Circuit Court. As the Herald was the only paper which reported these at- guments, our reports must be those referred to. The Courier speaks in complimentary terms of the fidelity and accuracy with which the speeches ef | Messrs. Butler and O'Conner were given, but asserts that those of Commander McKenzie’s counsel were not given fully or correctly. The last insinuation is quite unfounded. We gave Mr. Duer’s speech at very great length and with strict fidelity, and our original intention was to give only one speech on each side, at full length. But as Mr. Duer intro- duced a great amount of irrelevant matter and per- | sonalities, to which Mr. O’Connor furnished an apprepriate reproof,we gave the speech of the latter, gentleman in full. With respect to Mr. Griffin, as he went over precisely the same ground as his learn- ed associate, and indeed used for the most part almost the same language, our not reporting him at length, was not only excusable but proper. Our chief object in noticing this matter now, at all, is in order to correct the false impression which the paragraph in the Courier was evidently intended to make. We must again disclaim, in the most decided manner, any imputation of partiality or injustice to either of the parties in this case. We have, it is true, maintained, from the moment we came to a knowledge of the real facts in this case, the opinion that Cromwell was executed without a particle of evidence of guilt—that against Small there was exceedingly doubtful evidence—and that Spencer should have been and could have been brought home for trial; but we have never hesi- tated to do full justice to Commander McKenzie. We have regularly spread the deiences of his friends of the Courier and American before our numerous readers, and 1n all reports of proceedings in this case,we have done him that even-handed jus- tice, which we uniformly render to all parties in whose cases the public feel interested. Late anp Imvortanr From Haytt.—The Fair field, Captain Smith, arrived last night in thirteen daysfrom Portau Prince. Capt. S. has given us im- portantintelligence of the revolution in Heyti It appears that it was moving ahead with great ra- pidity, and the whole island is ere this completely under the government of the patriots. The patriot army was within twenty miles of Port au Prince, andthat place had been strongly fortified to resist them. Aux Cayes had fallen into their hands, and this gives to them the entire south of the island. There wassome hard fighting in taking that town. After this capture, the patriot army marched to Leogone, where there force amounted to 15,000 men. Their next move was for Port au Prince, where President Boyer had but 4000 men under his command. He was determined to resist to the last, and ordered all females disposed to fright to retire onboard the vessels in the harbor. All valuables had been shipped, and every arrangement made for flight. There did not exist a doubt but that the city would fall into the hands of the patriots, and be gi- ven upto pillage. They are determined to drive Boyerout of the island. This, of course, causes great stagnation in business—indeed,it is completely prostrated. The principal demands of the Haytiens are a re- vision of the Constitution; for the one in force since 1816, provided that it should be revised in nine years, which Boyer has resisted—that the Presi- dent shall henceforth be elected for five er seven years, and not for life—that the enormous standing army shall be dismissed, the country not being able to support the expense—and that Boyer shall be made to give astrict account of the finances, and re- fund what he has sent out of the country on his pri- vate account. The United States brig Bainbridge, Capt. John- son, was at Port au Prince, and would remain till the disturbances were over. Navat.—We learn from Captain Copeland, of the Ellen, that the U. S. ship Vincennes, Captain Buchanan, arrived at Trinidad de Cuba on the 2ist of February, and sailedon her cruise on the 26th. In going into that harbor on the 20th, the pilot ran the ship ona shoal, off Cayo Blanco, where she re- mained twelve hours, but was got off without sus- taining the least injury. We are informed that previous to the Vincennes’ arrival at Trinidad, she had touched off the “ Isle of Pines,” and that an expedition consisting of three boats, eight officers, and forty men, under the com- mand of Lieut. J. K. Mitchell, accompanied by Lieut. Wainwright and Purser Bryan, were des- patched to make a thorough examination of the Isle of Pines, and all the adjacent Keys. They were fully armed, and provisioned for thirty days ; and it is to be hoped they will succeed in breaking up the piratical haunts, said to exist in those places. The officers and crew of the Vincennes were ali well Mustcat.—Mr. Henry Russell, the celebrated vo- calist, whose return from England we have already noticed, arrived in town yesterday, and will on Tuesday next commence in this city, a series of concerts. His musical career in England has been one of great brilliancy, trom one end of that king- dom to the other. He has brought out with him several entirely new and popular songs, and we kaow of no vocalist who would at this present time be received by a New York audience with more favor than Mr. Henry Russell. Negotiations are on foot, as we understand, to bring out to this country, Mr. Templeton and Madame Pauline Garcia, for the Park theatre, Should these negotiations prove successful, they may be expected to arrive sometime in May or June next. Mr. Templeton sustains a high reputation as a tenor singer, and is withal a very handsome man. Madame Garcia is said to be very much improved lately, and indeed to be almost equal to her sister, Madame Malibran. We trust these negotiations will prove successful, Their appearance in New York would produce quite a sensation. Our Leaistature.—We are indebted to Pome roy & Co. for Albany papers of yesterday morning. We find the following in one of them :— ApjourNment oF THE LeaisLarure.—The Assem- bly yesterday, by a strong vote, concurred in the Senate’s amendment fixing on Tuesday, the 18th of April for the adjournment of the Legislature. ‘To Western Mercuants. —The Ohio at Wheel- ing, on Saturday, had eight feet of water inthe chan nel—clear of ice, and falling. At Pittsburg, on the same day, there were six feet of water in the chan- nel, and at Cincinnati, on Friday, the river was rising fast, and from 25 to 30 feet of waterin the channel to Louisville. Discracerut.—The exhibition of the prize fight ers at the Park Theatre. This is really a gross in- sult to the respectable play going public. At the Bowery such brntal displays are in character, but such a desecration of the boards of “Old Drury”? is intolerable. MrSimpson you must take care. Change your tactics at once. Rivat to Tom Tnums.—There is a giant boy now exhibiting in Boston, who is eleven years old, and weighs two hundred and sixty-five pounds. He isa Yankee production. Come, Barnum, stir your stumps, we must have him in Gotham. Court of Common Pleas, March 22.—Dectsiexs.—John Me Sorley vs. Hoey & Lea y, This was an action brought by the plaintiff, M MeSorley, against the defendants, as executors of one Thomas MeSorley, deceased. It app the cause, that Mrs. McSorley, as exe fendants, borrowed from the plaintitt due by the estate, and gave her own n The defendants subsequently took up t executors,their own for the debt, by that the estate would pay $100, for vaiue received, kee The plaintiff sued the debt individually, and the case was tried in December last; and on the trial, the Judge nonsuited the plaintiff, on the ground that they were not individually liable in that ferm of action The plaintiff’ counsel excepted to euch decision ; and alter argument on care made, the Court held that the non suit was not properly grented, and ordered a new trial, For plaiatift, John &. and James W. White; for the | defendants, Messrs, Bixly and Sherman, $100 to pay a debt ote for the amount. his noteand gave as which they promised The Assassination of Corlis, The examination before Coroner Archer was continued yesterday afternoon, at3 o'clock, in the Court of Sessions room. The room was comfortably filled at the com- menceinent of the investigation, and several hun- dreds were laboring at the doors to obtain entrance. Mr. auc Mrs. Colton came into the court room, and soon after the Coroner took his seat. Mrs. Colton was seated directly in the rear of her husband, in the centre of the court room. She appeared more cheerful, and her face betokened a more agreeable night’s rest than om the day previous. The warmth ot the room created a flush on her countenance that gave her a peculiarly agreeable expression, which was not apparent during the examination on Tuesday. She remained during Tuesday evening in one of the rear rooms of the Police office, accom- panied by herfemale mulatto servant, and guarded by police officers selected for that purpose. Mr. Colton appeared as usual, self-possessed and com- posed, but held no conversation with his wife du- ring the investigation. No new facts were elicited in the testimony that tends to throw any light upon the mystery involved in this extraordinary murder. The woman who said she was from Green street, and “had run hike arace horse,” was called as a witness; but she denied having run through the street, as she came down from her house to Vesey street. A number of particulars, relative to the weman who called at the boarding house of Corlis, the deceas- ed, in Leonard street, on the evening previous to the murder, was elicited, confirming the first report as contained in the Herald, and several witnesses partially identified the bonnet found in the apart- metns of Mrs. Colton, as the one worn by the woman who had called at the boarding house to to enquire for Corlis. Mr. Adams testified to hav- ing seen a woman leave the house where Mrs. Col- ton lodged, at about half-past six o’clock on Mon- day evening, whose dress appeared to resemble that of the one seen with Corlis afterwards. But there was no positive testimony elicited to throw a ray of light upon the dark mystery. The body of Mr. Charles G. Corlis,we;understand, will be interred from his late residence, this after- noon at four o’clock. The first witness called by‘the Coroner, after the jury had answered to their names, was Joux Apams, who was upon the stand yesterday, who deposed as follows:—I passed through Vesey street three times during last Monday; the first time in the morning about pine o’clock; the second time somewhere about twe o’clock; the third time about twenty-five minutes past:six o’clock. Q—Did you on eitherof these occasions see a woman come out of a house in Vesey street ? A—I did. Isaw a woman come out of the house on which the name of Wallace is on the door on a silver plate, the last time I passed through the street ; she passed down Vesey street, and turned up Church; I passed across Church street on the opposite side; | did not know the lady; I saw her side face; I heard a door slam to, and Icast my eyes across the street, and saw a woman coming down the steps, and she went down the street on a hop and a jump; she had on a light hat; 1 do not know whe- ther it was straw or si I did not observe the trimming of the hat; if she had aveil, it was thrown over her right shoulder; she on adark shawl, commonly ealled a cardinal; it w rker than the dress she had under it; I should think da fringe to it; I noticed that the dress was lighter than the shawl; I lost. sight of her after. she togo up Church street; this was nearly an hour after Ihad seen Corlis atthe Terrapin Lunch; I am not acquainted with Mrs. Colton;I never saw her to know her befere I saw her in Court here; I knew that Colton’s family had lived in that house from seeing his name for- merly upon the door. By aJuron—I was on the left hand side of Vesey street going towards the North river, when 1 saw the woman; it ‘was in the dusk of the evening, not dark. Question by Cororen.—Do you think that there is an Yesemblance between the woman you saw and Mrs. Col- ton, now here? nat —Icould not say,the woman was about five feet igh. mMoTHy Griscout, a boy, called and sworn.—t live at 197 Orange street, I worked at Mr. Corlis’s saloon, at 360 Broadway.

He said he had the or der to go before the Grand Jury the next day, and that if he lived he sheuld go, or words to that eflect; he said, however, that he unserstood that Mr. Colton’s folks were willing to drop it and settle the affair; and then said, that he should not appear against him. He also said that the day previous he met Mr. Colton in thestreet and passed him; 1 then asked him if there was any sign of recognition between the two; he said “no; immediately after I asked him if he still continued to be afraid of his life; he answered me that “he was;”I then said to him in my familiar way, the manner in which I had spoken to him, “now, Charley, I will tell you what Ihave heard within a short time, that you had better clear out from New York immediately or your life will be taken;” I'then told him who my author was for making that aster- tion; he had asked me who | had heard make that remark; [told him that it was agentleman by thename of W. W Sevier, and that he had heard this remark pass a short time previous; he said “he knew that such had been the remark, but not from the same source;” | then said to him “if such were the facts he ought to be careful about being in the street,” as I thought that ifthe remarks were true he would never live to go before the Grand Jury; [ also said I was afraid he would not live twenty four hours if those remarks were true; that was the last that passed between us except his saying that he should be very careful and should not go out. By Junon.—I came to thesejconclusions mere from what Corlis said than from what Sevier told me; he previously told me that he carried a pistol; this was after the first nt- tack; I had heard such remarks frequently from himself as well as from others, Ido not know that any of these persons knew Mr. Colton ; Mr. Sevier told me the sub- stance of what hesaid about half an hour before { saw Corlis on Monday; he said he had heard a person by the name of Monroe makethat remark; Mr. Sevier was for- merly with Mr. Calvin Howe in Maiden iane. [Mr. Sevier and Mr. Monroe were here called but did not eral Preston H. Hones, one of the proprietors of the Carl- ton House was recalled—Question by Coroner—When you and Mr. Bates passed out of the door, did you per- ceive a female pass by you? ‘A—I did not. Q—Mr. Bate: saw a female? A—Mr. Bates was ahead of me and my attention was directed to that part of the street from whence the report of the pistol was heard. Steruen C.

A.—She was a middling sized woman; I did not see her face; I think it was covered w th a green veil; I think she had on a straw hat; I think it was a light one; the veil was covered over her bonnet so much that | cannot tell the color of the bonnet; I think she had on a dark shaw!; I do not know whether it was a cardinal or not; it was a Jarge shawl; I simply answered her question, and had no other conversation with her. ‘The name of Evizanetn Skinner, the servant, was cal Jed, but not answering, an officer was despatched to 108 Leonard street for her.

There wasa little better feeling in the stock market to- day, and prices generally improved—Kentucky 6’s rose # Ohio 6's § ; Illinois 6 14 ; Farmers’ Loan 4. The anticipation of return of stock by the steamer for sale, do not appear to’ have been realized, with the excep tion of a few pledged Kentucky’s. We have received the letter of Col. Young, Secretary of the State of New York, to the Committee oz the Judiciary, relative to the unconstitutionality of the law of April 9th, 1842. The substance of the letter is, that the present State constitution requires that “all bills appropriating the public money to local or private purposes,” shall be passed by a “ majority of two thirds of the members elect- ed to each branch of the Legislature,” or that the assent of eighty-six in the assembly and twenty-two in the Sen- ate is requisite to every such bill. All the bills passed loaning the see cs the State have been in violation of these provisions'hence the letter states as follows :— sof outstanding stocks are now impending over » Which were created by laws in clear and direct 'y with’the plain provisions of the constitution. These awd were null and void from their inception, and cannot impose even the shadow of a moral obligation for the ful- filment df their ostensible demands. hether the people ‘| of the State will qujetly bow their necks to the yoke, and pay @ premiym upon legislative wickedness and encroach- oid be disclosed by the future.

The position assumed is undoubtedly correct. If legislators transcend the pow- ers laid down for them in the constitution exp:essly w ten for them, their acts, under such circumstances, ie no mere that of the people of New York than of France, and they can in no shape be held responsible. Many of the States have passed stay-laws, but those laws are null and void by the late decision of the United States Court. On proving that the laws referred to are unconstitutional, they stand equally nulland void, and the stockholders must look only to the mountebanks that passed them.— The time is come when legislators will be held strictly re- sponsible for their acts. At the New Board there was more doing and the prices higher. Illinois was better in consequence of the receipt yesterday of a prospectus from abroad of the Irish Catholic Emigration Company, capital £200,- 000—the leading features of which ere te buy and aettie land, the settler to receive wages for three years, and the produce to be the property of the company. At the end of the time the settler to have a pre emption right of pur- chase. The company to build churches and schools and bear the expense until the lands are sold. ‘The principle of taxation for the preservation of State eredit is fully supported,and the fertility of the Illinois land fully appre- ciated. During the past year a great increase in value has ta- ken place in stocks generally, thereby improving the con- dition of most of the Free Banks, whose stocks last year ‘Were measured by the market value of their assets. Those banks which held the latter descriptions of stocks have undergone a great change in this particular, which may be expressed by the following table.
