Wall street continues to be in a tremendous state of excitement, in relation to the late Jacob Shipman robbery. Every one is crying out, “where in God’s name is this to end?” ‘“ What are we coming to?” ‘Js it possible that Miller is right after, all?” There isno necessity for all this excitement about a paltry robbery of only $100,000 at the most, and probably only $30,000,in good bankable funds, How can any man escape the contagion of Wall street? Shipman is not by any means so great a rogue as dozens yet not found out. Do we not see the Wall street financiers who have robbed Banks, Trust Companies, and all sorts of institutions, taking the lead in fashionable society—sitting on the high places in the church—and occupying a lofty position atthe bar? Seeing all distinction between honesty and roguery destroyed, it should not surprise us to find a Shipman start up every week. In the mean time, let us all be glad and rejoice, that the sun yet shines and the seasonsreturn. The following are further particulars from the Phila! delphia papers :— {From the Philadelphya Enguirer.] A Svvrotep Apsconvixnc Deraviter—Jacom Sur yisw.—Much excitement was produced in the city yeste day, by the pearance of Jacob Shipman, an indivi- dual who has been engaged for several years as @ messen- ger between the Banks and Brokers of New York and Phi- He has been in the habit of carrying packages ey, and on some occasions has had an sggregate amount ashigh as $200,000 entrusted to him, On one oc- cagion, not long since, snuff was thrown into an attempt was made to rob him,and on another, 8 8e- creted themselves in lus dwelling to await his return,witk the same bad object. It appears that on the afternoon of Wednesday last, Shipman, or ashe was familiarly called, « Jake,” called at the various brokers and banks to obtain their packages, and started in the pilot line at 5P. M. No alarm was felt with regard to him until yesterday morn- ing; then his unaccountable absence ledto the belief that he had been waylaid, and perhaps robbed and murdered. It was subsequently ascertained that he proceeded on ‘Wednesday as faras Trenton ; that he there hired a horse and gig and returned to this city—that the next morning he was seen at the cars on Broad street—that he there paid $14 for his passage to Pittsburg, and also gave $5 toan in- dividual who knew him, to retarn with the horse and gig to Trenton. His Pittsburg ticket was obtained in the name of Mr. Johnson. He appeared to be in good spirits, was gay and jovial as usual, and drank wine with the per- son whom he accosted. We have reports also, that he was quite lively and cheerful at Trenton on Wednesday night. 1 pposed that Shipman had a large sum of money with him at the time—perhaps $75,000. It is probable that the amount placed in his hands by the Philadelphia broders, did not reach $10,000, and this sum divided among quite a number. He hada check, however, given him by one Philadelphia house on a New York Bank, for $20,- 000, the money for which he of course did not obtain. The larger amount of the funds with him, belongs to New York Banks and brokers, as it is known that he brought on a considerable amount of foreign gold from that city, to be placed in the Philadelphia Mint for recoinage. We have traced $16,000 of this money. $10,000 in French gold he exchanged at the Philadelphia Bank for notes of that Institution, and a broker deposited $5000 more in the Farmers’ and Mechanics’ Bank, for which he obtained a check Itis possible that other sums given him in New York have not yet been ascertained. He has a wife and three or four children residing in Union street, below Third, and before he lefton Thursday, he went home and obtained @ new suit of clothes. He has heretofore been a kind husband and father, and those who have trusted him for years, find it very difficult to believe that he is the hase scoundrel that circumstances would seem to in- fer. His movements throughout warrant the worst sus- picions. We have arumor that gambling and the pur- e of lottery tickets have been attributed to him of More or THE Mussina Messencer.—We have heard a few more particulars in relation to Shipman, whose mys terious disappearance was the town talk in the monetary circles yesterday. He among those whe attended the fire at the city storeson Wednesday visited a tavern in the neighborhood, and d with several friends, He did not stay with his family that night, which consists of a wife and fourdaughters, the latter quite young. Oc bis way towards Trenton, the conduc- tor noticed him as far as Bordentewn, but has no recol- lection of seeing him beyond that point. He stood on platform outside the cars, and appeared une: armed with one of Colt’s pistols, as well as a knife, as was his custom when in charge of money. He took break- fost at Clark’s Tavern, Broad street, on Thursday morn- ing. He placed the horse and gig in charge of aman namei Michael Herring. Persons wko observed him at the fire say that he seemed somewhat excited, but was apparently in excellent spirits. The most unbounded confidence was placed in him. A friend informs us that he has known him to havecharge of $200,000 in gold at one time. He went in the slow line to Pittsburg on ‘Thursday morning, when he cousd have gone in the fast line on Wednesday night. A gentleman thinks he recog- nized himas high up at Lancaster. Coroner's Investigation on the Death of Sarah Jane Devine. The investigation before the Coroner was continued yesterday afternoon at the Alms Honse building. Mrs. Keron, mother of Henry Ketchum, was recalled —and stated that she had received a letter from the brother of the deceased, enquiring where she was, but did not answer it, because she did not know where she was, and Iso that one of her,sons was deadin the house at the tine Josern Strana, the uncle of deceased, who resides at Peekskill, was called—He stated that he supposed the fa. ther of deceased was in prison at Blackwell's Islaad; she Jearned the milliner’s trade at Peekskill, and then returned to this city with the intention of going to work for Miss Wright, in Brooklyn ; instead of that, she went to live with Mrs. Ketchum, a letter was sent to Mrs. Devine, the grandmother of the deceased, at Peekskill; it was anony mous; I went to New York to ascertain the cause of death of ed, after we had received the letter from Mrs. Brown; on returning I consulted with the friends of de- ceased, and we came to the conclusion that if there had been any eriminality on the part of any one, we could not prove it: and that it would make a great noise if in- vestigated, and decided not to proceed in the matter. fusing participancy in any public exultation at his acquit- Zsocn EB.

Jous J. Ware, another brother-in-law of Mr. Beal, was called—He took the body from the house in the Bantcerr Jopoe was called, and stated that Mr. Brown had toldhim that hethought when he put the body into the coffin that she had been poisoned to death. Da. C.R. Gruman called and sworn—Puerperal convul- sions generally occur with the first child; any thing that produces congestion of the brain will produce puerperal convulsions; they more commonly occur at the com- mencement of labor; my opinion is that the ion is well settled thata child may be born or delivered after the mother is dead; there are a great many cases on re- cord where this thing has actually occurred.

There can be no two opinions on this point. Yet this ver- diet was not, on the whole, so opposed to law, as the tumultuous joy of Philadelphia was hostile to propri- ety, taste, and sound judgement. It is an absolute fact that a public meeting has passed resolutions, complimenting New Jeysey for that verdict, and permitting her to enter the Union hereafter. Here are a few astounding extracts from the Philadelphia papers :— (From the Philadelphia Times.} OG Ata meeting of the citizens of Southwark, yes- terday,' it was generously resolved, that in consideration of the handsome conduct of the Woodbury Jury in the Mercer case, the State of New Jersey be taken into the Fe- deral Union!!!

Tre Mercer Daama—Tovenn trial of Singleton Mercer tor th dishonorer of his sister, is one of those rare and promi- nent events in the history of humanity, which serve landmarks for an age, and thus become the object of re- mark and discussion for a generation. With all the dc. tails of the trial, the evidence, the legal pleadings,&c. our readers are famili shez h ve also been enabled to form some idva of the unive ympathy entertained for the prisoner—the instinct nd chivalric feeling on the art of the prblic, for the safety of one who had heroical- iy risked all in defen the defenceless—but tt was thé scene alone presented in Court when the prisoner was a quitted, that can furnish anything like an adequate idea of the overwhelming nature of that sympathy. At half-past five o’clock on Thursday afternoon, Court-house bell was rung to assemble the inet in the Court Room. The jury entered while the bell was ring- ing, and it is ditficult imagine the crowd, that with anxious faces, stood straining their eyes, as it to catch from the countenance of each juror an idea of the verdict. From the very nature of the case, and the public _excite- ment existing upon the subject, an outbreak of feeling wos expected. The Judge, and the Attorneys upon both sides, desired that the audience would respect the dignity of the Court, whatever might be the result Still, when the verdict of ‘not guilty!” was rendered, in spite of all that could be said or done, in spite of all the better feelings of those present, one general shout of joy burst throug! the building, anda rush was made by the spectators in every quarter of the room towards the prisoner, in order to congratulate him on his) recovered freedom. While this was going on, the uproar was tremendous. The Court pleaded in vain for silence. ‘The attornies, even of the prisoner, cried “shame! shame!” but without effect. ‘The popular heart was beating, and would not be con. trolled. Nature was speaking in her own thunder-tones of feeling, andthe cold, conventional rules of propriety were cast scornfully aside in the vast heaving impulse of that exciting moment. Another touching scene was, when young Mercer, liberated from prison, and followed by the cheers of the rejoicing multitude, reached the house in Woodbury, where his father, mother, and siste1 stood waiting for him. He had perilled his life in defence of their honor and good name, and they felt how much he deserved of them for his bravery. First his mother caught him in her ar and wept over him, as one just snatched from an ignomini- ous death, while she murmured—for excess of joy would only let her murmur—her praise for his deliverance. Then his young sister-—the betrayed—the lost—the ruin- ed one—with a shriek of delight, fell at his knees, and after sobbing as if her heart would break with its over- burthened load of gratitude, implored him to forgive her. “Forgive! forgive me, my dear brother—forgive your erring, but never wrong-hearted sister, who, led astray by the false arts of a villainous dissembler, disgraced her dear tather and mother,and made wretched the fond hearts of all who loved her! Forgive the wretched, the un- thinking creature, who could so wickedly put the life of her noble, brother in jeopardy, and who is now too poor jim in anything but tears for avenging her He raised up his sis'er, fell on her neck, kissed her forgave her from the bot- ind trusted that the world would treat All were affected felt constrained to leave the room. The same evening, young Mercer visited at Woodbury the counsel for the Commonwealth. Me thanked them for the courtesy they had extended to him ; said that he entertained no harsh feelings towards them, and that they had dene but their duty. In the course of the evening, he received some capital advice from his counsel. Mr. Vroom gave him some ex. ceedingly salutary lessons for his future guidance ; while on every side his own conduct was depicted as marked with nothing but the evidences of the nicest propriety. Yesterday morning it was known he would return to this city. “Anticipating a crowd, his friends thought it le to bring him up privately, and hence he accom- panied the hi of the family in @ private carriage to Gloucester Point, and thus reached by the way of the Point House, the residence of his father in Queen street. In the meantime the crowd gathered about Walnut street wharf at which the Camden Ferry boat arrives. About 11 o’clock, the “ John Fitch”—the very boat on which the dreadful tragely occurred—came to the wharf, having on board, not Singleton Mercer, but h father, and his five counsel, Messrs, Browne, Vroom, Wall, Matlock and Sloan. The balcony in front of Bloodgood’s Hotel was filled with ladies, and amid the multitude below a great number of the softer sex could also be perceived. As the boat touched the shore, one ter- rific huzza! rent the air, and the gentlemen threw their hats up, and the ladies waived their white handkerchiefs inthe wind. It seemed like some gala-day, Mr. Mercer, Sr., and the legal gentlemen walked through the crowd— Messrs.

(Correspondence of the Herald.) . Rio pr Janarro, Feb. 5, 1848. ‘The Brazitian Tariff—Movements of the English— State of the Empire—Americans in Trouble at the Custom House— Is there no Remedy?—&c. &c. The Herald is read with intense interest by the merchants of this port. There is no newspaper so much sought for, and it will alwaysgive me pleasure to add any information I can to its columns. By the fast sailing Odessa, I send you some papers and the latest price Current, containing a |i Pail the shipping in port. Flour, the principal article of import from the States, is heavy, and will not net the first cost. The Tariff of this country will be al- tered, and a higher rate of duties laid on almost every thing. Mr. Ellis, British Minister Plenipo- tentiary Extraordinary, has not succeeded in ne gociating a new treaty with this Government. The tardiness of the Brazilians don’t please him, and he is preparing to leave this for England, and it is sur- mised that, on hisarrival, “John Bull” will send out hisaccount for a settlement; the amount due to Great Britain, and her subjects enormous; per- haps more than seven-tenths of the business of this place is done with British capital. The United States, during the last year, supplied this ‘set with 140,448 bbls flour, besides other articles,such as domestics, wine, brandy, lumber, candles, iron, salt, &c.; and 180 yesels belonging to the U.S. A took away from this 354,866 bags cof- fee, which cost upwards of four millions of dollars. The whole number of bags shipped was 1,189,945, besides a considerable quantity of sugar, hides, &c., which is mostly paid for, with the proceeds, arising out of foreign product. _The revenue of this country must be immense, and still the government finances are said to bein a state of alarming embarrassment. The Ministers have all resigned, and those who have succeeded them are quarreling, and there is nothing hke har. mony or union to be found in this country, although the people are led to believe the espousal of the young Emperor, and that of Prince de Joinville to the Emperor’s sister, will act as a panacea oa the af- fairs of the nation, and lull both ministers and peo- ple into haleyon repose. Brazil is really a fine coun- try; but what is good land without good laws? or what are good laws when badly administered? The ex-ministersare, no doubt, men of talents and ability, but they have acted extremely wrong in displacing good officers, and doubly so by filling the vacancy with bad ones. I will name_one, for instance—Leopoldo Augusto da Camora Lima. This is an honest man, and the revenue will suffera great loss by his being out of office ; the word bribery was never found in his vocabulary; he is agentlemen of splendid talents, and was the best and most efficient Guarda Morthat ever filled that office—the regulations of the port were his test book, but he made use of no suoterfuges in car- tying them into effect; and, although a little of the Scotchman, haughty, he wasesteemed and respected by all the merchants. The Ex-Ministers made a leat error in promoting a decendant of Africa, by the name of Joaquim Pereira Vianna de Lima. Now read what tollows and agree with me. _ The “ Lexington” vee ee to New York, put into this port on her way to Montevideo, ina very leaky condition; three goveinment boats went on board, and the Captain was told that he might goon shore, and did so, (taking two passengers with him, who had given their passports to the boarding officer, who in return gave them permits to land) but he ha not been long with his consignees (Pearson, Brown & Co.) before an officer went there, and informed Mr. B. that the Captain of the Lexington had come on shore without being visited by the custom house boat, and that the vessel would be liable to pay a heavy fine unless Mr. Brown went immediately to the Guarda Mor and arranged the matter. Mr. B. lost no time in calling,with the captain, on his roval highness, who looking through a dark surface, sig- nificantly ordered the captain to go on board of his vessel again, which he instantly did, and late in the afternoon the Guarda Mor himself went on board to visit the Lexington and see what arrangement could be made with her captain, who, by the by, was suf. fering from agevere wound on his head, caused by the falling of a block from aloft, and should have been on shore under the care of a surgeon or phy- sician; but regardless of this, the Guarda Mor urged the fine, which he said the vessel had incurred by the captain going on shore, declaring the vessel should not be cleared until the fine was paid—neither should the captain go on shore. The captain as- sured the Guarda Mor that he had liberty trom one of the boarding officers to go on shore—that he was a stranger to the regulations of the port—that his vessel was ina sinking condition—his crew alm exhausted, and himself laboring under a severe in- jury which might be fatal—but this argued nothing. The next Pi be Captain being very ill, and deem- ing it proper his consignees, as well as the Ameri- can Consul, should be apprised of his situation, sent letters on board the guard ship, with a note to the officer in command, by his mate, (Mr. Heyt) but the officer of the aoe ship refused to receive either, and informed the mate that the “Lexington” could not be allowed any communication with the shore, or her boat go within gun shot of any vessel for three days; this was on Sunday, and the Captain was confined on board of his vessel until Tuesda) following, when the inspector liberated him, an allowed h im to enter his vessel at the Custom House, and informed him that he had incurred a fine ‘of 100)\000 per day,in consequence of his vessel not being entered at the Custom House twenty-four hours after having been visited; and that he had also incurred a fine of 100)000 for having gone on shore before he was regularly visited, and also 100/000 for having taken passengers on shore, without calling on board the guard ship,’and aso 100/000 for having allowed a shore boat (the one the Captain took to go on board in, when ordered to do so By the Guarda Mor) to go alongside of his vesse The money for these ridiculous fines was paid into the Custom House, against all of which the Captain protested, and sent his memorial to the Emperor, the result of which is not known. It is due to the Collector to say (~aturnino de Sonza_e Oliveira,) that he has recently resumed his office, and was not here when the shameful affair of the Guarda Mor took place. Ithink it will puzzle them to find a pretext tor re- taining the money so unjustly taken from ‘an un- offending Captain— Ist, Because the Captain went on shore in igno- rance of the regulations of the port, which he had never entered before. and understanding he had leave Veet him to do so. 2d. Because it was the first aay of the Guarda Mor and entero on boarding the Lexington, to have furnished the Captain w'th a copy of the re lations of the port, but which he has not until this hour received. 3. Because it is the duty of the Guarda Mor, asa public officer, to treat with urbanity and civility the officers of vessels he visits. 4 Because the Lexington could not be entered in the Ctstom House so long as the Captain was kept a prisoner on board of his own vessel by order of the Guarda Mor. _ 5. Because itis the custom of all civilized na- tions to extend to foreigners speaking a diflerent language, and unacquainted with the customs of their sea ports, every facility in theirpower, and not to interpret the laws when infringed through igno- rance, as if they had been infringed contemptucusly and wilfully.

I believe that the Bra- zilian government are unacquainted with the un- lawful acts done by their officers, but foreigners ought not to suffer by their negligence; it is their business to place proper men in office; if they did that, there would be no reason to complain of desti- tution, or the want of revenue—but that 1s their own business. .

There was an effort made yesterday in the House, by Mr. White of our city, (New York,) to run through the bill creating three additional Flour Inspectors for us. This bill has been on the general orders for a month, and would not have been disturbed during the session, had not our friend Swacky made his appearance in the lobby a day or twosince. You may recollect that he was an appli- cant for the office, and harrassed the Governor more than two monthstor the appointment. Being reyect- ed,he is now very disinterestediy anxious for the pas- sage of thislaw, being promised, no deubt, one of the places under. it.

Upon enquiry, | learn that the Tro- jans have been ina constant state of exultation ever since their memorable victory on the Bridge ques- tion,some two years since. They seldom fail of embracing every opportunity of benefitting them- selves at the expense of the unconscious Albanians. They have recently starteda project of this nature. Some six or eight years since, the Trojans foresaw, or imagined that the village of West roy, from its location on the canal, and having the advantage of aside cut into the river, must of necessity, become a great depot for the delivery of immense quantities of flour, lumber, and ais articles of merchandise, subject to the inspection laws. And as no autho- rity was given them to cross the river and inspect articles in Albany county, these enterprising Tro- ans procured the passage of a law attaching West Troy to Troy, and giving Greenbush to Albany— that is,allowing the inspectors of the two principal ci- ties to cross the river and pertorm the respective du- ties of their offices. This arrangement has ever since continued; ‘and during the whole period, the inspection of lumber, flour, staves, &c. has been ten times asmuch at West Troy as. it has been at Greenbush. Still not an Albany inspector was known to murmur. But now, since the completion of the Boston railroad, it seems probable that some portion of the flour destined for the eastern market will be delivered at Greenbush. Now the Trojans wish to repeal the law, and allow their inspectors the entire control of th» inspection at Greenbush. As the law was originally intended to accommo- date all parties, it should be suffered to remain asit is, especially as the flour delivered at the railroad depot is mostly owned by Albany merchants.— ‘These facts I glean from conversations held in Con- gress Hall. vie Si Bee oe 19, The municipal election is at hand inthis city.— (This reminds me of our election; and | must not neglect to vote for Morris, for I see by the Herald that he is on the course again. His majority can- not be under than 3000! Mark that, Master Greeley.) The papers are filled with the grossest and most vil- lainous attacks on candidates for election. The de- mocrats now in power, are industriously employed in exposing the villainies and rascalities of the whigs when they were in power; and the whigs are as ardently engaged in uttering complaints against the party now in power The whig nominee tor asy ot 1s represented as being one of the most wishy-washy, bigotted, prejudiced, teetotal, reli- gious fanatics ever known. He was once acciden- tally placed in the Senate, and instead of using what little influence he possessed in favor of his own city and immediate constituents, he actually voted for an jappropriation of ,000 which was used in the construction ofa railroad around his own city! —The candidate-for Mayor on the democratic fide appears to be well known in the city—he isof the manor born. Very little is said concerning him.-— Mr. Landon informed me that his popularity is de- rived from some exploit of his ancestor during the revolution. He too has been honored with a seat among the Senatorial dignitaries of yore; and to show his influence and strength in that body while a member, it is only necessary to advert to a single fact, and that is this; whenever a person wished any measure to pass that body, it was only necessary to induce Gansevoort to oppose it, and it was surely carried; and vica versa! t lam heartily disgusted with the thing, whom the people have designated as the Governor of the Em- pire State. Where is the manly character, the hon- esty of purpose, the goodness of heart, the undis- guised patriotism of Daniel D. Tompkins? Where is the talent, the exalted integrity, the unsurpassed ge- nius, the cultivated mind, the ripened scholar, the wise philosapher, De Witt Clinton? Where the de- decision of character, the pect execution of duty, the intimate knowledge of State affairs, and the ca- pacity of administeriug the government, as was ex- perienced during the time of William L. Marcy? And where the industry, the great ability, and ac- knowledged qualifications of William H. Seward? Alas! that the pioneer State of this nation—Aye,a nation within herself!—the envy of the whole Union —having no rival in the records of herstatesmen,her philosophers, her literati, and her democracy, should be so humiliated, so weakened as she now is, in the Exeeytive department! How can it be accounted for, that after being elevated to the station occupied 80 honorably by those distinguished men, and by a majority unequalled by either,he should,within three short months, be deserted by the heads of every de- partment? why it that a majority of the legislature composed too, of three-fourths of his own pohtical friends,should so soon enact laws curtailing his pow- er? why isit, thatthe whole people with the exception of the office holders, universally denounce him for his indescision and imbecility? I'll undertake a re- ply. It 1s because he has conferred official favors upon as many of his own children, and other mem- bers of his family in New York, Albany and Scho- harie, as places could be found for them. Hs has truckled with the despicable Joha Tyler in obtain- ing the Schenectady post office for one of his sons, and the supplying of Indian annuities in the city of New York, for another of his sons. He has been the means of thrusting upon the citizens of Albany, a man for post master, who could not be elected to the office of scavenger, by the votes of the people. And not content with the power in his own hands, he prowls about the canal, soliciting collectors to ap- point to clerkship, some of his own particular friends of Schoharie! What dignity! Would Clinton or Marcy thus have entered the political market places, and contended like gladiators for the petty spoils of office? Puor old Bouck might rather have reposed quietly upon his canal honors, than to have as- pired to an eminvnce unfitted for his capacity, and from which he will be hurled, the moment his pre- sent keqpers choose to uncage him! Let no demo- crat after this, ever allude to Harrison’s committee. Mr. Van Buren remains in the city. He called yesterday upon Lieutenant Governor Dickinson, at Congress Hall. It seems to have been the intention ot the party at the Capital, to obtain a legislative ex- reset favorable to his nomination at Baltimore. jut the stand taken by Colonel Young against the conservatives, and his determination to resist every expedient construction of the constitution for the benefit of railroad or any othet monopoly, has pre- vented Foster, Croswell & Co. from makin the at- tempt. The days of dictation are ended. Mr. Van Buren’s friends dare not ask the democratic mem- bers of the legislature, even in caucus, take up the question. He will retire to the poplar shades of “ Lindenwold,” without a legislative expression. The ion in the democratic party has now be- come apparent, and I fear the dissolution is inevita- ble. The cautions steps taken at the commence- ment of the session by the Sherwoods, Denniston, Ruger, Leland and Cadwell, are no longer employ- ed. They have enlisted with them, at this hour, a majority of the democratic members. This will be made manifest previous to the adjournment, by the removal of Croswell from the office of State printer. You may imagine me wild in may predictions, but I can assure you that it will be accomplished. The arrangements are nearly perfected. With respect, &c., Jos Smitu. ° .

Dear Sm:— Although hitherto there has been but one copy of your paper taken in this town, yet every body has something to say about it, and borrowing it every week, and before the week is out it is in a very tat- tered and dilapidated condition. Our Sheriff has, therefore, for his own and the public benefit, con- eluded to subscribe and take'your valuable paper.— The money 18 enclosed. What great mistakes ‘some of your city papers make in regard to our western country. I wonder ifthe editor of the Sun knows where Iowa is? He says, in one of his last papers, that there is a disa- greement between our Governor and legislature, about holding a session. This is all wrong. There is a difficulty in Wisconsin of that nature. I sup- pose that is what he meant. This town is in one of the most beautiful spots in nature, opposite the famous Rock Island, in the Mis- sissippi river, just atthe foot of what are called the “Upper” or “Rock Tang Bae It contains about 1000 Inhabicante, principally from Cincinnati and the eastern States. b Thistown was commenced in 1836. We have six little churches,and another contemplated. They are at present, as you may ineee, very small. The Catholies, who have a small brick one now, intend making a large one soon. Wehave Presbyterians, old and new school Baptists, Campbellites, Episco- paliansand Methodists Each sect have their church or place of meeting, and their preacher. This is a very moral place—we have great temperance meet- ings, and almost every body belongs to the temper- ance society. Brann le ates ¥ A’great revival of religion is going on in a pretty flourishing town opposite this, in Tilinois. All the protestant denominations are engaged init. The impenitent are matching forward to the “ anxious seat” by hundreds. " Miller’s fanaticism has reached this country, and itis not seldom that we find one ready to take up in his defence. Our extremely severe winter discourages some of our new comers. It is nearly twice as long and se- vere as any winter{ have known here for six ears. ‘ ‘The capital of Iowa is northwest 50 :niles from thistown, The Iowa Legislature did some very foolish things this winter. It passed a bill embracing 19 cases of divorce—no one of which, I suppose, could have gone through alone, but it was log-rolled through in a lump. They passed an odious valuation law, seeking thereby to make land and personal property a legal tender in violation of the Constitu tion. Tamrejoiced that the Supreme Court of the United States has declared valuation and stay laws effecting contracts, made prio to the law, unconsti- tutional. It will check, I hope, such improvident and unwise legislation. And a bill to repeal the charter of the only Banking corporation we have ever been cursed with, pi the House of Repre- sentatives unanimously, but was defeated in the Cauncil, no doubt, by any but honest means. The evidence in regard to the “Miners’ Bank” of Du Buque, showed it to be as vile and corrupt as the worst you have scored in your paper, yet with that testimony undenied before them, and with a reserv- ed power in the charter to repeal—the repeal was defeated. i ‘This is a glorious country—great plenty of provis- ions. We i to manufacture our ack flour mills wheat, and this makes wheat very low—down to 25 and 31 cents per bushel. The Legislature this winter granted a charter entitled the “Scott county HydraulicCompany.” The object of it is to unite sufficient capital to construct a mill race several miles in length, along the “Upper Rapids” and ter- minating within two miles of town. With an outlay of $50,000, a water power of 8 or 10 feet nead, having the Mississippi for a source of supply, can be made power enough for any number of flour- ing mills. I wish some of your capitalists would come and look at it. They can have the charter and welcome if they will come and take hold of it. Another Rochester can be made here, and then with a railroad eastward 90 miles to Peru, to con- nect with the Michigan and Illinois canal, a direct and quick communication can be had with New York city ; :. This country is overrun with lawyers, and has its share of physicians. * : IT must not omit the ladies. We have as many in- telligent and handsome ones as any town in Iowa, but, somehow, very few matriages take place. We have a good many young bachelors who ought to turn their attention that way. They have contracted abad habit, and one that does not improve them. Instead of going to see the young ladies and culti- vating an intercoutse with them that is highly salu- taryin polishing and elevating the character, the: meet together at various places and indulge in muc’ foolish and unprofitable conversation. _ With many wishes for your prosperity, Iremain, yours, Am ICUS. [Correspondence of the Herald. } Penn Yan, March 19, 1843. Burglary—-Millerism—Mormonism—-Blackguard- ism—Protraaed Meetings, §¢. &c. James G. Bennett, Esq.— Dear Sir: Our community is not so far behind your own. Two lads of 16—Tuel and Dingy—a few days since broke into the jewellery shop of Charles Scott, and took therefrom about one hundred dollars’ worth of property, and on returning from a peddling tour were arrested, their course retraced, and nearly all the property recovered. On examination, Tuel, a ripe, shrewd lad, turned State’s evidence, and at- tempted to implicate with himself and Dingy, a young man by the name of Barnes, against whom he had sworn revenge for exposing the fact of his having stolen the clothes of a dead sister to give to agirl in the employ of Barnes. His examination exposed a degree of maturity in crime, which at that age is seldom found equalled even in “ old Gotham.” Larceny and burglary seem to be with him but the trifling incidents of life. A Millerite recently preached .a sermon at the Baptist church at the instance of their officiating minister. He drew crowds from curiosity; yet few were gulley, and he was allowed to withdraw, and the excitement made use of to continue a protracted meeting . A Mormon has also been holding one at Pratts- town, sixteen miles from this, who has for some days been expected here, to commence a series of e asa set-off to those now carried on at the Methodist chapel by one Adams, who issaid to have remarked in the pulpit that if a sinner would = hell, railroad speed, he must get two Presbyterians for wheel horses, and two Episcopalians for leaders, and that the Baptists, as they came out of the water, were like hischicken, whose shell he broke off when it was first pecked, and giving one peep it died. That the ee portien of the Methodist church were backsliding hypocrites, and had no more reli- gion than the devil, and were like the abolitionists ot the congregational church. 4 The temperance reformers are doing a wholesale business in thissection. The opposition manifested by the use of eggs, and herring, and crackers, nead- ed by a mercantile and a grocery firm, dwindled down to ahired negro on a box, inspirited by his own exertionsin favor of “ good liquor,” and the attendance of five boysto encore his sneers at ‘‘cold water;” and for whom, when he had stopped, an- other negro apologized by saying, “that poor fel- low’s skin is whiter than the heart of those who hired him.” The result of the exertions of ourcold water boys is the reformation, with one or two ex- ceptions, of every drunkard in town, Among them are individual cases of great interest. “ Our roads are, by a recent storm, so fiiled with snow, as 10 compel the use of fields in their place to agreat extent. At this time last year the naviga- tion of ourlake had opened, but now the ice is tast increasing in thickness. The ground by our Janu- ary thaw was saturated with water; and a sudden thaw must produce a flood, and the destruction of much property in thissection of the State. Aside trom the principle involved, President Tyler missed his figure by signing the repeal of the Bankrupt law. A diflerent course would have made for him a strong party here. Of those originall; opposed to. it, many remark that the scoundre' were the first to take the benefit of it, and now came the time for the honest and really poor men. Your publication of Anthony Dey’s schedule did much good, and gave the people here a fair sample of high life below stairs—ot shooting at an eagle, and hit- ting a potatoe hole—of the shortness of the mepirom the sublime to the ridiculous, as exhibited by his management of his pecuniary affairs. The effect was, doubtless, still better on your own city, where the tendencies to a similar course are so strong. It is really amusing to see the poor maw flounce. But the more attention is drawn to it, the better for the public.
