No other person cen be regularly supplied trom this office. From Washington, We have received some furtyer information from Washington, developing the new views, purposes, and projects of the Tyler admims- tration, as now constituted, and still exist- ing, with Daniel Webster for the premier and mas- ter-spirit of the right side, and John C. Spencer, the Secretary of the Treasury, and master spirit of the left—all the others as they were. A movement has already been made relative to foreign eflairs. Duff Green, Esq., has just taken his departure from Washington to Boston, there to take passage for London in the next steamer. He carries out, it is said, despatches to Mr. Everett, for the purpose of opening general negociations with the British gevernment for the settlement of the Oregon boundary—the right of visitand search— and the formation of new commercial treaties. The position which the President has taken, relative to the right of searchand right of visit, is highly praise- worthy and honorable, and will be maintained at all and every hazard by the country. We also learn thet the Hon. Caleb Cushing, who has been in Washingten, will return to Newbury- port,and remain on his oars at present. It is pro- bable, however, that he will be sent to France, or to China, during the summer. ‘The announcement of these events—the continu- ance of Mr. Webster in the cabinet—created a great stir and excitement in the Pewter Mug yesterday, Navat Movemenrs.—Orders have been sent to Commodore Daniel Turner to take command of the Squadron on the Brazilstation. Orders to the same eflect, sent a week ago to Commodore Wm. Comp- ton Bolton, have been revoked. There is more in this change than is apparent on its face. Every one has a right to draw inferences, and as we watched the trial of Commander Mc- Kenzie very closely, we shall exercise that right in this case. It is obvious to us that the above change has been made in consequence of the result of that trial. Since that result has been made public, we have examined ith h care the evidence taken during the trial, «id trom our recollection of the ef- fect it produced upon each member of the court, we are led to believe that Com. Turner voted against McKenzie, and Com. Bolton for him.— Now, if such was the fact—and who will doubt it ? —we have another inference to draw. Taking this view of the case, it must be clear to every one who understands the character of our seamen, that the appointment of any officerto the command of a squadron, who is in favor of hanging human beings at the yard-arm, sans ceremonie, would produce the greatest confusion in a fleet, and lead to innumerable desertions and difficulties. The Se cretary of the Navy, with that foresight for which he is distinguished, saw the effect the appointment of Com. Bolton would have in the Brazil squadron, and therefore revoked the order to that officer to take command on that station. Com. Bolton is an excellent officer, and was second in command in the last cruize of the late lamented Hull, but this ought net te weigh a feather when the welfare of the whole navy is to be taken into consideration. Our navy, which has ever been the pride of the nation, is placed in a remarkably curious position by the dreadful affair on board the Somers, and it will require all the tact and energy of its Secret ry to place it where it once stood. Licensing Newsrarers, BauLaps, axp Fippce and in all that neighborhood, where the democratic Srninas.—Civilization and the fine arts are making wing of the Tyler party “ most do congregate.” The recent appointment of Mr. Towle as Naval Officer, had been looked upon as a forerunner of the departure of Mr. Webster to retirement, and the rapid progress in the Old Dominion. The Vir- ginians not only impose a tax on newepapers and require them to take out licenses, the same as we do our theatres and grog-shops, but they also tax decline of his influence at the White House—but the | Yielin-players, ballad-singers, and concerts generally. news which we gave that he was to remain, carried consternation into the forlorn hope, and the havoc made among the beer and cheese of the ancient Pewter Mug was astonishing to behold, and almost boded a famine inthe land. On the other hand, the whig portion of the Tyler party were as much elated as the democratic portion were cast down. It seems that Eli Moore, of the locofoco branch, was to have been appointed Surveyor, and a number of other locofocos to various other offices, as soon as Mr. Webster could be cleared out—but the new move- ment has delayed ail! hope for the present among the Pewter Mug democracie. Their only chance is to take advantage of the next visitot Mr. Webster to make chowder at Marshfield—for Captain Tyler, is one of the most amiable of Presi- dents—one of the most honest ef chief magistrates— and certainly one who means to be patriotic and just—yet from his constitution he seems to be one of the weakest and most infirm in purpose and policy, and always takes the hue of the strongest intellectthat happens to surround him for the time being. We have experienced this trait of his character in his conduct towards this journal, which was the first and most efficient that ever gave him an unbought support,and which willbe the last to treat him upjust- ly or refrain from telling him the truth at all times. It is probable, however, that the present state of things at the White House, may continue till the next new moon—but beyond that we would not nsk a penny-worth of sausages. We have the ablest and most intellectual cabinet, with the most honest, amiable, patrioticand weakest President the coun- try everyethad. They will succeed better for the country—but worse for themselves than if it were otherwise. “Contemprinte Turevine.—The “Express,” with that cool impudence and meanness, which are its only characteristics, yesterday stole our ample re- port of the St. George’s Society Dinner. Thisisin pertect accordance with the usual practice of that feeble concern. It uniformly copies, without ac- knowledgement, all our reports of public proceed- ings. The ‘‘ Express” had no reporter present at the dinner, our reporters being the only ones invi- ted. A miserable blockhead, who is said to be con- nected with the “ Express,’ was indeed seen skulk- Ing about the door by which the attendants entered, buthad he been in the room he could not have given a report. The present instance is only a specimen of the manner in which our reports are stolen by several of the city papers. The “‘ Evening Post” stole our report ef the Mayor's speech at the Jefferson dinner —the “ Plebeian” stole the report of the entire pro- ceedings, and as if half ashamed of its meanness, On all their newspapers where the subscription is $5 a year, they impose a tax of $10—so that a Virginian newspaper establishment, we suppose, is to be looked uvon something like a distillery—a place where poison is manufactured and vended. For if their moral influence be salutary, then why license them? But the march of Virginian civilization and in- telligence does not stophere. No artist can even give a concert until he has first paid $60 fora license. So that if he were to give two concerts in a week, he would in the course of a twelve month have to pay the neat little sum of $6,240, for his yearly license. Nor do these sapient legislators stop at pub- lie concerts—for their wisdom has even reached unto “‘Jadies’ pianos”—the music of which 1s taxed, as an intoxicating draught, we suppose, the same as other ardent spirits. We know not of what mate- rials those Virginian fiddle strings, and piano wires are manufactured, bntif the ladies and gentlemen of the Old Dominion willcome to New York and purchase these articles, we will warrant them never to emit any sounds of an immoral tendency. As to the types, we could not guarantee so much. Inthe Norfolk Herald we notice a very amusing instance in which the sixty dollar tax upon Concerts was evaded by Mesars. Nagel and Dempster. They advertised that they would give a Concert on Wed- nesday night last. ‘Understanding that, under the new tax law, they would be obliged to pay the enormous sum of sixty dollars for this exhibition, they adopted the following devi: evade the law :—They openes the doors free of charge to all who chose to enter. When the audience had bled, Mr. Nagel announced that, between the pr Concert, “a hat would be handed round,” might throw in what they pleased. This was according- lydone. A sum of money was collected and pocketed bj the musicians, and the treasury of the Commonwealth is not one brass farthing the richer because of the Con the tax of sixty dollars to the contrary notwithstan Civilization is certainly getting in advance of the 1 Warterixa Praces.—As the season approaches, people are beginning to select the retreats in which they will try to forget the dust and turmoil of this toiling earth during the hot months of summer. From the number and varied attractions of these places the, work of selection is somewhat difficult, The relative salubrity—facility of access—accommo- dations—comforts—cheapness of the watering places —are all to be considered.§§The great centre of the whole, and the princicipal one, will be Saratoga Springs. All the houses there, are, we understand, preparing for a warm campaign. The “ United States Hotel” is particularly busy preparing. ‘‘Con- gress House” and ‘‘The Union” are also brushing up. “The Pavilion,” is, it will be perceived, in the field for a new tenant. ga—ils salubrity—the medicinal virtues of its waters —its delightful parties—its balls—its promenades— The many attractions of Sarato- said that it was indebted to us for ‘ta portion of | its gossip and scandal—its quiet flirtations—its poli- some of the speeches.” However, all these things are only su many testimonials in favor of the enter- prise, expense and labor, by which we are enabled to make the “Herald” the great organ of all the movements, not only in this city, but all over the Union. Watt Street Movements —We understand that Mr T. Carpenter has not been proposed as a mem- ber ofthe new board of brokers, and therefore, could not have been rejected. It is probable, how- ever, that he will, in a short time, take up his eld position in Wall street, and aid in bringing back the haleyon days of 1835, without the clouda, storms, and gusts of wind which ended there. Suc- cess to him. The new board in the Exciange is certainly ma- king prodigious strides in the upward movement of events. En avant. Hyprorvonta, anp THE Doo Law.—The season is approaching when it has been customary to enforce the law respecting dogs running at large. The panic comes round anoually, with as much regularity as the dog days. We are disposed, however, to think that this panic, in which the Rev. David Hale has usually taken the lead, will hereefter gradually side. Forthe principal cause of hydrorhobia, as may be inferred from its name, (dread of water) is the want of water. As this want is now abundantly supp ied by the park fountain, and a multitude of | other streams of water in every part of the city, it may be reasonably expected that both the danger and the panic will be essentially diminished. Srreer Beooars.—We are sorry to see that this class of beings are upon the increase in this city. They are not tolerated by the law, which makes ample provision for all paupers. The presumption is, that begging in all cases is but disguised attempts at swindling. At all events, such persons are pro- hibited by law (see Cerp. Ord. Chap. 13, Tit. 4, See. 4,) from either soliciting or taking alms; and it is the duty of peace officers to apprehend any oflender, and proceed against him as a common vagrant. Begging should never be encournged. ‘Tue Covrt Martiat at Fort Hamivroy.—This court for the trial of Major Payne, on charges pre- ferred by General Wool, met again on Tuesday, but for want of a quorum, occasioned by « disagree- ment among some of the Majors as to precedence, adjourned, to meet again to-morrow. In the mean- time the difficulty has been referred to Capt. Tyler for decision Save or Rear Estate in Brooxiyn.—By reler- ence to our advertising columns, purchasers of real estate will see a large sale of valuable lots on Jack- son, Navy, and Raymond streets, Brooklyn, to- morrow. Here is a fine opportunity for safe and judicious investments, Brooklyn is rapidly creep. ing up to New York Mrs. Honvr’s Concent at the Apollo, went off with great eclat last evening The room was well filled. Severalof Mrs. H’s songs were rapturously encored. The concertishould be repeated tical intriguing—all are sufficiently known. “Catskill Mountain” is a very favorite place of transitory visit. The romanticscenery is extremely attractive. And then its pure air and choice country fare, are equally inviting. All who desire to ex- perience the benefit of an invigorating climate, and follow Dryden’s advice, by “Drawing physic from the fields In draughts of vital air—” can hardly do better that visit Catskill! Mountain. “New Brighton” is, we understand, now ail ready for the reception of visitors. One of tke most com- fortable places here, is anew house opened under the efficient management of Mr. Pieris, who for- merly kept the “‘ Pavilion.” the landing, and is fitted up with great taste and propriety. the most frequented houses of the Island Blancard This house is close to There can be no doubt it will be one of has taken the “Pavilion,” and no doubt he will condyct it im good style. At New Rochelle, the “Nepiune House” has been opened under the for- mer proprietor. This is a very pleasant place and easy of access from the city. The air of Staten Island is exceedingly pure and salubrious. The great facility of connection between it and New York, give ita great advantage over all the other watering places in the neighborhood. In relation to the sea-shore, we have every reason to believe that “Long Brancli” ix the mostdesirable place in the immediate neighborhood of the city, for those who wish to enjoy the benefit of sea- bathing. Rockaway which had acquired a kind of factitious reputation as a fashionable watering-place, has latterly fallen into some disrepute on account of the miasmic atmosphere produced by the numerous swamps which surround it. The water it is true is very good, and the breakers tremendous, and as far as mere bathing is concerned,Rockaway is unobjec- tionable. But those who desire pure air, and to avoid the prejudicial efiect of marsh miasma will not go there. “Belmont House,” and “Scooley’s Mountain,” are beautiful places, and offer many attractions. They are coming into the field this season in‘strong force. ‘Then there are our ocean-lakes, Erie, Ontario, and particularly Champlain. They will attract im- mense numbers of travellers, in search of health, pleasure, and the picturesque. Those unrivalled boate, that traverse these placid waters, are the most magnificent floating palaces in the world. Of these, we would particularly mention Captain Sherman’s boat—the Burlington. She isa splendid affair, and her commander is experienced, polite, and atten- tive, in the immediate neighborhood of the city there ara several very pleasant places to which to drive out and spend a few hours on asummer evening. Boyer in America —This black prince, who re- cently stole. a jeweled crown and a large sum of money in Hayti, arrived at Pensaloca on the 16th inst., in H.B. M. sloop Mognet. Will they permit him to remain at the south? Arrorney General Leoare is at present on a visit to his residence in Charleston, 3. C City Intelligence, Porice.—Among other evils that have tended to render our police system so obnoxious in the eyes of the community, has been the wholesale method of detraction and abuse as practised by a portion of the marshals attached tothe police offices, against their azsociates in office. No sooner does an officer by his energy, industry, and untiring zeal,undertake oraccomplish the arrest of a rogue of the deepest dye, than half dozen of a clique opposed to him, are prepared to defeat his objects, and if unsuccess- fal in that attempt, sometimes ‘‘cap in” as assis- tantsto the rogue, while ontrial, instead of the pub- lic authorities. We have known instances where mershals attached to the Lower Police have aided, abetted and exerted every secret influence within their power, to prevent the conviction of well known rogues for the simple reason that some officer, not in their “partnership,” had been successful in his ar- rest. The police system, as now sustained, presents such odious and erroneous principles, that as soon as the public fully understand the motives that prompt to action, and the secret springs that cause defeat, a unanimous voice will rise to crush it.— Among the officers, are many whose tact, cunning, shrewdness, energy and perseverance when called to detect roguery, has evinced the highest order of intellect, and placed them in @ position that detrac- tion and slander from the “mush” and “ deed heads” of the police, who hold marshal’s warrants as mere sinecures, fall as harmless as pop gun shots against astone wall. It would be invidious to make a selection, but the ends of public justice might be benefitted thereby, and we shall, therefore, in afew days, present hepa a short biographical sketch of each officer and a list of arrests and commitments for the past year, senending: it with the nature of the crimes for which the rogues were arrested. This will show toa great extent the lack of energy on the part of a large portion of our police and the etti- ciency of the remainder. We shall then pass to the infamous practices of “the skinners of the Tombs,” who,under the garb of “members of the bar,” com- mitacts that would disgrace a highwayman, and from thence to the ‘straw bail” remnants, a few of whom are left, notwithstanding that the Herald has continually exposed their practices, and thus driven all the most daring from the field of action. ‘We feel justified in taking this last position from the fact, that Recorder Tallmadge has informed us that the first instance of * legal robbery” practised in the Tombs during his administration as Recor- der, shall subject the author to a perfect somerset over the bar anda landing in the gallery of the Court of Sessions, nore iaiaaling the technicsli- tiesthat have heretofore prevented that public dis- grace that many of these prison prowlere have de- served. . The Common Councilshall not lack full informa- tion on all points connected with the reformation of the Police, and whoever they may in their judgment select as Keeper of the City Prison, it is to be hoped that none will be chosen who will allow the tree ingress of public harpies to prey upon the unfortunate victims of crime that are there incar- cerated. Important Arrxst.—A few months since, it will be remembered,that Officers Relyea and Colvin re- covered a large quantity of laces and fancy’goods stolen from the store of Messrs. Phillips in Boston, that had been entered by burglars, and soon after arrested aman named (George Brown, as guilty of the act, and who was then commuted to the city prison. Through the extraordinary exertions of his Counsel and some gecret aid, backed with the ne- cessary ingredient, this rogue succeeded in ob- taining bail, and sloped for other quarters.— He had scarcely been absent a week when the Police of this city were informed that two large burglaries had been cemmitted in Boston and Cambridge on the 10th instant. and there was every reason to believe that Brown was the active agent in their accomplishment, with the assistance of accomplices. The first was the cloth store of Caspar Golderman in Congress square, Boston. which was robbed of cloths, cassimeres, \c. value: at $1700, on the night of the 10th instant, and on the following ‘night the fancy store of John Owen, at Cambridge, was entered and valuable cutlery, &c. worth $600, carried away. Brown, who has pass- ed by the aliases of George Bingee, Anderson, Mar- tin and Ring, was arrested in this city on Tuesday evering by that Wh de officer, A. M.C. Smith, as- sisted by ;his brother, James L. Smith, and Peter Walker. A smallportion of the stolen goods were found in his possession, but there is little doubt that sufficient evidence will be produced against him to secure his conviction in Bosten, where he will be sent as soon as a requisition can be obtained. In the meantime a desperate movement will be made to allow him to escape by a writ of habeas corpus, and the authorities of Massachusetts should there- fore be on the alert. Drep at Brackwet.’s Istans.—An old rogue, named Ned Gallagher, who has long troubled the police, and who was recently sentto Blackwell’s Island for a paltry theft, died yesterday at that in- stitutien, and was buried under the supervision of the coroner. _ Poticy Orricrs.—Thirteen bench warrants, issued last week against policy office keepers, under direction of the Mayor, have not yet been served. What is the reason? New Counrerreit.—Two men, named Israel Ro- gersand John Welch, were arrested on Tuesday by officers Bird and Tompkins, on a charge of attempt- ing to pass a $3 counterfeit note of the Agricultural Bank ot Massachusetts, in payment for a pair of shad, to a man named Adam Frank. The bill wasa new emission, letter A, endorsed by G. A. Newton, pre- sident, and E.R. Campbell, secretary. In making the arrest, it was ascertained that the ‘boodle” of $150 was in possession of the notorious Eliza Camp- betl, who was alse arrested, and the whole three fully committed for trial. The public should be on their guard aguinst receiving these notes. “Tren Srois.”—A cart load of hickory wood was seen to issue from the Alms House yard at Bellevue, yesterday morning early, and proceed to the house of a person in Bleecker street near the Bowery, where it was dumped in front of agentie- man’s door, whom we have supposed to be above the necessity of public charity. It cannot be that “them spoils ot office” include hickory wood, cut “i into pieces about nine inches in length. Let us now.

Phere being no dry dock at our navy yard, she cannot be repaired here, and this fact alone, is suf- ficient to induce all classes, and particularly those immediately interested, to make a powerful effort to have one built here; such a course as thisisa strong aigument in their favor.

H. Meigs, of this city, toM. Arago, the great French philosopher, contains a very novel and curious idea, which may lead to some important results in scien- tific matters. We bespeak for it a careful peru- sal:— New Yorx, Apmil 18, 1842. Sr- : About twenty yearsago I was absorbed ina course of observation and reflection relative to the compo- sition, figure, &e., of the earth. I made calculations of its cohesion and gravity, and the results were connected with attractions of the sun and moon, and its diurnal rotation, were in one respect entirely new. I communicated that nw idea to a learned bod of which I was a member, but it passed unnoticed. Since that time { have pursued the subject, and 1 am satisfied that the idea is not only new, but inter- esting to science. If you should be of the same opinion, I wish you to communicate it, in my name, to the learned body with which you are so justly and eminently associated, : The barometer indicates, in all parts of the earth, a nearly uniform height of atmosphere, and the oceans have nearly a uniform depth. ‘The earth is an oblate spheroid; then the whole mass of the earth obeys the influences that act upon it, as per- fectly as its atmosphere and oceans. __ i {t is demonstrated that a tidal wave in oceans is caused by the attractions of the sun and moon. Now then, arises my new idea Such being the figure of earth, air and oceans—and considering the quasi fluid condition of the mass of the earth, owing to the vast preponderance of gravity over its cohesion, then there must be a LanD TIDE—a wave of nearly the same dimensions as the ocean tidal wave; but whether ot greeter elevation—Q. E.D, But if that land wave should bear any proportion to the oblate+ ness of the earth, whieh jis itself only a permanent maintained wave, then this land wave may be of very considerable elevation. ‘ Is ii not probable that errors in celestial observa- tions, and Geoderic examinations, are attributable to the motion of this land wave ? May not accurate observations of stars, &c., made at the times of ebb and flood of the ocean wave, show the difference, and its quantity? = __ If such a land wave exists, what may be its in- fluence in the phenomena of earthquake? _ Ihave thought proper to communicate this thought to you—attracted by my love tor science, and the great esteem and consideration which yeur charac- terhas produced in the mind of Your very respectful and obedient servant, Henry Mezias, Formerly Member of Congress, Member of several Learned Societies, &c.

Arai. 26—People vs Hoyt—Mr.Talmadge finished his a dress to the Jury about 12 0’clock this dcy. He relied pr cipally ayee the faet that the accounts were Mr. Hoyt’s own, made out by himself in conformity to the treasury regulations; if there were aby errors inthem, they were his, and he was bound by them.

Superior Court, Before Judge Vanderpoel. Arnit26.—John Ivall vs. Wm. H. Bell, et a an action of trespass brought by plaintifts ants, for turning plaintift ‘and his tenants out of posses- sion of the House No. 450 Bowery. It appeared fromthe evidence that Mr. Dudley Selden let the premises in question to a person of the name of Ellen Jobbs, whose term would not expire until the Ist May next. Subsequently Mr. Selden sold his interest in the property to the Trustees of the 3d Congregation of the Associated Reformed Church in the city of New York to build a Church thereon, subject, however, to Mrs. Jobb’s lease ; but it was contended by the plaintiffs that Mr. Selden and Mrs. Jobbs agroed that she should sur- render her interest in consideration of $25 It further ap- peared that Mrs. Jobbs under-let the premises to the plaintiff for her term. Shortly after the execution of the conveyance frem Mr. Selden to the Trustees of the Church, the latter called upon the plaintiffto give up the possession of the premises, which he refused. The trus- tees caused proceedings to be taken against nim in one of the ward courts, under the landlord and tenant’s act—an affidavit to found those proceedings was nade by one of the trustees, and a summons was issued thereon, but no further proceedings were taken for some months after. A second summons was issued on the old affidavit, and the parties attended before the Justice, who issued his w rant to remove the plaintiff from the possession of the pre- mises, which was accordin; Wy done. On the part of the plaintiff it was contended that in or- der to suthorize the proceedings in the ward court it should clearly appear that the relatio1 P, of landlord and tenant should exist between the plaintiffand the trus. tees of the church by deed, and not by operation of law; and that, therefore, the proceedings in the Justice’s Court were veid for want of such actual relationship between the parties. It sprenreds however, frem the charge of his Honor, that there were three questions involved in the case. First, whether the letting of the premises by Mrs Jobbs to the plaintiff was prior to her agreement with Mr. Sel- den to surrender the premises to the trustees; and, 2ndly, whether that agreement was complete; and, 3dly, sup g the agreement between Mr. Selden and Mra. Jobbs tually executed previous to the plaintiff’ title, was the assistant Judge justified in proceeding under the old affidavit. His Honor stated to the Jury that the two first questions were questions of fact; and it was their peculiar province to decide those questions ; but with respect to the third question, his Honor stated that he was of opinion that the defendents were net justified in proceeding a se- cond time to disposess the plaintiff without a new affidavit, but in measuring the damages, they should take the mo- tives of both parties into consideration, and if they be- lieved that the defendants teok those proceedings in error, believing that they were legally authorized soto do, an were not influenced by bad feelings towards plaintiff, then slight damages would be sufficient; but if they be- lieved that the defendanis took those proceedings solely with a view to harrass and oppress the plaintiff, then they should give him Gad damages. & The Jury are to bring in a sealed verdict this mor- ning. Court of Common Pleas, Before Judge Ingraham. Apri 26 —Dykes The Bushwick Newtown Bridge Turnpike Road Company.——This was an action of tres. pass on the case to recover damages for obstructing the navigation of Newtown Creck, on Long Island, by per- mitting the bridge on the creek to become so much out of repair, that it became impossible to open the draw by which the plaintifi’s schooner was detained for several days, and for injuries sustained by said schooner. it appeared irom the statement of plaintiff’s counsel that the defendants were incorporated under en act passed in the year 1836, and were bound to keep in repair the bridge overthe ‘Newtown creek, and open at all times whenever necessary to permit vessels navigating the creek to pass and repass ; that a certain part of the ma- chinery of the bridge called the cog-wheel, to move the draw, was allowed to go out of repair, in consequence of which the schooner was detained from the 17th to the 28d December, and received some injury from the bridge. Several’ witnesses were examined on the part of the plaintiff, and the Court adjourned to to-morrow, (this day.) when Mr. Brady is to open the case on the patt of the defendants. Messrs. Cromwell and Norton conducted the plainti(ts case, and Mestrs. Brady and Maurice appeared for the de- fenee. John E. Dean ve. John A. O'Brien —This was an action for the recovery of $100, the amount of a check drawn by defendant. It appeared from the evidence that this cause originated ina gambling transaction. That a taro table was kept by a person of the name of Ulman, in Park Place, where O’Brien was in the habit of frequenting and gembling with Uiman, On some night in November ast, O’Brien lost $100 to Ulman, for which he gave him the check in question on one of the banks in Wall street, but upon presenting the check at the bank, O'Brien had no fundsthore. Ulan subsequently passed the check to the fin payment of adebt. The defence was that the action was in contravention of the laws against ga. and that there was no consideration given for it by plaintiff. ‘ The courttold the jury that the evidence identifying the check to be that givén by O'Brien to Ulman was not very clear, and it they had any doubt upon that point they should give the plaintiff the benefitof it; but if they he- lieved it was the identical check given by O’Brien to UF in payment of the money won trom him, it was ille- and in violatien of the laws enacted to suppress ga- ing, and they should find for defendant.

The Old White Horse of Schoharie—Evil of Eating too much Oats—White Horses fond of Oats—White Horses never Sow Oats—Trouble in the Stable— Other Animals, Asses, §c. Mk. Bennett :— It is anold but a wise remark, that * the galled jade winces.” Your correspondent hops round like corn ona hot griddle, under the just castigation he has received for his mercenery slanders ot “ the Schoharie Farmer.” It is significant that he does not deny that he is a disappointed office seeker, You are fully capable of appreciating the amiable temper of such characters, and hence I will leave him to the generous indulgence of your readers. He claims to be an ultra democrat, and yet he censures Governor Bouck for not using the ‘* pocket veto,” in order to avenge the intended insult of the Senate, im abolishing the office of Bank Commissioner. Your correspondent is a rare bird; he would make the Executive the mere organ of his private passions, (the true indications of an arbitrary spirit,) rather than the cool, unimpassioned executive of the peo- pleg’ interests, and such Governor Bouck intends tobe. Your correspondent talks about the Governor's “conservative cabinet.” The only men known here and acknowledged by the constitution, are Comptroller Flagg, Attorney General Barker, and Secretary Young. Can it be that Barker and Flagg have become “ conservatives?” It is not unknown here that both of these able heads disapprove— though they do not like openly to condemn, the re- pudiating ‘sentiments of Colonel Young. This, in the eyes of the disappointed, office seeking barn- burners, may expose Barker and Flagg to the charge of conservatism. As for the honorable Secretary, he stands alone. His warmest friends do not justily his’ repudiating doctrines. We are sorry for him. His position is untenable, and he feels this. His fierce passions have led him astray. It isone of the most singular features of the last legislature, that the ‘Public Faith” resolutions in- troduced by Senator Foster, were laid on the table, and thus virtually killed by a coalition of the whig Senators and the barn-burners. Thurlow Weed was very busy in bringing about this result. Since the adjournment, Weed is continually plastering “ the Roman firmness” of the barn-burning Senators, and articularly Mr. Recorder Strong, who succeeded if his own efforts in holding the office of Recorder of Troy, in violation of the constitution. David Buel, jr., one of the first lawyers in the State, was nominated as his successor. He was rejected by the plots ot Senator Strong, who now “holds over.” The Governor ‘‘is as calm as a summer’s morn- ing.” His discriminating mind clearly perceives that when the passions get the mastery, individuals will ride to the devil, without any additional tilt- ing. His enemies have exhibited too much selfish pas- sion to have the influence they apprehend among the people. They are gradually using themselves up. ‘Those whom the Gods would destroy, they first make mad ” When they return home they will find their constituents capable of distinguishing between a patriotic resolution and a factious opposi- tion. : The Lieutenant Governor is abaat reek, to Col. Young This, with the various squibs that from time to time appear in the panes here, will keep the Secretary ina constant fever of excitement.— His hand just now isfagainst every bedy and every man that questions any of his dogmas. By plas- tering over his foibles, does your correspondent hope to obtain an office in 1844,when his dear friend, the Colonel, is elected ? : The Governor is about rusticating for a few days in his ancestral home, on the banks of the beautiful Schoharie. fs : Albany isquite dull since the adjourament; but the ladies, like the flowers of spring, are budding most beautifully—and Heathen must he be, who does notadmire the beauties of God’s creation. ARISTIDES. Santa Fe Trapers.—lIt appears by the following, that these enterprizing men are likely to get into trouble:— Letters have been received in St. Louis from Jackson, Mo., from respectable men, stating that a number ef per- sons residing on the frontier—had left, ax it was believed, for the boundary line between the United States and New Mexico. It is believed that these men expect to be joined by a number of men of like character from Texas, and combined, they intend to make an attack upon the traders androbthem. The state of affairs between Texas and Mexico, in the minds of many persons, furnishes a justifi- cation for attacking end robbing the Mexican merchants, and it is probable that in such an attack neither Mexican orAmericen merchants would be spared. Immediately upon the receipt of the above intelligence, Col. Kearney, the commander of this division of the United States army, with the promptness which characterizes his offi- cial acts, wrote to the Secretary of War. urging him to procure permission trom the Mexican Minister, Mr. Al- monte, for the escort of the United States troops, which he has ordered to accompany the traders out, and to con- tinue with them to Santa Fe, or until they may meet an escort from the Mexican troops. The United States troops on their return,to act as an escortto all Mexican as wellas American traders coming in. Western Emicration.—Here is a paragraph; taken from the Cincinnati Gazette, that gives one some idea of emigrating west :— It is acuriosity to see our steamers sometimes when full. They appear often as if they were made for the same urpose af Noah’s Ark. The Goddess of Liberty, in a late trip to St. Louis looked like one. She was literally covered and crammed with passengers, horses, cuttle, hogs, dogs, furniture and freight, having on board up- wards of 400 men, women and children, more than sixty horses and hogs, about 170 dozen chairs, 40 wagons and carriages, about 400 tons freight in the steamboat, onda freighted keel boat in tow. Achild was born on the pi soge, seven pigs, and acalf! So much for emigrating west. CuatHam Tueatre.—The domestic drama of Ro- sina Meadows is decidedly the most beautiful and interesting piece of dramatic representation we have witnessed for many a day, and the public, it would seem, go with us in this opinion. Last night the house was again crowded, and the piece receiv- ed well merited applause ; in consideration of which it will be again performed this evening. The other entertainments are the farce of the Irish Lion, in which Mr. Brougham plays Tom Meore, and the drama entitled A Dream at Sea. New Corrgr Mine.—A new copper mine has just been discovered in Warren County, Virginia, west ofthe Blue Ridge. The investigations have been made by Captain John Penman, who has spent near- ly three years in developing the mineral resources of that State. We have seen a specimen of the cop- per—aad the mine 1s said to be very rich.
