Important From Wasuincron—New Arrornt- ments Fortucomina.—We understand that Presi- dent Tyler and his Cabinet will, in a few days, make the following new appointments in thiscity:— Edward Curtis, Minister to China. Robert H. Merris, (aow Mayor) Collector of the Port. James Kelley, U.S. Marshal. Eli Moore, Surveyor of the Port. M. M. Noah, Chargé to Constantinople. Some democrat, U.S, District Attorney. Some of these may be uncertain, particularly that of Noah, which would be peculiarly unpopular and absurd. He has been endeavoring to get the en- dorsement ofthe Tammany Hall Committee,and has secretly promised tosupport Van Buren, therefore— but they laugh at him. Mr. Kelly has got several members of the Committee to sign his paper, and so has Eli Moore. Mayor Morris stands on his own hickory stick and 6000 majority. Major Joe Hopkins is now at Washington moving mightily in these matters. Its supposed there, that the resignation of Damel Webster,and the appoint- ments named, would carry the “‘young democracie” of New York, hip and thigh, for Captain Tyler in the Convention next May. Captain Tyler will discover the realeflect before next winter. The whole is as amusing an affair as we ever remember to have seen or heard of on this side of Bellevue. Caucrs Movements.—Wejlearn that the caucus of the new Corporation have nearly finished all their appointments, so that they can go to work to-mor- row at once, and cut off heads like radishes. All their difficulties are nearly settled, except per- hapsthe Comptroller, City Collector, and Printer to the Departments. It is said that Alfred Smith is named Comptreller, and C. Guion (the partner of Levi Slamm) City Collector, (Tom Lloyd’s old place.) Forprinter to the Departments Alderman Boggs’ man of straw, whose name is not yet known, is probably selected. Boggs can whip the devi! round a stump as well as any saint we know of.— Great times to-morrow. Imrortant From Sinc Sinc.—We learned last evening by a gentleman from Sing Sing, that Elam Lyndes, of Onondaga, recently appointed Keeper of Sing Sing State Prison, has not yet entered upon the duties of his office, and it was rumored at Sing Sing that he had refused to accept the office. We also understand that the office has been offered to ‘Thomas Marshall, the old keeper, who had refused it, but proposed his contemplated brother-in-law, a Mr. Sherwood. The deputy keepers had nearly all entered upon their duties, but the prison was still under the charge of Captain McDuffie, the keeper. One of the convicts had attempted an escape, by placing an image of clothing in his bed, so as tore- semble himself, thus deceiving the keeper and dodg- ing out of the line before returning to hiscell. The fraud was discovered by one of the guards, and the rogue found hid in the yard of the prison. The deputy keeper was then instantly discharged for carelessness and inattention to his business. Tre Vorg in Taz McKenzix Cast.—We learn that the inguiry in this case is still pending in Phi- ladelphia, Captains Read and Gwyn both refusing to answer. The question of compulsion isto be ar. gued before Judge King this week—and then de- cided.—N.B. Will any Philadelphia lawyer give us a report of the argument each day up to fouro’clock in the afternoon, and send it to our agent (Zieber) at that hour? Mustcat.—F. W. Rosier, Secretary to the Phil- harmonie Society, gives a concert at the Apollo Rooms on Wednesday evening. M. Bley, a highly celebrated vielinist from Paris, gives a grand concert at the Apollo on Friday even- ing. He will be assisted by Madame Sutton, who will sing some of her finest pieces. M. Bley is one of the most brilliant performers on the violin, 1n the new style that is now'the most popular in Paris, and ali the purest musical circles in Europe. Kyx’s Concert.—This artiste givea his annual concert this evening at the Apollo. His programme is one of great interest, and must draw a full house. Tue Laxe Trape.—The number of arrivals and departures from Cleveland during the vear 1842, were 2,462. of which 1050 were steamboats. The amount of tonnage was 18,671, and value of the ex- ports $5,851,893, of which $1,016,976 went to Ca- nada. The losses on the lakes for the same period were $125,000, and 69 lives. Connecricur.—Governor Cleveland delivered his message to the Legislature of Connecticut last Fri. day. The most remarkable paesagesin the docu- ment refer to the Common Schools, the State Prison and the Banks. The State Prison yields a net pro- fit, over all expenses, of $6,069 05, beating the banks all to pieces. Movements.—The Secretary of Waris ona visit to Pennsylvania. Senator Tallmadge has arrived at his residence in Poughkeepsie. Governor Bouce has returned to Albany. Booth, the tragedian, is in Boston. Kevenve Currers.—The Secretary of the Trea- sury has established a bureau in his department for the better arrangement of the revenue cutter ser- vice, and placed Captain A.V. Frazer of New York, at the head of it. —_ Trenton Races commence on Tuesday, May th, {to-morrow.) The proprietor informs us that the stables of Alfred Conover, Samuel \aird, Charles Lioyd, Joseph Hellings, James K. Van Mater, and iavid Tomsare now at the course. NavaL.—The U. 8. ship Delaware, Com. Morris, errived at Gibraltar from the Rio Janeiro on the 12th ! bound up the Mediterranean. The Emily Wil- der at Boston brought a letter bag from her. Navat Launom.—The new U. 8. brig Perry will be launched at Norfolk on Tuesday, the 9th inet. Hacker's Bewerrr To-Niont.—Mr. Hackett takes his benefit to-night at the Park Theatre. He presents a bill of great attraction, and his host of admirers will give him an old fashioned bumper. Laren Dates.—We have received files of Ber- muda and Belixe papers, but we find nothing in them worth extracting. D. ‘The Millennium at Last—A —Joe Smith and Father Miller thrown Into the Shade—The}three Apostles, Ho~ Face Greeley, Wm. H, Channing, and Al- bert Brisbanc, begun their Mission, At last dry land appears. The millennium be- gins to unfold its glerious prospects. A new garden of Eden, a fresh paradise, has just been discovered in Pike county, Pennsylvania, near the Erie rail- road. The three mighty apostles from this city, Horace Greeley, Wm. H. (Humbug we euppose,) Channing, and Albert Brisbane, have gone forth on their great mission, and begun the mighty revelu- tion—the millennium itself—in the ancient city of Albany. Their first convert is, we learn, Thurlow Weed, who certainly needed it, and whom we shall considera saint and a Christian hereafter. From his “Journal” of last Saturday, we copy the annexed most curious—most astounding—most wonderful report of their first preachings of the new revelation. The three apostles who have received this new revelation are well known for their talents, piety, enthusiasm, simplicity, credulity, good sense, mo- nomania, and all sorts of qualities, in a state of fu- sion and transition. Horace Greeley isthe editor of the “Tribune,” and isa warm politician ot the whig order. He never touches fish, flesh, or women— but confines his diet to vegetables alone—cabbage, apples, carrots, turnips, potatoes, and leeks. Albert Brisbane is the master spirit of the movement; he furnishes all the practical and philosophical ideas, which he received from Charles Fou- rier who is regarded as prophet, priest, and king, in the new millennium He is a very amiabie, excellent, worthy young man—a sort of a Moses in the concern. Mr. Channing is the religi- ous constructor of the new “order of things”— occupying the position that Aaron did to Moses. He has been for some time endeavoring to establish a new religion—a sort of transcendental Christiani- ty—and he now comes out with “a new Heavens,” a “new earth,” and “a new Jerusalem,” all lo- cated in Pike county, Pennsylvania, and yielding an annual interest of 12 per cent for the capital invested. Seriously, however, we hardly know how to re- gard this most strange—most curious—most insane movement—the measures taken to carry it into effect—or the men who have assumed its guidance. The idea of organizing society, religion, agricul- ture, everything, according to the same principle which characterises banking or manufacturing cor- porations, is probably one of the most absurd things that ever entered a human brain. There is to be “no radicalism” says Greeley. This is not likely, when a few managers can do as they please with the pro- perty of ths stockholders, as we have seen in the explosions of several hundred banks all over the country. On the whole, we think this movement is the most original and amusing thing that ever took place outside of an insane asylum. It requires a great effort to believe that these men are serious, or only amusing themselves. At all events, read the following :— Association—The New Order of Things. [From the Albany Evening Journal. } , The public announcement that several of the most ac. tive an Pecrevermia parecaee of the new theory of Fou- rier were to give a free lecture in our city, called out a large andience to hear “ of this new thing.” The spacious lecture-room of the Young Men’s Association was well filled. The speakers were Horace Greeley, Wm. H. Chan- ning, and Albert Brisbane, all of New York. Wecan bay give a rough synopsis of the several addresses, but we will endeavor to give our readers a sufficient insight into the merits of this panacea “for all the ills which flesh is heir to,” to enable them to judge of its probable practical working with success. Mr. Greexny first addressed the meeting. The object of Association was a reorganization of society, on a plan which would secure more harmony, greater trust and sympathy among the individuals of which it was compo: el, than had yet been attained. ‘There is to be no ra/ical- ism in Association ; the movement is essentially a con- xervative one—one of peace—one governed by christian love. It would be impossible to lay before the audience all the considerations which the doctrine of Association presents, in one evening. It had been the result of twenty years’ hard labor and anxious investigation on the part of its author. All our views, and the answers to all the ob- Jections which heve been or can be raised—for they can all be answered—cannot be brought before you in one evening. He must content himself with the presen- tation of Association few general her erations. social of communities and sympathies—common rel: world, and yet so as that each member shall enjoy the be- nefits of his own labor, or his capital, his regu: lar per centage upon’ his labor or But it would give to all the opportunity to labor, ‘as the great want of the times—the poor man ye to us, onall ides, give me labor, and itis alll ask. Mr. G. spoke ofthe re- sults of some investigations into the condition of the poor of the city of New York. In the Sixth Ward, alonc, thousands were found without preg ere and without the means of subsistence. Whole families were forced to pay their rent, and feed and clothe themselves, upon the profits of one apple stand, which, at the most, would ne- ver produce more than 30 cents per day. These thousands d not for charity, but for work: The condition of these suffering poor, created servile relations between themselves and their more favored neighbors, which were contrary to the spirit and intent of our institutions, and contrary to that religion which we profess. He be- lieved a better organization of society was perfectly practiceble, and would conduce to the essential bet- terment of the community. The means to obtain this desirable end, were a combination of energies for the mutual benefit and improvement of all. Mr. G. said he would, for the purpose of removing certain prejudices from the minds of some, draw attention to a fact of great notoriety, and that was that the regular progr: of the civilized world, was censtantly towards associa- tion. He then drew a graphic picture of the condition of the savages, giving asthe reason of their hopeless and continued degradation, their etire jsolation—the want of common brotherhood—of common interests 2nd sympa- thies. Hence it had been well said, that “a ot Ga. ture is a state of war.” But as you advanced towards civilization, the progress was marked by a greater fusion of interests into each other. He referred to the results of the combined efforts of societies in civilized countries contrasting them with the conveniences of the wild and untutored savage. The rapidity of travelling upon the roads—the Post Office—and especially our Common School system, carrying its blessings to almost every child, were the results of combination of interests for the general goed. He referred to the greater advantages for education which these associations would present, and closed by a brief statement of the beneficial operation of a small association, but imperfectly organized, in Roxbury, Massachusett He had visited it, and under all its disad- vantages, he had seen blessed results flowing from it.— There, all the members dwelt in concord and harmony, free from the yexations, cares and opprenious which bear down so many thousands of the suffering poor in all parts four land. Mr. Cann said his object would be te show that the system which they advocated was practical Chris- tianity and religion. It was thet state foreordained in the purposes of Heaven, and foretold by prophets as a period + tocome. He spoke of the present condition of man. ‘ould any one contend that agood God had doomed man to be miserable, crushed down, and to die a prema- turedeath 1 No! Why then his present condition ? It is said that itis all owing to herent depravity. The true cause was his selfishne: It wasthat which madea desert of Eden. But such s not always be his state. The prophets have foretold of peace and harmon: yet tocome. The prophet Isaiah, in particular, has told us of period when the wilderness and solitary place shall be pled, and the desert blossom e the rose—pro- mises which we too often think mere visions and res of speeeh, but which Tepresent great realities yet to be fulfilled. What, too, did Jesus Christ say when he was upon Earth 7—That the kingdom of God should come, and the will of God be doneon earth as in heaven—that all things should be added to those who sought the right- eousness of a perfect obedience to the great law of love and a true human brotherbood—and that a hundred-fold should be received in this life by those who loved their neighbor as themselves. This self-devotion to the great law of love, and human brotherhood, would bring peace and joy to all, and we shall have a Heaveu upon earth. Why hed not this been realized? Why had beem thi« conflict of sects for eighteen hundred years! Because man had not dared to live up to this simple law of universal love. If man had thus followed the precepts of Christ at first, long since would the been beaten into plot ares and the pruning hooks. The law of christianity is that the inter- ests of each ere the interests of the whole—and that the interests of the whole are the interestsofeach. The pre- cept is Love thy neighbor as thyself.” Mr. C.then went on to show, seociation, carried out, would be a ful}. ment of thi junction. There were three great duties of bran gos Piety, charity and self-pertection. He com: mented upon each in detail, and contended that neither could thrive under the present order of things, but that in ‘association would be found the full development of them all. Then all the bright anticipations of the phets would be full realizeds Then wille the Newjhea- vens and the New earth. The earth witl a of the richest flowers, and the heaven Due as this emblem of love. Better things were in store for us. The New Jerusaicm, the city of peace, would be established, and the time would come, when the benedic- tion of the angels would be fully realized—" Glory to God in the highest, and on earth peace, good will to man.” read over us, Mr. Baisnane undertook to explain the practical opera: e, what it 1 tion of this new system, He would first inqu Was that men wanted? The answer would be peace, independence, a safe investment of ¢ guarantee of constant employment to the labor tain realization of the profits of that labor, a ¢ moral and intellectual culture to all, anda release from the quorrels, the strifes, the emborrasiments, and the vexations which now constantly surround us.’ And wo man, too, she wants freedom from the pressure of that ha raxsing round of dorestic cares, and an opportunity to cultivate her own intellectual pow: He then went on to show that association weuld do all and he passed « glowing eulogy upon Fourier, who had spent forty years in maturing and bringi wyneee new scheme. He nen gave a ieee minute poe “ot the modus é B operandi of the new system—the he oad Pm of ,ife—eontanding thet all the veey an, lependency, which each now posses: sed, would be fully enjoyed in the association. We caunot go into the details, in this brief summary. The Perit She Anociation was to be held as joint stock. fourth of the product was to go to pay the interest e remaining three fourths were to be divided among the laborers in certain pro; ns, which were stated by him. A close calculation had shown t! the capital invested would realize 12 per cent per ann while those who labored could make their $6 as easily as they could now $1. He summed up, with a glowing pic- ture of the varied blessings of this new system. it would wipe out from the world all those evils which now press- ed so heavily upon society He asked all to examine the subject carefully, and if it commended itself to their so- ber reason, to give to the efforts about to be made, their efficient support. Mr. Garrcey in a few words stated the condition and prospects of the Sylvania Association, the pioneer, which ‘was just Uns apd operation. The Association on Thurs day evening last, helen animated snd impertant business meeting and took decisive steps as to their future course. They received and accepted a final report from their se- cond exploring committee, and sanctioned the purchase of the tract of land for their Domain which had heen unanimously chosen and recommended by two successive committees, after extensive explorations. This tract con. sists of about twenty-five hundred aeres of rolling land, situated on the west bank of the Delaware river, at the mouth of the Lackawaxen creek, in the township of Lack awoxen, Pike county, Pennsylvania. The soil is a deep Joam ; the land rises in moderate ridges, not precipitous, with wide table lands onthe top, and yeiers et ween.— About one hundred acres arenow under cultivation ; the remainder is wooded, but not so as to present any formi- dable obstacle in clearing, the heavy timber having been cut offa great part of it. A thousand acres can be clear- ed and fenced at acost of less than $10 per acre, leaving the heavily timbered landsto be cleared more slowly as the timber is wanted. ; For this tract of 2,500 acres, abundantly watered, with good mill stream running through it, beside the Lacka- waxen and Delaware on its borders, with the Delaware and Hudson Canal running by it and the N. Youk and Erie Railroad certain to pass within 16 miles and proBably with. in one mile of it, with a saw mill, grist mill and several Awellings of little value upon it,the Association are to pay $7,000, $2,100 of which is subscribed to its stock, so that the cash required is less than $6,000. There is of course abundant and convenient water power for all manufactur: ing purposes, while the Canal furnishes a medium of cheap transportatioy to and from this city, Albany, the Pennsylvania coal region, &c. kc. The advantages of the location are already Greats while the Erie Rail Road will probably soon bring it within a few hours of New York at all seasons. ‘The Association is now actively en; in business operations, having sent offan advance division of fifty members (mainly adult males) and on that day was ground first tobe broken at their new home. As many more will follow inthe course of the month, including members from Albany and other es. By these, grounds will be cleared, farming actively uted, and temporary buildings’ constructed throngh the sum: mer, preparatory tothe sending out seme three or four hundred additional members in the fall, when mechanical Ca manufacturing eperations will be first regularly un- ertaken. The first Gun in the Spiritual War—Abby Kelly already in the Field!—The King- dom of Darkne: ‘bout to be shaken. Abby Kelly, after a vigorous effort to,restrain her- self and reserve al her artillery for the regular week of the enniversarics, found last Friday that the spirit was too violent for the flesh, and she accordingly held forth to a crowded audience in Columbian Hall, Grand street, on the evening of that day.— This is the first flaah—the premonitory peal which announces the approaching equinoctial gales with which our moral and religious world is troubled at this season of the year. Abby had a good house. The Hall can accom- modate about five hundred persons, and it was well filled. Itwas what may be termed a miscellaneous audience—Quakers and scoffers—profligate dry goods clerks and religiously inclined carpet weavers —young mantua makers from Division street, and pious elderly females from the Bowery and Chatham street. On the whole, however, it was a very decent, well-behaved, attentive auditory. At half past seven o’clock precisely, Abby entered the Hall in company with an elderly Quaker and his spouse, a fine looking old lady, but somewhat afflicted with the asthma. Abby and her venerable companions took their seats on an elevated bench behind the rostrum, where they were joined by a tall, thin young man, dressed in a suit of black, which had seen service, and who had moreover one eye, anda dirty white neckcloth. The latter per- sonage commenced talking in a low tone to Abby, who conducted her ehare of the conversation, for the most part, bya pleasant, though rather mourn- ful sort of a smile, and a graceful, condescending shake of the head. After about ten minutes thus occupied, the tall thin young man, with one eye, rose, and, with a very valetudinarian emile, turned from Abby, and took a seat amongst the andience. Abby now very quietly took off her bonnet and shawl, and then leaning forward began to rub her forehead with ‘the forefinger of her right hand, somewhat in the manner of the “ neurologists” at Peale’s Museum, when exciting the organs of their intelligent subjects. The old Quaker cast several glances at Abby whilst she was thus employed, and then grasping with both hands the head of his cane, he leaned thereon his chin, and fixed upon the audi- ence a pair of twinkling little grey eyes, that peered out from beneath the shade of his broad-brimmed hat, like the brilliants from amongst the rubbish of a pawnbreker’s window. About eight o’clock Abby started from her reve- rie, and rose to address the audience. Her figure is tall and imposing. Ifa little more embonpoint, it would be considered strikingly handsome. Her fea- tures are regular, and the general expression is cheerful, intelligent, and benevolent. Her forehead is broad and full—the eyes large and lustrous, gene- rally dreamy and placid in their expression, but oc- casionally, as she spoke, they were lighted up with an uncommon brilliancy—the mouth and chin are decidedly beautiful, and her teeth are regular, and would answer Solomon’s impassioned lyrical de- ecription. She was dreased ina plain black gown, with a thin muslin kerchief neatly adjusted around afneck whose snowy whiteness it did not surpass. Her hair is abundant, dark, and glossy, and was arranged with great simplicity. Abby’s voice is not very powerful, but it is well managed. Her ut- terance is singularly clear and distinct. Her lan- guage is always accurate and precise. She doesnot poseess much argumentative power, but her appeals to the feelings and prejudices of her auditors are re- markably forcible and eloquent. She is evidently well read, and no one who hears her can for a mo- ment doubt that Abby isa woman of remarkable energy of character, cultivated mind, and extraor- dinary enthusiasm. Abby, after rising, read a portion of the 20th chap- ter of Ezekiel, and commented on it briefly, and in rather a languid manner. She compared the state of soc‘ety amongst us at present to that of the Jews whose sins the Prophet denounced ; and then she went on to speak of slavery,against which the whole torrent of her accumulated zeal and enthusiasm was directed. She arraigned Harry Clay and Dr. Manley, as criminals before the audience, which she constituted into a court, and then proceeded to indict them as perpetual liars—thieves—pirates— and fornicators. Some of the auditors were so profane as to laugh at Abby, but she rebuked their levity with great dig- nity, and maintained perfect order and decorum during the rest of the evening. Abby’s address was, on the whole, rather tame, and as nothing in it was marked by singularity or originality,we must defer till another occasion, presenting any speci- mens of Abby’s style and eloquence. Indeed she herselfjpleaded as an excuse for the want of her ac- customed fire and vehemence, that she “ felt op- pressed” and would rather not speeak at all that eve- ning. Abby will, however, be up and stirring dur- ing the present week, and she will find us always ready to do her that justice which her good looks and eloquent speeches deserve. We want some ori ginal spirit like Abby’s to relieve the dullness of the reapectable prosy parsons and deacons who consti- tute the mouth-pieces of the faithful at our annual anniversaries, “io onthen, Abby, and prosper. cg The following is a list of officers of the U. 8, ship Saratoga, from Portsmouth:— Commander Josiah Tattnall; M.

Wi Gu Burchated; Carpenter Luther Anniversary of the N, York ble Society at the Tabernacle last evening, There wasa very full attendance. The introductory exercises, consisting of prayer, singing, reading the Scriptures, &c. were performed by several persons, among whom were the Rev. David Hale an2 Dr. Potts. The lat- ter preached from Luke 10, 29—Who is my neighbor? In the course of his sermon he complained of the luke- warmness of thechurch in giving their finances to the spread of the gospel throughout the world. The re sources of the Church are competent to give the Bible t every human being on the globe. Some of the greatest adversaries that we have to contend against in dissemi nating the Bible, are to be found inthe cold, the luke- warm, andthe phlegmatic among professing Christians. ‘This is decidedly wrong, and must be remedied forth- with, After the sermon the contribution boxes were passed round among the audience. The services were concluded with ahymn. Beauties or Porrrics.—We annex from the “Al- bany Advertiser” a letter just published by General Van Rensselaer in reply to certain charges made against him, growing out of his removal from the Albany Post Office. General Van Rensselaer was a gallant soldier during the last war—perilling his life for his country, and according to his own account, was removed from office because, among other things, he would not contribute a quota of black mail to sustain the newspaper, started by M. M. Noah, called the “Union.” This is certainly a most strange fact, and indicates that the spirit which governs Captain Tyler is an emting spirit, to speak in the kindest terms of it. It appears also that to General Van Rensselaer Captain Tyler is actually indebted fer the place he holds in the White House, he having nominated him in the Harrisburgh Convention. A more curi- ous fact still, yet nething more curious than what we have seen of late in the movements emanating from the White House. When Captain Tyler was assailed by the whole force of the whig party at the Extra Session,thefonly paper in the country that gave him a support was the New York Herald, and yet assoon as he got through his difficulties his “guard” immediately began a system of persecution against it,and actually prosecuted us for a libel on one of the cligue, who now enjoys a naval contract worth several thousand dollars, for this and other acts. Captain Tyler is in a fair way to get a high repu- tation for something. We hope he may succeed. The following is the General’s letter: To tne Eprror oF tHe Daity ADVERTISER:— ‘S1x:—Some venal tool of President Tyler has been again spitting his venom at me, from the hireling columns of the New York Aurora. The length of the article, in this instance, its elaborate character, and ike diffuse malignity of the attack it makes upon me, plainly indicate aconvic. tionon the part of the assailant, that dilute and vapory paragraphs in the Madisonian, or brief and equivocal cards from Government secretaries, however ready either may be to please their patron by abusing me, are not sufficient for the exigency. Some more extended ef- fort—more diversified with bold untruths, or by malignant perversions of actual circumstances, has peen deemed requisite in order to furnish some pretext for my removal as an officer, orto impair the ferce of my anticipated tes- timony as a witness possessing the means, as their fears forbode , of exposing the inconsistency and perfidy of John Tyles this single feature of the elaborate attack upon me, if there were nothing else to explain its character and motive, is sufficient to satisly any candid mind that if | could have consented to degrade myself by becoming a Tyler man and tampering with 23 portmasters in Albany county, nothing would have been heard of the surplus commissions; and if I could have wheeled my official platoon into the Tyler line, there would have been no complaint against me of “mismanagement,” or “incapaci. ty,” or “neglect of duty.” But I could not thus sacrifice my own self respect and the respect and confidence of my friends, and therefore am | assailed. So be it. I am con- tent that the charge of incapacity for the duties of a deputy postmaster should be left for the ssgacity of John ‘Tyler and his subordinates to discover, so long as it had meets the discernment of such men as John Jay, George Clinton, Morgan Lewis, Daniel D. Tompkins, and De Witt Clinton, during a service of more than twenty years un- der their personal acquaintance and observation; and I must be permitted to regard the attestation of competency, which I possess in the letters of John McLean, the most efficient Postmaster General the country has ever had, andof Wm. T. Barry, a man of decided talent, as an ample off-set to the opinion of such people as John’ Tyler and his retainers. But, after all, it was, perhaps, not so much my connec- tion with the Albany post office or my capacity to dis. charge ite duties, as my visit to Washington City after the decease of the lamented Harrison, and my knowledge of certain circumstances which took place during that visit, to which I am indebted for the assault which hes been made upon me through the Aurora. I went to Washington at the time referred to, fur no other purpose than to see the family of my deceased friend, the lamented Harrison, before their return toOhio. At the house where I took lodgings, I found Mr. Silas E. My previous acquaintance with Mr. Burrows ight ; but onthus meetin in, holding the same political opinions, and partaking common senti- ment of sincere good will towards Mr. Tyler, who had just been newly and most unexpectedly called to the Chief tracy of the Union, we went together to pay him a visit of respectful salutation. He received us very cor- ly ; and during the interview he (net Mr. Burrows, as stated,) introduced the subject of of Congress anda National Bank. In ourse of conversation on these to} Mr. Burrows ing of him if he had ever seen Mr. Monroe’s letter to gim, (Mr. B.,) on the subject of the United States Bank. Mr. Tyler replied that he had, but that it was some time since, and that he should like to see it agai Mr. Bur- rows said he should be gratified ; and Sea ht he fur. nished him with it. Theremarks which Mr. Ty: le upon the letter, and the opinions he avowed in relation to a National Bank, will be disclosed hereafter, and at my own time. Such is a brief but correct outline of the occasion and general character of the interview in question. The abuse heaped upon Mr. Burrows by the creatures of Pre- sident Tyler, is cesigned to besiege! A opinion, and has been resorted to in the hope of weakening the force of his testimony in relation to the sentiments then expressed by the President. Conscious of the truth of that testimony, and of the awkward attitude in which it is calculated to place that d consistent functionary, he and his confidential agents are anxious to cast doubt and discredit mm it by slandering the witness. This is a common trick of conscious guilt ; but it witl, I doubt not, as usual in such cases, prove unavailing. The character of Mr. Burrows, if I have not wholly mistaken it, has too much stamina, and is too well known and esteemed, to be des- patched so easily. The American citizen, whose mupifi- cent generosity and high sentiment of patriotic reverence for the and memory of the Father of his Country led him, with a wise appreciation of some of the most elevated sources of moral and patriotic influence, to erect, at his own private cost, a monument to the mother of Washing- ton—the American merchant who, when Andrew Jack- son, on his first accession to the Presidency, with indecent haste,to gratify a noisy, undeserving partisan,had recalled General Harrison from his mission to Colombia, placed one of his own ships then in a Colombian port at the ser- vice of the recalled envoy, and free of expense to him or the public, to take him and his suite heme to hisown country—the same merchant who, in a similar spirit of munificent humanity, rescued the master and crew of a Russian vessel, with one of the puplic nts of their country on board, from the extremest perils of the seas and sent them to a haven of safety at his own charges, and declined all offers ef remuneration from the Russian Emperor—such a man, the friend and correspondent of James Monroe, presents too many claims to the respect and confidence of his countrymen to be discredited by 'y obloquy that can be cast upon him by John Tyler, or any of the mercenary sycophants in his pay. This letteris probably the last notice that I shall deem it worth while to bestow, on my own account, upon the dishonored political apostate who has assailed me through his agents, and I will conclude it by a brief statement of the manner in which he obtained the n ation to which he is indebted for the opportunity to betray the party that elected him, and to disgrace the station he occupies. At the Harrisburg Convention of December, 1839, on the morning after Gen. Harrison had been nominated for Pre- sident, the New York delegation, of which I was amem- ber, were assembled by themselves, and were considerin; the question of a candidate for Vice President, when joined them. As I entered the room, one of them observed that they were waiting for me; that as the Convention had united soharmoniously on my nomination for President, they wished me to nominate a Vice-President also. I replied that I did not wish to name a candidate, but that I should join them in any one they would be pleased to present. This my/colleaguesdeclined, and again urged me to offer a nomination. 1 then said that itsuch wae their wish, I would name several individuals from which they could make their choiee; and accordingly I present: ed the names of John CO hae Governsr Owen of North Carolina, and John Bell, of Tennessee. They still de- clined making the selection, and wished me to designate the candidate. Ithen named John Tyler, and he was una- He was on the ground, and knew ated either of the have been accept Madisonian nimeusly accepted. what course I had taken, Had desi 1 never cease to deplore.— J had served in Congress with him, in years gone by, and | then deemed him an honora- ble man; and as Virginia was nearly balanced, | hoy the nomination of my amiable friend might incline the scale in our favar. Such is a brief statement of the manner in which John Tyler obtained his nomination. How grievously he has deceived and disappointed expectation, the whole country can testify. But retribution is drawing nigh, and the to- kens cannot be mistaken A lower fall awaits him than has hepa any mane man ro, has ever betrayed the misplaced confidence of the country. _ ee SOL. VAN RESSELAER. Aunaxy, May 6th, 1948. Exormovs Weavru.—The property left by Baron Stieglitz, the banker, who lately died at St. Peters- burg, is estimated at the enormous sum of fifty mil- lions of roubles, between five and six millions ster- ling. He wasa native of Hanover, where his elder brother, one of the most celebrated physicians in Germany, died a few years ago. National Academy of Design: N. 61. Porrgair or A Lapy.—C. C. Inguam, N. A.—We class Mr. Ingham, as a painter of portraits in the same rank with Mr. Shi w as a landscape painter. His pictures are painfully elaborated, and 80 lamentably deficient in effect of chiaro scuro,that vie at a proper point of distance they appear utterly flat. Upon a close inspection we discover that they are worked up in a style of finish, emu- lating that of miniature, and certainly as specimens of mechanism they are surprising affairs. But to this delicate handling, all the higher attributes of art are sacrificed, for aught like freedom, vigor, or solid effect we look in vain. This Rosa-Matildaish style of painting is well calculated to attract the multitude, who think that the eoftness and finish are the ee of art—people of similar taste with the lady who,when engaging to eit to Sully,express- ly stipulated that the artist should paint her witha clean face, not with one half of it dirty, as was the case with the portraits of some of her acquaintance; and above all, that he should omit ‘the black anions: which he wasin the habit of putting under the nose. Mr, Ingham enjoys, consequently we believe, considerable popularity, at which, so far as he is pereonally concerned, we rejoice, but must re- gretthatit has been acquired, as we think, at the expense of the best interests of the art which he professes. Hit cess has started a host of imita- tors, who are spreading through the country a false and vitiated taste, which operates most injuriously upon the efforts of those who by severe labor and self-sacrifice are endeavoring to build up a school of which the country may be proud. ‘The present pic- Le is i complete illustration of Mr. Ingham’s gene ral style. 92. Fancy Grovr, unfinished.—S. B. Waugh — A very clever picture, considerab! y in the style of Cattermole. The figures are well drawn and ina good style of color, and the background is remark- ably beautiful. We would that there were more pictures of this classin the exhibition se 234. Sm Warrer Raeion on the morning of his execution—C. Lentze.—We are not sure but that this isa finer picture than the more labored effort of the artist—The return of Columbus in chains to Cadiz.” In point of color and breadth of light and shade it is decidedly superior, and indeed in these qualities it is astonishingly fine. No one can look at this picture without feeling that the man who at five and twenty could produce sucha work, may justly ae to the very highest honors of his art. 130.—Heav.—T. Sully, H.—Distinguished by the characteristic delicacy of the artist’s etyle. 69. View or THE Vattry or Evesuam, fto James’ novel of Forest'Days.—M. Livingston, A.— Bes means equal to Ne. 55, by the same artist.— There is a pretty effect of sunlight about it, but it is too slightand washy in its coloring, and in its gene- ral management it is feeble and unartistlike. . NIRS OF ERY ON CakOr Creek. V. G. Audubon, A.—Very brilliant and bold sketches. Mr. Audubon has been evidently a close student of nature, and has drawn his inspiration from that pouree, an inspiration unlike generous and uncon- ined. 109. Reaping Tax Dectanation.—H. Sanderson. This is a picture exhibiting considerable promise, ‘The composition and action of the figures are free and well conceived, though faulty in drawing. We are pleased with the picture, chiefly from the hoy with which it inspires us, of better things from the author, when his style shall have become chastened by study and experience 79. Group or Spanish Curmpren.—J. H. She- gogue, A.—Hard and brick-dusty in color, and pos- sessed of no merit that we can discover, either in design or execution. 196.

A.—In the same un-Cole like style, with 54, (View of Mount Etn ‘We must reiterate our hope that Mr. Cole will abandon a manner totall unworthy of his genius, and resume that whic! placed him deservedly among the best landscape painters of the age. 154. St. Perer LIBERATED FROM PRISON BY THE Aneet—Sketch from the large picture painted for Sir Geo. Beaumont —W.Allston, H.—Allston is beyond dispute the greatest histor: al painter in America, if not in the world. His style is the severest epic ; hi imagination brilliant, rich and inexhaustible; and his knowledge of art singularly profound. This sketch cannot be esteemed a very favorable specimen of his manner, but it is nevertheless full of genius. It is to be regretted that Mr. Allston should seclude himself so muchfrom the world,which he is 80 emi- nently formed to benefit and adorn. His counsel and assistance would be of inestimable value to the rising echeol of art in America. But like most men of high and original genius—for the ideal—he has few sympathies with the stir. and bustle of active life. Not but that Allston is a kind and liberal friend to aay young artist who may seek him, but his soul is too much wrapped up in the lofty and glorious visions that inspire the art to which he has consecrated his life, to let him mingle freely with society. America may well be proud of Allston. Saror’s Srrixe—Tur Cavse.—However much we may be opposed to the method adopted, we are pleased to learn that the sailors have been succese- ful in their late strike for the old rate of wages. The agents thet shipped the crew of the packet ship Ash- burton, took the liberty—without the knowledge or consent of Grinnell, Minturn & Co., her owners—of reducing the wages per month from $15 to $13, which induced all the agents for other ship owners to do the same thing. The price paid by the packets governs the rest. The charges and impositions our seamen are compelled to submit to from the shipping agents of this city, is outrageous, and callsloud for a complete reformation. Fifteen dollars a month is little enough for the dangers and privations of a sailor’s life, with- out having extortions practised on him at every port he lands at, or demands made for duties he does Not contract to perform. According to a customestablished 1n this port—by whom we knew not—a sailor, out of his paltry fife teen dollars a month, is obliged to pay one dollar on shipping for a foreign port,and twenty cents a month for hospital money. The latter they do not complain of, aswhen it is most required they receive the be- nefit of it, but the former is a taxthey do not under- stand, or reap any advantage from. The seamen in our packet ships have a portion of their fifteen dol- larsa month reserved to pay the expense of watch- ing the ship while lying in a foreign port. With all these exactions, their wages—even at the highest rates—are cut down to a trifle. We are happy to be infermed that Grinnell, Min- turn & Co, and also all other ship owners, immedi- ately on hearing the cause of the strike, agreed to pay the old and regular wages, and if they would adopt some way to ship their crews by which our sailors would be beyond the power and control of the numerous shipping agencies of {this port, they would confera great blessing on this valuable but much abused class of citizens to whom they entrust their valuable ships and cargoes to all parts of the world. City Intelligence, Porice.—We understand the Mayor in his re-ap- pointment of Marshals attached to the several police offices, intends to sift the wheat from the chaff, and select those only who are known to be competent, efficient, jand every way qualified. He will ‘also recommend the appointment ef Marshals to attend the civil courts, to be made by the Common Cosn- cil, and then call in the services of the one hundred falling to his appointment,to act as a criminal police corps alone. This will allow him an opportunity to station officers at all the important depots of arrival and departure of passengers, where pickpockets and rogues most do congregate. Also at various parts of our city where crime is most prevalent. We look forward to his efficient action, backed bya Democratic Common Council, in anticipation of auch a reform in our police system as will satisfy the whole community, and if he should fortunately be transterred to the Custom House, the gertleman whom we anticipate will be placed in the Presi- dent’s chair of the Board of Aldermen, who will then act as Mayor, has the calibre and disposition to accomplish all these desired improvements in our police system. Common Counct..—Both Boards of Aldermen meet to-night to wind up, as far as possible, their public business. The new Loards meet to-morrow at 12 o’c!ock, when it is aes that they will immediately assemble in joint ballot by concurrent resolution, in order to make some two hundred ap- pointments. There will be great fun to-morrow. Much chuckling where success follows, and such cursing and swearing, and ripping and tearing, and drinking and slinking among those who fail to suc- ceed, will rarely, if ever, be equalled at any ye time, as those ‘who are disappointed now will re« main so until another change in tae character of the Common Council gives them another chance. jis morn- Tire Court or Srsstons meet formally this m ing at}1 o'clock, and then adjoure watt » hi a atthe same hour. No jary trials will be taken up to-day, caine Goon Times —The keels of 15 new steamboats have just been laid at Cincinnati.

If you are really desirous fof im- parting: information to your numerous readers on this subject, I beg leave to sapmit the following for your consideration :— e Sylvania Ascociation, of which I am a member, has purchased its domain in Pike county, Pennsylvania, and has sent forth its pioneer division to commence the work of preparation. Jis great object is to provide constant, and as far as posable, agreeable occupations for all its members—to divide justly the proceeds of labor and capital—to establish ‘a comprehensive system of education, and to make ample provision for the aged and the sick—to abolish the odious distinction between master and servant, and to bring itself in subjection to the law of order. Surely there is nothing fanciful in this project—no- thing but what even you, with all your fastidious- ness, might commend to the public—nothing which a well wisher to society would not take pleasure in advocating. J live in hopes that even the Herald will yet lend a helping hand to aid what is obviously 80 desirable. Ww. Remarx.—And probably this Association will end in a farce, as & dozen similar Associations have in different parts of the world.—Ed. Her. 0G- Barnum, of the American Museum, has effected 8D engagement with Professor Garvey and Son, whose mere than miraculous escape at Gaudaloupe is quite in- credible. We believe it has been demonstrated beyond adeubt, that the earthquake was caused by the Comet coming in contact with the island. At the very moment the shock occurred, Professor Garvey, with a presence of mind unparalleled, caught hold of the tail of the Comet, and clung to it with the grasp of a desperate man, the sn, following the example set him by his sire, clinched the tail of his respectable parent’s coat. The Gomet, deeply offended at the addition to his tail, bounded from the earth, and wended his way to somo other quarter of the globe. We tell the fale as it was told to us.
