Borts’ Learrer on Tyrertsm—Tur Romance or Porrtics. One of the most interesting, instructive, and philo- sophical emanations which the present literary age has brought forth is a brochure, just published by John M. Botta, Ex-M. C., of Richmond, Virginia, giving an account of the “ sayings and doings” of Captain Tyler in Washington, before and after his accession to the presidency. The statements therein recorded are so extraordinary that few would believe them, but as John Botts has affixed his affidavit to their truth, there can be little doubt of their general and particular accuracy. This wonderful, this startling, this extraordinary ,this Shaksperian brochure we have divided into seven chapters, to correspond with the seven churches in Asia—the seven golden candlesticks—and the seven angels. To each chapter we have added a table of contents, as ancient commentators serve the Illiad, the Odyssey, and other great works of genius. In our second edition, we shall further divide them into verses—and embellish them with engravings, of the different scenes in the drama. This brochure isa most extraordinary development —and will produce extraordinary effects on the pub- lic mind. The naivet2 with which Botts describes his sleeping in the same bed with Captain Tyler at Brown’s Hotel, and of settling the affairs of the nation under a blanket, reminds us of many pas- sages in Apuleius, in Shakspeare, in Fielding, and in Jack the Giant Killer. 1t is evident also that the language and style of conversation used by Captain Tyler, and also Botts, resemble, in a remarkable manner, that of General Jackson, when placed in a similar position at the head of the nation. General Jackson in his difficulties, generally swore “By the E-—1,” which was more sublime than beautiful—but Captain Tyler and Botts s ear in the old fashioned style—“ByG—d.” This is also verylike the language frequently heard among the “young democracie” round Tammany Hall and the Pewter Mug—and shows that Captain Tyler is, beyond a doubt, a pure democrat of the most unquestionable principles, and will run all before him in the ensuing con- test. It is true that precise, religious, moral, or quiet people may object to such language, and {deem it verging on blasphemy ; but what of that ? the poli- ticiaas rule the country—govern public opinion— and give the law to thesuccession. The rest ef the world is an inert mase—the politicians are every thing. We now set down Captain Tyler as certain of catching the ‘“‘democracie,” and of making sure of his re-election. ‘The Romance of Tylerlsm—or Sayings and Doings of John Botts and Captain Tyler. Cwarren I. How John Botts, the M. C. horse jockey, and-John Ty- ler, the Captain and President, met first in the White Hyruse—How they talked onan eld fashioned Bank and swore terribly in the‘old fashioned style—Three God- demne, 7 . . . . . But while the conversation which 1 am now about to give in fall detail occurred, (as was not only natural, but certain to have happened,) imthe absence of all wit- nesses, yet I will give such circumstantial and corrobo- rative evidence of its truth, as will not fail to remove every remnant of doubt, upon the mind of every candid os isinterested reader, no matter to what party he may long. It was on Wednesday, the third day of the extra session of Congress, that I visited Mr. Tyleron business that had been intrusted to my charge, by some of my constituents, when the following conversation took place, the sub- stance of which he now so emphatically ies; asl mean to affix my affidavit to it, I shall give entire), in full, verabatim et literatim gry (and I believe I can repeat it preci ss it occurred,) andthis will plead my apology for the introduction of lan age, which 1 confess was neither becomin to Mr. nor myself, at] proper for t! b) ts =hewores, ‘as it was used | must'repest it perl iF After getting through the business which carried me there, Mr. Tyler said: “ Well, Botts,1 understand you have been denouncing my Deeees: ‘o which I replied—“No, Mr. Tyler, I have said no- thing about your ¢ that deserves to be character- ised as denunciation, though I am sorry to find yeu have already established a backstair influence here, to commu- nicate every whisper that may be made. [ll tell you candidly what I did say of the message, when asked my opinion of it; I said it was a slip slop, milk and water af- fair, and not such as { had expected or desired to see.” Mr. Tyler, said with some animation, but good humor: edly : “Well, God damn it, what did you expect or wish ” “Well sir,” saiJ 1, “I would have had you to recommend a Bank of the United States, flat footed, and in the jmost unqualified terms.” “Now, by God,” said Mr. Tyler, “that shews how damned hard you are to please. I have submitted to your consideration three plans ; the Bank of the United States, the Bank system and the Sub-Treasury; and have told Youto take your choice, and I would be satisfied with either.’ “But,” said [, “Mr. Tyler, didn’t you know that a whig Congress would take neither the State bank system ner the Sab.1 reasury?” a |,” said he, “and therefore you ought to be satisfi “I should have preferred that you and I can recollect it, “Well,” | answered, should have recommended a Bank of the United States outright fet Congress have come to your aid, and stood shoulder to shoulder upon the question, instead of saying that each had been condemned in its turn; and we should then have escaped the taunt we now meet from our opponents —that we have a whig President who dare not recommenda Bank. But,” I continued, “there was an- other objection I had bap owt Message: | would had ig to recommend the distribution of the sales of ic lanas, without qualification.” “And so Thay pub- ve,” said he. “you have attached a proviso, that the shouldn* exceed those contemplated by the act of 1838, which you know they are obliged to do, in pr to raise enough revenue for the support of govern. ment.” “There it is again! Why, by God, sir, you don’t under- stand the Compromise Act;”” we Repping of to his table, ho brought the volume of ‘laws containing the Compro- mise Act, and read from it the which declares that nothing herein contained shall be eo construed as to revent the passage of any act prior te the 30th of June, 842, in the contingency either of excess or deficiency of revenue, altering the rates of duties, &c., 80 as to edjust the revenue to suit either Contingenc: Now,” said he, “sir, hasn't the contingency sfisen? Is tikere nora ie: ficency in the revenue? And what is there in thie act to prevent you trom raising the duties to 20, 36, 40, 60 or 100 per cent, it it shall be necessary, ‘without ‘violating its provi ta"Well,” said I, “Mr. Tyler, if this be your con: of that act, why’ did you say’ anything about the main contemplated by it, in connection with the subject of Dis tribution? ” haat “Oh,” said he, “you know whata certain portion of the country think of the Compromise Act, and it is well enough to humor them.” I. How Botts advised the about his salary and savings = How the Captain liked the three term principle—How Botts thought one a dose—More hard swearing in the Kood old Jeffersonian style. And for this it was that I denounced his pharisaical and hypocritical cant about the Compromii tt when he ve toed the Crd Dill, because it violated, as he said, ite pr {isons and therefore required us to give up the iatriba- ont tale potas pope “slight pause in the conversa- » tl want to give os, and ere is one piece of advice I pa ot ue) Ot have invited me to talk free. ‘ou are & poor man, and will feel it more sensibly when you retire ft situation, than z have ever done el it necessary to live and entertain in a style itterent from what you have been accustomed to, and unless you pro- vide the means now, you will be placed in an emberrase. ing situation. You rt to up your salary $15,000 a year, which fa four a ‘will give you $60,000 =-and that in Williamsburg will be a fine éstate, uj which you can live, after the payment ef all your debts, as will our station.” Yr * Botts,” said he, “ why confine me to four years “ Why confine you to what 7” said! wit surprise. * Yes, why confine me to four years? not twelve? Tam now ealy finishing out the unexpired term of General Harrison, and if Ican make my administration popular, why should I not be entitled to an election on my own account—and then if1 could make myself acceptable to the people, why should I not serve eut my own eight Jearkat others havedone before?” “Why, Mr. Tyler,” I answered, “ you forget the one term principle.” “ No,” said hi if every body else would be bound by the one term ie so would! ; but nobody else is, and why should I be ‘Mr. Tyler,” said 1, “ let me entreat you, even in jest, never to talk in this way to any body else.” This having been said "parently half in jest and half in earnest, I was doubtful how he intended it, until in « more serious tone he resumed :— “Now, Botts, don’t you go off half cocked, and oppose my administration—I’ had rather any man in Congress should oppose my administration than you—I am under greater obligations to you than any body else, and there is no man whote interests I should take greater pleasure in reneting than yours. Now, sir,I haveacabinet around me not of my own selection ; this is General Harrison’s cabinet, and I de not know how long I can live in harmon with them. I don’t know how soon I may have to call around me a political family of my own choice, and when 1 do, where should I look so soon as to my old friends, from ay own doors,” extending both hands towards me. Said I, “ Mr. Tyler, it is time you and I had come to an understanding. ‘You say you had rather an: fire sir, in in Con. should oppose your administration than I. Now, me say to you, if it is your purpose to act with fidelity to that great whig party to which I am and ever have been attached on principle, and which brought you into | ower ; if itis your purpose to carry out in good faith those measures of relief, which we have promised to the country—you shell never want a supporcer on that floor while I am there and ableto render you assistance— but, by G—d, Mr. Tyler, as your pui to betray that party, and to defeat their measures ; if it is your pur- pose to break them down and set up a party for yourself —Vll be damned if ever you did see a more violent and bitter panties, than you will find in me ; and as for office, to which you have alluded, let me say to you, that thers is not an office in the gift of the Executive, that I desire to hold, and not one that I would consent to accept, if it were to be attended with the slightest sacrifice of my po: litical integrity, or ef the confidence of my constituents.” “Well, well,” said he, “ we wont talk any more about this now—Come, take off your hat and stay and dine with me.” I tried to excuse myself ; he insisted, took my hat and umbrella from me ; and I staid, and broke bread that day with him for the last time in his own house. Cuar. III. How John Botts moralised but not on horsese—Hoo his conscience felt—How it, worked on the growth of cot- ton. Now fer the circumstantial and corroborative evidence of the truth of this whole statement. In the first place, ifthere be any portion of the people of this country, whe, frem an ignorance of my character, can belueve me capable of fabricating such a statement as this to socom liek, any selfish or interested motive, or for the purpose of prejudicing the public mind against Mr. Tyler—ni Thad any such design at the time t! lid to have taken place; for I was, atthat time, on termsof the strictest friendship and closest confidence with him—anxious by every honor ble meansto advance his views, rejoicing in his succe: and buoyant with hopes of prosperity to the country, re- ting frem what Isupposed would be the policy of his ministration. ‘What object could I have had at that time, what pur- pose could I have subserved in trumping up such a tale as this against one, for my too ardent support of whom, in the Legislature of Virginia, fora seat in the Senate, I had incurred the displeasur: some of my best frien and alienated the affections of some of the Whigs the State; and te whom, because I believed him to be honest and ill treated man, I had adhered with a const: cy, tenacity and zeal worthy of a better cause anda better man. And yet such was the impression made on my mind by the interview held that day with Mr. Tyler, as to his ultimate purpose to run for a second and third term which was only to be secomplished by the destruction of the Whig party, that I mentioned the cenversation to several of my intimate friends on the same night of the day on which it occurred. Cuar. IV. How John Botts talked with Senators Crittenden and Man- M@ gum in secrecy. How Mr. Gibbons did not know much aboat Captain Tyler. Gibbons a fool. At that time the Hon. Wm. C. Dawson and the Hon. Reger L. Gamble and myself formed a mess, and to each of them I mentioned, in confidence, what had transpired between Mr. Tyler and myself, and expressed my appre. hension ofthe result. On a subsequent,and perhaps to some of them as early as the next day, I mentioned it confiden- tially to my friends the Hon. Willie P. Mangum, Jno. J. Crittenden, and I think the Hon. Wm. 8. Archer, with all of whom I wason terms of the most familiar intimacy, be- sides one or two of my colleagues. To Mr. Clay I believe Inever mentioned it, either until the veto message was sent in, or until it was ascertained with certainty that it was to come, when I put him in possession of Mr. Tyler's views of a twelve years’ term, that he might be on his gu I ‘e not time, before I feel it necessary to answer this “by authority” attack on my veracity, to write to all or any of the gent en above referred to ; but if any one of them do not recollect to heard substantially, if not , aa I have related it above, I wish him to contradict it publicly. I would prefer that they should corroborate this statement, if their recollec- tions accord with mine; but knowing the reluctance with which meny gentlemen appear in these newspaper controversies, I will only ask (if they object to the her tspcap-] that they will contradict this whole statement if they did not hear of it long prior to any rupture between Mr. Tyler and myself. ‘This is the conversation which was alluded to by Mr. Gibbons, of Philad ol last fall, in a public address to the citizens of Philadelpbia. An im fect account of SS reached Mr. Gibbons, who of this conversation iv ‘suppose by authority} to give. And which was referred to in the late canvass only at its close, after it had been mentioned repeatedly by my competitor, somewhat in a spirit of re- buke, that I had fallen out and quarrelled with men in wer (a charge from which I entirely exonerated him), fause it became pro; in my own vindication, te show that if I had quarrelled with men in power it was because Thad found pre bat profligate and corrupt, aud un- worthy of my confidence or th peertotithe people, and at the same time to show that I could have had no person: al or selfish object in quarrelling with patronage, honor, emolument and reward, allof which attached to men in power, and to show that if I did quarrel with power, it was because | preferred a sacrifice ol my personal edvance- rook asurrender of my representative duty and fide- ity. . . . . * . v. How Mr. Clay was against Tyler—John Botts’ Amendment, but not of his life and ways. It is not necessary that I should go into a history of the amendment subsequently offered by Mr. Clay to the Bank Bill, of which he complains—a part of the statement is true, a part utterly and aeration f false—it is enough to say that Mr. Clay had never seen it at the time I presented it te Mr. Tyler, and was o; to it when he did see it at first—and at last yielded to his high sense of patriotism, in offering it to the Senate, from a persuasion (not derived from me) it it weuld be acceptable te Mr. Tyler, and that without it, tt could not pass the Senate; and fone with an upright conscience, that so far from that amend- ment being adopted with a vrew of embarrassing Mr. ler, that I had ‘en Ghen to believe, as had Mt that if adopted, the bill would receive his signat: Crar. VI. How John Botts and Captain Tyler slept in the same bed at Brown’s Hetel—How they spent the night on various to- pics, public and private—How in Tyler for; morning what he had been at.—. Be and gives up the Captain as hopele In regard to the last paragraph of Mr. Tyler’s article, it is false that | ever made an; Feach assertion. I do not know to what particular occasion he alludes, when he as. serts that I made the statement there ascribed to m I recollect the conversation at his rooms, at Brown’s tel, very well; and I imagine whatever | have said here: tofore, will be found to correspond with what I am now about to say. On the night of the 2d ef March, *41, Mr. Tyler and myself slept in the same bed, and talked more t) alf the night on various subjects, public and private—among those subjects of a public nature was the establishment of anational bank. There was strong reason then to appre: hend that there would be atie inthe Senate on that ques- tion, which we both deprecated. “But,” said I, Tyler, it will afford you a glorious op. portunity to immortalize your name. Ifthe of an institution so indispensable to the prosper country should be carried by your casting vote, it will lay the nation under a weightof obligation that will never be forgotten.” To which he replied, “ that it was a responsibility he did not covet—that he would rather avoid it; but if it did come to that, they should find that he was capable, asa national representative, of making a sacrifice, or of yield- s igi former opinions expressed as a represe: tative of Vi J On the next morning, anumber of gentlemen cailed, and some of them introduced the subject of a bank, a1! supposed, with a view of ascertaining what they had to expect from Mr. Tyler, if he should have to decide the question as the presiding officer of the Senate—and I re- marked to them : “ You need not indulge any fears on that subject; Tyler willdo what is right; he'll vote for a bank.” “ Come,” said Mr. Tyler, “dont you commit me too far on that subject, Botte.” “Why,” said I,“ I can’t commit you have already committed yourse! “ Well, gentlemen,” said Mr. Tyler, ‘ 1’ll tell you this much—it f am called on to give the rote, I will give it without the slightest reterence to any opinion that [ ma: at any former period have entertained or expressed while @ Representative of Virginia. 1am now a National Rep- resentative, and will not allow old opinions to have any influence on my present course.” All seemed to be satisfied, and Ido not believe there was & man fpresent (who believed Mr. Pica worthy) that left the room wit! the Lill ithe had to Veteatalle net ne Would vote for . . ’ . ‘During the same, or age it might have been in a subsequent conversation, and of this | will not be certain, he remarked that while Providence had always watched over this country with peculiar care, its hand had never been so visible as in the death of Gen! Harrison—for | had lived he could never have carried it through ithe storm that was risiny » “Lam the only man that can administer it, for my popularity in the North on account of my vote against the Force Bill, and my general acquiesence in the views of thefSouth (allud- ing to Bank, Tariff, kc.) places me in a situation to do what no other man could.” “Well,” said 1, “Mr, Tyler, you are hopelessly in- curable.” “ Why, Botts,” said he, “ what do you consider as the true test of greatness—Is it not success? and did you ever know me to attempt any thing in which I did not suc- ceed ‘Oh yes,” ou attemy to be made Senator a tpg two ago, and 1 think? you didn’t succeed in But who can believe that a gentleman, entertaining this idea of his transcendant qualifications, did not then intend to be a candidate for re-election?

IN M. BOTTS. Mar th, 1843. Ciryvor Ricxmonn, to wit : This day personally a red before me, an Alderman for the city of Richmond, John Minor Botts, who made oath that all the facts set forth in the foregoing communi- cation are substantially and literally true. Given under myhand and seal this 9th day of May, 1843, JAMES EVANS, J. P.—(Srav.} FaswionaBLe AND Financia, DgvRLOPMENTS AT Wasuinoton—Anotuer Joun Jongs 1N THE FisLp. —We give additional particulars of the grand ex- plosion in Washington, and discovery of rats in the Treasury. Many more explosions are expected. We annex extracts from the “Globe.” With re- spect to thefallusion of the “Globe” to the “‘Her- ald,” we only say that the ‘“Madisonian” does not monopolize the JohnJones at all, at all. The*‘Globe” hasgot one of the original stock—as great an ass 68 any decent paper could wish for. “John Jones of the Globe says that a person of the name of “Har- vey” corresponded with the Herald last winter. There is not a word of truth in the story. Put John Jones of the Globe, and John Jones of the Madiso- nian, in the same bag, shake them well, and the first to come out would be an ass—so would the second. Frem the Washington Globe of Saturday. The examination of witnesses was continued yesterday at the Treasury Department. Two witnesses were ex- amined, Mrs Augusta A Dorsey, of Lombard street, Bal- timore, who, we mentioned yesterday, had come to this city ; and a Mr. Broome, of this city, formerly a lieuten- ant inthe United States marine corps. We have not in- uired the purport of their testimony, because now that the outlines of the case have been given, we deem it im- oper to bias the publie mind in regard to the matter. Mir Dowden, the clerk whom we mentioned yesterday as having been committed and bailed, met us last night, and said we had done him injustice iv our article of last eve- ning ; and, that if we had heard Mrs. Dorsey’s testimony yesterday in his favor, it would have convinced us of our error. Itis natural for Mr. Dowden to think, or at least it the testimony was in his favor. Mr Hoban, or lawyer for Mr. Dowden, said to us this morning that we had borne down too hard on his client— he did not think the proof authorized our statement, to the extent it would lead the public mind. This opinion of the attorney is also very natural. The law would be but & poor busin: should give their real opinions of their cases We have heard numereus contradictory statements since esterday, which we do not think it worth while tono- ice. Indeed, it would, in our opinion, be wrong to print them. Upon reading over our article of yesterday, this morning, we can see nothing in it which we feel author- izedto alter. No clerk, except Dowden, has been impli- cated by any testimony which has been given. But we deem it proper to state thet there is a rumor out of doors, implicating a clerk named James E. Harvey, in the ris- ter’s office, which we feel ourselves called upon to notice, and disabuse the public mind, as far as we can, in regard to Mr. Harvey. It was currently reported yesterday that he had left here, had been apprehended in New York, a large amount of tirancta? & notes found in his possession, and that he had been brought back to thiscity in irons. The story has been repeated to us again this morning; and the ublie seem very willing, if not anxious to believe it. The fact is, Mr. Harvey is very unpopuler in this city ; and most of its inhabitants like to hear and circulate every thing they can against him. As we have we will state, as far as we know, what makes y 80 unpopular with our citizens—in order to clear him of any unjust suspicions which might attach to him if we were to stop here. In the first place, he is very pompous; carries an eye- glass, ‘ which, ever and anon,” he takes out of his pocket, and examines ns critically. His eyes, though not showy or rght y, being white, or’ pale. ue na white, are apparently enough to see every passing around him beter without the aid of the glass than with it. We have those kind of eyes ourself; and we should like to see the man who could beat us with a rifie, at a dead mark, one hundred yards off hand—that is, at arm’s length. We don’t use g! because we cannot yet, we re happy to say, see through them, and could not, with them on, hit“ all.out-doors,” et the distance of one hun- Ca kode with a rifle. It is evident, or apperent, that Mr. Harvey uses a glass to make himself seen, and not to see others. Mr. Harvey’s pomposity has earned for him, or attached to him, the uneviable nickname of “ Lord Mervoy.” It ic eeid that he wus Drought up tu the trade or art of a printer, and now denies it. If that be so, how foolish it is in him to deny it, asit is the “art preservative of allarts.” He was a member of, or subscriber to, ing party that met regularly at theAssembly Rooms in this citylest winter,and was turned out of it,and hed his money returned to him, because he wrote a’ letter to the editor of the New York Herald, puffing himself particularly and extravagantly. Wedo not know that it was proven be. ond doubt or cavil that he wrote the letter ; but we have trom the best authority, that he was turned out of the “ party” for it, and his money returned to him, which he pocketed. Dowden occupied the same room with Har- vey, in the Treasury building, until about three weeks and, during the time they were together, lists of arked y: Whigs,” to be proscribed, it is thonght ba my ec ye iS ha LA ae with Dowden, probably, excited suspicion again im, as soon as it was! sacertalned that Dowden wes deeply im. plicated in the treasury note transaction. ‘Weare informed that three persons have just been ai rested, charged with the abstraction ofthe treasury not. from the New Orleans custom house; and must atop be. fore we can do Mr. eres 6 fall justice, and inquire into it. These are brisk times They came to Brown’s on the 2d instant, and entered thelr si es alone on the register, as follow: ‘Breed- love, Jewell, and Austin. When they sent to the post office in this city for letters, the messenger was told to ask for letters for J. 8. Merrit, in place of, or for, Jewell ; and for J. 8. Austin, for Austin. Breedlove, it issaid, isthe son of J. W. Breedlove, Eeq.of New Orleans,one of the most respectable residents of that city. They are now before a magistrate, but we have not heard a word of the evidence against them. Tue New Common Councir—Gangrat Rurcrm 1n THE City Government.—Both the new Boards of the Common Council meet this afternoon. The Mayoris a democrat, dyed in the wool; and both Boards are now democratic, by overwhelming ma- jorities. There is, therefore, nothing to disturb the harmony of legislative action in the three branches of the city government. Now, therefore, in the name of the people of this city, we call upon Alderman Purdy to take off his coat and go towork. Often during the past year, did we beg the smiling Alderman of the 10th to con- sent to some police reform. But no, he always shook his head, saying that in any reform there would be appointments, and it would never do to let the whigs have the making of them. This was all very well—or at least very democra- tic. But if there isa police reform made now, it is equally obvious that the locofocos will have all the appointments to make ; and we shall therefore look to Alderman Purdy to roll up hrsshirt sleeves and goto work. Give usa reform of the police, and a reform of the whole criminal system. Fulfil your promise. We remember also that the same worthy Alder- man has promised us a thorough “subtraynean” re- formation in the matter of street cleaning. The street contract is to be repudiated—that’s the word —the new brooms burnt up—and the old brooms re- placed. There is more work for the “Tenth Ward.” Neither must the fire department, the reduction of taxes, the abolition of unnecessary offices, and other similar measures, be forgotten—and especially the resolution of Alderman Tillou, in respect to the non-appointment to any office of men of doubtful moral character—although we greatly fear that in this matter our worthy friend Tillou is behind the times. But we shall see ; the committee to which his resolution was referred will probably report to- night. If it should go into effect, heaven help the office seekers, for the joint ballot can’t. Evrorgan Hotets.—Travellers going the tour of Europe ought always to provide themselves with the names of good hotels before they arrive at the seve. ralplaces to be visited. We can recommend the following from the best authority, and some person- al knowledge :— Liverpool — Adelphi Hotel. London—Markwell’s Lung’s Hotel. Do. London Family Hotel. De. North American Cotfee Houre. Paris—Meurice’s Hotel, Rue Rivoli. Our Hanrnor.—The anchorage off the Battery presents a beautiful sight. Three of the finest ships afloat can all be seen atthessme glance. The United States ships Independence, North Carolina, and British frigate Warspite, ride quietly at anchor. May the flags above them ever continue at peace. 4 Cuear Lirsratorg—Tue Rivat Pustisuers.— The great contest in the publication of cheap litera- ture is now between the Harpers and Winchester. All the others are, it would seem, driven out of the field. We are now speaking of the novels and lighter species of works, for Appleton and the Lang- ley’s are going into the religious and strictly moral line somewhat extensively. One of the most remark- able things which we have seen recently, is the ex- traordinary re-publication of “Home,” astranslated by Mary Howitt. It seems that Winchester pro- cured advance proof sheets of the translation from London, for which he paid. The work was imme- diately put to press, and on Saturday morning it was issued in the form ot a double “ New World,” and sold for twenty-five cents. On the evening of the same day the Harpers issued it in an elegant book form for one shilling ! Winchester then reduced the price to a shilling. Probably this day the Harpers will reduce their edition tosixpence. They had better come to acent at once. What is to be the end of all this we cannot see, as it respects the interests of the publishers. The Har- pers have an immense capital and can continue the contest for years; but we doubt whether Winchester can hold out so long, as he has only recently gone into the business. He has, however, a good share of enterprise and energy, and 1s certainly fighting it out wellsofar. The effectof all this dissemination of cheap literature on the public mind, is another and far more important consideration. It would indeed appear that this flood of literature has had a most extraordinary effect on the health both of the’ souls and bodies of the public. The public morals have unquestionably been benefitted. A great deal of trash, to be sure, has been circu- lated, and the poison of licentious novelists has in many instances wrought its baneful effects. Buta vast amount of good has beendone. Great inroads have been made on the domains of popular igno- rance, and a healthful stimulus been afforded to the minds ef many who would otherwise have sought excitement in the low aud grovelling resorts of sen- suality. Wedo believe that one of the chiefest agencies in the temperance reformation has been the diffusion of intellectual nutriment. Give men the wheat, and there’s|ittle fear of their going back to the husks of the swine. Patent nostrums and in- fallible panaceas, again,do not now go down the pub- lic throat by millions of gallons, and pyramids of pills annually. The fact is, the great mass of the community are so intent on reading, that they hav’nt got time to get sick and physic themselves to death This is not at alla laughable view of the’ question. It would |be very difficult to exagge- rate the effects of this cheap reading, and more dif- ficult still todefine and calculate them all. Verily, “there are more things in heaven and earth than are dreamt of in your philosophy, Horatio.” Arxantic Steam Suirs.—Nothing has occurred in the progress of events in this age, so remarkable asthe rapid improvement made in steam ships.— Yesterday, asit were, Fitch and Fulton launched their rough, uncouth boats into the Hudson and De- lawere, and to-day the Hibernia, amagnificent new steamer, comes booming up Boston harbor trimmed gaily with flags, and the Great Western arrives fill- ed with passengers from all parts of the civilized world, whom she brings over the broad Atlantic in two weeks, without stopping to take even a breath. In 1819 our packet ships or transient ships were six to twelve weeks in making the passage. Who is not elated to see this improvement even if a boiler does explode now and then? Since the introduction of steam in navigating the Atlantic, the progress made 1n civilizing the world has been prodigious, and the bringing together of the people of the globe into one family circle is yet to have the most beneficial effect upon mankind, and the jrice of English calicoes. We see the ef- fect already produced in the improvement in steam shipssince the lamented Captain Roberts piloted the little Sirius, the Child of the Ocean, over the Atlantic and anchored her safely off the Battery to the delight ot thousands if not more. This pioneer of the undertaking, the avant courier of the fleet of ocean steamers has: disappeared, but her place has been taken by others, and the last that came over, drawing nineteen feet and ten’inches, was the Hibernia, the crack steamer of the Atlan- tic. No boat has surpassed her in splendor and strength, and itis said that none will surpassor equal her in speed. The Hibernia isnew and has crossed the ocean but once. She then drew too much water, in conse- quence of an over supply of fuel, having enough on her arrival at Boston to take her to Liverpool again. It was ascertained that her speed was greater, and the consumption of coal less than the Britanma, Aca- dia, Columbia, or Caledonia, and that speaks strong- ly in her favor. 1t is useless, therefore, to carry the comparison any further. We have already published descriptions of this magnificent ship, taken from the English papers, and our readers must for this reason have some idea of her. But to appreciate her qualities and beauties, she must be seen. Shehas ample accommodations fer one hundred and twenty-five passengers, and the state rooms are upwards of eleven feet in height ; each with free ventilation and plenty of room. In- deed, we never before saw such state rooms in a vessel; they are more like large rooms in the Astor House. All other parts of the steamer are on a par with the state rooms. D. Brigham, Jr., her agent in this city, who is at Harnden’s, in Wall street, has drawings of her, which give one a clearer idea of her than any thing but the shipherself. Those in- terested had better see them. Her main saloon, which is immediately under the promenade deck, is acuriosity in itself. It is beautifully fitted up, and decorated with eighteen or twenty splendid oil paintings, representing Liverpool, Boston, New York, Dumbarton Castle, with Ben Lomond, &c., which tend to divert passengers, and drive off the monotony of travelling through the solitude of the ocean. That is something. This steam packet alone is enough to draw the public after her; but there 18 something more than the ship to attract; there is Captain Judkins, her commander. Asa commander he is only equalled by the Hibernia asa ship. They are a sort of Sia- mese twins of the ocean, and we verily believe they are made for each other. It was Captain Judkins that crossed the Atlantic twice in thirty-three days, going from Boston inthe Columbia, which left there on the 2d ult., and returning in the Hibernia, which left Liverpool on the 19th of the same month. He did this, and stopped three days in the latter city. Had the Hibernia less coal when she started, he would have performed the feat in one month or less. As it is he has something to tell his children. With such steamers as the Hibernia, Great Wer- tern, Columbia, Great Britain, and Le Christophe Colomb, &c., the solitudes of the ocean will soon give place to sights and scenes, such as ate present- ed in the beautiful bay of New York on a lovely summer afternoon. All will look gay and every rip- ple reflectasteamer, Sueeirr Harr is still in the custody of the Coro- ner, a special officer having been appointed by him for that purpose in accordance with the law. Having charge of all the prisons in the county of New York, he cannot be kept there nor in his house. Apart- ments have therefore been provided elsewhere, where he remains with comfort to himself, and has an opportunity to see his family. The circumstances of his defalcation have been presented to the Gover- nor, who will take some action in afew days. If he is removed, a new appointment must follow, or if he should resign, some one must be selected in his place. §cg- Tue Menaaenie or exhibition of wild animals, at the corner of Broadway and 14th street, is one of the mos t magnificent we have ever seen. The ele- phants, lions, tigers, &c. are of the first quality and size. Driesbach, the lion-tamer, is one of the best and boldest we ever saw. His power over the ani mals is wondertul, It is crowded all day and part of the night. Musicat.—Nagel gives his farewell concert at Niblo’s on Tuesday evening, assisted by M. Nour- rit, the celebrated vocalist. This will be the last Opportunity of hearing Nagel, as he leaves in & few days by a steamer or sailing vessel for the con- tinent. Mrs. Surron also gives a farewell concert on Wednesday evening next, at the Tabernacle. Bley will assist her, and her charming little daughter will appear and sing in costume. A great array of talent will likewise aid. ‘This will positively be the last opportunity of hearing this charming cantatrice, asshe leaves for Italy. Her generous assistance, given successively to the St. George’s Society, the Italian Benevolent Society, and the French Society in aid of the Guadaloupe sufferers, will, we doubt not, be fully appreciated by the exertions of the mem- bers in her behalf. See her advertisement. ‘TueatricaL Movements.—Chippendale has open- ed the theatre in Ciacinnati. Tom Placide and Miss Hildreth are with him, and have made a great impression. John Sefton has arrived in town, and is brushing up at Niblo’sfor the coming campaign. Miss Reynolds has returned from Albany, where she had crowded audiences every night. She is getting her charming yoice in tune for the season at Niblo’s. nist i Mary M. Lee and Field are at Cincinnati. Max Bohrer and Rakeman were at New Orleans by last accounts. Signor de Begnis is at the Chesnut street theatre, Philadelphia, singing in the promenade concerts which they have got up there. K Mr. George Jamison, an actor of great and varied talent, is in town, and will probably be engaged at Niblo’s, where he would be a very valuable man. Yankee Hill is playing at the Chatham to good houses. Savanna River.—On account of the riots which have of late so frequently occurred among the ship- ping in the Savannah river, the interposition of the General Government has been solicited and prompt- ly accorded. The revenue cutter Crawford has already been sent thither; and, in addition, the brig Somers will shortly sail from Norfolk to Savannah, and be placed at the disposal of the collector of the port. After performing this service the Somers will form part of the Home Squadron, and proceed on a cruise to the West Indies. More Forgan News.—The steam ship Caledo- nia, from Liverpool for Boston, has been at sea ele- vendays. We shall look for her arrival about ‘Wednesday, giving # passage of thirteen days. She will bring five days later. ee et Nisto’s Srason.—Part of the French tr oupe from New Orleans have arrived in town—and the rest are expected to-day. Niblo opens his Social and Moral Saloon for French opera and comedy on Thureday of this week. The Ravels are also en- gaged. $g- Patmo’s Granp Arcapr Batus.—Ferdiaand Palmao, the popular proprietor and originator of se- veral of the most magnificent establishments that have everbeen erected in the United States, has be- come sole lessee of the celebrated baths in Chamber street, which he has fitted up and furnished (or rather such will be the case when completed) ina style of Oriental splendor. In addition to this, he has reduced the prices to an almost nominal sum— as will be seen by referring to his advertisement. Hoxoxen.—These delightful grounds, wild pro- menades, and elysian fields were thronged yester- day with old and young, all ages, men, women and children. An immense amount of pure and unal- loyed happiness was enjoyed in those romantic re. gions. The neatest, prettiest resting place for ladies, gentlemen, and children, which we have seen over there is John Ireland’s Washington Gardens. Re- freshments of all kinds can be obtained in his gar- den arbors, in a quiet and genteel style. His parlors above stairs are perfect neatness.

BY THE SOUTHERN MAIL. eed ‘Og The mail south of Philadelphia did not arrive this morning. TO NEW YORK MERCHANTS.—Your at- teation has been repeatedly called to the im and onerous burthen imposed upon the interests of the mercantile community of this city, by the exhorbitant rates of freight charged by the Monopoly steam boat, rail road andcanal companies, between here and Philadel: hia—that is,the Camden and Amboy Line, the New Brunswick and Trenton Railroad Line, and the Delaware and Raritan canal, through which the Merchants and Swifturecanal lines pass. These companies, although presenting as many heads as the neces monster, are gov- erned, controlled and guided in all their operations and movements by a body of Directors who, like most corpo- rations, possess but little soul or regard for aught, save their own welfare and interest. To elucidate matter it is only necessary to contrast the rate for transportation of freight by these various lines, with thoseof other States, or more particularly with those whose operations bear most distinctly upon New York interests. The Di- recters of the Albany and Boston Railroad have long siace fixed their rates ot freight, for the whole distance, at only 15 cents per hundred, while the monopoly between this city ‘and Philadelphie,a distance of only 92 miles, continue to exact from New York and Southern and Western mer- chants the enormous price of 60 cents for fee oh goods and 75cents for cases of lighter articles, compel merchants to forward their orders by this line, exaet 8 cents a foot, 40 cents on a hundred pounds by the Dela- ware and Raritan canal. The effect of there exhorbitant charges thus compared, has. most injurious operation upon thetradeof this city, which has long since been experienced by business men who have justly and loudly proclaimed against it. The result is that many Southern ‘and South Western merchants refuse to purchase snpplies in thiscity, but fillup their orders in Philadelphia, and thus save the additional per centage of the The charge for ht be. and Pittsburgh, a distance that between this city and one half that cha by this monopoly, after deducting the State tolls. The evil does not rest alone here, as the monopoly lines between Philedelphia and Baltimore, who have also kept their rates at an exorbitant pitch, have recently been com Hed, through the enterprise of Messrs. PECK & LORE’S peake and Delaware Canal Line, to reduce it to 10 cents per hundred, for the purpose of driving oft a fair and just opposition, and the monopoly at this end, in order to ‘sustain such oppression, have refused to forward passen- ers from this city to Philadelphia, intended for Peck & re’s line between Philadelphia and Baltimore, by not repiing the agent’stickets, while at the sametime they receive all the tickets for those whe are intended for other iam Runners are pie ee it into Sereaattion oe this end to engage passengers for the menopoly lines ween Philadelphia and Bellmore, and every expedient resorted to to break up and di an opposition that has thus benefitted the public, in the reduction of passage and freight between the two last named cities. Such small and contemptible means to destroy fair competition did not strike the legislators of New Jersey when they grant- ed life to these borg pe and the merchants of this city, the South and West, are now called to protect their own interests and those of the public, by lending a hand pe sustain a bes Rectan ed Sa it ae col 'e wit! raryero , arrogant and overbear! siete ‘The pub lic should be informed of the rea- ese monopolists to start their morning iphia, by the way of the Camden and Am- boy id, at th ‘ly and unusual hour of 5§ o’clock, ‘and for Philadelphia north at.10 o’clock, thus preventing a connection with the Eastern boats, an co — sengerstotake the Railroad Line, at a charge of four dollars, when an express provision of the charter of the former company was that they should be confined to a charge of not more than $3 for each and every passenger. Do they run this daylight line merely because they are compelled by their charterto ¢o407 and isitin the proper spirit thus to impose upon the public that sustains them ? ere are other matters connected with this monopoly, which will be made manifest ere long, and whieb will lay their practices and impositions bare to the public gaze.

Og THE BELLE.—Every oye was turned upon a lovely young lady as she promenaded Broadway a few days since, but scarcely any one knew who she was, or where she belonged. “What a lovely, delicate com- plexion!” exclaimed one. “What a magnificent forehead, and such ge aah whispered another. ‘Did you ever behold such a levely creature” sigheda third. After much conjecture and supposition, a gentleman was seen to tip his beaver very gracefully, which gentleman de- clared that she owed her beauty to Dr. Felix Gouraud— his Poudres Subtiles gave intellectual beauty to her fore- head and eyebrows, by removing the superfluous hair; his Liquid Rouge made her complexion rosy, and his Eau de Beauté imparted the transparent skin. Ladies, if you desire so look charming, call at 67 Walker street, just one door from Broadway, where you can obtain thesaid Cos. metics genuine. ‘Tis apleasure in life to possess and be cheer’d, By a soap that will soften the skin or the beard, Make a lather that’s lasting and strong ; Such acomfort is the old Naples Paste, made by Jones, Whose “hair stuf” makes hair grow on boards or on stones, And is used much by poets in fact and in song.

MONEY MARKET, Sunday, May 14—6 P.M, It was stated yesterday that a part of the Ohio7 per cent loan had been taken at par. That some bids were made by those who desire the 6 per cent stock to sustain its pri- ces, is highly probable. But that a bona fide investment in the stock was made does not obtain credence. The law prescribes that if mot more than $600,000 is taken, the ba- lance, in not less than $100 certificates, shall be issued pro rata to the contractors. The price of this stock has risen 20 per cent in 30days. The rate yesterday was 35, and in London on the 29th, it was offering at 65. This margin cannet exist. It must rise there before the next steamer, or fall heavily here. The possibility is that benks, bro- kors, capitalists and commissioners, will all rush to g«t out. The latter to obtain money to pay their July interest: It isa singular fact, that nine out of the thirteen direc- re desirous of the resignation of the old officers, Bowen, Blatchford and Lord. It is stated that the judgments confessed to contractors have all been paid, while no other obligations have been met. Why is this? It is rumored that the singular tenacity for office evinced by the old incumbents, arrises from the fact that the real indebtedcess to contractors, at the time the co pany refused to pay the interest on the State loan, was $300,000 instead of $500,000,” according to the report made to the Legislature ! The subject of the right of making contracts by one go- vernment to bind a succeeding one, is likely to bewarmly discussed when the street contract comes up before the Common Council. This offers a broad field, and involves some important consequences. A number of very odd contracts have been made; for instance—preposals for a supply of coal, say 3,500 tons, were advertised. The Do Jeware and HudsonCanal made application at certain rates, but a quality of coal every way inferior was taken at 75 cents per ton higher prices. Making about $2,500 hard cash of the people’s money , actually thrown away by the system of pipe laying. This item is indeed small ; but in the words of Patrick Henry, the “ shadow is large enough to darken all this fair land.” Now York is now the great commercial centre of the Union, and must, per force, be the focus of financial opera” tions. It is to this market that all descriptions of public securities are sent to realise ; because it is here that the greatest amount of money accumulates for investment. — ‘The rates obtained regulate the price for the whole coun: try. This is more particularly true since the foreign mar- ket, through the operation of National discredit, is destroy- ed. This being the case, it is to the advantage of evory nd ofevery corporation, that their stocks and secu. rities should stand well in N.York. For this purpose every means of information and every facility for coming into possession, enjoying and again disposing of safely, should be sedulously provided by those interested. We make these remarks more particularly in relation to the Bank of Kentucky; hecause a lorge portion of the stock of that in- stitution is held here and in Philadelphia. The holders of shisstock’are put to great loss, ingonyenience and trouble,
