They are the most laughable things that we have read in many aday. Among the men of sense ct both countries—England and America—there is harmony and good feeling, and long may it continue among the blockheads of both there is a hot war, and we hope they won’tspare eachother. Absurdity and felly, like surplus steam, must be let eff, or the boilers might ex:lode Highly Importent from the North and h—Revolutien in the Policy and ties of New England—New Position of the General Government—Utter Destruction ofthe High Tariff Agitation. We give to-day several articles which possess the highest importance and bearing on the fate of par- ties—the policy of the country—and the future course of the American Administration. We are now furnished with the most unquestionable evi- dence that a revolution has commenced in New England, that will utterly dismember the whig party, and destroy the high tariff policy—a revolu- tion begun by the leading men of Boston and Low- ell, concurred in by the master spirits of the south, and adepted at once by the honest .consent of Pre- sident Tyler. The first article in these developments is extract- ed from the ‘ Boston Courier,” and contains a Inghly interesting correspondence, te which we have heretofore alluded, between Mr. Webster and the leading men and manufacturers of New En- gland, relative to the present state of the country, and the future policy ofthe general government. The opinions and views contained in this corres- pondence, form only the germ of Mr. Webster's great Baltimore speech, which has already created So great an agitation and discussion throughout the land. It isnow proved beyond the reach of doubt or cavil that the manufacturers of New England have come to the resolution to abandon the exclu- sive tariff policy, as well as all its entangling and corrupt alliances with personal parties. The ground now assumed restores the old harmony between the nortli and the south, and will produce a highly beneficial change in public policy, and the move- ments of the masses. This correspondence, and Mr. Webster's speech, are only the beginning of the movement—the mutterings of the thunder be- fore the storm. In a few months the whole nation will be in the midst of the discussion. The other article to which we refer in this con- nection, 1s taken from the “ Madisonian,” the or- gan of the administration at Washington. It is, however, conceived and written with a jar different tone, temper, and sagacity, than the preceding ef- ns of that journal—and bears the marks of great deliberation, proper dignity, and calm resolution.— It is no doubt the index and exponent of Mr. Tyler and his cabinet—and if the same course be pursued hereafter, without any of those weak and feeble at- tempts to establish small papers here and there, to agitate and interfere about small offices—to organ- ize silly associations and clubs for silly and sinister purposes—we have every reason to believe that Mr. Tyler wiil gain the ground he has lost, and will yet entitle himeelf, at the close of his Presidency, to the solid approbation of the country, not the silly adulation of office beggarsand bankrupts. John Tyler, the amiable and patriotic President, as we rtill believe him to be in spite of the errors he has been Jed into by unprivcipled flatterers, has now a chance to take high, noble, independent, and patrietic ground—and to adopt a line of policy that will to terminate his administration with ho- norand applause. The policy now indicated by the purest and most practical men of the east, explained and illustrated by the great intellect of Webster, concurred ia by John C. Calhoun and the great sou- thern interests, is the only eafe ground left for the present government of Mr. Tyler to assume. This poliey rises above all the ephemeral and cor- rupt questions of the day—bank—sub treasury— assuinption — repudiation —distribution—or tanff. By the adoption of this policy alone can the coun- try be relieved—public prosperity es*ablished—the credit of the insolvent States restored—the whole interests of the whole country protected. The hos- tile agitation of interest against interest—clique against igue—section against section, which was introduced by certain politicians at the close of the European wars, has been the cause of all our fioancial troubles— our revulsions—our bankruptcies —our defaleations—and our immorslities of all kinds. A new era begins from this day forward. Courage ! From the Boston Courier.) Ma. Wessrer’s Spsecu at Ballimore does not suitthe N. York American; and the Tribune, of the samme city, with some other papers, insist, in the plenitude of their ignorance and assurance, that what Mr_ Webster has suggested, would be ruinous to New England. We can think of no way, more feasible, to let the Tribune and the class of papers with which it is associated know what New Eog- land people think of such matters, than to publish the following correspondence. Perhaps, after read- ing it, they may understand New England interests better. Or perhaps they may think that Messrs. Sears, Oris, Perkins, Cabot, Mills, Skinner, and Sayles—the largest ownersof manutacturing stock— Mr. Brooks, the largest capitalist in the city—Messrs. Sturgis, Shaw, Hooper, Gardner, and Sargent, wealthy merchants of the highest standing—and the other gentlemen who are connected with the banks and insurance offices—we say perhaps the editors of the papers referred to may think these gentlemen so deficient in shrewdness and intelligence that their opinions are worthless. But we are detaining them too long from the correspondence : (cory.) Boston, April 23, 1643. Hon. Danret Weasten :— Dean Sia—Tue undersigned, a few of your friends, hive Unexpectedly Meard, this moruing, of your inten- tion to relinquish the Department of State at Washing- ton. They sincerely hope that, in doing £0, it is not your purpose wholly to retire from these public labors, in which you have rendered such essential service to the country. ‘They regret thet while many important ques- tions remain to be adjusted,you should deem it necessary to remove from a position in which you were most erinent- ly useful; aud while they most respectfully thank you for the good you have done, they feel that they may rely on your patriotism, to be ready and willing to do more when a suitable occasion shall offer. Very many consi- derations point to you, Sir, asthe only individu whom the several interests of the North and South can look with equal confidence for protection, and with whom may be safely trusted, fully and freely,jthe adjust ment of preliminaries in the important question of the set- tlement of international trade, based upon free principles and reeiprocity of fit, which is soon to agitate this country and Great Britain, Nothing woull give them greater pleasure than to learn that some commission was contemplated, by which these matters might come under your management and control, either at Washing- tan or elsewhere; and that, though no longer an active member of the present gevernment, you were still en- aged ina field worthy of your talents, with a probabulity of arosult, acceptable not only to your own country, but to Europe.

It was thought that something was accomplished, and certainly something wes accomplished, by the tariff act of lastyear. Yet,ithad hardly passed, re events oc. curred, ting the highest probability that the whole subject weuld be agitated anew in the next Congress.— Are iways tobein this flu state? Are we never to be tolook for any thing, it a succession 2 Ia there no way of bringing the whole coun 11 interests, toan adjustment that may promise some degree ot quiet and of general satisfaction? No doubt the various pursuits of the people of this country have really and truly in themselves a strong mutuality of interest “The and corn producing States must al- ways find the Seense for the ‘surplus of their pro. ducts in the manufacturing and commercial population ef the East ; asthey will always find the price of manufac tured articles, such as they need, kept low, and the quali- ty good. by the productions of Eastern labor. But so rich and abundant isthe grain crop of the country, that, be- yond what may be demanded for the consumptien of Manofacturing and commercial districts, there is still a surplus, for which, or a part of which, a foreign market is desirable. The cotton crop, too, though it finds a mar- valueot which [ think nas never been ated, requires, nevertheless, free ex- por e consun} . who areconcerned in these interests, be brought intoa harmony and concert of action, propertioned to the real harmony and mutuality which subsists between the inte- rests themselves? For my part, | think the experiment worth trying, and should have great hopes of its success, if there Were no fear of opposition from collateralor ex. trinsic causes. My inquiries at the Nerth, and through the centre, and at the South and West, have been exten- sive; and the result has Jed to the conclusion which I have expressed. I would not speak with cenfidence, up- on a matter yet untried, and which I know may encoun- ter a variety of objections ; but I repeat that, in my opi- nion, the experiment is werth a fair trial. We may well make one earnest endeavor, even upon slight encourage. ment, to give permanent support to the industry of the country, and stability to the business and pursuits of life. Asto myself, gentlemen, I have no expectation of bein; concerned, in any manner, in negotiations connect: The Government has eminent ability at its com- mand, both at home and abroad. 1 have no wish to go abroad on public service. If negotiations should be en- tered into, there are reasons for desiring that they should be undertaken at Washington, in which case, accoreing to the usual course, they would be conducted by the Head of the Department of State, under the direction of the President \t. With unfeigned thanks for your manifestation of friendly sentiments, respect and confidence, I remain, gentlemen your Obliged friend, and obd’t serv’t, DANIEL WEBSTER. Tothe Honorable Davin Seans, H. G. Ors, Wa. Parse corr, and the other Gentlemen, [From the Washington Madisonian.)} Commenciat, Treaties.—No subject, of great national importance, nas ted more general attention, or eli cited more solicitude among the intelligent and thrifty clases of our citizens, in s0 short a space of time, that we remember, as thato{the proposed Commercial Trea- ties, which hes been recently sgitated by seme of the great menef ourcountry. The object of such treaties, if we understand it correct. ly, is worthy of the greatest statesmen, not only of Ame- Tica, but of the civilized world. lt, by means of such treaties, the productions of every quarter of the globe should be reciprocally interchanged on the great princi- ples of Fare Taape; or, when, in c servations, (and of course duties would furnish sufficient revenue for the respecti ments,) equivalents to be granted of an counterbalancing nature—if such a consummation «ffected, we repeat, it is altogether worthy of the most comprehensive minds and putriotic hearts in the laid. Sheuld such treaties be formed between the Govern: ment of the United States andthe other governments of the world, andespecially with Great Britain, the Agri- cultural interest of America would be more advanced in pet fewer it might otherwise bein a half century. Land and labor, andthe products of the soil, would in- ‘antly advance in price. For these proposed Commercial ‘reaties, it is stated, would open the ports ot Europe, where excessive duties now exclude them, to all the sur- plus products of our farmers. Nor would they prove antageous tothe Manutacturing interest; for the arrangement embraced in the proposition, respecting all the articles manufactured in our country, by being per- manently established, would, we are assured on the best authority, be highly satisfactory to allthe Manufacturers of the North, as well as to the Planters of the South. As to the fact of eli interests having suftered long aud immensely from temporary, fickle, rarty legislation in respect to Tariffs and Commerce, we think there can be no diversity of opinion. Hence, ifsome advantageous system of interchange with other nations, can be sug- gested, without regard to mere party interests, we Pledge ourselves to advocate it to the utmost of our ability. If ‘other governments, and especially Great Britain, should send hither their best statesmen to negotiste on the subject with the like statesmen on the part of our Government, representing different sections, interests and parties, then the people might reasonably anticipate something far more valuable from such conferences, than is generally realized from the deliberations of Congreesional caucuses, or even ordinary Presidential victories at the poll Tue Great Western, with her 130 passengers, left her berth at the foot of Pike street, at2 P. M. yesterday, in her usual gallant etyle. After reach- ing Castle Garden, she bore up and saluted the North Carolina, lying off the Battery, and then pas- sed on to the Warspite, which she also saluted with a gun and cheers. In closirg the Warepite, by some misapprehension of the orders of Capt. Hos- ken,the Great Westera was notstopped in time, and in consequence, her jib-boom came incontact with the main rigging of the Warspite, but no damage wasdone. As she backed out and steamed away, the band of the Warspite filled the air with sweet mus c, and the national airs of America and Eng- land were mingled together, in reminding those bound to a distant land, of home and the country they were crossing the Atlantic to visit. On Wednesday (24:h inst),the birth day of Queen Victoria, mutual salutes were fired by the Warspite and North Carolina, and inthe dead of the cool night, an unknown band floated around the War- spite, playing the national anthem{of England with such beauty and spirit, that the officers were arres- ted in the midst of their dreams of home, and hur- ried on deck to listen. We understand that Lady Bagot and her family, with the remains of Sir Charles Bagot, are expect- ed daily by the way of Albany from Canada. It was the last request of Sir Charles that his body should be taken back to England in a national ves- sel, and not asteamer. Tue Warspite will proba- ly leave about the middle of the next week. Wetcw’s Derartore ror Cnrna.—General Weich’s Circus Company, numbering over fifty performers and horses, will this morning all go on board the Francis Amy, owned by Messrs. Welch and Mann, and commanded by Captain Giverson. She lies at the foot of Pike street, and is bound hence for Cadiz, Spain. Mr. Welchgoes out inher himself, accompanied by Nathans and his pupils, Mrs. Howard and Mr. Howard, Rogers, and various other performers of his old company. He leaves Mr. Mann behind him, his partner in the business, to take his place. Mr. Welch goes out on his foreign tour, with the full determination, as he seriously assures us, to visit China before his return. It is undoubtedly one of the most curious and remark- able enterprises ever undertaken; and no man is better qualified to undertake it than Mr. Welch. He has already travelled pretty much all over North and South America and Africa, (in the latter country catching giraffes, elephants, lions, and such fish,) and he 1s now going to look over Europe and Asia He is competent to undertake any thing, and has done ‘almost every thing except dodge an earth- quake; and that his partner, Mr. Mann, did at St. Thomas, at the time of the great Guadaloupe earth- quake. Mr. Welch isthe beau ideal of a hero ot romance, and will undoubtedly go down as such to posterity. No man ever left the country with more friends and well-wishers behind him. Graxp Musicat Enterrainment—Messrs. G. Lo- der and J. Maseett give a unique and highly attrac- tive musical entertainment, at the Apollo this eve- ning. A lecture on music will be read by Mr. Lo der, and illustrated by the pupils of the “Vocal In- stitute,” under the management of Messrs. Loder aad Masset. Mrs. E. Loder,Mr, Raymond,and Mr. Marks, the excellent violinist, will contribute their valuable aid. By the way, this musical school con- ducted by Loder and Masseit, is one of the most useful and successful things of the kind ever es- t«blished in this city. The pupils have made ex- traordinary progress, as will be fully evinced this eveoing. The affair willbe a rich treat to all the lovers of scientific melod; Ture Menacerte.—This entertaining exhibition will be open to the pulic this day, tor the benefit of Herr Driesbach, the Emperor of the denizens of the forest, aver be adopted than that § Another Fourier Meeting Last Evening at National Hall. Two or three hundred persons were present.

There are hindrances in the way of asso ciation which I would hint at on the it occasion. Whatare the true conditions to be offered to humanity? Tlook upon parcanay, as 1 do upon the cotilidon of the acora—or like a child lying upon its mother’s breast. It m jy in the growth of @ child some cotilidon to blast its future destiny in which developments ot integri- ty are not conducted onward tothe grave which we al! seek after, and the child will turn out t! that which it realized With Pp shall find that we occupy one of three position the age—with it—or in advance of it.

There is in the human bosom’ that repose which shall unfold iteelf and impress its image on those conditions and correspond with its own internal convictions. The child for instance shows a deep impulsive instinct. Let but ge nius show itself in a child—poetry, painting, socialism, &e.,the prudeut mother looks on the history past, and sees every genius looks on the garret where are his iucu- brations and the artist lingersout his existence.

M. Blanchet, a retired tradesman, has married a lady of middle age, in person somewhat embonpoine, and in temper, just like all widows when they de not have theirown way. We have said this lady was a widow when she first was woo’d and won by the hapless M. Blanchet; but alas! for hisfpeace of mind, it turns out that she was a divorcee, and that herformer husband, M. Bonin, is still alive and in the prime of life. ‘To add to the domestic bliss of M. Blanchet, his cara sposa hasa son by M. Bonin, a youth rejoicing in the name of Victor, full of self- conceit, and over head and ears in love witha very pretty orphan named Juliette, who 1s domesticated in the house of M. Blanchet to the great annoyance of Madame Blanchet, who is opposed to the union of her son with this poor girl, whois herniece. _ Whilst this well assorted family are in the midst of one of their domestic desagrémens, M. Bonin vi- sits M. Blanchet on a matter of business, quite un- conscious that the latter gentleman possesses his lost treasure of a wife, and has had the cares of his inte- resting sonand heir. At an interesting point in the conversation, Madame is introduced, and exhibits some marks of intense feeling at sight of a man who, as she eays, she had concluded to be in his grave for the last ten fees M. Bonin, with the most philo- sophic indifference, overlooks this amiable weak- ness inthe lady, and sets about instructing her se- cond husband as to the best mcde of managing his wife. In thishe succeeds so admirably, that he has the satisfaction of joining the hand of his son Victor to that of the amiable Mademoiselle Juliette, and the curtain falls. ‘ . The acting of M. Mathieu, as Bonin, and M. Oternon, as Blanchet, was deserving of all praise, and called down the repeated applause o¢ the house. Madame Mathieu, as the wife, Mn hae with great judgment and discrimination. he vaudeville was followed by a comic opera, called ‘‘La Perruche, ou le porteurd’eau”—a mere musical trifle, calculated to call out the talents of one performer, Mademeiselle Vay net who jsang tome very charming songs. This lady hasa fine voice, and sings in & good and correct style. She was much applauded, as also M. and Madame Le- court, although the two latter had but little to do. The opera of ‘*L’Ambassadrice,” in which Ma- demoieelie Calvé is to muke her debut, in the part of Henrietta, was announced for this evening. Musicat—Mr. Francis H. Brown.—Much has been said and written about the musical talents of Americans, and many arguments and proofs present: ed to show it is quite impossible for natives of this country to become thorough artists of music, and that nought but “*humbugs” can grow here, but in support of the fact of real musical genius existing among our natives, we must present the above named young gentleman aga specimen. _ Allwho had the pleasure of {isteming tothe beau- Mr. ’Coxon.—Well, really, Mr. ‘Anthon, that is a | tiful composition “A life in the woods,” as sung by new mode of fixing one's bill—decording to thy eatate of Mr. F.

Mr. Anton (aside to Van Cott)—[Something which we did not hear. Van Cott looked wise, but said nothing.) Mr. O'Conon—Here detailed very briefly, and in a very quiet, subdued tone of voice, and certsinly with a most becoming humility, the leading pointe of Mr. Beaéh’s reply. He stated that some dozen ladies had called upon him te assure him that Mr. Beach could not pred be guilty of the charges alleged against him. denied the charges. Mrs. Beach was 41 years of age—hud a pesatier 23, who was now -at the domestic head of thefamily. Mrs. Beach resides with her brother, Mr. Benjamin H.

It isa suit undoubtedly gotten up to injure Mr. Beach in his business as editor and proprietor of the Sun. Mr. O’Conor seemed desirous to prevent the case ing before a Master, and anxious to settle it before the ‘ice Chancellor, with as little noise as possible. The Vice Cuancec.on—What is the amount of alimo- ny, Mr. Anthon, which you ask for 7 Mr. Antnon—Why, Mr. Beach is acknowledged to be worth $150,000. Hie lives in very handsome style, and we ask for appropriate alimony. We name $20 per week asthe least sum your honor can give her, without bringing her down below the station which’ she has heretofore occupied. Vice CHaxceiuon—Well, 1 suppose $6 per week wouldcover all her necessary expenses, I believe they ask but $1.50 per week at the Astor House. Mr. Antnon—Why, if your honor please, we can never think of so smail a sum as $6 per week. To reduce @ lady who has been in the habit of ac! upon an estate of $160,000, down to $6 per week, would be unheard of. Why,your Honor, that is mere mantua maker’s pay. We ask that Mrs. Beach may be allowed to live in the sphere to which she has heen accustemed. And as to counsel- lor’s fees, you will bear in mind that you are dealin with a man of wealth, who is confessedly wort $150,000. And as evidence of his wealth, he has employed one of the ablest counsel to defend and protect him that an be found in the country—and I am very happy that I have the honor to be selected upon the other side. Weask to be placed upon the same {oot- ing. Mr. Beach 1s worth his $150,080, and there can be Ei cons his coufsel will require fees according to s estate. Why, if your honor please, Mr. Bouch’s style of living is that ef a mechonic. Mrs, Beach could live at the Adelphi, or any of the most fashionable hotels down Broadway for lees than $20 per weck. Mr. AntHox.—Iam informed by her brother, that Mr. Beach has been in the habit of living upon $5000 per au- num—and | appeal to your honor’s gallantry to give Mrs. Beach a fair and reasonable support, and one worthy of Mr. Beach’s style of life. Six dollars per week is but $312 per annum- and your honor certainly could never think ofreducing her from $5000 per annum down to $300. The Vick Cuancetton—All Ican do isto allow her reasonable board, anda suitable sum for clothing.
