Tre Inish Repgat AGrtaTion IN AMERICA.— Revo.vTion in Evrors.—The enthusiasm man ifested by our Irish fellow citizens on the subject ot the repeal of the legislative union between Great Britain and their native country, since the arrival of the last steamship from England, al- most beggars description. Of the inflammatory character of the sons of the ‘Green Isle,” we have had, heaven knows, ample enough demen- stration, but the nightly meetings at Washington Hall—the “ Dublin Corn Exchange” on a smail scale in New York—have shed great additional light on the excitable, enthusiastic temperament of our Irish brethren. Every night this week the Hall has been crowded. Upwards of five thousand audi- tors, according to the most moderate calculation have attended on each occasion. The speeches have been as fiery as newly-distilled Ennishowen, and the cheers such as only Hibernian lungs could give. Ex-Governor Seward, Charles O’Conor, John McKeon, the Hon. Mr. Leonard, several Catholic priests, and two or three young and promising law- yers, have been the principal speakers, and if the amount of money contributed affords any fair means of estimating the efficiency of the orators, they have reason to congratulate themselves on the success of their eloquence. Hard-working laborers, who earn a dollara day, have marched up to the treasurer's desk in crowds, and cheerfully contributed their two or three dollars each in aid of the cause. It was originally contemplated to raise the sum of one thou- sand dollars in the city, but the cash has flown in with such unexpected rapidity, that the committee have very properly determined to improve the op- portunity—to keep the steam up, and collect seve- ral thousands of dollars No doubt a great deal of the eloquence expended at Washington Hall, has found its exit from a pru- dent regard, on the part of the oraters—some of them at least—to that scriptural precept—‘ Cast thy bread upon the waters, and thou shalt find it (some) ys hence.” Professor Espy is not the only man who finds the study of the weather a profitable one. But what of that?’ The machinery of agitation de- serves oilas well as that of asteamboat. Does it not? ‘This Irish movement has at last attracted the at- tention of the party newspapers. They are in some trouble about what is best to bedone. That Irish vote is an interestingjbusiness. ‘The ‘ Courier” presents an amusing} spectacle of this perplexity and indecision. It affects great sympathy for poor, op- pressed treland. The “Courier” prays most fervently fora repeal of the union between Great Britain and Ireland. But the “Courier” does not like these pub- lic meetings. It asks the American people to sympa- thize with Ireland, but in a quiet, private way—just as the “Courier” sympathizes with decency and honor. *‘ Unless,” says the Courier, “‘ we are prepared to say that we could and would approve of public meet- ings in England to dissolve our Union, we cannot and should not give our sanction to public meetings in the United Slates, to dissolve the union between England and Ireland.” ‘This is just what we might expect {rom the organ of that paltry cligue who have uniformly reviled and abused the Irish. This is just what should be said by those who have heaped on Irishmen and the [rish character, every species of insulting calumny. This is just what was to be expected from the organ of the clique who have denounced the natives of Ire- land as unworthy of American citizenship; and who, alter every election, have represented the irish voters as guilty of the grossest corruption and vileness. Bat the “ Courier” is about the very last quarter to which any man of intelligence and patriotism would look for an accurate exposition of the duties of an American citizen. What! Are our citizens to be restrained in the public, and open and decided | expression of their opinion, on a question intimate- ly connected with those very principles of truth and liberty on which the foundations of their own land now so happily repose ?. Did we not, in the hour of Greece’s struggles for independence, meet openly to express our sympathy and offer her our active aid ? Did we not contribute our assistance in the eftort to eflect her dismemberment from the Turkish em- pire—from whom we had always received respect- ful regard, and to whom we were indebted for some favors? Did we not openly assemble in the cause of suffering Poland? And yet, now at this day, the editor of the “ Courier” has the face to tell usthat in attending or sanctioning these meet- ings in behalf of Ireland, the people of America for- get the duties of citizenship! Undoubtedly, inter- ference in any forcible way in the contest between Ireland and her oppressors on the part of this coun- try, would be a violation of treaty obligations. But the American citizen violates no right—transgresses no law, in giving free and open expression to his opinion on the question of the justice and expedien- cy of the Irish Union. But the truth is, the “* Cou- rier” is identified with a little cligue of financiers and stock-jobbers, who have their connexions in London, and it dreads the influence of free institu- tions and free opinion. On the merits of this great question, now so great- ly agitated here, we do not enter minutely at pre- sent. That work we reserve for another occasion. In the meantime, however, we must say that the entranee of the ‘‘ Courier” into the field, gives a omewhat new aspect to the business. Prince Ro- bert Tyler goes the whole hog for Ireland, and hence we argued the other day that the chances were increased in Ireland’s favor. But now that Col. Webb, “ of the regular army,” has taken the opposite position to the Prince, the chances are ba- eed with mathematical exactness. The Colonel The Beach Indictment. We are reluctantly compelled, for the sake of truth and justice, to refer again to this affair, which we hope will be the last. Ia the “ Tribune” we find a statement, two-thirds of which are false— and in the “American” a commentary equally false and contemptible. Here they are ‘— 'Vhe suit instituted by Bennett against Beach for a and outrageous libel upon Mrs, Bennett, published in Sun some time since, has, we understand, been discon- tinued. Mr. Beach, in yesterday ’s Sun made a very com- prehensive retraction and a very humble acknowledg- ment—confessing that there was not a shadow of truth in the article, which he says was written by Mr. Bartlett, then in his employ ; and ef which, he says, he regretted the publication atthe first. Mr. Bartlett has made an af- fidavit to the facts that he was told by Mr. Beach to write an article o! that character, that Beach gave him the out lines of it, reat it before its publication, and afterwards expressed his full approval of it. We have been told that besides this retraction, Beach pays Bennett $5000 to have ‘ontinned. The criminal suit on the indict- ment found against Beach forthe same publication is yet to be tried ; but by the agreement Bennett pledges him- seif to do nothing to procure a conviction. re trust the District Attorney needed neither Mr. Bennett’s assistance nor encouragement to induce him to do his whole duty in the matter without fear or favor.—N. ¥. Tribune. So far the Tribune : and as to the arrangement between the two editors, whether the libeller pays the injured par- ty $580 or $5,000, we have not a word to say. It is quite natural that money should, between such persons, be the chief measure of injury, and the most sa of redress ; but the public have a word or two to this matter, and it remains to be seen whether an inc ‘ict. ment by a grand jury can be arrenged on the footing of a mere individual transuction. It is quite time the abominable practice of certain news- papers, to drag females and the relations of private life, be checked by something more formidable than the par tial ignominy of publishing a lie, and the subsequent hu. miliation of avowing it tobe so. ‘To ingenuous minds, this would be the last disgrace ; but then ingenuous minds would never commit the offence.—N. ¥ American. In reply to these remarks, we have enly to say that there has been no withdrawal of the civil suit— no settlement on our part. Our counsel, A. L. Jorvon, Esq., has directions to proceed at once with the process—to place the whole case before a jury— and whatever verdict be returned, whether $5,000 or $10,000, or $15,000, the whole amount, after pay- ing our bare legal expenses, shall be appropriated for the public charities of New York—one half to the Protestant, the other to the Catholic. We would not pollute our fingers with a single red cent of mo- ney by way of reparation for an attack on female reputation that is pure and spotless as it is sacred. We mean to make this case a marked era in the history of the newspaper press, and we shall do it. In reference to the criminal suit, we have nothing todo. We have done our duty, and the responsi- bility now rests with Recorder Tallmadge and the Court of Sessions. We shall, as an individual, call forajust and impartial execution of the laws. Re- corder Tallmadge must, in this affair, take care of his own reputation—look te his own heart—mea- sure his own duty, and remember that the eyes of the community are fastened upon him—and not of this community alone, but of those beyond the nar- row limits of this city. In reference to Beach himself we have a word to say. His “‘recantation,” as it is called, his confes- sion in court, and his confession out of court, we regard with equal contempt. If it be possible to conceive any blacker and meaner degree of wicked- ness than the original libel, it is to be found in the recantation published on the day ef his confession in court. After having spent several months in looking up among my discarded servants and wait- ers, whether he could not find some wretches base enough to swear falsely—after being foiled in his attempt to suborn Baker—after being abandoned by his own wife on numerous charges of crime and wickedness—this man, Beach, and his miserable ad- visers have the bold effrontery to avow to the world that they had to make a thorough search in the pri- vate records of my family before they could believe it moral and respectable. And this is the recanta- tatien which the miserable man dared to think will furaish him with the means of escape. But we perfectly understand all this business—all this skirking and skining—within the precincts of the walls of justice, and round abont among the salt- pork élite or sour-krout aristocracy. The infamous conspiracy in which Beach has been caught did not originate with him. He is only the low-minded, vulgar villain, who had more effrontery but less cunning than the others. The conspiracy to destroy, by falsehood, my character and that of my family, began in 1840. J was no sooner married than cer- tain cligues of the pickled-mackerel aristocracy of New York began to tabricate faslehoods about the birth, parentage, and character of my wife, who, in every point, is equal to any inthis country. The “Courier and Enquirer,” conducted by James W. Webb, and the “Signal,” by Park Benjamin, called upon the proprietors of the Astor House, where we then resided, to turn us out of doors for want of char- acter. Gross and outrageous insinuations were published—and direct and talse charges made—by those two papers, aided by the “Evening Star,” con- ducted by M. M. Noah. Slander in private and slander in public were resorted to. But the proprietors of the Astor House were too manly to heed such insolence. The war went on. Private slander, secret espionage, and all sorts of tricks, were resorted to to put down Bennett—to put down the Herald—and to put down his influence and power. Spies were deputed to watch my house in Chambers street, and if a shutter was opened or closed it was marked and told of as something very mysterious. If went to Saratoga—to Rockaway— orto any other public place—litile knots of the salt pork aristocracy would get together, and circulate every species of slander and falsehood against my whole family. At Rockaway, last year, I caughta young fellow, by the name of Henry Allen Wright, commonly knownas Poke Wright, taking too many liberties of this kind. L called him to account—he de- nied it, ending in a lesson that he will not soon forget. The “‘ New York Aurora,” now the organ of Captain Tyler, and especially the organ of John C. Spencer, commenced its existence and continued for a long time with the most gross and beastly defamation of my wife and Yamily. It was probably this quality, that recommended it to the “guard.” The “ New York Sun” took upthe horrible theme, and under the plandits and encouragement of M. M. Noah in the “Union,” it went farther and faster than any of the other conspirators, until he has been brought neutralizes the Prince and Irelend stands just as she | did betore Prince Robert took up the cudgels in her favor Seriously, however, it is very evident, that this agitation has assumed a most important aspect. ong as it was confined solely to the Irish popula- tion here, it excited little public attention, and was harmless enough. But now that broken down poli- ticians and office hunting speculators of both par- ties have made the discovery that a great deal of capital may be manufactured by affecting sympathy for Ireland, they are at the work with all, possible energy. The result must be, that a great deal of public feeling will be excited in England against the people of this country for taking such an active part in the agitation. From the present state of feeling in Ireland itself, we should not be surprised soon to hear of its bursting out into open insurrection. And if revolution should break out in Ireland, what is to prevent a movement among the radicals in England?—a similar movement in Scotland?—and a general emeute in France, among the republican masses of that excitable nation? The present con- dition of seciety in both these countries is inflam- mable in the highest degree—a single torch may set all the elements in motion—and war with all its So up all fast in his present position The purpose was, from first to last—to destroy us— to destroy our family peace—to destroy our esta- blishment, by every species of falsehood, persecu- tion, untruth, and private siander. A more atro- cious conspiracy never existed in any country against a single individual. Happily we were made of that stern stuff, that could meet—resist and over- whelm the whole confederacy. The day of retri- bution is now come. We are in a stronger—a better—and more invulnerable position than ever— and the knaves shall feel it, before it is all over. Cartan Tyter’s Granp Pircrimace ror 1843.— We learn that the route of the President during his present tour will be as follows:—Left Washington on Vhursday, 8th instant, visit Baltimore, Philadel- phia and New York—down to Boston and Banker Hill by the Stonington railroad—visiting Providence by the way—worship Bunker Hill—ihen back by the railroad to Worcester, through Springfield, Hartford and New Haven to Bridgeport—over to Albany by the Fousatonie Railroad—across to Sara- toga to taste the water, west to Buflalo and Niagara Falls—up Lake Erie to Cleveland—round by Cincin- nati, over the mountains to Virginia, and home horrors—civil war and insurrection, may shake western Europe to its foundations, before the year hall have expired. We live ina strange time—and may expect any ‘of explosions. So prepare.

Whie Srate Nomtnations 1s Massacnuserrs.— The Whig State Convention held at Worcester on the 7th, have nominated George W. Briggs, of Pittsford, for Governor, and John Read, of Yar- mouth, as Lieutenant Governor. We have not heard what else they did or said No Chotce.—In the Massachusetts. , 6th and 7th districts of Larter From Rio Jangino.—By the arrival of the bark Horensia, Capt. Lambert, we have received advices up to the 27th of April. We learn from Mr. Camett, a passenger, that the Prince of Joiaville was to be married oa the first of May te Princess Donna Francesca, sister of the Emperor Don Pedro, 2d. On the 19th of April the Baron Langsdorff, Am- bassador frem the King of the French, hag his formal reception by the Emperor, to ask the hand of the Princess Francesca Carolina for the Prince de Joinville. ‘The Baron said :— Sire—I present myself, in the name of the King, my aur gust sovertign, to eck the band of hor lisperial fighyees the Princess Donna Francesca, your Majesty’s sister, for Monseigneur the Prince de Joinville ‘othing could be more grateful to the heart of the King than a union which will draw mere close the ties of family that already link together the two dynasties, and the ties of friendship that unite the two nations, I venture to nope that your Ma- Jesty’s feelings are the same. Havii on permitted to enter that family sanctuery within which monarchs lay aside the pomp that now surrounds your Majesty, 1 have found there, sire, those private virtues, those tender sweet affections which France admires also in the august house that governs herself. In parting from a brother, whose love has watched over her youth with so much Solicitude, and from a beloved sister whose virtues secure to her universal aftection and respect, the Princess Fran- cesca will take al in the midst of that royal fa1 so closely united and so devoted toeach other. Her piness will only be tranferred to another scene, and will receive, in its reliance on a husband, whose name has already become known throughout the world, guarantees of that permanence to which the charming virtues of her Im nperial highness so eminently entitle her. he Emperor replied : IT consent with all my heart to that alliance which is so pleasing to me, and in which the Brazilians will so cor- dially rejoice. ’My sister, to whom you will now address yourself, will assurodly confirm this my answer; for we are persuaded that she will find in the affection of the royal family of France, a sweet solace for the ets she must needs feel in leaving the country that gave her birth. rupe Baron then addressed the Princess in these words :— Madam—The happiness of Monseigneur the Prince de Joinville would not be complete without your gracious confirmation of the reply which the Emperor, your august brother, has just given me. It is from yourself also that his Royal Highness desires to obtain your hand. More fortunate than most Princes, he has been permitted to see and appreciate for himself those eminent qualities which distinguish your Imperial Highness, Your heart, Madam, will thank him for having desired that it should be so. You will not come as a stranger, Madam, into the bosom of that new family which impatiently awaits you. You will find there that fraternal affection which you know sowell. You will find there the tenderness of a mother who already loves you as her daughter, and who will show you by the most touching examples, what holiness “ lustre private virtue ean add to the most exalted sta- ion.” The Princess then replied as fellow: ps “ Monsieur Minister—I am happy in confirming the an- swer of my august brother. I am persuaded that t! affection of the Royal family of France ‘will soften the r grets that I must feel in leaving my country, and a beloved brother and sister.” Great preparations were making to celebrate the event in the most magnificent style. Immedi- ately after the marriage the Prince was to depart for France with his young bride, in the French fri- gate Le belle Poule. All classes of citizens in Rio manifested great joy at the proposed alliance. The Emperor, Pedro 2d, had despatched a frigate to Naples for the purpose of conveying to Brazil his intended wife, who was daily expected. Admiral Brown was daily expected to blockade Monte Video with his fleet. The Monte Videans were prepared and determined to hold out to the last; skirmishes were daily taking place between the Jand forces, outside the wall. The Monte Video troops had chartered vessels to proceed to Monte Rio for cattle for the army ; but they were prevented from landing by the Buenos Ayres troops, and the supplies cut off. They were preparing to attack Monte Rio. The French citizens of Monte Video had formed themselves into a body under the command of one of Napoleon’s old generals, to act in concert with the Monte Video troops, in the event of an attack. They number about two thousand able bodied men. ‘The U.S. ship Columbia, and schr. Enterprize, arrived at Rio Janeiro Apml 22d, from Monte Vi- ceo—officers and crew all well. Business at Monte Video was at a stand still. Hides were very scarce, caused by the impossibility and their being destroyed by the rebels. U.S ship Erie, Lieut. Manning, and U. S. brig Chipola, Lieut. Gardner, were at Rio Janeiro on the 26th of April. The latter to sail for Mozam- bique in ten days. Street Sweeping Machines, Wesee a trial made with Whitworth’s street ma- chine, noticed in several of the city papers. We have no disposition to speak in disparagement of this ingenious English invention, which is credit” able to the talents of the inventor. Butin its gene” ral and complex plan of structure, it is evidently inferior to the one invented by an American gentle- man, which we noticed a few weeks since, and we understand one is now being built, and will be ready for operation in ashort time, when the pub- lie will be able to judge between their merits. The English machine tried on Tuesday, we were told by the agent, cost in Manchester £180 sterling, or over $800. An experienced mechanic in New York states it will cost $1000 to build a similar ma- chine in the United States. The American machine is exceedingly simple, and yet strong in all its parts, and will not cost more than from $150 to $200 to build it. Consequently, at least four of the American machines can be built for what one of the English machines will cost; hence the difference in the outlay of capital in ma- chinery to clean a whole city, will be immense. The English machine put upon trial in Centre st., &c., on Tuesday, weighs 3,600 |bs., nearly two tons. ‘The American machine will not weigh 1200 lbs In the English machine, the dirt box has to be dropped on the ground beneath the axle of the wheels, &c. by an endless screw ; while in the American machine, the dirt box is transferred in a moment toan empty box, of another cart, backed up to it, or standing alongside. In the English machine, the pressure of the brooms against the giver is only regulated by counter weights, and these brooms themselves revolve against a fixed wooden inclined plane, producing great friction to revolve them, and increasing the draft. In the American machine, the driver of the cart by means of a lever, has as complete and as perfect command of the pressure of the brooms against the ground, as though he held the handle of a broom in his own hands. While the brooms, in turning, produce no friction beyond their mere contact with the ground, the dirt raised by the brooms being de- livered into the dirt box above by a very simple con- trivance, entirely di: erent from the English plan. ‘The English machine now in this city, weighing 3,600 Ibs, and drawn by two strong horses, sweeps to the width of only three feet. The American machine, drawn by two strong horses, will sweep just double as much, or six leet in width. | j ‘They are, inshort, two separate inventions. Mr. Whitworth gets a patent for his machine; so does the American inventor, Dr. Jones, for his They were both invented in the same year, and nearly simultaneously, one in Manchester, and the other in New York. ae i And whatever the present opposition or prejudices against a labor saving machine of this description, itis obliged, sooner or later, to come into use. t the streets can be oftener and better cleaned, and the health and comfort of 300,000 people be better secured, and at an immense savmg of money, it must be adopted. "7 Which is of the most importance, the health of 200 thousand people, with clean streets, or the em- ployment of a few hundred voters, with dirty streets, discomfort, and an unhealihy atmosphere? if politicians must have voters, it would be better to pension one or two hundred on the veople’s mo- ney for that express purpose, and let the streets be thoroughly cleaned in the cheapest and best mode, and the health and comfort ot ail secured. New Financian & —A_ correspondent in Washington whose occasional letters have given hints of coming exents, or hints which seemed to prevent certain contemplated acts, writes to us as follows :— Mr. Spencer has a grand echeme of finance and circulation on foot, to issue ten millions of Treasury notes, all of $50, all redeemable at different banks in the large cities, which are to be made deposite banks. Tie plan is fixed and settled, and it 13 in- tended as a movement against a United States Bank by giving a circulation to the country in the form of their notes. Great importance is attached to it by the cabinet, as a political move, and it will probably be the nucleus on which to build a great political machine embracing discounts and exchanges, &e.— Philadelphia U. 8. Gazette, We believe the scheme is now in preparatien. Tt will consist of $5,000,000 of exchequer bille, from $50 to $500, to circulate all over the country—and to be kept in circulation. Washington all. There was another very large attendance at Washington Hall, last night, forthe fourth time, on the occasion of concerting measures to’ effect the Repeal of the Union between Great Britain and Ireland. Although during the course of the evening the room filled up very well, yet at 8 o’clock, when the meeting was organised, the room was not more than half full. Hon. John M’Keon, at 8 o’clock, stepped on the platform, and said, “ Fellow citizens, I nominate Charles O’Conor, Esq. as your Chairman for this evening.” This was received with loud and repeated cheering, and stamping of feet. Mr. O’Conor took his seat ; but it was nearly 10 minutes before any one rose to speak. At last Mr. B. O’Conor read the minutes of the last meeting. These were received with cheers. A letter was then read from Mr. John Doyle, en- closing $10 for repeal purposes, saying that Peel and Wellington would be made to eat their own words before long, and that, if necessary, there would be found 100,000 men in this State ready to shed their blood in the cause of repeal. This fetter was re- ceived with loud cheers. " Mr. Laneton then rose and said, ‘Now, gentle- men, get your specie ready.” This was received with cheers and laughter. A long list of names with various sums of money were then read over; and the last was given thus:— “* Major Webb, $2 to buy powder with.” This was received with uproarious cheering. Mr. James Beroen then offered a resolution of thanks to that portion of the press which had come out in favor of repeal, particularly naming the Plebeian. rv .Mr. Caries O’Conor rose and said, it was highly necessary to secure the aid of the press of this city in this great work; for public opinion is the of the natives getting cattle in irom the country, | only weapon that can be successfully used against so powerful a government as that of Great Britain It was, therefore, proper to express sincere thanks to that portion of the press which had nobly come out in tavor of the cause of Repeal; and at the same time it was eqally becoming to acknowledge the fidelity with which other papers reported their pro- ceedings, although they were opposed to repeal; and to hope, that by constant attendance on these meet- ings, these latter editors would learn to admire the principles and imitate the example of Repealers. (Loud cheers.) ‘ Mr. O'Connor then read a resolution laudatory of the Plebian, and said “So much for our friends ; now for the honest critics.” He then read another resolution thanking those pete that reported their proceedings. He concluded thus, ‘‘Huzza for the Liberal press of New York!” Tremendous cheer- ing followed this sentiment. GanskvoorT MELVILLE, Esq. then rose and returned thanks for Mr. Slamm, who was too sick to speak, and to assure them that the a of repeal would al ways be nailed to the mast of his paper. Mr. M. went onto say that he had promised to devote the first money that he received, either professionally or otherwise, to the cause of repeal. He theretorenow handed in $10, and he wished to God that it had been $10,000. (Loud cheering.) i A lane was then opened in the crowd in the cen- tre of the room, and a James number of hard working men walked up tothe table and handed in various sums of $1, $2, $3 and $5. _ aie Mr. Moonry then handed in two subscriptions of $1 each, and said that the British people as a nation were ready and desirous to restore to Ireland her ae But, sir, said he, it isthe blocdy aristocrac of England that will never do justice to Ireland. England has 500 members in the House of Com- mons, and Ireland had only 100 members. Was this fair? (Loud cries of “‘no.”) {t was idle from such tyrants to expect justice; therefore Ireland intends to withdraw from such an unnatural union, and to have a domestic Parliament of their own, of 300 members. The Chartists of England sent up petitions signed by 3,500,000 persons, for restoring Treland’s rights, and there were many Englishmen in this country, whom he knew, that would cheer- ny. pour out their heart’s blood for Ireland’s free- om. One or two New York lawyers—just entered on their profession—then addressed the meeting. Their speeches, however, although sufficiently bombastic, did not present any thing worth reporting. Some more money was collected—a good deal of brandy and water drank at the bar—and, after a great many Hibernian loud cheers for O’Connell and Repeal, the meeting dispersed. Summer Retreat—Tue Fort Hamutron House. ‘The beautiful hotel at Fort Hamilton, on the Nar- rows, called the Hamilton House, kept in fine style by Mr. Curtis, is now open and ready to receive ita summer visitors. This house, during the past season, has been very much improved, eularged, and beautified. It is now one of the most beautiful houses for a summer residence in the neighborhood of New York. The air is uncommonly salubrious, being far away from all marshes, swamps, &c. The scenery and pros: pects are unrivalled, and the drives, sails and other excursions, both on water and land, in its neigh- borhood are unrivalled. We learn that a large number of respectable families have already en- gaged apartments for the summer—and an early ap- plication will be necessary to secure the remain- der. Nisto’s Oprra Frangats.—Last night Burton was excessively droll in the new piece of the ‘* Bar- ber at Court.” Miss Horn looked very interesting as the Queen, and has certainly improved. Miss Reynolds gave us another of her sweet English hal- lads. To-night will be repeated the grand opera of the “ Black Domino.” Never was an audience more delighted than on Wednesday, by Mlle. Calvé, the prima donna’s, delicate singing. The opera gains nightly in public favor, every thing being done for the amusement and satisfaction of the public. We hope the present success will be continuous; already numbers of the first families of the city have signi- fied their intention of remaining intown during the French opera, instead of spending their summer a la campagne. This is right. Oh! we must have an opera parmanently amongst us. The Black Do- mino isa ‘‘sign” of the march of music. The gar- den will be crowded every night it is played. City Intelligence. Tue Fountatn in THe Parx.—It is to be hoped that the proper uthorities having charge of the Fountain in the Park will have good sense and taste sufficient, in display. ing it on the day of the reception of the President, to use the single main jet alone, as it conveys, in its force, height, and simplicity, more beauty, and a better compre- hension of the power of this great work, than five thou- sand smaller jets, dividing the force and representing noth- ing but a mist. Give us the single main jet, and let the thousands who will visit the city on that day, thus h some clear idea of the majesty of the Croton water-works which can never be conveyed by a division of its power into the “small sprmklings” usually exhibited. DeaTH BY A KIC om A Horse.—On Tuesday last little boy, named William Nichols, son of Francis W. Ni chols, No. 22 Willett street, while picking flowers ina field near Twenty-sixth street and Lexington Avenue, with his brother, unfortunately went too near a horse which was grazing there, and received a kick in the abdomen which knocked him down. He jumped up and yan out ofthe field falling on the sidewall in groat pain.

[Correspondence of the Herald} Wasnineron, Wednesday Eee 7th June, 1843. ‘The President’s Northern Tour, James G. Bennerr, Esq :— pe Thave just ascertained, officially, that the Presi- dent, with his suze, will leave Washington to mor- row (Thursday) at 11 o'clock, A. M., ulthough it will probably be a later hour before the train starts. There has been great disappointment here among a whole troupe of office-seekers, who had very kindly and politely made their calculations to take the President under their especial patronage en route. When it was announced that the train was exclu- sively for the President and suite, and that no others would be allowed to honor his Excellency with their company, these pawvres diables did look, and feel too, most unutterable things. About seventy- five or an hundred of them have come on froma great distance to Washington, on purpose to travel north with the President. I pity them from my heart. I have taken special notice of afew of them, and if I meet them again at Baltimore, | shall know them, caeeegh Mr. Sectetary Spencer is evidently the master- spirit of the whole movement, and well is he qua- hfied to conduct it. Iam told that the Baltimore- ans are bestirring themselves with their accustomed patriotic spirit and national pride to give the Presi- dent a reception worthy of his station. They have resolved, itseems, to show that they can receive, | escort, and honor, the Chief Magistrate of the Uni- ted States as well as the chief mistress of heels. It is understood that Joha Tyler either remains here at Washington, or coutinues m cog., and that it is the President of the United States who is about to travel North and visit Bunker Hill. It is now expected that the President will tarry over night at Baltiaore, and leave that city at an early hour on Friday morning tor Philadelphia. This Presideatial pageant, as it moves onward toward the north, will something like a maine snow ball—aceumulating and growing larger an larger, the further it rolls. Yours, &ec. Joun Jonis, or New York. The President of the United States is ex- pected to arrive in this city to-day at about half past two o’clock P.M_, arrangements having been made to convey him and his suite in aspecial train, which is te leave Washington to-day about noon. The President will be received at the intersection of Pratt and Cove streets, near the outer railroad de- pot, by the Committee of Reception apesinied for that purpose, and will be conducted by the com- mittee to Barnum’s City Hotel. He will leave for Philadelphia to-morrow morning at nine o’clock, Hae railroad train.—Baltimore American of yes- terday. . Reception or THe PrestpENT aT PutLaDELPrAta.— On the arrival of President Tyler at Puiladelphia this afternoon, he will be escorted frem the Navy Yard, by the military under the command of Gen, Cadwallader, through a number of streets, thence to the United States Hotel, where rooms for his re- ception have been handsomely fitted up.—Phil. paper. {G- The Talladega (Ala.)

It leaves a pleasant taste in the mouth, sweetens the breath, hardens the gums, removes tartar from the teeth, and keeps them from aching and decay, rendering them a pearly white. When such scientific and skilful dentists as Messrs Fisher & Tyler, 33 Westminster street, Providence, and Dr. Castle oi this city, use and recommend it, our com- mendatioa can hardly be required.

Ohio 6's rose 4; Ken- tucky 6’ } ; Illinois 6’s2}; Long Island }; Harlem 4; Mo- hawk } per cent; Canton $, Paterson }: Phenix Bank rose 1 percent. At the new Board the sales were to a fair extent, and prices well sustained. The feeling among Boston capitalists, in relation to tho Illinois loan, is very favorable. With that long reach, for which Bostonians are famous, they perceive the im- mense advantages which Boston with its rail road will deriye from the completion of that work. The assu- rances which the Commissioners received, when they lately passed through that city on their way to London, were very encouraging. ‘The success of the new loan is seemingly beyond doubt, and would be quite so; but the shock given to the public mind abroad, by the fact that Ohio was countenanced in New York, in an attempt to negotiate a loan created in violation of State faith, had al- ready, at the date of our last advices, exerted an evil influ- ence. One ef the greatest objections to the success of the mission of Colonel Rebinson last year, was the alleged factthat public opinion would not sustain the large houses in taking anew loan, however good, from this side of the water, until the delinquent debts were paid. Since then some persons have learned to distingnish be- tweon the sound States and the bad ones; but when New York countenances the Ohio breach of faith, by taking its stock, the distinction is broken down, and circum- stances, not principle, form the only distinction in men’s minds. We have ‘information of great importance as to the financial movements ofthe federal government. It has been matter of much speculation as to the course which the Secretary of the Treasury would pursue in relation to the redemption of the outstanding ‘Treasury notes. The law of March 3, 1843, provides— Sro. 3d. Ifthe Secretary cannot redeem them out of funds in the Treasury, he may do so by an issue of stock ot the United States for th jount thus redeemed, in the same form, for the same time and under the same restric~ tions, limitations and provisions,as are contained in the act, approved April 15, 1842, (for an addition of $5,000,090 to the stock debt, and allowing interest on ‘T'reasu notes past due,) except that no commissions shall be al- lowed or paid for the negotiation of the business ; and ex~ cept, also, that said steck, so to be issued, shall be re deemable at a period not longer than ten years from the issue thereof. Under this law, it is well known that the Secretary notified that the outstanding notes would be redeemed on the 30th June, at the Treasury, in cash. This market was then tried, to ascertain {on what terms a 5 per cent stock of the above description would be taken. Tar was off. red, a premium demanded. But nothing done. I now appears that the Secretary, conceiving the above law will warrent it, has made arrangements with the government banks here, by which they are (o issme, on basis of government security, @ spe of circulating medium of denominations of $50 to $100, leaving a low rate of interest to be receivable for government dues, and for all liabilities of the Banks on deposite. These, wo understand, are in preparation, and will soon appear ‘They beara strong affinity to the British Exchequer Bills. Those bills are bills of credit, issued on authority of Parliament, redeemable in twelve months, and bear interest from I}dto2}1 per day per £10. The interest is computed from the date of the bill up to the day on which it is cither bought or sold. These bills are the meaus by which the government anticipates its revenue. ‘The advances of the bank o the government are made on these bills, and they form the medium of the daily tran- sactions between it and the bank. They were first is- sued in 1696, and have formed an important part of the currency ever since. The emount swells according to the wants of the government. In 1915, the sum outetand- ing reached the enormous amount of £67,000,000, or $335,000,000. For the last fifteen years the amount has ranged from 25 to £31,000,000, and the inte 2
