NEW YOR Vow York, Sunday, June 18, (2 = ee Extra Herald To.Day, An Exrra Heravp will be published this morning early, containing a description of the proceedings of the Bunker Hill celebration—a report of Mr. Webster’s oration, with} engravings of the scenes. Also, the important news by tLe Britannia sieamer, whieh was expected at Boston yesterday. Price two cents. Tue Nexr Paesipency.—Cow. Dick Jounson, or Oty Trovmsen.—We understand taat the friends of Col. Dick Johnson’s nomination for the next Presidency, by the National Convention, to be held in May next, are preparing to organise them- selves all over the country, and to urge upon the Convention and the people the popularity of this old soldier. Amidst the confusion,’ excitement, and jealousy which exist among the other candidates, we should not at all be surprised to see the mantle of the pro- pbet fallon Col. Johnson, in something the same way which it fell on General Harrison in 1840. If Gol. Dick should be nominated, he will be most sa- vagely and furiously supported by the “ young de- mocracie”—to such an extent, indeed, asto leave a sliin chance for Henry Clay. Col. Johnson, it issaid, is coming over the moun- tains to see us during the present summer. Tre Srame amonc Tuk Sartors.—We have al- ways been among the first to sustain the hardy sea- man in obtaining a full equivalent for his labor, but m so doing cannot give countenance or support to the acts of outrage that have been enacted during the past two days by the body of men who have paraded through our streets, assuming to be sailors, demanding an increase of wages. Notwithstanding that ithe police effected a disbanding of their forces ou Friday night they made another rally yesterday morning and boarded the brig Manhattan ready for sea, forced her crew oa shore and moored the ves- sel alongside the wharf. Justices Matsell and {Par- ker immediately sallied to the vicinity where the ricters were engaged, when they dispersed into small squads and stopped further proceedings. The police during the day arrested several of the supposed ringleaders who were lodged in prison and fully committed in default of bail in the sum of $500. Through the assistance of the magistrates and offi- cers, nineteen men whe had been forced on shore by the rioters during Friday, were returned to their respective vessels that proceeded to sea yesterday. The brigs John Adams, Lawrence, aud Rio, the ships Sully and Rochester, and barques Agitator and Huanaco, were supplied with seamen, and departed last evening for their destined ports. The wages demanded was $15 per month, which, in some in- stances, were paid, although the majority of the crew had shipped at $12. The police are entitled to much praise for their exertions, but still the fact was made fully evident of the inefficiency of the present system, as but about a dozen men were detailed for service, and the rioters had so arranged their associates’as to be ap- prized of the appreach of the police, and would thea instantly change their quarters, and disperse to ano- ther point, like a shoal of mackerel from a fish boat. it the police would centre on any particular point on the East river, the rioters would change their Position to the North River, and thus vice versa avoid detection in their outrages. Itis to be hoped that something will be done at once by the Common Council to temporarily relieve the wants of the com- munity from the evils that have so long existed un- der the pres nt police system Larger From Campeacay.—By the arrival of the schooner Grecian, at New Orleans from Sisal, whence she sailed on the 29h ult., we learn that two of the Campeachy armed schooners had arriv- ed there before she left, and informed that no other engagements had taken place between Com. Moore and the Mexicans,but it was believed the latter were preparing to make an attack on the Commodore. A part of the Mexican troops who surrendered and were to be sent to Tampico, had been transported from Telchack to Lerma, and were employed against Campeachy. About 500 of them were re- tained as prisoners, and had been marched into the interior. The Mexican account of the engagement of the 16th ult., between their steamers and the Texan fleet, together with nine Campechan barges differs materially from the report of Com. Moore. There was not « single man killed or injured onthe Mex- ican side. The victory, (although the battle was of five hours duration) was not complete, as the Tex- ans escaped. The writer of the reportsays that he Was an eye witness of the engagement, and can Suarantee the authenticity and cerrectness of what he states. Tue Inruvenza—Varor Batus.—One of the most deciled restoratives, during the prevalence of the preseat epidemic, is the use of the vapor bath. Mrs. Carrol, 25 Courtlandt street, has vapor baths fitted up in the most convenient style. Call and be served—ye that are sick. Deav.—Jolin Slater, the distinguished manutac- turer, dicd at Siaterville, Rhode Island. He was from England originally, and among the earliest of oneers in introducing the manufacture of do- mestic goods in this country. He was also the in- ventor of several important improvements in ma- chinery the [.0, O. F.—At afire in Washington street, Bor. ton, several lodges of Odd Fellows lost nearly all their effects. The Suffolk Lodge had an insurance of $800, covering about half their loss. Riot on THE Braviannots Canat—Great Loss or Lure—Kutep anp Wounpep.— We extract from the Montreal Courier of the 16th, further particu- lers regarding this serious r' _ itmust be painful to record such transactions, at- tented with the loss of life, and much consequent 4; put we shall wot aflect to disguise our sa- tistaction, that the supremacy of that law, which is equally ready to sustain the rights of the masters and the workmen, has been fully vindicated. The riot act was read by Mr. Crawford, and the rv warned to disperse ; it was answered by a vol- y of stones, and a few shots were fired, by one of which one of the Dragoons was badly wounded.— The 74h then fired with blank cartridge, and the e t ot this injudicious measure was as usual ; it gave confidence to the mob,and they advanced body upon the small body of military, firing as they came. The order was immediately given to the Dragoons to fire with ball and charge, at the same time the 74th poured in a volley and ‘advanced with the bayonet. Eight men fell dead, and the wounded lay in all directions. The rioters fled pre- cipitately, and were followed by the Cavalry,which charged through and through them, cutting them down with their swords. To avoid their pursuers, many of the rioters leaped into the river and were swept down the Rapids, and were seen from the Cedars struggling in vain as they were borne irre- sistibly on to destruction. The killed are variously estimated {rom 12 to 20 and the wounded at between 30 and 40, but at_pre- sent it is impossible to form any correer opinion ; tour died at St. Timothe of their wounds yesterday morning: e are informed ina that last winter many of the guns used by the rioters were given up to Mr. W Shanly, Assistant Engineer, and the men promised never lo use (hem agaia for any unlawful purpose Mr. Shanly took charge of them, and, with great pradence, took off the locks from them all. His presence of migd has saved lives, for when the place. he bad them was broken open, on Monday, the guns were carried off, bul, of course, were use- less. Mr. succeeded ineflecting his escape across the river in 4 canoe Dro@arr, Medical Staff, has also received come contyfions, but, we are happy to add, not of # seri- guamature. jee +g Innevenpence or Ruove Istann AcknowLER@rD ¥ Mancus Mokron.—A requisition from Marcue Morton, Governor of Massachusetts, upon Govern- or Fenner, reached this city yesterday, for a man charged with burglary, who had been arrested in his State to await the demand from the authorities of Massachusetts, We saw Gov. Fenner putting es name to the papers, aad from that e1 rcumstance we will venture to assert that the requisition was made in due form.—Prov. Jowr. ‘The President's Pilgrimage to Bunker Hill. Boston, 4 P. M., Friday. It is now raining hard, and has been raining ever since 10 o'clock this morning. The President reached here and was safely ensconced at the Tre- mont House, in superb quarters about an hour ago ; he is pretty well worn down, and is quite sick. Mrs. Robert Tyler is very sick and has been obliged to have several leeches on her throat to-day for a vio- lent attack of influenza Mrs. Wicklifle is sick, and so is that very charming young lady, Miss Eli- zabeth Wickliffe. In fact, one half the President’s suite are down sick with the influenza. I closed my letter last night just as the President sat down to dinner ; and a most miserable dinner it was ; served up in a small dingy looking contempti- ble room, in a back room of the third story. The accommodations were se miserable that the Secre- | tary of War left the room in a huff, saying he could | get nothing to eat. As soon as the cloth was re- | moved, the Mayor of Providence rose and said, ‘I | give you the health of our distinguished guest, the President of the United States.” Three faintcheers were given, as a matter of course, without any en- thusiasm, and about aix men clapped their hands.— The President was evidently hurt at this, and sim- ply rose and said, ‘‘ Mr. Mayor and Gentlemen, I give you the State of Rhode Island and Providence Plantations, independent in the first, independent in the last, sovereign and independent to the end.” This was received with cheers. The whole party then rose immediately and went off to Governor Fenner’s. Here ke staid a little while, took some refreshments ond went off to the Mayor's. Here there were more refreshments ; but the great fea- ture was the immense number of very, very lovely women that were present ; if they were not picked for the purpose, then Providence contains more beautiful women than any other place, no larger, in the country. The President did not kiss these la- dies en masse, as the night before. After this he went home to bed, at the Franklin house. This morning he was again up eeay, and took a survey of the city of Previdence. He then sat down to a tolerable breakfast ; but as most of the ‘party were sick, it went off tame- At eight o’cluck, the President and Cabinet went off in car- riages down to the depot; there was no enthusiasm at his departure. On reaching the depot, the most beautiful sight was the splendid steamer Massachu- setts, coming into the wharf with that most superb company the New York Light Guard, Capt. Steson, on board, and the whole of the New England dele- gation, about 250. Here I recognized, Hon. Moses H. Grinnell, Simeon Draper, Esq., James R. Whi- ting, Esq., Col. James Watson Webb, Prescott Hail, Esq., and many others at the Railroad Depot, at Providence. The contusion and want of accom- modations were horrible in the extreme; no one seemed to know what they were about; no agent, clerk, conductor, or any one connected with the company seemed to know anything. They could not tell where the President was going nor in what train; thy sent off all the loafers in the best cars, mismanaged every thing so as to separate part of the President’s suite from him, placed the whole of the highly respectable delegation from New York in the most shattered cars, that were ready to fall to pieces every minute ; loafers and ladies were bun- dled, niggers and white men were thrown into the most unpleasant juxta-position, and to add injury to insult, the most superb company of citizen soldiers in the United States (excepy six) that isthe New York Light Guard, were placed upon a long truck stuck on wheels covered with raw pine board seats exposed the whole distance to the pitiless pelting of the rain, until they hadn’t a dry thread on them when they reached Boston. The treatment ot this company and the New York delegation was shame ful in the extreme ; and the company jought to dis- \ miss all their men forthwith for their remissness. On reaching Boston, the New York Light Guard, went down to the Tiger Room of the Boston Light | Infantry, where a splendid collation was prepared for them. At the Boston Railroad Depot there was | scarcely a carriage to be got for love or money ; no directors, no agents to see to anything, that I could see; baggage thrown into the most frightlul confu- sion ; delicate ladies with Se ea fight their way through the crowd of loafers, pickpockets and rowdies of ail kinds, and every one was wet through betore they could get to their lodgings. THE ARRIVAL OF THE PRESIDENT IN | BOSTON. | This was a curious affair; the Roxbury troops, anda committee were ready to receive him at Rox- | bury; and take him to see Dorchester Heights, &c. | But Gov. Morton contrary to all the rules of milita- | ry etiquette, and evincing either a despicable mean- | | { ness, or a contemptible weakness, ordered the Bos- ton soldiers this morning across the Boston line to Roxbury, and there to take the President, as it were by force, from the Roxbury people. ‘This of course, | knocked the Roxbury arrangements into a cocked | hat; and the Boston military consisting of the Light Infantry Regiment, under the command _of Col Bigelow, a splendid looking man and a first rate soldier, took the Presidenttothe Boston line at the neck, where he was received by the Mayor, and a cavalcade of citizensin 6 carriages. The Mavor then addressed him briefly, welcoming him to Bostoa as the President of the United States,and | the President replied. This was really a scene. The Mayor, who hates the president as Sa- tan hates holy water, risking his person in a storm like this, standing up solitary and alone, in an open bareuche, addressing a congratulation to him:— ‘Tur Mayon or Boston—Sin—It becomes tmy privilege | to welcome the President of the United States to the cily ; of Bostov. The occasion which has induced your pre sence is one of deep and thrilling interest to all our citi- zens, and one upon which itseeme fitting that all depart- ments/of the happy government under which we live, should be represented, and therefore reet you. Your presence in our city onthe morrow, will, without doubt, afford to you an opportunity of witnessing a menifestation of the deep feelings of patriotism which inspire the inha- bitants ot this part of our common ceuntry; and we re- joice that such an opportunity will be presented to you.- ‘You will see on the morrow no heartless, formal parade of persons called out by their official relations to take part in a mere ceremony; but you will behold a great mass of true Americans, coming up voluntarily to give utterance to their feelings of veneration for the memory of those, to whom we are indebted for the institutions un- der which we live, and which, if maintained in their pu- rity, must secure to our people happiness and prosperity for ages. Sir—Your present visit sftords to the citizens of Boston the first opportunity which they have had of stating to you how truly they sympathised with you in the loss which you and the country sustained in the un- anticipated death of the venerated Harrison, with whose ame your own wasso intimately associated. That event served as a renewed evidence of the propriety of the con- | viction, which is indelibly impressed upon the mind of every true patriot, how necessary it is in the uncertainty of human life to take care that he, who is selected for the second office in the gilt of our people, should be one, who by his high sense ‘of honor, his undoubted patriotism ond his enlarged views should be fitted at a moment’s warn- sume the duties of the first. 1d be no flattery for meto say to you, that at the last election this needed prudence was evinced; for you feel itto have been. I have to inform you that by the express order of the Governor of this commonwealth a military escort awaits your readiness to proceed. Accommodations suitable for the President of the United States and his suite have been provided for you by the corporation of our city and it will be my pleasure to con- duct you to them. The President who had a military officer in the carriage with him, stood up, holding an umbrella over his head, replied. Nobody ten feet off could heara word ; and in trying to report his epeech, I got wet to the skin, and then couldn’t succeed. After a delay of ten minutes the procession moved onin the following order:— ORDER OF PROCESSION. Military escort, comprising the Ist regi Ist division M. V. M. with the co attached, under command of Col. Aid, Chief Maraba ‘ Mayor of the City. President of the United States. 1 ‘Suite of the President. Committee of Arrangements. Four Marshals.

District Attorney. Marshal of the District and Clerks of the United States urte. Other Civil officers of the United States. Foreign Consuls. Officers of the Army. Officers of the Navy. Officers of the Militia in uniform, on horseback. Four Marshals. The procession moved from the Neck up Wash- ington street to Boyleston street, then entered the Common atthe Lower Mall, crossed the Common, on which were drawn up several thousand beutiful Jitde schoo! children, males and females, who were kept standing for hours in their best clothes on Bos- ton Common, in a pouring rain, until every one was drenched to the skin, to the disgrace of those who had the management of that part of the,business; and probably many of them ,will lose their lives in consequence. aris The President tha: baseed out of the Common down Winter el to Washington street, then round the old State House, now the Post Office, up Court to Tremont, and alighted at the Tremont House, Here, he.was received by the ladependent Cedets, Gaptaln Winchester, as a body guard.

And as they rode home their friends in the houses placed their fingers on their noses, and observed ‘ Rather a cool reception, eh ?” 3 Of course, as a matter of curiosity, all the win- dows along the line of march were crowded with beautiful women, such as Boston only can produce ; but there was no enthusiasm, no cheering worth mentinalng, and not a hendierchief waved. : , On reaching his rooms at the.

Yours, &c., Joun Jonzs or New York. U Correspondence of the Herald.) Sreampoat Massacuvse1ts, i Friday, 1 o'clock, A. M. James G. Bennetr, Esq. :— Here I am, sir, in the ‘ Captain’s office”—in the sanctum sanctorum of one of the most magnificent floating palaces that ever skimmed the surface of our noble rivers. Every body has retired to bed, the last echoes of the inspiriting music of the band have long since died away, and no sound save the ceaseless rush of the paddle-wheels, breaks the so- lemn stiliness of the night. It is the very hour for a poetjto be up and stirring. Were the author of “* Ahasuerus” here, he might reap capital enough for at least fifty stanzas. The placid moon, looking down ‘so amiably upon us, and making so many islands of light in this ocean of darkness—the mys- terious voices of the waters—the starry gospel of the skies—the thronging associations of the hour, which crowd the chambersof the spirit with images of disturbing grandeur—all awaken, even in the dull bosom of Joun Jongs, “ the younger,” senti- ments, which vainly struggle for appropriate utter- ance. Well. then, there is no help for it. We are not the author ot ‘‘ Ahasuerus.” We are gilted only with the common-place talent of reciting in humble prose, the events which pass before one not alto- gether unobservant. Yes, ‘“‘John Jones, the younger,” is a reporter—not a poet—more’s the pity. But two Miltons would be an exuberance of pieesing, for which even our age of intellectual light is not quite prepared. It would, of a verity, be too much of a good thing. Let us then humbly take the gilts the gods provide, and if John Jones, the younger, can’t give you poetry, why then take his prose. The Massachusetts left her wharf at half-past six o’clock, P. M., with the “Sons of New England” — the Light Guard of the city of New York—and a large concourse of Bunker Hill pilgrims on board. She left her moorings amid the loud and prolonged cheers of the thousands of spectators, and if ever any vessel started en her voyage with friendly aspi- ‘ations, this noble steamer did. Never had naval commander, $as he lettthe shore, better reason than Captain Joe to exclaim like {Prospero, in his sweet- est tones, ‘‘your breath has filled my sails,” as his noble vesse/ started from the pier. How can John Jones pe (oavesecre es the scenery of that noble river? Surely no one but a a could adequately describe that ever-varying andscape The green pasture-fields—the springing corn—the blooming orchards—the whitened cot- tages, glistening through the trees, in the radiance of the setting sun, and the blue emoke of their chimnies curling so gently upward in the evening sky—the calm, shining waters of the broad river, all made up a_ picture that fixed itself in the soul for ever. And not altogether insensible to the beauty of that scene were the passengers en board. There } were few indeed, who did not gaze deligttedly qe i had it before the sun bade his farewell to a world gladdened with his rays, and wearied steamboat assengers hurried below at the welcome sound oi the supper-bell. ; ith The supper was unexceptionable—could it, in- deed, be possible to find fault with any thing under the superintendance of Captain Joe Comstock? Alter supper had been disposed of, a number of the choicest spirits on board assembled in one of the state-rooms which had been appropriated to Captain Vincent and his brother officers. After the usual pa- triotic toasts had beendrank, | Caprain McLean [Bat ina very humorous manner, the health of Captain Comstock. Drank with great enthusiasm. Carrain Comstock returned thanks and prone the “health of Captain McLean,” which was drank with nr i : The “ health of Captain Vincenr and the Light Guards” was the next toast; and we expressed a wish that it should be drank with all the honors, which was done Rechccinaly. The health of Mosks H. Grinngtn, Esq., was then proposed, and was drank with enthusiastic applause. ‘¢ The New York Herald” was the next toast. Dr. J. A. Houston returned thanks in a short speech, which elicited enthusiastic applause. He proposed “ the memory of the patriots who fell on Bunker Hill.” “The Reporters of the New Yoik press,” was afterwards drank. 4 Mr. Rosenr Surron returned thanks in appro- priate terms. Afterall the company had retired, and only the comfortable snores of a few of the ‘ Light Guard” were audible, a select party assembled on the upper deck, todrink in the quiet radiance of the moon hight, and exchange their thoughts and feelings The porty consisted of Colonel Webb, Prescott Hall, Champlaio Minturn,and the Rev. Dr. Choules The following is a sample of their midnight con- verse :— P Corone, Winu—Yeer, t heartily agree with you, Doctor—d—n the peany press. i Prescorr Hatr—Wouldn’t it be a nice a if wecould annihilate it? And, why can’t we? I'm ready to do it any time. \ Rev. Dr. Caov.es.—Why the pure dictates of christianity call on us to put down this infamous and scurrilous system of espionage, which spares not even the sacred ministers of our holy religion. Cor. Wens.—ltight, Doctor. I’m glad tosee your sacred spunk culminate tothe right point. We must kill off these —. (Here the gallant Colonel ut- tered a word which we cannot write, and stamped very vehemently on the floor with his erutch, for which he had about as much need as ourselves— John Jones, the younger, thank Heaven, was sound in wind and limb.) But we cannot report any more of this conversation. The violeace—the venom— the pitiable folly—let it pass ; and it should be buri- ed in oblivion. And so let it be. : We are jus phen d Providence. Itisa love- yy morning, and gives cheering promise of a goodly day to morrow. Of its ae you will in due time be informed by your devoted, Joun Jonzs, Tux Younger.

(Correspondence of the Herald.) - jAupany, June 16, 1843. ‘The President's Visit— Doubts Whether he will Visit the Capital—Entreaties of the Guard—The Acute- ness of the Trojans—Diffculties of Raising an Ex citement, §c. &c. Eprror oy tue New York Herao— The anticipated visit of President Tyler to this section of the country produces an unusual degree of anxiety as to the manner of his reception, and as to the persons who are to compose his “ body guard.” Here, with us, you know, every body is somewhat of a politician, and necessarily a sort of party man. And itistherefore a matter of the more curiosity to ascertain whe the individuals are who will undertake to get up procession to receive John Tyler. When Mr. Van Buren arrived here, while President, all distinctions of party were thrown aside, and his political enemies contributed as much towards the reception of the President of the United States, as did his warmest friends. He was received as the chiel executive officer ot the pease nd all differences of whig or democrat, were. on that occa- sion, blended into the patriot. But, in the case of John Tyler, I fear that even the propat respect due the man willscarcely be regarded. As he has aban- doned the party which elevated him to his present giddy height; and asthe democrats deme any as- sociation with a traitor, it is questionable whether the common courtesies of the ci'y will be extended tohim. He is expected to visit Albany in about tenor twelve days, but neither the corperation nor any of our citizens have made any movement on tne subject of his reception. ‘Whose duty is it to move in the matter? Un- doubtedly the corporation of the city should make the necessary appropriations and arrangements for his reception. But as that body, which is decided- whig. have refused to extend the hospitalities of the city, it is questionable whether any one else will undertake it. The locos, asa partv, cannot consis- tently take a prominent lead in the reception and entertainment. Then it will be left for such vermin as Croswell, Wasson, Maher, Gallup, Seymour, and Perry, Tyler office holders, to get upa_ parade and reception Well, who'll so demean bimself as to gratify these es paupers, and assist them to ho- nor John Tyler? Who will volunteer to place him- self in an attitude of burlesque, merely to gratify the above named _everlastin: office holders? Not an honorable or high-minded whig will be found among the thousands in the city to exert his influence at the request of such men. Will the democrats, the Van Buren or Calhoun men, undertake to raise an excitement for John Tyler, at the request of afew unpopular, sycophantic, despicable, political turn- coats? Never. No, Iscarcely believe that a “guard” can be enlisted who will consent to exhibit them- selvesin a public manner, to their certain disgrace. An appeal will be made to our citizens, in the co- lumns_of the Argasi(the only Tyler paper in this part of the State) to throw aside all political and personal considerations, and to unite in honoring John Tyler, asa President of the United States.— Croswell’s entreaties will be lamentably shadowed forth in his usual persuasive soft-soap style, calling upon our citizens, and imploring them, for their own credit, and for the honor of our hospitable city, to give the President a reception worthy of his station. The small band of recreants who are drawing thou- sands of dollars from the treasury by means of Ty- ler, would be extremely gratified to get out the mil- itary, the firemen, the organised societies in proces- sion, in order to exhibit to John Tyler their wonder. ful popularity here, and to show him how much he is admired by the citizens of Albany. The Trojans are managing things quite differently. They have invited the President to come to thei city, and the speculating characteristic of that people, will not allow such ah opportunity to escape where- by an excitement can be so easily got up. The ap- pearance of Capt. Tyler there, will bring thousands of distant people into the hotels and Lai ga con porecnily a large amount of money,which being dis- ue uted will gladden the heart of many a shop eeper. Under the existing state of things, then, I should not be much disappointed if the Captain passed through Troy on his way to Sara'oga and Buffalo, and not visit Albany at all. : I perceive, by the Herald, that the pate was all outward formality in New York. ‘any thou- sands of course crowded the streets to see John Ty- ler, as a mere matter of curiosity; as they would to see the King of the Sandwich Islands, or the Mogul of Tartary; but there does not appear to have been any real fdemonstration cf heartfelt enthusiasm, such as wasexhibited when Jackson orf Lafayette were greeted by the populace. Drinking Jamaica punch in profusion, in front of Gill’s,must have been a novel exhibition of the President’s temperance principles. : In truth, should he visit our city ia_ the course of hispilgrimage, there is no possibility of getting up a decent procession, either civil or military. ’Tis true, Maher might marsha! the Irish societies, but I doubt very much whether any one else could be in- duced to mingle. And as for the military, I do not believe an officer can be fount in the city who would undertake to officiate as marshal. I know, that neither Major General Cooper, nor Major Ge- neral Townsend, nor Brigadi: r General Groesbeck, nor Colonels Relyea, Sharts, or Frisbey, would either of them mount a charger, and run the risk of being left without a detachment of escort to com- mand. 5 Thave just learnt that a call fora meeting hasbeen made by some fifty of our citizens, of both political parties, to be heldthis evening. About half adozen of their names have some weight, the remainder are mere scurvy politicians. The reception and enter- tainment in New York,have led some of our citizens tostep forward, and make an attempt to tender the hospital of our city, and more especially since our corporation fathers have refused to interfere in the matter.

On Saturday last, my soul being literally “disqui- eted within me,” eyes and head aching, &c. &c, and in truth, having all the comfortable premonito- ry symptoms of anattack of the prevalent and in- teresting influenza, I bethougit myself where could I flee for a day or two, to breathe once more the blessed air of heaven,as Jonathan Strop saya, “‘like a streak of Ur aoc Long Branch came over me, and so, roiling my ‘West Point luggage,” in a” piece of paper, I started. At 12 o’clock I wason board the good steamer ‘‘Oairis,”,;with my too solid flesh absolutely in a melting state—thermometer somewhere this side of 100—not a breath of air— and in trath. as miserable alcondition as any Christian could desire. I besought my frievd, Capt. Allaire, almost with tears in my eyes, if ever he had hope of mercy, to show me some lower hold on board his boat where I could breathe.— Like aregular Samaritan, he escorted me to private cabin, and there, with “ripe strawberries, smothered in cream,” and buoyed up with the hope of better things to come, I became quite com- fortable. ‘ Atl2 M. precisely, we started. Where is the pen that cantell my exquisite delight when sweep- ing ontinto our noble bay? I felt the fresh ocean breeses playing with its cool fingers around my heat ed head. The air was 1edolent of sweets—and a prayer, not loud, but deep, ascended from my heart to Him who daily showers on our heads unnumber- ed blessings. Every breath seemed to give me new life, and by the time we reached the “Narrows,” i felt myself fit for “treason, stratagem, and spoil,’?— On board the steamer [{ met a pretty blackeyed wi- dow, with whom | had some passages of arms, and sundry agreeable confabulations—but like every thing else onthis earth, the pleasure was but mo- mentary, as a few hours began, ripened and finished our acquaintance. However, + Aud will prey for herfaight ud wi ray for hei Tihiwrenues te Behold, the influence of the sea air oozes out in poetry. Bidding adieu to the widow and the “Orus,” seated myself in a Jersey wagon at the town of Red Bank, and_in a short time brought up at my old friend’s, Capt. Green’s, of the Bath Buildings, Long Branch. The house was not, technically speaking, open, but the captain’s heart and arms were so. met, as] ever have, a most cordial welcome From Saturday unti! Tuesday, I lived in “clover” —the treasures of the land and the deep, were lavish- ed upon me. Sea bass, five minutes trem their na- tive element—fresh butter, manufactured by one who would honor Orange county, and last, but not least, woodcock broiled to a fraction, were among the edi- bles I luxuriated upon. | wish you, my dear sir, to be very silent about the woodcock, as we were a little before time with regard to them. Witha heavy heart, I was compelled to leave Long Branch, and my only pleasure now is in the remembrance of the past, and the hope of a speedy return. Permit me, as an act of charity, to recommend to all who wish alittle comfort and pleasure, to take some pleasant morning, the good steamer Osiris,stop at the ‘Ocean louse,” from thence with stage to Long Branch ; enquire for the ** Bath Buildings,” and if my friend Captain Green does not make them thank their good luck in quartering with him, I will eat my head. Tt ever has seemed very odd to me, that Long Branch, being so near New York, should yet be a “terra incognita” to almost all the Gothamites, on the principle, I sw that “a prophet is not with- out honor, save in his own country ;” there cannot be any equable comparison between this place and Rockaway. One ig all green sward, the other all white sand. Al! Thope is, that some unbeliever will take my word and make the experiment of a visit, and oe must he be to please if he does not return satisfied.

Description of Blackwell's Island—Ie Picturesque- ness — Originality of its Population — Their Amusements — Virtues — Principles — Politics — 2 Trade—Fashions, and Religion. 1k :— Some have written of old, ‘ Letters and Sketch- es from under a Bridge ;” more recently another Asmodeusfrom a “House Top ;” and I, finally, will beg leave to address you from the “ Guard house or observatory of a Mad-heuse.” Thus much for the introdaction. You will ask me whether I am in a state of mind similar to the other inmates of this abode of misery and wretchedness. I can confidently assert that [ am not, unless the atmosphere I breathe is calcula- ted to make me so. How | came here is yet an enigma to mysel{—a mystery which I can explain no better than by a momentary state of excitement or oblivion I must have fallen into, caused by a sad disappointment in an affair of the heart, and some other little troubles, which, no doubt to alleviate, I called upon that most treacherous and deceittul of villains, Bacchus, who administered perhaps too freely of his poisonous drugs. The fact ie, however, that I was (and I may with propriety use the ex- pression in its full extent and meaning) fairly kid- napped by the police, and, without my being asked who I was, or where from, locked up in the Tombs, that most disgusting of all earthly holes, and next sent to this Asylum, where, thanks tothe kind treat- ment of the doctor, I soon found myself restored to a perfect state of salubrity, both in body and in mind, This police system of hidnaretngt people without enquiring into the particulars of their situation, is getting to be practiced to “‘too great an extent in this community,” and does not look any better, in ny opinion, than the incarcerating by *‘ Lettres de cachet”” in the days of the Louises of France. I have oftentimes wondered, since I came here, that the vi- piste and all-scrutinizing eye of the New York ‘ress has not to this day ferreted out this fact, and made, in regard to it, such observations as it natu- rally weld Jead them, and have such proceedings stopped. x As far as the sending of people who appear deati- tute and friendless to an asylum of this kind, or any charitable institution where they can be properly taken care of goes, it is well and good, as poverty, they say, is no disgrace. (Though entrenous, very uncomfortable, above all to those who never knew what it was before, as the writer.) But to commit a well-meaning, unoffending man, because he is in distress, to the Blackwell’s Island penitentiary, to herd with thieves,vagabonds and loaters of all Kinds and cast, is an outrage to society, and calls loud'y for an immediate reform, for the evils arising from such a contamination are too evident, and fell so strongly under my observation, that it 1s my princi- pal reason for addressing you. at _ Being allowed by the doctor the privilege ot walk- ing throughout the whole island, I often stroll down to the prison and make it a business to enquire of every prisoner the nature of his offence, and I must acknowledge, for the shame of some of them,that I found their confessions correct enough. Several thieves amongst them with whom I remonstrated about their want of shame, candidly replied, “ We are said by some people to be bad enough as thieves, without being liars.” If that is not candor in per- versity, Ido not know where to look for it. I fre- quently ask them, “ Will you steal again when you get liberated?” “ Lo be sure,” is the reply, ‘‘and the first man that crosses my way with money about him is sure to hear from me,” and the like of such bare-faced attestations, which go to prove that those men are most unprincipled rascals, and do net mean to alter and mend their course of conduct, but are waiting with anxiety and impatience, the expira- tion of their sentence of confinement, to lead the same lawless life. Alters these avowed thieves, in my nomenclature, I classify the bullies, peace-breakers, rowdies, and huge-paws of all kinds, who, after all,may be honest in their dealings, and eVen shudder at the thonghie of soiling their character with a theft of any kind. Come next on my list the poor, miserable, house- less devils, as you call them, who, through want of a shilling to pay for their lodging, are picked up at night in the streets, either sober or in a partial state of intoxication, but who can produce, however, a good character for honesty. Actually | present to your sight a class of very re- spectable, well-intentioned men, honest mechanics or laborers, very willing to work at anything for an honest living, but who, owing to the bad state of the Umes, cannot get anything to do, and consequent! to save themselves from starvation, go (as they call it) and “‘ give themselves up.” What crime under heaven can they charge those men with? None but poverty! And because they think it better to ask assistance from the Corporation than to steal, beg or starve, should they, I ask anybody, be made to herd and mix with evil-doers of all discriptions, without some distinction being made in their favor? Shame upon these who have it in their power to remedy this great evil, and who are either (oo indo- leut or too indiflerent to attend to itat once! We have in this asylum some prisoners as ser- vants; a few of themare men of the last class I de- signated, and whose nice feelings of honesty and delicacy are such as I would like every ene who wears the garb of a gentleman in our days to pos- sess. Those menare not only very useful here; but they could not be dispensed with, there being only one head-keeper for upwards of two hundred lunatics,who has all his time taken up,earlyand late, and who is but very poorly remunerated for the arduousand hard dut; Mevclting uponhim. To re- turn to our principal subject, I would recommend not only a distinction in dress, as wellas in the treatment, from the thieves and old offeaders; and, furthermore, have such men as are compelled by necessity to * give themselves up,”’ as kind of over- seers overthe rabble, and assist the keepers when necessary, and enjoy such privileges and marks of confidence from the attiocts, as would make them respected from the common thieves and of- fenders; else, be sure, those men, or part of them at least, will leave this place as bad subjects, and cor- rupted in their morals, as those to whom they are assimilated. In regard to the women prisoners, they all are abandoned characters, such as grace the “‘ Five Points” and the “ Hook.” No distinction whatever can be made amongst them, for they all belong to an class of beings that society altogether repu- ates. Furthermore, I have heard of several cases of men being ina sickly state, and altogether desti- tute, who went to the Police office, and made appli- cation to oe sent to a hospital or poor-house, such as Bellevue, and the next thing that happened to them was to be shoved into ‘* Black Maria,” (a ve- hicle forthe conveyance of convicts,) and sent up to this Island as prisoners. I am one of those vic- tims. About three months ago, after spending six weeks in this asylum, (the first time I was kidnap- ped,) T was released by the doctor at my unceasing requests, and when backfin New York four or five days, anticipating the renewal of the same vexa- tions that brought me here first, I applied to the po- lice to be sent back'to this asylum, being at the time in @ very precarious state of health, and not being able to get any money from even those indebted to me. Well, sir, instead of complying with my re- quest, I was unknowingly committed for two months to the jail of this island, as [ found it on my arrival; but, fortunately for me, I met with Doctors Whiting and McClelland, who claimed me as one ol their patients, and ordered me back to this asylum. Had itnot been for the kindness of these gentlemen, who were well acquainted with the nature of the dilemma I amin, and my momentary difficulties, I should have been made the unbappiest man on earth; and I leave you to guess (Ah! no matter what risk, or whatever the consequences might have. been to me,) what should have been my_course of conduct towards the author of this shameful imposi- tion when I should have been restored to liberty. Were I not awkwardly situated for the present towards friends and relations in N. York,who are of the most respectable standing, I would even now go to the trouble and expense of having this affair thoroughly investigated for the benefit of others. Thongh | was destitute at the the time, moze on ace count of trouble on my mind and sickness however than by any thing else, they could not commit me on the “vagrant act,” asI have the means of earn- ing a livelihood. T have been a merchant and 1 can certainly be a clerk, book keeper, merchandise broker or lawyer, for I can speak and write French, Eaglish and Spanish, and moreover | protessto be, since my travels abroad, a temperate young man, that is to say, that I care nothing for drinking. I can do it andlet italone if so inclined. I mean, how- would recommend to the proper authorities to have him either taken up and sately kept as a confirmed lunatic, or hung up by the neck as a dangerous or mischievous impostor. 1am at liberty to leave this institution in a few weeks, but dread doing so until my friends are wi!- ling to give me some employment. J have every thing I want, nice and comfortable, not excep- ting as many books as I can read. When they fail me I go out walking, claming or fishing. ‘Trusting you will excuse the liberty I take of ad- dressing you, what I certainly should not have pre- sumed upon doing had not known how willing and ready you are at all times to put down abuses of all kinds, and begging further your indulgence for keeping the incognito within the initials of my names, ‘ Believe me, sir, with the assurance of my highest consideration. v Your most obedient servant, P.I.

Had | taken this step before, { might have spared myself and my friends heavy troubles and mortifi- cations, Murper or Mr. Warpen Lixcorn.—Yesterday afternoon, the State Prison, at Charlestown was the theatre of a most sudden and dreadful murder. A little after fiae o’clock, Mr. Lincoln, the warden, in company with Mr. Moses Jaquith, of this cit , Went into the shoemaker’s shop for the purpose of seeing a prisoner named Thorn on some private business, but just as Mr. Lincoln was about to speak to Thorn Abner Rogers, another prisoner, who stood a little behind Mr. L., stepped Ds and plunged a shoe-kmfe into his back. Mr. L. then turned to face the as- sassin, who followed up the assault by stabbing him inthe neck. The blow severed the carotid artery, and Mr. L. died almost instantly, without uttering a word Before he received the mortal wound, he had raised his sword cane to Rogers, who, after striking the time, dropped his knife and seized the cane, Several of the convicts spontaneously sprang to Mr. L's assistance, and wrested the cane from Rogers, whom they seized and secured, but not until the sword-cane had been broken in the seuftle. - ‘ Netwithstanding the sudden and astounding na- ture of the tragedy, no contusion arose in the skyp. After lending the necessary aid to Mr. Sargent, offi- cer of the shop, and Mr. Jaquith, the prisoners re- turned to their employments. Rogers, who is under sentence for six months as a second-comer, has been somewhat refractory of late, and was yester- day forenoon subjected to the discipline ‘of the shower bath. H:s present sentence will expire on the 29th of September. Nathan Fiske, Esq.,of Cambridge, coroner, held an inquest in the office of the prison last eyening ; and, after a brief examination of Mr. Jaquith, two of the officers, and Dr. W. J. Walker, the jury re- turned a verdict of wilful murder. The deceased, Charles Lincoln, Jr., was 47 years of age, and had held the office of Warden 11 years. oe Beek u wife and eleven children.— Boston Post, lune 16. A Frigutrun Accipent.—On Saturday night, the 8d inst., between eleven and twelve o’clock, as the stage from the South was passing over the bridge on the Chardon road, about a mile and a quarter from Painsvilie, the timbers reaching from one pier to the other, and on which the bridge rested, gave way, and the whole span of the bridge, about forty feet in length, together with’ the coach, horses, dri- ver, and seven passengers, were precipitated with a tremendous crash, about twenty feet into the stream below. Mr. Finley McGrew, together wiih his wite and child, were among the passengers. The child was instaatly killed. Allthe other passengers and the driver were more or less injured ; some of them seriously.
