A great deal of consternation has been produced by itin the ranks of the repeal- ers, and the ardor of the sympathizing American orators, who figured so largely at their meetings,has very rapidly cooled down to zero. Indeed it re uired no very particular sagacity or foresight to perceive that the identification of abolition with re- peal, effected as it was cx cathedra—by the “Libera- tor” hinself—and the fierce denunciations of all op- posed to abolition, would immediately produce a reactive movement, whose impulse would be felt from Maine to Florida. The declaration of Mr. O'Connell is surely em phatic enough— when we obtain our moral force triumph, we will assist in rescuing the slave in every Jand on the face of the earth,” and that there may be no mistake about it, he says,—‘ Sir, I have spo- Ken the sentiment of the Repeal Association.” Such then is the creed in which Captain Bob Tyler and the “‘whole Tyler family” have been baptized. The question of their fidelity or apostacy remains to be settled. Mr. Mooney—the gentleman to whom Mr. O’Con- nell so pointedly alluded in his speech, and who has been one of the most distinguished and efficient ‘ors in this country—is, in common with all his »ciates, Very anxious to neutralize the disastrous efiect of the ‘‘Liberator’s” speech. It is but fair to jet him be heard. Let us then hear what Mr- Mooney has got to say for himself and his brother repealers. Wasnixctox Horen, 2 New Yonx, 24h June, 1813. § To tHe Eprror or ine Herat — Sin—I beg you will be so kind as to insert the follow: ing short speech recently ir. Steele in Dublin, nasubject which at present agitates the public mind very much. 1am anxious that this speech should at once be pub: lished, as, from a speech attributed to O'Connell, which rs in your paper this morning, it would appearthe of Ireland are about entcring on an agitation, not jou, but that of some other race peop for theirown eman or nation. That Mr. O'Connell has a perfect right to entertain and express his private opinions on every species of slavery on earth, ne one will deny. But that the National Repeal Association of Ireland is the place for agitating external questions of human grievances, I have already respect- fully veatured to deny—and do now again deny on the part of my fellow repealers in Ireland, with whom | iated ere I left that country to agitate America in behalf, ow am much pleased to find that Mr. Steele uttered tollowing sentiments in presence ef the great Irish leaiers, which are not unlike those I ventured to express across the Atlantic twelve months ago, and which, I re- gret to fiad, have at this late period been revived and at. tacked by the society denominated the ‘ Anti er, y of Ireland,” who are so consistent in their extend- n that (with the exception of some half dozen of x body) they totally keep aloof from the society for suppressing the slavery of the eight and a half millions of the Irish people at home, and yet roem through the whole earth in quest of other objects for their sympathies. ‘That the geunrous American mation, who have done so much for Ireland, may not suppose that the opinion of O'Connell on this vexed question is joined in very gene. rally by the people of Ireland, 1 request the insertion of this speech of Steele’s in your widely circulating paper, and I trust, in cenclusion, that such papers as have i ed Mr. O’Connel: the oppressed people of Ireland, insert this explans Ihave the honor to be, sir, Your ebliged and obedient servant, THOMA! OONEY. Streve rose and said: Ido not think, ye men of d, my ei kang Aig that I can select any more ap- propriate occasion than the present onc, when I rise to ‘Seeond the resolution proposed by O'Connell, for giving expreesion to my opinions ‘most important subject connected with American slavery. I have had a letter, wo days ago, irom that amiable gentleman, my excellent Sriend, Mr. James Haughton, of this city, to which I take this opportunity ef replying. By his letter, my exceilent friend Mr. Haughton adjures me not to go te America, and Says that we, the O’Connellites, are contaminated by ac- cepting in our struggle American sympathy and aid in the shape of junds. With respect to myself personally, my friend is pleased to say that I am a man ofa free mind, but that if go to the United States of America, holding my resolution of not there denouncing American slavery, I will be “not like the soaring eagle, but like the chain- ed lark.” Now from this doctrine I most decisively,but most respectfully, nay, most reverentially—for I rever- ence the practical virtues of James Haughton—from this doctrine, | say,! dissent most deeisively (cheers.) The man does not exist upon earth who holds slavery of an: kind in deeper abhorrence than | do, and I venture to call the O Conneliites and their august leader transcendently the paramount anti slavery society of the world. (Vehe- ment appl ar ee.) But the O'Counellites and their leacer practical men, and take the world as it unfortunately ir dealings with it amd its cencerns ; but my ami- 4 James Haughton, in the enthusiasm of his na- ture, forgets thatthe world in which he lives is only in srocess of regeneration, but not yet regenerated—it is on- y in a state of transition ; but he wants to deal with it, not as it actually is, but as it ought to be, according to his own benignant conceptions (hear). There is, and al- as been, such perfect unison between Maurice O’- ad me, and between John and me, that whene- pression to my opinions on any great leading rics, I may be almost considered ae giving ex- ession to their opinions ¢!80 (hear, hear, from the mem- er for Kilkenny). Now, therefore, I say for Maurice and myself, that when we shall be in the United States of Americo, agitating for the sympathy of the American people for our country, tyrannized over by “ aliens in b/ood, in language, and religion,” and,while so agitating, receiving fuily (o the same extent as the very Americans themselves the protection of the American laws and insti- tutions, such as they are, (for alas! slavery is a part of them) ; and while receiving the private and public hospi- tality of the people of that country, my triend Maurice O'Connell and I wonld have no right whatever to inter- Sere, either by speaking, or writing, or acting, with those laws and institutions of America under which we our- selves will be pretected (hear, and cheers). Let us re- collect, Mr. Chairman, that we are living not in an Uto- = but ina world of affliction, in which, as long as we ave history, or tradition, slavery has been disastrously one ofthe world’s institutions (hear, hear) my eouutrymen, in order to bring to a we i forethe world, for its judgment, the point in difference between the Hibernian Anti Slavery Society and the O’Connellites—(I am sure that my friend Mr. Haughton « oxpression to the opinions of the body)—I most re- ally request of him to give me, on their part, a pub- lic auswer to this public question, which, I venture to hope, will put the essence of the subject before the world with lucid clearness (hear). Let me suppose that after the first partition of Poland, a confederation of nations had been formed for the purpose of re-establishing the in- tegrity of that country and confirming its indepen- dence; let me furthermore make the supposition that England was disposed to become a member of that confederacy; I now request of my ex- cellent friend, through whom 1 received the splen- did compliment of the present of a book fromthe Hiber- nian Anti-Slavery Society, to answer this question :— Would Poland have been justified (suppesing what I have said to have occurred) in rejecting the aid aad alliance of England for the re-establishment of her ity and in- ependence, because England was at that time, as Ameri- ca is now, a slave holding and slave breeding country !— Heer, hear) Yes, England, meral, not merely geogra- phical England, for, morally speaking, Jamaica and the other West India islands, where negro slaves were held and were bred, were as mucha part of England as Lon- don or Liverpool. ‘The Linexatom—Under the lawsof England. Mr. Steeve—Yer, sir; that is precisely what 1 mean by the words “ moral, and not merely geographical Eng. land.” This is my question—my practical question.— The O'Connellite agitators are not mere theorists, but practioal men of the world. By my soul, we are obliged tobe practical. We are obliged to take mankind as it is, &s our inst; ument for trying to make it better than it is ; but f, instead of working for this purpose with mankin: as it ie, we work with reveries and day dreams of what mankind ought to be, we work not with a potent instru. neat, but with the phantom of an iostrument—with the hell starved ghost of a steam engine. (Mr. Stecle sat 1 amidst long continued cheering.) We don’t think that Mr. Money, even with the help of Mr. Steele, has got clear of the troublesome dilemma in which the “ Liberator” has placed him. From the following report of the proceedings ata repeal meeting in Philadelphia, it will be seen that the apple ot discord is creating ite usual annoyan- ees ia other quarters (Reported for the Pennsylvanian Repeal Assoct Astemacy Burioros, June 21st, 1843 At the adjourned meeting of the Association on Wednew dey eveniog,atter the transection o! some minor business ton the President announced the election of new members as the next in order. Mr, Dunn said he thought it important, before they pro- ceeded to receive the ni of candidates for mem! IP» that those who might present themselves should be made fully aware of the object of the society, and of the cir- cumstances under which they would enter it. Its only object was the repeal of a hateful union between Ireland and the British Government, and the lips of its members were sealed, while in the association, to every how | ber side—upon every other sulject but that of Ireland’s re+ generation. (Loud Applause ) He said this for the pur- pose of preventing the irequent mootung of questions in the association upon Which they as Repealers felt no in- torest— questions which were calculated to arouse angry feelings, and the discussion of which could do no good It any thing like dissentions were to be bred in this country, he trusted that Repeal associations, at least, would have no band init. He said this as a friend to Ireland, and at the same time asa friend to America, end he wes willing to attest that friendship, as was every true Irishman 10 the land, by defending ber character and institutions with his very life’s blood (Tremendous cheering.) They had & constitution to which to look, and there it was declared that their object was repeal, and repeal slone ; and he found by 4 resolution of the Repeal Convention ot 1842, the only object of the Repealers im the United States was to “aid by moral means the peaceable efforts of the people of Irelan‘ to gain their ancieat legislative independence,” without interfering, either by action or opinion, in any matter of religion, polities er abolition, connected with the social condition of this country. Mr. Secretary Couanan asked for the appointment of an assistant, and Wm, Dougherty, Esq, was appointed. Quite a large number of new members were then recei- ved, and a considerable acquisition made to the funds of the society. Mr. Hoop, from the committee appointed to take into consideration the speech of Mr. O'Connell, before the Repeul Association of Dublin, on the 10th of May last,then Tose to read the report of the committee, but had not pro- ceeded far, when Mr. Dowanenty rose to a point of order, and objected to the reading of the report, on the ground of its unconsti- tutionality. The Pursiwenr decided that the reading of the report wasin order. The committee had been appointed by a resolution of the society at its last meeting, and instruc ted when to report, and an adjourned meeting had been called to hearthat report The committee so far had dis- charged their duties, and the chairman was about laying the report before the society. He contended the readin, of the report entirely in onlehs Gace especially as it one not with propriety be pronounced out of order until its contents were known. _ Mr. Dunn appealed fromthe decision of the chair, and in @ speech of some length, stated his reasons ‘The question simply was, wheth subject and sentiments contained in the speech of Mr. O'Connell, were of a pro- per character to be discussed there. He thought they were not, and he oppenled to the society on that ground, As an illustration of this, some two years ago there was a negro riot here, and Mr. O’Connell then (and he thought him rather too free attimes in expressing his opinions) saw fit to denounce the Irishmen in relation tothe matter. At that lime there was a desire manifested to discuss the question in the Association, but it was pronounced out of order, and the society adjourning, a mecting of Irishmen was called to take the matter into consideration. ‘The con- stitution was explicit, and it either meant semething or it meant nothing, and hoping it would be sustained now as it had been betore, he protested against any .nterference with other subjects than repeal; a mecting of Irishmen could be called, and if wrong or injustice had been done them, he would say let it be denounced. Mr. Cotanan briefly supported the decision of the chair. Mr. eRty replied with great wermth. He would not have objected to the reading at first, had it not spoken of other matters than repeal, but it indulged in a tirade of abuse against O'Connell, and to that he would never lis- ten, (loud shouts and cheers.) It was to denounce one of the best of men that ever lived, (cheers,) and he asked ev- ery Irishman to stand by him, and never allow that to be ape done. (This was responded to by the most deafen plause, and shouts from every part of the house.) spoke for some time and concluded by saying that men werealone aggrieved, and they could meet as Irish. men and redress their grievances. He thought an error had been committed in the adoption of the resolution, and he would like to see that step retracted that the matter might leave the Hall forever. After some remarks from Messrs. Dimon, Sweeny and Colahan injfavor of proceeding with the report, that it might be acted on understandingly. Mr. Duss again took the floor, and spoke with unusual animation, supporting his former position and appealing to the society to stand by the Liberator of their eountry— to shiela him even from the breath ot slander, and tocrush in its incipiency that which, if made public and sent forth to the world as the voice of the Association, might tarnish his reputation. Mr. Hoop desired to have the reportheard. There was nothing in it that was calculated in the most remote de- gree to injure the reputation of Mr. O'Connell, for it breathed nothing but thekindest feelings toward him, and now as so much had been said about it, and it had been so freely condemned, he thought it but just to the committee that it should now be heard, that they at least might be cleared ofthe charges which had been brought against them. Gen. Brisnane then addressed the society for a few mo- ments in astrain of great eloquence in favor of the read- ing of the report, and was warmly applauded; when he had concluded, Mir. Dunn withdrew lus appeal. Mr. Youne then moved to dispense with the further reading of the report, which was agreed to. A motion was then made to discharge the com- mittee from the further consideration of the sub- Ject,for the purpose of setting it at rest forever. During the last half hour the excitement had become tremendous, andthe discussion assuming somewhat of a personal character, it was with great difficulty that an: thing like order could be preserved. But at this stage of the proceedings, the president, Mr. Sroxes, calling one of the vice presidents to the chair, stepped upon the stand and was greeted by aloud burst of applause, which was instantly hushed. Regarding the audiences moment, he said— meregretted the neces y which he felt of speaking more at Jength upon the sulject than he had already done in stating the question from the chair, and he should now express his candid view in relation to it, and that too, un- flinchingly, for he never hesitated to say what he believ- ed to be the truth. He then stated the question as plainly and explicitly as possible, thinking it but just that the committee should be heard, and expressing a fet society were allowing themselves to be carri away by their own feelings, and that, in their commendable and unwavering attachment to the Liberator of their country, they were treating uncourteously and with disrespect their own fellow citizens. He thought them acting hasti- ly in retusing to hear the report, and manifesting a of that spirit of independence that ought to charact them as repealers, in retusing to meet a question of i portance with promptness and candor. If the repeal movement was to be successful, it was not by a vacillato- ry course, but by a steady and uniform movement, and every g like indecision should be guarded against with the utmostcare. Between Mr. O’Connell and many of his warm and ardent friends in this country, there was a difference of opinion in many po.nts; this was to be ex- pected. Itcould not well be otherwise. But Mr. O’Con- nell in areeent speech made by him at a repeal meeting in Dublin, called for that particular purpose, had seen fit to use language in regard tothe institutions of this coun- try,its people, and the Irishmen who had made it the country of their adoption, which he (Mr. 8.) thought he was inerrorin using. Now the question was, whether the society hada right to consider this question. Asa people they had been attacked, and if they possessed not the right of self defence, surely they had no right to ex- ert themselves in thedefence of others. And it we (#aid Mr. 8.) havea right to band together to protect the peo of Ireland, who shall say that we haye uot a right * tect the people of our own country? Itwasnot an Ame- rican characteristic to sit tamely by and suffer any man, mo, noteven an angel, to,express views and opinions of us which we honestly knew to be wrong, without en- deavoring to correct them. Tke expression of the views of the socicty upon the question woul] injure no one, and they owed itevento Mr. O'Connell himself. Ifhe was right he would not care what might be said, and if he was wrong heis@ manthat would thank any one for setting him mght. Had the atteck proceeded from an obscure individual, the case would have been widely differen In speaking of Mr. O'Connell, he did not wish to be mi uderstood, Altheugh Mr. O'Connell entertained many notions in regard to this country, which he (Mr. §.) be- lieved to be wrong, yet he entertained for him the great est respect and the deepest veneration. He had ever been his admirer ; and he saw in him all that was lofty in intel- lect, all that was noble in bigh resolve, all thi was steadfast in self denying devotion to i terests of people, and oll that {Loud and’ long cheering.) He rded him as the deliverer of Ireland, and had associa: hi hington, ing applause.) ion, he urged that the ‘ee be continued, that they might revise their re- port and lay it before the socic ts next meeting. The objections to the report he pronounced unfounded, and he regretted that they had acted on the matter before it was understood. Jt had been seid that there was thet in it which would tarnish the fair fe.ae o! Daniel O'Connell. He would putit to theassociation whether the reputation of Daniel O'Connell could be ternished. (This brought forth a round of applause and cries of “No,” “Never,” &c which lasted several minutes, and soon efter, Mr. Stok sat down, having elicited the ‘warmest applause in every part of his address.) After some farther remarks from a numberof gentle men, the question was put and lost, by a large vote, so the committee was continued—and the Association adjourned with their usual three cheers. Every future meeting of the Repeal association throughout the Union, will presenta scene similar to this. Rows will be unavoidable. The whole agitation may indeed be fairly said to be at an end in this country. And the truth of the matter is, Mr. O*’Connell does not care a straw for the public opin- ion of thiscountry. His object appears to be alto- gether local, and falls considerably short of the achievement of Irish Repeal. He wishes to dethrone the Peel administration, and to see the whigs rein- stated im office. With this view he appeals to the sympathies of the abolitionists of Great Britain—a ‘Tux Cask or tue Scorcn Murperxss.—By the report given in the Herald yesterday, of the proceed- ingsin this case, before the Commissioner Rapel- yea, 1| will be seen that a postponement was acced- ed to avowedly for the purpose of affording time to test the arity of the wretched woman on whose head there is too much reason to believe the blood ot ber husband rests, and as the proceedings in this the first case under the late treaty will become the precedent forall succeeding cases, itis a matter of reat importance that the true import of the treaty be understood and enforced, and that the practice of civilized States under the law of nations should not be lightly disregarded and repudiated. We admit that persons accused of crimes have rights which are as sacred as the rights of States and communi- ties, and those rights must be strictly guarded by courts and commissioners. It will be admitted, too, by all jurists that, how clear soever guilt may be, @ conviction contrary to law, is a greater calamity than the escape of the guilty party. But it is also a grievous wrong to a comaunity, when guilt 1s per- jitted to triumph over justice, by the admission of a practice, and the adoption of principles, in pre” paratory examinations, which neither the laws of States nor of nations sanction. If, then, this pris- oner be as insane as her counsel desires to preve her to be, is it sufficient to stay the proceedings which have been commenced and to obstruct the course of justice? The language of the Ashburton treaty is as follows:— Ant. X.—It is agreed that the United States and Her Britannic Majesty shall, upon mutual requisition by them or their ministers and officers, or authorities, respectively made, deliver up to justice, all persons who, rt charg. ed with the crime of murder, or assault, with intent to commit murder, or piracy, or arson, or robbery, or for- gery, or the utterance of forged paper, committed with. in the jurisdiction ef either, shall seek an asylum or shall be found, within the territory ofthe other: provided, that this shall only be done upon such evidence of crimi- nality as, according to the laws of the place where the fugitive or person so charged, shall be found, would jus. tify his apprehension commitment for trial, if the offence or crime had there been committed; and the respective judges, and other magistrates of the two gevernments shall have power, jurisdiction and authority upon complaints made under oath, to issue a warrant for the apprehension of the fugitive or person so charged, that he may be brought before such judge or other magis- trate, to the end that the evidence of criminality may be heard and considered; and if, on such hearing, the e' dence may be deemed sufficient to sustain the charge, it shall be the duty of the examining judge or magistrate, to certify the same to the proper executive authorities, that a warrant may issue for the surrender of such peice. ‘The expense of such apprehension and delivery shall be borne and defrayed b: the party who makes the requisi- tion and receives the fugitive. The plea of insanity is evidently as inadmissible in this early stage of the examination, as it would be in a preparatory examina‘ion by a police justice before committal; and if the murder be clearly proved, and sufficient evidence of criminality be produced to warrant the apprehension and commit- ment for trial of the party accused where the appre- hension takes place, the surrender must necessarily be made. The Commiesioner Rapelyea, therefore, by the course he has pursued, is exercising the func- tions of a jury, and is unquestionably exceeding the powers with which the law invested him. We admit the mental imbecility of the prisoner in this case, for it is too» apparent to be denied; but that is a valid plea only in the last resort, to screen her from the ignominious tate of murderess—but if the requisition be made in due form, this insanity plea, which has so often cheated the gallows of its victims, cannot now avail her, without a palpable violation of a treaty stipulation. We now thus briefly express eur views, and state the law in this case, but when the examination is complete, we shall more fully discuss the principles which this case involves. Reportine.—Our report of Mr. Webster's great oration at Bunker Hill, continues to excite the most amusing demonstrations of the incompetency and chagrin of the Boston press, and numerous other contemporaries. Even the Boston Atlas comes out in favor of our report, and correctly states, that several passages which appear in the official report were not spoken by Mr. Webster at all, and that several portions of our report presented with fidelity and spirit other passages which were delivered amid the excitement of the scene, and which do not appear at all in the tame, spiritless, and lifeless official report. é The Boston Atlas talks in a very amusing way about the excellence of its report. The individual who made it, is one of those creatures who lounge about the lobbies of the houses of Congress, and who is capable only of retailing the gossip and scan- dal which his eavesdropping industry may have ena- bled him to pick up. Our report, in the opinion of all impartial intelli- gent auditors, stands, as it ought to stand, unrivalled It casts all the creatures who attempted to give a local habitation and a name to the utterance of the “God-like Daniel,” completely into the shade. And if they had sense enough they would stay in the dark, and avoid the uncomfortable exposure which is always sure to visit their impertinent aitempts to compete with us, in our efforts of enter- prise and skill. Great Lanp Sates py THE GoverNment.—The President of the United States has issued five pro- clamations, each dated the 8th instant, describing suadry lots and parcels of government lands, which are fadvertised in the Herald, to be sold at certain times and places mentioned in the advertisements,as follows :— In the State of Michigan, at the land office, at Genesee, the sales will commence on Monday, October 9th, for the disposal of eighteen tow! ips and fractional townships. At the land office at Detroit, the sales will commence on Monday, September 26th, for the disposal of six lots recently surveyed in township 6. Inthe Territory ef Wiskonsan, st Minersl Point, Octo. ber 23; at Green Bay, October 2d; and at Milwaukie, October 16th. In the State of Illinois, at Dixon, th: jes will com- mence on the 30th of October next ; at Chicago on the 25th September ; ut Danville, October 2d ; at Kaskaskia, October 16th ; at Edwardsville @ctober 9th; and at Quin- cy, October 23d. In Missouri, at Plattsburg, October 9th, also November 13th ; and at Lexington, October 2: In Jowa, at Dubuque, October 16th ; and at Fairfield, October 24. The sales will each be kept open for two weeks, {unless the lands are sooner disposed of,) during which no private entries will be admitted. Pre emption claimants are required to prove their claims, and make their entries at the proper land of- fices, as soon as practicable after seeing this no- tice. Lands appropriated by law, fer the use of schools, military, or other purposes, will be excluded from sale. Important To TRAVE! —By a recent decision of the Court of Errors of this State, the long mooted question has been settled whether steamboat and railroad proprietors are answerable for goods put on board their conveyances. The decision alluded to was given inthe case of Tobey vs. Vanderbilt, and thereby the doctrine of the common law was affirm- ed. The following are the points decided :— 1. That allcommon carriers are responsible for goods put on board of vessels or conveyances, without reference or respect to any notice that they may give that they will not be held thus responsible. 2. That a notuceon the pert ofthe owners of any steam- ‘ance that they will not be accountable un- en does not exonerate them from ree- Avyotuer Disoracerut Fieut on THe SappaTu.— A party of fighting characters {rom this city landed on Staten Island, neer fort La Fayette, yesterday afternoon, forthe purpose of deciding the superiori- large influential body—the great mass, in fact, of the friends and adherents of liberal or whig princi- ples. Were Sir Robert Peel and his associates once forced back to the oppesition benches, aud the reins ol government held by the whigs, the repeal asso ation would resume its former torpidity, and the Li- berator be as peaceful asa country parson, The Repealers here will very soon see enough of the withering efiects of Mr. O'Connell’s new move- ment. of the Bermudian” to the 11th instant, inclusive, but we cannot find the first item of news worth transferring to our columas. The temperance cause was going ahead in fine style, an@ the place wasina fair way of being re- generat" —_ the advocates of the teetotal system, ty of the Rat Catcher over a fireman from No. — in a regular set-to. Ned Sprague, Mike Walsh, and several custom house watchmen were the backers of the “Rat Cateher,” who, after a fight of about fifty minutes, obliged the seconds of his an- tagonist to carry him out of the ring, when loud cheers were given for the victor. This is the second or third fight that has taken place in and in the vicinity of this city within the past month, and nota single individual engaged has to this hour been arrested. We call upon the authorities to stir in this matter, or the evil will grow beyond their power to control, The expeditions are got up pri- vately, but the acting parties should not be suflered to goatlarge, after they are known. Governor Dorr.—It is expected that this gentle- tien will return to Providence in a few days to re- cume the practice of law. A Sweerine Accusation.—The Courier & En- quirer, the other day, published an article calcula- ted to injure very seriously the merchants of our city engaged in the flour trade, In the most indefinite terms it stated that a clerk employed in'one of these houses had been guilty of serious defalcations, and stated that he had been arrested, and was now con- fined in the Tombs. Neither the name of the cul- prit, or that of the firm who suffered by his roguery, were mentioned. This is quite inexcusable. By this sweeping accusation many respectable houses willsuffer for atime. Merchants in the country and banking houses in the city will be deterred from giving that ciedit to solvent houses which they oth- erwise would have extended, and the integrity of houses in the trade will be for a time seriously affected. ‘We deem it absolutely necessary undér these cir- cumstances to give the names of the culprit, ana the firm who have suffered by his dishonesty. The name of the clerk who has betrayed his trust 1s Davis, and the firm whose trust has been betrayed isDows & Gitteau. Many of our exchange papers have copied the paragraph to which we now refer. They should in equity add our explanatory refer- ence. Cast or Wa. G. Guover.—This isthe unnatural and inhuman wretch who perpetrated, some time since, the horrible assault upon Miss Kugenia A. Austin, at East Boston, with intent to violate her person. He was brought up on Friday before the Boston Municipal Court. He retracted his general plea of “ not guilty” to the indictment. He then pleaded that he would not contend on the second count, which charges a cruel and aggravated assault, with- out any allegation of further intent. Mr. Parker, county attorney, then said that he had received a lettersigned by Miss Austin and her father, stating ‘‘ that inasmuch as Glover had plea- ded guilty to thesecond count, they united in ex- pressing a wish that he should not be put on trial on the first count.” . Mr. Parker said thatan examination of the only witness on the point of attempted violation must ne- cessarily be of a very painful nature to her and her friends, and, after all, he apprehended that her evi- dence thereon would be slight, for the prisoner had not addressed to her any language of solicitation, or mentioned his purpose in attacking her. There was only a gesture on his part from which the grand jury had inferred the felonious intent which they had charged. Under these circumstances, he felt the cause of public justice did notcall upon him to insist ona trial on that count, and he should there- fore enter a nol. pros. Mies Austin was then brought in, and stated to the judge the particulars of the assault, which have already been very fully reported, as they came out in the private preliminary examination in the police ceurt. Mr. John Austin, her father, also described the shocking spectacle which she presented when she returned home. On motion of J.C. Park, forthe defence, the case was continue for sentence till Saturday morn- ing, in order to give him an opportunity to intro- duce testimony as to the general good conduct of the prisoner during the six months preceding his ar- rest. Accordingly, on Saturday morning, Glover was brought up for sentence, and was sentenced to eighteen months hard labor in the House of Cor- rection. Anorser Suockine Sepuction.—The Delaware Gazette, (printed at Wilmington, Delaware,) says —“ A most outrageous case of seduction has been developed within a fortnight past “ over the Bran- dywine.” The “gay Lothario” is named Thomp- son, and is a married man. The innocent victim is the miece of his own wife, and on the day that she was brought before the magistrate to make oath as to the paternity of her unborn innocent, she was on- ly fourteen years of age. The case blackeas at eve- rystep. The child, for she was no more, is an or- phan, left by her dying mother in charge of him who has thus proved himselt so faithless a guardian. The parties are respectably connected, and we therefore refrain from giving more names than are necessary to prevent the suspicion which would arise from an anonymous statement, from falling on guiltless per- sons. Tremont THEATRE CLosep.—The Tremont The- atre was closed on Friday night at about half-past 12 o’clock. The performances closed by the whole company’s singing ‘Auld Lang Syne,” and there were few dry eyes in the house on the occasion. Mr. J. M. Field made a good hit by introducing an episode, and pointing to the figure of Shakspeare over the stage, as about te be broken in pieces by the clum- sy hammer of the blacksmith. Mr. Jones, the Manager, was called out, and made an appropriate and feeling address, which was most enthusiastically received. He stated the circumstances under which the noble edifice had been erected—the result of the enterprise of an Ame- rican actor—its uniform character as a first class theatre—and the success which had attended it.— He observed the closing season was one of the most prosperous which it had ever had, although gene rally speaking the managers had suffered great loss He denied that the drama was extinct in Boston, and that the only trouble was, the house was no; large enough to accommodate the public when there was anattraction. After alluding to the cir- cumstances under which’ the Theatre passed into the hands of others, and his feelings on the occa- sion, he withdrew. Mr. Jones remarked, that he was sorry that his successors were obliged to make use of the Theatre’s worn out decorations for their new decorations, with which to draw a houee. Mr. Gilbert, the stage manager, was next called for, and made a most manly and effective speech. He spoke of the Theatre as being the place where he first made his debut, and won whatever of fame and reputation he had acquired. He was a Boston boy, and by the kind assistance of histownsmen, he hed not failed in his profession. No one could imagine the feelings with which he retired from the scene of his struggle, nor of the deep emotions of Mrs. Gilbert, who had been in the theatre ever since its first opening. He denounced the con- duct of those who had been instrumental in its desecration, by selling it for purposes of mere epeculation, and saidfif a new building was erected, he hoped it would not fall into the hands of a set of rapacious speculators! Hedenied that the Drama was extinguished in Boston, and that by the liberali- ty of Bostonians, another temple of the ‘‘ Bard” would soon be erected. Mr. Gilbert retired with deafening cheers. Mr. W. R. Blake of the National, the gentleman who delivered thg address at the opening of the Tre- mont, then sddressed the audience from the south proscenium box, ina strain of fluent and manly élo- quence. He spoke of the character of the perform- ers on the stage, their uniform good deportment and fine traits of character, their readiness to sympathise with, and succor the distressed and afflicted—and stated that no one could regret to see a theatre turned into a place of worship, if those who came in were actuated by a desire to advance the cause of pure and undefiled religion —but cant and hypocrisy he desecrated. He instanced many cases of the virtue and piety of actors and actresses, whose hearts were ever open to relieve the suffering ; and he would at any time contrast their characters with any of those who were to succeed them—he allud- ed to the circumstances of the performers and some hundred dependents who were thus deprived o their da ly support—a fact which those who were te come after them seemed to rejoice over, and closed by saying that as he was present at the opening, he could not refrain from making a few remarks at the close. Mr. Blake was heartily cheered. We noticed Mrs. Pelby and Mrs. Anderson pre- sent, as also many others of the profession, who seemed much affected. At last the lights were put out, and then the dramatic star of the Tremont sunk in darkness forever” Cruise or THe Fatmourm.—We are indebted to an officer on board this versel for the following sketch of her cruize from Pensacola to Savan- nah :— The Falmouth sailed from Pensacola on the Ist pm published of May. In 19 days she made Cape Nicola Mole. Sent a boat on shore, and ascertained that the re- cent revolution had terminated, and all was again quiet. Next day the ship anchored at Gonaives, to the authorities, which was returned on their part from two field pieces, On the 26th of May an- chored at the town of St. Mark, where salutes were inte! thorities and some of the female population. On the 3ist of May arrived at Port au Prince. After exchanging the usual salutes, the officers j went on shore and were politely received. The Falmouth was there three days. It was very sickly at Port au Prince, the yellow fever raging there when the Falmouth left. «American produce dull. Island produce scarce and high. The Falmouth cruised down the south side of Cuba, passed the Isle of Pines and Cape Antonio. Noticed hghters taking goods on shore from the wreckers at Cape Antonio. The F. then eailed for Savannah, and reached Tybee light on Saturday. Warerinc Piaces.—Now that the summer sea- son has come upon usin all its brilliancy,every body is looking out for arefuge from the heat and oppres- sive radiance of the midsummer sun. And where can-we find a city of refuge hke that afforded by the United States Hotel at Saratoga? Leayder’s German Band have been engaged at this splendid establishment, and every night they actually put the music of the spheres to the blush. Such tones of harmony never before mingled with the varied 1 music of the skies as they looked down on the hurrying crowds of the dim and toiling earth. Who, in enumerating the places of summer re- sort, can possibly forget Saratoga ? What a delighfu | place! Itis one of the most beautiful in the U. States, and will undoubtedly be the gayest during the present season. The thousand lovely, bloom- ing, lonely, anxious belles of our city will be there, and the South will pour in her crowds of expect- ant beauties. To the Springs they will come, in all their plump, rosy, fascinating charms, and thrice happy will be the historian of their witchery and their settled triumphs. And ther come Sharon Springs, with all their long recorded attractions. Here the lover of in- land scenery may find perpetual subjects of study and engagement. The invalid may obtain here the sources of renewed health and lasting pleasure. Agreeable company—delightful scenery—pleasant acquaintances—refreshing baths—and jolly visiters ate sure to be met with here Will Avon Springs be wanting? No, not they. Hav’nt they got sulphur springs and air of unequalled salubrity? To be sure they have. Hundreds will be there—if they be wise enough to secure to them- selves good air—good bathing—and good living, in every sense of the word. Fort Hamilton—need we mention it? We can hardly think it necessary. Who doesn’t know its beautiful ball-room? This will be the place during the summer for elegant entertainments—for love— poetry—Shakspeare, and the musical glasses. Oh! then there is New Brighton—the Pavilion, by Blancard, the Belmont House, by Pieris, are hostelries unequalled in modern or,profane history. Nobody can compare with them, except Read & Blake, of Stonington--what a beautiful house they do keep? Long Branch is a place, whose merits, like that of our humble, blushing Phillis, have never excited the admiration of a town Corydon—and are not yet recorded in epic prose, but in that, it is exactly a spot for a poet to burst his unmentionables. Here there is no foul air—no pestilential miasmata arising from foul swamps, no muddy ponds, corrupting the invigorating influence of the sea air. Nisto’s.—The re-engagement of Mad. Calve at this establishment will afford much pleasure to the lovers of music. The last new (and decidedly the most successful) Opera L’Eclair, is to be repeated this evening; it was received with enthusiastic cheers by a crowded saloon on Friday last, and is well calculated to exhibit the fine voice and exqui- site taste of M’selle Calve ; her style and manner are bolder and more energetic than in any previous ope- rathatshe has appeared in. Messrs. Lecourt and Richer, and the arch Mad. Lecourt have all good parts assigned them ; the music as a composition, is of a very high order, and is played to precision under the direction of Mons. Prevost. Bowery AMPHITHEATRE.—The superior perform- ances of the equestrian troupe at this establishment are beginning to be appreciated, and the house is now one of the most fashionable places of amuse- ment inthe city. Strangers visiting the city will find thisa delightful place for an evening’s enter- tainment. City Intelligence. Acctoentat Dnowsixc.—The Coroner held an inquest yesterday, at the house of Alenzo J. Bailey, No. 13 Se- cond street, on the body of his brother-in-law, Erasmus Jasher Kearsing, aged about sixteen years. He left home on Saturday night, about 8 o’clock, to bathe in the East river, at the foot of Eighteenth street, and while in the water was seized with acramp. His companions knowing him te be a good swimmer, thought at first he was in eport, until they heard him groan, when they hastened to his rescue and brought him on shore almost dead. Dr. Hutton was ‘immediately summoned, who tried every effort to inflate,the lungs and restore,animation, but life had fled. Verdict, accidentally drowned. Pouce —Not a single case of interest was brought be fore the Police yesterday. Tne Common Councit meet this afternoon. 0G- THE MANAGER OF THE AMERICAN MU. seum has engaged Gen. Tom Thumb, the wonder‘al dwarf, for this week. The General is too well knownin this city to need any thing more than the mere announce- ment of his name to fill that establishment to its utmost ca- acity. He is a greatiavorite ot the ladies, and has pre- ably made as lasting an im upon their hearts in all the great cities of the North and South as any other public character. They will not, of course, forget or ne- glect him now. Mr. Harrin, appears in several new tricks and feats, in conjunction with a variety of other performers, who will entertain the visiters every after. hoon and evening. The Garden and Fountain are de- lighttul, and the manager is making such preparations for the glorious Fourth as will bid defiance toall competi. tion. fg- THE END OF THE WORLD, AS PROPHE- sied by Miller, may be true after all! else how can we account for the production and discovery of the half man and half menkey nondescript advertised this week jew York Museum, That creatur stitute it offensive appearance, but lively, chattering and frolicsome as a monkey, running on all fours an: skipping about from one object to another, like a mischie vous ape, yet speaking the language of our species, is cer- tainly the most singular development of;nature ever seen.

MONEY MARKKT, fF unday, June 25—6 P. M. The Comptroller’s sale of land for texes will commence on Monday morning st division 21, Great Lot 2, of Hare denburg Patent, Sullivan county. American gold is in demand at } percent premium, and very little can be procured at all. This is owing to the culpable neglect of the federal goverument, and the ini- quity of peliticians, who, while wrangling about a Na- tional Bank, have utterly neglected to “regulate the currency,” as presented by the constitution. The quenti- ty of specie in this country is sufficient for all its wants, and is constantly increasing, through the industry of the people, and yet it is in a form which renders it utterly useless fora currency, There are in the city bankshere $13,000,000 in specie foreign money, and yet a person travelling cannot pick up $500 of national coia, He ean take foreign gold, because the people are’unecquainted with it. The specie in the banks is of no more use than stones for a currency, because Congress has neglected to provide the means of coining it. There is a mintto be sure in Philadelphia, but it costs } to per cent, in trans- portation and delay, to have money coined. Who is to lose that money 7? To coin the foreign money now inthi city would cost $65,000, wherens if the mint was in this city it would cost nothing, and a national currency would make its appearance. This want of a mint is one of th most powerful agents in forcing paper into circulation in- stead of gold. Ifaman starts for the West to buy pro- duce, he applies for American gold and cannot get it, for- eign gold will not pass, and he is forced to take paper ; or ithe will have gold, he must tuke it to Philadelphia and stey there until it is ceined, a ccremony destructive of all business. All this forms a powerful sxpport to banking, because it prevents the circulation of the “uniform cur- rency” of the constitution, atthe same time that it aflords knaves an argument in favor of a swindling bank. The abundance of moneyjis hourly becoming greater: with very little prospect of an enhanced demand for busi. Ness purposes equal te the increase of funds seeking in- vestment. Money is now so low in price that it can be obtained on good security at rates never before equalled. On the 1st proximo will be poured into the market some $12,000,000, in dividends, treasury notes, redemptions, kc Allthis money will be added to the amount now seeking employment. The Treasury notes are held to a very large amount by banks of this State. Over $3,000,000 were reported in the Bank Commissioner's returns in Jan- uary as held in this city—since which time the amount has been largely‘increased. Oathe Ist of May the Bank of Commerce held near $500,000. All the banks in the State hold some $5,000,000, and the benks in neigh- boring States nearly the balance. ‘These notes are te be paid off in money, and the funds to be reinvested. The new government five per cent stock |is by no means the most favorable investment at e preminam. New York banks, whicn hold a large proportion of these six per cent Treasury notes, if they choose to invest the proceeds in stock, will prefer the five per cents of [their own State at adiscount, rather than the government fives at five per cent difference. Tennessee and Kentucky sixes can be had under par, and are as sound as any in the Union. Many other stocks offer more advantageous terms of in- vestment. Hence it is by no means certain, even if the prevailing belief that the new loan is taken abroad should be disappointed, that the,government stock will betaken here. In fact, the national character of the stock and its high credit abroad, makes it more valuable elsewhere than here, With the capitalists of the West Indies it stands high, and is attracting capital from that querter- Alter the 1st proximo then many millions of money will bo forced into new channels of invectment, end good West- ern stecks must come into request. The Ohio loan going tothat State will spread a large amount of money among its citizens and give a firmer basis to the whole debt by imparting an impulse to its agricultural wealth. The Mlinois loan for nearly a similar amount will complete the freat national work of that State, and throw $1,600,000 among the farmers, forming so much capital wherewith to stimulate their industry in feeding the canal with freight, and accelerate the quantity of money to be drawn from Europe in future times. There can be very little doubt of the success of the new Illinois loan—in fact if the law had allowed of subscription from the improvement bonds ‘as well as the canal bonds, it would long since have been taken ; as it is, nearly all the canal bonds here have been subscribed at the American Exehange Bank, where the books areopen. The substance of thé ogroement signed on subscribing bonds iste the effect that the subscribers agree to, and with the Governor, to pay the specified amount to the board of Trustees, at such times and places as he may direct in New Yorkcity, after a notice of 90 days, on condition that the whole amount of $1,600,000 is subscribed, to he reimbursed [principal and six per cont interest, in the city of New York, in United States cur- rency. Thesotermsjhave been subscribed to by holders of $600,000 of bonds here. The remainder of the out: tanding canal debt is nearly all held in London whither 2 Commissioners have gone to complete the loan. The holders of the bonds are large capitalists, intimately acquainted with the affairs of the United States, and whose confidence in the ultimate payment of thedebts, has remained unshaken through all the vicissi tudes of the past ¥ The security for the loan given by the law is undoubt od it opens the way #oclearly tothe accomplishment of the object for witich the old debt was created, and consequently to the reimburse. paid. ‘Also at Wadleigh’s, 450 Broadway; J.
