Y., Messrs, Stanton & Co. Kuvestos, N. ¥., Mr. Z. Waller ‘Tue Cmivese Missron.—Mr. Cushing arrived at the Astor House on Saturday, and left yesterday af- ternoon for Washington. His arrangements for his departure are now nearly completed, but the precise day of his sailing from Norfotk, the port of embarkation, has not yet been determined. He must, however, reach Suez on the 22d of September next, in order to meet the members of his suite, who have already sailed, and go on board the Brandy- wine, the vessel which will convey the embassy to China. The linguist, physician, draughtsman, and two attachés, who accompapy the mission, sailed some time since from Norfolk. Mr. Joha Tyler, Jr. does not accompany Mr. Cushing. The proprie- tor aud editor of the “* Canton Register,” who are fully competent, will discarge the duties of interpre- ters to the mission. Mr. Cushing’s suite will consist of ten persons.— The official costume of the Minister will be the uniform of a Major General, with some alight addi- tions in the way of embroideries. The costume recommended by the department, consiste of a blue coat with gilt buttons, and very richly embroidered, a white vest, also embroidered, white pantaloone, with a gold stripe down the seam, and a chapeau with white plume. But as it was impossible to have the embroideries executed in time, Mr. Cush- ing adopted the alternative allowed by the depart- ment, and chose the military costume we have de- scribed. A great deal of public attention has been excited by the appointment of this mission. And it would be strange ifit were otherwise. America now, for the first time, enters into relations of diplomatic equality with this great Asiatic nation, and at ape- riod singularly auspicious for the formation of a per- manent and advantageous friendship. Circumstan- ces have forced Great Britain into @ position, in which she 1s obliged to refrain trom offering any opposition to the successful diplomatic and commer- cial operations of other nations. That the United States have the best chance of cultivating this new and vast Seld of enterprise with superior success, is very certain. The relative estimation in which the British and the Americans are held in China, are sufficiently illustrated by a single anecdote. Some years since the British frigate Madagascar was dri- yen onthe coast of China ina tempestuous night,and was dashed to pieces. Of tour boats which were launched, three were swamped, and all on board perished. Forty men, however, who were in the fourth boat, eucceeded in reaching the beach.— They were seized in the morning by a large body ofthe natives,and carried into the interior. To save themselves from the fate of “ barbarians,” their only resource was to represent themselves as Ame- ricans, in which statement they were eustained | through the intervention of a respectable Scottish firm in Canton, by several American merchante.— This confirmation of the statements of the ship- wrecked British seamen, procured their immediate discharge ! Whilst speaking of the widely different manner in which the Americans and the British are regarded and treated in China, it would be worth while to refer to one of the great moving causes of the late war. It is altogether a mistake to adopt the popular opinion, and suppose that the “ opium question” was the primum mobile of the war. Its origin isto be traced to the events which followed the expiration of the East India Company’s charter in 1835. Pre- vious to that period the European trade with China had been conducted by the company, and their re- presentatives were received and treated by the Chi- nese governmen, with appropriate respect and cour- tesy. But it wasin the character of merchants only that they were recognized. On the expiration of the company’s charter, Lord Napier was sent out to China, by the British government, as their official representative. On his arrival, he was asked what character he sustained, and on his announcing that he appeared there as the official representative of the British government, he was immediately in- formed that he could not be received or permitted to remain in that capacity. A tedious controversy followed, and many reams of paper were fired off on both sides. Napier aeserted his fixed determination toremain. “ Very well,” said the Chinese govern- ment, but orders were instantly issued prohibiting avy native from supplying the contumacious “ bar- barians” with food—irom serving them, or minister- ing fo their wants in any way. The result may be imegined—Napier was soon starved into a retreat, and not long after, died of a broken heart. From this time the British government felt itself bound to whip the “‘Celestials” into submission, and only awaited a favorable opportunity of performing the of the Chinese; these documents presenting the most indubitable evidence of the no ordinary pre- tensions of their authors to the most respectable character as diplomatists. ; The appointment of Mr.Cushing we regard as erni- nently felicitous. He is, es is well known, a man of the most finished education—of extensive and varied erudition—of refined taste—great powers of observation—an experienced judgment—thordygh- ly acquainted with the science of just and enlight- ened diplomacy— and of singularly amiable and pre- possessing manners. His acquaintance with the history, literature, politics, custems, and present cendition of China is remarkably extensive and ac- curate; and considerably surpasses, we will venture to say, that of any European who has resided in the Celeatial Empire. When we add to these consider- ationé the fact that the Chinese are already disposed to réceive an American official in afavorable man- her, we may surely have little hesitation in predict- ing for this mission all the success which can possi- bly be expected. Besides all this, Mr. Cushing will assume from his arrival,a character of perfect inde- pendence. Unlike Macartney and the other repre- sentatives of the British crown, he goes notasa “tnbute-bearer”—not asa doer of homage to his celestial majesty. He will offer no presents, and ac- ceptnone. He goes inthe unshackled majesty of the independent representative of a free people, so- liciting no favors, and anxious only to serve his country, and perpetuate and improve those amicable relations which already happily subsist between it aud the power with whom he isto treat, As regards both the eettlement on advantageous terms of the Commercial relations of America and China, and the communication of interesting and important in- formation relative to the present state and future prospects of the celestial empire, we anticipate from Mr. Cushing’s mieaion, results of no ordinary mag- nitude. Mr. Wessrer’s Bunker Hitt. Oration.—We find that the Committee of Arrangements of the Bunker Hill celebration haye transmitted a resolu- tion to Mr. Webster, requesting him to give them a copy of his oration, with explanatory and illustra- tive notes, that it may be handed down to future ge- nerations in an improved and authentic form. And Mr. Webster replies, ‘that he cheerfully complies with the request of the committee. Hibsillustrative notes will possess much interest, and we shall give them to our readers when they come to hand, more especia!ly as they will be a fit accompaniment to our report of his oration, which Mr. Webster takes ag the version which he intends (to use the lan- guage of the committee,) to ‘be generally spread Pi: hives IngLanp—R gpeat Acrration—RE- .—We have faithfully endeavored to Justice to the repeal agitation, by presenting it in its features to the public in this country. Some boobies have taken offence because we have not at once become partisans in the movement. This int our business in any case. We give the honest truth, and on all great questions agitating the popu- lar mind, we labor to present a faithful chronicle of allthatissaid and done. In this spiritwe present our readers with a few extracts (rom the great anti- repeal speech of Professor Butt, in Dublin, on the Mthultimo, The chief interest of these extracts arises from their embodying specimens of the most popular ‘repeal songs.” Hear the Professor—an able and eloquent man, and a very popular advo- cate of the Tory or Orange party: — The book he held in his hand was a republication of several of the political ballads which have been publish. ed in the columns of that journal—they were now col- lected into this book, and republished at a very cheap rate, and extensively circulated through the pe aa and he (Mr. Butt) did implore the earnest attention of the meeting, of the country, of the Loiphegatogees tethe open ‘and avowed principles declared in theso ballads. (Hear, hear.) They remembered the wise man who had said, “give me the making of the oe ballads, and I care not who makes the laws.” The Repealers acted literally upon this principle, for while they deserted the House of Commons altogether, they circulated ballads, such as he would now read, among the people, (cheers.) ‘The learn- ed gentleman, sfier proceeding to say that these ballads were written with a poetic pen worthy of a better cause, and that the writer, whoever he was, unquestionably de- served the name of poet, and had the inspiration of a poet, said that the first verse in the book he was quite waliog to adopt as the motto of that meeting—it was is:— ‘The work that should to-day be wrought, Defer not till to-morrow 3 ‘The help that should within be sought, Scorn trom without to borrow. Old maxima these—yet stout aud true— ‘They speak in trumpet tone, To do at once what is to do, And trust “ourselves alone” They might loarn from a foe—and while some persons were debating about the proper time for being loyal, and while some were praising the government for one thing, and others blaming them for another, let the motto of the loyalists of Ireland be—independent of any ministry, and with interests dearer than ény ministry at stake— To do at once what is to do, And trust ‘ ourselves alone.” Ay, “trust themselves alone;” and while he was not in- diferent to the value of British sympathy, while he de- manded tor loyal men the protection which was the first Goh of a government to give, he yet declared that even if they had no England to aid, and no government to protect, there was loyalty enough in Ireland itself to preserve the omnia te the British Crown, (enthusiastic cheers.) He (Mr, Butt) did not now use the language of excitement ; he spoke notin idle bravado, but he utter- ed the stern and the fixed conviction of his heart, that tho loyalists of Ireland were able to protect theraselves when the struggle came (immense cheers). He used such lan- guage with reluctance, but he believed in his heart that no other language was suited to the emergency of the time ; they must meet the threats of physical force by a manly and an indignant defiance (tremendous cheers), and cries of midst of peril to take counsel they should understand their hear.’) The western war son; of the massacre (great sensation.) Let them see they spoke of 1796:— Who fear tospeak of ninety-cight, 0 fear of ninety- _ Who blushes at the name, When cowards mock the patriot’s fate, Who han; Buta trae man, Will fill your glass with us. The dust of some Irish earth 5 Among their own they rest ; And the same land that gave them birth, ‘Has caught them to the breast And we'll pray that from their clay Fullmany a race may start Ot true men, like you, men, Te act as brave apart. As brave as the rebels did at Scullabogue ; and here isa distinct prayer that arose from their ashes men might now arise to re-enact the terrible scenes of 1798 (great cries of “ Hear, hear.”) Let them take the follo warnius to the Protestant landlords, from a ballad ci exterm! nation :— But, for Erin’s life current, thro’ long ages flowing, Dark demons that pierce her, you yet shall atone ; Even now the volcano beneath you is glowing, And the Moloch of tyranny reels on his throne. The Leinster war song is the last that he would read— Bondsmen! compatriots! scoff of the stranger, Grasp the wer-torch and the chain-break: word : Orcreuch, like lash’d hounds, at the foreigner’s manger, ‘And lick the red s eof your Sassenagh loru ! Rouse you! forshame! from a slumber of ages, Sons of the murdered, by forests and caves ; Shout like the ocean, when the fierce tom; rages, Rise with the strength of ten millions of waves! Sound a loud hymn; forthe gathering natio Surging and murmuring, heaves like the sea ; Sound ! and full soon the glad harp strings’ vibration Shall chime to the chorus of millions made free! By the crimson Clontarf, and the Liffey’s dark waters, By shore, vale, and stream, with our heart’s blood that runs! | By Barrow and Boyne, conflagration and slaughter, ‘Shall toss their red plumes in the blaze of our guns! (It is impossible to describe the sensation produced by the readin, nd the other extracts.) Here there is ao direct incentive to rebellion, to blood, gration. If hehad not produced this book, would they have believed it possible that in the year 1843, in the metropolis of Ireland, thi anza should be printed, openly printed, pub! nd By the crimson Clontarf, and the Liftey’s dark waters, vale, and stream, with our heart’s blood that By Barrow and Boyne, conflagration and slaughter ‘Shall toss their red plumes in the blaze of their guns He could not tell but the book contained worse passages He had oply cast his eye ever it for half an hour ; but it needed no great research to select from it those speci- mens of treason. He had reed these extracts, he solemn- red them, not to excite their ions or kindl feelings (hear, hear,) but because he believed it cessary that every Protestant in Ireland should now look the danger fully inthe face (great cheering.) And what that danger was they must judge from the extracts he had (continued cheers)—where such incentives to rebel. lion as these are sent among our population. But was this and tell the men who menace by numbers the authority throughout the nation, and transmitted to those who come after us.” This was the course pursued with Mr. W.’sepeeches at Baltimore and at Faneuil Hall, and his speech before the Historical Society respe et- ing the Jay Map, which were all republished from the columnsof the Herald ina permanent form. And itis susceptible of easy interpretation why it should be so. Mr. Webster, as an experienced orator, rises with his subject during his progress, and his genius despises and discards the cold and elaborate notes prepared in the eeclusion of the closet ; hence ‘‘ his thoughts that breathe and words that burn,” as re- ported by ourshort-hand writers, are more animate and life-like than his studied oration. We could give various passages in parallel columns {rom our report and the official copy of the Bunker Hill ora- ration in proof of our position, but the fact that our reports have been invariably take for republication in pamphlet form, in all the instances which we have enumerated, are so convincing that further comment is unnecessary. And by thus publishing Mr. Webster's great efforts, we have not only prov- ed ourselves emphatically his best friends, but we have done the world some service, and with the ex- ception uf some crawling contemptible imbeciles, the whole earth knows and acknowledges it. We have given form and substance and perpetuity, to what would otherwise have been heard but for the moment, end then passed from the memory of the humble auditory to which it was delivered. Thus the world becomes our debtor ; but the obligation becomes o’erpowering—nay, so great that the whole earth is reduced to a hopeless state of bankruptcy in regard to its obligations to us ——, when this subject is viewed in all its bearings. By fur- nishing public men with their speeches fairly print- ed, the morning after delivery, with their cotlee, we relieve them from much anxious laber, and leave their minds uatrammelied and at ease to go on and bless the earth’s inhabitants from the inexhaustible fountains of their wisdom. The world, however, need not distress itself; we shall be found an easy creditor, and may possibly be induced to compro- mise for a very small dividend. Tue Caninet Comrietr.—The Madisonian an- nounces officially that the cabinet arrangements have at length been completed, and that the Depart- ments are placed under the administration of the undermentioned gentlemen :— Hon. Ase P. Ursuur, Secretary of State. Hon. Jonn C, Spencer, Secretary of the Trea- sury. Hon. J. M. Porter, Secretary of War. Hon. Davin Hensnaw, Secretary of the Navy. Hon. Cuartes A. Wickuirre, Postmaster Ge- task, wi’! a reasonable show of reason and justice. The repc:icioa, in the case of Commissioner Elliot, of the couduct on the part of the Chinese govern- ment, which was so offensive in Napier’s case, pre- sented this opportunity, and the war was according- ly commen: which has now terminated in throw- ing open cig ed world, a vast populous and productive regi®n of ie earth, which had been for #0 many ages almost altogethe: barred against them. We cannot avoid referring, in however brief and desultory a manner, to the probable, nay, the neces- sary results, of throwing open the doors of China to the entrance of the civilization, religion, arts and enterprise of Christendom. It 1s an event, al- most equal in importance to that which added a new continentto the glebe. Vast tracta of fertile soil invite the culture of the experieneed and scien- tific tiller ef the ground. Commeree is attracted by ten thousand new avenues to enterprise and reward. The philanthropist, and the christian see the obsta- cles removed which have hitherto prevented enlight- ened benevolence from dispersing the blessings of truth and knowledge to millions ef the human race, who would otherwise have perished like previous ge- nerations in the datknese of heathenism. The sur- plus population of Europe, and the enterprising off- spring of the new world, will soon convert this ex. tended Asiatic field, into a scene of successful in- dustry, enterprise and labor. ltisa very common, and a very erroneous fo- tion, that the Chinese are a stupid and ignorant race. ‘This is so much a popular opinion that those who ore better informed will excuse us in saying a word or two illustrative of its utter want of founda- ton in truth. And the readiest way to show this is torefer to one or two facts connected with the controversy on the opium question, as it was carried on in China, by those who took the leading part in the management and discussion of the affairs of the empire. Some six years ago there was published 4 quario yolume, in which this question was dis- eussed in the most elaborate and skilful manner The morality of the traffic was argued at great length, amd on precisely the same grounds as those on which the temperance question was discussed in this country. The ingenuity displayed in the adop- tion of the arguments, and the ekill and force with which they were managed on both sides, would have done no discredit to the most accomplished logical disputants in our own country. Then fol Jowed the discussion of the economy of the traffic, and the question whether the traffic being one which could not be suppressed, could not or should not be legalized with advantege to the nation, was argued with equal ability, vigor and effect. But the official documents of the Chinese government he ving been of Inte so frequently and universally ) ented to the examination of the publie here, 2 more is necessary to be said in vindication of the tact, sbrewdness, and great matur intelligence neral. Hon. Joun Nexson, Attorney General. Nor Trve.—It is amusing sometimes to observe the blundersinto which newspaper editors, propos- ing to have the most accurate information relative to matters in the old World, occasionally fall, The Albion of last week, commits a number of blunders ofthisdesenption. Amongst them is the statement that Bishop Higgins, whose active participation in the repeal agitation excited a good deal of interest, was the protege of the Granard family. This is al- together erroneons. The Bishop is a self-made man, and isunder no obligations whatever to any portion of the aristocracy, for whom he profeeses 8o little regard. Wedeemit worth while to correct the mistake into which the Albion has fallen, ina: much asit is calculated to cast an injurious imputa- tion on the character of the Bishep, and the award- ing of justice to all men, is a duty which we would desire uniformly to discharge. A Sroartsman’s Conscience.— A rather interesting incident occurred at the splendid dinner given by the merchants of Boston to Mr. Cushing, which was eo illustrative of the character of Mr. Webster, that we are tempted to give it the immortality of our types. The dinner took place on the 2d of July. Amongst the delicacies of the season enumerated in the bill of fare, a dish of snipes occupied an appro- priate place. Mr. Webster asked to be heiped to one; but just as he commenced the interesting pro- cess of its dissection, he suddenly exclaimed, lay- ing down his knife and fork with enphatic indigna- tion, “ Why this is woodcock, and the Fourth of July has not yet come!” M. C. A.—Three mysterious characters have rived at the Astor House, and registered their names as follows :— N. Eaton, Jr, M. C.A., Boston; J, Eustis,Jr.,M.C.A, Boston ; Wm. Bass, M. C. A., Boston. These names are believed to be assumed, and there is strong suspicion that their present purpose in this city 1s, if not fowly, at least piscatorially to abduct and carry off, vi et armis, Messrs. Wm. 7’. Porter, of the Spirit of the Times, and George W. Kendall, ef the Picayune. The Mammoth Cod Association in Boston are presumed to be implicated in this business. We hope this will turn out to be nothing woree than a fish story Og Ex-Governor Branch, of North Carolina, hes arrived at the American Hotel. Qg- Major Ringgold of the U.S. A., has arrived at the Astor House. Og Mr. Henry Russell, the voealist, has offered to give a concert at New Bedford on Mouday even- ing next, for the benefit of. fire at Fall River. ss ofthe sovereign, that there were hundreds of th nds of’oyalmen in Ireland who defied them, (cheers) and who were able ana determined to gu if need be, against aggression by their own true hearts and their own strong hands, their hearths, their altars, and their homes (tremendous cheering for fometime). When he read to them the language that was sent through the country in the baliads from which he was about to quote, they would feel that such language, and such language alone, be- camethe loyalists of Ireland. It was unnecessary for them to say in terms of explicit self reliance that, under God, they were able to protect themselves and would do 80 (loud cheers). He ought to say that the book from which he was reading he bad seen for the first time since he had come.to tkat meeting, and it was very probable that there were many passeges in it more treasonat:le than those which he would quote. He would read them, too, as he found them in their order—he was not seeking for etfect—he was only anxious to bring before those who hareda common peril with himself, the real dangers that surround them, and he knew they would pardon him if he ventured in iam | this to occupy their time (im- mense cheers, and cries of “ Gs on.”) The first ballad which he would read was one entitled, ‘‘ The Men of Tip- perary.” They ail knew for what the men of Tipperary were noted in the page of Irish crime :— THS MEN OF TIPPERARY. Let Britain boast her British hosts, About them ali right little care we , Not British seas, nor British coasts, Can match the Menot Tipperary. ‘Tall is his form, his heart is warm, His spirit light ax any fairy ; His wrath is fearful as the storm ‘That sweeps the hills of Tipperary.

Send him to fight for native lanJ, His is no courage cold and weary ; The troops live not on earth, could stand The headlong Charge of Tipperary. Let Britain bring her motley rag, Ay (continued Mr. Butt,) this is the loyalty of those who dared to charge the Prostestants of Ireland with a condi- tional loyalty (immense cheers.) This is theirlove for the most beloved of Sovereigns, (continued cheers.) It isthus they dare to describe that Sovereign’s glory— ‘The fleg that braved in thousand years, ‘The battle andthe breeze. —_(linmen#e cheers.) Let Britain bring her motley rag, Weill lift the green more proud an airy ; Be mine the lot to bear that flag, And head the men of Tip; wink ‘Though Britain boasts her British hosts, About them all right little care we ; Give us to guard o1ir native coasts ‘The matchless men of Tipperary. ‘Tipperary seemed to occtipy the imagination of this poet of rebellion ; the very next ballad wasthe Munster war song, in which were the following stanzas— The sunburst that slumbered embalmed in our tears, Tipperary shall wave o’er th; ¥ tall mountaineers, And thedark bill lL bristle with sabre and spear, ‘While one tyrant remains to forge manacles here. * . * * ‘And who shall pass over the stormy Slieve Bloom, To tell the pale Saxon of tyranny's doom ; When like tigers trom ambush,our fierce mountaineers, Leap along from the ‘crags with their death-dealing ‘Spears ? They came with high boasting to bind us asslaves ; But the glen and the torrent have yawned for their raves From the gloomy Ardfinnan to wild Templemore— From the Suir to the Shannon—is red with their gore. It was right tg say thatthis Munster war-song was headed with the date 1190, and professed to refer to an historical passage ; but willthis conceal the spirit appli- cable to the present time, and to prevent the possibility of mistake they meta little after with the Irish war-song, headed with the date 1843; but he would proceed regular- ly. They hed heard a great deal of the union of the orauge and green ; the next one would show that sinceri- ty there was in this— °Tis the grcen—oh, the green is the color of the true, And we'll back it gainthe orange, and we'll raise it over the blue! For the color of our fatherland alone should here be feen— *Tis the color of the martyred dead—ourown immortal green; Then up for the green, bo: d up for the green! Oh, ‘tis down to the dust, and a shame to n But we've hands—oh, we've hands, boys, full enough, | ween, To rescue and to raise again our own immortal green! Next came one headed “The Vow of Tipperary”—Tip perary was the dream of this poet’s imagination :— From Carrick streets to Shannon shore— From Slieveuamon to Ballindeary— From Longfor‘ pass to Galtymore— Come hear tlie Vow of Tipperary. “Too long we fought for Briton’s ¢ And ot our blood were never chary ; She paid us back with tyraut laws, And thinned the homes of Tipperary. “But never more we'll win such thanks: ear oy God and Virgin Mary, ritish ranks,” ‘And that's the vow of Tipperary. This i- the vow that they will not enlist in the British army ; the British army can well spare them (loud cheers). He (Mr. Batt) would not occupy their time by reading a ballad headed “ The Saxon Spilling,” exactly similar in spirit to“ The Vow ot Tipperary.” About his next quo- tation there could be no mistake; it was “Irish War Fong, AD. 1943.” He implored their solemn attention to this Irish war song for tne year 1843. No ante-datiag— no attempt at concealment here =no veiling the murder- ous incentive under the thin disguise of an historical al- lusion—the date conspicuously attached— IRISH WAR 10NG, Bright sun, before whose glorio ‘Our Pagan fathers bent the knee; strong Ourmatro #” We swear before hi axon holds burst on the Roman foe, Flesh’d vengeance once in foreign field— On Clontart’s plain lay scached | Wh Seaking wield!

They remembered how Mr. O’Connell received the declaration of ministers that they would uphold the union—he of all others the most cautious of committing himself in his words—he who had boasted that througheut the long years of his life which had been spent in popular agitation, he had never been betrayed into the indiscretion of violating the law—yet he, this cautious man, thus publicly stated, | that though he would xot seek the conflict, he wae rea- | dy for it (hear, hear.) and that when it did come, va vic- tis would be the war cry (great cries of “ hear, hear.”) Some of his (Mr. Butt’s) friends did not understand Lat and he must translate this war cry for them. Poe vic! meant wo to the party who were conquered in the strife. Jentinued cries of “ hear, hear.”) Wo to the conquered as the warcry of Mr. O'Connell, and this was the gusg It was plain that Mr.’ O’Connell, with all nis coolness, with a his caution, admitted that he contemplated at least the possibility of a civil contest in Ireland, of which the war cry would beon the one side —wo tothe conquered. (Great cries of “hear, hear.”) | He (Mr. Butt,) was not now about to the language of excitement—he spoke with a solemn sense of the deep re= sponsibility that attached to the words he uttered—but in the deep conviction that the time was come when the Protestants and loyalists of Ireland must speak out. (Im- mense cheers) Mr. O’Connell spoke of his nine millions of Irishmen—two millions of these, on the very lowest calculation were Protestants—(immense cheers)—and of his remaining seven millions a great proportion would in a struggle join the loyulists of Ireland. (Continued “Tne Revewvrions oy Evrors.”—Under thie title, Dr. Taylor, the able and erudite author of the “ Natural History of Society,” has shown in a very agreeable aud instructive way, the manner in which modern society was framed from the ruins of ancient civilization. Amonget the notes appended to the volume, we find the following whimsical bal- lad on the resistance which the English priesthood opposed to the enforcement of the law of ec- libaey :— A synod straightway was convoked, somewhere beside the Humber, And thither flock’d a mighty orowd of priests beyond all number, Both shaven heads and shora crewns, and such monastic lumber ; But not a layman was allew’d the council to encumber. They met in thousands : as no house could give accom: modation, A level field both broad and wide they chose for their oucdaet was'balea ta leanne jar dean was voted to the chair eneral acclamation. And to his grieving brethran, then he made this Briel oration : “We've met together here, my friends, to save our dar- ling spouses ; Anuncio has just arriv’d to turn them from our houses I cannot speak, as this attempt sucl indignation ro It makes me mute as any ass on the hillside browses!” rounde Said, “ B: beer. bou: And Pl not wife, as you well know, my wishes have nded, Dananed. yield her to the laws this legate has pro- Our vicar took the second place,— you know he is no Spouter 5 But, il a battle’s to be fought, no champion can be stouter : Said he, “ You know I’ve got a wife : [cannot do without er: And that, my friends, is all the speech I mean to make about her.” A third priest then arose, and said, ‘I must confess with shame, sire! bahaae bi hundred eoncubines upon me had a eleim, sirs! But now I’m contented with a single buxom dame, sirs! And I would not for a purse of geld be parted from the same, sirs |” We like this plain, matter-of-fact ratiocmation. It’s infinitely more forcible than all the legic of the schoolmen. Fax River Surrerers.—We are pleased to see that the case of these unfortunate sufferers is at- tracting the sympathies of the people generally.— Meetings are being held in all our principal cities and towns, and contr‘butions and subscriptions are obtained. Where people have not money to give, but can make contributions of goods, &c., suitable preparations are made to take charge of the same. Never was a more suitable time to exercise the cha- rities of the Christian religion. The desolation which has o’erwhelmed the unfortunate suflerers, appeals to the heart of every man, and we are glad that the meeting held on Saturday last in our Ex- change in Wall street, promises to be so productive of the means to relieve their necessities. The committee which the meeting appointed are taking active steps and making well organised arrange- ments to give early aid; for to be efficient the assist- ance must be early. New York can surely do much in such a cause, and we doubt not her inhabitants will do that which is worthy of their well earned character for benevolence to suffering humanity. New Warvey.—The Hon. Fred. Robinson has been appeinted Warden to the State Prison at Charlestown. He 1s very highly speken of for his good qualities.

Dear Bennett :— The letter of your waggish correspondent Benc- dict, which appeared in the Herald of Tuesday last, has drawn upon him the severest threats of the p: ties thereia alluded to as the disappointed epplieants for the distinguished office of Attorney General for the United States. Luekily fer him, perhaps, that he has remained thus far “sub rosa,” where I hope he may continue, lest he might reviye some of the tragic scenes in ‘ Bombastes Farioso,” and disturb the gravity of our monumental eity. Luckilyfer Nel- son, too, that he held his commission frora the Pre- sident pripr to the publication of thatletter, er the circumstances of the ease, and the qualificationyot the baffled aspir: might bave been presented to the President, im a light altogether ruious to his prospects. z In the foremost rank of the threatening avengers may be seen the hero A. B., Esq. He expresses himself as being very much aggrieved by the false pei eon hey peo correspondest. He denies that he wasa candidate, upon the incontrovertible plea of his being a whig. He claims that he has loag since defined a position antagonistic to President Tyler; that the whole community knew the fact; aud therefore he vows vengeauce upon the head of poor Benedict, for thus daring to mark him as an apostate from his political creed. C. D., Esq., the well knownand talented secretary to any weeti! for whatever purpose you may start, wraps arou: him the aristocratic robes of bis high-bern genius, | and looks with scorn upon the impsachment. His present practiee at the bar, he saya, is teo valuable te be forleited for se inconsidegable an office es the one to which he was accused of aspiring. E.F., andG.

And why, forseotht I will venture to say that Bemediet has siniply ex- pressed the honest truth in the matier pending id that kis opinions will be endorsed by teur-fiit those in this community who read his let K. was at one time a whig, but more re defender of the Tyler faith.

New York Firemen.—Hope Fire Company, No. | 31, of thiscity, retuned from their visit to Phila- delphia on Saturday evening about 12 e’clock. | They were re. tive companies of our city, and escorted to their | quarters in West Broadway amid the blaze of | torches, the cheers of their friends, and the soul- stirring notes of Lothian’s New York Brass Band, which “ oft in the stilly night” has so often regaled j the ears of all who delight in strains of sweetest | music. The fine, or to use the words of a Phila. delphia contemporary, “the handsome, stalwart, | manly and active” appearance of the members of company 31, elicited the most flattering notices from all the prominent presses in Philadel; hia, and trast between the firemen of the two cities highly complimentary to all who can enjoy pleasure with- | Out extravagance, or excitement without excess. The new and beautiful engine of the company at- tracted universal admiration from citizens as well as firemen, and her working powers were brought into requisition at a large fire that took place in Tenth street on the Thursday evening alter their arrival. During the short stay of the company at Phila delphia, they were most sumptuously entertained by the members of the Hope Hose of that city, whose especial guests they were on the occasion, and also by the Humane Hose and Vigilant Engine Companies, who tendered invitations, concluding with repasts, that evinced a generosity of spirit, rarely if ever equalled among firemen. The mem- bers visited the Hall ot Independence, the United States Mint, Fairmount Water Works, and nume- rous other public institutions and public places. At the former they were received by Colonei Priee Wetherell, on behalf of the Common Council. Nine long, hearty, and enthusiastic cheers were given in the Hall of Independence for the heroes of the revo- lution, and the framere of that declaration thatled to its accomplishment. Lothian’s band then con- cluded wit ti the national airs of ‘ Hail Columbia” and “ Yankee Doodle,” and the company, with their escort, retired {rom the hallowed room, with feelings of patriotism known only to an American citizen. At 8 o’clock the company, by invitation of Cap- tain Devoe, of the steamboat “Hudson,” were en- tertained with a trip down the Delaware, along the whole front of the city, in view of the beautiful frigate Raritan, the ship house of the ‘‘Pennsylva- mia,” now food for wor s at Norfolk—thence up the Schuylkill to that romantic spot known as Grey’s ferry, rendered celebrated by ancient and modern reminiscences. Returning, an invitation to visit the Walnut street Theatre, (it being the benefit of Charlotte Cushman), was tendered, but with that city pride which always accompanies New Yorkers, the members refused a gratuitous in- vitation and deposited in the box office the neces- sary cool round sum to the credit of the fair and ta- lented beneficiare, asa tribute to New York talent and enterprise. Afterleaving the theatre they were entertained by the ladies of the Hope Hose Com- pany at the hospitable mansion of ‘Tue Becks,” in Second street, where sentiment, song, wit, spark- ling eyes, and champaigne, soul, heart and beauty were so intermixed and intermingled that little hours began to stike, and day began to dawn ere separation was the theme that aught had dreamt of. On Saturday, after & collation at that representa- tive of a Dutchman’s New Years table,given by the Vigilant Engine Company, the company was escor- ted to the foot of Walnut street, by a number of the “‘olways ready” Independents, from whence they took their departure homeward, amid the Joud long and enthusiastic cheers of their fellow-firemen of their neigh*or city. This visit has added lau- rels to the fame and eredit of company No. 31 of this city, whose courtesy, gentlemanly conduct, and efficiency of character, should be held up as exam ples for the consideration and imitation of all whe desire to see the high, prBud, and truly philanthropic name of “ Fireman,” eherished and respected as if should be by those for the preservation ef whore lives, fortunes, and safety, they nightly riak all that makes life valuable. aoeacemepeenaninnarine 9G Mr. Dempster is at Buffalo, giving concerts. several took this special occasion to draw a con- | cars is fixed atten dollars—in the second class, or accommodation cars, eight doilars.

To judge by rule, M’selle Calvé may have a competitor—te decide by feeling, none—she is always light and pleasing, and never degenerates into monotony. There is a substance in all she sings; she concentrates her energies pon a few bars, and succeeds in transfixing the attention of her auditors; she never strains after effect, beats eut her caderzas until they become as thin 48 | Green wow! leaf gold. Hereafter we shall always remesaber M’selle Calvé as one of the few finished artists 1t is the fortune of this hemisphere to meet with, atid as this isthe last time we are to hear her in * The Clerk’s Meadow,” we anticipate a crowd of ama- teurs of good musie well sung, will attend for # last souvenir d’ Isabella, Cuataam Tueatre. ers that this e~ening has been selected by Mr. Kir- by, the deservedly popular favorite at this house. to take a benefit.
