EW YORK HERALD. === = New York, Friday, July 21, 1843. Oy Allletiers on business with this office, and communications intended for insertion, must be addressed as heretofore to James Gorpon Bennett, editor and proprietor of the New York Herald. IRELAND AND HER Oppressons.—We have fre- queatly expressed our doubts as to the propriety of some of Mr. O’Connell’s movements, and in common with many of the best friends of Ireland we may not have been able to recognize, in all his ct, the clearest evidences of that rectitude of purpose which always illumines, with a lustre all iisown, every footstep of the true patriot. But the most devoted admurer of the “ Liberator,”—a title we willingly accord him,—cannot have a higher es- timate than we of the value of Mr. O’Connell’s ser- vices in the cause of Ireland and human liberty. the great struggle now going on in Ireland we are deeply interested, and we have no fears reepecting | the issue of that struggle. The signs of the times | are {all of encouragement to the friends of liber- ty. There is a growing and sirengthening ten- cond dency in the minds of the present generation to | cutat the very root of tyranny and oppression, and to break down those old aad evilly embattled bul- warks of persecution behind which the enemies of liberty and of the human race have been so long entrenched. Religious bigotry is gradually jailing dead before the advancing might of rea- son's onward progress, and man is no longer the wi'ling tool of the mitre or sceptre when either is united toabad or unholy cause. The tide of en- lightened civilization is seen sweeping in from every quarter, bringing with it ennobling ideas of haman priviliges, liberty and equality. Now a man crouching under the lash of the steel-hearted op- pressor, is not only a rare spectacle, but excites feelings of the deepest and most lasting indignation. e days, when the ground-kissing serf bent in lowly humiliation before the upstart pride and un- founded authority of his lordly master, have gone by, never again to return: a holier, a higher appre- ciation of human dignity and of human destiny has spread abroad, and will ultimately blot out from the earth every darkened trace of the despot’s des- troying inreads upon human rights. Education is rapidly repairing the injuries which ignorance had inflicted on the world, and the soul of man, instead of being treated as if but the mechanical spring of terrestrial life, is now universally regarded, as it should be,and dealt with accordingly,as an offshoot from that Great Power which has moulded out of nothing this beautiful globe into a visible embodi- ment, and has promissed man all the privileges, immunities and blessings consequent upon a para- disaical state of existence. Where is the human being with will, memory aad understanding, and who is conscious of holding communion with the Creator and ruler of all things, who comprehends his laws, his mercy and justice, as mirrored in the glorious works ot his hands; who understands the ends of his creation and the noble mission that has been divinely assigned to him while sojourning here below, can, for a moment, submit to be the Of the blessings arising trom our form of govern- ment than they ever possessed before. Yes, after reading the sad story of an gppressed land, and of the Persecutions of despotic power, this glorious republic, reared by the hands and consecrated with the blood of their forefathers, will rise before (heir eyes, like a pillar of light, to guide the nations of the earth in their progress to prosperity, liberty uad happiness. Disrmevisnep Pierims or Mopern Trus.—If we havn’t got in our day the adventurous knights, wandering minstrels, and distressed princesses of that “age of chivalry,” over whose departed glories, the classic Burke shed the tear ot regret, we have got a greet deal to make up for the loss, and reconcile us to the common place character of the day in which our lot has been cast. It is true, the wandering steel-clad race of Sir Launcelots end Sir Mortivers, have long since made a final exit ct from this sublunary scene ; but then, have we not ' got itinerating John Tylers and peripatetic Billy Bouck? And we think, after all, that the world is better off by the exchange. Aldermen and hotel Keepers, at ailevents, will vote in the affirmative. The pilgrimage of the “Captain” and thet of the “Governor” had a good deal in common. We do not mean that the pilgrims were put on ‘ short commons”—by no means—we merely intended to express the opinion, that their journeyings, recep- tions, and so forth were very similar. The com- parison might even be carried further, so as to em- brace the distinguished pilgrims themselves. As | nothing very particularly exciting, disturbs the sa- | pient public mind at present, and as we are in the humor, suppose we venture on this work of com- parison? Well. As the ‘‘Captain” is unwedded—except of course to the democratic party—we would not be justified in sayinga word about the physiognomy, extended and inviting asis the field of observation. Both of the pilgrims,however,are tolerably fair specimens of the race, and as long as there’s plenty like them,we need not fear that the cultivation of the ‘‘squash” genus will make much progress. in the private de- portmentof the pilgrims there is some difference. The Governor thinks much and speaks little—the “Captain,” on the contrary, speaks much aad thinks little, and who'can say which discovers the most good sense ? According to the very vulgar adage, it is probably six one way and half a dozen the other. ‘With regard to their social qualities, and their re- spective capabilities of enjoying the good things of this life, and contributing to the enjoyment of others, it is only necessary to remark, that ene is a pious | Virginian, and the other apious Dutchman. ‘To his Honor the Mayor, however, whose refined taste and experienced judgment in these matters, render him a most excellent authority, we beg to direct such enquirers as may feel disposed to examine more fully and critically this part of their character. But it is in their political character and position that those two worihies discover the most striking resemblance. They are both embraced in the arms of the democracy—-an embrace sometimes as agreeable as that of the mechanical statue of the Virgin in the halis of the {nquisitiun, whose arms could be made to hug so close, as very uncomforte- slave of human power—the play-thing of human oppression ? Doesnot every feeling of our nature rise indignantly against such a base prostitution of our manhood? The nations of the earth, like individuals, are stuvering the chains of their thraldom, and be- gining to move towards freedom and prosperity. ‘The dominion of the tyrant has pressed so heavily, that it must not only be mitigated, but even entire- ly destroyed Might, no longer able to wield the sword of extermination, yields quietly to the sway aad irresistible demands of right. The voice of humanity is heard through every avenue of so- ciety, and its requisitions of justice finda ready response in all hearts. The despot is hooted at ; the deep curses of the poor and weak follow him through all his windings, and embitter every mo- ment of his life. Statesmen, also, are becoming the able, willing and powerful advocates of the people—the unyielding and successful opporents of oppressors and their degrading minions. These are the prominent signs of the times, the strong and sizu ficant symptoms of the approaching liberation of mankind “Ireland and the Irish!” what a ‘painful subject for contemplation; what a dark and thrilling one, upon which to write a book! Mr. O'Connell, too, the author—a man of varied acquirements, of gi- Rantic intellect, of large and liberal views; a law- yer profoundly versed in the histories and laws of nations; gloriously identified with the advocacy o! repablican principles; a sworn and powerful bly to compress the riba of her unwilling admirers. The politieal influence of the “Captain” and the “Governor” are about ona par. Both are, how- ever, useful to “the party,” and are perhaps, after all, much more serviceable to the country than any of your noisy, vaporing, party hacks, or cunning, jesuitical, double dealing politicians, who are ready at all times to sell the liberties of their country for a mess of pottage. Furruer Particyiars or tue Fire at Sine Sin Paison.—We learn, that on the alarm being given, the inhabitants of the town tumed out to the num- ber ef five hundred, and, with their engine, repair- ed to the prisonto aid in subduing the fire, and to assist the authorities in preventing the escape of the convicts. The guards were doubled, and fora while, as may be suposed, the utmost alarm andjconfusion existed. The main building took fire at the roof, which is of shingles, nearly a dozen times, and re- quired the very greatest activity to stay the progress of the flames. About five hundred of the convicts were released from their cells to aid in the work as firemen, and to their energy and williugness the safety of the entire prison is mainly to be attributed Some ofthe refractory aud most hardy fellows kept the guards in constant exercise by throwing them- selves off the dock, and swimming about into the river, as if beut onescape; tbut the levelled musket was rather too close and,ready to brave its summons by teo venturesome asiroke; and it is a matter of the utmost surprise, that in the confusion, the noise, the flocking together of all sorts of men and charac- enemy cf despotism and oppression—a man who has devoted a long life to the service, interests and amelioration of his native land and her impover- ished aud manacledchildren! He, too, so well ac- quainted with her past and present history—so feel- ingly alive to her condition and wants—so familiar with every pulsation of her broken and time-honor- ed heart—so wedded to her soil and institutions— such a bitter hater and scourger of her ferocious iless persecutors! does he set ferth his object in »wing words: ** To provoke the inquiry and tofacilitate the comprehension of the facts of Irish history, I h drawn up this memoir. | have ar- ranged it by chronology, in such 4 manner as to bring out in masses the iniquities practised by the goverament upon the Irish, with the full ap- , or at least entire acquiescence of the Bri- ¢. Iam very desirous to have it unequi- vocally understood that one great object of mine is to iavolve the people of England in much—in very of the guilt of their government. If the Eng- h people were not influenced by a bigotry, violent isunjust, against the Catholic religion on the and, and strong national antipathy on the oth- er, the government wouldmot have so long perse- vered in its course of injustice and oppression. The bad passions of the English people, which gave an evil strength to the English government for the op- pression of the Trish, still subsist, little diminished, and less mitigated.” How true, how melancholy true, all this. Yes, Mr. O'Connell, you were unwilling, and justly so, thatthe sad and painful story of Ireland’s past and present wrongs should be unrelated by you—that it should not reach every and the farthest portions of the earth, that every passing wind should not trane- port it trumpet-tongued to stranger ears—that it should remain shut up within the narrow bounda- ries of one nation. How natural is this—how truly in accordance with the fondest desires of the heart Who can be dead to the voice of one’s native land? Who can remain unmoved, while the blighting footsteps of the destroyer is on her fair soil? Who can remain indifferent while one’s countrymen, perh)s the companions of our youth, the friends of our maturer yeara, are writhing beneath the crue! lash of the oppressor ? ve, 1172, of Englieh dominion in Ire- lane, up to the present, her course has been one of toll From the ti crime, oppression and bloodshed. She has violated her treaties, trampled upon justice and right, laughed at the eufferiags of the indigent, and prostituted her power tothe worst and most atrocious of purposes. She bas punished industry as a crime, has enforced ignorance by penal |2ws, has prevented the acquisi- tion of knowledge, the accumulation of property; hae caused the most solema contracts to be broken; ters, not a single convict contrived to, pass,the limits and escape. The loss issupposed'to amount to over $60,000. Alter the fire was got underthe convicts were all reassembled and merched back to their celle, and as if by preconcerted plan, they came forward to the door and gave nine loud cheers forthe Whigs! Itis said that the building shook with the loud huzzas,and the citizens were alarmed for the safety of the keep- ers. This single fact shows the cause of the calamity, and of the numerous complaints made and reitera- ted in the public journals almost daily. There is something wrong in the administration of the prison discipline under the new regime—and enquiry and strict investigation into the method of punishment is necessary to satisfy the public that gross tyranny is not attributable to the keeper and his assistants. It is only a merciful interposition of Divine Providence which has saved them from being sacrificed en the spot ; for had that fire broken out while the gange were at work, no force of armed guards could have stayed the purpose of revenge. Let the investiga- tion be speedy and thorough. ‘Tue Frexcu Transatiantic Steamsuirs.—Our readers are already aware that New York has been selected by the French Government as the destina- tion on this continent of their line of splendid steam packets. They will sail from ilavre de Grace on the 7ch and 2lst of every month, and will thus bring us the Jatest intelligence from the continent of Eu rope, and all also of general importance from Great Britain in advance of the Boston steamers. The arrangements intended to be made by the proprietor of this paper, when perfected, will enable us to dis- tance all ourcontemporaries in the publication of the news brought by these French steamshipe. The establishment of this new line of steamships will be the formation of another link of connexion between the old world and the new. Every day is bringing them closer together; and thus it is all over the world. The power %of steam is annihilating time and space—uniting the most distant mations in the bonds of commercial intercourse, and spreading far and wide the blessed fruits of religion and civili- zation. Generat Casa’s Oration.—On occasion of the celebration of the completion of the Wabash and Erie Canal, General Cass delivered a very eloquent oration. A copy of it, which was furnished for pub- lication in compliance with the request of the edi- tors, has reached us. Asa literary effort, it is high- ly creditable to its distinguished author, and the spirit of devoted and enlightened patriotism which it breathes throughout, is such as could emanate only from a true American heart. Cass is going ahead, and will give his rivals plenty of work by and bye has peuetrated into domestic life; arrayed husband ost wife, wife against husband, and children egainet their parents, by bribes, intimidation, and eocrcion. [tas to an exposé of these deeds of crime that Mr. O'Connell has devoted hie work. He has sketched the whole with @ pen at once graphic, elo- quent and powerful, and has furnished a corrobora- tion of them in a series of extracts taken from the writings of Protestants and the enemies of Ireland. Let our countrymen read this book—let them ponder ilove and seriously upon its contente—let th iv it carefally—let them give up their minds ‘ ‘ng Bad sorrowful narrative, ag a Fatunnx or tur Matts.—The late failures in the arrival of the Southern mail are now ascertained to have been inconsequence of the excessive heat of the weather. On onejroute alone (3294,) between Columbus and Georgia, seven of the horses gave out entirely, being completely exhausted—two of them dying before taking them from the harness. ‘Tnx Pitot or THe CoLumBia.—The Boston M Journal has information that ne pilot came up in the Oaledonia from Halifax. Capt Stairs, who wasthe ile: onboard the Columbia at the time she wae (, waa by affected by the wecident as to ceome tueu they will wake to @ fuller and deeper sense | deranged, and be unavle to return in the Caledonia. Tur Last Row amone tue Docrons.—We made 2 simple announcement of the fact that at the last meeting of the Medical Society of this county, & resolution repealing the act which conferred the de- gree on Habneman was passed. As the matter has created a very considerable excitement in the me- dieal world, and among the numerous adinirers of Hahneman here, we feel called on to present a full statement of all the facts in the case, accompanying the narrative with such remarks as may in our judg- ment be necessary and justifiable, Our statement of the facts, we give on the authority of one of the most respectable and talented members of the So ciety. Eleven years ago Hahneman was elected, after two months public notice, ou honorary member of the Medical Society of this county. The meeting at which this election was held, was attended py about sixty physicians. Objection was made by @ member, and a tair discussion ensued. Hahne- man’s title to the honor was defended by the presi- dent of the society, who stated that he had just finished the perusal of one of the candidates’ latin works, containing,in addition to the peculiar views of the author, abundant proof of his very great pro- fessional and classical erudition. The work cited by the president is entitled ‘*Fregmenta de vocibus medicamentorum positivis, ete.,” and waspublished thirty-eight years ago. After the president’s de- fence of Hahneman, which, without professing the slightest adhesion to homapathia, was spirited and unanswerable, the ballot box was passed to the members, all of whom voted affirmatively, except- ing one. Soon after this act the diploma was fur- nished by the Tat and corresponding secretary, and forwarded by Dr. John F. Gray to Hahneman, who acknowledged its reception in an eloquent let- ter, containing a high compliment to the institu- tions of this republic. Such is the entire history of the transaction which has furnished a pretext for an unparalleled act on the part of some twenty- eight or thirty medical men who happened to re~ main at the last meeting of the County Medical So- ciety after its proper business, the election of offi- cers for the ensuing year, was finished. Dr. Manly then proposed a resolution rescinding or repealing the resolution by which this honerary membership was conferred. As if a resolution of any kind could repeal or annul an election by ballot; and especially one tendered without previous notice, without color of preceden!, and without authority express or im- plied in the bye laws of the society! As far as the validity ot Hahneman’s membership is concerned, this resolution is worse than respectably nugatory; it is contemptibly impotent. . Of the small number who voted on this disorderly proposition, two recorded their negative ; and this circumstance is cunningly paraded inthe annony- mous print of the transaction, so that the public may suppose that only two members of the society were oppesed to its passage, whilst itis well kaown in the frofesaion, that there are nearly thirty ho- mepathic physicians in the city, and that that number is increasing. if Dr. Manly had tendered a resolution condemnatory of Hahneman’s mode of choosing and applying remedies to the sick, or one saying hard things of homeepathy, it would have passed at that or any other meeting of the society, with the most hearty concurrence of a large ma- jority of the profession here and elsewhere, and no omespathist could feel that the act was either dis- orderly, as it respects the rules of that society, or the common usages of learned bodies. But to at- tempt the revocation of an honor conferred un- sought upon a man, who had attained a high rank as a writer onthe materia medica more than half a century ago, and to attempt an act so nearly affect- ing the reputation of the society without notice, and when not one twelfth of its ordinary members was Present, cannot be regarded with approbation even 'y those of his allopathic brethren, who are as eager as the mover of the act is to do something to sup- press the new mode of practice. This kind of pro- ceedure must certainly deteat its object. It can not impress the public so forcibly against Hahneman as might be wished, that his apponents are willing atone time to applaud him in the strongest manner possible, and at another without any intervening change of conduct or principles on his part, to cover his name with an infamy which has no parallel in the annals of a querulous profession. It was as- serted at the time that this novel resolution was under consideration, that the members ot the so- ciety were ignorant of the peculiar character of Hahneman’s writings aud mode of practice. This is certainly an error, because the subject was dis- cussed as intelligibly then as it couldbe now. Be- sides, Hahneman’s biography haa been published in- the Encyclopedia Americana a year before he was elecied; Hafeland’s Journal, and many other Eu- ropean edie peran, had, for twelve of fifteen bad contained many articles on Hahneman and OR ERSAY Spon friendly and some inimical to oth. Again—it was averred in support of the motion that the members of the society were ignorant of the character of the man upon whom they were conferring the henor, that there was a mistake in the name onthe record. However this may be, we have been informed on the best authority, that the diploma was filled out “ dominum Sam fahne- man, auclerem homaopathia,” signed by the Presi. dent, the late Dr. Peixotto; the foreign secretary, the late Dr. Ackerly; and countersigned by the re- cording secretary, Dr. Walsh, with the seal of the society attached. There was no mistuke, therefore, in the case, other than the clerkly error in maktog the minute of the name. A large number of those who conferred the honor are deceased, but there are survivors eaough to substantiate the facts as thus stated beyond a possible cavil; and their truth being admitted, there is no imaginable pretext suffi- ciently strong to protectthe act of insurgent repeals ea the derision which must adhere to it while it lasts. Somernine More ror tag Fourieritss.—The following communication ends all we have got to say on the matier. As it speake for itself,we add not a syllable of comment :— Da. J. A. Houston :-—~ Deax Sin, Asa matter of justice to you, and withoutthe slightest solicitation on your part, I am induced to make the follow- ing statement. You will remember that ina conversation with you about the time Dr. Beecher’s sermon was pub- lished in the Herald, I remarked that ‘I would give you something by way of reply, which if mot as reasonable and logical asthe sermon, would be very eloquent.” | occupied a re moment in transcribing the portion of the article as published by you, and upon which the charge of plagiarism is made. ‘The alterations in the article noticed by your cotempo- rary of the Tribune, were made by me. I'am induced to send you this note, because I perceive that there are those «ho profess to believe that the arti- cle on the drama, was concocted by some one connected with the Herald newspaper. You lish this letter for the satisfaction of any on Satisfied with the explanation you have already made. ‘W. GRANDIN. am, &c. 60} Warren street, July 20, 1843. Tria, ror Emsezziement.—The Boston papers say that the trial of William Wyman, late Presi- dent of the Phenix Bank, Charlestown, indicted for embezzling the funds of that institution, will take place next month at Concord, Judge Allen,of Wor- cester, presiding. It is said that the prisoner will be defended by Daniel Webster, Rufus Choate, Franklin Dexter, and Sidney Bartlett. Tria FoR Murper.—The trial of Abner Ro- gers for the murder of the late warden of the Mas- sachusetts State Prison, will take place on Monday next.

Arrivat.The Influenza orrived at St. Louis on Siturdey the 8th inet Hagine—The Influenza,in New, Orleans, Poskyism Parisu Meetine.—Io the present po- sition of ecclesiastical affairs in England, as well as in this country, the public should be in possession of all the facts that reach ua on tne important doc- trinal pointe that at this moment agitate the Episeo- pal Church, her forms, ordinances, homilies, and fundamental articles. The following is a specimen of the outburst of feelings that was exhibited in one section of that politically and religiously distracted country:— : On Friday, pursuant to the following requisition, a meeting of the parishioners was held in the church of St. Leonard’s, Shoreditch: — We the undersigned request the churchwardens to call a public meeting of the vestry te consider the propri- ety of petitioning the Bishop of London fur the appoint ment of twe curates (not Puseyites) to do duty at Shore. ditch during the permitted absence ef the vicar, so that the remnant of the eongregation may be retained, who have been induced in Meetadenon thereof to quit. Mr. Collier, the senior churchwarden, took the chair, and after considerable discussion, the follow- ing resolution was agreed to :— That this public meeting deeply deplores the desertien of the parish church of St. Leonard, Shoreditch, by the congregation ; and atthe same time views with abhor. rence the cause, nemely, the idolatrous worship intro- duced there by the Rev. Thomas Simpson Evans; and still persisted in and more iniquitously carried out by his satellite, the Rev. Edward Wix Mr, G. Pearce then moved that a memorial, em- bodying the resolution, be transmitted to the Bishop of London forthwith. Mr. Metealfe seconded the motion, which was unanimously adopted. Thanks having been voted to the churchwarden, the meet ing broke up The Puseyite Controversy. Mn. Epirorn— In answer to the question of “Clericus Hibernicus,” contained in yours of today, I would beg leave to say that there is no actual signing of the thirty-nine articles practised in the American Episcopal Church, in connex- jon with the ordination of Deacons and Priests. What is understood by “the vow” taken at ordination may be known from the following question and answer prescri- bed in the rubric. Question by the Bishops—Will you then give your foitnful diligence alwi so to administer the doctrine and sacraments, and the discipline of Christ, as the Lord hath commanded, and as thisChurch hath received the same, according to the commandments of God; so that you may teach the people committed to your care and cea, with all diligence to keep and observe the same Answer—I will so do, by the help of the Lord. _This implies conformity and obedience to the autho- rized declarations of the faith of the Church,among whic are the thirty nine articles. Aen you will find “The Articles” in the Prayer Bool, adopted by the ecclesiasti- eal authority of the American Branch of the Church in the year 1901. The real parties concerned can feel no desireto be re. leased from a responsibility,that of conformity to the pro- mulgated creed of the Church, which every laymen and especially every candidate for Holy Orders, gladly, and without ‘mental reservations or private exceptions” as- sumes. I the above explanation furnishes ‘“‘a leader” such as “Clericus Hibernicus” desires, we may anticipate from him further comment, which willia no way ane irk- some china able ofanswer to. ORTHODOX. july 19, Canapa Seat or Government.—The Canada pa- pers, in accordance with their respective local inte- rests, are again agitating the subject of removing the seat of government from Kingston to Montreal. The Kingstonians are of course violent against the removal, and the Montrealese aseager for the mea. sure. The latter claim that the removal is certain- ly to be effected. D’Orsay anv Biessinaton.—The statement of the arrival of these distingues wasa silly hoax, got up by the Boston Times. We are assured by a gentle- man passenger in the Caledonia that there isno truth in the story. Nobody hereabout needed that assu. rance, however. Dr. Pusgy’s Sermon.—We are indebted to our friend, Mr. Sparks, at the ‘‘Churchman” office, 109 Nassau street, for a copy of his well printed edi- tion of this celebrated sermon, which has occasioned such a commotion among the churchmen of Eng- land, and we are gratified to perceive that the pub- lisher, though so early in the field, hastaken care to present the public with a perfect edition, the ori- ginal pretace, notes and appendix being given with- out the slightest curtailment. This discourse will undoubtedly be read universally, and it requires to be deeply pondered upon, as it contains a mass of erudition and research which is not often exhibited in a single discourse. We recommend an early application, and an immediate and attentive peru- sal of this striking document. Buacxwoop.—Mr. Winchester, at the New World office, 80 Ann street, has issued with great promptitude, the July number of Blackwood’s Ed- inburg Magazine. We have had time scarcely to more than look at i's contents, among which we notice asevere review of the “ Past and Present,” of Carlyle, a work distinguished for its iucompre- hensible transcendentaliem. Part two of the ably written and powerfully interesting tale of ‘* Mare- ton,” is given with many capital articles. A great magazine is thissame Blackwood, and very cheap at 18 pence a copy. Srorpani's Batus.—A new attraetion has been added to Broadway in the manificent bath-house, just erected by Mr. Stoppaui, a gentleman long and favorably known to our citizens. The elegance and admirable arrangement of this splendid establish- ment can be equalled only by the most fashionable Parisian bath houses. Each bath-room is an ele- gant little parlor, well lighted and ventilated, and presenting every imaginable facility tor enjoying to the fulles: extent the luxury of a bath. The apart- ments for the ladies are fitted up with the greatest taste and jadgment, and cannot be surpassed for elegance and comfort. The female attendants are exceedingly attentive, and cannot fail to give uni- versal satisfaction to all the fair patrons of the esta- blishment. The experienced judgment of Mr. Stop- pani has enabled him to introduce several important improvements in the construction and appliances of the baths. We were about to say something of the decorations of the place, but as every body is pay- ing Stoppani a visit, we are saved the trouble ef ad- ding another word. Nisto’s—Donnizetri’s New Orzra.—Never were the profession-qualifications of M’eelle Calvé so se- verely tested as in the new military opera of La Fille du Regiment.given at the Garden on Wednes- day last. “Applause” is an inadequate term; “vehe ment cheering,” rewarded this truly talented Prima Donna. Her martial song in the 2d act was delivered with a truth, spirit and effect that perfectly electri- fied the audience. fhe most ardent admirers of her singing were equally astonished at her acting. ‘The best result of the impression she created will be found in the crowded Saloon to-night when this truly superior Opera will be repeated. Mr. Blés shone conspicuously in the compound music, but afier M’selle Calvé, came that excellent artiste Ma- dam Mathieu. Her acting at the piano, where she rea'ly accompanies (on the piano forte) Marie’s choice morceau, drew forth repeated rounds of ap- plaase. Her imitations of the antiquated style of performiag on that instrument wae excessively amusing. Young Richer appeared to greater advan- tage than usual. Indeed the whole Opera is excel- tently well produced, and reflects the greatest cre- dit on Mons. Prevor Cuatiam Tukatre —This house was filled last evening on the occasion of the opening, and the performances went off with great spirit, and to the entire satisfaction of the audience. Mrs. Lewis repeats her performance to-night of the French Spy, and Mr. J. Greene makes his appearance as Murtoch Delany, in the Irishman in London; and in the concluding piece—The Maid of Munster— Mrs. G. Jones plays Kate O'Brien.

Faavp.—Officer Davis arrested on beneh warrant Jacob F. Meyer alias Krazman, his wife, Louisa Meyer, and a third person, named Valerie De Roi, on the com- plaint of William Rischmiller, No. 109 Cedar street, who has beco most singularly duped and defrauded by them. ‘The parties are German, aud met the complainant at a boarding house in Pearl street, where, finding him rather credulous, they forged checks, purporting to be of depo- site of large amounts in several banks in Germany, and 0 successful were they, thatwe learn that Rischmiller entered into partnership with them, and advanced them $500, as a portion of the stock to be paid by them. This effected, they gave him sundry letters of credit, powers of agency, and forged checks, and dispatched him to Europe to collect the scattered funds, in order to purchase goods suitable for the American market, and to carry out the objects of the partnership, he sailed, arrived, opened his negotiations in bright hope, but his visions of golden schemes—of Havre packets lade with French goods, and Garman wares, consigned to Messrs. Rischmiller, Meyer and De Roi, New York, was suddenly withered by the astounding information, that every letter, check, and draft were forgeries, and further, that the characters of the New York partners were as notorious in theirown country as they are likely to become inthis. Every per- son had been cheated by them, and all egreed in acknow- Jedging them the most adroit and unprincipled of swind- Jers, knaves, and scoundrels. In England the same news awaited him—so he posted back as fast as possible, but only in time to find his furniture, goods, wardrobe, linen, books, &c., beyond his reach by an auctioneer’s hammer. He was indeed surprised, but @ greater surprise awaited him; for at the very first interview they acknowledged the fraud and deception, and laughed at histhreats oflaw, satisfaction, and Sing Sing quarters. They are wow in the Tombs awaiting the course of the law, which may probably change the matter, and surprise them by result. ing in a conviction for forgery and fraud. Fause Paerences.—Yesterday officer Baker arrived from Delhi, Delaware county, having in custody the per- son of Lyman Knowles, merchant of that place, who was arrested on Sunday evening on a bench warrant issued out of the Court of Sessions, on a bill of indietment found by the Grand Jury of the July term, en the complaint of John L. Gieb, importer of fancy goods at No. 17 Cedar Street, who was induced during the spring business to give acredit of over $620 worth ot goods to Mr. Knowles onthe representations made by him as to his property and liabilities, Such representations Mr. Gieb ascertain. ed to have been made in bad fvith, and with a full kno: ledge of their untrvth, es he since learned that about tl time of purchase, Mr. Knowles had made over, or exe- cuted abillof sale of the property to his brotheria-law to prevent his creditors from reaching it. Also that Mr. Knowles was more indebted than he gave Mr. Gieb rea- son to suppose when he became his creditor. Qn these grounds thearrest was ordered, and Mr. Knowles com- mitted. During the day, however, we learn, that he was admitted to bail before the Recorder in the sum of $1000, and denies in toto the allegations contained in Mr. Gieb’s compl int, which he characterises as false and mali cious. Ropsery ix Cepar street.—On Saturday last, a young man of respectable appearance entered the store of Messrs Granger & Schenk, importers of palm leaf hats, straw goods. kc. at No 66 Cedar street, in the absence of the principals, and occupied the attention of the clerk in pri- cing some palm leaf hats, who supposing he was about to purchase to some extent, asked him to walk upto these- cond story and examine the stock there, meanwhile John McGuire, the companion of the pretended purchaser, whose name is Francis Bisby, entered and at once pro- ceeded tothe iron the eoast being perfectly clear, and with the blade of a penknife forced down the belt of the drawer lock and tra ed to his pocket a due bill cket book, containing several notes of different credi- ‘ors, for various sums, and at short dates, but none due, smountiug in all to $2500—also about $25 in bills of the Union Bank, and $2 60 in silver change, and then return- edthe drawerto its place. Bisley declined purchasing, and promising a call at some later day, left the store and Joined McGuire, who waited for him at the opposite side of the street. T joment the loss was discovered, sus jicion fell on Bisby, and information was given at the Po lice office with a full description ef the party. The case was entrusted to officer W. H. Stephens, whose efficiency in ferreting out such matters is well understood in the department. Yesterday he succeeded, after a hard and closely followed up search, and secured both Bisby ond McGuire, at the Dry Dock. He also recovered every no! taken, and some few of the dollar bills. The parties are fully committed for trial. Enpeavonine 4 Bunctary.—On Tuesday night the house of Mrs. Gold Hoyt, in Park place, on the corner of Church street, during the absence of the family in the country, was entered by some persons by forcing open the rear basement windowsin the passage leading into Church street, but no property was removed. On Wed- nesday two members of the family visitedthe house tor the purpose of obtaining some articles which were requir- ed during the stay at the country house, but finding the premises had been entero! they left every thing as it was, particularly noticing two umbrellas in the ha'l stand.— This was about ten o’clock in the morning, at five o’clock same evening they again visited the house, but found one of the umbrellas missing, which satisfied them that others beside the family nad entered, so information was given, da watch set to cae the place. About halfpast eight me night, Mr. William Redmond, oi No. 43 Barclay st., a relative of Mrs. Hoyt’s family, was leo if id he observed two men standing at the iron gate le the passage, one of them making efforts to open it obtained assistance and arrested them onthe spot. Their names are John Trout and Fraacis Minugh. Tr: in reply to Mr. Redmond, said he wanted to see his sister Sarah, one of the domestics, but could not tell whether she was the cook or chambermaid. They were commit- ted to the tombs for examination, and there is no deubt but they are the parties who had previously been ma- king @ —. of the interior. It is to befeared that the evisence will not be sufficiently strong to procure a con- viction for burglary. Rossery sy two Necroes.—About four o’clock on Tuesday morning, Johs Kenay, of No. 106 Mulberry street, while passing along Orange street near the Five Points, met two negroes, and inquired of them the way to wi Street. After a consultaton they agreed to show him the place he desired te go to, and they proceeded to- getheron the way. He asked t! to drink with him, and entered a cellar, where they each drank four tim The two negroes then commenced a sort of sham fight, into which they contrived to haul Kenny, whom they beat ‘most brutal manner, and with the connivance of James ODonnel, the bar keeper, also a negro, they robbed him of $23 in gold and silver coin, and thea de- camped Information was given at the Police Office, and O'Donnel was arrested and committed as an abettor of robbery.

Duriog Myers’ absence, Kinraid pryed off the lid of his chest with an ivory pricker, such as is used by sailors, and stole the money, $11 in bills and sil- ver, together with agold broach. Suspicion fell on Kin- raid, and his trunk was searched, but no money or broach there; but on comparing the marks on the lid with the ivory pricker. they were found to agree exactly, and on this evidence Kinraid was fully committed for trial. Steatixo sy tHe Way.—As Francis McLaughlin was passing along Pearl street by the wareheuse of A. D. Moore, No. 301 Psarl, he slyly slipped bencath his coat a ream of foolscap worth $1 50, from a pile which was pla- cedatthedoor.

Woodruff w: power of sttorney to draw the notes in question, and do other business im the defendant’s absence, but Leoni learnt that the remittances which Le sent home were not plied to business purposes, and that the concern was volved in debt tothe amount of some $7,000. He re- ted the pay ment of these notes, and it was contended that a secret partnership existed between the defendant id Woodruff, snd on that ground it was urged that the action must fail, as both partes had not been sued.
