NEW YORK HERALD. ( Aliletters on business with this office, and yommunications intended for insertion, must be cddreased as heretoiore to James Gorpon Bennett, ditor and proprietor of the New York Herald. Iwrontanr Norick.—Our country subsenbers will please take notice that when trey reesive their papers in a yellow wrapper, the term of their sub- ecription is nearly run out. eenetete ae Trier Orrick Hotpers.—The bow:string hae been at work in our Custom-house, and the defunct offict-holders have been succeeded by others, who will remain zealous Tylerites as long as they re- main in receipt of the emoluments of office. But while the authorities at Washington, at whose in- stance these chenges are made, thus seek to Tyler- ise the public offices by such arrangements amongst the subordinates, the leaders and principals place he tip of their right thumb on the extremity of a Prominent feature, and with their sinister digets make « well knowngyration, which has great power sion. Mr. Speacer has very strong percep» wers, and it is just possible that he may see ullimarely, that Co give the patronage of the offices here to the Courier and Enguirer, and some other ournals of like eharacier, may be a questionable mode of sustaining the administration of which he forms so prominent a part. True, Mr. Collector Curtis does not give any printing to the Courier and I rer, or to James Watson Webb, or Thomes owden—ch no, not he—but with the atorede- scribed gyration he can patronize Ben Bourgecise, or Bill Cannon, who possesses just type sufficient to eet up anclection ticket, and if James W. Webb should by some accident d> the printing, why it is nobody’s business, for the Collector of course is innocent of any such arrangement. We have heard some statements of responsible offers being made for the printing at a diminished rate than that now paid—made by parties though, who were less distin- guished for that peculiar support of the government, and of Mr. Spencer in particular, which charac- ter aes the Courier—and of the offer being received with a significant smile at the simplicity of the ver- dant typo, and a superlatively significant gyration.

An attack was momentarily expected From Curva —-Some news from China, though not quite so late as has been heretotore received, we find in the Boston Advertiser. The steamer Vixen, from Bombay and Singa- pore, having on board Lieutenant Colenel Malcolm, with the ratification of the treaty, arrived at Hong | Kong on the 16th,and at Macao on the 18th of April. Heinling, a Chinese Lieutenant General, arrived at Macao from Canton, accompanied by Woo, Teein, and Chang Paniung, and had an interview with Sir Henry Pottinger. The object of his visit was said to be to dissuade Sir Henry from his in- tention of proceeding to the northward, on the arrival of Lieutenant Colonel Malcolm, it being probable that the Commissioner Keying would have set out for Canton, immediately on hearing of the death of Eleepoo, and that the business would be whig ranks. Here are a body of foreigners come into the country to settle, but carry their predelictions for the land of their birth, or “fatherland,” to such an extent, as to sustain a paper to “watch” over its interests. This ‘‘Watchman’’ discovers in a cer- tain set of men, views, which, under a desceptive name, favor the interests of the “father” land to the disparagement of that of their adoption. The Courier then “significantly” tells the foreigners that when they are fully acquainted with the ob- jects of the party, they will ail supportthem. The persons who thus boldly avow treasonable motives, call themselves Americans. A Mysterious “TrRanger.—An unusual flutter. ing has been observable during some past days at Rockaway amongstelderly matrons with undisposed of daugkters, and young ladies to whom even a plain husband with a handsome settlement would be very far {rom disagreeable. The dear mammas have drilled their dutiful daughters into the most attrac- tive demeanor, and the young ladies have obedient- ly resorted to their most fascinating blandishments —but wherefore, enquires the important reader? Why, a stranger has appeared amongst them who omits no opportunity to announce that he is nephew of the great Baron Rothschild, consequently as wenithy as Cresus, besides being agent for the house of the Baron at New Orleans, and the great- est exporter of tobacco in the United States. Some young ladies whose tempers some revilers have represented as containing a large admixture of the juice of the lemon, have suddenly became sweeter than the honey-comb; and some antiquated spingters have marvellously recovered the verdure ot yoathfulores.

Ex-Paxsipent ApaMs—This venerable states men and orator was expected to arrive in Albany on Monday afteraovun, and preparations were made ve him a puble rece, retarded rather than expedited by Sir Henry’s pro- ceeding, as he had proposed, to Shanghae. It was in consequence determined by Sir Henry to await the arrival of Keying, and it was expected that the ratifications would be exchanged at Hong Kong. Sir Henry Pottinger had applied to the home goverement for hi srecall, and had expected to hear by the January mail of the appointment of a succes- sor, but the goverament had beengunwilling to dis- pense with his services, and he would accordingly remain some time longer in China. It was said that the supreme control over the whole of the British naval and military force in China, was to be placed in his hands. U.S Suir Consteiation, Macao Roaps, Aoril, 1843. Since I last wrote, Commodore Kearney has ad- dressed a communication to the Viceroy of Canton relative to American claims and interests, and sub- sequently had a personal interview, it is said, with the Kwhan chou foo The Viceroy guaranteed that an indemnity for the losses of our citizens in the riot of last Decem- ber should be paid in three months. The Hong merchants had previously named four, but their pro- posale were made in so vague a manner that the gentlemen interested were apprehensive that an at- tempt might be made to evade the claim altogether, particularly as that body is about to be dissolved agreeably to the provisions of the late treaty. The Viceroy, we understand, assures the Commodore of the continuance of the friendly feelings towards the United States which he had expressed on a for- mer occasion, inquires what privileges we desire, and informs him that he has already written to the Emperor upon the subject of American commerce, and that on the receypt of inetructions, he would probably be able to meet him personally. Another communication from the Commedore to the Viceroy is now in the hands of the translator, to be tor warded through the local Chinese authorities at this place, the tenor of which has not yet become public. lt is understood that the Commodore, not being tully authorized as a diplomatic agent, and not hav- ing received the instructions requisite from his Go- vernmentin such a capacity, and having already protracted bisstay until the term of enlistment of @ large proportion of the crew is nearly expired, pro- poses to sail for the United States in a few da: itis not impossible that new circumstances may arise to modi'y his movements. On our arrival, should it not have been done pre- viously, as is certainly to be hoped, we trust that, if the facts are as we believe, the Government will at once see the expediency of sending out a suita- ble diplomatic agent duly appointed and instructed to negotiate with the highest suthorities ot the Em- pire, for such commercial and other privileges as we believe would now be accorded. We learn that Captain Belcher, late of the Sulpha surveying ship, has been ordered by her Majesty’s Government to make a survey ofthe Japanese coastsand seas. We know personally Capt. Bel- cher to be a daring, and in some respects a reckless mao, and itis by no means improbable that uniess special pains are taken to prevent it, the contempla- ted survey may lead to hostilities between her Ma jeaty’s Government and Japan. It would be well tor whatever public agents our Government may think proper to send out a8 our successors, to be properly instracted in view of any contingency that may urise—it might be done in 4 general way, with- out interfering atall with tue policy or operations of Great Britain. The ratification of the treaty with China, on the part of her Majesty’s Government, arrived at Hong Kong on the 16th ultimo, and the exchange of rati- | fications, which is necessarily postponed for the pre- | sent, in consequence of the decease of Elepoo, (Ile- | pv) will take place on the arrival of Kehying, | (Ky’ying,) Viee Roy of Liang Kirong, who, I am | told, has without doubt been appointed ere this, to | succeed to the office of Special High Commis- sioner. | Fravps upon Immigrants.—It will be perceived from a number of documents published in our ad- vertising columns that the statement relative to al- ledged misconduct and fraud, on the part of the agents of the association for the protection of immi- grants are untrue. The association isahighly me- ritorious one, and if its aflairs be properly managed, it will achieve an incalculable amount of good. “Wie you see THE Puavers weil Bestowrn?» —The sage and liberal members of the Corporation of Montreal have given us their commentary on this text. Poor Nickinsoa, who has been managing the theatre there with indifferent success, applied to them for a remission of the fine imposed upon thea- trical performances, but was refused—the Corpora- tion being determined to wring from him the “ut termost farthing,” even though he and his company should be obliged to starve. The people of Montreal more just and liberal, were getting up a cemplimen- tary benefit to Nickinson. Fire Worns —Edge, the celebrated Pyrotech. nist of Niblo’s and Castle Garden, intends giving the citizens and visitors of Saratoga Springs one of the most brilliant and magnifieent displays of Fire Works ever exhibited in this part of the country in the course of thie week {ie isthe man to do it, aod will astoaish thejnauves Unrrep States Horst, NITED Saves Sanato@a Ser nday, A. M. Re Talay aa. Mx. Eprror:— Thave usually despatched my communications at 5P. M. But to-day I must send by the one o’clock mail. The mails here are very badly arranged, there being no possible means, short of running an express, of getting a letter from Saratoga to Albaay in the morning, in season for the day boats. This, of course, occasions a delay of nearly a whole day. The weather here has become quite cool, and to- day there is a dull, drizzling rain, which easts a shade even over the gaities of Saratoga; especially when you recollect that to-day is Sunday, and therefore the ordinary amusements of the place are ina state of suspense. Several excursions were janed out for this afternoon, but the rain will doubt- jess disappoint them all. Ff Since my last there has been some arrivals here from Charleston, among whom, I understand, there is a young Miss Cunningham, who is very hand- some. I believe I have already mentioned that Mr. Van Burenis to arrive here next Tuesday, in company with several distinguished personages.— The Coits and others, from New York, are expect- ed early in the week, and we shall have gay times before another Sunday comes around. _ Yankee Hill gave an entertainment here last even- ing,which wastolerably well attended. Max Bobrer is waiting patiently till Tuesday evening comes around, Barnum with his Tom Thumb—by the bye Ihave eiscovered one thing more in the “earth,” to say nothing about “heaven,” than I before knew “of in ay philosophy,” but Barnum begs me to keep quiet, and as I'l let him off by pronouncing him al- together the greatest humbug that has ever been seenin the solar system, not excepting even our Jata comet’s tail; indeed he is himselt a far greater cunosity th ‘oice Heth, or any other humbug be has ever exhibited—but as 1 was saying, he conclu- ded his visit here last evenining, and is now proba- | bly ou his way to Rochester. But far the richest treat I have yet enjoyed at the Springs. was yesterday immeoiately after dinner. While walking about the pleasure grounds in com py with some friends, whe were smoking their rincipes, we heard the clear, sweet and melodious notes of afemale voice accompanied by the piano, from the drawing room, The melody was so very enchanting, that the Principe’s were incontinently cast away, and we immediately drew near tothe source of attraction. Ithink it was “ Love’s Young Dream” that she was singing— “ Ob the days are gone when beauty bright, My heart strings move (7) When the dream of life from morn till night, Was love, still love.” It wae sung in a style which reached the heart— always did reach the heart—and ulways will reach the heart. Why? Because it cai from the heart—there was “ music in the soul id it was trem that source it came, and not froma book, or anengraving. 1 was always trom a child, an ar- dent admirer of your good old English, Scotch and Irish songs—there is reality and substance in them— there is marrow and richness in them—there is life aud soul in them. None of your modern, scientific, Italian, fancy music for me. Of course I enquired the lady’s name, whose melody was enchanting every ear, and I know she will excuse the Herald for saying that it was Mrs. Dunlap, of Koston, the widow of the late District ane She 1s accompanied by her son, and leoksto be about thirty years of age, of interesting address and accomplished naanners, and universally known as one of the sweetest songstresses in the country. She was a Fales—a Boston family of wealth, and the daughters ot great beauty. _ Ihave spoken particularly of the singing, because it is so rare that you finda young Miss who knows these rich old sterling songs, or if she does know them, who has courage to sing them. Nothing goes down now-a-days, but your modern music, vour f{talian, scientific, heartless flummery. Mrs. Dunlap sang a number of songs, but none that so fully enraptured all hearts, as— “Down the burn Davy Love, And I will follow thee.” During the singing of this song the conversation all ceased, and all with one accord drew up around the piano. ‘There were three desperate old bache- lors present, whose hearts gave way and melted like ice in the focus of a burning glass. And seven young ladies, who have long been laying the co- quette, were saying to themselves, ‘if he would only ask me now.” I could not hear the rest. Ten married gentlemen, with large families, actually i that they were blessed with either wife or hildren, and were unconsciously Hee ke un- utterable things. And when Mrs. inlap got through, the whole party were like one slowly wa- king up from a dream, scarcely knowing where they were or what they were doing. Mrs. Eli Hart is here, and Mrs. McGregorof Wa- york Flace. andalso Wm. P. Furniss, Esq., with all his family. " This morning I notice among the arrivals Colonel Webb, of the Courier, Mr John H. Costar, Col. James Monroe, E. A. Meredeth, Esq , H. J a man, O. Wetimore, Mr. and Mrs. Embury, M. X. Harmony, Esq. Mr. Marshail and daughter, all from New York. Gen. O’Donnell, from Ballti- more, and the Misses O'Donnell, from Baltimore, have at length arrived, to the great delight of their numerous friends and admirers. i There are several flirtations on the tapis, amon; which is one of great desperation, between a we: known Post Master from one ot the eastern States, and a dashing young widow from New York, close- ly allied toa very conspicuous family now at the United States. bed In short, there is every prospect of a brilliant campaign directly before us. Yours, &c. 8. B. Tux Late Mr. Ansorr.—The London Examiner has the following in relation to the death of this gif- ted actor and accomplished gentleman: The last American mail bringsa melanchcly piece of news in the reported death of Mr. Abbott, the well known actor. He was in particular parts a remarkably pleasant comedian, but they who knew him off the stage were less apt to do justice to hisstage quali- ties than mere play goers. Few men have ever lived, we imagine, with more delightful requisites for the private social circle. His spirits were un- bounded, his gaiety and good humor exhaustless, and he had the manners and attainments of a gen- tleman. There are many to recall his flashes of me- riment “that were wont to set the table ina roar,” and togrieve for the untimely death of this cheer- ful kind hearted man. Mr. Abbott was, when in England, the boon com- panion of some of the most distinguished men o his time. He had thus accumulated a vast fund o personal anecdote, which we hope may yet be given to the world ; tor as he informed us not long before his sudden and fatal illness, he had prepared for publication « great portion of a diary he had kept.— Might not thisbe published for the benefit of his es- tumable widow? o Tue Betmont House, Staten I[stanp.—At this elegant and delightful retreat there is now a very brilliant company. The air is pure and invigora- ting—the rides and walks cool and secluded—the accommodations for bathing unsurpassed—and a sight of the table would “‘create an appetite under the ribs” of the most emaciated dyspeptic. The easy access to Belmont House from the city by means of steamboats every hour, renders it an ex- ceedingly desirable residence during the hot season.

Portanp, July 30, 1848. ‘The Herald—Captain Waldren of the Cutter—Thea- tre—Puseyiom—the Devil—Politics—A Parvenue— American Hotel—Your Correspondent. Dear Bennett :— Yourself, or your readers, will hardly deem it an item of news to be informed that the “ Herald” 1s the most popular paper which comes to our city; as the latter have long been too numerous to doubt the fact. Suffice it then, that when the Southern mail arrives here, the ‘New York Herald” 1s the first paper which is read. The new Secretary of the Navy has commen- ced operations, and among the orders recent- ly issued from that department touching this re- gion, isthe removal of Captain Walden, of the U.S. revenue cutter ‘‘Morris,”on this station, “forth- with to Key West!” This movement justly meets with most general disapprobation among our citi- zens, and particularly amongst our merchants. Cap- tain Walden has been upon this station for fourteen years, and services have been incalculable to the shipping interests here. He has been untirin, and faithful in the performance ot his duties, an during his command here has gained the esteem and confideuce of all. The harborot Portland, as you are aware, is one of the most intricate on our coast—studded as it is with over three hundred islands, The access to it 1s difficult, and it requires much time to become acquainted with its numerous rocks and bearings. A memorial has been got up amongst our most influential citizens of ull parties, remonstrating against the measure, and requesting that the order may be revoked. It willhe convey- ed to Washington sma sele by. one of our pro- minent merchants, and it is hoped that the order will be countermanded. Captain Walden’s succes- sor arrived in town a day or two since, and will take command of the cutter on Monday. The Tremont Company continue to do well here.

Your remarks upon this subject I perceive are copi- ed, and your opinions adopted. The ‘‘Church of England” for years ha: anjoyen the quietness it can know no longer. Tre Oxtord high churchmen can usurp their assumptive authority no more. The peo- ple—the masses—are awake and stirring. Our citi- zens are not ef that excitable temperament com- mou in cities, but they are thinkers—and this odi- ous doctrine will receive its due modicum of con- demnation from the vast multitude who despise dic- tation, #8 well.as the enormity of a connection be- tween church and State. One “ El Jarascid”—a prince of the black art— and honestly believed by many here to be none other than his Satanic Majesty in disguise—has been amongst us for a week past.

In this city, the subject of temperance go- verns many voters, and the question is nearly or quite reduced to “rum or‘no rum”—the authorities on Friday last, at the anual meeting of the ‘‘Li- censing Board”’—having adopted the following re- solution :— “Resolved, That the public good does not require that any person should be licensed to sell intoxicatiag drinks in the city of Portland.during the nealing year; and that this board does not deem it necessary to license any per- son for that purpose” This will cause the dealers in “ardents” to go the death for their kin—despite party or party usages, i Our fashionables have been astonished late- ly by the sudden entree of a distinguished parvenue —allthe way from Cuba—who has trained round to the extreme gratification of the very few “exqui- sites” which adora (!) our city. During his brief sojourn, he sported his barouche and four—hailed from the first hotel—lived like a fighting-cock—and scattered his gold, (or rather his uncle’s—for I learn that heis only a dependant on the latter—who, by the way, is very wealthy,) most generously. He cultivates a moat killing mustache—is the idol of the bellesand the envy of the beaux—and pretends tobe a reallive Ceunt! He is excrutiatingly ec- centric, and at the theatre the other evening, he jumped from the parquette to the stage—seized Fan- ny by the hand, (at the close of a dance) followed her to the green-room—returned, when encored— was received with a beautiful shower of hisses— leaped into the orchestra—bolted—and the next day left Portland in disgust. ‘‘He has gone South” —and haply you may meet with him in Yerk.

This will be an event in the musical world of New York, for the prima donna appears for the firsttime in this city inan talian Opera, with a French libretto. Had not this thoroughly studied musician and artiste iully equalled and satisfied the most fastidi- ous critics in every part she has hitherto assumed, we should say that Anna Bolena was a character of too great a magnitude for even so talented a singer as M’selle Culvé; but we have litte fear for her success. The mad scene, in the 8d act, will test her powers; and we congratulate the amateurs of music on having an opportunity of hearing @ grand opera, by Donizetti, and be witnesses of the triumph of the beneficiaire. Whatever may be the result of the present movement to establish a Frehch Opera in New York, we are indebted to Mr. Niblo for in- troducing it protem, and M’seile Calvé’s exertions to make it popular. So adieu to the enchanting prima donna and the talented troupe, “i faut partir.” A full synopsis in English of the Opera, may be found at F. G. Berteau’s foreign book store, 315 Broadway.

The Worlock of the Glen, a drama, will conclude the evenings entertainment Navat.—One of the earliest arrangements of the new Secretary of the Navy, the Hon. D. Henshaw, has been to make the term of naval command two years instead of three. The object ot this altera- tion is to make a more equal distribution of seaser- vice among the naval ofhcers, which willbe more agreeable to those on duty, as well asa portion who are waiting orders, and really desire to obtaina rea- sonable proportion of sea duty. There is one other arrangement that should accompany the one just alluded to, viz—that every naval officer capable of doing duty, should be ordered to sea duty, in the hey stand upon the navy register, and compelled to perform such duty in their proper turn ; and that those who are incapable of perform- ing such service, be placed upon a half pay list, with moderate pensions to those whose service have been such as call for such a demonstration of grati- tude at the hands of the country. This would equal- ize the naval service, and clothe with hcnor those only to whom honor is due.— Phil. Chron. U. BS. Circuit Court.

Pourrica: Movements.—But three short months are yet to roll into the womb of time before our eity will again be the theatre of fierce political excitement, produced by partizan strife, in order to procure the spoils of office. The fall election embraces the choice of the important offices of Sheriff, Coroner and County Clerk, in addition tothat of thirteen Representatives in the Legislature,'and one in the State Senate. There are numerous eandidates for preferment to the latter stations, and it is really to be hoped that more practical business men will be selected as candidates by each party, and less political paupers, whose only claim appears to be that of total incompetency to earn a livelihood by honest labor. It is remarkable, that with the influence, the wealth, the population and the intelligence of this great and thriving commercial mart, that her State Representatives rarely, if ever, as- sume that station in ourLegislaturefthat properly belongs tothem, They appear to lose cast soon after their arrival at the Seat of Government, and before the end of the Ses- sion,are generally without political or personal influence. It is alleged that this feeling is produced on the part of the country members from jealousy of the power or combina tion of so large a representation as this city sends to the State Legislature. We doubt the correctness of this posi- tion, althongh it may have its weight in creating preju- dice against our representatives, but attribute the evil to @ lack of prudence on the part of our members in the ex- ercise of their strength, and an almost immediate assump- tion of power, from the belief that in their numbers they possess the ability to accomplish their objects without aid or consultation from their country friends. Therefore let men be chosen who have more sound practical com- mon sense and not so much beardless assurance and nousense. For the county office of Shemtf there are numerous candidates, all looking with an eye of bope tothe proud preferment. The democratic party being in the ascen- dancy, anomination from it is looked upon as almost a sure thing, and therefore the multiplicity of candidates of at partisan class. The present sheriff cannot constitu- tionally be re-elected, and therefore he is not a candidate. The most prominent of the democratic aspirants at present is Alderman Hetfield, of the Eleventh ward, although there are some twenty others who have hoisted the flag to secure a deputyship by withdrawing in favor of the suc” cessful candidate. For Coroner,Dr. Archer, the present incumbent, isa candidate for re-election, and ex-Alderman Nash is a strong team against him. Then there are some dozen oth- ers, among whom willbe anumber of preminent physi- cians, who, like the editor of the London Lancet, recently if not the present coroner of London, will base their pre- ferences oo the ground of the absolute necessity and be” nefit of the selection of a medical man for the perform. ance of the duties of the office. For County Clerk, which is a valuable and lazy post of honor and emolument, the present incumbent is not an as pirant, but there are plenty standing ready to jump into his shoes whenever the law compels him to stepout. The most prominent are Samuel Osgood, late deputy clerk, James Connor, our excellent type maker, John Riker, Jr. formerly chief engineer of the Fire Department, Alder man William D. Waterman, &e. &c.,all of whom will spend more time, and bemore agreeable and courteous to their personal and political friends, for the coming three months, than they have been for months past. As time rolls round, we shall note their progress and add to the list, for the benefit of our readers. Svuicipe PassenGer ON Boarp THE Banque “Exiza.” in Wm.

New Yorn, July 20, 1843. | Mx. Bristow :— | _ Dear Friend :—For such I esteem you, although 1 ne. | ver have had the ploasure of seeing you. But I have the hoppinessof having my son saved from a most severe ani distressing malady throngh the use of your truly valu ble Sarsuparilla. About fourteen months previous ‘gon was treated by medical ing’s evil in the neck ; but ail efforts to stay his disease did not accomplish any good for him. His ulcers rapidly spread from day to ds until we became alarmed for the safety of bis life. $0 extensive was the ulceration that it was considered a8 past cure. The opening in his neck was truly frighttul, and appear- ed to be eating every thing before jone cau describe our feelings and painful forebodin tothe result of his affliction. A friend, to whom we feel greatly indebted for his kindness and advice, on seeing the boy, stated that he would send a physi whom he knew would cure hi nd to my surprise, all ke recommended physic at first, and advised me to wee parifia, as he stated he knew of nothinj in such cases as my fon’s. This we attend ax directed, eager to fave my son if possible ; and now we have the pleasure and unexpected joy of be- folding our son saved irom an early grave; for had his Neeave been left to prey upon him, he could not have last. od long. Me isnow well ; his general health is good, and with grateful feelings to thee as the proprietor of so great aremedy, we ascribe his cure solely to the use of your Sursaparilla.
