NEW YORK HERALD, k, Friday, August 25, 1843. riovs—-Tus Next Congress—-Tur Gesat Race ror tHe Prize Cur in 184 — civiized being knows that this 1s the estes’ nation on which the blessed sun ever ned genial iofluence. In years an in- fant, it strength a giant. The past, embracing only a century or two, albeit crowded with events which dignify the history of a world—the future fuil of hope, encouragement, unexampled national great- ness. Every epoch in the progress of suchfa coun- try is pregaant with warning and inst uction, and should be carefully studied by patriot and philoso- pher. We have just now reached a very remarkable crisis in our national history. A singular and unex- pected combination of events, has scattered to the winds the schemes of trading politicians—given the death blow to the hopes of many a partizan—dis- organized much ofthe old elements, and eliminated from them new ones—and above all, given to the intelligence, virtue, and disinterested patnotism ot the land a great opportunity of ¢flecting the pracu- calepplicaion of those lessons, which the experi- ence of the past has so forcibly impressed upon the minds ef all who had eyes to see, or ears to hear. Jt is in this view, that the results ol the Jate elections, affording as they do the most iotelligible and correct’ manifestations of the predominant feeliag of the various sections of the Union, become invested with a greater: interest than ever attached to preceding demonstra tion of the popular mind The party which sue- ceeds now is ceitain of a lengthened reign. The present is the very ume in which it can lay broad and deep the foundations of its supremacy, tor years g his to come. No wonder, then, that the struggle pro- muses to be fierce and bitter. No wonder that throughont all our borders, the souuds of prepara- aid be so Joudand continuous. weral resals of the elections thus far, are y lavorable to the democratic party. As remarked yesterday, however, the whigs of unessee will be able to influeace the character of U.S Senate. The next Congress wiil then posed of a Whig Senate and a Locofoco Representatives. Such a body, with a ylerite administration, presents a very agreeable ectof excitement, at all events Cae business of President-making is conducted this me on somewhat different principles irom those which have regulated it heretofore. There is really in many quarters, a considerable approach to reason and common sense in the discussion of the claims of the candidates. Many people appear now to regard the candidate less and the country more. The interests of ‘‘the party” do not shut alto- gether eut of view the interests of the na- tion All this is cheerfully indicative of yeturning national sanity. The fact is, that the people have now purchased by expe- iience the knowledge which they refused to accept on less expensive terms. The folly and yvuinous tendency of erroneous legislation do not now need expositors—they have been written in universal disaster. What then does the country want? It wants re- pose— quiet—adherence on the part of its legislators to those sound republican doctrines on which the Vanion was built:—economy, freedom from debt, unrestricted trade, low taxation. It wants, in truth, to be governed less. ‘There is growing up rapidly into strength and in- flueace a new party, holding these views, and deter- mined to apply new tests to the character of presi- dential candidates. And the best proof of the pro- gress of this movement, is the fact, that the can- didates at present in the field, tacitly acknowledge its existence and its importance by very perceptible changes in theirtactics. There is, for instance, an evident improvement in the bearing of the friends of Vau Buren, Calhoun, and Cass, towards each other. The respective claims of these favorites are pressed with much more decency and good feeling pr Tur Presipenriat Cuts Boarr—Fmst Move at Tammany Hatt—Conservative Docrrine THE Onper or THE Day.—The game, for so it may be called, of President-making, has commenced at Old Tammany, and the first move on the board was made last evening, amid the lath, plaster and rub- bish of the walls, which are now undergoing thorough renovation by the proprietors. The vicinity, at an early hour, was thronged with anxious enquirers, and “Old Joe Murphy’s,” the “Pewter Mug,” &c. overflowed with froth, fumes rum and glory, as the time approached for the dele- gatesto assemble. There were strong representa- tions from the fourth, ninth and eleventh wards, of both delegate tickets, assembled to see fairplay,and with Major Hopkins on one side, and King Doyle on the other, from the fourth ; Major Broderick and General Brush from the ninth; and ol. Jackman and Quarter-Master Gage from the eleventh, all who know the fame, the zeal, the energy with which these gentlemen would advocate a partizan right, or oppose a violation of ancient and venerable Tam- many Hall landmark, know that all the rights of Van Buren, Calhoun, Scott and Tyler were there most strictly guarded. At about the hour of seveno’clock avd a half, the deiegates began to assemble, and after wad- ing through the lime, the mortar and the rubbish that for the time has banished gin cock-tails, root beer and brandy smashers,trom the bar-room of this hall of the bucktails, they congregated in the old east room that has escaped the improvement of the age, and there commenced the labors of their of- fice. Henry Nicholl, of the First Ward, a decided Van Buren man was chosen chairman protem., and some body appointed secretary. The names of the three delegates from the seventeen wards were then called, when it was found that twice three answered from the Fourth, Ninth and Eleventh Wards. Here commenced a query as to the cause of such increased representation from these respective wards, and it was then proposed that one from each three should be allowed to remain to tell the story of their wrongs, and the other two re- quested to retire. This being complied with, the Fourth Ward delegates of the anti Van Buren fac- tion stated that they met in accordance with the re- commendation of Tammany Hall, and being the largest in number,voted down their opponents, who took such proceedings in high dudgeon, and the mi- nority then adjourned to another room. The oppo- sing delegate contended that the room was so crowded they could not divide it, and in order to obtain room for that purpose, they went upstairs, and there selected delegates. The position of the first delegate being entirely in accord ance wit Tammeny Hall usage, put himeelt and associates, being opposed to Van Buren, and a majority of the convention in his favor; the question was about to be decided in favor of the admiiting the Van Buren. delegates, when a member from the unterrified Sixth voted to lay the question on the table, which was adopted. * Next came the Ninth Ward roarers, when the Anti-Van Buren delegates stated that the meeting at which himself and associates were assembled was held at the hour in the evening selected by the Gene- ral Committee of Tammany Hall, and at the place se- lected by the Ward Committee. The Van Buren man asserted that the Ward Committee authorized a day ballot at which himself and associate had been chosen. The majority perceiving that although the instructions of Tammany Hall had been strict- ly complied with by the majority that elected the anti Van Buren delegates, yet hesitating to decide this question, was also laid upon the table, for the time being, by the ingenious member from the Sixth Ward. Then came the Eleventh Ward, the old sturdy de- mocratic eleventh; and here the anti-Van Buren de- legate contended that they had abided by Tam- many Hall in every particular, while the others avowed their Simon purity. This was also laid upon the table, and then, by resolution, the people of three wards were requested to assemble in day ballot on Monday next, between the hours of ten than was heretofore discovered by the adherents of rival candidates. These things we allude to merely by way of intro- duction. The book of the chances ef the various hacks on the lists is gradually unfolding its pages. ‘We will take a look at it soon, and endeavor to scan the future. Tue State or Society in THe Unitep STaTEs AND N Canapa.—The Montreal Gazette seems to take alarm at the great number of murders which have recently oceurred in the United States, and he draws nference unfavorable to Republican institutions — Now the editor of that journal forgets that such things cecur in his own loyal Province, and, per- haps, more in proportion to the number of inhabi- tants than can be found in the United States. Let him look at recent events in the Upper Province to satisty himself on thispoint. We do not wish to be iderstood as defending the horrible deeds which re so often heard of both here and elsewhere, but to lament that the state of society in this enhgacned ge chould be so very bad throughout the world — Nevertheless, while mach evil exists here, the con dition of the middle and lower clases is infinitely su- perior to that of the same classes in the Canadas, were they are treated with insult and contempt by pitiably miserable officials, and self-constituted ex- elusives. This same editor showed but a tew days since how the people were treated in Canada by their own corporation, who would not even Jet the people iknow how they were intending to dispose of them in their preparations for the reeeption of the Gover- nor General. Such disparaty betwee n classes ef the sume su jects bas a tendency to embitter the one and to depreas the energies of the jjeet them tothe tyrenpy ot the other — e could enlarge on this sutject by going into de- sils wotil they would naugeate ; but it is abundantly »ved that the.comfort, and prosperity. and happi « of the masses of mankind in the colony of the Canadas is Jess, infinitely less, than under Republi- can jinstitations inthe United States. The Mon- treal editor draws wrong deductions from the facts as they exist, but he misrepresents the facts by the mode in which he puts them, He must not set hw jandfall of earth end his little knot cf well-govern- gainst this illimitable country of moun- tain , and fertile plain, of big, glorious, majestic rivers, and our generous, enterprising, free, industrious,ghapp: d prosperous people. Jf there is the evil of occasional collision, which is inciden- tal to all forms of government, there is the o’er-bal- ancing good of conscious freedom and equality, which the oppressed serfs of Canada never feel, and oyous bounding of the heart of the millions of which this glorious country and its hap tutions produce sovere py iv ‘Tne Nationa Convention —The month of May by universal consent has been fixed, wherein to hold National Democratic Convention ; but What precise period of the month, has not even been alluded to, until the other day, when a demo- cratic meeting in Baltimore recommended the hird Monday in May. he (ig- The pious Journal of Commerce said that the recent storm was unparalleled except by that of the days of Noah senr. ifthe Herald had said this, all the sanctified would have turned up the whites of their eyes, and ejaculated “ impious ;” but being ihe Journal of Commerce,it was exceedingly proper, of course The Rhode Islander of Newport saye:—“ The New York pilot boat, New York, we are informed, is coming here in a few days, bringing Ogden Hofi- man, eq , District Attorney Whiting, and several other distinguished gentlemen of the city of Go- tham, who are making a pleasure excursion in her. Parner Bor Tyrer ann Repeat, nat the author of ‘ We understand nd ** Medorus’ to addre ag of Repealers at Washington Hal! Ahasuerus ream,” is coming to this city a meet- in the morning and eight in the evening, to select delegates to represent the party in Tammany Hall, then to select thirteen delegates to the State Con- vention at Syracuse. The Convention then adjourned to Tuesday even- ing, at half-past 7 o'clock, when the question will assume one of much interest to the politicians of our city. (g- The election of two members of Congress to represent the State of Rhode Island is to take place on Tuesday next. Mr. Atwell having declined the nomination to represent the Western District, Mr Wilmarth N. Aldrich has been nominated in his stead. The nominations are therefore as follows :— Eastern District—Law and Order, Henry Y Cranstoff, of Newport. Democrat, John H. Wheedeu, of North Pro- vidence. Western District—Law and Order, Elisha R. Potter, of South Kingstown. Democrat, Wilmurth N. Aldrich, ot Scituate. Vexmont.—The following nominations for Con- gress have been made by the two political parties:— Whigs. Democrats. First District, Solomon Foote. C & Harrington. Second do Jacob Coliamer. T.B R.nsom, Thid do Geo P_ Maresh. Jonn smith Fourth do G B Chanter. P Dillingham, jr. The election takes place on the 5th of September. Tur Onecon Territory —A Company is being formed in this city for the purpose of emigrating to the Oregon Territory, and settling in that prolific region. We deem this an advantageous enterprise to such pereons as can combine a small capital with industry and skill ‘Tue Burraro Huwt —We have heard it rumored that the “ Buffaio Hunt” and throwing of the lasso, was to come off in the immediate vicinity of the city, at Hoboken, and thatit was to be free to every one; thus placing it within the reech of every per- son in the city. Jf this be the true version of the matter, it will be a curiosity, indeed, to see the tre- mendouscrowd—the tens of thousands of people who go overto witness it. The Messrs Stevens, with their numerous ferry boats, will be prepared to accommodate all the world, and his—family 100. Hamiiton Houst.—A mistaken impression may have been produced by an article in the Herald yes- terday, and therefore we announce that this favo- rite sans souct establishment has not sustained as much damage as was generally supposed by the flood. Very few of the guesishave left. The great feature of the Hamilton House, which must ever render it a most desirable resort, is the elevated situ- ation, and consequently the most salubrious spot out of New York. Now that every fear may be justly apprehended of sickness in the city, by rea- son of the flood, this place stands pre-eminent for a refuge, and the month of Septenber, we doubt not will bring a golden harvest to the energetic exertion® of its proprietor, who certainly deserves all praise for his devotion to the interests of his guests. The ri- ver road, which fora great part is not iuferior to the Hoboken passes, has suffered far less than might be imagined. All the damages have been repaired, and a friend of ours staying at the house, drove up yesterday with his lady in forty-five minutes. This certainly does not look much like “ impassable roads.” Yate Cottrce.—The degree of A. B. was confer- red in course on ninety-six individuals; that of A.M. in course on thirty-three, ad eundem on two; and honorary on Rev. Jos. Greenwood, of New Mil- ford, Conn.; and John Thompson, Esq, of Pough- keepsie; the degree of M. D. in course on seventeen; and honorary on five; the degree of Bachelor of Laws on two. ‘xg The Rev. P. Phelan, of Montreal, was conee- erated as Bishop, with the ceremonies uswal in the Roman Catholic chureh, on Sunday last. Og Mr. Henry Russell, having returned from his eastern and northern tour, has gone to the Bath House, Rockaway, for a little recreation Yau.ow Feven—Mr. Bailey, the pilot of the schooner Vanda, died yesterday morning of yellow fever at the Quarantine Hospital. The following story has been given in relation to this veseel by Dr. Van Hovenburg, the health officer :— The schooner Vanda, Pearce, master, arrived at the Quarantine Ground on the 7th instant, from Point Petre, Guadaloupe, and 16 days from St. Mar- tin’s, with a cargo of salt. Que of her seamen sick- ened with fever while at Point Petre—the mate was taken sick on the day they sailed, and died on the 17th July at St. Martin’s—the steward complained of being unwetl twoor three days previous to their arrival at this port, and was, with a seaman, put into the hospital. The ‘a remained at the Qua- rantine forvy- eight hours, when, at the urgent soli- citation of the captain and owners, she was permit- ted to proceed up the North River to Kingston, Ulster county, to discharge her cargo, having teund sale for it at thatplace, with orders to return to the Quarantine Ground when it was discharged. They were four days on their passage up the river. The captain and second mate sickened orf the day of their arrival at Kingston. The steward who was shipped to supply the place of the tormer one, sick- ened some tour or five days after her arrival. The North River pilot who took the vessel up, took sick on her passage down the river. The vessel, in charge of the pilot, mate, and crew, returned to the Quarantine Ground on Monday. Captain Pearce was left at Kingston. This precious story is gravely told by Dr. Van Hovenburg, who is paid liberally to prevent the very thing which, according to his own statement, he nas in this case allowed ; and he is not only paid to prevent it, but he has sworn that no such vessel shall come up the bay, until after performing qua- rantine for thirty days. If the Vanda had con- tained poor emigrants, they would doubtless have been kept until their iinen wae washed, at an ex- orbitant price; but on au infected vessel arriving, the permission is given ‘* go and discharge your cargo, but as soon as that is done retura to do your remaining quarantine duty.” Or, in other words, go and communicate the yellow fever to a densely populated citv, and then return and do that which is really ab- surd, yet is nevertheless required by the laws. It this health officer can dispense with quarantine duty until the cargo is discharged, 1t can be dispensed with altogether; but we are at a loss to know whence he derives his authority for the course he has thought proper to pursue. Is there no power which can regulate the conduct of this man? or is he to be tolerated much longer in eutraging legal enactments, and the rights of individuals a t his pleasure? A Porrraiture or a Member or Concress.— Tn one of the districts of Indiana, Joseph L. White, member of the late Congress, was defeated. The New Albany Democrat thus describes him :— ‘* Miserable thing—without character at home or abroaa—despised by the good, und shunned even by the peat destitute of honor and integrity— the seducer of female innocence—the violator of domestic peace—a profligate wretch—a cowardly slanderer—a noted swindler, and a creature who embodies more moral infamy in his worthless car- case thao can be found out of, or evenin,the Peniten- tary. This is a vivid picture, truly, and if not flattered, Jo White must indeed be a beauty, says « contem- foe He was just the man to flourish in the de- auching era of 1840, when “Judgment had fled to brutish beasts And men had lost their reason.” But we are surprised that such a creature should be selected by “all the decency, all the morality, and all the religion,” to receive their support and sanc- tion for honorable station and important trust, at a period when it is supposed drunkenness has even place to honest soberness, and infamy is no longer patronized by the virtuous. The,defeat of such a man is not a public calamity, we imagine. Now this Jo White we happen to know was one of the most talented and most respectable men in Congress. He spoke with the vehemence of the West, but with a polish and appropriateness that no part of the Union could excel. Such, however, is the fate of party men. Hisdescription would prove one of two things —either that the constituency of Indiana have disgraced themselves irredeemably by returning such representatives, er that the editors of newspapers, who can thus traduce an opponent, are the most unmitigated scoundrels in Christendom. An Outrage anp Rewarp.—Captain Stockton, the President of the Delaware and Raritan Canal Company, offers a reward of $500 for the apprehen- sion and conviction of the person or persons who injured the bank of the Delaware and Raritan Ca- nal, and also the railroad thereon constructed, on the night of the 19th. It appears that they dug a deep trench from the canal under the railroad, for the purpose of producing a breach in the former and injuring the latter. Their diabolical attempt was fortunately discovered in time. It 1stobe hoped that they will be arrested and brought to justice. Cricketina —The friendly challenge given by the St. George’s Cricket Club of New York to all the United States, or to Canada, says the ‘* Anglo American,” has been accepted by the Toronto Club, and the acceptance has come to hand. We believe there will be some modifications necessary of the terms in which the Toronto acceptance is couched, but nothing doubt of a final arrangement The match will probably come off here about Thursday, the 7th September. {rg-An Ecclesiastical Council in Philadelphia, some short time since, after investigating certain charges against the Rev. Edward Covel, pastor of the third Baptist Church, and residing in Southwark, declares him to have been proven guilty of “ traduciog the character of members of the church,” and ‘“at- tempting to violate a female member of his congre- gation,” named Miss Hubbell. Yet notwithstand- ing this result, about two hundred of the members of Covel’s church express their readiness to stand by their pastor, and if the decision cannot be revere, ed, to form an independent congregation. Dreaprut ConriaGration at Sacket’s Harnor. —We have the following calamitous intelligence from the Black River Journal, Extra, Aug. 21 :— This morning, at half past ten o’clock, the village of Sacket’s Harbor was visited by a most destruc- tive fire. It is supposed to have taken from the steamer St. Lawrence, which had left the dock about half an hour from It originated in the store house of S. T. Hooker; and as the wind was very high at the time, the flames spread with fear- ful rapidity, enveloping in a few moments the new extensive store erected last season by S. T. Hooker & Co., and enon the entire range, as far east as the steamboat office, formerly occupied by Wm. Buck- ley. The fire seon crossed the street, destroying the Commercial Hotel and all the intermediate build ings between that and the Centre House kept by A. Schuyler, which was saved. The brick building opposite the Commercial, occupied as a saddler’s shop, was also destroyed, and all the buildings on both sides of Bayard street to the Presbyterian Church, which was also consumed. The bakery and dwelling house of J. B. Phelps, Eeq., the law office of D. N. Burnhe'a, several stores, shops, &c , including the tin sho» of C. Sy- monds, the grocery store of J. Simpson, with se- veral others, names not recollected. The extensive livery stable of Mr. Dodge, was destroyed, with se- veral fine horses. J. B. Phelps, Eeq , also jost a very valuable animal, who perished in the flames. It is reported that the Custom House is destroyed, and from its contiguity to the origin of the fire, we fear it may be so, yet from the direction of the wind at the time, we hope it is otherwise. ‘ A young man leaped from an upper story in the Commercial and was considerably injured. Both his legs were broken. The amount of property de- stroyed must have been very considerable. It is believed that a very smal! portion of the property destroyed, was insured. The report of the destruction of the custom house is contradicted, as also of the horees. An Inrortant Powt.—The_ New Orleans Cou- rier contains a caution to the Government of Mex- ico in regard to a design entertained by Commodore Boylan to occupy the Island of Cozumel. under a grant from the governmentof Yucatan, The Co rier remarks:—“ If it be true, and should the scheme of the Commodore be realized, it cannot be doubted that this isiand will speedily fall uader the domina- tion of Texas, who will thus find herself estab- lished at the two extremities of the Mexican coast of the Gulf. The importance of this position whether for commerce, or in time of war, is such that the Mexican Goverament cannot make too much haste to take measures in order to prevent its escaping from her. And the Government of the United States is perhaps no less interested than Mex- ico, to hinder from passing into the hands of a na- tion more maritime than Mexico, an island that al- most commands the entrance tothe Gulf Mx. Wasuineron Invinc.—The condition and position of Mr, Irving, Minister of the United States to the Court of Madrid, are matters of much inter- est during the troubled state of that country, and we are happy to find that he is as popular and as much beloved and relied on there as athome. The correspondent of the Washington Intelligencer, in a letter dated July 3st, writes of him and of the state of things in Madrid as follows :— Since the date of the letter in which I mentioned Mr. Irving, the American Minister at Madrid, we have recent and direct intelligence of him, He had so far recovered from the malady with whicl. he was confined for several weeks, as tobe able to pass days abroad on his feet and in his carriage, observing the popular excitement and the preparations for de- fence, He felt not the least apprehension for him- self; indeed, even the British "fadies looked to his hotel for refuge 1n case of an assault from the troops at the gates. The cry without was “ Death to the English-ayacuchos!” as it had been on the former revolution, ‘* Death to the Frenchified Spaniards!” | The young Queen and her sisters would gladly have pvt themselves under the thelter of the American Legation, rather than remain exposed in the palace as a prize to the victors in a desperate street affray. My informant mentions that the only American wom he knew to be in Madrid, and often with Mr. Irving, was Mr. Sumner, of Boston, a gentleman distinguished for personal merit and extensive tra- vel, Mr. Hamilton, of the legation, was absent in the Pyrenees. From Cuina —By the arrival of the ship Thomas Perkins, Capt. Graves, from Canton, whence she sailed on the 18th of April, we have received our regular files of the Canton Register up to that date, inclusive. Our advices by the Overiand Mailare to the 7th of May. The French frigate Erigone and the United States frigate Constellation were atthe Bogue. Tie com- manders had gone to Canton to have an interview with the Chinese authorities. The Erigone saluted the Euglish flag at Hong Kong—the Constellation did not. The commander of the Constellanon was right, according to the Friend of China, salutes not being due until after the official proclamation that the treaty of Nankin had been ratified. A letter in the Register gives an account of some disorders at Canton on the 12th of April, but they produced no very serious resuits The disturbance arose between some “fast boat”? men and the keep- ers of a gaming house. The Chinese solders inter- fered, to the number of about two hundred, but taking part with the gaming house people, they were poached oh the crews of allthe ‘‘fast boats” and beaten off. One of the boatmen was killed aad another fatally wounded. i The people of Whampoa had sent up a deputation to remonstrate against the English being allowed to build factories there. The English have no such intention. Yucatan.—The schooner Susanna arrived at New Orleans on the 15th instant, in five days from Cam- peachy. The editor of the Bulletin learns froma assenger on board the S that General Sentmanat laeda at Campeachy some weeks since on board of asmall canoe, accompanied by two of his offi- cers. He stated that he had been betrayed by the remainder of his officers to the Mexican troops.— One ot his partizans who had been entrusted with the defence of the var of Tobasco, had surrendered immediately to the enemy. Sentmanat himself, with 50 or 60 men, fought the Mexicans for some time near Tobasco, but was ultimately compelled to retreat; and seeing himself abandoned, made the best ef his way to Campeachy. When tke 8. left, he was at Merida. Tue Texan Freenoorers—The Mexican Mini ter for Foreign Affairs, has addressed a communi- cation bearing date July 21, to Gen. Thompson, the U. 8, Minister at Mexico, in which he strongly pro- tests against the inroads made upon New Mexico, as he alleges by citizens ot the States of Missouri, Illinois and Arkansas. The Minister pronounces such incursions—made while Mexico is at peace with this country, while an amnesty has been pro- claimed between Texas and Mexico, and negotia- tiens are on foot to restore amicable relations be- tween the two governments—as being acts of hos- tility against Mexico, and contrary to the rights of nations. It alleges that as these incursions are made by the sufferance of the United States, what- ever expense Mexico may incur to repel them, and whatever injury may be inflicted by them upon her citizens, are just grounds tor claims for indemnity upon our government. The Minister then preters such claim for indemnity in the most formal and positive manner From Vera Crvz.—We learn from Capt. Brown, of the ship Birkenhead, which left Vera Cruz on the 4th instant, that the second installment of the U.S. indemnity was paid over in Mexico city on the 25ta ultimo.—N. O. Bulletin. Hosprtat Report for 24 hours, ending at seven last evening—Admitted 20: of yellow fever 6—dis- charged 15; of yellow fever 1—died 4; of yellow fever 3—Yellow fever patients remaining 29.—N.O.

The Sheriff of Essex county, New Jersey, who resides at Newerk, and officer Southard, of the same place, being attentive readers of this print, on perusing its columns yesterday morning,saw the publica- tion, and having knowledge of a building recently oceu- pied by the rogue an that city, immediately entered it, and there found a li uantity of stolen property, some of which has been identified as taken from houses entered in the vicinity of Newark. The benefit of reading the Herald was thus illustrated, as, had the publication not been made, the goods would in all probatility have been removed yesterday by the paitners of Devoe, and thus the rogue escape conviction, and the losers never have recovered their property. Parnow Poutck avo Watcu.—In a few days the recess of our Common Council will have transpired, and the iegisiative business of our city will then again be re- sumed In anticipation of this, we suggest the ebsolute necessity of public action to induce those who profess to have the welfare of the city at heart, to establish 8 day and night pstrol police, the immediate benefits of whic! we have so olten pointed out in detail, that it is unnecessary here to repeat them. Suffice itto say that a day and night patrol police would put an effectual stop to shoplitting, and we therclore askthe dry goods mer- chants and smali dealeas, will not your interest prompt you to aid in calling a public meeting to instruct our city fathers? A night patro! police would almost eflec- tually prevent the numerous burglaries that take place, and add te the activity and energy of our private and public watch, as was fully exemplified by the expe ments by Justice Matsell, in the lower wards last winter. Therefore, wefask the wholesale merchant, the banker and the housek eper, is it not your faterest to actin this maiter at once, and instrnct our @ommon Council? A day and night patrol would rid Broadway and our public walks and prome ades of the numerous male and female prosticutes that now infest it to the almost nightly exciu- sion of female virtue and innocence. Is not this sufficieut to cause fathers, brothers, sisters and mot! prompt others and act them in cousmg ward meet- ings to be heldto furtherfthis admirablo system? ‘This plan will drive pickpockets to honest business, watch stuffers to hard labor, mock anctioueers to honesty, thieves to Blackwell’s Island, and larger roguesto Sing Sing. tis so plain, so comprehensive, so effective, that achiid will perceive that the rogues that iniest our pub. lic thoroughfares must be kept in such a pertect qui vive movement by the continual evolution of police officers, that New York would be soon too hot to hold them. Therefore, let all good citizens who desire the protection of their property, their persons and their lives, aid in this movement, and thus compel the public authorities to make an immediate adoption of this plan, until they con find time to give us a betters which we think from ourown practical knowledge will be impossible. Which Ward moves first? Deatu oF James Gannicuan.—This man, wh was stabbed last week in the sife,in an sffray in 35th street, by George Leoni, mathematical instrument maker, died on Wednesday evening, at the Bellevue Hospital. The immediate cause of his de was delirium tremens From the tims he was taken te the hospital until Sunday, the symptoms in the case were favorable. From his pre vious excessive habitsjof intemperance, delirium tremens followed, and the physician fearing that his life would be endangered from the wound if stimulants were given to check the disease, delayed administering them, in hopes that he might recover from the last attack; but their auxi- ous anticipations were not realized, and death ensued. The coroner called an Tune last evening, at the ho:- le and the verdict will be given to-morrow. Mr. eoui asserts that he acted solely on the defensive, Ganni- gban having first assaulted him, and commenced the attack without provocation on his part. Outrit.—One Charley Allen, being of and ardent attachment for old clo’s, approp pecial benefit a merino coat, a worsted sack coat, a silk:vest,and,two pair of cloth pants, belonging to William Robbins, of No.2 Mechanic’s Altey. On being arrested, and alarmed at his future prospects, he confessed the appropriation, and surrender- ed the ticket of the pawnbroker, who had so kind as to loan the rascal a small amount on the stolen goods. ‘The pawn broker was stuck, and Charley escaped Sin Sing, trom the mere fact that the whole toggery is value: at only $24, being $1 less than the law requires to consti- tute Grand Larceny. Suor Livrens ix Crowns.—These land pirates are in- creasing most rapidly inour city, and urine Arbesd B= ses that dry gooda stores, &c. are not filched of various articles of value, and all owing to the fict that we have no day police patrol. Yesterday, Amelia Yotten was caught in the act of stealing ten yards of carpeting, valu- ed at 25 cents a yard, from the store of Charles Eversley, of 123 Essex sireet. Anthony Williams was also robbid while carry Ing off a piece of satinet {rom the store of The- a Galligher, of 138 Bowery, and bots committed fcr rial, AvotHer Pork Case.—A fey mghts e William Sheridan, of 83James street, corner of Batavia, lost two barrels of pork valued at $20 50, which information he communicated to officer Ben Parker, o! the Fourth Ward, whese keen nose on achase soon traced the stelen goo. s to the possession of Joseph Wa ere, ii ir street, who admitted that he had bought them of a man named Law- rence Rogers. The officer knowing or believing thet Waters kept a “fence” Jor thieves, secured him, then ar. rested Rogers and lodged them both in the Lower Police office, where they were fully committed for trial. An Incratnep Vittain.—About dusk last evening a full grown boy was detected in the actof stealing the brass s op cocks attached to theengiae of the steamboat New York, lying on the East river. He was arrested by Dock-master Doyle, and on being searched, a small quan- tity of Bax stolen from other parts of the boat were found on him. The rogue was fully committed, and gave the name of Thomas Keegan. Such acts of rascality maliciousness deserve more severe prnishment than any ordinary case of larceny. Duorrina tHe Proron.—Yesterday morning the drop game was attempted to be practised on a passenger by the North America from Albany, but the intended victim had read the Heraid, and saved his c: e QG@- THE GRAND ENTERTAINMENTS At THE American Museum this week are drawing crowds of vi- ors.
