NEW YORK HERALD. New York, Monday, September 4, 1843. Foesicx News Exrscrep.—The arrival of the steam ship Britannia, at Boston, with foreign news ten days later than previously received, may be hourly expected, andan extra will be issued as soon as possible after her arrival. The news from Ire- land—Letters from Mr. Bennett, and other facts will form an interesting sheet for public perusal. Boy, give us an extra Herald. Great Meerine in rae Parx—Tux “ Youre Demgcracy,” CaLnoun anp Sias Waicut, Jk — The so-called friends of “free trade—low duucs— no debt—separation from banks—economy—re- trenchment, and strict adherence to the constitu tion” who embody in this long string of public measures the name of John C. Calhoun, of South Carolina, as their candidate for the Presidency, meet this afternoon in the Park at6 o’clock, to adopt measures to sustain the man, and advocate the “unalienable right of the people ef each con- gressional district to elect, by their direct sut- frages, the delegates to represent them in the na- tional conyentioa.” This call is signed by about an hundred names, among whom are comprised many of the most active, intelligent and effi- cient members of the democratic party of this great metropolis. This is a bold movement at this ensis, on the eve of the state convention that assembles at Syracuse, to-morrow, and contrasts strongly with the fears or, policy of the friends of Van Buren, who have made several attempts of the kind, but failed to accomplish their designs. The meeting will excite much interest from the fact of its being the first called in this city totake action on the Presidential campai L, will be exciting because of the combustible charac- ter of many of those who have been active in its call, and great fun may be anticipated from the opposition of some of the friends of Van Buren,who have avowed) their intention to eppose the proceed- ings. The Irish population of this city are generally opposed to the re-nomination of Mr. Van Buren to the Presidency, and they will form a solid phalanx at the meeting to support their friends and measures. Such a support, backed by ‘the boys,” subterra- neans and radicals ia general, will cause charac- teristic caution on the part of disorderlies, or black eyes, bloody noses, broken heads and spread-eagle long tailed coats, will be introduced at the close of the proceedings to the memorable discomfiture of one party or the other. Popular speakers have been in- vited to attend, and special pains will be taken to give publicity to all that may emanate from them partaking inthe least degree of originality. This is the first public blow for Calhoun at the north, and we may expect tosee it followed up in various parts of the country with like demonstrations in his favor, and counteracting movemenis then made by the Van Buren democrats to change the current of pub- lic opinion. The call to-night is fravght with strange results;and speculation, curiosity and lazi- ness will bring an immense concourse to witness the proceedings. Look out for to-morrow’s Herald. “*Drawixne tHE Ling.”—Several cf the prints avowing preference for Mr. Van Buren, have re- cently recommended the drawing of a line between his supporters and those ef the same party who may prefer another asa first choice. This is a new mode of reconciling differences, and if adopted in the nomination of candidates this fall for Sheriff, Coro- ner, County Clerk, Senator, and Assemblymen, will give the Whigs the election of all these officers. A few thousand decided anti-Van Buren men, euppos- ed to have been disfranchised from holding office by their political friends would either be induced to run acomplete separate ticket, or oppose a so- called regular nomination, and thus prevent the election of any one of the preferred candidates. A little more “policy,” gentlemen, or you will swamp yourselves, and your opponents ride into power with scarce an effort—and who cares if they do ? Our Streets are uadergoing active cleansing un- der the superintendence of the corporation agents. The famous ‘‘sireet contractors” have long since suspended their operations, aud the street commit- tee are determined to make thorough work in the business placed in their hands. Org Amongst other distinguished strangers now at Howard’s Hotel, is the Hon. the Speaker of the Canadian Parliament, who has been there for se- veral days. Whoelse may be there we know not, for the house is filled from cellers to the attics. {cg The Hon. Joseph L. White, of Indiana, late Member of Congress from Madison. in that State, is at the Astor House. Boy Lost.—On Thursday evening last, a boy nine years old, named Thomas Neary, disappeared from Howard’s Hotel, where he had been living jor the last nine months. Much enquiry has been made for him, but without success. He is unusually small of his age, remarkably polite, active and in- telligemt. He was dressed in a dark roundabout, light pants, with straps and boots, linen plaited bosom shirt, and glazed cap. Any information re- lative to the boy, communicated to Howard’s Ho- tel, wil! greatly relieve his anxious relatives and friends. A Capsize on Fripay Last.—A small sloop con- taining two men was capsized just below the Navy Yard, and Captain Sands, of the Falmouth, and Lt. ‘Turner, in the gig, with Lt. Caandler in the whale boat, immediately proceeded to her assistance. — The sloop was towed alongside the ship—bailed out, and every attention shown to the wet and shiver- ing sufferers that kindness and sympathy could dic- tate. Two much jraise can not be given to Capt. Sands, and Liewis. Turner and Chandler for their promptnesss in aiding the uafortunate vessel. ‘Tas Cuaroe or Consrrracy.—In another column will be found a statement of Mr. James Bergen, in relation to the late accusation made against him and Mr. Hamilton, and which is accompanied by the affidavits of Messrs. Labagh and Byrne, Com- missioners before whom Mr. Lunar made deposi- tions, absolutely contradicting and falsifying the fundamental allegations of tutton’s statement, oa which the charges against these individuals were founded. Navat.—The U. 8. schooner Enterprize, Lieut Com’g. Manning, was at Montevideo July 6th, un- dergoing repai the only American man of war in port. Officers and crew all weil. Nisto’s.—We must again express the unqualified delight we derived from witnessing the repreeenta- tion of the Ravels’ new pantomime of the “55 Mie- fortunes of Fortunatus.” To eay that it is the best of their productions will probably convey some idea of its costly scenery, ingenious mechanical trans formations, and amusing story, It must “run” throughout the remainder of the season to repay our friend Niblo the great expense evidently incurred in its production. To-night, in addition to the pan- tomime, we are to have the wonderful Bedouin Arabs, Daming by Madame Léon, Tight R ope, &e. &c. The pantomime is the greatest atiraction in the city, as is proved by the crowded and overflow- ing audiences. The expensive and pleasing variety at the garden will always ensure continuous success, Cuatuam TieatRe.—This establishment opens to night for the new campaign. The manager has engaged Mr. Burton fora few nights, and he makes his firet appearance this evening in two of his best characters, We refer our readers to the bill in our advertising columns, for particulars. VacxwaLt Garvens.—Jenkins and his associates, at this plece, continue to attract numbers nightly to hear and eee their pleasing performances. The ladies attached to this establishment are certainly very super or artistes. We anticipate a profitable week for all concerned rscon Course —The fall campaign begins thi day, when a great race between Lady Suflolk and Oneida Chief will come off Laver From Souvru Aprexiea,—By the arrival ¢f the schooner Saratoga, Captain Berise, at Salem, from Buenos Ayres and Montevideo, we have re- ceived full files of the “ British Packet” of the Ist July, and the “ Britannia and Montevideo Re- porter” 1o the same date, aad also letters from each place from our attentive correspondents, of still later dates :— 2 Montevipro, July Ast. Minisray or Wan ap Manive. DEURE Monrevipeo, June 29, 1843. When the independence ef the Republic was menaced by serious dangers, and when the seductions of the de- stroyer of the Argentinos streve to dissipate the elements of national resistance, and to poison the hearts of its brave detenders, the government had recourse to strong mea- sures, both just and necessary, in order to uphold the weak and overawe the traitorous. Among them was the painot death pronounced on all those Oriestals, who, abandoning the cause of their ceuntry and of the liberty of the Rio de la Plata, took up arms in tavor of the cause ofthe destroyer ; andon those others, who, while ser. ving io our army, deserted to his colors, Such as were fouud guilty etthese crimes, though few, have expiated them with their lives. Butcireumstances have changed, The national arms victorious in every pert of the Re public where they have been displayed, hold confined within a small space the horde which threatened us with conquest. His destruction will be but the work of a few days; his extermination is infallible. In such asitua- tion, the Government believes the proper time to have arrived for the display,towards their vanquished ene- mies, of that magnanimous generosity which has ever termed the i i example of willconvince them t of tyrants can c its neck to a foreign yoke. vernment accords and decrees Aur. 1.—That all those indi liable to i by decrees of the 12th of February, and by thearmy regulations for the crimes of treason and desertion are pardoned, and absolute obli- hall cover the acts of their past conduct, provided }, that they present themselves te the national au. thorities within the terms specified in the second article of this decree, Aur. 2 —For the individuals spoken of in the preceding article, the term of twenty days is fixed for those who may be within ten leagues from this capital, and filty days for such as are‘in any other part of theteraitory of the republic or abroad. Ant. 3.—Those individuals who allow these terms to pass over, or who within them may be taken in arms aguinst the bog d of the republic, suffer the penal. ties established by the decrees of the 12th of February, and by the army regulations. Ant. 4.—Let this be published, &e &e. SUAREZ, Mexcnor Pacueco y Ones, The momentary interdiction between the naval station of H.F.M. and the shore, which took place a few days sinc not changed in any manner the friendly rela- tions between the two powers, nor the considerations due tothe Portuguese flag. Published by order of the go- vernment. The Consul Genera! of the empire of Brazil, has return- ed to the exercise of his consular functions by the de mination of the Charge d'affaires, satisfaction of the government, who had made solicitation to this effect. The Brazilian population may consequently apply anew to their consular representative, in all that relates to his functions, as previously to the iacident which caused the momentary absence of the Consui General. The project for farming the customs duties for the year 1844, which we meationed in our last number as havin, been laid before the government, has undergone materia alteration in some of its articles, but we postpone the pub- lication of these amendments until we are further inferm: ed as to the probability of the proposals being accepted by the government. ‘The simple fact that such proposals are made at a moment when the customs duties scarcely render a single doilar of revenue, is an eloquent pruof of the credit which the government is yet in a state to com- mand, and of the littie fear that is entertained of the na- tional resources becoming the prey of the encroaching ambition of General Rosas, or the patrimony of the im- uals who have become becile chiets of his invadingarmy. The only want which the government can experience in order to its maintain. ing @ successful resistance and accomplishing the final deieat of its enemy, is a moterate sum of money, und we see by the presentation of this project that it ‘has the mean oi obtaiuing very much more than it requires for the purpose. The oe doubt that rested on the min f some as to the national capabilities of resistance is now removed, and we may therefore repeat more confidently than ever that the defeat and expulsion of the invading army of Resas is now reduced to a mere question as to the time that may be necessary. Buenos Ayasé, July st—The strong pampero wind on Monday last caused a very low tide Ail the vesseis in the inner and outer roads were aground—those in the former were left in a manner quite dry, and presented a most curious spectacle. Persons were riding on horse. back and walk.ng on the bank between the inner and outer roads. A considerable number of the anchors and cables lost in the gale of 30:h May last were recovered, There has not been so low a tide since that of the Suth July, 1833. On'Tuesday morning last, at 4 0’clock, two seamen of the Danish brig Fortuna, Capt. Hansen, lying in the outer roads, ran away with the launch of the brig, and took with them the Captain, who had jumped into the boat in order to detain them, The ruma ways were taken into custody the same day by Don Mariano Espeletia, Justice o! Peace of Saa Isidro, to which port they had fled. Capt. Hansen arrived in town in theevening. ‘The Captain of the Port had dispatched information of the event along the coast, and to him, and the worthy Justice of San Isidro, every praise is due. Onthe night of Friday, the 23d ult., at 8o’clock, the boat of the British barqne Ann, Capt. John Wildridge, capsized near the outer roads, and one of the crew, a boy, named Reginald Walter Sergeant, 15 years of age, na- tive of Clapham, near London, was drowned, the re- inder, 8 men, were saved by a boat from a Spanish vessel. We received yesterday at alate hour intelligence from Montevideo stating that the Riveristas there were in ex- stacies on account of the receipt of a dispatch from D. Frutos announcing a victory oathe 18th inst. at Solis Grande, over a detachment of the Confederate army, un dar the command of Col. Flores. We cannot help ca ling to mind, on this occasion, the despatch which the same D. Frutos wrote to Montevideo a short time previous to the battle of Arroyo Grande, in which ke announced the complete defeat of General Urquiza, the infallible presage he seid, of the immediate destruction of General Oribe’s army, albeit a few days after the routed troops were thrusting D. Frutos half naked over the Uruguay at the point of the lence. By astrange coincidence, then, as now, there was an importantend to be served. Then, as now,a loan was in agitation. So there is no denying it; D. Frutos is a favorite child of fortune; all bistriamphs happen in the very nick of time. The necessity for the scheme of finance, saidtohave been proposed by a cer- tain clerical economist, is now superseded. which, though brilliant, was not calculated to be very popular, being re- duced to this rather hard disjunctive—Ja bolsa o el quillo. If it betrue, as the adage says, that @ fool and his money easily part, a vast quantity of odium will ve avoid- ed in consequence of the late victory, from the alacrity with which voluntary contributions will flow into the Riverista cofters from all quarters. (Correspondence of the Herald.) Buenos Ayres, July 4, 1843. Dear Benni The American barque Serene, and brig Oswego, were sold at auction a few days since, for account of underwriters. We have also to note the loss of H. B. M. brig “Fantom” at the Colonias, and are informed she will prove a total loes. During the gale of the 24th nineteen veasels of different classes were lost at “Maldonado,” all foreign, We note also the seizure of the American schooner “Caroli- nian,” by the Montevideon gunboats under com- mand of Ganbaldi, and taken into the Monte for adjudication, she being, when taken, in the act of discharging her cargo in the port of Buseo, actually in possession of General Oribe’s army, (but not protected by auy navalforce ) The case has been thrown into the proper Court under the supervision of the American Consul; and it is hoped a prompt restitution wiil prove to be the decision thereof.— Enpassant, it may be proper to remark, the great wantof a sufficiently powerful naval representation in these waters, in these certainly exceedingly exi- gent times and state of exposure, in which are placed our citizens and their property, to whom it would certainly aflord pleasure to be allowed now and then a sight of the ‘‘star spangled banner” floating in the harbor. The Argentine squadron under Commodore Brown, has sailed for Montivideo to the assistance of General Onibe’s army. We have had some em- barcations of a small number of troops destined for the army cffthe Monte. The accounts of the ar- mies’ proceedings will be found in the avcompany- ing “British Packet.” The day we celebrate deserves a passing notice, and as an American, it was with feelings of pride that this morning trom the windows and balconies of the residences of all my countrymen, | saw gal- lantly waving, the “Stars {and Stripes.” Due ar- rangemenis have been made to celebrate the day by a dinner, which is to take place at Mr. Palmer’s He tel, and that a distinguished American gives at hisresidence a party aud ball, at which, undoubted- ly will be seen, all our fair countrywomen, in all theirloveliness, “tripping the light fantastic toe” in happy freedom and joyous mirth, “‘driving away dull care.” ‘ By first opportunity you may expect an account of the figurantes. Freights dull—also all kinds of business extremely dull. Hides are on the rise for U. States, 53 to $55 per pesada. For balance of prices! reter you to accompanying British Packet.

Yours, most truly. 2 Monrevipro, July 6, 1843. Business is extremely duil, and uatil the termina- tion of the present war, there are no hopes of its bettering. Yesterday the Colorados made a sally, the accountsof which are so contradictory that no reliance canbe placed upon them. Still it is gene- rally supposed thet the * Blanguillos” were on the vantage ground. The sally consisted of about 6,000 men. It seems some 50 or 60, on either side, were killed and wounded. Gen. Gribe says that he in- tends to pocsees himeelf by iatrigue, and not by force of arms, and moreover it is supposed that he has a number of friends inside the walls. ‘They still continue deserting, from either party. You will note that of twenty-one foreign vessels of war | in port, the Americans have one schooner. Flour, $10 on board, at which priee is now ell ing the cargo per Oliac Yours, in haste, 10.U. MExiG0,—The Mexican Miniter of Foreign Af fairs, has made a formal yr the American Minister in Mexico, of the cf NewMexico by a body of men from the western frontier of the United States, and has intimated that a demand willbe made on this government for the injuries sustained. The public is already aware cf ihe steps taken by General Gaines to arrest the freebooters, some of whom were taken and disarmed, but ne- vertheless the complaiat isa very proper one. The following is a translationof Mr. Bocanegra’s com- municatio' TY end Minster Plonipetenteny of the: United Staten Pavace or THE Nationa, Goveunment, Mexico, July 31, 1843. The public papers of Texas, as well asthe organs to which the conduct of Mr. Houston has given some force, in recently proclamming en armistice with the rest of the Republic, aud im manifesting his desire to bring’ about some arrangement which may put an end to the separation which bas existed since 1835, makes us naturally ac- knowledge that the government established in that dr- partment has not organized and does not sustain the ex. pedition, which accoiding to all appearance, is composed of citizens of the Umited States, has introduced itself iuto New Mexico, aterritory depending on this Repub lic, and thus, with true ‘object of conquest and plun- der, these men have armed themselves against a coun- try which they invade with no other pretext than that of depredation, subjecting themselves by this sole act to be treated with all the rigor which the laws of nations prescribe against those who violate the most sacred prin- ciples at the same time with existing treaties. rms and resources with which they have attempt- ed this invasion, have been drawn trom Missouri, Illinois, and the Territory of Arkansas, countries which belong te the Un.ted States. This conduct is the more astonish- ing, a8 Mexico sees it practised at the very moment that she reiterates proofs of the best harmony with those States, without giving them any motive for invading her territory by that nation, and when she is religiously car- rying into effect, with the good faith and punctuality with which nations fulfil their engagements, the pay: ments to which she bound herself by the conventions of 1839 and 1843, } The assault to which the undersigned alludes, which is committed at the moment when Texas sustains trans actions tending to regulate the differences commenced, | and kept up for nine years, has not been and cannot be indifferent to his Excellency the Provisional President, and the undersigned has received express orders to ad- dress to his Hxceilency the Eavoy Extraordinary of the i ind to inform him, in order that he may ernment, that the Supreme Government jormally and solemnly protest against the in- sion of New Mexico by citizens of the United States, as an act openly hostile, and c»ntrary tothe law ef nations; he expenses incurred by Mexico Pi these aggressions, and all the damages re- sulting from them, will bu claimed proper time by the Republic, to which, from this a large and just satisfaction isdue To demand terof right between friendly nations, is another command mate to the undersigned, and acc dingly he hereby fulfils the same, Jt is ademand sustained by the common law, the rights of nations, the international rights, and the principles of a vigorous justice. fexico sees one of her department attacked by an arm- ed band, with no other pretext than that of eggression ; she sees at the same time the views and intentions which animate them; and although she ia not ignorant of what class to which those men belong, she is, nevertheless, aware that they are citizensof the Ucited States, and that profiting of their local situation, and their proximity to the frontiers, they are striving. by devastation, to enjoy all the advantages derived {rom invasions by aa armed force, without regard and consideration to the cense. quences to which such acts may expose them. And exico, knowing to what government belong those who commit these acts who is aware of the wrongs and i justices which they cause, will she remain a tame spec- tator of her citizens andterritory suffering all the evils of an invasion like this, committed by men who ought to respect the laws of nations, and the treaties existing between thetwo republics 7 If those who are guilty of this conduct were Mexicans, how would the fact be exaggerated, how would the people of the United States declaim against it as atrocious and unheard of ? If it be the duty of the undersigned to address the pre- sent communication to Mr. Thompson, he doubts not that the Government of the United States, from which the Mexican @overnment receives the most expressive proofs of kindness, will receive the present reclamation a: netional duty, which eminently affects the general and ublic interests of the people of Mexico, and the happiness for which the provisional President is re- sponsible. The undersigned repeats to his Excellency, Mr. Thompson, the assurance of his most distinguished con- sideration. JOSE MARIA DE BOCANEGRA. Bowery Amruirueatre.—This well established and highly respectable place of amusement gives a splendid equestrian entertainment this evening, combining a rare display of talent by one of the finest Cireus companies in the United States. In addition to a great variety of equestrianism and other games and exercises of the arena, those cu- rious melodists, the ‘* Minstrels of the South,” wil! treat the audience with an olio of negro songs and extravaganzas. The British Indian Encampment, together with warricrs, chiefs, squaws, papooses, wigwarns, war dances, &c., will close the interest- ing entertainment. The Ampitheatre is spacious, convenient, and thorougly ventilated, and is one of the cheapest and most agreeable places of amuse- ment now open. Court FoR THE Correction or Errors, Sept. 2, 1€43.—On motion of Senator Bockee, ordered, that this court will not hear any arguments of causes on the calendar of writs of error during the present term, und that the next term of this court be held at the capitol, in the city of Albany, commencing onthe 7th day of October next, at 12 o’clock at noon, and that writs of error have preference at said term, and that no appeals be heard betore the first we of November next. ylvanus H. <ineves oe al, appellants, vs. the Presi- dent of the Salina Bank, respondent.

Ingles, was, afiera Jong examination at the Al- bany Police Office on Friday, tully committed ona charge of forgery and conspiracy. The forgery was anute ot purporting to have been drawn by John McKowe of Guilderland in that county. We are indebted to the Citizen for the following par- ticulars of this latest demonstration in the walks of roguery :— The facts are that Ingles went to the house of J. McK. and represented himeelt to be a drover, and thathe had a note drawn by John De Grott, dated September 15, 1838, tor $4900, and that it was lett in the hands of Walter King, eq. of Patterson, N. J.as collateral security of $150, which note he wished Mr McK. to dispose of for him at $5000, and when so dis; osed of he would pay him tor his trouble $200. lie accordingly gave Mr. McK. a certificate to that purpose. He wished McKown to write to a Mr. Casbroom, in Troy, and to a Mr. Newcomb, and leave the letters at Louck’s tavern, where Ingles obtained them. He engaged Mr Edward mei, and Mr. George Sievens to go o McKown to offer him $4900 for the note of Be Grott . Ingles afterwards showed the note of $5000 to a Mr. Rice of whom|ngles obtained some cattle, and gave the note to him as collateral security for the payment of the same. Mr. Rice, doubting the ge- nuineness of the said note went with Ingles to Mc- Kown, and Ingles at his request asked 1a the pres- ence of Mr. McKown it the $5000 note was genuine, and thinks Mr McKown said it was. Mr. Rice thisk- inghe alluded to the note in his pocket, and Mr. McKown not knewing then anything about the $5,090 note on himeelf, and thinking ofthe $4,900 he answered in the affirmative. Several papers were found in the neck-handker- chief of Ingles, among which was the copy of the $4900 note, and on one were two namcs of persons to be witnesses to the tote, &c. in Maryland, to each of whom he would have to pay $60. Among his papers was a note payable to the Ca- nal Bank tor $6,000 not signed, and the letter to yiich he had procured the signature of Mr. Mc- own. Fraarant Ovrrace on tue Decencres or Pri- vate Lirg—A Young Max rounp in THE Brp oF ‘two Youne Lapizs.—In Rochester on Tuesday night a coujle of young Jadies awoke and found a young man upon their bed, who, upon being disco- vered, darted through the open window without coat, vest, or cence Tne young ladies gave the alarm, and the young gentleman was discover- ed snugly hid away under a pile of boarde in the yard. He was taken to the watch house, but next morning was released _by the magistrate because he had committed no offence against the laws ; the window was open, and therefore it was not burela ry ; there was nothing stolen, and of course it wes not felony ; and as the young rascal was very tor tunately frustrated in his designs of violence, he could not be held for committing or intending to commit arape. The ‘* Democrat” asks, with great ropriety “what protection has a man for his tami- y il if the ruffian, who is found in the dead hour ot nightin bed with his daughters,is suflered to gofree?”’ and advises that each man, in cases of this nature, take the ’aw into bis own hands, by administering with the horsewhip such a castigation as will effec tually cool the raseal’s courage tor another attempt of the kind. fg tis rumored in Charleston (says the S oathern Baptist Advocate) that our excellent fellow citizen, Dr. Boone, has been selected as the new Bishop whom the Protestant Epiveopal Church will send to _ Clty Intelligence. 7 Count or Gengnat Sessions.—The September term this Court commences this day st cleven o'clock, before Recorder Tallmadge and Aldermen Woodhull and Dan- ning. Nochange has been made, as was contemplated, and hoped for, m the iaterior of the Sessions Room. The only change will be in the Clerk’s department—the newly appointed deputy, Alfred A. Phillips, E°q., eppearing in the place of the resigned James Kelly, Esq , whose future sphere of usefulness we are not so presumptuous as to hint at. On his retirement, the Court paid him, de. servedly, a high tribute for his strict and business-like deportment. while Deputy Clers, and his successor hes been chosen with a view to secure to the department a continuance of the energy, ability and steadiness required by the public in the person who will supply the vacancy, Nor could a better selection have been made, as, from Mr. Phillips’ intimate connection with the District At- torney’s Ottice, it is presumed he must be thoroughly ac- quainted with the routine of office and criminal court du. ues. The number of cases on the calendar is larger,and of a more than usually interesting character, such 28 will keep the court, lawyer: 1 reporters fully employed for the next thri The visit ef the Recorder to Black well’s Isl ig the past week has given him an opportunity of examining more minutely into the state ofthe several departments, and we may expect ma- ny useful and veluabd! uggestions for their more com- plete «tliciency inhis charge tothe grand inquest. We are furnished by the keeper of the City a with the following “calender of all the prisoners confined thereio, for the General Sessions, to be held on the 4th September, 1543.”—Grand Larceny 13; Burglary 18; Forgery 7; Mar der 1; Assault and Battery with intent to kill ‘hway Robbery 1; Abandonment 1; Disorderly House 1; Arso 4; Attempt at Burglary 1; Receiving Stolen Goods 3; Embezzlement 1; Witness Number of malo prisoners 49, Kemale8. Total 67. This isa large ci der, but many of the cases have been laid over since the July term. Sians or Activity inte Watcn Derartment.—We have always advocated the necessity of establishing a Patrol Police and Watch in this city, as the only meansof checking crime, and relieving the community of the hundreds of rogues, touchers, prestitutes and loafers which now feed upon it, in the abseace of wholesome re- ulations to prevent and punish. ‘Tae moment evening 1p, it is almost impossible for any virtuousor pro minded citizen, of either sex, to traverse our crowded thoroughfares,such as Broadway, Chatham street, and the Bowery, without coming in contact witb pollution in some shapeor other. Walk up Broadway alter y o'clock, and at the corners of almost every street, from Vesey to Grand, you will find groups of rowdies, some fashionably dressed, others of the regular swell mob, but all persons of rude and disorderly habits, whose language, conduct, and attitudes, forcibly present themselves upon the proper minded man, a8 highly indecorot ind discreditable to the government and police regulations of the city. The same faults present themselves in the other great arteries ot our metropolis, with this exception, that the fashiona- ble rowdy dows not vegetate out of the grand artery. Flaunting in the gay attire of prostitution and sin, wo- men parade in pairs or singly, and with gesture and un- mistakeable expressions, supply those fellows with food for ribald jests and blosphemous retort, which causes the timid wife, sister, or lady friend, to cling imploringly to your arm, and graspit, as if they dreaded personal en- counter. Indeed, ladies often excuse themselves when invited to {ake a stroll down Broadway to the Battery, by ay ing that they could much more willingly forego the leasure of the walk, than be compelled to listen to the expressions which ere sure to meet theit ears by the way. It isnot a mere walk for pleasure which. tempt a lady, even though under the guardianship of a gentle- man, todare the gauntlet of Broadway after dark, and when they must go on business, with a throbbing heart and rapid step, for they are too anxious to escape from the rude gaze of the rowdy, and the close contact with the harlot. This is not idle talk, or afancy sketch, bat aplain statement of facts, which are nightly im‘ pressed upon ourselves, as we pass to and fro, observing, and observant. It is what we hear {rom others, who are nightly compelled to thread those streets from their places of busidess to their homes. It is what has been again and repeatedly complained of by the press and ublic minded citizens, who are cog nt of the fact, rom having suffered in ther own persons, or from listen: ing to the relation of the insu! ind wounded feelings of their wives and daughters.

Deatn By a Fatt tHrover a Scurtee.—On Saturday afternoon, about four o’clock, a man named Frederick Roome fell through the scuttle hole of the second story of Messrs Gilman, Small & Co.’s store, at No.11 Ferry street, and was almostimmediately killed The deceased was a native of Germany, and aged about 51 years. He was emplayed by the ebove firm as their cartman, and it is supposed that while sleeping upon a roll of heavy lea- ther which lay near the hatchway, he suddenly rolied off and met his untimely fate. He was conveyed tothe City Hospital by direction of Dr. Richard K. Hoffman, but died wit n hour after admission. A post mortem examina- tion was made, when it was found that the scul! was ex- tensively fractured from the vortex to the base, involving the parietal, occipital and spheroid bones, which are ne- cessarily fatal. ‘he jary, at the Coroner's inquest held yesterday, returned a’ verdict that death was caused from injury done to the brain by accidentally falling through the hatch way of No. 11 Ferry street. The deceased lived at No. 20 Minetto street.

My arrest was founded upon the unsupported deciaration of one Richard Sutton, who, in the same deposition, solemnly makes oath that he di on three several occasions, within the last ten months, commit wilful, deliberate, and corrupt perjury, under the expectation and hope of pecuniary reward It may hereafter appear by what combina'ion of a lice magis*rate, roiice officer, and an indicted burgler and robber, this common perjurer was induced to lay his false egainst me, and how credit came to be given ae, ae a fener ig fly (on one time in direct cor owth en ii t ge the same transaction cies panteellen |t is my present purpose to sh. ries Sutton has committed or can] ver infuoeatoeeen te has committed heretofore, there can be no doubt of his willul perjury in the depesition taken betore Justice Mat- sell, which was made th the matter, thi in makin, that deposition, Sutton makes ‘oat that he was iwoad by me to mate Jase Maria Lunar, the plaintiff’ in ¢ suit pending in the Superior Court ogainst the ‘Atlantis Insurance Company, and to make oath before lsaac bagh and Thomas Snowden, that he wasthe said Lunar. Mr. Labagh and Mr. Snowden have both been called the city prison, where he is incarcerated, by the officers of the police, to identify this Sutton, as th reon who swore to the said attidavits before them, and Mr. Snow- den then and now declares that he does not recognise the said Sutton as the man who swore to the affidavit mad before him; and Mr. Labagh expressly sweurs that he knows that Sutton is not the man who swore tothe atfida vit made betore him. Another sflidavit was made by Mr, Lunar im the same cause, before H. H. Byrne, E+q., who has also seen this Sutton, and he swears expressly that he knew Sutton previously for two years, and that Sutton is not the man who appeared before him and made oath to the affidavit as Mr. Lunar. In seeking to eff ct a compromise with the Atlantic Company, I wrote a letter to them which has been a sub. ject of publication, the innocent expressions of which have been misconstrued or misunderstood, but [ have no appre- hension of the construction which will be put upon it by the intelligent, candid and disinterested. It is proper to state that the charge of conspiracy against Mr. J. G. Ha- milton is wholly unfounded; and that by doing some acts for me, at my request, the most unjust and immode: suspicions have found grounds to implicate him with mo in acharge of conspiracy, and the insurance compan has been enabled to bring upon me a reproach, throug the laws, which they may have felt unwilling to have asserted upon personal responsibility. In submitting the affidavits which contradict the te sition of Sutton, taken before Justice Matsell, I will adu, that our laws have wisely prohibited personal revenge from interfering with public justice. But this case proves that it may still work, not less zealously or bitterly, under color of law, and the name of the State bi sumed, not for the pelo good, but for private malice, and to serve unworthy purposes, in a civil suit.

The pecket ship Utica seiled tor Havre on Saturday with $87,000 only im specie. The same ship on the same day in 1911, carried out $124,000. The rates of bills on Paris on that day was $5222 $520,and now $525, not withstanding that near $2,000,009 in value of cotton has been shipped to France this year less than in 1840. To Eng land the excess of shipment this yeur has been immense. This year there is but little to pay in the shape of old debts, consequently the whole proceeds of the exports return with their accumulated profits. It will be remembered thata few years since, a mania existea among a small class of financiers to bubble up broken banks, and send the bills by numerous agents through the valley of the Mississippi to pass them off upen the planters. Enormous swindles were perpetrated in that manner, notwithstanding our persevering industry in exposing them. Those gentry having remained quiet fora long time, are now again busy at the same nefarious practices. A broker at St. Louis is connected with a con- cern at Columbus, Ohio, @ broken bank in Maryland, and a miserable little free or “ freebooting” bank in this city, with the view to inundate the valley of the Missis- sippi with northern shinplasters, post notes, &c.

There isnocurrency so sofeas specie, and where notes of distant banks are tendered in payment in the interior, ther: jure to be something wrong.

The redemption, it appears, goes on very slowly. It has been announced that the $7,000,000 loan, bearing 5 pr. ct. was all taken. Tngt loan was authorised by the act of March 3, 1843, to re- deem the outstanding Treasury notes. That act did not, however, authorise the stock loan and the Treasury notes also.

Now in 1841, it will be observed, that the duties were but 11 per centof the whole imports ; with the close of that years the tariff laying a 20 per cent duty upon all articles there- tofore free, went into operation. That tariff was estima. ted to yield $5,000,000 additional in the Treasury. The effect of it is seen in the following year 1942. In thet year, the imports were reduced, to say,in round numbers $10,000,000, and the duties bore a proportion of 18.3 pcr cent instead of 11 percent,as ia the former year. With the close of the fiscal year 1942, the present tariff went into operation, and the imports of the fourth quarter were reduced to one half of what they were inthe correspond- ing quarter of 1£41. In January, the imports reached a very low point, being for the whole Union, for the month, short of $5,000,000. Since then they have in- creased about 60 per cent, but are yet remarkably small. If in each month of the July quarter, the imports are as large os in that month, the aggregate for the quarter will be $26,052,000, In the same quarter of Jast year, they were $26,111,101, and in 1841 they were $31,484,418. There figures show incontrovertibly, that the trade of York, which is essentially commercial, has suf- fered immensely under the sudden and unfortunate change in ‘he commercial policy of the country, which ‘was supposed to have been settled on a permanent basis by the act of 1833. Sec. 5 of the oct of March 2,1333, states as follow: “And all imports on which the first section of this ac may operate, und all articles now admitted to entry free oft duty, or paying a less rate of Ln than twenty a centum ad valorem, before the said day of June, 1342, from and after that day, be adm to entry, sub ject to such duty, not exceedi ing 20 per cenium ad valorem, ‘as shall be provided for by law.” Now this law was not considered by the people bind- ing to prevent future Legislatures from doing as they pleased. No Congress had any right to bind a future ones but it was looked upon by the merchants, traders, and people at large as a pledge that the commercial policy was settled forever. That the unconstitutionel ruin of one class of persons for the benefit of another, formed hence orth no part of our republican policy; that our commercial policy, should, like our political policy, be henceforth the “American policy.” That Europe, with its monarchial governments and exclusive privileges, should no longer be servilely followed. The people could no longer be blinded with the name “American policy,” which is applied Wy politicians toa system which has been practised by every petty tyrant upon tho face of the earth from time immemorial. If any lawyer were to propore hereditary titles of nobility, and cell it the “American system,” he would be laughed at by the samo persons who advocate the «xyloded “ protective” follies of Europe under that epithet. The spirit of all “Ameri- can systems” is essentially freedom, Freedom of speech, of thought, of religion, of politics, and freedom of com= merco alto, After the war of 1816, the “European rye, tem” of protecting the fow st the expense of the many, rapidly gained ground. ‘Che tariffs of 1916-94-98. 32, were on an ascending scale, until In 1833, monoyoly reached
