NEW YOR === kK HERALD. from EKurope—Extra Herald. We think that to-day we must receive news from Europe. The Caledonia was out fiiteen days vesterday. {cg We shal! receive by the Caladonia and have for tale at this office all the foreign papers, to- gether with London illustrated papers. ‘The Position of the Government—S§: Parties. The situation of the government in relation to the great political parties, isa peculiar one. It presents a new phase in the operations of our institutions.— ‘The whig party came into power in the advocacy ol certain principles which they could not carry out, and the course of events separated the executive from the support of the party which elected him. in this country party spirit has run so high, and par- tisans have become so indentified with party views, rather than thet which 1s for the best interests of the whole country, that the justice, the truth, or the importance of any measure advanced has far less influence with them than the bearing it may have upon party interests, and through that upon their in- dividual advancement. Hence, when the Chief Magistrate became severed from those whose suf- es elected him, he failed to receive the support of the opposite party ; because, however much his measures may have accorded with their principles, yet there were other individuals who claimed prio’ rity in the advocacy of those principles. The exe- cutive thus stood between the two factions, liable to the inflaence and control of either, or to defeat the dominant party by the interposition of the veto power. By a singular combination of circumstan- ces, however, the parties are so diviced, that nei- ther the one nor the other can carry through its measures at the coming session of Congress, and utive is shorn even of that influence which © power would have bestowed upon him. The lower house is composed of that party which advo. cates the sub-Treasury, a low tariff, economy, and a discharge of the public debts. None) of these views can be carried out, because the Senate is composed of an opposite party which contends for a national bank, a distribution of the lands, a continuance of the high tariff, and as a necessary consequence, eitheran increase of the public debtor direct taxa- tion. This is a position of affairs which neutralizes all parties and leaves the Executive dependent alone upon existing laws to carry on the government. For tree years the strife of parties will stand in the way of any legislation which will give a party character to the movements of the Executive. Here 1s a glo- rious chance to rescue the federal government from that spirit of party against which the first President cautioned his fellow citizens. At this moment none of the favorite schemes of either party are in exis- tence, except the tariff. There is no bank. There salso no sub-Treasury, nor will there be for at least three years to come. In that time great events will happen. Whoever looks back at the past three years and refleets upon the rapid liquidation of banks, of the discharge of debts, and of the equalization of the exchanges, until affairs have arrived at their pre- sent comparatively prosperous position, must be con- vineed that, during the next three or tour years, which must elapse before the operation of the 28:h Congress can take eflect,an immense change for the better willhave taken place, commercial affairs will have accommodated themselves to the state of things, old party prejudices will have subsided. Neither a national bank nor its counter part, a sub- Treasury, will continue to be attractive. In all that time the government must be carried on onits own resources, without new legislation, and according to the democratic motio, “ that is the best govern- ment which governs’ least” The present is likely to prove the best we have ever had. The able men now in the cabinet are doubtless as well able to carry the government through this great crisis as aay ever before in office. The master spirit is John ©. Spencer; his business habits and persevering in- dustry, with the extraordinary rapidity with which he arrivesat a sound judgment upon all subjects, point him out asthe skilful pilot who will carry the government through the shoals of party, and make new combinations necessary for the succeeding campaign. Todo this requires extraordinary re- of | } | Wao turnep 1 THon We have often asked the question, and its impor- tance requires that we should repeat it until we get an answer. It is a question, the solution of which affects the purity of the administration of justice.— Much has been said of police corruption and of the compounding of felonies by officers who have eve- ry inducement offered to them by the existing sys- tem to do so. Officers who have no allowance in the shape of weekly or annual salary, nor any com- pensation beyond a trifling pittance for the execu- tion of warrants and other process of the courts, aod who are minus all the outlay of an unsuccesstul uit of a violator of the laws, may be expected o take a quiet doucewr to permit a stolen pocket- book to be secretly re-conveyed into the pocket of a complaining victim, whereby he becomes stigma- tized as a person who preferred an accusation of crime without being robbed. The mode of course has other varieties, but whatever they may be, we repeat that a subordinate officer may,by his circum- stances, be induced to compound a felony, and let the criminal prey still longer on the community.— But in this case the charge affeets a much higher officer, and the facts are simple. ‘Thompson, a no- torious thief, is at length caged on charges which are susceptible of proof. Grand larceny, arson, and other offences of a grave character are brought home tohim, and he is committed for trial. The proof is submitted to the Grand Jury, and it is so satisfactory to their minds that they find six true bills against him, on which he is held for trial. No trial, however, takes place, and soon this noto- rious man is seen at large, defying justice, and at liberty again to prey on the citizens who pay for the protection of their property, and establish courts for the punishment of its despoilers. Why, then, has thisman been turned loose, and by whom has itbeen done? And, again, is there no means to be adopted to bring him to justice? The District At- torney, with the consent of the court, in the dis- charge of an important and responsible duty, is, un- der some circumstances, at liberty to enter a nolle prosequi on an indictment against an accused per- son. Take, for instance, the case of Carter, who has been recently tried for the murder of Castner, in New Jersey. The murders were numerous, but all committed at the same time, and doubtless by the same person, Separate indictments, however, were preferred in each case, and as Carter hasbeen tried and acquitted on one, it would be useless to try him on the others, which must be sustained by the same inconclusive evidence, and therefore the Attorney General, with the consent of the court, may enter a nol, pros. on the untried indictments. Is this case of Thompson’s then, one of such a na- ture ? By no means; nor is there any satisfactory rea: son shown why so daring and so guilty a man should be turned again loose on society. Who, then, was the active agent ? Mr. Whiting was unable, at that time, to attend to the duties of his office, which were entrusted, in consequence, to a man of the name of Strang, whose assent is recorded as the District Attorney pro tem. by the endorsement of his name; but notwithstanding this conclusive evidence, he casts back the responsibility on “the court,” whose passive and uninformed creature he admits himself to have been. If he is a creditable witness, it becomes necessary to enquire who constitutes the Court, and Mr. Recorder Tallmadge stands forth as the presiding Judge, on whom, if uncontradicted, the heavy respensibility must fall. Mr. Recorder Tallmadge,however,positively denies all knowledge of the transaction, and his denial stands arrayed against the assertion of Mr. Strang, against whom there is, in addition, the damning evidence ot his own signature, recorded by his own hand. Let Mr. Strang take either of the two positions then, which he may the most prefer, and either will bean unenviable one. He has either liberated this manThompson’on his own responsibility—a position, which the evidence which we here furnish would seem to sanction—or hewas a mere passive imbecile tool in the hands of somebody else, which would show how il] qualified he was for the sacred responsi- bilities of the office into which he was thrust by the District Attorney. Mr. Strang himéeli, by his pub- lished letter, lays claim to the latter position, and if it be conceded, further comment is unnecessary;but the testimony of Mr. Recorder Tallmadge would establish the former, and what a long train of evils may we not expect to follow such an un- checked exercise of absolute power. A weak, sources of mind and facility in applying existing laws to the wants of the government, which are | many and pressing. It becomes every citizen to | lend his aid in sustaining the Federal Government, especially when temporarily deprived of the support ot party. Weshall enter more fully into this sub- ject Boarp or Heaute.—This body met last evening, in order to act on a number of applications to allow a number of vessels lying at Quarantine, from New Orleans, that had remained there thirty days, to come up to the city. Many of these vessels have Unus fulfilled the operations of the law, so far as the jurisdiction of the Health Officer extends; but still the Board of Health have a diseretionary power over the matter. The yellow fever having been raging at New Orleans when these veseels left, and cases ocetirring from some of them almost every day, at Quarantine, the applications were nearly all laid upon the table, as the members feared that while the weather continued so warm, danger was to be apprehended to the community at large,provi- ded the requests were granted. Tae Bowne Green Fountain has been illumi- nated very frequently of late, and has attracted a crowd ef admirers from eight till nine o’clock. The effect produced has been fine, and the novelty plea- sing. By the way, we have been told a story about the building of this fountain, which we think is too good to keep to ourselves. When the petition first came up in the Common Council, it was rejected by 4 large imajority, on the ground that the Croton should not spout to adorn the residences of the rich, while the poor man had to pay for the permission to use it for domestic purposes. However, before (he next meeting of the Board, it was arranged that {the contract would be given to a certain Assist- ant Alderman—who understands the contract sys- tem too well to let such achance slip through his fingers—it could possibly be carried through. The contract was given, at a sacrifice, and the petition was adopted, a great majority voting in favor of it. Perhaps if the St. John’s Park folk would try the same argument, no difficulty would impede the im- nediate adoption of their prayer. News From Canapa.—His txcellency, the Go- vernor General of Canada, has been received on us Provineial tour, at Toronto, with an enthusiasm vat has seldom been extended to his numorous pre- decessors, and in proportion tothe expectation that section of the Province was more peculiarly adapted for the Queen’s vicegerent. As Sir aarles Metealie has not yet had an opportunity “to define his position,” it is not unlikely that un- ul the ine of the House of Assembly, he will throw the mant ery over the shoulders of his syco phants Latest FROM GuapaLovurs.—Capt. Hinckley, 0 he Rival, at Boston, from Point Petre, Guadas loupe, 18th ult, reports that shocks of earthquake continued to be felt at that port; the ruins of the own are being 1emoved, but slowly. Much com- aint is made in regard to the distribution of the money received from France and the United States, We., only those owning houses receiving anything, and they in the shape of a loan. (cj The President of the United States returned on Saturday last, from a vis« to his triends in Clark county, to the Winchester Springs uy Virgil Maxcy, late minister to Belgium, and Wm H. Harris, member of the last Congress, are candidates for the clerkship of the next House { Ke presentatives yet unjust and needy man, might thus turn loose, for a consideration, the most worthless | and dangerous of the human race, and courts of justiée might, by such agency, become but the marts of corruption and an exchange wherein to purchase immunity for crime, for which a tariff would be adjusted by common consent, in propor- tion to the “deep damnation” of the crime com- mitted. We fear to contemplate the evils that may follow, and hence we reprobate an act, how innocent soever it may have been, which may by possibility prepare the way for such a state of things. We therefore again, and shall again ask, “* Who turned loose ‘one eyed’ Thompson.” Nreio’s. —The most crowded saloon of the whole season was assembled last night to hear the rival prima donnas, Corsini and Majocchi; they both sang excellently and were enthusiastically applaud- ed. The audience were perfectly enraptured with some of the airs sung by Corsini, who is a sing. er of extraordinary power and compass, with a de- licate flexible exec ution. Signor Antognini under- took Pollion at a short notice, and acquitted himself very creditably. Signor Perozzi will, however, ap- pear in the same character to-morrow might. This evening Charles Winther takes a benefit. “ Ellen,” the new pantomine, that was so attractive last sea- son, isto be given. Zight Rope, on which the bene- Aiciaré will execute some unusually surprising feats. Winther’s has no rival as a rope dancer. Gabriel Ravel appears in two characters, and the attractive “55 misfortunes” concludes. CuatHam.—We dropped into this little place of pleasure last evening, and were never better pleased with an entertainment. Hill wasin all his glory, and the audience in an exciting state of humor. This evening, he appears in the ‘Knight of the Golden Fleece” and the “Yankee Pedlar,” with also the popular farce of “‘ My Wite’s Dentist.” And by the!way, we must not neglect to make mention of the pretty Miss Rallia, who repeats her broad sword hornpipe, in which she exhibits greater energy and skill than any dancer we have witnessed for years. Deatu or a Circus Perronmen.—Mr. Aymer, a well known American Circus performer, recently broke his neck at Batty’s Circus, in the Isle of Jer- sey. A London paper gives the following account of the calamitous event :— This unfortunate man, whose recent performance at the English Opera, under the management of Van Amburg and Titus, excited so much admira- tion in his peculiar department, met his death on ‘Thursday night at the Circus of Mr. Batty, proprie- tor of the Royal Amphitheatre, who has several establishments in various parts of the kingdom, and one in the Island of Jersey, where the late performer was fulfilling an engagement. The par- ticular performance for which Mr. Aymer was an- nounced coucluded with a double summerset, a feat considered almost (if not quite) impossible, and in throwing it the ill-fated artist, instead ot alighting on his feet, fell on his neck, and death was the immediate result. Mr. Baity on hearing the fatal intelligence yesterday morning, imme- diately quitted London for Jersey, to render ever: assistance that his liberality can eflect on the mel- ancholy occasion. Smith, @ great trampoline and vaulter, met his death in a manner precisely simi- ‘ar during the management of Messrs. Ducrow and West, at Ashley’s, some seasons back. Incenious Escarz.—A soldier of the 85th Light Infantry, stationed on the Canada frontier, snug! encased his body coporeal in a large emigrants chest, and effected his escape across he 45th paral- lel in @ sieamer, to Plattsburgh. Arrain or Honor Apsusren.—We learn that the misunderstanding between Captain Charles A. May, ef the United States Dragoons, aud Philip B Key, Esq hasbeen amicably and satistactorily adjusted by the friends of the parties. Mr Key is now in this city, and Captain May in Washington. Atul! ye |( w said that Booth, the tragedian, has be- ome ateetotaler, Doubtiul statement of the matter, from those immediately in. terested, will, we learn, be made in the course of a lew days.—Baltimore Patrvot. Great National Repeal Convention Meetigg of the Delegates—Election of a Committee to Nominate Officers—Nomina- tion of Robert Tyler—Rejeetion, and sub- sequent Election of Robert Tyler to the Presidency. ‘Twelve o'clock yesterday the green flag was hoisted at the Tabernacle, and there gathered the repeal representa: tives from every part of the United States, from Maine to Georgia. The delegates took their seats within the tem- porary railing, and presented their credentials, which were read aloud by Bartholomew O'Connor, Esq., acting secretary. This necessarily occupied much time. Af ter the names had been called over, and the delegates present had answered, John McKeon was elected Pre: dent of the Convention pro tem, The Convention was called to order by the chairman: who requested the secretary to read over and report the States represented, and the number of delegations present from each. Repeal associations in the following States have reported to have sent delegations, as follows :— Maine sent delegates from five associations ; Massachu- setts 8; Rhode lsland2; Connecticut3; New York 16; New Jersey 3; Pennsylvania® ; Maryland 1; Delaware 1; North Caroline1; Michigan 1; ‘isconsin 1; Geor- gia 1; District of Columbia 1.—Total, 47 asso siations. Mr. Wasnt, of Roxbury, then rose and offered a resc- lution that one member irom each delegation repre- sented, be sprain to nominate candidat for the olti- cers of President, Vice President, and Secretaries. Mr. Crianuxs O'Conyon—Mr. Chairman, I propose an amendment, which I think will more fairly represent the wishes of the Convention. It , that a committee of two from each State here represented, retire and select proper persons, to be proposed to this meeting as officers. Such officers to consist of one President, 13 Vice Presi: dents, and 5 Secretaries, Several members here arose, and for some minutes nothing could be heard but “Chair, chair”—* I protest” “ Disgracelul gaggery.” Atlength the Cbar, during a lull, announced that Mr. Wright, of Roxbury, had the floor.’ As soon as we could hear that gentleman, we ga- thered that he denounced the proposition of Mr’ 0'Cou- nor as an attempt to control the fair election. (Shouts of “ Hear, hear,” and hisses.) That such an attempt would be flung back upon New York by every State with indig- nation. (Cheers and groans.) “Boston bas two societie: represented here, as respectable in intelligence, as excel ling in patnotism as any of the New York societies. (Cheers) They came here to do what their constituents directed them to do, and that was, their duty as men and as Repealers, and nothing should deter or turn them aside trom that duty. (Cheers.) The course pursued in Philadeiphia at the Convention of 1842, was the course now proposed, and no man could dissent from the pro- priety of that without, A ‘gentleman with spectacles, here rose and said, “1 callthe speaker to order.” (Loud cries of “ Go on”— “ Order”—“,Mr, Chair.”) ‘The Chair decided that Mr. Wright must not wander from the question. Mr. Waicut—I_ do not intend,to eccupy the time of the Convention, but I press my motion, and with the voice of Massachusetts, declare—it is what we expect and whatwe demand. (Loud cheers.) Several speakers cried out together— from each delegation is the fairest”. &c..intermingled with much confusion. Mr. Sroxes, from Philadelphia, next obtained posses: sion of the floor, and said, I regret, sir, to witness a scene such as now is presented here. We have not assembled to quarrel about such a trifling matter as to who shall nomiuate officers. No, sir, 1 take it, is a matter of too little importance to create a difficulty among us at the very outset of this great, this important meeting. (Hear.) Sir, I feel satisied that no man can be elected as an offi- cer, unless he be one who has the full confidence oftevery delegate here—(hear)—and, sir, I will tell the gentlemen who shall have the nomination of officers, that unless they make their selection in conformity to the general will, that there will be no delicacy in telling them that they have been derelict in their duty, and that such persons will not be confirmed in the choice of the convention. (Applause). Gassevoont Metvitir.—lIt strikes me, sir, that I have 8 proposition to make which will end all the difticulty, end restore harmony and unanimity among us. Sir, | wish to cement every member, every delegation in one harmonious bond ; and I offer as the means, that we now proceed Democratically, to elect a President. pose Ropert Tyver to fill the high office of President of the Convention. (Shouts—groans—cheers—hisses—y os —yes—no—no—order—Tyler, Tyl ‘ue Crain.—Gentlemen, I must request you will keep order, and allow the business to go on. (Several cries of question, question). The motion for the election of pre- sident is out of order, and I beg that members will refrain from exhibiting any tokens of approbation or disapprobe- tion at this stage of the proceedings. iLLe.—Then, sir, I move that thetwo pre- motions lay on the table, for the sole purpose of «Mr. Chair, one Pat the question,” nominating Robert Tyler for chairman. Cuanzes O’Connon, standing on the seat.—Mr. Chair- man, in order to secure some degree of order and deco- rum, I offer as a resolution that the rules of the House of Representatives of the United States be adopted, as the rules of this Convention. Carried. Cuain.—The motion is in order—(cries ot “no, no,” “Mr. Chair,” “I have the floor,” &c. ‘There were evident symptoms of disapprobation at’ the nomination). Gentle- men, I put it without debate, and will decide it by a viva voce vete ; those in favor of the motion will please s4y aye. [Here a roar of ayes followed, but a more vigo- rous shout of nays succeeded, which puzzled the chairman, who, as soon as he could obtain a hearing begged all in favor of a viva voce vote to rise; but the delegates, from the confusion, could not rightly un. derstand the motion from the Chair. Some stood up and i— others begged them to be seated and Order was restored after some minutes andthen the Chair explained the motion, appointing Messrs. Stokes and Doran as tellers to count the votesin the affirmative. This did not please the meeting, and again the yeas and nays were called; but the Chair still was unable to decide by the sound. Mr. Honan, of Washington city-—I propose that each member of the convention send in a written nomination, which shall be read aloud, and then put tothe meeting for their approval or disapproval. This was also put down, and, after much hubbub, Messrs. O’Connor and Meliville withdrew their motions, and the original motion offered by Mr. Wright was adopt- ed; Mr. Stokes objecting to such an electio, in the case of the President, who, he contended, should be elected by the meeting by a viva vece vote. A delicate lunged young man here offered another re- solution, that Robert Tyler be nominated for the Pres dency, and that five minutes be aliowed to consider. This was, however, put down by a most determined shout. * Another gentleman, having a most Shaksperian forehead and German imperial, here rose, and was proceeding ina most eloquent strain of abuse, levelled at some other member, when he was overpowered by shouts of “Ques tion—Question”--loud hisses and groan: Scarce had order been restored, when the other gentleman arose and said, “1 will not be gagged by any popinjay from”— He was, however,silenced by another volley ofstentorion cries, intermingled with hisses. The Cuar, having at length obtained a hearing, put down such personal attacks by a decided expression of his determination not to allow any person to speak un- less he adhered rigidly to the question; and again he ay- pealedto the meeting to consider its own dignity, aad not to indulge in such discreditable expressions of their feel. ings. Several propositions were offered, some directing the Chair to select as a nomineting committee, one from each delegation. Others, that each delegation should retire, and select the delegate to represent them in such com. mittee. This last was adopted, and a recess of filtecn minutes allowed. Time being called, the tollowing per sons were named to compose the nominating comiaittee— State. Delegation. Representatives. Maine. -: inane Patrick Crowley. Massachussetts F .

The names were read over by the Secretary and appro ved by each delegation in orders ¢ "i At this stage of the proceedings, an Irishman with gray locks, and wrinkled forehead, who had been sitting oul- side the bar, began to make a most energetic appeal in behalf of suffering Ireland, his dear native jand, phe after some little trouble ne was takin out of the Tabernacle, much against his will, ea stormy discussion which lasted for several 'o how the Committee should proceed, and whether djournment was not advisable. Several mo- tions to adjourn were made, some until eleven o’clock to-morrow, others until five, half past four, and four. It was finally agreed that the meeting should suspend ope. rations until four o'clock, and that in the meantime the Committee prepare the list of candidates for officers, 80 08 to have it ready when the Convention re-assembled. The meeting rose at ten minutes past three. Thus terminated the opening meeting of the Great Re- peal Convention, which promises to be a most interestin on if we may gather an opinion fr m the slight skete! given. The convention reassembled at four o’clock and re- eeived the report of the nominating committee, and the action of the convention on that report consumed the re sidue of the evening session. The following officers were elected :— President, ROBERT TYLER, Esq. Vice Presidents. MalMes v.40. 00.05 -P.J. Divine, Massachaset SW.L. Wasi, [Rhode Isiand » «Tnomas Moowny, (Connecticut, «Thomas D.

Honorary Vice Presidents—The Venerable and aged ‘Tuomas O’Connon, Jousx Carpwerr, and General Jas. J. MeDowxeun William Wallace, Esq. the distinguished Kentucky Orator ana Poet was indignanily rejected when proposed as one of the secretaries. There appeared to be @ strong feeling on that subject in the convention, which broke forth in sirgular shrieks, and tle expressions ot opinion such as characterized this convention throughout the day. What Mr, Wallace’s offensive traits may have been did not eppear, but Mr. Charles O'Conner and his friends were Mr. Wallace’s prominent opponents. Alter the appointment of officers, Mr. Robert Tyler was conducted te the chair, and in a brief speech he ac- knowledgea the honor which the Convention had done him. He also made some few ret in a patriotic strain on the ebject which they had in view. Mr.McKeon re. fused a vote of thanks for the serviees which he hud ren- dered, and the Convention adjourned te this morning at half past nine o’clock. Clty Intelligence. Deatn py Porson.—The Coroner held an inquest at the City Hospital, yesterday morning, on the body of a man named John Terry, who died the mght previous. It appeared from the testimony that while boarding at the sailors’ boarding house of Arthur{Allen, 333 Water street, on the 11th instant, he was induced, from representations ofsome persons, to obtain some corrosive sul cure the gonorrhea, and procured sixpence worth at an apothecary’s, and very imprudently aud improperly took hulfof it atone dose. He was taken sick immedi- ately afterwards, and becoming helpless, was conveyed tothe City Hospital, where he lingered, and died on evening. He had been a boarder with Allen for the past two years, at intervals; but his age, rela- tives or home was not known. The Coroner’s Jury re- turned a verdict of “death from an overdose of corrosive sublimate, admmistered by hand of deceosed.” Suot Himsexy.—Yestortay morning, a person, whose name is supposed to be Thomas Hart, shot himself with a pistol in the head, in a wood shed in the rear of No.8 Batavia street. It appeared from the testimony that a few days since he hired an upper room in the house from Mr. ‘Timothy O'Brian, and complained at the time of being much trouvled with dyspepsia, On Tuesday evening ho complained of illness to the wife of O'Brian, and also said that he was tired of life. Yesterday morning, between 7 and $ o'clock, he came from his!room and went isto the yard, and soon after areport of a pistol was heard, and he was found inthe wood shed with his head blown to pieces. The coroner’s jury returned a verdict of suicide. On searching his pockets, between one and two hundred dollars were found in them in gold and bank notes. Want, therefore, could not have impelled him to such an act. Ronuixe 4 Watcumaxen’s Stone.—Yesterday morn: ing about day light, watchman K. V. Kirby, perceiviny the door of the watchmaker’s shop of 115 Roosevelt street, open, crossed over and found a boy about 15 years of age in the store, in the attempt to steal. He arrested him, when he gave the name of James Francis. He said he was about 15 years of age, a native of England, that his mother was dead, and his father at sea. That he wi induced to commit this act by two colored boys, who per- suaded him to goto the store and commit the burglary, so that they could make money. Arnest or a Sacnitecious Vittain.—A fellow named John Walker was secured yesterday, on suspicion of being the rogue who has recently entered the Catholic churches of our city, and robbed them of all that could be obtained of value. The communion cleth, and several other articles stolen from St. a ’3 church, corner of Barrow and Carmine streets, was found in his possession. He should be handed over for punishment without the benefit of clergy. Buack Burcuat ‘Two black burglars, named Pater Willi not Peter of Orange street Almacks—and Ni- choli lyers, were arrested yesterday on a charge of having burglariously entered the workshop of John Becket, 25 Spring s*reet, on the night of the 16th or 17th inst , and stealing 16) muskrat skins, valued at $20. A portion of the skins were found in the pos rogues, and the remainder where they had disposed of them. Drowsep wHILe Swimminc.—A lad named Daniel Mclntyre, son of Catherine Kiernan, of 216 Centre street, was drowned on nea, evening at the foot of Fulton street, North River, while bathing. He jumped off from a fish car, avd coming up struck his head with great force against a cross piece of timber lying between the cars, aud was stunned and went down. Oncoming up again he appeared to be drowning, and as he sunk cried “God save me.” He rose no more.

United States vs. Daniel Gorum and Samuel jver.—An action to recover the amount of deficit in the account of Nathaniel A. Turner, deceased, who was employed as letter carrier at the post office, and whose sureties the defendants were. The circumstances of the case rendered it one of peculiar hardship to the parties prosecuted, as there is very reason to believe that the letter carrier, Turner, had been foully murdered in the month of September, 1842, and that the object of the murderer was plunder. ‘The deceased, as was testified by the widow, left home on Wednesday, September 30, to get some mon'y exchanged to pay aver to the post officr, and nothing was heard of him until the 6th of October ful- jowing, when he was brought home dead, having been found in the slip at the foot of Harrison street. On exam. ining the clothes, it was ascertained that the side cost pocket, in which he usually kept his money, had been cut cut, and his wallet was taken, This money lost is the amount sought to be recovered, by the United States Government, from the sureties. The counsel for the de- fendant, Thomas A. Tomlinson, Esq, read several law anthorities to show that the loss, having been sustained by a visitation of God, or by the hand of man, against which no foresight could guard, the sureties were not liable for the loss, He appealed tothe sympathy of the court and jurors, and beseught them, if they could, by a merciful construction of the law, not to visit upon ‘his clients 80 severe a penalty 9s a verdict for damages. The Court, in charging, cited the law as applicable to the case. The bond given to the government was, that the maker should faithfully perform his several duties, and should pay over all monies collected by him for the gov- ernment. This latter clause was the binding one, ard which, not being complied with, rendered the sureties liable. His Honor cited the case of the paymaster of the United States troops, who, while travelling on the fron+ tier, with a large amount of money, to pay the troops, was met and murdered by the Indians, who carried oi every cent ofthe money. ‘Hore the securities of the murdered paymaster were sud, and judgment rendered against the hich judgment was sustained by the opinion of the Court. The securities were responsible until the money wos paid over, and the spirit of the bond, was that the government shall be secure at all risk. His Honor observed that the case was one of extreme hardship, and if the judgment was enforced by tue government, it would be severe and appalling; and though the Court could not entertain the argument or appeal made bythe counsel,yet, if it was desired, the Court would report’ the circumstan- ces for the information of the government. The jury, under the direction of the Court, found a verdict for the United States, assessing the da es at $102 21,including interest. His Honor observed, that though the jr as Jjarors, could not recommend to mercy, yet in thei vidual capacities he hod no doubt bat ‘that, on their re: "hi ase the United ture of the threo cases, contai cloths, cassimers, &e., and entered at the Custom House HA Messrs.

It is alleged that the cases were entered at the Custom House at am invoice of 4,400 frane about 44 per cent less than the same quality of been invoiced to other houses. dingly the custom house appraiser, Mr. Cornelius 8 , was directed te make a valuation, which he did, making the amount 6,666 95 francs. This valuation was rejected by the im. ters who demanded a re-appraisement, and Frpetated in their bebhalt Mr. V.

To rue Eprror or rue Hexaup:— ‘The lamentéd Crockett—the immortal battle-axe hero of the Alamo—defines the railroad locomotive as “hell in harness.” In the more temperate lan- guage of the Yankee clod, “it is an all-fired smart team.” It is an iron horse—an amphibious sala- mander—a fire-eater—a digester of hot coals—antd a drinker of water by the cistern. Moving, with its train, it looks like an elephant in a state of spon- taneous combustion, with his trunk aloft, ssouting out steam, smoke and fire, tearing ahead in his fury, with a string of Chinese summer houses athis heels; or like a condensed thunder gust, sweeping every ‘thing before it, and leaving a clear track behind. The devil himself, in his seven league boots, is the only “critter” that may presume to compete with the iron horse of the railroad. We swept through the country at a brave pace, yesterday. Hurrah for the green hills, the umbra- geous woods, the blue mountains, and the dashing streams! Ye morning criers of “fresh porgies”—ye criers of all sorts, redundant in Gotham, squall on! Ye genteel loafers—ye unpretending pre-emption claimants to the cellar doors—ye blind beggars—ye ragged urchins, pleading for ‘‘a loaf of bread”— avaunt! ‘Quit my sight—your bones are marrow- less.” Ye ‘‘stinking rogues” of the Five Points, stealing ever and anon into the sunshine of Broad- way, go into your holes.

Far behind, you black rascal—far behind, ye graceless varlets all! The pure air from the cliffs of the Mo- hawk—the sweetness, the freshness, the beauty of earth, rejuvinated, is before me! Alla-il-Alla!— Glory to God! I say it with reverence—with ado- ration—with a thrill which vibrates upon every chord, Gently, gently, Simon Barjonah, or thy pen will run thee into a slough of verbiage. Meta live Tyler man yesterday. He was neither an office-holder nor an office-seeker, and yet he was a Tyler man. I was about recording the gentleman asa “singular phenomenon,” when his idiosyncracy was accounted for from the circumstance of his having been kicked by a horse, producing a partial derangement of the brain. He felt as confident of Tyler’s election as John Jones. { thought him worthy an “inkling,” and he will be pleased to dis- cover that he has not been mislaid. At Utica, a gentleman of the name of Cleveland, fram Perry, Wyoming county, made complaint against a stupid looking creature, on the spot, of having, in conjunction with an accomplice, picked his coat pocket of $2000. Cleveland averred that the man put his arms about him as he stepped from the cars, and that another individual, who could not be found, extracted the needful from his coat tail. Aa officer, in a white hat and ruffled shirt, ordered the almost insensible wretch complained of to follow him, which of course he did. But no money was discovered upon him, and no evidence elicited as to his associate. Whereupon, the cars carried us off from the ground of the transaction. The prospect is, that those $2000 are lost to the merchants of New York. Lamps were produced in abundance, and half an acre of land was searched around the spot where the car stood at the moment the bills were negotiated, or supposed to be, but in vain. We had rather a slim invoice of passengers, on ac- count of its being Sunday. Among them were a Mr. Heyw—d, of South Carolina, lady and two daugh- ters, just from Saratoga, going to Niagara, andthen ‘homeward bound.” The eldest daughter was quite handsome, fresh, rosy delicate complexion, fine eyes, and with a head of dark auburn hair that would have thrown Mon- sieur Pussedee into ecstacies, and cast the Countess Guiccioli’s red head into contempt. Miss H. fiiled up the intervals between sleeping and talking, in reading Miss Bremer’s Ninah. Got into townot ten this morning, a day in ad- vance of the Fair, which is certainly better than coming in a “‘day after.’ The weather to-day up to two o’clock, has been oppressively hot, and we are now in the midst of the refrigerating process of athunder shower. Should not be surprised if it turned to another seven days drizzling.

At any early stage of the attack, those preliminary symptoms, which denote future consumption, are easily overcome. Simple remedies will do this, but there are times when the lungs have almost reached that point of disease va to be incurable. At such times, no ordivar medicine is required, but one of known value and useful- ness. Inall such cases, Dr. Cook’s Hygean Batsam will be found most invaluable and useful. Invented by one of the leading physicians of the British metropolis, an form- ed only from such preparations as are healing and sooth. ing to the lungs, coughs, colds, asthmas, bleeding at the lungs, pleurisy’ and consumption are specdily put to flight, and the patient recovered from almost certain death. It is an old adage, that an “ounce of prevention is better than a pound of cure,” but in no case will it better apply than in those which lead, if neglected, to long fits of sick- ness. The Hygean Balsam is emphatically atamily medi- cine, and assuch should always be kepton hand. The slightest symptom of a cough should be watehed, parti- cularly by females and children. Often in childhood do the latter have implanted within them the seeds of that disease, which in after years ripens into consumption. ‘The use of the Hygean Balsam, on such occasions, i the utmost importance. Its n e is so beneficial, whilst it 1s agreeable and pleasant to the taste, it acts up- onthe system thoroughly, and restores the body to its full, healthy and vigorous state. Coughs and colds are the originators ¢f numerous com: plaints. The smallpox, scarlet fever, croup, whoo} ing cough, rheu , and many species of fever, have their origin (rom simple colds. We cannot, therefore, be toa guarded in our endeavors to remain in health. The use of Dr. Cook’s Balsam tends to the destruction of all these, and in London it is considered the only medicine that will at all approach toward the cure of cousumption. Let those now suffering try it and be satisfied. Sold by the proprietor, at No. 11 Barclay street, near Broadway, at Aspinwall 6 William street, and the Messrs.
