NEW YORK HERALD. SS New-York, Saturday, September 23, 1843. fg Mr. L. Willard is our only authorized ogent for tne alec! the Herald in Troy, Ne. All persons. wish- ing the peper in that city will apply only to him, at 930 Viver street MR. BENNETTS LEMERS FROM EUROPE, NO. Iv. Lonpon, Ist September, 1843. Treturned to this metropolis a few days ago, after an exiensive and interesting tour through Ireland, Scotland, and the north of England. (leave for Paris to-morrow, and may possibly visit Baden Baden before 1 return to New York, which I ex- pect will be about the middle or end of October. You will have seen the singularly public position in which I have been placed before the English na- tion, by the weak and foolish attack of Mr. O’Con- nell upon me, during my passage through Dublin.— That attack, you}will perceive, originated entirely in his extreme hatred and [prejudice against the in- stitutions of the Southern States—a prejudice which prevails here among the liberals and so called re- publicans, even more than among the whigs and to- I have been compelled to come out publicly u defence of myself and of the conduct of the U. ‘States towards certain interests in freland; and you will see my firstletter in the Times of the 30th. This s only the commencement of a long contest against the traducers of America, on account of the slave in- stitutions of the south, and knowing the character and chivalry of the Southern States, I shall not spare even O'Connell, if he continues to abuse them. { am thus placed in this country, during] myfstay, in & more remarkable and [conspicuous position than I ever expected to be, during a period too, when a great crisis has begun in this land. The repeal agitation is only the beginning of a Jong movement which is intended to produce great changes, if not a revolution, in England. The pre- sent ministers are losing ground every day, and the great crisis of the age will be developed before long. Many of “the false republicans of this land have, however, a deep jealousy and hatred of the United States—and why it is 80, seems to be difficult to tell. But this prejudice is the cause of all the abuse of the social institutions of {the Southern States, in which unfriendly} business'{no man has been more conspicuous than Mr. O’Connell. Theeffect of my letter in the Tises, in reply to his attacks on this point, hasbeen interesting in several aspects, I have ‘been applied to by many persons of high character and position, friends of the United States, to write a book on that country, to give a correct view of American institutions, habits and pregress. From what{l am told, I suppose it would be a very profitable business, but] have no time yet to devote my atten- tion to anything out of the New York Herald. Inthe mean time I will think of these things, and prepare myself for the future. I have been forced by oppo- sition into a conspicuous position, and I must main- tain it with care and attention. The relations| between the twe countries are in statu quo. I understand from the best authority that Sir Robert Peel and the Chancellor of the Ex- chequer have been celiecting information, relative to the terms of a new commercial treaty with the Stetes, but whether they will act very soon seems uncertain. It is very certain, however, that a strong feeling is{growing up here among the lead- ers of both parties in favor of some new arrange- mente with the United States. Several agitations have just began in Eagland—and particularly a free trade or low-tariff agitation in Liverpool. If the Peel ministry will not act, no doubt the Whigs, as ries. Unite soon as‘they get iato power, will take a bold step in favor of the United States. A paper money agitation has also commenced in Birmingham—but that seems too absurd to succeed. Let them, however, enlarge their paper currency in England as mueh as they please—the consequence will be only to give the advantage to the United States in the markets of the world. The evils of England, Ireland, Scotland, &c., cannot be alleviated by any laws that may be passed. The radical errors are unequal divisions of property and work—the expensive habits of the higher classes and the extreme poverty of the lower. The nobility, from their luxurious habits, are as mach in debt as the nation—all are mortgaged, and a reduction of rent or taxes seems to be equally im- practicable and impossible. American credit seems still to be in the way of revival, although nothing very;particular has taken place since my last. The Illinois Commissioners have notyet closed their arrangements, but I hope they will be able todo so very soon. The accounts trom New York have been quite favorable of late, and! have no doubt its salutary effecte will be felt on this side in a few months. .

He has at last caught here, John Reed, of the curious glass eye, who committed the famous series ol forgeries trom New Orleans to New York, emounting to $55,000. This is the same man who forged on Jacob Little & Co. for $22,000. He is sow sate in prison here, having been identified the seiner day in Newgate, by Ben. L. .Hays, who has re- turned to the United States. Mr. Lownds is new engaged in demanding him of the British Govern- ment under the new treaty, but as the forgery was ommitted before the treaty was made, some doubt may be entertained whether he will be delivered up 1 think he will be delivered up, and will find ahome with Colonel Edwards at Sing Sing. His locus in quo was discovered through the agency of the Barings, aod in conseqnence of certain Treasury Notes, issu- ed by Laker, of Philadelphia, marked ‘ without re- course Only $13,000 of the money has been found upon him, for he has been living two years in London, and has lost some of it in speculations.

IT have enjoyed it very much—nor do I care how much he cuts and carves up the fools who paid court to himas they did. I hope this number will be pub- blished extensively. This morning, we had an order from the Lord Chamberlain to see Buckingham Palace. We went through all the apartments—dining rooms— drawing rooms— yellow drawing room—picture gal- lery, &c. &e. The paintings are most beautitul— and the little shade under the trees where the Queen and Prince Albert breakfast in the suinmmer morn- ings, is most picturesque and inviting. A further account hereafter. After this we rode to the fa- mous manege, or riding school, where the nobility are taught to manage the horse. It is kept by Mr. Davis, the uncle of Mr. Davis, of New York, and is most superb in its horses and other appointments Here I was told that Mr. Davis in New York, for- merly the riding master at Disbrow’s school in the Bowery, is one of the most capable and competent trainersand teachers of the horse in Europe. At this manege, they know our New York Davis well, and his reputation is very high. Tue Great Nationar. Repeat Convention turn- ed out to be the most absurd, ridiculoxs, funny affair we have had here for an age. A spice of its quality we gave two days ago, but no description could do itjustice. The first day was consumed in an at- tempt to get organized, after which many delegates returned to their homes in disgust. The second day was spent in frivolous attempts to amend reso- Intions that were proposed, {sectional conflicts, an- gry disputations, exhibitions of petty jealousies, and displays of o’erwhelming vanity. Tired of this “great” affair, many of the delegates were desirous to bring it to a close, that they might escape from the ridicule to which they were exposed—but others pleaded, with great repen- tance, that they might remain together one day longer in their ‘‘God-like cause,” as one delegate designated it, in the expectation that a nights’ repose would cool the fierce passions which had been excited, and that they would then sepa- rate in harmony. They met accordingly yesterday morning, to put a better face on the matter, and then adjourned sine die! Never did such magnificent prespects turn out so disastrously. There was nothing but discord with in, and no one seemed to care for them without. The spectators never exceeded a baker’s dozen, and hence the expense of this exhibition (which was mainly got up to gratify some supremely vain aspirants for notoriety, and some few political demagogues, who live by the gullibility of their honest neighbors,) must be borne by the hard work- ing contributors to the Repeal fund. Tue Case or Mrs. Gitmore tur Scotca Mur- pERESS.— When this case was before the authorities here, we kept our readers well advised of the pro- ceedings, and it will be recollected that a strong po- sition was taken by the Counsel for the prisoner re- specting the sufficiency of the grounds on which the application for her was made. It was contended that there was no requisition from the British Government, and that that defec; was fatal. There were others equally as strong,but McKay the constable swore that he was Superin- tendent of the Rural Police for the county of Ren_ frew, and that he was thus an officer of Her Britan. nic Majesty, armed with a warrant from the Sheriff of Renfrew. Mrs. Gilmore’s counsel prayed for such delay as would afford him an opportunity to procure some necessary evidence from Scotland —such a delay as the British authorities afiorded in the case of Clinton the forger, now in prison in London, and soon to come back for trial here—but it is matter of notoriety how that application was disposed of. The Caledonia, however, has brought out evidence which might have caused the discharge of Mrs. Gilmore if it had not come too late. This testimony shows that McKay was not superintend- ent of police as he swore; the police force which he had superintended having been abolished on the first of May, whereas he did not leave Scotland un- til the month of June. He could not thenhave been an officer of Her Britannic Majesty, even if he were such an officer for the purposes of the treaty stipula- tion, while such superintendent. But the authority by which he was sent here was not the less doubtful. He was dispatched on his mission by Alexander Campbell, Sheriff substitute of Renfrewshire, acting as Judge Ordioary at Pais- ley, who soon afterwards reported what he had done at a meeting of the county gentlemen in the County Hall assembled, and stated that he had dis- patched McKay on that mission, believing it to be hisduty to doso. These are the main facts which the affidavits prove that Mr. Warner, her counsel, has received, and they should have the effect of producing caution for the tuture. We leave the facts thus stated, without a further word of com- ment for the present. Casg or RaGgE, THE ForcerR —We understand that this West Indian, who stands implicated with young Saunders in the forgeries on the several banks in Wall street, intends to deny bis participa- tion, and prove an alibi. Public justice, there(ore, demands that any person who saw him in company with young Saunders, on the day the forgeries were committed, should give notice to the District Attor- ney, in order that they may be called as witnesses. Gunnine vs. BurpeL. —We shall give the charge of Judge Sherman to the jury in this singular case on Monday. The foreign intelligence, and other demands upon our space, have hitherto prevented its publication, and will delay it until the time spe- cified. Coast Survey.—-The Washington, under the command of Lieut. Gedney, arrived at Newcastle last Wednesday, after a long duty in surveying the coast between Sandy Hook and Cape Henlopen. The Gallatin, Lieut. Blake, arrived at Philadel- phia on Thursday, and after,receiving supplies, de- parted the same evening to resume the survey of the Delaware river, commencing at Fort Mifflin, and thence up to the head of tidewater, all of which will be completed in a month. Sav Accipent.—Yesterday morning as Mr. Fox, arespéctable wood carman, was driving a load of wood in Greenwich street, near Vandam, by a hole in the pavement, ora sudden jolt, he was thrown from his cart and fell d'rectly before the wheel, which passed over his shoulder and breast—he was taken to the drug store of Meesrs. Lewis & Loins, and received prompt attention. He wes then placed upon acot, and by four of his brother car- men taken to his residence in Thompson street, with faint hopes of his recovery. Sream Suir Barransia, Capt. Hewitt, from Bos- ton for Liverpool, arrived at Halifax on the 18th instant, at 7A. M. Navat.-U. 8. Brig Apprentice, last from Port- land, passed up the Kennebec River on Monday last. Serriep.—A verdict of $11,000 has been given in the Circuit Court of Missouri, to the owners of the steamboats Arrow and Corsican, against the late Farmers and Mechanics’ [Insurance Company of St. Louis. This suit has been pending since 1839. (cj The extensive circus company of Mesers. Rockwell & Stone, we perceive, are advertised to appear at Northampton, in Massachusetts, on the 8d of October. They have returned from Canada and are again in the United States, and, we hope, on their way hither for the winter, though we believe they will first make a short season in Boston, after taking the principal towns in Connecticut and Rhode Island, Fine at Nisto’s Garven—Great Exorrement— Great Smoxe—Great Buaze—Great Ory, svt Lirrtg Firx.—About half past nine last evening? the stirring, and many of the sleeping population, of our city,were aroused with the alarm of fire, which wassaid to have broken out at Niblo’s Garden.— Such a report was calculated to cause great ex- citement, and being followed by a blaze and smoke that rose to the very heavens,such a mass as pressed forward to the supposed pointZof conflagration, through every avenue, and particularly up Broadway was rarely seen in our city at an alarm of fire.— “What a pity.” says one—“i’m sorry for Niblo,” says another—‘“‘he’s a d—d clever fellow” says a third—“‘and has done as much as .ny other manto keep upa correct theatrical taste,” says a fourth— “all the theatres should give him a benefit, at once,” says a Jeremy Diddler, who was de- sirous of being placed on the committee of ar- rangements in order to obtain a free admission for the night and a supper at the settlement of accounts. “How frightened the audience must have been,” says a timid old bachelor; “wonder it any body was killed, or any children burned to death, or any crushed to pieces,” says an accident maker ; “how did it catch fire,” inquires ore of the Madame Paul Pry’s of the ton, “‘whet a screaming, and screach- ing, and hallowing, and bawling there must have been among the children, and what a show of neat ancles and white stockings among the ladies as they tumbled out,” says an old fussy who always seats himself in an orchestra box on the night of a ballet opera. Thus went the chat around as the dense crowd forced itself towards the point of at- traction with that speed that propels locomotion on such important occasions. As we neared the scene the flames and smoke rolled in cloudstowards the zenith, which too plainly brought the conclusion that the scenic properties, the gaudy robes, and the brilliant paraphernalia that had so oft been the theme of admiration, was now the food for the devouring element. As a flash went up, thought we, “there perhaps is the last of the gauze-like and beautiful habiliments of the tasty Ravels, who have been once burned out before, and whose elegant performances we shall thus be deprived from seeing for another year, atleast, and the opera, the charming Italian opera, is thus closed in an instant.” “But,” we thought again, ‘‘the season is nearly closed, end Niblo can now erect a magnificent es- tablishment and during the winter season change the character of entertainment by introduc- ducing splendid and brilliant feats of horsemanship, such as caused the Cookes to carry the fashion ot the town in their train a few years since.” These re- fivctions hastily passed through our mind until we reached the very scene of excitement. But the inside of the Garden presented a scene more in- teresting and awful than the rush and hurrying to- gether of the multitude abroad. The high priestess Norma—Signora Corsini—had saved from the sacri- ficial dagger, Polloin—Signor Antognini—the Ro- man Pro-Consul, and was in the act of delivering the unstained weapon to Oroveso—Signor Valtelina —the chief of the Gauls—when a cry from the gal- lery was heard ‘‘save yourselves—look to your lives.” The shout was heard above the crash ofthe orchestra and the chorus of the Roman sol- diery on the stage—a pause—the prima donna cast- ing one glance towards the gallery, cast the dagger from her hand, and fled across the stage, followed by the virgins of the temple in attendance. A rush —a cry—and we saw the mass pressing'too and fro like the waters of a suddenly agitated sea. At this critical moment, Mr. Niblo himself appeared on the stage,Jand in a voice of commanding power, requested the audience to be calm. The danger was at a distance, but louder was the cry of the alarmists, who, regardless of all save themselves, rushed for the doors, crying loudly “ fire ! fire!” “the theatre is on fire.” Amid the din, {the voices of the officers in attendance, and the more stout-hearied of the audience, could be heard admoni:hing the ladies and the rushing crowds tokeep quiet, and all would yet be well. But who could otay the mass. On they rushed over benches, into the orchestra, on the stage, and through the wings into the garden. One lady having gained the stage, after upsetting Signor Cioffi, and making a step ladder of his prostrate body, fell faintinginto the armsof Oroveso. Another lady, in endeavoring to climb the orchestra, grasped the flutist by the face, but the spectacles giving way, she fell back into the pit, and was saved from injury by the den- sity of the mass. We afterwards saw the unfortu- nate musician trying to rescue his glasses from the tenacious grasp of the lady, but we had not time to see whether he succeeded, for other work required our instant attendance. A beautiful young Italian lady, in endeavoring to jump over the high back of one of the box seats, missed her aim, and fell mid- ways, and in this position, with a leg at each side, was so tightly wedged that it was much difficulty she could be freed from the uneasy saddle. Hats, bonnets, opera glasses, and canes, were cast indiscriminately away, the chief object being the open air. After the struggling masses had gained the garden, and were making the best of their way through the inpouring crowd of firemen, we hastened to the roof and there found the fire blazing fiercely among the}wooden shantees. Asthe flames arose the sight was indeed exciting. The masses which filled the street—the hurrying rattle of the fire-engines—the shouts of the engineers and their assistants through their trumpets, as they urged their gallant companies to the rescue—the loud ringing of the alarm bells—and the ht up scenery of the Garden and its crowded galleries—all Gave interest tothe scene. It was as though the altar of Iminsul had suddenly been lighted for the sacrifice, and the worshipping thousands had shouted the loud ul-allah. The Ravel family, headed by the active and industrious Gabriel, were on the roof, and under his direction manned the fire-buckets, and to their exertions, in all proba- bility, the safety of the garden is due, as it was some minutes befure the engines could be worked, and the side of the theatre was several times on fire ; nor did they stay their work until every drop of water had been exhausted. The engine in the garden was promptly brought into actlon, and, though small, it threw a streem which did much service—until by the sirenuous efforts of the workers it was broken. The fire companies worked with a will,and the hook and ladder companies on the spot, stayed the progress of the flames by pulling down the wooden building adjoining the garden, asthe fire was bursting through it. Justice Merritt, Al- dermen Briggs and Brown, with a strong detach- ment of police and watchmen, were on tife spot, and used every exertion to save the property and preserve order. The following were the principal sufferers :— No. 598, J. & W. J. Morgan, ‘coal yard, slightly damaged ; Henry Parsons, cabinet maker, No. 596, property saved but household furniture lost, damage about $400; D. Burnett, No. 594, plumber, saved considerable, loss $200; Gallier, composite orna- ment manufacturer, No. 592, loss in models severe ; Drew, cabinet maker, No. 590, property saved, da- mage slight; Green, segar maker, all saved, no loss. The property burned consisted chiefly of rear shan- tees or work shops, and a range of small wooden buildings between Niblo’s and Durell’s Baths, on Broadway. The loss isslight, and will be a benefit to Broadway. Whether new brick buildings will be erected, or Niblo,in his enterprising spirit, throw the space into his establishment and erect upon the ra- ins an Amphitheatre, which shall rival Ashley’s, in Londen, or add it to the Garden, making it the Vauxhall of New York, remains to be seen. Although the destroyed building adjoined those of Mr. Niblo, his saloon sustained no injury, and the performances will not inconsequence be suspended. Increask or Porviation —Mrs. Bethanah Fur- long, wife of Matthew D. Furlong, from the Eme- rald Isle, was safely delivered of three girls at a birth. They are all doing well. This happened last Thursday at Edgartown. Paceee Suir Liverroon —Heance for Liverpool, was spoken on the 7th inst. off Cape Clear. The Great Agricultural Fair at Rochester. Our correspondent, whom we have despatched to Rochester, to report the proceedings, saylngs and doings, at the Great Agricultural Fair, sent the fol- lowing postscript to his letter of the 19.h, but it did not arrive in time to accompany that communica- tion. We now give it publicity :— PostscripTuM. Rocuzster, half past 9, P. M., Sept. 19. The Eastern cars are in, bringing his Ex-excellen- cy M. Van Buren, his son J. T, Van Buren, Gover- nor Bouck, Dr. Beekman, who delivers the annual agricultural address, D, R. Vauderlys, Ex. Messen- ger, all from Albany; the Hon. Mr. Greig and lady, of Canandaigua; “and a host of others,” with a suite in an independant train, of Durham bulls, De- vonshire cows,Merino sheep, some calves and a stud horse. The distinguished gentlemen hereinbefore mentioned put up at the Eagle Hotel. Rochester at this moment is the head quarters of “* the Democra™ cie.” We shall have a tremendous supper to mor- row night, and politics will most likely supercede the merits of home-made cheese and corn-stalk sugar. Spent an hour since supper with several polite mili- tia generalsat the Mechanics’ Fair at the Market House. The concern is well furnished witha varie- ty of mechanical nicknackenes, of which more anon. There was a rush tothe rooms; an array of country girls, the best specimens of domestic manu- facture in the exhibition. And the way the dear creatures were delighted with the patent cook stoves and the table of show bread, was a caution to corn dodgers and fried sausage. Gov. Marcy and Gen. Swords are looked for, and an express is spoken of by the line boats for President Tyler and John Jones. Ss. B. Tae Tueatres. ¢ houses last night gave abundant proof that New York is again prosperous, and that public amusements can be appreciated and supported. Wallack terminated his engagement at the Park to a very respectable audience, in two of his favorite pieces. The performances were for his benefit. On Monday, he appears at the National in Philadelphia, as Rolla and Dick Dashall, two of his favorite characters. Messrs, Wemyss and Oxley are the lessees, jwho commence their season to-night with a well selected company. We understand that Hackett is about to appear at the Park ; and it may be his farewell engagement, as there isa rumor that he is soon to return to his mercantile pursuits. Hackett is ever welcome at Old Drury, and his appearance, before we part with him forever, in the burly bully Jack Fallstafl—a part which he monopolizes exclu- sively—would be advantageous to himself and pro- fitable to the managment, who deserve well of the public for what hes been done on the house, and by the engagements to ensure success for the present season. Nible’s was crowded, as usual, and the Italian opera appears to be as popular as the extraor- dinary performances of the Ravels. The Chatham is sailing before the wind prosperously. The house is now elegant, well conducted, and in possession of an excellent company. Yankee Hill is at present the star in the ascendant, and his Yankee represen" tations appear never to satiate the laughter-loving. A larger or a more boisterously merry audience was never congregated together within those walls, nor was success ever more deserved. At the Bowery Amphitheatre, a Mr. Canfield is the most prom: inent feature, and a most extraordinary one he is. Monstre Paul, Guillot, and others, who have great merits, are entirely cast into the shade. His strength is little less than superhuman. He bends iron bars across his bare arm, lifts four 56 lbs. weight by the hair of his head, sustains a hogs- head of water and two men in a singular position, in which he rests on his feet and hands, and a can. non which other performers deem too weighty even to attempt to use, in his hands is a mere play thing. The other performances here are we! jaged,and of the first class, and the audiences are as good as the managers can desire. Concerts.—Wallace and Russell both give Con- certson Monday night. The former will have the valuable aid of Mrs. Sutton, who stands on a proud pinnacle in her profession. Mr. Russell, it will be seen, has removed to the Society Library, where he will give extracts from Milton and Shakspeare, in the novel but immensely popular style in which he has sung some of the best soliloquies extant. City Intelligence, Noon-Day Buncuany.—The desperate character of the thieves and burglarsof our city has recently assumed such a complexion, that unless our Common Council will adopt a patrol plan of police, or something partaking of its character, no dwelling will be sefe even at mid-day. Those accomplished rascals, Holdgate, Walker, and others, have, inall recent cases, committed their bur. glaries in broad day light, and some at noon-day. Sun: days appear to have been specially selected for their oper- ations, and in many cases they were most successful, In addition to the advantages of this new mode of robbery and outrage, the term of punishment for an entrance by day light is less, and therefore the chances are in its fa- vor. The day officers of police, appointed by the Com- mon Council, forthe several wards, are of little use in arrest ofthieves, as, with one or two exceptions, they are rarely if everseen with a prisoner at the police office. The wants of this great city demand, in all its public thoroughfares, the hourly patrol of men selected to guard the property of the public. Let one be stationed in Broad. way, for instance, and let it be known to the citizens, but more particularly to the thieves and day burglars, as it soon would be, and a robbery would be of rare occurrence in that vicinity. Extend this plan to the other streets of our city, and New York would be soon rid of the thou- sands who now exist only by plunder from the honest portion of the community. ‘An instance of midday robbery occured yesterdey, which is another argument to compel prompt action on the part of our public authorities to do something to pro- tect the property of the community: The dwelling house of Baip ‘8. Monroe, 77 Murray street, was center- ed between the hours of 10 and 11 o’clock in the fore- noon, by hoisting the front basement window,and a large and valuable stock of clothing carried away, and $20 in bank notes. The burglars escaped with their plunder, which may possibly be recovered, as a reasonable reward has been offered for that purpose. InnuMan Treatment oF 4 Son.—William H. Hiscox, ayouth aged about 16,son of Gardner C. Hiscox, of 38 ppeared yesterday at the Lower Police,{ before Justice Merritt, with his mother, to prefer a complaint inst his iatherfor an aggravated assault and battery ing him for some trivial effence. The boy was streaming with blood from his hands and face, and the Justice, on hearing the case, very properly held the father to bail in the sum of $200 to answer theoftence.— ‘The wife ot Hiscox sustained the complaint. We under- stand he is an agent for certain property belonging to the Mechanics’ Banking Association. Anotnen “Tovcner” Bacarp.—Joseph Holden, the well known toucher, with the Lascar.wig, was arrested yesterday morning by Capt. Alex. H.!Schultz, on board of the tow boat De Witt Clinton, belonging to the Ene Rail- road Company, and on his affidavit sent to the Penitentia- ry for three months as a ‘ant. The tow boat has bean the resort of anumber of black thieves and leafers for months, and nearly the whole of her inner apartments have been destroyed by these long-shore loafers, Hol- den has been long a rogue of deep dye, ond has be'ore served a termfon Black well’s Island. , Goina on Ticx.—A fellow who says his name is James Franklin, was cribbed yesterday by officer McKibbin, charged with having stolen on the 18th instant, a gold lepine watch worth $60, and aseal and chain valued at $50, the property of Charles Bonnaffe, of No. 9 White street. The watch wag stolen from No. 84 Broadway, and found at a second hop where he had sold them. Smart Fause Paetences.—A female named Ann Donahue, obtained a | of groceries worth $166, from the grocery of Mersrs. Sussen & Otten, corner of Thames street and i'rinity Place, by falsely representing that she had been sent tor them by Mra. Floyd, of 130 Greenwich street. I. proving to be an entire alse statement, she was arrested and fully committed. Fourn —A diamond beaver cloth overcoat and ir of Indian moccasins, were taken with a thief yest ay, by officer Sweet of the Lower Police, where the owner can find them, Samven F. Brown Bainen.—This man was arrested and fully committed, a few days since, upon a charge pre- ferred against him, of feloniously obtaining possession of, and converting to his own use, the property of Rensee. laer Becker, and was beiled beforethe rder by John Fountain. Case ov James Caumr.—In a notice published yester- day, in allusion to the acquittal of this man on a recent trial for burglary, in the Court of Genernl Scssions, for robbing the store of the Misses Oakleys, in Cormine st., it was stated that he escaped fromthe negligence of the Preparation of the papers at the be police. We have since Ivarned that the papers contained all the necessary evidence, but that the officer who made the arrest, and i testimonyon the trial neglected to state the important fact of the fiading ofthe burglarious implements in the bed of Grump at the time he was canght with the other parties. This ng the whole affair, and fully exon erates theclerk of the upper police, Who prepared the bapers, {rom all blame. 0G Wecall the attention of our readers to Mr. At. will’s advertisement of ““Manichord Piano Foites.” 0G- [f 18 TRULY ASTONISHING HOW SUCH an iufaite variety of amusement be efforded for one shilling as the Manager of Peale’s Museum presents to the pul ave the Giant Girl, who weighs 405 Rosie ithd wine weighs oniy four pounnand ever «fear Child who wi only four pounds,an okt” Alton the — Fodce Mermaid, which is ‘pro- nounced by all parties to beas genuine 4 Mermaid as theyeversaw.

Sales were large, and prices generally advanced; Ohio 1 per cent; Kentucky 4; Ohio Life & Trust 8 per cent; Mohawk }; Paterson }; Indiana 6's fell 4; Illinois 6's 4. At the new board the rise was more rapid, and sales of new Ohio7’s were made at 106}. ‘At the Exchange to-day a sale of real estate by Anthony J. Bleecker took place, as follows : One lot of ground on the South side of 14th street, between 5th and 6th ave- nues, 25 feet by 103 3. Terms cash, $3,650. This sale wasa fair indication of a decided improvement in real estate. Tae animation in cotton seems to be nearly as great Some lots have risen upon the hands of holders from 40 t 50 per cent within afew weeks.

There is a good deal of fluttering ‘among the Illinois Shawneetown Bank “ boys’’in relation to our late expose oftheir attempt to foist the McAlister bonds upon Gov. Ford instead of the Bank bonds, on settlement of the Bank capital. There is evidently a collusion between the State officers and the Bank boys, which we shall ley bare. ‘The people of Illinois will be astonished. They as yet know nothing about legislative paper credit juggling. If Governor Ford gets into the meshes ofyjthe “boys,” heis lost. ‘We understand that there is a very general determina. tion in Alabama to take State money for cotton, and in Mobile to frown down the speculative little monster. In this case the money will gradually grow better. Every payment into the Bank, aud every payment to the Stato will diminish the amount outstanding. Let the Mobile charter beteken away. Ifthe people cannot trust their own money, why should they take that of those whose individual paper has sold in this market at 24 per centper month lately ? Ahighly impoitant mevement is about to take plece on the part of the Treasury department, at Washington, growing out of the exigencies of the Government. The President of the United States in his message of the 13th Feb, last, in relation to the finances, stated that « Even if the receipts from the various sources of reve- nue forthe curreat year shall prove not to be overrated, aad the expenditures be restrained within the estimates, the Treasury will be exhausted before the close of the year, and this will be the case although authority should be given tothe proper department to receive Treasury notes. The President also expressed[strong spprehensions of “qserious falling off in the estimated procteds, both of the customs and the public lands.” ‘This message was referred to a Committee of Ways end Means, and a report by Mr. Fillmore was made of so dis- graceful a party character as to excite the indignation of all judicious persons. .The report concluded by stating broadly in effect that no relief would be granted to go vernment, because no national,bank had been establish- ed. The report stated— « Under these circumstances, Fahad gor be adopted for the relief of the nation, it must be left to the intelligence of asuftering community to decide who is right and who is wrong.” ‘The result of this has been precisely what the Presi- dent in his message sought to remedy. The revenue has fallen off seriously, and the deficit {rom now to the Ist of January will be $5,000,000. Since the accession of Mr. Spencer to the Treasury department, his attention has been absorbed in organizing that department on amore economical and systematic manner than heretofe The admirable rystem by which the immense transfers of stocks at the Munhattan Bank;in this city have been conduct d for so many years, was adopted at the suggestion of Mr, Spencer, and has now been applied to the department at Washington, whereby many of those mistakes which have occurred will henceforth be avoided. In the midst of these operations, the wants of the Government have been pressing, and the dilemma into which they had been thrown by the action of party spirit, has made some new movement necessary. By existing jaws, an amount of Treasury notes not exceeding $5,000,000, bearing inter. est not exceeding six per cent, may be issued by the de- partment. This amount will feupply the deficit caused by the operation of the but to issue 6 per cent Trea sury notes at this time would entail a yearly charge of $300,000 upon the Treasury, and the notes would imme- diately go into banks as a means of investment. To avoid this, therefore, the notes are to be issued bearing 1-10th of one per cent, or! mill per cent interest, of denomi nations of $50 and upwards, to be payable on demand in specie in the city of New York, and to be receivable for all public dues, lands, customs, &¢. About $1,000,000 of these notes will shortly be put upon the market, ond the operation closely watched before an addition is made to the amount, which cannot be over $5,000,000. This is the project. The wantsof the government it is very clear must bo supplied from some source. These wants wore created by an unconstitutional tariff law, passed not for revenue but to protect manufactures, ond prohibit trade, When the revenue was thus cut short,\it became‘evident to the most shortsighted, that the government must eithor be supported by borrowing or by direct taxation. The Pic sident recommended, in view of this difficulty, that a re a
