k, Monday, October 9, 1843. Mr. L. Willard is our only authorized agent for anions the Herald in Troy, N. Y. All ms wish- ing the paper in thet city will apply only to him, at 280 River street. employment of Females—Ruinous Effects of Paper Money. There is, perhaps, at this moment no part of the community which is suffering more from the eflects of the overaction of the paper system, and the incon- siderate interference of lawyers with commercial pursuits, than that portion of our female community who have supported themselves and their dependents bytheir needles, The extraordinary low prices which ure now paid for all descriptions 6f needlework, render 1 almostimpossible for females who have no other resource to provide themselves with necessaries. A female ean now with the utmost diligence and eco- nomy, scarcely sustainjher current weekly expences, even at the low rates at which the necessaries of lite are now to be procured. The immediate cause of this 1s the great number of those who seek such employments, causing the supply of labor greatly to exceed the demand, The. remote cause, or that which increased the supply of labor, was the over- action of the paper system. In the few years pre- ceding 1836-7, when speculation ran so high, and any quantity of goods could be purchased in the Atlantic cities upon credit, the trade in ready made linen and clothing, was pushed to an extraordinary extent.— Vacilities were easily procured tor the purchase of cloths, and for their manulecture into clothing which was sold on long credits to the south and west, for notes which are discounted at the banks here, fur- ushing means for fresh operations. One house, which failed in 1837, in this line of business, paid out $850,000 per annum to females for their labor. Ready made linen, stocks and all branches were pushed to a similar extent. This created a demand for labor and caused high prices. These prices brought into the city numbers from the country, to take advan- tage of them, caused girls to quit service to engage ia sewing, and induced vast numbers living under the paternal roof to undertake sewing in order to dr ith greater extravagance. All this produced an immense increase in the supply of labor, and its results were sold on credit to persons who consumed it and never paid for it. When the revulsion came, all these great employers stopped, and thousands of girls were thrown out of employ. In 1840, the num- ber of females in New York was as follows :— White females, 10 to 15 years of age + «13,604 19° * ’ 16.700 + 40 634 : 252 ba tee e eee eee cereeee wee 98,140 Of these 93,140 females between 10 and 40 years, at least 20,000 live by sewing. Of those, probably 3,000 sew for their clothes only. Now when the business was diminished by failure of the houses engaged in it, and reduced only to that trade which furnished only the actual cash demand, at least one half of the 20,000 females were thrown out of em- ploy. Those who worked the cheapest and best, continued to get employ. This latter class com- prehends precisely those who werk for their clothes only, and are not obliged to support themselves. Hence 10,000 needy and destitute femeles, who were toiled into the city, and from other employments, by a ficutious bank movement, are without resource. Legislative sanction having first produced the evil, now enhances it. Nearly all the linen and clothes made in the city are sold to the agricultu- tists, ‘The means of those people to buy depends upon the sale of their produce. This produce, un- der the low range of the compromise tarift, they exchanged for foreign cloths, which were manu- jactured by the females in cities, and sold to the tarmers, the home price of whose produce, was in- creased by the surplus having found a foreign mar- ket. Hence they could pay higher prices to the termales who made the clothes. Under the present tariff, they cannot send the surplus out of the coun- try but toa limited extent ; because the law forbids them from bringing home any thing in return. Hence it is that flour is but $4,50 per barrel. ‘The. farmers cannot, therefore, buy city made clothes, but they spend and wear their own flax and wool and make their own garments. The ex- tent to which this is done may be estimated from the census returns, which gives the value of the home made goods in tarmer’s families at $29,023, 380, being greater than all the foreign cloths im. ported. The value of these goods made in the far- mers’ families of New York was $4,636,547. If these goods were made in the city of New York, as they probably would be under a system of Jow du- tues, it would give $1,500,000 per annum to the fe- males here in those employments. Nearly all these tamily goods are made in the western counties, the value am the northern district being $4,273,713 These are some of the effects of unwise legislation, producing that depth of distress among the gentler sex, which results in the demoralizing scenes of Broadway of an evening. The same results are brought about in a greater or less degree in all cities and in all parts of the world. The state of the work- ing classes of England at this instant being the re- sults of the “ protective” system, presents scenes of horror to which this country happily is yet a stran In illustration of what we have been saying about the employment of fernales, we will confine ourselves to that business in Londen. In Cornhill, London, isthe shirt making establish- ment of Messrs. Silver & Co. It is the oldest in that vast city, and gives employ to 3,000 females. In consequence of the extreme oppression of the poor aw rates, for sometime employ nad been given by ger ocicties, who supposed themselves benevolent, to he poor in the work houses, in order to relieve the The operation of this brought out testi- mony of Messrs. Silver & Co. in relation to prices, as follows:— Having determined never to employ workhouses or any other establishments that were provided for by the public—solely, as they state, because they would not poach upon the manor of the poor seam- stresees—they were constrained to reduce the pri- ces they were then paying, and the profits they were then obtaining, to meet the evil; and they declare that the prices which they now pay for shirt-making are, for distress a Striped cetton shirts © 10 © Printed full-ironted, 2 @ * Common whitedittlo, 6 @ “ 120 " « Better ditto ditto, 0 2" ae*...% & In February, 1840, they felt it their duty to them- selves and to the public to call the attention of the 3oard of Guardians of the City of London Union to tue “ monstrously low prices” which that board was paying to the Pere over whom it presided, sta- ting that in one of its workhouses all the female paupere were employed in shirt making, and were receiving not more than one peany tor making three common shirts. The poorer quality of shirts are made at regular establishments at 13 ets. per piece, and in the work house three shirts are made for 2 cents! Beside this, other testimony appeared, as follows:— And on this question what, in 1841, said Ana'Fore- man, @ widow,at that time in Wapping workhouse, ond 4 geod workwoman ? “When I have made 4)plication at the warehouses for work, | have been told that they could get the articles made at the workhousee at halt the price.”” Again, “* Betore I came here, | endeavored to support myself by shirt making. Shirts tor which | used to receive Is. 4d. were reduced to 9d each, and other things in pro- portion.” Another widow, Harriet Rothwell, de- poses, that ehe is now paid 8d tor shirts, for which seven years ago, that is, in 1834, she received 1s, Sd each. About three months ago she was pro- mused by a lady that she should have a dozen shirts o make at Is. 3d each. Upon calling for them, the ady said that the linen draper had agreed to get them made for her at a workhouse for 6d. each. — Sue lost the job in consequence ; “and a great lose 20 cts. per dozen | Patra ar to me | assure you it was,” said the poor widow, plaintively Thie i the condition of England. The system of ** protecting home industry” has resulted in filliug the poor houses with the best work people, because they eannot work cheap enough and live! sts and brainless politicians, thet England “ hae grown great and rich under the protective system.” Who and what have grown rich and great?’ The Queen’s German husband is great, and his fox hounds are fat and strong; but what are the 26,000,000 of hard working people? Why the fe males are making three shirts for two cents, and the men are rioting and starving. This is the result of the “ protection of the lawyers.” The same system will produce inevitably the same resultshere. The master manufacturers will swell in wealth and im- portance and become rich and powerful, and the masses of the people will starve. County Nomrxations.—The Democratic County Convention to nominate candidates for Sheriff, County Clerk and Coroner, meet to-morrow even- ing, by adjournment, to conclude the business en- trusted to their charge. On Friday night, after nine ballotings, they were still unable to make any choice, the last ballot being for Henry Atwood, 34; John Emmans, 20; John J. Westervelt, 17; and Wm. C. Seaman, 11. In thisposition of affairs they adjourned until Tuesday evening. The total num- ber of delegates being 85, whoever is nomi- nated, must receive the sanction of 43, or @ majority of all present. This’ delay of four days will give such an opening for the ac- complishment of private intrigue and trade be- tween the delegates that a nomination will most probably transpire at their next meeting. The pre. sumption is that a portion of the friends of Atwood and Westervelt will unite, and as the Seaman men will throw their strength into that scale it is most probable that Atwood will be nominated for Sheriff, with an understanding that Westervelt is to be re- tained in his present place as Under Sheriff. The friends of one of the three prominent men must give way, and we think this result more probable than that the friends of Emmans and Westervelt will unite. The great disadvantage under which Wes- tervelt works 18, that thepresent Deputy Shenifle are nearly all his advocates, and the presumption, there- fore, is, that if he 1s nominated they will be retained in office. The other candidates being net bound by such trammels are free to promise as many deputy. ships as there are delegates in the convention or ad- vocates in the street. This “ tickle me” sort of po- sition has a wondrous influence among a body of men selected as the delegates to this convention were. Itisagreat point in the game, and if well played by those who are in pursuit of office, will ef- fect much, The next trick is the playing off for the offices of Coroner and County Clerk. Many a de- legate will be seduced from his path of duty to his constituents by professions of deep, shrewd de- signing and dishonest men in the delegation, who will “honorably promise,” if he will support their candidate {or sheriff, they will go for his candidate for Coroner or Couaty Clerk, or perhaps for both. They will thus secure vote after vote, and when their end is accomplished do as they please in performing the promise made that produced such a result, as the secret system of selection by ballot instead of a viva voce vote effectually se- cures them against alldetection. It becomes this convention to select as candidates for these impor- tant offices men whose reputation, whose sterling integrity, whose intelligence and firmness of char- acter, will be unqnestioned, as none other can ever be elected by the people of this proud city. The offices of Sheriff and Coroner are brought in such immediate connexion with the people, that unless the names of such men are recommended, party trammels will be thrown aside, and the candidates of the Whig party elected. No two offices within the gift of the people are so liable to corruption by temptation, from dishonest and corrupt men, and as no legislative principle is to be effected by their election, party usage will not be adhered to if the candidates are men unfit or incapable of perform- ing the duties of the office. The Whig delegates elected on Friday last, meet on Monday next to recommend candidates for these offices, as also for members of Assembly. The present candidates for Sheriff are Col. Jones, of the Sixth ward, late Keeper of the City Prison; and Captain Alexander H. Schultz. For County Clerk, Morr's Franklin, Esq., late Alderman of the Seyenth ward, and present State Senator, and Gecrge Ei- chells. For Coroner D3}. Griscom, and some dozen otner physicians. The Whig Senatorial conven- tion, meets at th e Broadway House to-morrow at 12 o'clock, and if Senator Franklin refuses a re- nomination for Senator, he will probably be recom- mended for County Clerk at the Convention on Monday next. The Presidential delegates from each Congressional! district, chosen on Friday last, being all Clay men, meet on Monday of next week, to select from each district to repre- sent this city in the Whig National Convention to bejheld at Baltimore in May next. The delegates of the American Republican party, meet this evening at the Fourteenth Ward Hotel, to neminate candidates for State Senator, Sheriff, County Clerk, Coroner, and Assembly. This par- ty, professing a strict adherence to nothing but pure and unadulterated Americanism, have increased at an astonishing pace within the past few months in this city. The result of their proceedings will therefore, be eyed with interest by politicians. This will be an exciting week in politics. Prestpentiat Devecates.—The Jeadere of the Cathoun partyin this State have concluded to re- commend elections to be held in the several Con- gressional districts for delegates to the National Con- vention, inthe month of Merch next. We under- stand, aleo,that the Van Buren men, fearing that de- legates thus sent, fresh from the ranks of the people, will be accepted by the Convention, and those se- lected at Syracuse rejected, avow an intention of running delegates in opposition tothe Calhoun party, in order to secure a portion of the second set in fa- vor of their candidate. Joun Rerp, alias Cuiston.—Oliver M. Lowndes, Esq, who went to England with officer Benjamin F. Hayes, to recognise Reed, who is supposed to be the person who committed the extensive forge- rieson the house of Jacob Little & Co. and the southern banks, returned in the Great Western on Saturday. Officer Hays remained until the 4th of this month, in order to obtain the decision of Lord Aberdeen, whether Reed was to be given up ornot under the new treaty, The impretsion of the offiv cer is that such will not be the case, and he will therefore be compelled to return without him. The evidence agains: Reed is scarcely sufficient to hold him in custody, and the offence was also commit- ted previous to the ratification of the Ashburton treaty, that compels the delivery of escaped rogues. Sounp Steamers —The Maseachussetts left on Saturday afternoon for Stonington, with a large number of passengers, but before getting into the Sound broke some trifling part of her machinery, which obliged her to return. The Worcester, about the same time broke her shaft, and was towed to the city. The passengers of both beats were trans. ferred to the Narragansett, which boat left yester- day afternoon tor Stonington. The same northeast gale on Saturday prevented the departure of the Rhode Island from Stonington at the usual hour, and she had not arrived when we went to press. The Massachusetts and Rhode Is Jand will soon be withdrawn from the line, and the Narragansett and Mohegan be substituted. The Massachutetts will be overhauled, and a new en- gine put into her. The Rhede Island is to be lengthened and remodelled, so as to increase her speed. They will be in order to take their places Yet we | q, are told by canting demagogues, parasite journal: | 7) again early in the epring, and will, without doubt, be the most splendid boats in the country. Stazet Loavers.—There can be no greater nui- sance than the collections at street corners, of row: dy cigar smoking boys. On Sunday, especially, these idls vagabonds obstruct the passage way, insult la- and assault way-farers with perfect impunity. is particularly the case in Grand street—every corner, from the Bowery to the east river, has its own separate riot. The officers of the ward are exceedingly remise, AND TRE VAUXHALL —The Sixteenth wal Fait of the American [astitute opens on Tuesday next, and nothing else will be thought of by our citizens, old aud young, for the nexttwo weeké. The Fair w be the all-absorbing topic. Politics, Tylerism, Van Burenis:n, Calhounism, Mesmerism, Mormon- ism and all other isms, must give way before the American lnstitute-ism. Every thing will be there, and every one will go to see every thing—all will be competition, crowding, crushing, and rushing. Not @ young lady in New York, or a hundred miles around it, but will be certain to visit the Fuir, to.admire and to be admired. Beaux will be in con- stant requisition. Papas, uncles, sweethearts, cou- sins, and thirty-first cousins, from the grandpapa of seventy to the interesting darling little brother ot ten summers. Statesmen, Governors, Congress- men, politicians, musicians, physicians, dentists, wig makers, and makers of every thing from a penny whistle to asteamengine. All will be busy, bustling, and benevolent, and all are sure to be de- lighted; for tiis Fair will far surpass any and every one of its predecessors, in the number, variety and beauty of the articles of American skill, ingenuity, and handicraft; and cannot fail to establish the pre- emiaence of American citizens in all that apper- tains to science, arts, agriculture and manufactures. ‘The managers, among whom are some of our most enterprising fellow citizens, have spared no eflorts to discharge their duties faithfully. The momert the Fair of 1842 closed, the preparations for 1843 were commenced. Letters were sent to every Go- vernor, Senator, and distinguished citizen of the Union, urging on them the great benefits which must result to the country from such exhibitions, and inviting competition in every branch of Amer- ican industry. Replies have been received, giving the latest, the fullest and the most inter- esting reports of the exertions making in the several States—the whole forming a most valuable collection of documentery evidence of the increa- sing progress of our noble Republic in civilization. Samples of manufactures, mechanic arts, improve- ments, inventions, and agricultural produce have been received from all,and will establish for this Fair acharacter, andan interest never before possessed by any other, either here or in any other State of the Union. The Silk Convention, the assembling of the State Agricultural Society, the Plonghing match at Paterson, N.J., and the great Cattle Exhi- bition at the Vauxhall Garden, are all items of the deepest importance to every patriot. The Machine- ry department has been considerably increased, and the number of working models will exceed that on any previous occasion. A bag of cotton in the seed has been sent from South Carolina by an en- terprising cotton grower, and a number of product’ from seeds, exhibited at the last fair, and distri- buted among the members, will be shewn. A new feature has been added in the live stock depart~ ment, which will excite no small attention among the female visiters. A poultrypen has been laid out in the Vauxhall, and an active competition has been going on for the past year among the farmers’ wives,asto who shall bear home the premium for the best turkey,rooster and Michaelmas goose. Twenty- five premiums are offered in this department. The horticultural department has received numerous additions to its list of contributors, and the com- mittee are most sanguine in the result of their ef- forts. The variety, richness, beauty and high per- fection of the productions promised, as well by pro- fessional as by amateur floriculturists, (among the latter, we notice a number of ladies as competitors,) will eutitle the horticultural room to the especial at- tention of the visiters. In this and the egricultural department, the following premiums are offered :— 4 gold medals, 30 silver cups, 36 silver medals, and 101 volumes of standard works, appropriate to the different objects—besides numerous discre- tionary premiums for supplies of flowers, or for such other articles in the department as the judges may deem entitled to especial distinction. - The Board of Agriculture, have been most liberal in their arrangements, and the exhibition of pure blood, improved, native stock, at the Vauxhall, will surpass everything of the kind ever before offered to the public. In every department the utmost activi- ty prevails, and all anticipate a most glorious result. The exertions of Colonel Wakeman and his ac- tive assistant, Mr. Chambers, in receiving, arrang- ing and preparing, are deserving of much praise. We sincerely trust their efforts will be successful— indeed we are satisfied that they will. “ Every friend of improvement and every lover of his coun- try should appropriate, at least, one day to behold, in minature, the progress of a young, but mighty Republic in the useful arts, and in the perfection of civilization.” The Herald will be the,best medium of advertising the new inventions and other useful articles offered for inspection, as we shall pay undi- vided attention to the proceedings of each day, and make a faithful record of the speeches, sayings and doings’of all and every one, great and small. fg Benjamin Rathbun returned to Buffalo, says the Gazette, on Tuesday night, and was visited the following day by many of the citizens. Tue Weatner.—During the last wo days our hydraulic privileges have been very great. Tue Wattack.—James Wallack opens this week in Boston, at the National. Musicat Argivats.—The Great Western brought out Madame Cinti Damoureau, a French song- stress, who intends, we believe, to give concerts.— She is accompanied by Mons. Artot. a violinist. Nuaie’s.—The Italian Company, eacouraged by the crowded saloons attracted to see “ Norma,” re- peat the opera this evening, for the benefit of the popular tenor, Signor Perozzi. The true excellence of the representation ef the favorite of Bellini’s opera at Niblo’s is Signor Valtellina’s Oroveso; it is the most graphic picture of true tragedy we ever re- member seeing. The malediction and response of the high priests at the end of the firet act is truly sublime and most powerful. Whatever may be the result of the varied opinions of Signora’s Corsini and Majocchi, and previous Norma’sand Adalgisa’s, but one conclusion with regard to the original talent of Signor Valtellina. Since Fornasari we have had nothing approaching him. Signora Majoechi is to give a Cavatina from Bellini’s opera of ** Romeo and Juliet.’’ Bellini is the most popalar of the “by gone” composers. He wrote eight operas, but three of which have ever been heard in New York, how- ever; we are to have them, we perceive, by instal- ments—the first to night. Mr. T. D. Rict.—This popular, well known and ever welcome deliaeator of negro cheracters makes his first appearance to-night, since his return, at the Chatham Theatre. He takes the character of Jum- bo Jum, and sings a new yersion of Jim Crow.— Mr; Sanford, late of the Bowery, who solicits an opportunity of parting with his triends in public, has been afforded such opportunity by Mr. Deverna, and appears as Carwin, in the drama of Therese, and also gives imitations of various distinguished actors, a la Mathews. Miss Rallia has got upa new Hornpipe, in which she appears, (and Messrs, Williams and Booth repeat their amusing farce of Bumpology. Tus Amrmrneatre.—Mr. Champlin, the gentle- manly treasurer of the Bowery Amphitheatre, takes a benefit to-night, and he offers an attractive bill, which, irrespective of his own merits, will fill the house. Later rrom Camreacuy.—By the brig Lime Rock, from Campeachy, we have the Merida Siglo of the 19th inst. The Chamber of Deputies was in session, occupied at the moment with a report on the Farm Police of tne State. A decree was passed on the 14th inst., directing that the names of those who composed the army in the Jast campaign should be inscribed in the principal room of the Govern- ment house, in token of the gratitude of the coun- try. —N. 0.” Bullétin, 30th ult.

Russkuu’s Puaneraniva —-Dr. Larpver.—On Saturday morning Dr. Lardner made a personal ap- plication to the Vice Chancellor, laying before him the extreme hardship and injustice with which the injunetion granted in this case on an exparte appli- cation operated, and sueceeded in convineing his Honor of the propriety of granting a special order for hearing the motion to dissolve the injunction, without waiting for the regular day, which would be the 16th inst. The Vice Chancellor has accord- ingly appointed Wednesday morning for the mo- tion. The circumstances of this case seem to be pretty nearly as follows:—M. Gouraud, a French gentle- man, who practised the art of Daguerreotype, and gave lectures on mnemonics or “phrenotechny,” as he called it, was engaged last fall by the propri tors of the planetarium, to exhibit that instrument, and explain it tothe public. After lecturing on it in this city last winter, he discontinued the exhi- bition in March, packed up the instrument, and de- posited it, as his own property, in a warehouse of storehouse in the city. There itremained for about six months.. The proprietors, meanwhile dissatis- fied with Gouraud’s proceedings during its exhibi- tion, and still more indignant at seeing the instru- ment shut up and allowed to remain so long unpro- ductive and useless, applied at length to the Courts for redress, and recovered legal possession of it, giv. ing the security of two wealthy citizens for $24,000 each to satisfy any claims which Gouraud might es. tablish against them. They then agreed to sell to Dr. Lardner more than half the property in the ap. paratus, the Doctor agreenng to use it in illustration ot his lectures on astronomy. M. Gouraud, now, without making any demand on the proprietors, or giving any notice of his inter- tion, or inshort making any complaint whatever, filed a bill in chancery, and upon an affidavit verify- ing such bill, made an exparte application to the Assistant Vice Chanceller, upon which he obtained the present injunction, being required to give no other security except his own bond for $700. M. Gouraud, it is swora, is, or was recently an appli- cant for the benefit of the bankrupt act, yet in this case he has sworn himself to be worth $1500 over and above all just debts. The injunction was served on Dr. Lardner on the 28:h September. By the rules of court a cepy of the bill ought to have been served within six days after- wards. It appears by the affidavit produced on Sa- turday that no copy of the bill had then been served. The defendants are therefore kept in the dark as to the nature or grounds of M. Gouraud’s com- plaints. Dr. Lardner has proved that the proprietors of the planetarian have already incurred a loes by this pro- ceeding, amounting to not less than $1500, (double the amount of Gouraud’s bond,) and that their loss will rapidly accumulate by delay. We are informed that the value of this splendid piece of illustrative mechanism, with all its append- ages, is estimated at little less than $20,000. In the hands of a man of extensive scientific attain- ments, endowed with the power of presenting sci- ence to a popular assembly in an attractive and in- telligible style, it is hard to say what such an in- strument may not be worth. From the reception which Dr. Lardner’s lectures have met with in eve- ry part of the Union, during his late tour, he ex- presses much confidence that he will be enabled to render this instrument of very great public utility to the nation, ina sequestered corner of which that mechanical ingenuity and spirit were found which produced the finest piece of illustrative machinery (as we are aasured it is) that can be found in any part of the world. Newark, N [Correspondence of the Herald. 1 Newark, N. J., Oct. 5, 1843. Family Jars—Progress of Partizanshiy—Approach of the Crisis. Dear Bennett :— Since my last letter to you, the political sea of this district has continued ‘to cast up mire and dirt,” with tenfold more fury ; and its wavee in their up- heavings, appear to have thrown on the surface al the scum and froth which had settled to the bottom during their long calm. A most uproarious politi- cal meeting was held last night in Stewart’s Saloon. This meeting was called by the Pennington clique, but the Pet Halsted clique, nothing daunted, at- tended in large numbers. It was as ‘‘ ring streaked and speckled” an assemblage as old Tammany could ever boast of in her most palmy days— “ Mongrel, puppy, whelp and hound, And cur ef low degree,” assembled to bark and yell at the good and bad things about to be said to them. Comparative or. der being finally restored, a president and half a score of vice presidents were duly elected, togethe™ with three or four secretaries. Resolutions were drafted, and read, and all things appeared to be going on smoothly, when lo! high above the heads of the audience, in the little gallery appropri- ated tothe musicians, which had hitherto been en- tirely vacant, suddenly appears the immaculate **Pet.” Not more surprised were Saint Cuthbert’s monks when “ Stood Herold, the daunth in midst of the hall,” than were the,leaders of the opposing clique. But like those venerable monks, they soon recovered their self-porsession, The air was rent with hisses, yells and groans, mingled with cries of “ carry him out.” But he, having very prudently drawn up the ladder by which he had obtained his elevated posi- tion, laughed to scorn the puny threats and] jeers of the ignoble crowd ; and, like the stately Juno, high above the sea of heads, stalked in awful grandeur that “god-like man.” Having exhibited himself for some time, amid the maledictions of our clique, and the cheers of the other, he proceeded like the valliant Mike Walsh, ona similar occasion, to seat himeelf on the bannisters, and taking front his pock- et pencil and paper, commenced taking notes of the oceedings of the meeting. The first speaker was Chas. King, Eeq., formerly editor of the N. Y. American, whe is an adopted member of “ the family.” He spoke for sometime, endeavoring to throw all the biame from his own shoulders, and {rom those of his constituents, on to the other clique. In the course ef his remarks, he said something de- rogatory to the gentleman in the gallery. That worthy youth slowly casting his eyes {rom the sheet on which he was writing, with the greatest sang froid, informed the audience that it was “a damn’d lie”; after which spirited remark he once more re- sumed his labors, uamindful of the commotion which he hadjcreated amongthe crowds below him After several other speeches were delivered, among the best of which, was that of the Secretary of the famous Patterson Delegation, in which he tried to make the peeple believe that all the nice operations of the clique at that place, were gare accidental, the meeting was addressed by r. A C. M. Pennington, who answered the accusations of Mr. Halsted, made against him at a public meet- ing a few evenings since. Secoming excited, he gave the “lie direct” to the Jittle gentleman in the gallery. “Pet” did not know how to resent this insult exactly, but after considering a moment, he placed the thumb of his right hand upon the extre- mity of his nose, and pointed all the fingers of the aforesaid hand directly towards his honorable op- ponant, which deed of noble daring, drew tremen- dous cheering from his clique, and turned the laugh upon his enemy. In the course of the evening, Mr. Kinney was presented to the audience amid the most obstreper- ous noises of allkinds. He gave his hearers his confession of faith, thanked them for their kind- nees, and departed. He does not appear to have the slightest idea that he is but the mere foot ball ol a cligue— “O wad some pow'r the giltie gie us To see oursel’s as others see u,6” thought J,as Isawhim stand before sensible men, attempting to make them believe that he was a free- man, while the meanest of his auditors, if hey could but onceenter into his feelings, would not have changed situations with him. ‘The meeting finally adjourned when Pet attempt- ed to make a speech to a tew stragglers who remain- ed. Buton account of the cheering of his own clique, and the groaning of the other one he was unable to procced, and shorty after disappeared ‘The crisis is now rapidly approaching which is to determine the fates of the rival cliques. Our elec- tion is on next Tuesday and Wednesday, and large bets are offered as to the result. The chances thus far are about equal; the Halsted clique has the most money, the Pennington cligu: has the most brains. The contest is entirely between the office holders and the office seekers, However the election goes, a Whig will be elected to Congress, but neither of the candidates can be trusted ont of sight, as they are not the candidates of the people, but of interer- ted cliques. Yours, truly ‘Foun BarLEyconn. gence. Poxice.—Yesterday was a rainy, miserable, disagreea- ble day—just euch an one as keeps thieves within doors, nd police officers snugly housed—therefore nothing turnedup worthy of note. Notwithstarding the weather was euch as would prompt unfortunate geniuses afflicted with ennui, the horrors, or empty pockets, to commit sui cide, amd at one fell swoop to shufite off their mortail coil and all its burthens and responsibilities, yet the Coroner ‘was not applied to for assistance, and his industrious De- puty whiled the hours away in anticipation of the time when his illustrious predecessor might becalled into of fice through the revolution in political affairs of the county. Should such a result ever transpire, as in due course of time it may, it is hoped that the successor of Dr Archer will be enabled to select a Deputy as competent, as efficient, and one who will, asthe present has for the past three years, leave a neat, full and concise record of every inquest taken during that time, with all the testi- mony registered for immediate reference. This fact re- flects great credit upon Coroner Archer and his assistant, as no record was kept previous to his term of office. Superior Court, Before Judge Oakley. Oct. 7,—In the case of Campbell P.

Decisions, Oct. 7.—James Ludlow vs. Austin Otis.— This was a motion forat.ew trial, upon a bill of excep- tions. In 1841, the plaintif, by ageat, made an arrange- ment with the defendant to import from Liverpool a till of crockery, to be delivered within four anda half months from date oforder, atthe defendant's store at Truxton Cortland county, N. ¥.—terms cash, on delivery. The goods were ordered and delivered; meantime Otis had sold out to a Mr. Sage, and on demanding payment, Sage gave his note at 60 days, payable at the Bank of Syra cuse for the amount, $228,52, which note was 'protested at maturity ; Otis subsequently vaid $100 on it, and pro- mised to pay the balance when ne came downto New York. ‘The defence set up was that the plainti, by hs agent, had accepted Sage as his debtor in the place of Otis. Judge Ulshoeffer charged that the vote of a third party is not payment of a previous debt, unless it was so expressly agreed, and if so expressly agreed to take the note atthe risk ef the creditor, it was abinding agree- ment, and that taking a note without such agreement merely suspended the ee of action during the time the note wastorun.

TRAE Ee LS $112,925 ‘The condition of the country now is such asto alarm those architects of ruin, who, at a time, when the cur rency of the country had lost its expansive power, and had reached thestable foundation of specie, passed a tariff for party and sectional purposes, which has destroyed commerce. This startling fact is evident, from the im. ports into the whele United States for the year ending September 30,1843. They amount only to $50,000,000 !! 4 smaller amount than any year during the present century with the exception of the two years of war, 1813 and 1814. They are less than under Jefferson’s embargo, notwith- standing that the population, wealth and resources of the United States have increased so prodigiously. This fact is the more interesting to the citizens of New York, when it is considered that two-thirds of the commerce of the Union centreshere. What will become of our navy, our marine, and our national character, if this worse than Chinere policy is persisted in? How frequently do the advocates of commercial ruin, appeal to the old re. strictive policy of England, as the means of her great- ness. At what period of the world was the English pro- tection confined to one branch of her industry at the ex- pense of all the rest? The first care of her government has ever been to foster her shipping interest; for that was the navigation act passed. It was a mistaken policy, which she has nearly abandoned, although while Europe was continually at war, and the United States were her colonies, she became great in spite of her restrictions, At this age of the world, when all tne nations of the earth have come into the field of commerce in competi- tion, and the greatest success depends upon the greatest skill, industry, and economy, the United States have voluntarily destroyedtheir own commerce, in order to benefit a class of manufacturers, who to the}whole popu- lation, are as one to 1 to 20. Inthe midst of a commercial community surrounded by 350,000 persons, whose busi- ness has been lessened $50,000,000 in one year, the Courier calling itself a commercial paper, stated as follows on Saturday :— What in this is most Gratifying to the patriot, is the fact that the evils which the Free Trade Party predicted would follow, have not resulted from the adoption of that wise measure; on the contrary, all the good has been ac complished that was anticipated by the most sanguine ad- vocateof the protective policy; if we except only the shipping interests, which although suffering, is gradually adapting itself tothe new state of things. This is consoling, indeed. The shipping interests of a great nation—the nursery of our navy, on the efficiency of which alone the political inflzence of the Union de- pends, is doing the best it can under hostile legislation. — Yet we'are told that “all the good has been accomplished that was anticipated from the tariff.” ‘ ‘The customs receipts for the year for the whole Union are short of $11,900,000! while the ordinary expenses have been $23,000,000. The necessary result hes beena large debt and a deficit of $6,000,000 in the means of the Treasury between now and the Ist of January. This perilous condition ief the Federal Treasury, is th evitable result of the embargo on commerce, it is, which alarms those who have brought it about. Tosupply the deficit there ' exists authority to issue Treasury notes bearing an interest not exceeding 6 per cent. The pro- jected movement of the Secretary in issuing these notes ‘at a nominal interest and making them payable on de- m ond, is an evil which has necessarily grown out of the present tariff. The Government was deprived of its re- venues by the tariff, and allowed to issue Treasury notes bearing interest. The same tariff, by ruining commerce, destroyedthe demand for money. The Government is obliged to borrow, and the Secretary takes advantage of the market to do so on the best terms he can, and this is to borrow the money, not of the banks, but of the people at large. If the notes bearing a high rate of interest are issued to the banks, the banks will issue their paper mo- ney tothe people. The operation will then be for the” Government to,pay the banks ¢300,00@ per annum, and the people will holdas a circulating medium ¢5,000,000 of bank paper money. By the proposed project the peo ple hold the Government paper directly, without expense to the Treasury. If the banks took the notes they might issue any quantity of their own bills they pleese.— The Government cannot issue more than $5,000,000.— Thus the worst featureof paper mosey, unlimited iss isremoved. The Richmond Enquirer isin error in sup: posing that we advocate government paper money as a general thing, any more than we advocate public debt — But the debt has been created, not by the Executive, but by the infamous tariff, which has crushed commerce, ruined the business of thousands, and deprived the Gov vernment of revenue. One object of the tariff party isto createa national debt, which has already swollen to $25, 000,008, at an annual expense of $1,250,000. Now we advo, cate the movement of the Treasury onthe ground that it isthe best and cheapest modein which a debt, created by party iniquity, can be contracted, andto exist only until the people have remedied the matter. When the public debt bears no interest it offurds no plunder to the stock jobber. On Friday we published the imports of free articles. into the United States for the years 1842-1843.
