NEW YORK HERALD. New York, Tuesday, October 10, 1843 Crrar Litexatune —The jollowing have just been published, and are for sale at this othce, together with 1 test publications ef the day, at the wholesal and retail prices—The Monikias, by Cooper; Mrs. El lise Hon ekeeping made essy, or complete instructor in all branches of cookery an? domestic economy. Whig Movements—Position of Mr. Webster influence of the Courter and Enquirer. The Ward elections of delegates to the Whig County, Senatorial, and Congressional Conventions took place last week, and as that party appears to | have vettled down on Mr. Clay forthe Presidency, uo Particular interest wes fell in the rezull, no op- position having been made in any instance to the Clay ticket. To mark, however, more signally the character of the delegations elected, the following resolutions were adopted in one ward, and resolu- tions ofa like character in every other:— Resolved, That our delegates to the Congressional Convention, are hereby instructed to vo'e for such per- son as acandidate to the Baltimore Convention, as is known to be a friend of Henry and wucompto- misingly devoted to his nomination us the whig candi- ate for the Presidency. Resolved, That we hail with unmingled joy and tri umpb, the fact that, in all sections ofthe Union, and by i varieties of party sentiment, Henry Clay ie now una- nimously recognized the sole candidate of the whig party for the Presideacy of the United States. An insidious movement with respect to the Vice residency, which was promoted by the Clay organ pir excellence, the “Courier & Enquirer,” was, how- ever, productive of great alarm, and from each of the seventeen wards, resolutions such as these were added te those given above:— Resolved, That our satisfaction at this present avowed unenimity,and our confidence in this result shallnot di- minish our vigilance against either open cxternal hosti- hity, er secret internel treachery. Resolved, That having had one solemn lesson on the selection ofa Vice President—af we do not profit by it now we shail never de: erve success, or attain it, Resolved, i suffered by the selection ofa false fri ot Henry Clay, henceforth we will tole- rate no candidate for the Vice Presidency, who is nota trae, warm, steady and devoted friend of him whom we recognize as the lite, soul and centre of the whig party, and as the embodiment of true whiz principles. These resolutions are susceptible of easy interpre- tation, ‘‘ But where shall 1 go?”—the significant question put by Mr Webster to his friends in Bos- ton at a meeting in Fanevi! Hali—difficult as it was then of solution, has become still more so by his protracted stay in John Tyler’s cabinet, until, like the dove sent forth from the ark to ascertain the subsiding of the waters, he now finds not a place ainong parties for the sole of his toot to rest vpon. Atier seeret consultation and much sapient plotting with some few friends of the “ godlike,” the shrewd editor of the Courier and Enquirer, by vir- tue of the dictatorship in the Clay party, which he assumes, sent forth his edict that Mr. Webster should be the candidate for the Vice Presidency, and thus be brought within the pale of whiggery. But lo! and beho d ! the annunciation of such a de- sign came like Satan in Job’s household, causing consternation amongst the sons of men ; but assoon as they recovered their scattered faculties, they re- pudiated Daniel Webster in the expressive language whieh we have quoted, and gave proof convincing that the oracle was a false one, and that it had ceased to be entitled to respect, and hence their de- fiance of “secret internal treachery,” which they give eo determinately This incident must be deeply mortifying to Father Webb, and it is but reasonable to suppose that he has had some preparatory intimations of loss of au- thority with his political friends, and therefore, as he must ‘rule or ruin,” he has become the oracle of a party of religionists. ‘The voluntary promi- nence which he so recently took as a controver- tialist, indicated a waning of his powers as a politi- cian, and the reduction of the price of his paper proves that his fortunes in his journal are as despe- rate as his authority with his party. We pity Webb ; but subm/ssion to misfortune will but test the since- rity of the religious character which he has assum- ed, Mr. Webster has, admittedly, much christian fortitude, and with much complacency he continues to enquire, ‘* but where shall I go 7” Canadian Parliamentary Affairs, Inthe Legislative Council of Canada, the Hon. Mr. De Blaquiere has Jaid apropositicn before that branch of the colonial government for an address to be presented to her majesty, requesting that a gene- ral pardon might be granted to all these concerned in the late rebellion. He deemed the advent of the new Governor General as a peculiarly auspicious moment to commence an era of good feeling, but be- yond that, he might have even urged that the lead- ere of the rebellion having been brought back and elevated to positions far above any to .which they hed heretofore aspired, it was but an act of common justice to restore the dupes of those leaders to their ireedom, their homes and their civil and political rights. It appears that the motion was productive ot great confusion; and while its justice was con- ceded, it was urged that there were circumstances of embarrassment which it would produce, and therelore it was withdrawn. From the intimations thrown out during the debate, we doudt not that a general amnesty will be soon proclaimed, and then the government will have a debt of some magnitude to pay to those who remained Joyal, amidst nume- rous defalcations. On this subject this was the lan- guage of ihe Hon. Mr. Morris: He could not he!p expressing a wish that wh: aii were auxious to pardon rebela, some litile atten- tion had been paid to the wants and sufferings of ‘nose individuals who in their noble defence ot the Crown and the principles ot the British Constitution v4 this country, had been dnven irom their homes to endure ali the horrors of a Canadian winter ; he Mhought that the loyalists of Canada had a night to the gcatitude of this Province, and that since their claims had net received that priority of attenuon due to them, that at the least they should be remu- eraied at the same time when the persons who d caused that want and suffering, should receive & general pardon. However, ws the house hed been assured by the head of the Government, that the subject was under the consideration of His Excel tency, whose heart would not allow him to aet cru. eily, sad whose love of justice was notorious, [hear, ]he thought that it would be as well af his rable inend would withdraw the motion. other subject of debate has been the address in re;ly to the speech from the throne, and several honorable members have complained of silence on the subjeet of the injuries inflicted by the friends of the present party in power—the restored rebels—on the loyal inhabitants of the province during the re- bellion. Mr. Dunlop said many on the western frontier bad lost their all in the revolutionary scenes, brought on by the friends of the present administra- tion, aud yet their claims had not even been honor- ed with a pursing notice. The discussion of this point Was participated in by a large portion of the members ; but the addrees, which was simply an echo of the speech, was adopted. As yet no legis- ness has been done that even requiresa ik Democzatio County Convention to nomi- Svidates for Sheritl, County Clerk and Coro- f, Meet this evening at Tammany Hall, to con- e the business before them.

Tue Storm —The recent storm extended to the stric Columbia, and did great damage in V aslungton, .—During the perfor the opera of Norma last night at Niblo’s, while the most intense attention of the large audience was rivetted te the stage, there was one solitary exqui- tite—a Monsieur Rivoil—who stood on the steps communicating from the parquette to the boxes, to the left of the etage, ogling with an opera glass the bouquet of beauty which the theatre presented | Unfortunately he was net transparent enough to afford a view of the stage business throvgh his person," though transparent enough to afford an insight into his‘character, and as he obstructed the view of a young gentleman in the boxes, he was quietly requested to change his posi tion. Having, however, from long possession, use and oceurancy established a right and title to the spot which he then oceupied—for it is bis nightly vocation to stare young ladies out of countenance— he positively refused to budge, and in addition was voluble with abuse of the “Yankee” for ma- king so outrageous « requirement. Some few words ensued, and the Frenchman struck the young gentleman in a cowardly manner on the head, and then made himself scarce amidst the execration of the audience. The youth who was thus assailed, was helpless from his position, and disarmed by the presence of ladies; and by his forbearance he proved himeelt every inch a gentleman. He will, how- ever, at the proper time, revenge the outrage. He made this announcement ia a tone which, while it conveyed no alarm to the ladies, gave proof of a settled determination. We only regret that the cowardly assailant was not horsewhipped by some sturdy hand on the spot. Sons or Tempsrance.—The first anniversary of this order was celebrated yesterday in this city, by agrand Parade, and Oration by T. II Oakley, Esq., at the Tabernacle. The procession made an impos- ing appearance, numbering over one thousand in {ull regalia—imany divisions came from a distance. We saw a eplendid banner of ihe Washington Division, DC. Many beautiful banners were in the line. This order has rapidly increased from sixteen to nearly three thousand members. Every person that unites with them must be a Temperance man—its main features are Benevolence and Temperance. We have seldom seena finer body of men together. Sianora Casrztuan’s Concert.—This highly gifted lady gives another grand concert this evening at the Washington Hotel, Broadway, assisted by several eminent artists in the musical world. The bill of performance presents a rich treat, and con- teins many of those popular songs so often sung by some of the celebrated artists who have visited us. Signora Caetellan is an artist uncqualed by any ene of the present age. She resided in Italy four yeaa, studying under the most celebrated masters ot the time. A distinguished pupil of the Conservatoire of Paris in 1836, she soon afterwards became prima donna at Milan, Venice, Rome and Fio- rence, which is sufficient to stamp her as a vocalist of the most superior order. About two years since she returned from Italy, and until very lately has been performing engagements in Mexico and New Orleans. She will sing this evening a Theme and variations, composed by Rod for the celebrated Catalani, and all who have heard that distinguished singer will have a fine opportunity to compare her with Cas- tellan. Her English songs are very interesting; the foreign accent given to the pronunciation, make them more pleasing than those; sung in her native language. We believe she has other engagements to fulfil in the southern cities, which wil! prevent a New York public from having another occasion very soon to be enraptured by hersweet notes. All who have any music in their souls can now be gratified with heavenly sounds en earth. Nrsto’s.—The Ravels give another of their high- ly pleating evening's performance to night,ihe very laughable ballet pantomime of Godenski, or the Skaters of Witna.and the attractive Conjurer’s Gift. Gabriel Ravel in Godenski first astonished and ce- lighted a New York audience many years ago, and hissubscquent exertions have but increased his ad- mirters. He is beyond all dispute the most talented pantomimist ever appeared in America, and in no piece does he better bear out encomium than in Godenski. Wis skating scene is a matchless epeci- men of activity and fun. We would give ten pias- tres to see his first appearance in this character at the Mexican Grand Theatre, for which establish- ment the family proceed next week. The most ex- travagant reports are in circulation as to the enor- mous terms the Ravel family are to receive ; but whatever they earn they richly merit. Antoine Ravel appears as clown in the Conjurer’s Gift, which is well worthy a visit to Niblo’s. It is all life and fun from the beginning to the end. Park TueatTre.—Mr. Hacket has recovered from his late severe illness, and performs to-night at the Park theatre in the characters of Falstaffand Mon- sieur Mallet. Margaret Bisnor.—This female preacher has lo- cated the bottomless pit in the centre of the earth. Mary_anp Exection—Tne Resvrt.—At length we have definite returns f om all the counties in the State, and they show that the whig cause has suc- ceeded triumphantly.

East Winds and Bad Fuel—Hotels and Humbug— Public Buildings and Pea Soup. Mon Cues Awi:— This city is more distinguished for its vile east winds than for its morality, yet in the latter article, it 18 celebrated farand near. One can feel Boston fitteen miles distant, for it breathes the castern air 89 strongly, aud attempts to take in so much of it at a single breath, that more than its own lusgs are filled ; it penetrates into the lungs cf the surround- ing villages, and hence the increase of consump- tion in this section of the country. Every one here, newsboys and nabobs, mer- chants and mechanics, porters’ and pickpockets, seem to partake of the steam mania that is now in the city. jag are delighted to hear, that the Great Western had bad coal on her last trip to Eng- land, and appear certain, by her being one day longer on the passnge in consequence thereo!, that many travellers to Europe will act foolishly and in- fiesseatiy by going ia the Cunard steamers for the future. It is a well known fact, for it appears on every inap of America, that geographically alone, New York is aud must ever remain the port of the Union—the American depot for all Atlantic steam chips—the centre of commerce, morals, fashion, finance, travellers, and literature. This delight of the Bostonians relative to the bad quality of the fuel the Western burned, exhibits at once the weak- ness of their arguments to induce the Cunard com pany to continue this city as the western terminue of their steam ships after the present contract ex- pires, say about ihree years hence. But the com- pany is composed of a set of gentlemen, too intelli- gent, and too comprehensive in their views, to let arguments of such a twaddling character influence themin any way. They see plainly enough, that the French government have acted wisely in their arrangement, and, in three or four years, we shall have equally as clear a view of the’ wisdom of the managers of the Cunard steam ships. Nous verrons. There are several fine buildings in this city, orna- mented enough for any part of the world, yet the Custom House with its granite pillars and semi-pil- jars is not equal to yours, and as for the Exghange Tam of opiwion, that it could be easily stowe: away in the big sales room of the New York Ex- change. I will, however, measure it for the sake of certainty in the matter. Ihave seen no church that can be spoken of in the same_ breath with the new Trinity Church located opposite to the head of Wall street, and the Atheneum in Pear! street, is as much like yours in beauty of architecture, as the Leveret street Jails are like the ‘‘ Tombs” in Centre street Ot the hotels, with one or two exceptions, the same view mey be taken. 1 think that the Ameri- can, in Hanover street, kept by Rice, the Tremout, in Tremont street, and the Merchants’ Exchange in State street, are as good as any you have, but apart from these no comparison ought to be drawn, although all the public houses here are good enough for any place of the size of this. A history of the hotels in the world would make a curious book, and a perfect brochure in history. It is a wonder that it has not already been given. Y As the chap saysin the play, ‘anon! anon! or tg Au revoir, . City Intelligence, Disckacerut Ficuts ann Riots, and THE TOTAL AB- sexck oF Pouce Orricens.—We have received the fel- lowing communication, and as it details, with sufficient cjearness, a disgraceful scene, which recently occurred in this city, we give it in the language of its writer :— Sim :—Of the revolting scenes, hourly enacted in vari- ous parts of this city, the great body of owr citizens are pewly altogether ignorant. I witnessed one of thi brutal affrays last evening, (Saturday) which would dis- grace even the savages of,the forest, and which would scarcely be tolerated in the meridian of Barbary. About 9 o’clock P. M., inthe lower part of Oliver street, near Cherry, the barbarous drama commenced while the rain was pouring down as if through a sieve. A man, named Sullivan, rushed out of a porter-house, with the ferocity of abyena, and in a momenta bul!-dog struggie between himself and a man named Williamson, ensued. Here they yelled, and pulled, and dragged, and struck one auother for about half an hour. They rolled, and tumbled, and tossed in the dirt and filth of the street; and the rutfian crewd that quickly enveloped this brace of biped bull dogs, encouraged the demon struggle. After they had, in the language of rowdyism, taken their“ fill” of each other, Williamson was teken away by his friends, Sullivan remaining on the ground, halleomg and screat ing like a bedlamite for an hour, and knocking down any man he met who was not stronger than himself. But is this an isolated case, even inthis same location? sar from it. Within the last three werks no less than five of those fiendish riots occurred within the same “ diggins”— some in the evening—some at midnight, and some about the break of day. They play cards all night for money, rum and beer; cheat each other, and then break up in ‘a fight. Thus, a perpetual round of fighting, gambling and intoxication, aud blasphemy snd riot 13 keptup. The knife andthe bludgeon is familiur to the boy of sixteen, and he uses them without fear, as his clan of brother rowdies, or ¢ome of them, are always in re- quisition to back him. Tinis city, in my judgment, is bre coming much worse than New Orleans in feats of vio- lence and ruffianism; and by and by, there wiil be but littie security for person or property, unless the torrents of vice that sweep through our streets are stemmed in sea- son; and of this 1 have not the faintest hope, trom the general character of the political herd that are yearly selected to guidethe destinies ot our fine but misgovern- edcity. Inthe street rows that constautly disgrace this city and jeoperdise the lives of its inhabitants, you might as well look out for a black swen or a white crow as ior the presence of a police officer, or even a watchman.— The latter I donot blame,tor they are not in force enough to beard such danger. Wien, in the name of the honor of our city—in the name of the lives and property of its in- habitants, when shall we have a pane system, strong in purity and force, built up upon a ‘at once broad, lib- eral, andsabove ail, beyond the corrupting range of politi- cal influence, to suppress riot and crime, and protect the citizen in the enjoyment of his rights ? The people must go to work themselves. It is useless any longer to hope for any thing permanently good from an unpriccipled body of demagogues, whose heads are filled with nothing else but plans and schemes by which they can walk over our necks into power, place and pen- sion. JUNIUS. New York, Oct. 7, 1843 Py ‘Sullivan has one of his eyes entirely closed and much cut and mangled. The other eyebrow is cut open, and his face bruised and battered feartully. Williamgon received but little damage, not being as drunk as the other. N. B—Another fight in full blow while I write. Cur nis THroat.—A young men, named William E. Williams, oged about 27 years, known as one of the for: mer bloods of thetown, but who had squandered his pa* trimony in dissipation, committed suicide yesterday mor- ning at the Knickerbocker Hotel, Park Row, by cutting his threat with his penknife in his bedroom. He had been laboring fur several days past with partial attacks of delirium tremens, and had been watched by Mr. D. D. Morley, who slept in the same room with him. Yester- day morning, about 6 o'clock, Mr. Morley was awaken- ed by Williams, who had risen from his bed, and was walking backwards and forwards scross the room. Hear, ing a gurgling sound, he rose from his bed, and, to hig astonishment, he found that Williams had cut his throat. Measures were immediately taken to remove him to the City Hospital, but he died before reaching there. Prexrocker ix Petticoats.—A roundefaced, chubby little Irish girl, named Catherine Conlan, wos arrested by Fanny O'Neil, of 63 Mott street, while inthe act of picking her pocket of twelve shillings, while the parties were attending an suction in Chathom square. Cathe. rine, Who says she is «pealer of all sorts of wares and crockery, was committed ‘or trial on Friday morning at the Special Sessions. The money was recovered. Passtxa Courtenreit Money.—An elderly woman named Elizabeth Sounders, alias Miller, was committed yesterday ona charge of passing counterfeit money. It appeared that she attempted to pass a $2 note of the Cen- treville Bank, of Warren, R.1., on. George Street, of a4 Broome street, in payment for a loafot bread. The note being suspecte d, it was sent out for examination, when it was pronounced a counterfeit, and at which time it was also escertained that she had passed a similar note on John Sheridan, of 36 Broome street, for grocer The scienter being thus shown,she was locked up for trie Ve.ver THixves.—Yesterday morning, private watch- man Peter Z Cole, whose industrious attention to business we haveotten been called upon to notice, arrested two boys at the corner of Broadway and Year! street, with twe cases of silk velvet, valued at $87,12. The toys were tuken to the watch house, where they gave the names of George Penway and John Anderron. The for- mer says be is a stone cutter, 18 years of age, and lives in Brooklyn—the latter about 17, and sets up pine pins, The velvet bas been identified as stolen from the store of emith & Henderson, 176 Pearl sireet,on the 9th of October, Picarooxst in Watt Staeet.—This circumstance, and therefore, yesterday, James Tucker, of 172 er street, while passing down Wall street, Was run inst by a man parsing with rather more than necessary fore J suspecting that it meant more than was seen, felt pockets, eud found thet a valuable silk purse containing some small change anda $2 bill, had been filched from pockets.

He will be taken back this morning, and compelled to suffer some for his misleeds. Marine Court, Before Judge Sherman. Oct. 9.—Margaret MeCord ve. Robert Roberts.—This was an action brought by the plaintiff to recover the wages of her dwughter, who has been in theemploy of the defendant for the four lavt years, but is detained against the consent of the mother. The claim was for $72. ‘he defendant sppeared and defended his case in person, and produced the girl, who is ebout fifteon years of age, who swore that she had received every cent of her wager the treatment she received waa to kind that 6! prefer living with) the defend: She also testified that it wae her own desire to live there, rather than to go into the service of the party where the mother wished te lace her, The jury fonnd a verdict for the plaintiff, al- lowing her $14.

Au injanction bad been issued by order of the court, against the defendant for victualling. A subsequent ex: amination wes had in the matter, when it appeared that the defendant had received come money, but hed paid it over under the direction of Uy ‘ignee, without convert: ingitto hisown use. A discharge wes granted, aud each party ordered to pay their own costs Thaac Spencer, Jv. vs Gasner § Gasner—This was a motion tg set aside an order which had been issued under acreditor’s bil. ‘The application was to have a receiver appointed, which was granted by the Court, after atuil reviow of the cireumstunces. E.

Valentine Sherwood vs. Eliza Ann Sherwood —The ap- plicant for a divorce in this case is Dr Sherwood, dentist, doing business at No. 262 Bowery. He claims the order on the ground that his wite kas been guilty of adultery— having openlytaken up her abode in a fashionable brothel, where she remains sunk in degradation. The order was granted. Virginia Boyd vs. Edward Boyd.—In this case the evi- dence oi adultery as charged by the wife against the de- fendant was not so fully established as to warrant an order for a divorce. i Ellen Ferrier vs. James Ferrier cone, parties in this case have been separated for some time, and the charge of adultery is set up by the wife,but having failed in proving any act previous to the separation, though there was abundant proot of his illicit connexion with other women after that period, the Court withheld granting the mo- tion for the present. Court of Common Pleas. Betore Judge Ulsheiffer. Monpay, Octoren 91H —John B. Moore vs. the Hudson Fire Insurance Company.—'t he plaintiff was a dry goods merchant, doing business at No. 383 Broome street, and had insured in the Hudson Fire Insurance Company, hia stock of goods for $2500, and his household furniture for $750. A fire broke out on the premises on the 27th of January last, and on making out the return of losses, it was ascertained that the amount lost exceeded the amount insured. The company refused to pay on the ground that the stock had not been fairly valued. The case will be continued to-day. “At Chambers. Before Judge Ingraham. Morpay, Ocronen 91H.— El; Delancey, ads. Daniel Behrmai liar hardship—the parties claiming to be heard are sisters, and together with their mother, were engaged inthe millinery business at New Orleons. Inthe early part of the summer, when the tever was raging, they came on to this city, and were arrested by Behrman, on an action of trover, charging them with fraud, in obtaining trom him last fall a quantity of millinery goods, by fradulente means. The parties ngt being able to give bail wers thrust into the prison in Eldridge street. The case ha been brought before Judge Ingraham, to make the in titt show cause why they should not be discharged. A number of sffidavits were read on both sides, of a contra: dictory nature, Eliza Delancy swearing thatthe property in the store washers, and purchesed in her own name— that her sister and mother were employed by her ai d wages—that Behrman had brought an action of the same kynd at New Orleans, but had to discontinue it for want of evidence to support it. Julia Delapcey and her mo- ther also made aflidavit to the ne purpose. The plain: tiff put in counter affidavits, deny ing that he had ever of- fered them credit, or had sued them on the same cause— thot the parties were not so poor as they represented themselves, having been engaged in purchasing goods in this city since their arrival, and ha‘ actually shipped a box of specie to New Orleans since they were imprison- ed. The Judge will deliver his decision iu a few days. General Sessions. Before Recorder Tallmadge, and Aldermen Waterman and Martin. James R. Waitixa, Esq., District Attorney: Monpay, Oct. 9.——Stealing Hydrant Caps.—A young man named Charles T. Kelly, wos tried on a charge of etit larceny, ior stealing seventeen brass hydrant caps rom fire hydrants belonging to the Corporation, valued at $l each. He offered to sell them to Wm. Gilmour, of 69 Eighth Avenue, when he was arrested, and then con- feased at he stole them,as he wanted money aud could’at getit any other way. Wm. SuHaten, E-q. for defence, contended that the offence was a malicious trespass and nota larceny,as the hydrant caps were attached by chains, and that they belonged to the freehold. The Court decided thet the offence was a larceny, as they were no more attached to the freehold tian the spout or handle of a pump, that could be removed and were in- tended to beremoved if it was necessary. The jury re- turned a verdict of guilty and the prisoner was remanded for trial on another charge of stealing 60 caps of the s.me description. sd i Robbed ina Grog shop—John Carpenter, Mary his wife, and Wm. Hines, were tried on acharge of grand lareeny, in stealing a pocket book containing $34, from Edward Fanning, of 16Hamiltonstreet, on the morning of the Qist September, The complaivant stated that he had been toaballduringthe night previous, and stopped at the porter house kept by Carpenter,near the corner of An- thony and Centre sireets, aud while there, alter taking something to driak, he went to bed with the wife of Car- nd was robbed by the three prisoners of containing $34. For defence, John Mi called, who said that he and Carpenter went to the No: River, and hada “little muss,” and coming back they had a “little spree,” and Carpenter and he sat up till 8 e’clock, singing songs and drinking. A number of other witnesses trom the Points were cailed, to show that Car penter was notathome at the hourthat thecomplainant says he wasrobved. Thecase was submitted by Mr. P. B Manchester, for defence, who was reprimanded by the Court for urging them to charge on certain points rela- tive to his witnesses, which wereen irely illegal and im- proper. The jary returned a verdict of guilty, and the Court sentencedJohn Carpenter to the State Prison for five years—his wife Mary for two years, and William Hines for three years. False Pretences—Sapard Leman, aclothier, and native of France, formerly of New Haven, Connecticut, was tried for obtuining goods under false pretences irom Sari uel M Blatchford, merehantof this city. Mr. Blatchford testified that from 1epresentations made by Mr. Leman, that he was doing a cash business at New Haven,mak in; money, and worth four or five thousand dollars’ he 60! him a bill of cloths valued at $105, at a credit of 90 days. On the same representations he also sold him, on the 26th of October, a bill of cloths, valued at $289 68, at four months’ credit. A few weeks atterwards the amount of the first bil! was paid, and in the month of December he sold him another bill of cloths, for $185 53, at a credit of four months. These bills were not paid, and on the 16th of February, it appears that Leman had moved to this city, and applied for the benefit of the bankrupt law. That his schedule showes he owed $2677, and that there were $184 due him, and his personal property was valued at $125 only. On ascertaining this fact, the presecution com menced. The evidence for prosecution closed, and the court was then adjonrned till this morning, at 11 o’clock, when the case will be continued. 0G- GENERAL TOM THUMB is still at the Ameri- can Museum, and his visiters are perfectly delighted with him.

Office and consulting rooms of the College, 97 Nassau street, Avorner Vrxcratne Parniot Gone —Oa Friday evening the venerable Jamxs UEANDER CaTicart, Esq. died at Washington City, D. C., in his 7th year. At the early age of ten years he entered the Continental Navy, and served as midshipman on board the Contederacy and Tyranicide during the Revolutionary struggle, and soon fier the peace was captured by the Algeriues off the coast ot Spein. He remained eleven years in captivity, re- turned bearer of despatches to President Wash ington, end ever since held and faithfully dis- charged public trusis abroad, when his country was seeking a place among the nations of the earth, and for the last twenty years in the office of the Second Comptroller of the Treasury. Thus has another link between the past and the present been severed. It is to be hoped that the numerous family of the deceased will not have cause to say that “Republicsare ungrateful.” Forty years ago Mr. C.’s services were eminently useful in aiding the heroic Preble and other choice spirits in the Medi- terranean, and few, very few, have met with and suffered more from the reverses of fortune in the same spirit that he has done. Farmion anp ReoisreR—AL¥xanpRria Races.— The Mount Vernon Course on Friday last was co- yered with an immense company of visiters, some of whom had travelled sixty miles, in the hope and expectation cf witnessing’the great race between Fashion and Register ; but the company were des- tined to undergo a severe disappointment, as no competitor of that celebrated and fortunate racer appeared on the course. Lady Fashion was, how- ever, exhibited to the view of the numerous compa- ny, and was galloped round the course merely for the amuzement of the epectators, who followed her around the circle with eager curiosity. In the course of the afternoon an excellent race was run between Winchester, a sore] horse, and St. Pierre, a black horse, which resulted ia favor ef the sorrel horse. It wasa well-contested race, both horses running neck te neck for some length of time. The race between Winchester and St. Pierre, was two inile heats.

The weak brokers have mosily got out, set tled up and broke, and are nearly ready to toke hold again. Harlem rose }; Farmers’ Loan }; Illinois $; Indi- Ohio }; Kentucky }. At the new board there is some confusion consequent upon the late fall. The tendency of the stock market for the last six months has been gradually improving, but the specuta- tors in the street keep constantly ahead of the real pri- cea, When the majority buy for arise, the rates go up rapilly ; when they are all “full,” some idle rumor is set afloat by the bears, that knocks all the prices down ; but every reaction leaves prices higherthan ‘efore. At the end of every thirty days since April the average of prices has been higher, although a constant fluctuation is caus edby the buying and breaking of speculators. When prices are down,purchases are made for permanent invest* ment, and at every reaction the supply upon the market islessened. For this purpose selections are made of the dividend payiag stocks, the values of which are as fol. lows, governed by the market rate of New York State 5’s, to yieldan annual interest of 5 per cent :— Market | Exc.of Stock.

The great discrepancy between the mar- ket prices and the real values, is indicative of the unset- tled state of public opinion, which is continually agitated by the speculations of the brokers. The difference be. tween the real values and the market price is, however, constantly decreasing, showing the rapid appreach ef the period when public confidence will have placed them ail onapar with each other. Of course those which are now the cheapest will rise the most. Some of the brokers have failed, not broke. They are in the same plight as an old operator some years since, who broke every three months. On one occasion there ‘was arumor that he had again failed. Accordingly, on acquaintance accosted him, “Well, Ben, have you broke again?’ “Why, not exactly ; I never wos mended.” ‘here are some shipments of specie to the south to-day,in consequence of thestate of exchanges, which makes it profitable to sendspecie. Thus arethe exchanges regu- lated. Whenthe south earnsspecie they get it, instead of, as formerly, bank promises. The specie returns through the country in the summer in the purchase of goods.

At the commencement of 1842, the ta- riff of the extra sessioncame inte operation, imposing a duty of 20 per cent upon most of the free goods, according to the compromise act, which provided that when the ne, cessities of the government require, the duties should be raised to the level of 20 percent. The effectof that ta- riff in detail appeared in our article of Friday, and the aggregate is seen above. The imports of free goods aro diminished $36,000,000, and the ad valorem goods increas. ed $15,000,000. The aggregate imports diminished near $23,000,000, being no higher than $100,000,000. At the commencement of the fourth quarter of 1842, the present tariff came into operation, and its effect is scen in the fact that the imports of free goods were the highest, and the aggregate imports fell to $13,600,000, or an average for the year of $54,400,000.
