In a week or ten days: probably before the election, they intend to start a newspaper to be the advocate of the claims of Mr. Calhoun to the exclusive nomination of the demo- cratic party torun against Mr. Clay, and to show,by diverse analysis, the difference existing between Mir Calhoun as e politician and Mr. Van Buren—a fferenc’, however, which any one can see at the irstelance. This paper is to be conducted by an association of philosophers and politicians of this city, comprising Mr. Joho D, Van Buren, Mr. McCracken, and several others belonging to a com- mittee Of persons, who are most excellent in getting up litde articles and philosophical experiments on society. Probably about $5 000 will be required to cerry on this experiment, and it may involve aa out. lay of $10,000 befere it is completed. This is a cu- yious movement. The politicians of the day ap. pear to be most ¢ lly and ridiculous in their charac- ter; they seem to be without even the judgment of children. Here is aw amount of $10,000 going to be threwn away, for it will be all lost, ia order to bring forward Mr. Calhoun and give him a chance for the nomination, by the establishment of a news+ paper while there are so many all round and about thecity. The asperity now existing between two sections of the democratic party is strong enough without this additional mode o/ strengthening it; but we have no dovbt that before three months are over, with the Van Buren papers on the one side, and the Calhoun papers on the other, they will so rend up and tear each other to pieces that neither will be nominated, and probably they may both end the party itself be overwhelmed next year. Of »/l men in the world, there is none so utterly igno- rant of the newspaper business and the operation of newspapers er political feeling as those who call themselves politicians, poets, and philosophers Well, let them go on. Five or ten thousand dol- lars of good money collected in Wallstreet and elsewhere, spent amongst a few printers, may keep them in beef and banquets for a year, while the party will gain nothing by :t; for these movements, and all other such attempts to force one man down and elevate another, will only result in the destruc- tion ef both—and that they will see before the year 8 out. Custom Hovse Annoyances.—Of a!) the grea annoyances which travellers to Europe, particularly 10 France and England, endure, the greatest is the annoyance they meet with at the custom houses, in the searching of their baggage, the tumbling about of their apparel and clothes, together with other frivolous expedients to which the subordinate offi- eers of the custom house frequently resort as a means of extorting pettyfees. Everyone who has been abroad will understand what we mean, with- out any more particular description. But what was our surprise to find recently thatthe pitiful annoyan- ces at the custom house in this city went far beyond and were far more numerous than those met with either at Liverpool, at Havre, or any other European port. We have several instances given us recent- ly of this thing, and we mean to make out a list and send it toMr. Spencer, the Secretary of the Treagu- ry, who will nodoubt correct the evil atonce. We have learned, indeed, that they even take out se- cond hand clothes—things that have been worn— and make them pay duty ; and in some cases they exact daty where no duty ovght to be paid at all. We presume the head of the custem house here, andsome of his employees, are more engaged in looking towards the future than upon the present time, and that they mean to make the best of the short time that they will keep their places. Tur O’ConneLt Rent.—We perceive that a re- peal meeting has been held in Albany, and about 2400 collected amongst the repealers there, to be seat overto O'Connell in Dablin. Tiris is rather a smal! aftair, and we doubt even whether a cent of it will be sent across the Atlantic. We have no doubt that the repeal movement is merely an at- tempt madego operate on the elections, aud chat as n00a as they are over the money may be used for some other purpose. The business is overdone. Tn this city the Irish naturalized citizens appear to have come to their senses, for they pay no further aitention to the O'Connell movement, with the ex- ception of a few, who merely talk about it The factis, O'Connell and his movements are not worthy of notice, and they are beginning to be un- derstood oa both continents. Sineutar Devetorements tn Finance axp Mo. RALS.— We refer our pious readers to the report o! the eingular develepements in minor morals, which began yesterday ina .rialin the Superior Court, in which Moses Y. Beach, the financier, figures some- what largely as a moraliet—and also to our money article, in which some of his operations in finance arerecor‘ed. The trial in the Superior Court will be conunued to-day, and much rich evidence is coming out, if it be allowed by the Court. In the mean time, those who have Plainfield Bank notes, would do weil to get them redeemed ee soon as poe sible. No time is to be lost Crim. Con —Our readers will remember that a few months since our moral city wasthrown into an excitement, by the discovery that the young and lovely wife of Albert B Vancott, watch-maker, at 88) Bowery, had be enseduced from the arms o} ber lord, and the marriage bed defiled, by a young sprig ci the Jaw, named Willian H. Sharp—and the eubse- queat horsewhipping match in Broadway, opposite Pinteux’s. To-day the injured husband appeals to a jury, in the Circuit Court,for damages, and a host of autiful young ladies will be in attendance as wit- ‘ Th tral will be one of the most interest- and the mysteries of New York will be avelled in as bold and striking colors as those of Keyhole eketches of illicit love, heard from o/| fair maidens, will throw the printed ime moralities of Paul de Kock into a cocked hat.— ous times, these.

Their prespects are encouraging inthe extreme. We should not be at all surprised if seven or eight luadred students of medicine wii be attracted hither this season. The advantages hich our city oflers, as the location ot medical leges, are now wniversally known and admitted Chis is the great metropolis of the Union, and as a matter of course, must lead the way in science, re- ligion, morals, literature, commerce, finance, poli- ties, and every thing else which attracts the intel- lect, industry and thought of that great, peculiar, ever-pressing-onward division of the family of Adam —the Anglo-American race. One thing appears to us to present a most favora- ble augury of the future success of the medical col- leges. The professors, one and all—in the old echool and the new—have completely recovered their temper. They have buried former jealousies and animosities. Discord, and envy, and petty spleen haye been exeommunicated, and the spirit of peace is now engaged in fanning these estimable gentlemen with his dove-like wings. This ic highly gratifying, and furnishes the most unquestionable ground of anti- cipating for the colleges, a season of unexampled prosperity and success. We were the first to point out, minutely and repeatedly, the superior claims ot our schools, and to direct the attention of students, in all parts of the country, to the rich and inviting field which this great city—with its vast population —its capacious hogpitals—its numerous dispensaries and charitable institutions presented. At very considerable expense, we reported many of the in- teresting lectures delivered at both colleges; and also the operations and cases at the clinigues. In this way we not only attracted studenis here, but we spread, throughout the Union, the evidences of the great advance of medical science here; and, aiso awakened the public mind to a fuller sense than it had ever entertained of the claims of the profession of the healing art to universal! attention and regard. We did not err in thus vigorously taking up this movement. There never was a pe- riod whenso many evidences presented them- selves, asare now epparent, of the healthy, thriving condition of our schools of medicine, and of the rapid advance of the science in all its depart- ments. Itis interesting to mark the change which has taken place in the ranks of the medical faculty, with regard to whet they had formerly regarded as heresies, whose only appropriate punishment was contempt. We perceive that the subject of one of the lectures, to be deliveredin the University Col- lege, next week, is announced thus :—‘* Home. pathy, and other transcendental doctrines in Medi- cine.” We like tosee the free spirit of inquiry thus permeating our medical institutions. Oae great barrier to the progrees of medicine towards dignity and perfecticn, as a science, has been the dogged, contemptuous silence, or sneering condemnation, which new theeries—new views—new discoveries have so repeatedly met from those who were, or assimed to be, the only orthodox teachers of the science. But medical science, like every other branch of human learning, now begins to experience the beneficial operation of that inductive philo- sophy which inquires—investigates—takes nothing for granted—never relinquishes the pursuit of truth— and which is now every where at work, dispelling the mists of ignorance and sophistry, rooting up and destroying the noxious dogmas and errors of the past. This lecture on Homapathy will, we doubt not, be very interesting and instructive. That the subject willbe handled with candorand acumen, we are led to anticipate, from our knowledge of the character and attainments of the lecturer; and we have no doubt that the non-professional public will receive much aid in the work of judging of the me- rits of a controversy which has excited so much at- tention, and which is certainly of no inconsiderable interest. Another Jecture at the New College, will be on “the objects and progress of modern Organic Che- mistry.” A noble and comprehensive subject, and which we are sure willbe ably discussed. ‘* The Excellence of Modern Surgery”—the ‘ Importance of the study of Anatomy”—and topics of kindred importance and interest are also announced, and will attract appropriate attention. At the College of Physicians and Surgeons, the introductory lec- tures will also be of unusual excellence, from the judicious selection of subjects to be taken up, and —not aissected, but discussed. The prospects of this venerable school are very cheering. Besides the Colleges, there will be several private schools of medicine in operation this winter, simi- lar to those in Paris and London, and which con- tribute so essentially to the improvement of the in- dustrious and dilligent student, who desires to ec- quire a thorough knowledge of his profession. Re- gular courses of clinical lectures, it may also be ste- ted, have been commenced atthe City Hospital, by some of our most talented physicians and surgeons. Altogether, every thing now seems ina fair way of giving (o this city a permanent superiority asa place of medical education. We cannot dismiss this subject—one of acknow- ledged interest, and which we shall not neglect, without again expressing our gratification in ob- serviog the return of feelings of friendship and good will amongst the professors in the two colleges. There is assuredly nothing to be gained in allowing the operation of feelings of an opposite character. Quarrels with any body are certainly as prejudicial to the prosperity, as they are to the dignity of any scientific institution, It is amuch more profitable work to gain friends than to create enemies. Per- adventure glory may come by a bloody noze; but ceteris paribus, grave professors in colleges, should seek it by more pacific means. And so with this paternal advice—given free gratis, for nothing, yet not altogether uv worthy of afee—we cordially with apleasant and successful winter season to the Mr- vical. Coutecrs or New Yorx.

In consequence of the uncertain- ty which attended the General’s arrival he was not received with military honors as was at once con- templated, but his couptrymen residing here turned out em masse and gave him a grateful and affectionate reception, and conducted him to the Astor House, where he has fixed his head quarters during his stay in New York. He was waited upon soon after his arrival by Ro- bert H. Morris, Eeq., our esteemed Mayor, the French Consul, many Frenchmen now amongst us, and great numbers of our most distinguished fellow citizens. Indeed throughout the day he gave audi- ence to such ashonored him with a special ca!l,with the utmost affability and courtesy, and in the most democratic manner he joined the general table both at breakfast and dinner. Amongst his other visitors was a committee ap- pointed by the two Boards of the Common Council, to tender to him the use ot the Governor’s room" which he politely accepted ; also a committee from the Directors of the Fair of the American Insti- tute, who tendered to him aninvitation to visit their exhibition, which he likewise accepted. He was next invited to visit the Park Theatre and to this he acceded. In this way his day was consumed, and in agreeable converse with the Mayor, Gover- nor Bouck, General G. P. Morris, and others, who engaged in preparing the programme of his future movements. This morning, at nine o’clock, he visits the Fair of the American Institute—from twelve to two he holds his general levee, in the Governor’s room, at the City Hall—at night he honora Mr. Wallack, on occasion of his benefit, at the Park theatre, with his countenance—and in the intermediate time he visits the water works, and other public objects of interest. On Monday he will be escorted by a guard of honor, composed of the artillery, infantry, and na- val officers, to the ships of war ia port, the naval yard and station, to Governor's Island, the forts, and every thing that has any interest fer the veteran warrior. A programme of part of this day’s proceed- ings will be found in our advertising columns. ‘What may be the programme of proceedings here- after we have not yet learned, but a committee is engaged in its arrangement. ‘We hear that many of our military companies will turn out to mark their respect for a man who combines in his character all that is most worthy in the hero, the sage, the patriot, the friend—for pure, holy, devoted, unshaken friendship marked his at- tachment to Napoleon. About five o’clock yesterday afternoon some mis- apprehension existed on the part of many foreigners who were promerading Broadway, which was thus occasioned. A band of music, of most excellent quality, and a fine set of soldier-like fellows, whose uniform is strictly British, being glaring scarlet, came down that crowded thoroughtare with mar- tial tread, and on arriving directly in front of the Astor House they wheeled to the right, ascended the Astor steps, and took possession of the capacious vestibule of that princely hotel. Whether they re- minded the General of Waterloo or not we did not ascertain, but the imaginations of some excitable and timid persons were haunted with the ill-defined idea of asudden descentiof “the Britishers,” and a hostile invasion of the General’s apartments, for what purpose none of the alarmists could possibly define. The truth, however, was, that Charles Stetson, one of the landlords of the Astor, gave a dinner to the City Guard, of which company he has just been elected first lieutenant, and these were his guests, Tuosze $1000 Norss—-No Murper.—O. M. Lowndes, Esq. returned from Philadelphiaflast eve- ning, whither he had been to investigate the mys- tery relative to the two $1000 notes of the National Bank of this city, one of which was takes from the person who offered it to be changed at Harn- den’s, and the other from the colored man John Winrow. The affair turns out as we anticipated in yesterday’s Herald, and also confirms the state- ments of the two colored men, Tilman and Augus- tus, who came on from Philadelphia to change the notes, and who were arrested with Winrow. Wnen they were arrested by officer Bowyer, they both stated that the money had been givento them by a colored waiter named Risdon Bacon, of the United States Hotel, in Philadelphia, who said he had found the notes in one of the water closets of the hotel. After their arrival here they said they ap- plied to Winrow, who is a waiter at a gambling es- tablishment in Broadway, to get one of the notes changed,and he made application to the young white man who offered it at Harnden’s, and to whom he promised $100 if he succeeded in the operation. On the arrival of Mr. Lowndes at Philadelphia, he im- mediately called upon the Mayor of that city, and informed him of the nature of bis busiuess,when the Mayor as promptly replied that he knew all about it, and then stated, that a gentleman who had been boarding at the United States Hotel, in that city, for a tew days, had called upon him, and stated that he had recently, while in New York, drawn nineteen $1000 notes, of the National Bank, a portion of which he was about to invest in some property in the State of Ohio. That on his arrival in Philadel- phiahe took two $1000 notes from the package, which had been placed in a belt around his body, and deposited them in a pocket wallet. In a short time afterwards he missed the wallet, and gave immediate information to the pro- prietor of the house, stating at the time that his impression was that it hadelipped from his pocket while in one of the fouthouses of the establish- ment. Enquiry was made among the servants, and onsearch, it was found in the sink, with all the pa- pers safe, but the two $1000 notes were missing ! Bacon was summoned before the Mayor of Phila- delpbia, on the arrival of Mr. Lowndes, but denied all knowledge of having found the moxzey, or of having given it to the two colored men, Tilman and Augustus, to come to this city and change. The statement made by them having been corrobo- rated in its cssential points, Bacon was commitied by the Mayor of Philadelphia on a charge of con- structive larceny, and Tilman and Augustus will be sent on to-day as witnesses against him. The gentleman who Jost the money left Philadelphia the morning after the wallet was found, and will be surprised to see by this article, which he will, inail probability, read in Ohio, that the bills have been recovered through the before meutioned strange circumstances. Had the young man who attempt- edto change the note taken it to any bank or bro- ker in Wallstreet, it would have been received in af instant, but being known to the person to whom he offered it at Harnden’s, as not likely to have such an amount of money in his posseasion, by any pro- per means, enquiry was made, and when he stated the peculiar circumstances under which he had re- ceived it from the colored man, suspicion was ex- cited, which eventually Jed to the restoration of the mony to the possession of its lawful owner, who we presume, from a knowledge of his character, will divide one of the two notes among the persons who have been the instruments of their recovery. Arvair or Honor in Canava — Yesterday at half past three o’clock, Mejor Richardson, editor of the Canadian Loyalist, and Stewart Derbishire, Eeq., M P.P, hada hostile meeting.

[f one were to believe all they say in their newspapezs, all the rest of the world are vagabonds and rogues, ex- cept the pohticians. In this we make no distinction between the two parties—both are alike. A very recent development on this point of morals may be found in the following curious article from a Boaten paper, one of the meral organs of one of the moral parties down east :— [From the Boston Atlas } AnotHur Astounpixe Disciosure.—itis well known that parties were nearly balanced in the last Legislature, that the filling of the vacancies in the Senate, and through that the election ef Governor, depended upon @ 6i vote—and that the two individuals upon whom the eyes of the radical leaders were turned, were Mr. Collins, of Eastham, and Mr. Bell, of Montgomery. Of Mr. Collins and his vote, and his payment therefor, the public are already well informed. But all that bas yet come to light in that case is the fact that he voted for Gov. Mortou and his allies, and subsequently received from them a Justice’s comm: We know bothing as and corruption, but are possessed of the mean: the masner an which it was accomplished. Mr, Bell was elected as the representative of the town of Mentgomery, by whig votes, and he came to Boston openly avowing Kis intention of voting with the whigs in the legislature. He uniformly attended their caucul and voted for the whig candidate for speaker. He was constantly beset, however, by the radical leaders, and by turns threatened and coaxed—and yet upto the morning when the vacancies in the Senote were to be filled, there seemed to be no doubt that be would continue to vote with the whigs, as he haddone. Butallone sud- den he chauged his course—voted for the/radical Senators —and thereby their party came into power. The facts, which we have it in our power to state, are as follows: It was on the morning’ that the balloting took place thatthe conspirators met in the lobby ef the Clerk of the House of Representatives. Mr. Bell had come to the House intending to vote for the whig candidates for the ‘Senate, and was sitting quietly io his seat, when a men, not a member of the House, but well known asa doer of the dirty work of the party, was seen to enter the House, and go directly to Bell take hold of his collar. After amoment’s whispering, they left the Hall together, and went into the lobby, the doer of which was instantly closed. The persons who were inthat lobby are known. ‘They were the leaders and drill men of the joco‘oco party in and out of the House. What took place there is known The result was'soon seen. Mr. Bell came back to his seat—and just as the voting was commencing, the next him was left by its proper occupant, and taken pos- session of by one of the lobby conspit who followed Mr. Bell round through ail the balloting—watched his vote—took from him privately the whig ballots that he had in his hands, and saw that his part ofthe lobby con- ‘aa tulfilled. And thus it was that the Morton ad- jon was put into power. Bell’s vote did it—and thus was Bell’s vote obtained. What was the inducement which led Mr. Bell to change his vote? What was offered him inthat lobby? Let the following facts answer During the session of the Legislature, Mr. Bell address. eda letter to Governor Morton claiming something in the way of reward for his services. No answer was given, But before the session closed, the same man who took Bell from the House into the lobby, as before de- scribed, entered a tailor’s shop in Washington street and ordered asuit of clothes for Mr. Bell. The measure was taken, the clothes made, and sent to Bell’s boarding house and the bill paid by the conspirators. Soon after the; Legislature adjourned, the’same man of the lobby and ot the tailor’s letter from Mr. Bell, alleging that the $400 had been pro- mised to him, and complaming that the conspirators did not fulfil their contract. In June, Governor Morten received a letter from Mr Bell, making the same statement of the bargain in the lobby, and complaining that while his Excellency and the party were enjoying power and distributing spoils, no part of his $400 was forthcoming. On the 26th of June, Mr. Bell wrote a letter to Benja min F. Hallett, the Governor’s chief counsellor, acopy of which we have, and now present:- Morroomeny, June 26, 1843. To Hon. B. F. Hattert Dear Sin:—I wrote a few lines to you some two months age, in which I described my situation to you, and I have received no answer. 1 sometimes think that my letter must have miscarried; but, sir, you know all the circumstances ef my election last Nuvember to the Legislature. You know what was promised me in the lobby, of the Clerk of the House of Representatives. You know what you promised me in my interview with you at your house, which was, il 1 found myself distressed in any manner on my return, in consequence of my courte in the Legislature, to dre p'a line to you, and 1 should be assisted.

After I made ‘reement in your presence, with certain members ‘democratic party, just before wé ballotted to fill the vacanciesin the Senate, I little thought that they would wilfully forget to fulfil their part of th engagement. But so itseems to b ts I have borne my ci ities in silence, but shall not h longer. I consider that Ihave fulfilled my part of the agreement, and if others do not theirs, } shall see what effect public opinion will have on them. If Iget no response from this, I shall consider that it amounts to a refusal. You will please to excuse me for using strong language —for I think the necessities of my case justify it. Yours, &e. CHARLES C. BELL. P. 8.—I have not seen or heard anything of that com- mission of Justice of the Pesce that I was to have, but J see that the Governor and Council have appeinted quite a number all around me.

Dear Sin—I have the pleasure to inferm you that you have Leen appointed a Justice of the Peace for the county of Hampden. Your neme was presented sometime ago, but has been delayed in making out the commissions in other appointments. It would give me pleasure to see you, if you should visit Boston. Respectfully, your obedient scrv*t, B. F. HALLETT. Cranes C. Bewt, Eeq. There is another tact eonnected with this history that gives u character to the whole transaction. Villainy resorts to artifice to conceal itself, and the criminal that violates the law in one respect will not hesitate at any crime which may cover up his guilt. Thus aman that will steal will lie, and he who wickedly and wilfully tampers with an election, will even perjure himself to escape punishment. Now mark the sequelof this‘conspiracy. Mr. Bell re ceives nothing but the paltry commission of a Justice of the Peace, in payment for his vote. He is discontented, and through the whole summer complains to the conspi- rators that he is not paid according tothe contract—and, finally,on Aug 14th, Governor Morton received a letter trom tian renewing hisclain,and warning him if he is neglected that he will mi loud appeal to the people. This threat, of course, r of these conspirators—it the Governor communicated it tothem. What was to be dene? The matter must be hushed—but how shall it be done? The letter which we ive below shallexplain. Mr. Bell must be decoyed to wr ,where the conspirstors could again get around and, by threats of vengeance or by compromiso, bis lips could be sealed, and this letter was written for this purpose. [corr] Boston, Aug. 80, 1843. Mn. Bett—Monroomeny :— Sin—There is to be a Democratic Convention at Wor cester on the of Sept, and! would advise you to be ‘sent on the afternoon of the day before,at many emocrats will be ent that afternoon, and some, no doubt, whom you would be glad to see. Lsball be glaa to see you, and all the rest of the good Democrats who so nobly sustained the cause of Democra- cy lust winter. I would advise you to be present without fail, remain yourfriend, J. T. FISK. Here is the letter—but whois J.T. Fisk? Was hes delegate to the Convention! Who knows any such man? The directory couitains no such name. And to make the matter more deGnite, we ask if B. F. Hallett knows any such man? We aver that there is no sub man. No. The letter is a false, counterfeit, and villain- ous document intended to decoy Mr. Bell into the hands ofthe conspirators. More than this: The handwriting ia known to be that of one of the leaders of the Locofoco party—and will be open to th ection of all who have a curiosity to find out whois J.T. Fisk. By this amusing disclosure it would appearsthat a politician’s conscience in these cheap days is worth just ‘a new coatanda pair of breeches.” This ie the whig tariff. The locofocos say that Charlee Bell, who gave his vote to the governor for that amount, had received ‘ feasts and flatteries” from the whigs, but as they did not come up to the price according to the tariff, Charles went for Governor Morton, and thus passed the whole patronage of Meesachusetts into the locofoco hands, during one year, fora suit of clothes and $400 in promises. How amusing ail this is tous miserable sinners! A revolution is produced in Massachusetta bya new coatanda pair of breeches. John Davis lost hie electionand $3,666 66 a year by the awful influ. ence of acoatand a pair of breeches. Two hun- dred and fifty office holders lost their places and sa- laries worth $355,677 56, by the influence of a coat and a pair of breeches. The locofocos lived in clo- ver for a whole yeur, by the magic power of a coat and a pair of breeches. The Mahometans, in their day of victory, weed to fight and conquer under the standard of the prophet, which was simply a pair of his breeches hung upon a pole, and we suppose any party that can apply a coat and a pair of breeches to @ praper use, in these our days, can reach the high- est offices in the land. Tailoring is looking up in the world; end no wonder that they get higher pri- ces, when breeches possess such influence in poli- ues, City Intelligence. Police.—Thursday, Oct. 20th —Tax Piast Dar Ovry or Prison.—Notwithstaoding-the energies of our phi- lanthropists have been exercised in the establishment of Penitentiaries and similar places of imprisonment in order to create some reform among criminals, yet but little re formation is ever preduced by such incarceration, and it is therefore questionable whether solitary confinement is not more productive of beneficial results. We were led to this conclusion, from the fact thats fellow named Ar thur Ellis alias John Doe, who left the Penitentiary at Biackwell’s [sland yesterday morning, proceeded into the city, and on his arrival met one of his old asseciates, named James Williams, with whom he proceeded into Chatham street te seek their fortune, and when opposite the store of Thomas W. Lockwood, 142 Chatham street, Ellis clinched a piece of Paris cord cassimere, valued at $17,60, and started off with it, with Williams in the back ground. The rogue was overtaken and delivered to offi- ver Scally, who prea-eded with him to the Police, but while on the way Williams attempted a rescue, when Ellis eluded the grasp of the officer, but was arrested by our Police reporter, who happened to be crossing Centre street, as the rogue came running up at the height They were both committed. “Straw Bai” Pensury ued ona charge of subornation of perjury, in inducing the colored barber Tucker to commit perjury, in justifying as bail to release two thieves, clients of Peck, (a full notice of which was published yesterday), will pe examined this morning be. fore Justice Stevens on the charge. The poor, deluded colored barber, who was persuaded into an act that may send him to Sing Sing, was admitted to bail last evening, Samuel Cunninghem having entered security in the sum © $600 for his sppearance to answer.

His curious curiosity was rewerded by a full commitment by Justice Taylor, for an attempt to steal by secreting himself. Thus much for his avowed curio- sity.

James Gorpon Bennett, Esq — Dear Sir :— The weather to-day is unpleasant; it has been raining during the entire morning, and per conse- quence, Chesnut street does not present the bril- liancy with which it has been graced the entire week. At the National Theatre, on Tuesday evening, Forrest appeared as Macbeth, and realised the ut- most expectations of his numerous friends. The house was crowded to excees in every part, and the immense applause that greeted this great actor du- ring the performance, evidenced clearly and une- quivocally the eatisfactory manner he enacted the ambitious Thane. Various opinions have been ha- zarded on the relative merits of Forrest and Ma- cready, in the character of Macbeth; the majority, I think, prependerating ip favor of the former, as the best in the part. Macready made his second appearance on Weds nesday evening, as Hamlet, toa crowded and fash- ionable house. I noticed, as being present, Hon. James Buchanan, Hon. George M. Dallas, David Paul Brown, Esq., our young and talented native tragedian, E. S. Conner, and other distinguished personages. The performance of Hamlet, by Ma- cready, was gratifying in the extreme, and added laurels to his fame. I am inclined to the belief, from observation, and the opiniens of others, that his personation of this character gave more satis: faction than that of Macbeth. He was ably sus- tained by Mises Charlotte Cushman, whose perform- ance of the Queen was excellent, Miss Susan Cush- man also deserves great praise, for the very beauti- ful manner in which she personated the character of Ophelia.. She richly merited the lavish applause with which she wasgreeted ‘This talented young lady improves rapidly in her arduous profession. To-night Macready is announced to appear as “ Wer- ner,” in Lord Byron’s beautiful tragedy of that name. ‘To-morrow night (Friday) Forrest will appear as Hamlet, at the National, and doubtless the house will be crowded, there is so great a desire to again compare the performance of each in the same cha- racter. Our new Sheriff. Morton McMichael, Esq, en- tered upon the performance of his duties this morn- ing, and made a clean sweep of all the old clerka and deputies, down even to the bill poster. The new principal deputy, [ understand, is William S. Price, Esq., a young lawyer of great promise, and the slerks are MajonjA {G.Duhamel,Martin W. Alex- ander, and J. W. Sharkey. The out-door deputies appointed thus far, [ understand, are Captain John Killine, Samuel McFate, and one other, whose name I have forgotton, leaving two. or three yet to be appointed. George P. Little, it is said, has been appointed keeper of the debtor’s apartment of the Movement Prison. I will give you the addi- tional appointments in my next, if they are made, and correct any error, if error there should be, in the names of those sent you to-day. _ Burton will give a farewell entertainment at the Arch Street Theatre on Saturday, openiug the house “for that night only.” He promises “ lots of fuo,” and of course he never makes a pledge without re- deeming it. | : Out-door business is flat to-day on account of the weather ; the fall busimese, however, is nearly over, and hence it makes Jittle difference about it. The ladies are the only persons that seem to care whether it is clear or not: they, sweet souls, when the weather is bad, are prevented from displaying their charms to the admiring multitudes who throng the pave in fair days. Trenton. (Correspondence of the Herald.] Trenton, Oct. 26, 1843. Gov. Pennington’s Message—Electioneering for the Gubernatorial Chair—Revision of the State Con. stitution, &c. &c. Dear Sir :— + Yhe speak the popular sentiment upon the subject of Gov. Pennington’s Messege. It is here viewed asacommon place production. Here, as elsewhere, the Herald is ingreatdemand. Upon the arrival of the cars there was a great scramble, and the “edi- tion” so soon exhausted, that I was forced to borrow a copy of a friend. To-night the all-absorbing question of Governor is to be put at reat in caucus. Gubernatorial stock at this present writing, is as changech‘e es the cha- meleon, and will be quite as unfortunste to most of the pretenders as “speculations in ealtpetre.” At first the warfare consisted in a manly argument upon the score-of qualifications; but mow vou hear nothing, as the contest waxes warm, but Van Buren and anti-Van Buren, Tyler and anti-Tyler, and go on, untileach of the gubernatorial candidates has inturn beenaccused of favoring and ppposing the nomination of Van Buren, Tyler, Calhoun, Cass, Buchanan, and “ Old Tecumseh.” * hould, however, the choice fall upon either of the gentle~ men I named in yesterday’s letter, no discredit will come to the State, and the wailings of the un- successful ones wil! terminate as a ‘nine days’ wonder.” AS Petitions are pouring in from all quarters for a re- vision of our State Constitution, and Lam happy to state that the intelligence of the present Legisla- ture, as a body, affords the fulleat assurance that a convention of the people willbe called. More upon this important subject in my next, as the hour for closing the mail has arrived. Yours, truly, Amicus. Tus, Discwaroe rrom THe Navy Yarp.—In an- nouncing the diecharge of mechanics and laborers from the Navy Yard at Gosport, in our lust, we erred in the statement that there would be a part retained to get the new sloop of war (the James Town) ready forlaunching. The orders, we since learn, are to stop all work coming under the head of “increase and repairs,” and the hands emploved on the ship must ‘knock off,” of course. The work which is not to be stopped, will, itis ed, occupy the time of some 80 or 100 hands about a week or two—after which there will be a pretty clean sweep.—Norfolle Herald, Oct. 24. —_———— Sales of Stocks at Philadelphia.
