RR HERALD. — turday, October 28, 1843. wee New York, Mr. Wenstex’s Movements—Wuere is nz Go- ino?—By an experiment which we made yesterday, nthe new and ceeply interesting science of clair- voyance, we ascertained that in all human proba- bility Mr. Webster will arrive in this city to-day, by the steamboat from Boston. We therefore re- quest Mr. Stetson, of the Astor House, to provide :uitable apartments for this distinguished gentleman, and have every thing in readiness for him to meet hus political friends, and enter on the discussion of that very nice question—“ Where shall I go?” During the period of ovr recent visit to Europe, we find that Colonel Webb has nominated Mr. Web ster asthe next Vice President, and that a great many doubts have been thus excited with regard to Mr. Webster's disposition towards that effice—tha many ot the Clay men are hostile to Mr, Webster— that many others entertain different feelings—thot his speech at Rochester has not thrown much addi- tional light on his future course—that, in fact,chow- der is chowder still—and that Mr. Webster is Mr. Webster still; and that a very considerable flashing of light is wanted to illuminate the whole business Ic is not to be supposed, by reasonable people, that we can, just now, after casting only a single horo- scope, state with perfect precision Mr. Webster’s fu- ture destiny—that weuld require seclusion in our towa, and careful perusal of the heavenly bodies for three er four days longer at least. We do not yet, then,choose to draw aside the veil which divides the present from the future, and point out the mysteri- ous career of this distinguished statesman; what po- sition he may take, in the approaching political contest—what bearing his movements are decreed to exercise on the success or defeat of Mr. Clay and the other candidates, One thing,however, is certain, and it needeth not a prophet te reveal it; from the events of the jast two years, it is evident that Daniel Webster is not only one of the most distinguished of statesmen, but that in political manwuvering he is as far ahead of Mr. Van Buren as Mr. Van Buren is ahead of Mr. Calhoun,or as Mr. Calhoun isahead of the weakest man in the country. There isnot a single man in the broad Union that can at allbe compared with Mr. Webster, ia point of the tact, ta- lent, magic influence, dexterity, or power of opera- ting successfully on the minds o* his fellows, which he has exhibited in all his recent movements. {tis very evident that Mr Clay cannot be elect- ed without the assistance of Mr. Webster and his triends, It is very evident that Mr. Webster has blinded Captain Tyler—thrown a mysterious in- fluence around hiin—magnetized him—made him preciacly as obedient, and as capable of volition, as those classical personages, Punch and Judy, are in the hands of the man behind the scenes of that pri- mitive theatre. If we chose to enter into a history of the movements since the death of General Harri- son—if we were to step behind the curtain and show to this generation how Mr. Webster has touched Judy on the one side and Punch on the other, set- ting them a jumping this day on the right and to- morrow on the left—we could furnish one of the most laughable exposés which ever was made under the sun. The mysteries of polities would thus be discovered to be more interesting, bewildering, and inflammatory, than al] the “Mysteries of Paris” put together. The nomination of Mr. Webster forthe Vice Pre- sidency, by the Courier & Enquirer, was merely a part of the generalgame which has been going on, and which will, if t! ofocos ouly have the good- ness to continue 8 they very 1 of Mr. ( E t the mantle for the future al Scout being now, as we anderstand, entir: tof the question, according to atrangements which have been made. The friends of Mr. Ciay have lungs—hands—votes whippers-in—to carry on the contest. But they have no money. They have not got the sinews of war. They are a poor beggerly set of devi!s—all fit to be recipients of the benefits of the bankrupt law— without means and without credit. But the wealthy friends of Mr. Webster—the opulent manufacturers of the east—are the men who hold the purse strings, and their influence will compel Clay, and ail his friends, to come to their terms, and place their man exactly where they want him. But, in the mean- time, Mr. Webster occupies a dfficult position in relatioa to Mr. Tyler, or the Panch and Judy ad- ministration at Washington. All the new appoint- ments tiace, the death of Hanison, have been of Mr. Webster's friends, aad Mr. Websier raust take care to adopt such a course as wil! preserve them, at the same time that he secures the eleciion of Mr. Clay, and the future satisfactory solution of the emphatic query, ‘ Where shail I go?” These are merely a few of the views which oc- cur to us now in the anticipation of Mr. Webster’s arrival. But the magic influence of his near ap- proach will doubtiess throw into our mind a great many additional views; and in all probability Mr. Webster will give up the idea of making any speech at all, or describing the journey he means to take, or telling where he is going, leaving all for us to explain, which we shall fully do on another day. probably—end int dent, and the secu to Mr. Webster; ‘ Nominations For Assemsiy.—The democratic delegates to nominate members of Assembly met last evening at Tammany Hall, and selected the following candidates, which completes their ticket : Wm. Shaler, 6th Ward. John E. Ross, 15th Word. George 8. Mann, 11th Ward, The following are the names of the persons pre- viously nominatea :— Thomas Jeremiah, of the 17h Ward. Micheel Burke, Va sie Wm.

The crowd assembled on the steps gave him three cheers as his carriage moved from the Hall. In the afternoon he visited the water works, and several of the public institutions of the city, and, in the evening, attended the Park theatre. On Monday he visits the Navy Yard, Governor’s Island, and the North Carolina, and after attend- ing the dianer of the French residents, next week, departs for the north, visiting West Point on his route Mysrenizs or New Yorx.—We are persuaded that the “ Mysteries of Paris’ are not to becom pared at all to the “‘ Mysteries of New York,” when the latter are properly and tastefully revealed. Take, for instance, the reports in this day’s paper. We have also the report of a case in the Surrogate’s Court, in which Col. Webb figures, that is as rich as any thing from Eugene Sue. It is a case of le- gacy hunting—and wiil be given in a day or two. Cnanirs F. Mitcuent, Parvoxen.—-Governor Bouck yesterday pardoned Charles F. Mitchell, ex- member of Congrees, who was sent to the State prison for three years for forgery. He has been confined nearly a year. ‘Che cause that prompted the pardon, was his rapid decline by consump tion, Which it is supposed will econ terminate his days. Governor Bovok will remain at Howards’ Ho te] until Tuesday morning, when he leaves for Ai bany. Missour: U. §. Senator.—It is eaid that Gov Reynolds has appointed Judge Atehinson, Democra tie, of Piatie county, United States Senator, in placeof Mr. Linn. JnuegaL Voring.—Robert Dale Gwen, has been indieted in Harrison county, Indiane, for illegal voting. i el 2 Og- Adams & Co. have again given us Boston papers ahead of the mail, A Dust amono Porrriotans—Bott's Heap Feany rue Figurine Grourp—Guann Texmination.—One of the most exciting, amusing, Quixotic and extra- ordinary denouements to a contemplated duel took place yesterday morning in our city, and caused for @ short period of time almost as much interest about the Mayor's office below, as Marshal Ber- trand did in the Governor's Roem above. It ap- appears upon investigation, that at one of the re- cent meetings of the democratic delegates at Tam- many Hall, to select candidates for sheriff, county clerk and coroner, Henry P. Wanmaker, Eeq., an attorney at law, and one of the aids of General Storms, and Edward Patierson, Bsq., late clerk of the Board of Assistant Aldermen, and present attor- ney of the Alms House Commissioners, who were delegates from ghe ninth ward, quarrelled on some subject relative to the proceedings of the conven- tion, when Patterson called Wanmaker a liar, and Wanmaker immediately drew off and knocked him down before the assembled convention. This was an insult that Patterson very justly con- ceived was not to be easily brooked, and, after deii beration, a challenge was written by him and deli- vered by his friend, Bernard Bagiing, late deputy clerk of the Board of Assistant Aldermen, but now employed in the tegister’s office. Tne challenge was accepted by valiant Harry, rifle barreled pistols with percussion caps chosen as the instruments— Bul’s Ferry, not Hoboken, the place selected for the interesting ceremony—and Friday, at 10 o’clock, the hour of meeting. In the meantime, some of the friends of the two parties, who had been let into the secret, applied to the Mayor to in- terlere; and officers Bowyer and McGrath were de- puted for that purpose. They crossed over to Hobo- ken yesterday morning, bright and early, and while on their progress to the scene of contemplated ope- rations, spied Patterson and Burling in a one horse conveyance approaching towards them, they haviog mistaken the proper road, and beingon the point of turning back to enquire the correct route. Tie of- ficers immediately arrested the parties, and secured their implements of warfare, which consisted of two large duelling pistols with percussion locks, and other necessary ammunition and appendages. They were immediately taken before the Mayor, and held to bail in the sum cf $500 each, to answer the offence, which is a felony under the present laws of this State. Nothing has been heard from Wanma- ker, but it is hardly to be supposed that he is yet in waiting at Bull’s Ferry for his antagonist. The pro- bability is thatif he wentto the place of meeting, when the hour expired, and his antagonist not arriv- ing, he concluded that cowardice, and not the strong arm ot the law, had prevented him from per. forming his engagement, and hetben left the ground as much the conqueror as if he had shot his man But our impression is that Wanmaker’s waggery has superseded his valor in this instance, and, instead of soing to Bull’s Ferry, he joined the escort of Gen, Storms, at 6 o’clock yesterday morning, and pro- ceeded en route to White Plaine, to be and appear in his own proyer person at the sham fight to come off to-day over the old battle ground. If so, his‘* sham fighting” will be one of the best jokes of the sea- son among politicians, lawyers and soldiers. Mixitary.—The corps which visited, the Astor House on Thursday afternoon was the Light Guard, of which Charles A. Stetson, Esq., has recently been elected first lieutenant, and not the City Guard, as erroneously stated in our paper of yester- day James Mason, Esq., late commandant of the City Guard, having resigned that post, has also been unanimously elected second lieutenant of this fine corps. A magnificent dinner was given by Lieut. Stetson to the company, at which General Bertrand aad suite, General Peter B. Porter, Briga. dier General Keeler and staff, and several other distinguished guests, were present. Upon Marshal Bertrand entering the dining saloon, escorted by the officers of the brigade aud Light Guard, the fiae band from Governor's Island struck up the “ Mar_ seillaise,” and the reception of the distinguished ve. teran by the corps was enthusiastic in the extreme. Upon the health of General Bertrand being pro- posed with ‘three times three,” and drunk with great enthusiasm, the General, in ackaowledging the compliment, gave ‘The Militia of the State of New York,” whieh was responded to by Genera! Keeler, who proposed ‘‘the National Guard of France” Lieut. Stetson concluded a most elo- quent speech with the following sentiment: “The triend of Napoleon, who did not fear to cling to him through life and in prosperity, and had courage not to desert him in adversity.” Navat.—The statement published in Mobile of the Vincennes, at Pensacola, being under orders for Havanz is incorrect. The Somers would leave there in a few days for that port. The U. S. ships Macedonian and Saratoga, of the Atrican Squadron, were at St. Vincent on the 10th of last April. Com. Perry had changed from the latter to the former. An U.S. ship of war, steering south, was passed in the Caicos passage on the 15th instant. Now ror tHa Racs.—We have received another note from Mr. Stevens, in which he accepts the chalenge of the pilots of the Washington. We now see no “‘Jet up” for the race. The challenge has been given and accepted. That settles the af- fair till the race takes place. To tHe Evitox or tne N.Y. Hensto : Sin— In your paper of yesterday there isa communication from Mr. Arden, giving his own and his boatkeepeers’ ac- count of the races between the Washington and the Gim- crack. Their version of the matter differs widely from that given by the gentleman on board the Gimcrack.— They were simple euough to suppose that, starting side by side with the Wasbingtou, aud after an hour and a hal! or two hours sailing being(as near as they could judge), at least one hundred yards ahead, they migat, without much stretch of imegiation, call it a beut. ‘They thought, too, that a breeze that at one time Jurched the jib boom of the Gimcrack so badly that it was matter 6! consulta- tion between my brother and myself whether we had not better take in the sail, was something more thanu three knot bi iit wes not, the effect it produced was cer- tainly We honestly thought it was driving us seven or eight.

S.—Knowing that the lateners of the season would be no disadvantege to the Washsngton,! choose the @th of November, being obliged to take out the foremast from its being badly sprung. Lecrures on Ei 10N.—Mr. Magenis, a dis- tinguished professor in the art of rhetoric, proposes to give a series of lectures, to commence next Mon- day. See anvertieement. We hope he may be very successful. Rockwriu at NiBi0' The enterprising Niblo has made arrangements with Rockwell to give a series of equestrian entertainments at the garden. The plan of the arena isto be similar to Franconi’s, at Paris. A strong troupe, with a stud of 80 horser, are engaged, and the first performance will take place on the 25: November next. Success to the horses say we. Cuatuam Tuearae.— We take pleasure iarecom- mending our readers, one and all, to visit the Chat ham Theatre to-night—the occasion being the part ing bene fi: of Yankee Hill, as he leaves on Monday for New Orleans. He plays in three of his bee! pieces. Mise Rallia and Miss Partington both give half a de dances of the most finished order. The pantomimisis appear for the last time in the new piece of the Ocean Imp, which has proved so popular and attractive. Dicneask or Emionation.—This year 20,744 emi g ants have arrived at Quebec. Last year 43,699 arrived, Against this year 22 955, The Fair of the American sing Address. Last aight the fair at Niblo’s terminated. The success [of the lustitute gives hope and pleasure to every friend of internal improvement, and esia- blishes beyond dispute the fact, that with zealous and careful attention to the interests of the country, an honorable rivalry can be established which must tend to promote the good of ail, and to advance the cause of civilization with a vigor corresponding to the wants of the nineteenth century. The after- noon was devoted to announcing the premiums awarded to the successfal exhibitors. The stage was considerably enlarge, and on the table in front of the President’s chair, was a pyramid ef choice pears,and several of the products of the garden,such as pumpkins, beets, equashes, &e. The band of the North Carolina was in attendance, and throughout the evening played several national and pleasing airsin excellent style. The managers, with seve- ral gentlemen distinguished for the interest they have taken in urging forward the ceuse of the Insti- tute and American industry, together with several naval officers, occupied the sofas and seats around the President. Though the weather was unfavora- ble, a host of beautiful women filled the galleries and the grand saloon, giving to the whole a happy and spirited grouping Silence having beea ob- tained, the President came forward and delivered the following address:— Lapis ano GentLrMyy We come, fellow citizet niversary of the Ameri to celebratethc sixteenth an- in Institute. The multitudes which have attended the exhibition of the F: and the crowded assemblage now pressing around us are gratity- ing ptedges ol the public epprobation of our eourse, and cheers us onward in support of the great cause “of the eneouragement of domestic industry in agriculture, com- merce, manutactares and the arts.” We, who have per- severed under mach odium and proscription, contess we feel exu'ting pride, that the course and its principles are ultimately recognised as the course of the nation, and asessentialto its enduring prosperity. We rejoice in the accession of indivi iualsof known talents and distinguish- ed character; and while we differin the suggested mode of redress, we confise that further consideration, with a recollection of past incidents, in our diplomacy at least of doubtfal capacity, wiil demonstrate that the great in- terests of agriculture, commerce and; manufactures, are too momentous to be taken and confided to hands other than the Legislative counsels of the nation. From the late census of the UnitedStates it appears that seventy seven out of every one hundred of the population are engaged in agricultural labor Under our tree institutions the ‘ egriculturalists have the power of the representation and are justly chargeeble with the Jegislative measures ofthecountry. Commerce and manulactures ere the handmaids oifegriculture. They arecreated by it, and are dependent upon it for their continued prosperity and existance. All the legislation of this country which can beneficially assist agriculture, can only be inthe en- couragement of commerce and manufactures. Hence protection to commerce and mauutactur-s should ever be considered a measure in support of agriculture. It is the duty of Government to provide and secure an adequate market for the surplus productions of the coun- try. Itcan only be provided by protection to its com- merce, and from the consumption eccasioned by the en- ceuragement of its domestic manufactures. The relative importance of these three great departments of industry, will de made best to appear from tables !ounded on the census of 1940, showing the value of the annual products —of agriculture,$654,397,597; manufactures, $239 636,224° commerce, $79,721,086. Efforts are sometimes made to excite jealousies between agriculturalists and manufac: turers, by the often repeated cry of “ {ree trade.” It af- fc rds much pleasure to the American Iustiiute toavow itself the firm advocate and the uncompromishhg champi- on of Free Trade. To require open ports, and an open commerce with the different nations of the globe, separa ted into difterent countries, divided into governments of various forms aad conflicting interests, and widely difter- ing in degrees of civilization and ocnditions of moral re- stra nt, would be to rquire a chimeraof the madmou's brain, which never did and never can elsewhere exist.— The free trade which the American Institute advocates and maintains, isa commerce and exchange ot produc- tions between civilized nations of equal rights, upon prin- ciples ot equality and fair reciprocity in t Teasure for measure, taking what they give, and giving what theytake. A government which fails to obtain such acommerce, and to protect it by all necessary coun- tervailing measures, fails in an essential purpose for which it was established. In vain did our fathers fight for liberty and independence, if we, their descend- ants, crouch toforeign powers, su! to an unequal in. tercourse with the nations of the earth, slowing them an open intercourse, and a free trade with us; aud they, in return, degrading and depressing our commerce and the value of our ogticuiture, by enormous and prohibitory duties on the great staple productions of this country. ‘There are two kinds of free trade. Each is distinct in its character. The one which we advocate is made equil between the parties—the trade between natiops con- ducted on principles of fair reciprocity in the exchange of the productions of the respective countries. The other kind is free trade on one side only, with restrictions against the commerce and the productious efthe other side, varying from one hundred to five thousand per cent. Until the enactment ot the late tariff, and which is now sought to be repealed, our country has been for many years past under the enjoyment and in the futl experience of this latter kind of foreign freetrade. ‘To understand the causes of the present condition of the country, i seems necessary on this occasion to show the resi this free trade, as affecting the commerce, the agricul ture, the wealth and the prosperity of tbe nation. With Spaip, our commerce is of smal! amount, surrounded and embarrassed as it is with ber restrictions and prohibitions. The imports last year were $13,450,000; exports, $6 800,000, leaving a balance against us of $7,160,000, to be paid in currency. She has long since imposed duties on cotton, prohibitory fn American vegels. The course of this trade is to ship ourco'ton to Cuba, one of her dependen cies, where on touching the island, it is deemed natural- ised,andthen shipped in Spanish vessels tothe mother country as the produce of Cuba. Our country hain. gloriously looked on and seen this encr:fice to our ship- ping ioterest of this carrying trade of the great steple of the south. Our imports from the island of Cuba amount to avout five millious; and she receives in retnrn exports from,us amounting to two millions—leaving a yearly ba lance against us of three millions of dollars to be paid in currency. Most of the imports have been reccived free or on light duties, while our exports are charged with enormeus dutie:—on a barrel of flour $0,50. This is free trade on one 3 and i's advocates ere wonder writing, and ey ph: our currency. Ow extensive and mor One third of our whole foreign commerce is with England and hercolonies The f her trade have been ogainst us for many and have varied in ditterent years from five millions even up to #rxty millions a year. “tthe impor- tation of her manufactures has been received by us upon little more than nominal duties, while duties oppressive and probibitory have been ex: acted on our produce exported toher.

Tobacco in leaf, worth to the producer from three to four cents per pound, is subjected to a duty of three shillings sterling, which is from eighteen hundred to two thousand percent. Ifthe tobacco iw stemmed, then the duty is nine sbillinga ster- ling, which is &ve thousand percent.

The management of the diplomatique relations with Great Brilsio has been still more destruc tive of the interest of the nation than the inequalities of her daties exacted on our commerce. A commercial ar rang+ ment between the two countries was entered lato in 1830, hy which the West India trade was sacrificed. ‘The altimore, 24 Octo- 61” “Informa ‘of (ho opening of the Colonial ports to the trade of the ited States.” On the gf of Novem- ber, 1830, the Brit Poriiaments were informed “Ameri- ca had entirely and unconditionally withdrawn her pre- tentions, ap?

The otj-ot of the schedule wi an encouragement toa supply of the West India Islands by the North American Colonies of Great Britain, in- stead of by the United States of America, or by ony other country!” The comparstive truth of these two state. ments willeufficlently appear from the iaat, thet the Bri tush tonnage entering the United States, in the commerce with the British American coisnies, suddenty rose from about four thousand np to fourbu dred thousand tone.— The commerce of Quebeo has risen \rom near nothing te 419,160 tons. [0 1820 the British tonnage which entered our ports, from ali conatries, »mounted to 87,981 tons —In 1835 it had increased to 629,922 tons—in 1930 the whole amount of foreign tonnage which entered into our porte amounted to 191,900 tons. in 1840 it had increased to 712,268 tons, ‘The increase of British shipping in our ports since 1880 hes raised the rotionearly 670 per ct. Upon these as sill annonnced at PM” ©Glor important event w. ber, 1830, 6 o’cloc tion has been rec e remarkable commestary upon the want of segaci y and foresight in adininistration of our commercial con cerns, and makes a powerful appeal to the consideration of Congress. Th ‘ize of our country is thu: le subsidiary to thi ak se ues, and navigationof the British colonies, and in the e degree 1 to our own, through the policy of our government.” In this famous commercial arrangement of 1830, provisions are ined in the noture of areciprocity treaty, (se called,) ing to place the navigation and commercial inter: course between the two coun upon a condition of equality and reciprocity that is, that neither country shouid make discriminating regulations against the ships or gi afthe other, EF: nd soen Jad duties closing the direct trade between the two countries, in our wheat, flour, yrowisioas, timber, and many other articles, ond taking to herself the monopoly of the carrying tre much of our produce by the way of her colonies, which our negotiators then found were not included inthe reci procity agreement, and that which was bad was made worse. By high duties she prohibits our produce, and then takes the carrying trade of all she wants from the side doors, by touching at apy of her colonies atthe north orthe south. Coffee and West India produce is thus also prohibited by high duties, and then admitted as from her colonies on low duties. Thus thetreaty is observed and evaded. Weare bound by it—sheis not. We have lost the commerce—she hes doubled her’s. Ales, for ied negotiations !! This system of free trade and a judi cious tariff has brought upon the country the late disastrous state of things. For example, look at the fore mepeprt po- loe aon imports jount- 000, upon which we exacted (00, or eleven per cent upon the uggregat me year the exports of home product value to $91,000,000, on which foreign nations imposed duties amounting to $33,000 000, being 124 percent upon the value. Enquiries made have ascer- tained, that ef the heavy importations into this port, eighty-three per cont was avowedly o1 sforeixn account, while of the vesidus, abaut onetall wae nominally imported by commission houses, but actually on foreign account. These measures have driven our ow; chants out of business, aed provided numerous ruptcies. ‘Thie unequal foreign trade almost monopolised, and, in the hands of toreigners, has pushed “Free Trade andthe Credit System” till the bubble has exploded, leaving the country and the States without a currency, end overwhelmed with debt; and, in the revulsion, has broken up business, depressed agriculture, deranged the fiir commerce between nations in their productions, stopped dom manvfactures, and dismissed from em- ployment the home industry of the country, to hola competition with the pauper labor of Eagland. No agriculture, commerce, manufactures or currency, could stand under such inequality in trade. No country can retain its wealth, or maintain its independence, unless it renders the commercial intercourse equal between the twonations by countervailing regulations In looking at the tables of importations, it appears thot during the last twenty years, the average importations of the single article of silk, has amounted in value to ten millions of dollersa year, or two hundred und twenty millions. Thia sum is about equal tothe amount of the indebtedness of the St: Had the culture of silk been ureged, it would have prevented ity for this item of importation and indebted From the information acquired by the recent Silk Convention held in this city, it tne culture of silk can be reasonably encouraged, we pledge ourselves that it will not only sdd a new staple production for the country, but that the labor of the women, and the children, and the aged, and the infirm of our population, applied to t! new pursuit, will not only provide for their own subsit tence, but would yet redeem the States from the impend- ing infamy of repudiation. We proclaim our fixed belief, that there is no spot on this globe, so congenial, and in all things so well adapted to the cultivation and manufaciure ing in value to $127, duties, $14,000, of silk, a8 these United States. Many persons present, will remember when encouragement was asked the culture and manufacture free trade laughed, and a judicious tariff sneered at the possibility of sustaining a competition with England in the manufacture of ¢stton. The result is before us. Domestic cottons supply the demand of the country, and at greatly reduced prices. Its surplus manctactures are sent abroud as an article of commercr, to Iadia, to South America, and to England herself; and is now bringing back in returp, a portion o° the value which wes before shipped abroa dto pay former balances of trade egainst us. Manufactures have well performed their duty to the nation. They have strugeled into life through an infancy surrounded with difficulties and beset with perils —1n the war of 1812 patriotism called them to efforts of premature manhood. The cold neglect which chilled their energies in after times, too truly taught them it sprung from the influence of the egauts of their great rival, whose interests they were invading. They have survived, aud now come showing trom the census of 1840, jue of the annual products from manufactures, 10 $239,83>,224. The whole value of the averag ports is 110 millions.

The manufacturers of New England provide a market for ‘one third of the whole cotton produced in this country, while they receive and consume more flour and grain from the agriculture of New York than was ever shipped abroad from her port ia the best days of her commercial prosperity. ‘The recent purchase of twelve hundred yards of carpeting, for the hail of the House of Representatives, exhibits a case of treetrade. The benefit to the country was te return freight @n four packages in an American vessel, but which most usually comes in a foreign ship — The foreign country, of the manufacture, furnished the wool, labor, and sub-isteace, from its agriculture; and the dyes and materials used were collected from abroad by its commerce. Our currency paid the tills; our agriculture, commerce or labor, found no constimers ur employment in the operation. To have produced even the wool would have required perhaps two thousand acres of land, which would have been diverted from the competition of the production of grain end provisions, already in surplus, and no market [tis estimated that it would requise twenty millions of acres of land to produce the woul needed for our people Yet itis proposed, not to manufecture, but to raise grain and provisions, which Europe will not take from us for her productions, aud all this is from adeclared anxiety not to burthen commerce or agriculture in giving sid to manufastures and home indusiry.

(s it not obvioust conveyance of foreign wool, Jog wood, fustic and coppe- ras, tobe used in is manufacture, effurds more employ- ment to shipping than would that of the broad cloth itself. For instance, take the ‘article of madder, used in this country for the printing of cotton and other faorics, it wili require ten ships to bring the bulky article of madder to printthe same bulk of cottons. When I say t n ships, J put them very low. Then take the article of barilla and other sal's, used for bleaching purposes; it requires ten- fold the bulk and tonnage to bring them that it would to bring the manufactured article.

Then the indigo, and many other articles that could be mentioned. Then comes our coasting trade. How many thousand tons of shipping docs the coast trade employ for our menufsc- tures, which would not pe employed if we did not manu: facture. Asa general thing, it is safeto calculate that it will take 26 tons of shipping to import the raw material to carry on manufactures, to one ten of shipping to import the manufactured article.” It is a curious aud interesting fact, the States rank in the valuation of their wealth ac. cording to their population; and asthey have developed their resources, established manufactures, ployment to their home iabor.

Will we not learn from the practice of Great Britain rather than be taught by her agents— iafiuenced by her sdvice—or led by her lessons to us on political economy?

A partial revival from the depresses condition of the country is now taking place, under the operstions of the recent tu wiul, and it may be useful to leern from our dom, but the necessity for well as the sensibility with which our first step has been feltin Europe.

City Intelligence. Polle Friday, Oct. 27.—Annest or “Puitapeneaia Biu”—Promise or MARRIAGE BETWEEN MIM AND Many Jans Montcomeny.—During the month of Junelata genteelly dressed young man took lodgings at the Frank. In House in this city under the name ot William Shep- pard, endorsing himself as recently from New Orleans, via Philadelpbia. He flourished there for a few days, but was missing one morning, as also a gold watch, valued at $120, that had been stolen fromthe room of Robert Saw- yer, that was adjoining that occupied by Sheppara. A gold and silver watch being immediately efter missed trom the Western Hotel, belongiog toa pedlar from Pio- vidence, R. I., it was also supposed, from the description of the person, that he was same genius that had committed the depredation at the Franklin. Orti- cers Cockelair and Stokely took a trail for the gentleman, and soon iound that he had been paying close attention to the celebrated courtezan Jane Montgomery, better known perhaps as “French Jack’s women,” io whom he had promised marriage, and in the effervescence of his zeal gave her the identical gold watch he had stolen from the Franklin Hotel. She played the mistress with his affection, cast him off as soon as his meens weresecured, pawned the watch jor $26, and owned up the whole affair to the officers. A few days since they rrested the rogue, who it appenrs Is beiter known as “Philadelphia Bill,” alias “Hunt,” aud among the thieves as “Bill the Blower.” Mr. Sawyer heviog Tory, returned from Canadv, identified the gold watch, and the silver lever stolen tiom the pedlar having also been recovered, he has been sent for to claim it, This rogue has for years past been truveiliag trom New Orleans to this city, putting up at the most ta:hion- able hotels, and stealing as opportunity favored.

Peck, on the elleged charge of subormation of perja- ry in inducing the colored barber, Tucker, to perjure him- self in justifying aa bail before the Recorder, will be heard vefore a Board of Magistrates on Mondey at 11 o’clock, at the Lower Police Office. Tre Cuarrers From tur Beus.—In times gone b: when “Oid Hays” was poungand in his prime, the ting magistrate at the Police Otice could summon the whole force im waiting by the sound of his voice; but as rogues, end the population increased, it become the cus- tom fer the magistrates to call attendance by the rap of the “turn stick,”as it wes called,and more recently bells were placed in the officers’ room, with wires attached leading to the magistrates desk, for the same purpere. These bells bave been sources of much disquietude to many of the old veterans, who viowed their coustant tingle-lingle- lings, as not only an annoyance to ears in any i clined to somnific comfort on a warm summe noon, but also as classilying their brief autnority with that of the a'tendants at our fashionable hotels, Several schemes were, therefore,rceorted to to end their tinklings, but to noeffect. Yesterday morning Justice stevens re- sumed his seat, with ail that gravity of character for hich he is noted when on the beach, and having occa- sion for the services of an oflicer, twitched the bell handle, but nota sound answered his «ffort! Another twitchity twitch was given, but brought forth no harmo: nious response; and yet another and another, and stillno tingle-ling wes heard upon his ear. The stentorian lungs of the amiable Judge were then extended, and the oid ‘turn stick” was brought into requisition, when in- stantly the whole posse of police in attendance were assembled before him. “Mr. Clerk,” says the Justice, “hand,me the bible—and now, gentlemen of the police, place your hands upon the book and be sworn.” This Was no sooner said than done, and“ he then contmued, “Now, gentlemen, whet ails those bells—let each and every msn ‘who hes hed a hand in. this transaction tell the truth, the whele trush and nothing but the truth, or suspended heshail be from all future service.” Not a word was said, not a whisper breathed, unvil fthat of “suspension” wasjuttered by the Justice, when spontaneously, 1 ke thecrack of aKentucky rifle, the whole dozen responded, “Judge, Judge, we plead entire innocence of untongueing them bells ‘That's enough, gentlemen,” eaid the Judge, in his emie- ble manner; ** but the whole department shall be sworn tut what I'l find out who it was that thus caused me to ting a fongueless bell four times without an arswer.” A meeting of magistrates was held last evening on this important subject, the proceedings ot which will be given to-morrow. Still the bells are tongneless Coroner's Office.--Friday, October 27.—Suicie or a W:re.—The wite ofi{Thomas G Hodgkias, contectioner, of 49 Courtland etreet, committed suicide on Thursdey, under the following circumstances, For some time past she had been addicted to the free use of intoxicating drinks end laudanum, and on Monday last took #uch & quantity of the latter that she laid ina state of stupor uearly sll day. Her husband then forbid the servants {rom purchasing laudanum for her use, aad alsc cautior «d them to watch ber if they saw her goout. On Thurs: day morning she evdeavored to persuade the servant to obrsin some landanum for her, but being unsuccessfal, went out herse!f and purchased six cents worth at the drug store of Dr. Burger, representing that she had a se vere tooth ache, and to ceafirm the statement also obtain- ed some cotton which she said she wished te put in her The servant immediately gave information to Mr. Hodgkins, who started in pursuit of her, but before he found her she had swallowed about half the contents of the je immediately induced ber to return home and says he administered some tartar emetic to make her throw up the leudanum. She remained in a state of stu por until 3 o'clock in the afternoon when she died. The Corenor wes called in to hold an inquest on the body. A post mortem examination held, but the physicians Present diffured as to the immediate cause of her death, one thinking that the laudanum she kad teken was suffi- cient to cause death, and the other that it was not, but that she had ‘died (rom the effect of the Jiqourand lau- danum combined. With this disagreement among the La hep the coroner’s jury returned a verdict that Emma Hodgkins came to her death by admiaistering to herself on excessive quantity of ardent epirits and laude- num.

Beach, and that from April to this day he has not accounted to her for a single cent. Jones, the auctioneer, With the-excep tion of $10 paid on the day of saleto Mrs. Ward,the entire nett proceeds amounted to $843 24. The Court in charg ing, observed, that the transaction was one of a most strange and suspicious character. That the fact of the defendant having failed to show any reasonable couse tor yermitting the furniture to remain on the premises sfter the death of the debtor, was in the eye of the law suffi: cient to stamp the bill of sale with a fraudulent design. It was useless to atippose that humanity or benevolence was the motive which ectuated the defendant. Such might have been the case while the husbend wasen his dying bed, but the nongemoval, or exercise of ownership over the property for nearly a year after the death of the Doc- tor, was damning proof that the bill of sale was a iraud, and only used to screen the property of the deceased trom the rest of the creditors for the ¢ole benefit of the defendant On this point the charge was clear and decisive against thedefendant. Again,as:cogards the hill for advertising, the case was altogether uaexplained. Doctor Ward came to this city an insolvent, and the de- tendont actually supplied him with coal at several periods, 80 very low were the circumstances of the Doctor. Yet with this knowledge, Mr. ach, without taking any guarantee, mortgage, or security en in the form of a written acknowledgment, allows ingolvent to become hisdebtor to the amount cf over $4.600 for advertising patent mediaines in bis daily paper. Was such a thing pore and does it not require some explanation? Again, Beach loans him money, not ingsmall amounts, but by hundreds—releases a mortgage of some hundreds more, yet has nothing to thow for it. but the parole statement of 4 Withers present when a vague declaration was made by the creditor before his death. This was not the ordinary way in which aman of business, of common discretion, would act, and the statement made by the defendant on this point, must be mest cautiously received by a jury The chief joint for the jury to determine was how much ol the property je deceased, at the time of his death, had been made away with by tl! lendant. To fix thie, he thought the beet and safest way to toke the testi mony of Mr, Jones, the auctionerr, ns to the nett proceeds of thesale, deducting whatever they thought reasonab'e jow, for the subsequent property put into the honse hy the wile, and sold at the same time; this would give the amount to which, if the jury fowod for the plaintiff, he would be entitled to recover. “ihe jury after some delay came into Court, and requested to be informed on the law agto the son removal of the furniture, The Court de cided that this was fatal tothe defendants cause inthe eye of the law, independent of the other stro) 1g points, which bear the stamp of frand, or culpable went ence. After a short delit oration, the jory returned a verdict for the plaintift for toe til amountel the nett proceeds of the sale, deducting $175 for the furniture purchased by the wile of the decensed, leaving a balance of $663 94 dama- se ont geen costs, avid Graham.

Sguection or Govexnor ov N. Jensey.—Daniel Haines, Exq., of Sussex, bas received the democra- tic nomination for the office of Governor of New Jersey forthe ensuing year. His principal opponent in the caucus was James 8. Green, (Tyler man,) of Princeton, who at one ballot received 21 votes—24 being necessary for achoice. After this ballot Hon. Peter D. Vroom was unanimously nominated by the caucus, but he declined. The joint batlot in the Legislature was to take place yesterday, and Mr. Haines is doubtlessere this elected. The corres- pondent of the Newark Daily Advertiser saye:— Mr. Haines is well koown as a worthy and re- spectable member of the bar in Sussex county. He has once or twice represented that county in the lative council, which is, I believe, the amount service i lie life. The appointment, po- lites le, is altogether unexceptionable, though some aay think the incumbent rather young and inexperienced for the weolsack.

Macready played Werner last evening at the Chestnut, to a crowded house. There is but one opinion upon the subject of the performance of the part, and that is of unqualified praize. It wae en- acted with the most thrilling effect. I believe if a repetition of the character could be had during his engagement the house would hardly contain the numbers that would crowd to see it. What say you, Mr. Manager Marshall, will the tragedy be re- peated? Charlotte and Susan Cushman ably sus- tained Macready. Forrest played Jack Cade at the National, the house being, as usual, full to overflow- ing. To-mght we have our National Tragedian as Hamlet, and the community are on the tip- toe to witness his performance ot the part 89 soon after Macready. Of course the bouse will be crowded. i To-morrow night,(Saturday,) we have Richelieu at both houses, at the Chesnut by Macready, and at the National by Forrest. I will look in at both houses, gathering up the opinions of people, observe clozely myself, and report. On Monday Forrest opens at the Park Theatre in your city.
