NEW YORK HERALD. a New York, Saturday, November 11, 1843. Wanted, A copy of the famous Bull, denouncing the colored social system of the United States, allud ed to by Daniel O'Connell in his recent letter to the Repeal Association of Cincinnati. This Bull was issued from the Vatican by his Holiness the Pope in 1840, and priated at the Urban College ino Rome. If Bishop Hughes will send us a copy, we will be much obliged to him. Webster's Speech Andover.—Hiy Posit! fined, Owing to the arrangements made at Andover on Thursday last, we didnot receive the report of the speech of Mr. Webster yesterday, as we had some Teasen toexpeot. It appears that, at the leaving of the cars for Boston, to unite with the train there, Mr. Webster had proceeded only a little way with hie speech—he had got as far as a sort of exordium, of little force or purpose. In one of the Wall street Papers of yesterday there was a meagre and bun- gling outline of this commencement, published, un- der the name ot a speech, which some of the papers | in that region may re-publish this morning; but this piece of balderdash, though very befitting these pa pers, would not suit {the fullness and accuracy of the Herald. We shall probably receive our report this morning, and if so, it will be published in the evening edition, and also in the Sunday Herald of to-morrow morning. With respect to the speech itself, we leart pn- vately that it is a most triumphant solution of the question put last year by Mr. Webster in Faneuil Hall—“where shall Igo?” From this speech we learn that Mr. Webster is exactly half way between the Tyler party and the whigs, struggling like a Strong man in a morass, with all his might, to secure the game he has bagged inthe ecramble during the last two yeare. Seriously, this speech is said to be one of the tamest—most pointless—and weakest that ever came from sucha giant in intellect. It is aymere cold dish ot chowder warmed up after it had stood a meh behind a rock on the sea shore of Marsh- eid. This speech will no doubt be a crisis in the life of Mr. Webster, and produce some curious results at Wachington and Patchogue. We do not expect now to see any of these meteors on the 13:h No- vember—no—not one. The autumn is at hand--the sere and yellow leaves ure falling—the sun is decli- niog fast—the chowder is getting cold—Mr. Web- ster 1s in a fix—the whig party are in trouble—and worse than all, the new party in New York is just rising hke a new eun in a new summer, and will throw every thing else into obscurity in Jess than six months. Tur Srrsets—Reronm—tne American Pepus- ican Party.—The streets have never been in a more filthy and disgraceful condition than they are at this present time. Change the city administre- tion as you will, the streets stil! remain the same. Under the whigs it was filth and dirt—and the con- tract system was no improvement. Uader the loco- focos it is dirt and filth, and the abolition of the contract scheme produces no change for the better. We change our parties, and change our schemes, but we keep all the filth and dirt the same as before. But we do not despair. Both whigs and locotocos have sacrificed the cleanliness of the city either to their avarice, or to their truckling spirit of office- seeking and office-keeping. There is hope,however, in the future. We have tried the whigs and they have failed. We have tried the locofocos and they have failed. Let us now try the Native American party. What are their measures to be? Will they go in for genuine reform? Will they reform the police so as to give safety to the persons, and secu- rity to the property of our citizens? Will they or- ganise a fire department that shall reduce the rate of insurance aguinst fice? Will they establish a system of street cleaning whose object shall be to clean the streets and not to buy votes for the party? ‘Will they adopt a system of financial retrenchment that shall diminish our taxes? If these questions can all be satisfactorily answered, then we can ne- sure them that they can elect their ticket at the next charter election. Deatu or Cou. Joun Trumsutt. —This venera‘ ble man, and distinguished painter, died yesterday morning in this city, in the 87th year of his age — Toe name of Col. Trumbull has, for half a century been as familiar to Americans, as household relics. Multitudes will mourn his decease. Col. Trumbull was a soldier of the revolution— served with his regiment in the field—and after- wards became a member of Gen. Washington's military family. Col. Trumbull was also an artist. By his histor rical pictures alone in the Capitol, he has forever united his fame with that of the great period and events which he has commemorated. After the re- volution, he went to Europe to perfect himself in his favorite art of painting, having it always at heari; to perpetuate on the breathing canvass some of the great scenes and some of the great men of the revolution, among which and whom he lived. While in England he became, by the choice of Wm. Pinckney and Christopher Gore, the filth Commissioner under the Jay treaty, for the settle- ment of American claims upon England; and holding as he did the determining vote on all con- tested cases, he was so fortunate as to acquire the entire respect and confidence of both parties by the strictand honorable impartiality and justice of his decisions. In his personal character and intercourse, Col. Trumbull had all the polish and amenity ot a high- bred gentleman, with all the forbearance and con- sideration for others which go far to make up that character. Col. T umbull, as a eolJier, an artist, a diplomat ist, and a Christian gentleman, was, through many generations, honored and respected in life, to be honored and lamented ia death. He has died at a ripe old age, and left not an ene- my behind. Orv Tecumsea —Colonel Johason arrived in Princeton from Flemington, at 8 o'clock on Wed- needay evening. He was met at the cars by the committee from Princeton, and escorted from tnat place, at 8o’clock on Thursday morning, to Free- hold, Monmouth county, by Captain Cumming: Princeton Light Horse. He was received at Mr. Thompson’s Washington House, in Freehold. He left Freehold yesterday morning at half past five o’clock for Highstown, from which place he proceeded at 9 o’clock to Philadelphia. He was escorted from Freehold by Mesers. Smith aad Jones. Captain Cummings’ Light Horse did themselves great credit in their manq@avree, and deserve much praise. We believe several of Captain Stockton’s brothers are in this troop. Col. Johnson is pretty well jaded down. Tue Paesipent —Mr. Tyler lett Washington on Thursday morning for hie estate in Charles City county, Virginia. He will remain there about a week, when he will agaia retura to the seat of Go- vernment for the winter. Ye.uow Faver in Sovrn America.—Letters da- ted at Payia, Aug. 12, state that whale ships had not called.on that part of the coast for the last six Months in the usual number, in consequence of the yellow fever having prevailed in Tumbez. Late ac- counts from there were more favorable, and it wee expected that withina month a free intercourse would be restored ———__.

In addi- tion to what is there seen, it is to be borne in mind, that the democrats have elected seven of the eight senators to be sent up this year. This majority is too large for any party to have. The nearer parties are balanced the better it is for the State and coun- try. They do mischief enough when within the control of each other. New Your Exsction. Majority 1843. Assemh: Majority 184%.

In fact, the only protection of much force or influence, is in the publications through the public press; as, forinstance, that made yesterday morning in the Herald, giving a dis- cription of stolen property recovered, led to the disclosure of no less than ten burglaries that had been committed within the past month, by the two colored rogues, Alexander Wray and John Smith, who were arrested by the patrol police on Thursday night. These midnight prowlers that infest eur city, have recently resorted to most desperate means to ac- complish their depredations, in anticipation of the course adopted by many citizens of arming them- seives with pistols for the protection of their dwel- lings. An instance was repeated to us yesterday, that shows in strong relief the bold and daring character of a gang whom we believe are as yet unknown to the police of our city. Oa Tuesday aight, between the hours of 11 and 12 o'clock, the cabin of the schooner,Hydasby, of Thomastown, lying at pier No. 3, East river, was entered by two men armed with pistols and Bowie knives. Captain and three men were asleep in the cabin, and as soon as the robbers entered, they demanded The money, and threatened to shoot or kill the first man who moved out of hi:berth. One ofthe men made an attempt, and was instantly stabbed in his thigh. From the threats the others remained quiet, and the cabin was thoroughly searched by the rogues, as well as the clothes of the persons on board. The Captain, notwithstanding his fright, had presence of mind sufficient to take a pocket book trom hispocket containing several huadred dollars, andplace itia his stocking, by which means it escaped the vigilanceof the rogues. They broke open several trunks and stole a quantity of clothing, and then left the vessel. She sailed the next morning about daylight for Boston, and the Oaptain related the circumstances to Henry Zoble,fia Hurl Gate pilot, who took the vessel up the Sound. Artemprep Soicipg 1n Tue Ciry Prison.—Yes- terday morning, a man named John Linden, who was tried in the court of ‘Seneral Sessions, on Thureday, for grand larceny, in stealing a watch and $20 from John Farren, and convicted and sen- tenced to the State prison for two years, attempted to commit suicide, by cutting hia throat with a razor that he had secreted evideatly for that pur- pose. The prisoners who were confined in the cell with him, immediately gave the alarm, and pre- vented him from doing any further injury. Dr. Me- Creedy, the physician of he prisen, was immediate- ly sent for, and on examination of the wound, tound that the windpipe was cut nearly three- fourths in twain, alee dividing the sterno cleido mas. toid muscle. A note was found in his pocket, stat- ing that he was induced to commit suicide, solely because he was innocent of the offence for which he was convicted. He may possibly recover, al- though hie case is doubtful. He was nearly speech- less last evening, and wrote the followiog note, which he gave to the doctor “Put me ina warm Lorry am getting stiff 1 am in- nocent ofthis crime. Nothin wade me do this act But my wife aud chiluren parting them.” Tus Sea Race.—The great race between the pi- lot boat Washington and yacht Gimcrack takes place to-day. They are to eail from the floating light ship to Castle Garden—the Gimcrack to have two miles start. The Washington is one of our fastest piloteers. She is 87 tone; the Gimerack 28 tons. This rece will be well worth seeing. Thesteamer Hercules will leave Whitehall this morning at 11 A. M., to go down with a ship; after leaving her will proceed down the Bay to view the race. The Staten Island ferry boat willalso furnish a good view of the race by leaving at 9, 11, 2 and 34 P.M. Let all whocan, go and see it. Accipent.— The Cieopatra trom Norwich, rua into two canal boats yesterday morning off Caatle Garden. They were towed to the foot of Broad street, with cargoes badly damaged. Tuurspay 11 30ra inst —Toie will be a selemn and momentous day to the turkies in New Hamp- shire, Massachusetts, Rhode Island, Michigan, and several other Siates in this happy Uaion, which will on that day celebrate their annual festival of rejoic- ing and thanksgiving. Bostox Suirrixo List —This isa valuable publi- cation, and oughtto be patronised by every mer- chant. More Rattroaps in New Enouanp.—IJt is stated that the Vermont Legielature have granted an un- conditionel charter to the Brattleboro and Fitchburg Railroad. Jt would seem from this that common roads are to be entirely abolished in that section of the country. Tue Democratic Revizw for November, comes tous richly freighted with literary spoils, and bears ample testimony to the high standard of literary ex- cellence which has always characterized this valua- ble periodical. Brownson no longer figures on its pages; yet we are more than compensated by the varied and interesting melange, which must be doubtless far more acceptable to tie million than abetract diequisitions on metaphysics. Among the best papers ofthe pumber we weuld call attention to Major Davezac’s artistic essay on Froiseart, New Eugland Supernaturalism by Whattier, the sketch of Mozart, and some beautiful lines by Simms; not forgetting, however, another group of the Loose Leaves of a Literary Loun; about curious and costly books, full of interest to every one, and to the lover of bookea delicious repast of the rarest daintiet The Card Players, designed by Darley, acompanied oy a letter-press description by J: s*ph Neal, embel- ishes the number. The publishers (the Langleys) merit the widest popularity for this deserving and most acceptable American periodical. Santence or Mixe Watsu.—This person was Recorder Tallmadge and Alderman Tillou and Martin presiding, tor sentence on the libels publish- ed in “ The Subterranean,” en which he has been convicted. He appeared very genteelly dressed, with the addition of @ ruffle to his shirt of large di- mensions. On being asked what he had to say why sentence should not be imposed upon him, he re- plied :— “Thi t deal to sey, but I believe Ill w netioaadepeatnn 7b lee 1 pone The Recorder then, after a tew remarks relative to the corruption of certain portions of our public press, and their wanton and malicious attacks upon private and public citizens, a full report of which will be found under the head of General Sessions, proceeded to pass sentence as follows: For the libel on John 8. Magnus, a fine of $25. For the libel on Levi D. Slamm, the editor of the Plebeian, a fine of $100. For the assault and battery on A. D. Millard, at the Nomination Election of the Democratic party in the Ninth Ward, a fine of $50. For the libel on Jacob Southard, the cooper, of Washi»gion Market, which the Recorder sta- ted was not only malicious, but entirely unjusti- fied, he was sentenced to the Penitentiary at Blackwell's Island for two months. He was taken an charge by an officer and ordered to stand com- mitted after the sentence had expired until the se- veral fines were paid. He is now in the City Pri- son, where he will remain until next week. In an after interview with Walsh, we are inform- ed that he was found not 20 much disposed to cavi) at the sentence of the Court, as at the manner in which he had been selected an a victim, while others, whose offences ia the publication of libels, contrasted with which his would have been harm- Jeas, walk unscathed and “ unwhipped of public justice.” The imposition of imprisonment in the penitentiary, he considers severe indeed, and with one 60 young, possessing so much talent, however ‘misapplied, and withal so many good points inter- mingled with errors, it certainly is to be regretted In allusion to its imporition, he remarked, that such punishment would have become one who had been actuated by motives of gain or emo.ument in the publication of the libels, but that in all he had said and done his motive was defence alone, from pre. vious attacks that had been made upon his charac- ter as a politician or a man. That the Recorder well knew that money, with all its temptatioas, had never indueed him to commit an act of wrong, even when poverty was staring him in the face ; and, therefore, sach a sentence should not be im- posed upon him for such an offence. That he had devoted his time, his laoor and his money to advance and elevate men to public stations of honor and profit, some of whom have been taken by him from the depths of poverty and want, who now, and re- cently in his difficuliies, were not to be found sus- taining him ; but at the same time it was a gralifi- cation to find those on whom he had noclaim, or no night to expect favor, stepping forward in his sup port. He spoke of his paper as on the eve of suc- cess, through which means he could heréafter ob- tain a sujport, and also of the attempts to suppress and destroy it, wita himself That his little means had been expended in endeavoring to buildit up, and then, with agood natured smile, said, here 1 am, with but eighteen pence in the world to bless myself with.” That Waleh has talent, none will deny who know him—that he‘h«s striking traits of character, exhibiting a desire tobe admired, all must admit, and that his course in defence of his publications, contrasted with that of Beach, and Townsend, and Brooke, whoeneakingly crawled into court and en- tereda plea of guilty to an unmanly, unjustified, brutal, gross and beastly attack upon innocent wo- men and children, has shown him tobe a man pos- sessing attributes that place him far above these public defamers. We sympathise with himin his present posiiion, as we believe a large portion of the community do, and had he followed other ad- vice, and listened to the dictates of other counsels, instead of being on his way to the penitentiary, he might have truly been an ornament to his coun- try, and triumphanily elected to the councils of the nation. His talent has, however, been turned into awrong channel, and many of his advisers have been creatures whose objects alone were their own advancement, without regard to the means or isjury to him by which it, was produced. His case pre- sentr,a most singular misapplication of real talent— he has been seduced in many instances from a cor- rect path of duty, by a set of brawlers and pot house politicians, who have led him astray by false repre- seatations, in order to serve their own ends and make him the instrument of the accomplishment of abuse of some individual, against whom they de- sired to gratify a selfish or revengeful purpose. Such has often been the case, and he alone has been the sufferer. New Yorx Lyceum Lacturgs.—The fifth annual course of lectures of this institution will be deliver- edin Broadway Tabernacle on Wednesday eve- ning of each week, at half past7 o’clock. The in- troductory lecture will be delivered next Wednes- day evening, the 15ch inst. by the Hon. A. B. Has brouck, President of Rutger’s College, N. Y. There will be some twelve or fifteen lectures in all, by gentlemen of learning and distinction; among whom are Nicholas Biddle, Eeq., of Andalusia; Dr. Bacon, of New Haven; Alexander H. Everett,Esq , and others of equal celebrity. Max Bonrgr’s Coxcert.—This gentleman, who is without an equal on the violincello, is about to take his departure for Havana and Mexico. Pre- viously, however, he will give one farewell concert, and one only, next Monday evening, at Washing ton Hall. He will be assisted by Madame Sutton, Signor Antognini,Mr. Scherfenburg,and Mr. Timm. As this may be the last time the citizens of New York willever have an opportunity of hearing thie great master upon the violincello, we call particu- lar attention to his concert next Monday, and ad- vise all, if there are any who kave not yet heard him, te go without fail. We can assure them they will be astoniehed and delighted to hear the won- derful tones which can be drawn from so large an inetrument. Hia performance of the new and ori- ginal variations of Yankee Doodle, are alone worth ten times the price of a ticket to hear. It will be long before we thall hear his like again. Mr. Dempster has been laid up for some time with fever, at Burlington, N. J ; but we are pleased to learn that he is new recovering. Me. Watiace.—This great violinist and pianist, is now on a vieit to Waehington and a few other towns. He will shortly return to Baltimore. Cuatnam Tueatre.—W. F. Woon’s Benerit.— We are glad to see that the Chatham bills an- nounce the benefit of this worthy actor tonight Mr. Wood is a brother-in-law of the great Ducrow, and co-equal with him asa serio-pantomimic and melo-dramatic performer. He for many years gratified the New York public by his efforts to please, and now, having been singularly unfortu- nate in his health, he makes a double appeal for sup- port. The following members of the profession, it seems, have volunteered theirservices in his behalf: Mr. H. P. Grattan, Mr. Lenox, Yankee Hill, Mas- ter Diamond, Messrs. Smith and Chambers, M’lle. Yates, and Miss Walters. Mr. Wood and his son will also appear in the beautiful drama of Valentine and Orson. Nava —The U. 8. ship Dale arrived yesterday from Philadelphia. She sailed thence last Fridey, and came out of the Capes of the Delaware on the a‘ternoon of the 6.h, since which period she bre experienced strong gales from the N. W. The Dale has only forty men and five boys on board, ¢x clusive of offices, two-thirds of her crew having never before seen salt water. Lut or Orricens.—Lieut.

(Correspondence of the Herald.) ‘Wasuuneton, Nov. 8, 1848, Dear Sra:— The statements which have been made through the press, in regard to the defection of President Houston of Texas, are likely to be confirmed in every important particular. Private letters have been received in this city from Gen. Murphy, our chargé des affaires, which establish the fact that co- pies of Houston’s correspondence are in his hands, containing the whole scheme of infamy and trea- chery by which the people and goverament of his adopted country were to be betrayed intothe hancs of their worst enemies. The effect of this develop. ment is calculated to produce a reaction in the United Statesin behalf of Texas, which may even- tuate in establishing a closer connection hetween the two countries. ~The approaches which England is making in order to secure a footing in Texas, makes it of great importance to southern interests especially, that some soy prompt and decided ac- should be taken by coarse to paralyze these insidious movements. The ih policy seems to aim at heaming us in at all points on our own con- tinent, and to accomplish this, she adopts the pro- tession of enlightened sympathy and philanthropy, whilst her own millions of slaves are crying out for charity to all christendom Her Canadian pro vinces are supported at an immense expendiure 'o sustain @ position on our North Eastern boundary. Standing armies are retained in the West Indies, prepared for all emergenc Agents for observation and inepection are kept ¢ tinually on our coast; her keen bi he and sharp ape- tite are on the alert tor every inch of advantageous ground that increases her power on our borders. With all these facts, and her recent overtures to wards Texas, it behooves our government to be eqnally decisive in thwarting these dangerous schemes. All these active movements mean some- thing more than pure disinterestednees for the bene- fit of humanity; at least, they warn us to adopt those prudent preparations at home, which England i= everywhere strengthening herself with abroad. 1 have no doubr the Texian question will be intro- duced betore Congress in the Message, and that it will form @ most essential and interesting part of the legislation of the next session, = In the matter of politics, everything is calm for the moment; an important crisis has arrived which the result in New York is to determine. Until it is heard from, no indication can be given of the course which may be marked out for the future. The knowing ones hold their breath, be- speaking the deep interest felt for the intelligence. Cy Intelligence. Police.---Frivar, Nov. 10,—A Drsrenate Rurvyian Convict.—A iew weeks since, officer Wm. H. Stephens received information from Philadelphia of the escape of ed Philip, alias Richard Boon, from whiie they were tuking him to Moy- amensing prison, where he had been sentenced for three years. Ou Thursday night, officers Stephens and Watts spied him inthe street and gave chase, but he eludud their pursuit, after hi hrough several streets, but was found hid under a door-step in Read street. He here broke away, and they chased him intoa yard leading ‘rom @ houss on Hudson street, when he entered the premises, which wasa jewellers shop, and threw him- seif out of the window, hanging by one hand. The then attempted to secure him, when he drew a small bowie knite from a belt around his body and attempted to sta? them with it, but he was finally overpowered and jodged in the City Prison to await the requisition of the Governor of Pennsylvania.

Dr. E. R. Belcher, was called in to examine the knee after the boy had been taken sick, but the i rew worse and severe inflammation caused his death on Wednesday last. The Coroner was called in to investigate the circum. stances, when the above facts were elicited, and the jury returned as a verdict “ That the said George W Cook came to his death by inflsmmation—the r. sult of an in- jury—but whether the suid injury was received acciden- tally or wilfully the jury can ot determine.” Rather @ strange verdict, when the names of the boys who injured him were known and given in the testimony tothe jury Why were they notsent ofter?

A fine harvest tor the doc- tors, you would say, nut unfortunately forithem, most of those attacked bythe disease are persons in bad condition, who become charity patients. Thia circumstance will explain what appears to stran- gers in New Orleans, a very strange thing, thatour doc tors are the pyorest and worst supported of any commu- nity in the United States.

In no city of the Union, is greater respect paid to the dead, and more becom: ind proper ceremonies observed ou tunerel occasionsthan in N. Orleans. The large pree ponderance of Catholicism in our population will always protect us from any levity or indifference in these mat- ters, Speaking of the Catholics reminds me of a [ocd com- motion in the congregation of the Cathedral of St. Louis, which is of a most deeply Interesting character, con cerning the very vitals of the Catholic power in this tate end country. Thequarrel is enold one; it was sup- for a while,but the desth ofthe Curé, bywhom the differences had been compromise’, has kindled anew the fire of religious distention. This difficulty has grown out of an assertion ot the Bishop, of an absolute, exclusive power of selecting and appointing their priests and cu- rate. The Marguilliers, or Church Wardens, claim a veto on the Bishop’s appointment, if it does not suit them, For instance, they object to the jintment of foreign- ers and entire strangers. The dens are the most powerful men in the city, and the Bishop, with all his firmness and talent, has no chance with them ina roueh roll and tum! ‘The Wardens, too, are supported by the parishoners by immense majoritivs. A very large and excited popular meeting was beld on this subject at the 4t.

She willbe anchored off Walnut street early next week, and continue there tor several days, Captain S., in the most gentleman ly manner, intending to provide a conveyance gra- tuitously, by means of one of the ferry steamboats vlying {rom Walnut street wharf.

The Newmarket Fire Company of Baltimore ar- rived this afternoon from a visit to your city, and were received at the landing by a large body of fire- men and citizens. The fire companies assembled tormed an escort processioa, and proceeded through the different streets, making quite an imposing dis- vlay. The Baltimore Company are a five looking set of men, and I am told are quite efficient in bat- ‘ling with the destroying element. There were se- veral bands of music accompanying the parade. Madame Castellan will give her farewell concert co-night at the Musical Fund Hall, singing some of her most delighttul airs. ‘The bills say this will be the last opportunity our foe will have of listening ‘o her duleet etraing. ‘emay salely anticipate a erowded room. f There has been another change of weather since my last ; about 10 o’cleck last evening it clouded over, and there was a slight sprinkle ot snow ; it soon, however, turned to rain, which coutiaued during the night.

An lsat of a serious nature occurred at the wharf, above Arch street, yesterday, by which a porter named James Menow, had his arm fractur ed,and was otherwise hurt.
