W YORK HERALD ber 13, 1843. NE New York, Monday, N To our Readers. AnExraa Heracy on Surpcement, containing the speech of Daniel Webster, at Andover, will be served gratis by our newsmen to the regular city readers this morning. We have been compelled to this measure by the extraordinary pressure of busi- ness advertisements in our columns. The New Party—The Revolution in Prospect. Now that the recent important election is over, and the returns have been received from the va- rious parts of the State, we perceive that the new party, whose unexpected success astonished every- body, are again in the field, organized at all points, and resolute in their determination to commence en agitation which ma! perly conducted, terminate ina political revolution througiout the broad Union. We find the follow- ing anoouncements for a meeting of the Committee on this evening, and one of the Association on Wednesday next:— Qc Ana*journed meeting of the American Republi- 1 be held on Mon- can General Executive Committ day evening next, Nov. 13th, a DANIEL Jonx B. Dennis, Secretary. bo’cloek. By order, ‘TIEMAN, Chairman. Am tie will be hel Wednesday evening next at Tho'clock. The Fin’ and Vigilance Committees, as also ali the member requested to be present. By order, J BAKEWELL, President. Cranes Miucixen, Secretary. ‘Thus far, well. measure that will command the attention, not only of this city, but of the whole country. duct their cause with ficmness, prudence and dis cretion—if they preceed with a uniform and en- lightened regard to the present state of the country, —if they be willing to avail themselves of the very reasonable diagust at present entertained by the great mass of the people, for both political parties, and turn it into a proper direction, they have now an opportunity of commencing and conducting to a successful termination, an agitation which will pro- duce the happiest revolution that ever took place in any couatry. It is very evident from the last election in this State, that there never was a better opportuaity tocommence acomplete moral and po- litical revolution than that presented at the present moment. So disgusted have the people become with both parties—the corruption of both parties— the treachery of both parties—the utter worthless- ness and folly of both parties, that nearly one-third, or probably upwards of one hundred and fifty thou- sand voters kept aloof from the polls at the late elec- tion. Throughout the whole State this sentiment of disgust prevailed an extent well calculated to sans of both factions, but it had not proceeded 80 far as to construct any new organization—to em. body itself—as we have seen in this city. Here, from the density of the population, and the conse- quent rapidity with which thought circulates, and mind communicates with mind, the same feeling of disgust has been able in a few months to orga nize a new party, which has astonished both the old rotten factions, and erected itself into distinct and prominent existence with a constituency of nearly ten thousand, at the very firet blow. If this great association of independentelectors will proceed with the same unity cf purpose—the same moral design— the same patriotic feelings, which have thus far characterized them, there cannot be a doubt but they will effect a revolution, and produce results whose inflrence for good will be felt throughout many generations. to As with ali great movements, 0 with this—every thinge depends on the character of the first measures adopted—the general line of policy fi-st pursued — The American Republicans have called a meeting of the General Committee to-night, and a meeting of the General Associition on the evening of Wednesday. What do these bodies—the repre? sentatives of the great mass—interd todo? What are their measures ?—theirpolicy? What isthe ne- ture of the agitation they intend to organize, and how do they design to conduct it? In the first place, we advise the American Repub- licans to open the doors of their commit'ee rooms and associations, t» the representatives of the press. ‘We shall send our reporters to the meetings both of the committee and the association, with written re- quests for ad nission, for the purpose of reporting their proceedings and debates, and thus presenting their views, principles and measures in the most au- thentic form to the people of the Union. It must be very evident to the American Republicans that acme new plan of action, adapted to the present state of so- ciety must be adopted, if they expect to succeed in Tevolutionizing the country. The secrecy—the darkness—the solemn concealment which have ef- fectually hid all the proceedings of the old factions, have contributed more, perhaps, than any other cause to create that universal and unconquerable feeling of disgust which now animates the people. And ithas been in these secret conclaves—these hole-and-corner meetings of committees, and con- ventions, that the immorality, the corruption, the gross fraud upon the public at large, have had their birth-place. These have been the sources of those polluting streams which have spreed all the vices of unprincipled and selfish partizanship over tne whole land, and well nigh threatened the very existence of our institutions. Let the Am: rican Republicans act the very opposite of allthis. Let ail their proceedings be as open as day. Letthe sun shine upon all their doings. Let the press have free access to all their meetings, so that it may promulzate their views and move- ments from one extremity of the Union to the other. The advantage of adopting sucha course is very apparent, if we look around us to other coun'ries. That extraordinary movement,which has united the people of Ireland, as one man, against the British government, was produced as much by the mode of tactics adopted by the Repeal Association of Dub- lin, as by any other cause were, open house met, and reporters attended from the Dublin and London newspapers. Tne association thus spoke to the whole couatry. Pablic attention wes never permitted to flog, and in this waya general central organization was eflected, to which all the provincial movements were auxiliary, and from which they were constantly receiving a stimulus to increased activity. The same causes will produce the same results on this side of the water. Secresy in great political movements, now-a-days, is the bane of all purity and euccess. Let the American Republican party in this city meet periodically— weekly or month'y—at they see fit. Let them ex- pose openly the corruptions and follies of both par- ties, as exhibited in Congress, in the State Legis- lature, and in the Corporation. Let them promul- gate their opinions throughout the country by means of the press, and in less than six calendar monthe we shall see the results in a revolution, whose bear- ings will be felt from Maine to Florida. There never was, we repeat, a more euspicious time for a great, intellectual, comprehensive move- ment than the present. The whole country is die gusted with both parties. with the eternal tarifl discussions about nothing— Mere splitting of hairs and verbal controversies.— The question of Bank or no Bank is obsolete, and can never be rev.ved. All the other questions agi- tated by the leaders of the two parties are of nosor! of moment—no practical value or interest to the people. They are merely convenient instruments whereby the leadersof the factions emuse, and eg - tate, and divide the people, {or the purpose of hood. winking “hem, whilet they themselves cecure the spoile.

Foreign Interference—The Famous Bull of the Pope of Rome against the Social In- stitutions of the South! It will be recollected that in the very remarkable letier written by Daniel O'Connell, in the name of thy Dublin Repeal Association, and addressed to the Repeal Association at Cincinnati, reference was mace to the Bull or“ al'ocution” of the present Pope, denunciatory ot the institutions of the South. By this document Mr. O’Connell sought to augment, with all the solemnity and effect of the highest ec- el ‘ical authority, the violence and severity with which he assailed the institutions of this coun- try. The document had been very carefully con- cealed in this country, but the allusion in O’Con- nell’s letter has given every possible publicity to its existence, and it need hardly be added, excited the keenest interest in the public mind here. We have received from the highest source in this city, an ori- ginal copy <f this famous document, printed at Rome by authority, and dated ‘* 1840." We annex accpy of the Bull, and also a translation executed with great accuracy and fidelity:— SANCTISSIMI DOMINI NOSTRI GREGORII DIVINA PROVIDENTIA Parag XVI.

There were, it is true, from time to time, we say it to our at reat sorrow, some of the very number of the Faithful, who shamefully blinded by the desireof filthy lucre, did not hesitate to reduce to Slevery, in widely rated and remote Lends, Indians, Blacks, or other wretched in- dividuals, or else by establishing and gradually enlarging a traffic m those, who had been made captives by others, to countenance the shameful conduct of these last. Many Romen Pontifls, it istrue, of glorious memory, Pre decessors of Ours, did not fail, in accordance with their high office, te censure severely the practices of those injurious to their spiritual safety, end disgraceful tothe Christial me; and from which also, they clearly saw that this result would follow, that unbelieving na- tions should be more and more cor ed in their hatred towards true Religion. The Apostolic Letter of y 29, 1587, under the Fisherman's Seal (St Peter's) to the Cardinal ‘Arch-Bishop of Toledo, has this same object in view; as others in succession still fullerthen this snme on to 924 of April, 1639, to th the Apostolic Churches Letters Co! in Portu; those individuals are very e. who dared or presumed to buy, to rachange, or to gire away the In~ DE NIGRITARU MV COMMERCIO NON EXERCENDO _ at, or West. to arate them from their (ARMA) ren, to despoil th-m of their property, to - and send them away 10 other places, or in any way to Romas ive themof freedom, to retain them in servitude, and Trem Couns to afford to those pursuing the aforestid line of cenduct aid, favor, and assistance, under any pretext or color whatsoever, or to preach or teach that this was lawful, in any other way whatever the practices above al- duded (0. (6) “Those decrees of the Pontifi’s just mention- ed, Benedict XIV. subsequently established and renewed by «new Apostolic Vetter to the clergy of Brazil, and of certain other regions, given on the 20th day of December, 1741, in which he strove to erouse the anxious feelings of the Priests themselves towards this sameend. (7) Be- fore this also, another Predecessor of ours still eurlier than these, Pius }I.on the Empire of the Portuauese being extended in his time to Guinea, a conntry of the blacks, gave, on the 7th Oct. 1462. a letter addres ed to the Bishop of Rubi, who was about to set out for those parts,in which he not only bestowed upon tbat Prelate full powers for exercising his sacre’ functions therein, with grester advan: , but, availing bimseif of this same opportunity, animadverted severely upon those Christians, who were accustomed to drag tbe Neophytes {nt> slavery. (8) And even in our own times, Pius VI/, influenced by the same spirit of religion, and love. as his Predecersors, zealously interposed his official infinence with those in po hat the traffic in blacks might at length entirely cease among Christians. These decrees and anxious cares on the part of our Predecessors have, with the b! of God, proved of no little avail in pro- tecting the Iadi ind others above mentioned, from the cruelty of invaders, and from the cupidity of Christion traJers. Not to such an extent, however, that this Hol S-e can congratulate itself on the full success of its zeal- ous efforts for the accomplishment of this end; seeing thatthe trade in blacks, though somewhat lessened, is still cerried on by numerous Christians, Ms WE, THEREFORE, 4 ing to remove so great a disgrace asthis from all the borders of Christendom, and the whole subject being maturely weighed, (rome of Our Venerable Brethren the Car.linals of the Holy Romen Church being nlto admitted to our counsel,) do hereby, treading in the footsteps of Our Predeces: by virtue of our Apostolic Authority, admonish an. estly adjure in the Lord all faithful Christians of every condition, that no one of them pare for the time tocome, to harrass un. jnstly Indians, Blacks, or any other persons of thii or to despoil them of their property, or te reduce them to slavery, or to lend aid, or favor to others while doing ench things towards them, or to exercise that inhuman treffic, by means of which the Blacks, as ifthey were not human beings, but the merest animals, in whatever woy reduced to slavery, are without any distinction, in violation of t! laws of justice and humanity, bouzbt, sold,and sometimes condemned tothe endurence of the most painful labours, and by which, moreover, through the hopeof gain, that ly offered itself to the owners of slaves, by means traffic, dissensions also and perpetual hostili- ties are as it were continually nurtured in the countries of those nnfortunate men. WE, THEN, by virtue of our Apottolic Authority, censure all the aforesaid practices, ax utterly unworthy of the Christian name. and by thet same thority, we strictly prohibit and interdict ahy Ecclestastic, or Lay- man trom presuming to uphold under retext or color whatsoever, that it it were law fal in its natur in any way ly or pri [focere] in opposition to those things which we hove a the subject of admonition in this our Apostolic etter, In order morever that this same Letter [Bull] of Ours may the more easily hecome known unto all, end that ro one may allege an ignorance of it, we decree and com- mand it to be promulgated according to custom by one of our messengers at the gates of the Church of the First of the Apostles, (St. Peter's] and of t'e Apostolic Charcel lary, as aleo at those ef the Palace on the n.onte Citatorio, and in the Campo Di Fiore; and copies of the same to be left affixed in those same places.

This is une of the most extraordinary documents ever promulgated by the authority of that sovereign Pontiff—the Pope. And when we come to examine the history of past events in this country, in relation to the movements of the Bishops and clergy of the Catholic Church, in connection with our elections, we at once discover that these erclesiastical move- ments have had an origin, of which nobody at this day would have dreamed. Very nearly contempora, neous with the publication of thisdocument atRome, there commenced in this country a simultaneous effort on the part of the Catholic Prelates, to break down the nghts and privileges conferred on the trustees of church property by the laws of the Uni- ted States. In New York, Buffalo, St. Louis, New Orleans, and other places, as all newspaper readers know, vigorous efforts of this kind were made with partial success ; and in Bishop Hughes’ pastoral let- ter, the ground in favor of the new ecclesiastical claims, in opposition to the rights of the people, as secured by the laws, was openly and boldly assumed by that very sagacious and zealous prelate Much about the same time, also, it is important to remark, Bishop Hughes entered the political arena, for the purpose, namely, of procuring a repeal of the Shoo! Law, by means of bringing ecclesiastical to bear upon political influence, end control it iu the re- quired direction. It 18 impossible not to be impressed by this re- markable coincidence. Mr. O'Connell's letter makes a fuller revelation of the purposes and de- signs of the Papal See. The preparatory assaults on the Jaws regulating property held in trust, and the interference of the c.ergy in our electicns, are now to be followed up by one grand, united, organized attack on our Southern institutions. By this Bul! all the members of the Catholic priesthood, bishops, clergy, aod all, are enrolled a8 Abolitioni The whole Catholic church is thus to be converted into an Abolition Society, on the grandest and most comprehensive scale, and compared to which the Abolition Societies of New England will be what lutle skirmishing parties are to the concentrated forces of a great army.

For, inspired by the Holy Spirit the Aposties taught slaves themselves on the one Loss of the Packet Ship Sheffield This fine packet ship, which has heretofore been so successful in crossing the Atlantic, has at last been driven ashore, and probably totally lost. This is certainly to be regretted. We learn that she left Liverpool on the Sth ult, under the command of Captain Popham, and went on Romer Shoals about one o’clock on Saturday afternoon, in a thick fog, and with the wind blow- ing agale fromthe E.S.E. She wasin charge ofan experienced pilot, but all the skill and experience in the world could not have prevented her from striking land at the time she did. Itissaid that ehe struck very heavily and bilged almost immediately. Captain Popham at once burned blue lights, which brought assistance to him. It was about ten o’clock on Saturday night that Captain Vanderbilt, of the steamer Wave, then at quarantine, saw the blue lights burning, in the di- rection of Romer. He immediately got up steam and started to the relief of the wrecked vessel. He reached her about two o’clock, and after great and desperate exertions,’ succeeded in taking off her paseengers, a portion of her’crew, and a large part of their baggage. These were brought to the city, and annexed are the names of ali but three or four of the cabin passengers. Rev Dr. Cut'er and Iady, E.J. Saunderson, lady and servant, J.R, Bailey,@ A. Von Spreekeleed, lady, child and servant, aud Mr. Sherwood. There were ninety steerage passengers, and it was truly fortunate that no lives were lost. Jn all there were one hundred and thirty-five souls on board. Some time after the departure of the Wave, the steamer Hercules was sent down from this city, with Mr. Kermit, the ship's agent, on board, but re- turned at half past ten o’clock yesterday morning, with nothing but the intelligence that all the ship’s masts had gone by the beard, and that she was full of water, even upto her maindeck. All the ship's papers, letter bags,dzc. were in the cabin, and, there- fore, could not be reached. Her cargo is composed of dry goods, salt, paper makers’ wiree, &c. &c , the most of which will be seriously damaged, if not lost. Asthe wind has since changed, however, to N.W. there is every probability that all willbe saved, although not in the best condition. When the ship first struck, it was supposed that she would only fill fo the second deck, and the pas- eengers, therefore, remained inthe cabin, in appa- rent security, but the wind blew no violently, and she thumped so heavily, that she soon began to fill very rapidly, so rapidly indeed, that Captain Pop- ham himself was compelled to take the ladies out of the cabin and carry them to the deck on his back, Sinbad-like, while the sailors rescued the male passengers in the same way. This was in the night. It was dismally dark, and the the wind blowing a perfect hurricane. Ia the midst of this, one hundred and thirty-five human beings were huddled together on the deck of the lone ship, with nothing but utter destruction staring them inthe face. All this—the burning blue lights in the thick fog, the howling of the wind, the roaring of the surf, the rough voices of the crew, the cracking of the falling masts, presented a scene frightfully grand to those on board. Not one, we are sure, has a desire to witness it again. ‘We cannot here refrain from stating that every exertion was made by Captain Popham, the com- mander of the Sheffield, and the pilot, to whom no blame can be attached, to save the lives of those on beard. Captain Popham displayed a great deal of courage in protecting his passengers, and too much Praise cannot be awarded to him. Her manifest is published under the proper head. Te Poarp or ALDERMEN meets this evening for the thirtieth time since the election of the members, and we wou'd, in all sincerity, ask whet measures have they adopted during this whole term, of any public benefit. They came into power promising a reformation of the many evile that had gradually found Yheir way into the admvaistration of the city government, which the whig party had also pro- mised the spring before, and which up to the present time neither have performed in any single instance. The sudden burst of corporation patriotism that was evinced by several of the new members, on taking their seats last spring, through windy resolutions, terminated at the outbreak, and inne instance, ex- cept that of repealing the street contract, whichhas ended in no benefit, has definite action been taken It isfully evident that the repeal of this very con- tract was more for a party purpose than general good, asthe whole community can testify that the streets at the present time, were never more filthy, or less attention given to their cleanliness. The Street Iospectors appear to have devoted the last three months, entirely to the support of the party in power, and, strange aa it may appear,to all except politicians, more men have been employed during that time than at any previous period. The condi- tioa of the streets and cross walks ef our lower wards, where people mostly do congregate during business hours, disgrace to every Street Inspec- tor who has their superintendance, and an insult to our community, who have so generously and liber- ally stepped foward to introduce the Croton water at such vast expenditure. The enormous tax imposed in support of our city poor, has long since ca!led for the erection of a Work House, where the able-bodied paupers confi ned at Bellevue, would be compelled to earn some: thing towards their support, instead of being sus tained from the city treasury io perfect idleness, as they now are and have been foryears. On this sub: ject we have had a “report,” which has ended in nothing, but talk, talk, talk. The reform in the Police has been aided by one movement only, that is an addition of some few watchmen, where the wants of the community de manded double the number, and an extension of their time of service in the morning to fifteen mi- nutes of sunrise. The many evils that have been pointed out in other departments have not been touched, and unless some movement is shortly made, they will never get through the Common Council intime for action at the ensuing Legi ture. The daily practices of fraud at mock auction stores that are now distributed throughout almost every street in our city—the watch stuff-rs, burners, touchers, pocket book droppers and emigrant passen- ger robbers, who have increased within a year in almost four-fold proportion, have nofear of our pre- sent police nor the laws which they administer. They cheat, defraud and rob the honest and unsus- pecting, who are daily seen applying at the police offices for redress, and who are, to their astonish. ment informed, that nothing can be done except an attempt to recover back a portion of the lost funde if the parties will give them up on threats of arrest and exposure in the public prees. These are among the many evils that exist, and we could extend the list still further if time would permit. The present Corporation have been in power over half their full term of service, and nothing there fore has been done to benefit the community in the great and necessary measures of reform. *Tistime there- fore that that community began to prepare for the selection of men at the ensuing Spring election, who will do something to relieve them—who wil! not only promige but perform—who will throw aside party feeling in public measures, and not fear to advocate, sustain and vote for thorough re- form, even if it treads upon the toes of party friends. Uuless this change is effected, ard shortly, too, but few of the present members of the Common Council can hope for a return to their seats, as the Native American, or “New York De- mocratic Party,” will sweep every thing before them, i( they adopt these measures of reform as the land marks whereby to govern themselvesat the «n- suing epring election.

Jamzs Gorpon Benyetr, Esq. :— Dear Sim, The appearance of clear weather at the closing of my letter yesterday, bas been fully reahzed, and to- day hasbeen one of the most beautiful of the sea- son. There has consequently been a great display on our thoroughfares, and the churches have all been immensely crowded, and the services, we may hope, will be bleesed to the spiritual benefit of many of the sinful sons and daughters of Adam. There will be divine service in the Bishop Whi Chapel in Ranstead’s Court this evening—this build. ing, formerly known asthe Tabernacle, was occu- pied by the Presbyterian congregation, has been re- cently purchased and dedicated as an Episcopal Free Church. The situation iscentral, but I am sorry to say, the attendance has notibeen as large as we could’ expect, in the mid t of a large population, and remote trom other Episcopal Churches. The Catholic Church at Port Etizabeth, New Jer- sey, will be dedicated to the worship of Almighty God this day. The Rev. Mr. Gartland will, by gele. gation of the Bishop, perform the ceremony—the Rev Mr. sourin will preach the sermon. I promired to give you a briet history of the “Scot's Presbyterian Church” yesterday, and will now hastily do so. The congregatron rst eg- tablished in the year 1765 It was originally an Associate Presbyterian Church in connexion with the Scottish Secession Church, and was organized by an Associate Presbytery in Seotland. The old honse of worship was erected in 1771. Daring the Revolution, when the British had possession of this city, the congregation was in a scattered state, and the Church was used by the Hessians, part of the time, as barracks, and part, | understand, aga stable for the ace xmmodation of the horses of the cavalry. What an unholy desecration ot the temple set apart tor the service of the living God. After the peace in 172, the Associate Presbyterians and the Re- formed Presbyterians formed an union, calied the Associate Retormed Presbyterian Church, and to this body the congregat‘on belonged until the terms of union were agreed upon between the Asaociate Reformed Church and the General Assembly of the Presbyterian Church in 1822 It was at that period that the name of Eighth Presbyterian Church was taken up,but as the charter has never been changed, the Church has determined to resume its first, ancient and corporate name and title. The Church was filled this moraing; the congregation assembled listened attentively to an elcquent sermon from the pastor, the Rey. Mr. Macklin. Dr. Eagles will of- ficiate this afternoon. _ There was another immense house at the Na- tional last evening, and I suppose full houses will be seen there for sometime The desire to seethe “* Mysteries of Paris” is very great; I am told that great pains has been taken to produce this thrilling drama with great effect; we will see and report. I gave you yesterday the cast of the principal cha- racers inthe piece. __ 2 The Chesnut was thinly attended last evening, and the Equestrian Troupe at the Walnut played to a full house. i is J saw a letter this morning from Galveston, Texas, iatorming of the safe arrival of the shop Star Re- ublicat that place on the 16th Ccrober. the left New York on the 24 October, making the passage in just 14days.
