NEW YORK HERALD. ow York, Friday, November 94, 1843. "Qe Subscribers, Yesterday we received the following letter by the mail oe ag Aunany, Nov. 22, 1843. ao On the 28th of October, when at Canandagua, | to your Mr. Attree seven dollars, as a yearly subscription, for & copy of your daily Herald, to be delivered at my resi- dence, No. 18 South street, Albany, but as yet h not received one copy ; you will much oblige by forward- ing them in due course from this time, stating also, the reason why they were not sent, as 1 always understood you paid every attention to your subscribers. Your obedient servant, ‘A. SNODGRASS. In reply to this note, we have only to say that we have never before heard of this money, and that Mr. Attree was never authorised by us to take or receive any money on our aceount from any subscriber—nor has he been con- neoted with this journal for six months past. We only recognise such acts in the clerks regularly employed in our office in this city. And if at any time, any person in our employ, either as reporter, writer or printer, other than fan authorised clerk, is known to take money from any person, for any purpose, on account of this establishment, we make it a point of duty to dismiss him from our office and employ as soon as it comes to our knowlege. Persons wishing to subscribe to the Herald, can always do so, by enclosing the money in the presence of any post- master, by whom it will be franked and transmitted to us- This is according to law. JAMES G. BENNETT. SECOND GREAT MONSTER MEETING YOUNG AMERICANS. 4 TERRIBLE RALLY FROM ALL THE WARDS INTO lar views and feelings, That we want a post office reform every body acknowledges. Therenever was @ nation that wanted it more, and probably the best introductory step would be to reduce the postage two-thirds, and cause it to be uniformly pre-paid. "This would be introducing into the Department the cheap cash principle, which is now we see coming into vogue in many quarters. We know how suc- cessful its operation has been in the newspaper business, and it is of universal applicability, with the same satisfactory results. It is certainly to be expected that on this impor- tant public question the new party will take prompt and efficient action. They have nobly undertaken the work of reform in all departments, and they must not—we are persuaded they will not—shrink from the full and faithful discharge of their duty. Let them, then, render us their efficient aid in ob- ning a complete, searching, perfect post office reform. Way Sentence ts Detavep.—The Recorder call- ed upon us yesterday forthe purpose of setting us right as to the causes which have delayed the sentence of Moses Y. Beach, criminally convicted of libel some months ago. It appears that it has always been customary in cases where an individual has been prosecuted criminally and civilly for the same libel, and has been convicted first of the criminal offence, to suspend sentence until the re- sult of the civil suit should be ascertained, in or- der that the amount of damages in the latter might be taken into consideration by the Court, in passing judgment for the criminal offence.— Such being the case, and civil suit instituted by the Editor of the Herald against Beach being yet unsettled, the Recorder, in compliance with the usages of the Court of Sessions, and at the request of the District Attorney, has delayed final action. If we are rightfully informed, propositions have been made by tbe Editor of the Herald to Beach for a compromise of the civil action; and we un- THE BLOODY SIXTH WARD. A tremendous Monster Meeting is to be held this evening, in and around the North American Hotel, in the Bowery, Sixth Ward. The Ninth, the Seven- teenth, and all the upper wards intend to send out the Young Democracy in hundreds, to concentrate in the Sixth Ward, and to demonstrate to the two old rotten factions there, the terrible retribution that awaits them next April. We shall send our whole corps of reporters, and publish a full report to-morrow morning—a report that will make the whole Republic shake with astonishment. Meanwhile a word of caution—a little word of advice. Let the American Republicans be united, firm and fearless. First and foremost—go ahead for city reform in all its branches, and for an over- whelming revolution in the spring. When that is achieved, then think again. We hear it whispered that the Irish Repeal Abo- litionists, who have been organized by Bishop Hughes and John M’Keon, intend to make an at- tack upon the Young Americans, and to drive them out of the Sixth. We advise these men to beware what they at- tempt. There are ten thousand Young Democracy in New York, ready to march to the Sixth Ward, and to keep the peace. Meantime, the enthusiasm rises higher every day. Both the old factions are frightened, and their cor- rupt and rotten newspapers think to stop the terrible movement by crying out ‘hoax”— forgery”— “ falsehood” —“‘ fudge.” Already the five follow- ing papers are out at the elbows :— Names. Politics. Evening Post, .... . .Locofoco. ebeian...... Pa eae Daily Expres Whig. Commercial Advertise Do Journal of Commerce, Loaves and fishes. Let the American Republicans pay no sort of at- tention to the newspaper or other attacks, or their quarrels. Let them be united, harmonious, ener- getic, untiring, enthusiastic, determined, coura- geous, and in April we will have a reform and revo- lution in the city government, and before the end of 1844, a like reform and revolution in the State and General Governments. Onward—onward. Post Office teform—fhe Mecting at the Ex- change To-Morrow. We perceive by a notice in the daily prints that a meeting has been called in Wall street for the purpose of commencing a movement to procuse a thorough @nd complete reform of the Post Office department during the next session of Congress. This is one of the many much needed reforms which will be taken up by the American Republi- cans at no distant day. In the meantime we are very glad to find that any portion of the commu- nity is ready at this moment to take the matter up with energy and zeal; and we trust that the crowds who will assemble at the Exchang teo-morrow, will ive such expression to their sentiments, and adopt such measures, aswill effectually arouse Congress and the Government to the conviction that they must immediately yield to the popular will,by making the Post Office department conformable to the wishes and wants of the people. We call upon the “Young Democracy”’—upon all the American Re- publicans—on all who have any interest in the equi- table and efficient administration of the govern- ment, to assemble on this oceasion and take such acourse as will compel the immediate action of Congress on this most important matter. In connection with this subject we perceive that a correspondence has taken place between the Postmaster General and the Attorney General, in which these functionaries endeavor to justify the course pursued by the department towards the newspaper press—a course which has just been condemned by the highest legal authorities in this district---the decision of the United States District Court and a jury of enlightened citi- zens. The complaints of Mr. Wickliffe on account of the chastisement he has received from the public press, are infinitely amusing. They remind us of the lamentations of the urchin who lost his bread and butter on the way to school, and so was obliged to go without his din ner. The poor man evidently feels sore. He wriggles about confoundedly. He had much het- ter have spared his mewling and puking in the face of the decision of the District Court and the verdict of the jury. The legal opinion of the Attorn General is as amusing as the Jeremiad of his col- league, the Postmaster General. It is a miserable piece of pettifoggery. It is, altogether, a begging of the question. Mr. Nelson merely takes his scis- sors and paste, and helps us to half a dozen extracts from the laws regulating the Post Office Department, but on which a decision of a court and jury of the United States has given usa very clear commentary, and perfectly consistent with the popular sentiment. We do not wish to say anything disrespectful or discourteous of either of the functionaries of the government who have thus presented themselves to the public, but we do think that they have not added much to their dignity, or reputation for com- mon sense. As if to render themselves still more ridiculous, they announce their intention of carry- ing the case just decided against them, and to which we have already alluded, up to the Supreme Court! This is the crowning absurdity. As well nnght Mr. Van Buren, after the last election, when the court and jury of the country gave a verdict against him, have carried the case up to the Su- preme Court, in the hope of obtaining a reversal of the decision of the people. The truth is, the mismanagement of the Post Office Department has reached its utmost point. It never has been in such a low condition. For the last five years it has been going on trom bad to worse, with even more than the usual rapidity of unfortunate beings who have made shipwreck of their character, and can desperately to ruin. In Amos Kendall’s time we thought, with very good reason, too, that the Post’ Office Dep&rtment was bed enough; but Amos had some glunmerings of common sense, to which his éuceessor has no pres tensions. , Ld ‘We trust that all the interesting and important points connected with the question of post office derstand the terms proposed by the former were that Beach should pay , to be distributed in public charity, With these terms, it is said, Beach refuses to comply. i It is clear that so long as one party continues to propose, and the other to diplomatise and fight shy, the termination of the suit will be delayed ; and it is equally clear that pending these private negocia- tions the ends of pes gemace are_ compromised. Here are Walsh and Wilks, for similar, and cer- tainly not more atrocious offences, tried, promptly sentenced, and no less promptly punished, while an earlier offender remains undisturbed in ‘his avoca- tions, and may, unless Beach and the editor of the Herald cut the matter short by a compromise or trial of the civil suit, continue undisturbed for ever. Thus it will be seen that as the affair now stands, the sentence of Beach for a crime against the peo- ple, is kept.in abeyance by the private negociations of two individuals. We therefore call upon the editor of the Herald,who we believe has no real de- sire to prevent justice being done, to remove, one ey or the other, the only bar to its course.—TRvE cs Thus says the “True Sun,” It is, however, a gross mistake to suppose that we interpose any ob- stacle to the administration of justice. On the per- petration of the atrocious attack on my family, (I care nothing for attacks on myself,) my counsel com- menced a civil suit, but as soon as ascertained the fact, I ordered a suspension, until the Court of Ses- sions should do their duty. I never would and never will pollute my hands by taking any money —and I have learnt how utterly futile it would be to take any money and dispense it to any thankless public or private charity. I have thrown away thousands en kind offices of the kind, but never re- ceived any thing but ill will, jealousy and ingrati- tude in return. I have, therefore, nothing further to do with Beach. He is in the hands of the Court of Sessions, and of Mr. Whiting, the District Attorney. They shall not shelter their delay underany pretext grow- ing out of any civil suit. It is suspended to permit them to do their duty, and when that is done it shall be discontinued altogether. It is curious, however, to observe how very active Mr. Whiting was to bring me to justice for a simple jew d’esprit on Noah, once a member of that Court—but how very slow he is to mete out the same measure upon Beach, for a most beastly attack on one of the purest and most affectionate wives that breathes. It is curious to observe with what haste he brought an action against me for the publication ofthe sub- stance of a legal document—a matter not indicta- ble at all—in the case of Anthony Dey—and to note with what gout he took every opportunity to depreciate my character, and to convict me ona point that lawyers believe was contrary to law. It is curiousto observe the repeated attempts in every branch of justice, to expend the full measure of le- gal vengeance—while, ona flimsy pretext that does not exist, some strange mysterious influence screens Moses Y. Beach from the punishment due to a beustly offence, that was without a parallel for its Ole Bull, The arrival of this new-world-renowned mu- sician in our city, has created a very great sensa- tion. We understand by a musical friend, who was present at the rehearsal for the Concert which the Chevalier Ole Bull is to give at the Park Theatre to-morrow evening, that his performances actually stunned the orchestra with amazement, which fi- nally resulted in long and reiterated bursts of the most enthusiastic applause. This spontaneous ad- miration of fellow artists is certainly the best proof of Ole Bull’s extraordinary talent as a violinist, and the most flattering triumph which it is possible for an artist to enjoy. All the persons present were unanimous in asserting that such marvellous exhi- bitions upon the violin have never, not even to a remote degree, been listened to in this country.— Invitation of the public to the Park on this occa- sion is unnecessary. Indeed, we believe, that al- most every place has been taken. As the public are very rly anxious to know all about the past career of such a successful candidate for their favor, we present the follow- ing biographical sketch, compiled from authentic sources. Ole Bull is a native of Norway, and was intended by his parents for the service of the church. A passionate love of music had, however, possessed him from his infancy, and the violin en- grossed all the study and thought which the pa- ternal wish desired to be directed to ecclesiastical lore. It was his friend, his constant companion, the central object of his attachment. At six years old he would repeat on a little common fiddle bought at a fair, all the airs which he had heard sung around him, or played in the street, and two years afterwards, he had astonished a society of professional men, by A at sight the first violin part in a quartette of Pleyel’s, though he had never taken a lesson in music, but had found out his way entirely alone. i In his twentieth year Ole Bull, with a very slen- der purse, left his home and set out for Paris, which he reached at the period when the cholera was raging in all its fury. Friendless and patron- less, he comes forward to be heard. At any other moment his talents must have forced public atten- tion in his behalf; but in those days of desolation there was indeed every reason to dispair. One day, in retugning to the miserable apartment he occupied in an bbscure lodging-house, he found that the trunk in which his last slender means were con- tained, had di: ared. He turned his eyes to the spot where he had placed his violin---it was gone! This climax of disaster was too much for the poor enthusiast, who wandered about for three days in the streets of Paris, a prey to want and des- pa and then threw himself into the Seine! The 1and of some humane person rescued him from his situation. His next encounter seemed like another Pecial interposition of Providence ; for he became the object of benevolent attention to a mother who had just lost her son through the cholera, and who found in the young, stranger so remarkable a re- semblance to him, that she received him into her house, and, though possessed but of moderate means herself, furnished relief to his necessities. The cholera in the meantime ceased its ravages. and Paris assumed its habitual aspect. Suppl ied with bread and an aa and soon afterwards with the loan of a violin, Ole Bull was again ena- bled to gratify his devotion for music. By degrees his name began to be heard; and he arrived at some small reputation. Thus encouraged, he ven- tured the experiment of a Concert; and fortune smiled on him for the first time, for he gained 1200 francs---a large sum, considering the position in which he then was. With the means thus acquired he set out for Smitzerland, and from thence travel- ed into Italy, At Bologna, where his first great manifestation appears to have been made, accident accomplished his introduction to the public. Full of painful emotion he sat down with the resolution to epiapons something ; and_ it was partly amidst a flow of obtrusiye tears that his purpose was fulfilled. ee up his instrument, he then proceeded to try the effect of the ideas he had just called into life. At that moment, it chanced that Madame Rossini was passing by the house in which his humble apartment was situated. The impression made on her was such that she spoke in emphatic terms upon it to the director of a Philharmonic Society, who was in a critical predicament, owing to some failure in a promise which had been made him by DeBeriot and the syren Malibran. Madame Rossini’s piece of intelligence was a burst of light to the ‘* Manager in Distress ;” he had found his man. The artist was induced to play before the dilettanti of Bologna, and his success wascomplete. At Lucia, Florence, Milan, Rome and Venice, the impression he made was yet greater and more decisive. On each occa- sion he was recalled several times by the audience, and always hailed with the utmost enthusiasm.— At the Nespolita theatre of San Carlos, he was summoned back by the public no less ‘dian nine times—thrice after the performance of his_ first piece, and six times at the end of the second. It was a perfect furor. Our Norwegian artist now revisited Paris, under happier auspices. Wel- comed and introduced with eager kindness to the composer of “Robert le Diable,” he was several times listened to with delight on the stage of the Opera, and obtained the greatest success that had been known since the display made by Paganini. . The first impulses given to the genius of this ar- tist was the result of hearing his great predecessor, having effected his admission to the saloon of the French Opera, by esting his last shirt, so low at that time were his finances. Every one was ex- claiming that nothing could transcend the efforts of atrociousness. We again tell the Court of Sessions to do their duty, or to let it alone, just as they please—it is their affair, not ours. We remove all barriers from the immediate administration of justice. Newsrarenr Borrowers anp Tuteves.—We have a list of several names of persons in the lower wards of this city, calling themselves respectable, who are in the habit of borrowing or purloining, as the case may be, their neighbor’s Herald, reading it, and then abusing the paper, its editor, and all concerned in it, as if they were pickpockets. If such persons don’t like the Herald why do they read it? If they are so hostile to its views aud principles why annoy their neighbors who entertain a different opionion ? and above all why do they purloin it from those who take the paper and pay for it, for their own use?— We shall publish the list of these offenders, and give some interesting and curious accompanying details, if these petty, miserable creatures do not at once abandon their disreputable practices. Ovr Inrencoursk witn France.—We have a few more particulars to give relative to the line of French steam ships which is to go into operation early next spring. They are to leave Cherbourg at first, and then make Havre their port of departure. When we were in Havre we saw that the go- vernment were building in that port a magnificent dock and pier for the exclusive use of the steam ships, which will be ready some time next summer. Then the steamers willleave Havre. In the mean- time they will leave Cherbourg. ‘They will make the change to Havre about the time that the Rouen and Havre Railroad is completed. ‘The grading of this road is now going rapidly on under the superintendence of Mr.Cochrane, who hastwo or three of his steam excavators constantly employed These steam-laborers without breeches and with the use of hot water, do the work of twenty to thirty men, and grade a road in one fourth the time that it for- merly took the steam engines in breeches with the use of gin mixed with a small quantity of hot water to go over the same ground. When this road is finished, the means of commu. nication between Havre and Paris will be the easiest, the most rapid, and the most complete of any in existence. This will connect with the steam ships, and give us a constant and regular steam intercourse with Paris. In that time Paris will be brought within two weeks’ sail of NewYork. They are now eighteen days apart. Time will, therefore, loose four days. a1 versus Dr. Con- tyer oF Boston.—It will be recollected that we published, a few days ago, a letter from Dr. Collyer on the authority of the Boston Mail, stat ng that said Doctor was going to publish a book upon Ame- rica, full of fire and faggots. Yesterday’s Philadelphia Enquirer contains a let- ter from this same Dr. Collyer, to the editor of that paper, dated London, Novy, 1, 1843, in which he de- nies any intention of publishing a book upon this country. And not only so, but he speaks very hand- somely 6f the country and of its people. ‘The fol- | lowing extract shows the temper of the letter:— | | If Twere disposed to go over the hackneyed ground of Basil Hall, Mrs. Trollope, Mrs. Fiddler, Marryatt, ke.

Dr. Cortver or Patiapen reform, will be discussed with temperance and spirit, butwith the most rigid and searching justice and vigor, at the public meeting to-morrow. We shall report the proceedings in fall, so that Congress may-know and profit by the expression of the popu- | ly educated, will be the lever of National greatness. 1 will in all human probability, remain tin England the rest of | my life; therefore understand Ido not write this to. gain friends on a second visit to America, the great Italian. Ole Bull retired in a thoughtful mood, and this idea never forsook him until at Trieste he threw himself boldly on the resources of his own: genius—and thus completely freed himself from the risk of servile imitation. The style of this performer is bold, impassioned, and impulsive. Ole Bull, incredible as it may ap- pear, practises but little, a very limited application of the hands being required to carry out his cot ceptions. He oes much of that modesty which always characterises true genius, and has no knowledge of any of those tricks on which so ma- a of his professional brethren depend in their strug- gle for popularity, and distinction. There can be no doubt that in this country he will add greatly to his laurels. Important rrom Canapa.—We received some important intelligence by yesterday morning’s mail from Canada. It was reported in Kingston on the 17th inst. that Sir Charles Metcalfe had resigned the government of the Canadas, and will immediately return home. Severe indisposition is assigned as one cause for this step. It was also reported that the government have solicited and obtained the services of several members of the Legislative Council, who had thought it their duty to retire. We find in the Kingston Whig of the 17th inst. that the Governor has signed the following bills: An Act for continuing the Provincial Parliament in case of the demise of the Crown. ct to render the Jud, of the Courts of King’s Bench in that part of the Province heretofore Lower Cana- da, independent of the Crown. ‘An Act for securing the Province against any unneces- sary loss on the judicial sale of certain parts of the vacant estate of the late Honorable Sir John Caldwell. An Act to impose certain duties on Agricultural pro- duce and Live Stock imported into this Province. An Act to authorise the Superior and Directors of the Seminary of Quebec to acquire and hold a certain amount of property in addition to that now held by them. From Rio Janeino.—By the bark Coosa, Capt. Whipple, from Rio Janeira, we have received ad- vices to the 10th October. A friendly treaty which had been entered into by the Brazilian minister with the Montevideans, had been negatived by the Emperor. The British Commodore, Purvis, had received orders from his government to respect the blockade of Montevideo. The Brazilian Princess, Donna Januarea, was dangerously ill with putrid fever, and great excitement existed in consequence. The U. 8. ships John Adams and St. Louis,were at Rio—all well. The John Adams had just arrived from the River La Platte. The St. Louis was to sail soon for the East Indies. The U.S. ship Co- lumbia had just left for Montevideo. Navan.—Captain David Conner, formerly chief of the Bureau of Construction and Repairs, has re- ved the command of the Home Squadron, vice Commodore Stewart relieved. The Independence, Capt. McKeever, will sail immediately for Boston, to be laid up; her officers and crew will be trans ferredgo the Potomac, which will be the flag ship of the squadron, We understand that the old barque purchased in this city, and taken round to Alexandria, is for the purpose of trying anothor “explosive” experiment, under the direction of the Navy Department. Marne Evecrion.---Morse, whig, is elected to Congress from the 4th dietrict. Mesic¢ar, &c,—Wallace and Mrs. Bailey gave a concert on Wednesday evening at Richmond. Mr. Hamilton Brahamge son of the ‘celebrated vo. calist, recently made his appearance at a, concert given by his father in London, and was fully suc- cessful, The London Sun calls him the primo bas- tonf England.

By the Right Rev. M. Russell, L. L. D, and D, C. L., No. 158 of the Family Library, by the Harpers. The main object of this volume is to throw light on the introduction of Christianity and civilization into the Islands of the South Sea. Without deciding points at issue, the author has furnished materials for forming a clear judgment, both as to what has been accom- plished, and also as to the result which must fol- low. The actual condition of society in Polynesia is exhibited—their manners, improvements, Xe, A view is also given of the manufacturing industry, commercial relations, natural history of the Islands, &e. &e. The work is accompanied by a map, and is a valuable acquisition to historical science. ‘Tur Leaion or Linerty anp Force or Trutu— Containing the thaughts, words, and deeds of some prominent apostles, champions and martyrs; se- cond edition, Illustrated with engravings.

Williams, an apothecary, that there was a large quantity of dried currants, to the number of some 40 or 50 hogsheads, as also beef, pork, and other provisions, offered for sale, and to be sold at auc- tion, at 11 o’clock yesterday. These currants, &c. had been taken from on board the Sheffield, where they had been saturated with yellow water. In this yellow water, it appears, there had been diasol- ved a large quantity o fA eee ate, and the bi- chromate of potash. Mr. Williams, himself, had on board 2000 pounds of the prussiate of potash,enough to poison all the water in the vessel, and which, in fact, caused the water to turn yellow. Mr. Wil- liams immediately gave information to Mayor Mor- ris, who, with his usual promptness drove down to the wharf, where the things were about to be sold at auction, and stopped the sale. Mr. Chilton was engaged immediately to analyze the articles, and if the result shows them to be poisonous the Mayor will require them to be destroyed—otherwise they will be sold. If poisonous, as is presumed, and they had been scattered all over the city, and made into pies, and Christmas cakes, it is impossible to predict the amount of sickness and death which might have followed. This is a warning which should not be forgotten by purchasers of fruit, pro- visions, &c. Niuto’s New Cmcvs.—Another fashionable a dience evinced their unqualified delight last evening at the admirable performances of Messrs. Rockwell & Stone’s Equestrian Corps. The different acts are selected with great taste, and the whole programme progresses with a spirit and order, that distinguishes this troupe, and leaves nothing to the lovers of horsemanship to be desired. Mr. Turner's feats on four horses, are truly surprising; indeed, the whole entertainments were deservedly applauded. We are glad to pereeive that arrangements have been made that will enable visitors to secure seats dur- ing the day. Tur Mysrerres ov Pants.---This superb drama was produced for the first time last evening.

Las James G. Benner, Esq. : Democratic gain, Dear Sir :— Bond-paying vot A good deal has been written recently in relation to the prosperity of the manufacturing institutions in the vicinity of Boston. I feel pleased to admit that manufacturing business is very good there, and indeed, that it has been so good forthe last twenty years, that the stockholders of their incorporated companies have received back in dividends, two, three, and even four timesthe amount of their capi- tals within that time ; yet I unequivocally assert, that, for location, climate, water power, and all other privileges conducive to the prosperity of man- ufacturing, there is no place—certainly none in this country, that presents so many inducements for profitable investments of capital in the manufactur- ing of cotton and woollen goods, as Paterson ; the water privileges are certainly unsurpassed, we have a descent within a few hundred yards of seventy feet and upwards, the same water is used three times before it escapes into the river below; in this way the whole water of the Passaic river can be used. We now have from twenty to thirty large cotton and woollen mills in full operation, with sufficient water to drive more than twice the number, and after the whole water of the Passaic river shall in this way become exhausted, a portion of the water of the Morris Canal will, I think beyond all ques- tion,be shprogeiated to manufacturing purposes; for, by reason of its great elevation above even the water of the river, the water drawn from it could be used two or three times before emptying into the river above the falls, and after that, as often as the water of the river is now used. Anti-bond-paying gain, res We here see an Anti-Bond paying gain of 38, and a democratic gain of 611 yotes in one half of the State.

Mr. Hymes went to his room without a light, and hearing a noise in room, he looked about and found Bates behind the door.

Manchester is twice the distance from Liverpool that Paterson is from New York; in a short time Paterson will have a water communication to con- nect it with New York. Manchester is not thus connected with Liverpool; Manchester has but very little water power, and consequently almost the whole of the motive power of her factories is gene- rated by steam. We now have a population of about nine thousand souls, where but a few years since the wild beasts of the forest held undisputed sway; and instead of the noise of the weavers shut- tle, and the operatives spindle, i was heard but the roar of our waterfall, mingled with the bel- lowing of wild beasts and the eae of birds. Truly nature and art combined have done wonders for this place ;_ and if manufacturing has not been as profitable here as at the east, it is because there has not been a sufficiency of capital invested in the business. If the capitalists of New York were more. like those of Boston, they would invest more of their funds in manufacturing, and would realize si- milar profits. R espectiully yours, &e., Puenix.

The report on the bill of Sheriff Hart, which was ordered the iprenions night, will be the first in the order of business for next Tuesdav night. It is full time some action was finally had on this question, as the withhold- ing the amount due the Sheriff, and which he has actuall id out for the benefit of the city and county, out of his own private funds, is a matter of extreme hardship and injustice to that public servant.

While at Para, as we were unloading, Williams spit on the paint work; I ordered him not to do so; he replied, that I had better not meddle with him, as he was too old a hand to be interfered with by such as I was On the cross-examination, the captain said that the crew Aid their duty on all occasions, except that one day at Pa- ra; there was no fever at Para, and the water was fresh.
