| Herald Supplement. We publish this morning, for the use of our city | subseribers, a SurrPLement, containing the report | of the Postage Reform Meeting on Saturday, with | other matters, advertisements, &c. &c. | Liners any Liner Svrrs.—We are pleased to | inform our readers that the libel suit, commenced | a year ago against this journal by the Faculty of the University Medical College, has been settled | on terms satisfactory and honorable to all parties concerned. In a short time, when this settlement shall have been perfected, we shall then refer to it, and pub- lish an account of the matter. It is sufficient for * us to say at present, that on the opening of that Medical School, no one took a warmer interest in its success than we did. This feeling existed with us personally to the last, inspite of all the untoward intrigues which rivals of the School and enemies to us, set on foot to produce difficulties and dif- ferences. On an explanation of the circumstances that led to these difficulties, (much enhanced by the many duties of a journalist,) the Faculty acted with that becoming liberality and good sense which should be a lesson to such sensitive persons as Fen- nimore Cooper, and all those who, on the most tri- fling grounds, rush into law, and attribute purposes to editors that are seldom entertained. Progress of Abolition in the United States— Foreign Influence—the Union tn Danger. The history of the progress of the abolition move- ment in this country during the last few years, pre- sents some features so remarkable—so instructive— and so full of warning, that they ought to be known throughout the length and breadth of the land, and awaken and alarm every true lover of his country, and the stability of its institutions. It is but a short time since the abolitionists were a petty faction of fanatics—a contemptible band of visionaries, whose vagaries excited only ridicule and pity. Thus in 1840, they numbered! only about six thousand throughout the whole extent of the Union. Will it be believed that since that time—in the brief space of three years—this petty faction, this little clique of six thousand individuals, has increased into a well-organized party, with itstramifications everywhere, numbering sixry-Five THOUSAND mem- bers? If this do not strike alarm, and arouse the friends of the Union, nothing will do it but the tu- multuous din of the national fabric thundering in their ears. Here are the proofs of this extraordi- nary state of things. Here in these immoveable, unquestionable, startling figures, may be read the lesson of warning and monition to duty, which we | would spread before the people of this Union :— Axouirion Vere IN Founress Srarks.

Have any public events occurred during the past few years which account it? We think thet a little reflection will fur- nish to every intelligent observer of passing events, the solution of these questions. It is first of all to be noticed that the ine: as chiefly taken place during the iast twelve months. A glance at the table discovers that during the last year the num- bers have been almost doubled. Now we have not the slightest hesitation in asserting that the insidi- ous, persevering, zealous efiorts of his Holiness the Pope,carried out by a numerous body of ecclesiastics | who exercise unlimited control over a vast portion of our population, and aided also with such perti- nacity, malignity and violence, by Daniel O'Con- nell and the Irish Repeal Association in Dublin, have been the cause of this extraordiaary increase in the numbers, strength and infldence of the aboution party in the United States. The demonstration of | this important fact is easy. By the Bul! of his Ho- | liness at Rome, the entire body of the Catholic clergy in this country have been orgauized into a grand, comprehensive Abolition Committee, re- quired by the highest ecclesiastical authority—and the only authority which they recognize—to use every effort in their respective parishes, to procure the immediate and total abolition of the domestic institutions of the South, And then, on the other hand, a secular influence of a power and authority inferior only to the ecclesiastical, is brought to b on the same portion of the population from one end of the Union to the other. We allude, of course, to the influence exercised byO’Connell. By this com- bined influence the cause and interests of the Atri- canslave and the Irish Catholic have been made one —they have been, ex-cathedra, proclaimed to be in- dissoluble, and all the friends of Ireland are autho- ritatively required to connect themselves with the abolition party. This simple statement reveals the causes of that remarkable increase of strength which the above tabular view presents. If any more palpable proof be wanting, here it is ready to our hands. Let the sceptical look at it, and doubt longer, if he can, the truth of the exis- tence of a well-concerted conspiracy on the part of the Pope, his clergy, and O’Connell, to effect the abolition of slavery on this continent. Roya Nationa, Rereat Association. Atameeting of this Association, held in the Concilia® tion Hall, Dublin, October 24th, the Liberator was receiv- #4 with loud cheers on his entrance. After the transac- tion of some business, Mr. O'Connell proceeded to observe, that on the preceding day, he read a letter from Patterson, forwarded by 8. Whitley, ind had also handed in from Gerrit Smith, Esq., transmitted by Mr. Lewis Tap- pan. He said they were both among the most illustrious advocates of the wi ‘hed slaves and people of color in America, aud then continued:—The cruelty of the Irish towards the people of color in America had been put be- | yond the least doubt, by Lord Morpeth, who had. spent | more than twelve months in America, during which time he had an opportunity of investigating the conduct of every class in that country, and who publicly, in Exeter Hall in London, before five or six thousand ple, proclaimed, certainly with reluctance, and Jn as modified terms as he could use, that no cla: showed more hostility than the Irish to the slav and people of color.

It was therefore | addressed a letter to the Irish | im America on the subject of negro slavery.

Hear :—(We quote from the Boston organ _of the Abolitionists:—) Grand Meerine IN Faxevit Haun. Agreeably to public notice, a meeting of the friends of Universal Liberty, who sympathize with the American slave and with the oppressed people of Ireland, was held in the Old Cradle of Liberty, in Boston, on Saturday eve- ning, Nov. 18, 1843, for the purpose of considering the ‘Addvees of the Loyal National Repeal Aseocistion sf Ire- land, on subject of American Slavery, written by Daniel O'Connell, in reply to a vindication of Slavery sent to that body by the pro-slavery Repealers of Cincinnati. The Hall was well filled by a highly intelligent and respectable auditory, among whom were many ladies, and a large number of our Irish fellow citizens. The Hall was tastefully decorated with a number of banners, on which were painted very ‘appropriate anti slavery mottoes ; on the table was placed the great Iris dives, signed by O'Connell, Father Mathew, and 70,000 others. The meeting was called to order by Francis Jackson, at Des Garrison was unanimously Mr. G., on taking the chair, was filling any vacant post in the cause of he might be called, especially so long as the unpopular one, and the post one of trial and reproach 3 40 long as there were blows to give, or blows to take, It was immaterial to him in what part of the field of conflict he stood, if he could onty be permitted to grapple with the y his words, how strong was his hatred of oppression—how sacred his regard for human rights. Oliver Johnson then presented for the consideration of the meeting the following resolutions, suggested by the Address which had been read : 1. Resolved, That this meeting, in the name of enslaved and bleeding humanity in this country, and of its friends and advocates, the abolitionists of the United States, hails with heartfelt’ admiration, the great Anti-Slavery Address 10 which e was an country: the Irish of Cincinnati, drawn up by the hand of O'Connell, adopted by the National Repeal Asso- ciation, and read’ this evening in Faneuil Hall—an ad- dress worthy the great hand that penned, and the brave and Espasa! hearts that adopted it. 2. Resolved, That it is the crowning glory of the Re limit it- self to national politics, or the wrongs of the Irish people ; but looks abroad to oppressed humanity every where, an especially and expressly to the down-trodden American slave, and zealously espouses the great movement now on for his deliverance. * i "i ved, That the only true friends of Ireland and den Irish people here and elsewhere, are in every clime, brotherhood to 5. Resolved, That the Irish ple ought to entertain a 6. Resolved, That American slavery is the deadliest larm to the hard-working Irish 7. Resolved, That as abolitionists, on this occasion, we co-operation and services of the Hibernian Anti-Slavery Society in old Dublin—where the Webbs, the Haughtona, the Allens, and the Moores, have no less signalised themvelves in the cause of American abolition- ism, than O'Connell and his coadjutors in the cause of Irish Repeal. 8. Resolved, That the Irish Liberator, in declaring at theimmense Repeal meeting at Mullaghmast, that “he liked the sympathy of every good man every where, but he wanted not the armed or obs ical support of any coun- try,” assumed an attitude equally sublime and invincible, and for that noble sentiment deserves to be applauded by all that is humane and magnanimous in the wide world. 9. Resolved, That we do not hesitate to express to our oppressed brethren in Ireland, in behalf of the abolition- ists of the United States, our most hearty wishes for their deliverance from British injustice, and forthe success of the Irish Repeal movement, by the use of all peaceful ond moral instrumentalities. 10. Resolved, That while we rejoice at the patience and forbearance of the Irish people, in resolving not to strike the first blow at their armed invaders, we would exhort them to the still higher and more magnanimous determi- nation never to strike the second blow, nor the third, nor any blow, in any possible event ; but to maintain inviola- bly the 5; , Which shall surely conquer their oppressors, and give them the great results they are seck- ing for their beloved country. 11, Whereas, Daniel O'Connell, in a glowing speech de- livered in the General Anti-Slavery Convention held in Lonton, in 1340, declared—“‘I recognize no American asa except those who belong to anti-slavery so- 1 styled the American abolitionists ‘noble and women,” adding, “I hai ior no Ligher station in the world, but I do covet the hono: of being a brother with the American abolitionists”— “they are deeply persecuted, and are deserving of every which we can possibly give them. 1 the eloquence to depict their character aright; but my tougue falters, and my powers fail. while I attempt to describe them: they are the true friends of humanity: there is not a delegate from the anti-slavery so- cieties of America, but ought to have his name. aye, her name, written in characters of ammortality: a human being cannot be placed in a more glorious position than to take up such acause, under such circumatances”— demagogues, who have peal movement here, thus marches with impudent and undisguised front to the very citadel of our liberties? But we may spare our exhortations vo duty at such a crisis. The simple facts speak in tones of thunder. They proclaim in a manner which cannot be mistaken, the approach of that torrent which now gurgling and boiling amid the ravines and recesses of the hills, will by and by sweep with resistleas fury over, the plain, strewing it far and wide with wreck and ruin, We believe there is no safety from the impending danger except in the firmness and energy of the new party—the American Republicans. To their patriotism and virtue we look for protection against this influx of foreign influence, which is gathering round it the fanatical of our own native population, and the designing, hostile, and priest-ridden bands who are yearly pouring into the country; and in this party we have hope and confidence. The American Republicans appear to have taken the Pope’s bull by the horns, and all the little bulls from the big beggarman, Dan O’Connell, in Dublin, to the little beggarman, John McKeon, in New York! Newsprarer Rerortine.—A good deal has been saidjrecently by some of fthe newspapers about newspaper reporting. The enterprise, talent and skill which we have so successfully employed in this most important department, have awakened the jealousy and envy of our contemporaries, who affect to despise and abuse that which they would willingly possess if they could—very much in the spirit of the ancient spinster who turns up her pru- dish nose at the grace, beauty, and girlish freedom of sweet sixteen. Our reports of the movements of the American Republican party—executed with great care and fidelity, and which have excited so much attention all over the Union, have been at- tacked with peculiar violence. They have been characterised as forgeries—as lies—as fudgery— every thing discreditable of which the vocabulary of the Five Points could furnish epithets. The creatures have even gone so far as to deny the very existence of the great American party, at whose meetings those speeches were delivered, and thus made themselves the laughing stock of the whole community. In relation, however, to newspaper reporting, we are enabled to present very intelligible specimens of two styles or systems—one is that accurate, faith | ful, and at the same time finished style in which the reports of the Herald are produced ; the other is that general style which gives the substance of what a speaker says, but not his exact words, and which does not aim at much elegance of execution —one is,the result of mechanical skill combined with genius and brains; the other, of mechanical skill alone. There was a meeting at the Exchange on Saturday last, asall our readers are aware, for the purpose of adopting measures to effect a reform of the present Post Office system. The Express newspaper, Which has been the principal promul- gator of the charge of forgery against our reports, employed on this occasion Mr. R. Sutton, formerly a reporter at Washington, to compete with us. We now annex specimens of the relative accuracy and fullness of the two reports:— Exrness, Gentlemen :—The gentle- men, who handed me these resolutions requested that I would follow them up with a few remarks. The sub- ject is one with which all are so familiar that I despuir ofgiving you any light w onthem. Every member in the community, of every e, sex and conditioni n the city, and in the country, are all alike interested in it, and are to be benefitted equally by any improve- meat in its details Hera Mr, Chairman:—These re- solutions were handed to me with a request that I would read them, and introduce them with a few remark: The subject is one with which all are so familiarly acquainted, that I cannot at all hope to throw any new light upon it. It is one in which every individual member of the community is interested. It is also one, in the discussion of which no partisan feeling can be en- tertained—it is entirely free from all political prejudice or tendency or feeling, and em it should be kept y dissevered. It con- cerned, as I have just said, every Onue—one sex us Weil as the other—the dwelier in | the bustling commercial ci- ty, and the inhabitant of the remotest rural district.

LLOYD GARRISON, President. Francis Jackson, Joseph Southwick, ‘Amos Farnsworth, H. I. Bowditch, { Secretaties. l Vice Presidents. J Oliver Johnson, Cornelius Bramhall, At this remarkable meeting, one of the speakers, Winvent Paittirs, Esq., made use of the follow- ing language, which furnishes a most impressive commentary on the resolutions, and on all that we have said:— Now, sir, where is the sect among all the hundreds of ourcountry, which can point to such an explicit testi- mony upon slavery and the slave trade, emanating from its head and Jeader in the present day? Not one. Sir, 1 am no Catholic. But welcome, thrice welcome any hand to help us uproot the foul system which tramples on hu- manity in our midst. Prejudice against Catholics among abolitionists! I propose three cheers for the abolitionist Pope Gregory XVI. and may they ring ‘out gloriously from these arches of Liberty's home! (Three long cheers were given with the greatest enthusiasm—all present joining.) J. Camtrnete, (an Irishman, and a member of the Boston Repeal Association,) supported the resolutions, and spoke with great severity of the conduct of those slaveholders and pro-slavery men, who pretended to bethe friends of Irish Repeal, but were doing all in their power to seduce the Irish people into the support of slavery. And take this, also, from the same paper:— O°Coxnett.’s Avpness.—This great address may be had at Cornhill, in quantities for distribution, for $1 ‘per hun- dred.

And thus the public can at once learn where the real talent in reporting exists—where it is to be found, and where it has been. But, indeed, the public have learned all that long ago. We have repeatedly shown that in accuracy, fidelity and despatch, our reporting department is unequalled in this country—and it is impossible for any paper in the city, or out of it, to compete with us. Our ar- rangements are of such anature that we will retain our superiority in this respect. And as for the miserable creatures who characterize our reports of the eloquent and patriotic speeches at the American Republican meetings, as forgeries, they will find out to their sorrow next April that they have had most substantial reality.

On Wednesday the Third Ward meets: and on Thursday the Fourth Ward assemble at the Shakespeare Hotel. At all these places there will be overwhelming meetings, which will be fuily re- | ported in the Herald, Ole Bull—His first Appearance, Chevalier Ole Bull’s first appearance in the new world took place on Saturday night, before one of the most crowded and fashionable audiences ever collected in the Parx Theatre. Great as was the furore excited once by the arrival of Malibran, and latterly by that of Elssler, it was on thegnight before last transcended. Burst after burst of applause fol- lowed in quick succession, and the enthusiasm of the audience would scarcely have been exceeded at Saint Carlos in Naples, in Vienna, or at La Scala in Milan. The artist himself seemed to catch the excitement, and we venture to say, never did greater justice to his theme and his instrument. Saturday night is usually an unfavorable one for concerts and other public amusements, and we may therefore imagine from the crowd of the first night what may be expected at the next two con- certs, which will take place on Wednesday and on Friday next. The selection of music was doubtless carefully made. In the second piece, 1 cor non pits mi sento the diminuendo and crescendo, surpassed everything we had conceived of—and notes flowed from the violin which we had conceived it incapable of ut- tering. The unearthly, fairy-like sounds he drew from his in strument, seemed to lull the house like a magic spell—like the soft tones from another world, breaking upon earth at last. The Polacca was brilliant and stirring, and the wild character of the music gave full scope to the artist’s energy and power. ‘The curtain fell with a thun- der of applause, from pit, boxes and orehestra, un- equalled in our memory any where—either in Bu- rope or America. The instrument on which Ole Bull played is a curious musical relic in itself. During the early part of the 16th century a violin was made by the famed Gasparo Lisarde, for Cardinal Aldobandini, in his best style ; the head was designed and carved in the most beautiful manner by Benvenuto Cellini, with mythic figures representing the musical goddess and her attendants ; the fret-board and sounding- board are beautifully inlaid in mosaic of pearl and ebony. This instrument was sold by the heirs of the Cardinal to a person who carried it to Inspruch, and at the taking of that city by the French army in 1809, it became part of the booty of a dragoon, by whom it was sold toa Funatico per la musica, in Vienna, who could not be induced to part with it, though incredible sums had been offered for it. Chevalier Bull, being some few years ago in Vienna, wished to purchase At, but was as unsuccessful as others had been; finaly, however, its possessor promised that if he would give fifteen concerts in that city he should have the pre-emption of the violin at his death, The Chevalier complied with his wishes, and the proprietor dying soon after, be- queathed the instrument to him to whom it should belong. On. this violin. the principal part of the Saturday night’s entertainments were executed. . No artist ever appeared before the American pub- lic with such favorable prestiges. Young, graceful, accomplished beyond the mere bounds of his art, and, moreover, an enthusiastic partisan of liberty and free institutions, and ason of the freest people in Europe, we foresee that his passage thropgt the land will be one of continual trumph. Yet he has ee the AAD of ere ioe Bull, in the theatres of Europe, wears the glittering cross of Gustaf Wasa, of which order he was made Cheva- lier by Bernadotte, the reigning King of Sweden. The millions of glorious republican sovereigns of this mighty land have no golden crosses or diamond breastplates to bestow, but they have hearts, souls, enthusiasm, feelings, and, above all, the “Al: mighty dollar,” which they will lavish upon genius and originality of every kind as much as the mo- narchs of Europe. Ole Bull defies criticism. Pa- ganini is gone, and all comparison between the two is therefore futile; yet, though the great Italian’s pay, rival, none scems to yenerate his genius more highly than Ole Bull, who, in akind of religious re- spect, never trespasses upon those peculiarities which were his invention, and became his peculiar lomain. The Chevalier’s peculiar power lies in his earnestness in his deep northern intensity—in his faculty of carrying away the hearts of hearers ina manner that no artist has done before. Even Paganini astonished more than he delighted; and Sivory, whom -we heard last summer in Europe, and who is the first among the French artists, we listen to with wonder, and are satisfied, but feel no enthusiasm. i The next Concert will take place on Wednesday evening, the programme of which is— ii 1. Cantabile Doloroso and Rondo Giocoso, com- posed by Ole Bull. it Quartetto per Violino Solo, composed by Ole ull. 3. Adazio from Mozart, in quartetto. 4. Fantasie and Bravouré Variazoni, from themes of Bellini, composed by Ole Bull. Sm:— .

The most probable thing is that our mo- ney articles are written and dictated by Queen Victoria, Sir Robert Peel, Daniel O’Connell, Louis Philippe, or the devil. Our friend, Col. Webb, thinks they proceed from the Peel cabinet, and he is pro- bably as near the truth as Timothy. Seriously. however, it is a study to observe how the publica’ tion of the truth, the whole truth, on finance and all other subjects, is received by those mean, paltry, sneaking rascals, who live on humbug and decep- tion. We have done the age some service in our day to enlighten the public on the mysteries of trade, finance, politics, and religion, and we have yet a harvest before us with plenty of reapers in the field. Wait and see what we will do. From the commencement of the Herald up to this day, we ourself planned, devised and superintended all our money articles, besides actually writing nearly one half of the whole series. The other individuals who have been engaged to assist us in that period of time, have had the merit of understanding our views, and reporting correctly our ideas, principles and systems—that is all. And this broad fact the public will find out in due time. that # jonorable New Catnoun Movement.—It is really a pity to see the manner in which John C. Calhoun is com- promising his interests in this quarter, in allowing himself to be taken up and supported by a parcel of o'd women in breeches, who are as ignorant of the teal state of popular feeling upon the ensuing presi- dentialelection, as they are unacquainted with all practical knowledge of life. Who are the leaders of the Calhoun party who are now vainly attempting to get up a District Dele- tion to the Baltimore Convention, to defeat the nomination of Martin Van Buren? They are a clique of small literary gentry, who in the winter season may usually be found in their dressing gowns around their sea-coal fires,reading the latest novela, or, perhaps, attending some elegant soirée; and in the summer season you may see them at the fashion- able watering places, driving upon the sea shore, or laying off at great length beneath some piazza or shady tree. Itis a charity to Mr. Calhoun to advise him to separate his fortunes from such cliques. If these are his friends, ke may well say, “Save me from my friends.” He may rest assured that he has no possible chance of receiving the nomination by the democratic party, and that Martin Van Buren is as certain to be nominated by the Convention at Balti- more, as that Convention is to meet. Sut although Van Buren should be nominated, yet there is another element in operation which should not be forgotten, and which may set them all upon their beam ends. Let them remember that “Young America” is in motion. Exrexpivo.—-Express lines, like Harnden & Adams, are extending at the South. Ball & Co run one between Macon & Savannah.

Cheever, Pastor of the Allen street Presbyterian Church, delivered last evening the first of a series of Sabbath evening lectures upon the “Pilgrim’s Progress,” and the life and times of its author, John Bunyan. ‘The lec- ture was delivered in the Allen street church, which was crowded to overflowing ; there could not have beenZless than 2,000 people, who were attracted thither by the announcement of this course of lectures. - The subjeet of the lecture last evening, was prin- cipally Lg! ein which Baayen flourished. ‘This was from to an age at and stirrin; events in the history of England bee 8 in this: - that we find Charles the Ist, Cromwell, Charles the 2d, Russell and Algernon Sydney, who were mur- dered, St. Bartholomew’s ays the statutes against the Society of Friends, the Act of Conformity, the Conventicle Act, the Great Plague, and numerous other events, which were comriige cause any one to curse the union of Church and State. It was an age to develope great deeds—to call out eet intellect, great perseverance, energy, and forti- tude. The age of Bunyan, whose birth was 12 ears after Shakspeare’s death, was the age of ilton, Baxter, Owen, Howe, Paol, Goudwin, Archbishops Usher and Hall. These are specimens of the unexampled richness of the age in which Bunyan lived, who, in point of originality, was far before them all. Bunyan’s Pilgrim’s e88 18 far superior to every other uninspired production. Bunyan knew scarcely any book but the Bible—he knew no logic, and yet he wrote a book that is fill- ed with the sweet logic of celestial love. Mr. C. dwelt much upon Bunyan’s first work, entitled “Grace Abounding.” He then took up, consecu- tively, a number of pointsin Bunyan’s life, illustrat- ing the grace of God in preparing him for his great work, the Pilgrim’s Progress Ist.

A Great Fivancier in THE State Prison.— ‘Wyman, the Boston Bank President, has been convicted at Lowell, and it is said has been sen- tenced to labor seven years in the State Prison. This is only a drop in the ocean of justice. Why cannot the same justice overtake the defaulters, thieves, and all other rogues, who have plundered so many other banks and public institutions all over the country ? In this latitude, you can see scoundrels, much worse than Wyman, driving up and down Broadway—visiting fashionable resorts, attending concerts, calling themselves respectable, and absolutely looking down upon honest men as below them in every point of view. He who steals a pair of old breeches to cover his nakedness is a thief, and is sent to the penitentiary for six months} he who steals $20,000, $100,000, or $500,000, is an amiable, unfortunate man—visits London and Paris for a year—then returns to New York, and is respectable for his whole life. More Boston Buve Law.—It appears by the Boston papers, that a bigoted portion of the jury which sat in the trial of Messrs. Redding & Co., for sellingjnewspapers, &c., upon the Sabbath, were not content with disagreeing, but had the indiscre- tion and folly to desire the court to put on its files a written document, signed by themselves alone, in which they express the opinion that the defen- dants ought to be convicted. The court very pro- perly refused to file their private opinions, which, in this case, are worth no more than any other people’s private opinions. Such bigotry and superstition would do very well for the days when the Boston folks, or their neighbors, used to have witches, and solemnly chastise their beer barrels for fomenting upon Ssadays, but they are hardly in accordance with the spirit of the present age. { We are under obligations to Adams & Co. for items of news, and Boston papers in advance of the mail. ‘Tne Boarp or ALDERMEN meet to-night. The establishment of a Work House on Blackwell's Island is the order of the day. The reform of the police—the removal of the Gas House from Centre street, in accordance with an ordinance already passed—and the taking up of the railroad track of the Harlem Company below Broome and the Bow- ery, will be left till next spring for the American Republicans to accomplish. ConeresstonaL Exxctions.—There is again no choice in either the fourth or fifth districts in Maine. Accipent on THE Harem Rar. Roap.—Yester- day evening as the train was coming from Harlem, in passing through the tunnel, a man named Ed- ward Curry, a native of Ireland, was run over and so severely injured that he is not expected to live. Both his legs were cut clean off. Accident on THE Norwicn ano Worcester Rattroap.—As the New York train for Boston was passing Planefield depot, on Saturday morning, about 5 o’clock, it came in contact with a plat- form car, which threw the engine and tender off the track, doing considerable injury. We under- stand the car was placed on the track by some per- son without the knowledge of any of the agents of the corporation, by forcing the switch and moving it from the turnout where itstood. No person was injured. The train proceeded to Boston after a detention of four or five hours. Arrest or Curis Litty.—This man, who it will be recollected, fought a prize fight in Westchester county about a year ago, with McCoy, who died from the injuries he received in the battle, surren- dered himself in New Orleans on the 16th inst. to answer any charge which may be brought against him. Lilly had just arrived from Liverpool, and would leave that city along with “Cockney Bill,” arrested there for murdering a man in this city, and for whom an officer was daily expected to arrive. Lilly expressed himself willing to go without await- ing the formality of a requisition. Mr. Vanentine’s Manvat.—The Manual of the Corporation of this city, composed by D. T.

Dr. Antuon’s Virar..—Dr. Anthon, so deser- vedly distinguished for his ripe classical erudition, and for the numerous valuable additions to classi- cal literature which he has made within a few past years, has just given the world a new edition of the “* AEneid of Virgil,” published by the Har- pers. The present volume contains merely the Eneid, vires Eclogues and Georgics having been reserved for a separate work. This isa judi- cious arrangement, as the Georgics are seldom read in our preparatory schools, and, therefore, not ne- ceasary to be bound up with the Auneid. The text of this edition is based upon Heyne, with all the latest improvements, and new readings of the best authorities. Dr, Anthon has added copious Eng- lish _ notes, ical and explanatory, a metrical clavis, and an historical, geographical, and mytho- eal index. The notes contain all that is of ue in the commentaries of the latest European editors, such as Nohden, Heinrick, Hohler, Thiel Forbiger, Valpy, and ope ially of Heyne and Wagner. The text of Virgil occupies but rages, while the editor’s notes alone occupy 600; the balance of the work is devoted to a lexico- graphical account, of persons, places, &c., men- tioned in the original. These copious notes, tov sether with the highly attractive typographical exe- sution by the publishers, sil superior either for mblished. We may at the in iumerous eketchings of antiquities, not es in the ext, which greatly facilitate a clear elucidation of he author. We yeuture to predict that, in our weparatory. schools throughout the country, Dr. \nthon’s edition of Virgil will supercede all others. ireat credit is also due to the Harpers for the very superior style in which the mechanical work has been executed, render t'vis edition of Vir- al or teacher to any ever faa that the “notes” contain 2 5 BY THE SOUTHERN MAIL —— Philadelphia, {Correspondence of the Herald.} Pumapetruta, Noy. 26, 1843.

James Gorvon Benner, Esq.— Dear Sin— The meeting held at “Our House,” Lfbrary street, last evening, by request of Morton Mc- Michael, Esq., High Sheriff of the County of Phila. delphia, was largely attended. The chair was oc- cupied by William C. Patterson, Lieut. Colonel of the 102d regiment of volunteer infantry, and cap- tain of the volunteer corps of Washington Blues; Major John Jordan, of the 96th regiment Pennsyl- vania militia, acted as secretary. The Sheriff, in a spirited address, stated the object of the meeting, referred to the frequent disturbances and violent breaches of the public peace that had lately oc- curred, and hoped efficient means would be taken by the meeting to devise a law which will prevent their recurrence. Col R. M. Lee made a few re- marks,who was followed by Maj. Thomas T. Firth, Bnigade Inspector of the city, who. in_an eloquent appeal, urged an immediate organization of a, vo- lunteer posse, and upon his suggestion a committee of fifteen was appointed te practire the names of citizens who are willing to aid the proper authori- ties in the suppression of riots and the maintenance of the public peace. The committee were also de- puted, in conjunction with the Sheriff, with the bu- sineas of preparing a code of rules for the perma- nent government of the contemplated posse, and were authorised, on obtaining a sufficient number, of signatures, to publishthem in the newspapers.— Tam inclined to lieve the course now pursued will be attended with good results, and 1 hope be the means of maintaining peace and good order in future among the firemen and all others who for- get their duty as men and as faithful citizens. a Oe ith of Mr. John Unruh, Chest- nut, near Tenth street, was entered on Friday night by boring through the back basement door. “Some. valuable property, consisting of fifteen pieces of plate and a large oeaaiite of wearing apparel car- ried off. The burglars did not leave Mr. U. even ahat. The silver spoons that were taken were marked A. 8. ¢ Another daring and impudent robbery was com mitted yesterday morning about 7 o’clock, at the grocery store of Messrs. Wilson & Co., 6th street, nearly opposite Minor street, which is the boldest that has taken place for some time. It seems that at any early hour the store was opened by the por- ter, who having some business to attend to else- where, stepped out for a few minutes. During his absence two colored men came along with aeheel. borrow; perceiving no one on the. premises, they commenced loading the barrow with goods which had been put up for an order. These consisted of two chests of tea, worth $50, a bag of rice, one of cloves, one of nutmegs, and two bottles of sweet oil. _ Having got as much as could be conveniently carried, they started off down the street. A person who had been watching them, informed the porter on his return, of the transaction. They immediate- ly went in pursuit, overtook the thieves at the cor- ner of 7th and Carpenter streets, and succeeded in arresting one; the other escaped. On the road to the police office, he drew a knife, but was prevent- ed from using it. He was brought before Mayor Scott, and gave his name as Thomas Thomas. After a hearing he was committed to prison. Exercises of a very interesting nature took place esterday afternoon at the ‘‘ raising” of anew pub- ic school house, corner of Camac street and the railroad, located on the uew township of Penn, in the Eleventh School section. The immediate Controller of Public Schools from that part of the school district, Jacob Heyberger, Esq., hadepre- red for the workmen and all engaged in the Puilding of the new school house, a, profuse and sumptuous repast, which was set out in an elegant manner at his hospitable mansion in the immediate vicinity of the grounds about to be poateaed for wiblic school purposes, and to partake of which Rad also, been invited the Controller and several of the Directors of the Public Schools of the First District, and a number of citizens. After those as- sembled_had done full justice to the “good things” so plentifully provided, and deliciously served ay an intellectual repast of no ordinary character fol: lowed. The gentlemen who took part in these ex- ercises, and addressed those assembled, were Geo. M. Wharton, Esq., one of the Controllers from the city; Edward A. Penniman, er State Sena- tor from the county; Colonel J. McCahen, Con- troller from the fourth section {pring Garden); Professor John S. Hart, Principal of the Cen- tral High School, and Thomas B. Florence, Se- gretary of the Board of Controllers of Public Schools. The Speakers referred in a marked degree to the gratifying success of the cause of popular education in this county particularly, and also to the facili- ties now enjoyed for the education of the children of all, equally for those of the poor man as well as the rich. Some of the details given were particu- larly interestin, It was remarked that there are aow in our public schools 33,500 children receiving an education at the pabtic expense, and at an aver- age cost, including books and all supplies, of five dollars and seventeen cents per annum. These are taught by five hundred teachers, male and_ female, at salaries ranging according to their qualification. The limits allowed me are too limited to allow further notices I will, however, in a future number furnish you with information in relation to our public schools that will, I have no doubt, be partic- ularly acceptable. ; The National was crowded in every part last night for Silsbee’s benefit, and I presume will be to- morrow evening to see the new and gorgeous spec- tacle of the King of the Mist. I have seen a portion of the new scenery, which is magnificent in the ex- treme; the banners and trophies are of the most costly kind, and the melting music of the chorus- ses, which { listened to at the rehearsal last even- ing, was exquisitely beautiful. The enterprise of the industrious management should be met corres- pondingly by our citizens, and I doubt not will he—the National being now regarded as the popular house. The Italian troupe had a moderate house at the Chestnut last light. They will perform two nights more next week, after which we are to have Wallack and perhaps Booth. Of this latter gentleman, however, there seems to be no certainty, as he unexpectedly disappointed the audience and manager on Friday evening, and may do so again. “ The equestrian troupe at the Walnut “continue in the full tide of successful experiment,” having moderately fair houses on every night of perfor- mance. In addition to the religious Sabbath evening ex- ercises given yesterday, we are to have to-night at the new Jerusalem Church (Ser ccestonre nea Fifth below German street, the first chapter of Genesis explained, as “they (the Swedenbogrians) under- stand it;” at the old “ Scots Presbyterian Church” Spruce above Third street, the eloquent pastor, the, Rey.

Mr. Stockton will continue his course of sermons to young men. The anniversary of the Female Seaman’s Friend Society of Philadelphia, will be held in the Seventh Presbyterian Church, Penn Square, on Tueeday evening next. Several addresses will be delivered by popular and eloquent speakers, interested for the comfort of the poor, and often too much neglected, sailor; and the report for the present year, read. Contributions in ald of the cause will be received. The annual meeting of the friends of the Phila- delphia Theological Seminary of St. Charles ot Barremee, will be held in the basement of Saint John’s Church, Thirteenth street, above Chestnut, on Wednesday evening next. ‘the annual report of the President of the Seminary and of the Trea; surer will be read and distributed. The weather to-day is favorable to crowds at the churches, which has been the case at several of them; we have a clear and balmy atmosphere, and quite mild for the season. i oo At half past 2 0’clock this morning our citizens were aroused by loud cries of fire, and the ringing of the State House bell striking the signal for a fire south-west. It was found to proceed from a car- penter shop located in South street, near Thirteenth, which with its contents were entirely consumed. The loss, however, was inconsiderable, as the fire was confined entirely to the building in which it originated.
