NEW YORK HERALD. “New ¥ Ammnican Revuntican Movesents. gress of this party in gaining public fi so marked, so strikingly apparent, that me very seldom turn their attention to political matters begin to regard the new movement with very’great interest ;} and others, who have particular pur- poses of their own to promote, are calculating with some care how they can best take advantage of the new and original elements which are now 80 vigorously at work in this influential organisation. And this interest does not exist only in this city. Ithas extended itself all over the country. As a specimen, however, of the manner in which the movement is regarded in this city, we annex the following very curious piece of advice, put forward by the Journal of Commerce, in yesterday’s paper: To tar American Rerusticans.—What your move- ment wants now, is quiet—the preservation of your posi- tion. yu came out of the last election with honor— with the confidence of the community, and with three- fourths of the freemen ready to vote for your candidates, if you offer good ones, at the spring election, ‘The inte- rest of good men is deep in your success. They look to you to work out the renovation so long desired ‘in our ci- ty affairs. All you need desire is, to keep your position. Allow us to suggest, that you are holding too many pub- lic meetings ; yielding too much to the spirit of agitation. You are too impatient forthe contest, and this impatience is dangerous. If your enthusiasm is expended too freely now, you may it exhausted when you want it most. If your enemies can injure you in any way, it will be by coming in as over-zealous friends, hurraing for all sorts of action, when they mean only to exhaust you, and pro- duce division. Do not talk now about candidates. Allow that matter to rest until candidates are wanted, and then let the nominations come from the proper committees. ‘There is no little danger in constant action, and no possi- ble good can come of it. An overwhelming majority of the people are with you, and nothing but over-action can prevent your triumph in the spring. "Rest, then, upon ac- quired honors, until you can see the white of your ene- my’s eye. ‘When the character of the quarter from which this advice emanates, is taken into consideration, few if our readers will refuse to agree with us, that it ought hardly to he swallowed without a moment's reflection. The general reputation of the oracle in question, for disinterestedness, honesty of pur- pose, and purity of motive, being, at least 'in the regions hereabout, tolerably well understood and properly appreciated, we are spared the necessity of inculcating on the subjects of this advice, the pro- priety of exercising a little caution in receiving it. Let us then examine this piece of saintly admoni- tion. It has atone of moderation and apparent good sense, which are very well calculated to com- mend it to moderate men. But we are perfectly sa- tisfied, from the knowledge we possess of public opinion on this matter, and the movement of par- ties, that the adoption of the policy thus so tempe- rately recommended would inevitably lead to the greatest disaster. We cordially agree with the Journal of Commerce that the American Re- publicans should keep their position. But how is this to be done? Why, the dullest man in the party, albeit we hardly believe there is a dull man amougst them—knows that to stand still, to lay quietly down and snore comfortably till next spring, as recommended by this sleek adviser, would not be just altogether the best method of retaining their present proud position. No; with all party organi- zations, especially with new ones, it is action— constant action—never standing still, but continually pressing onward, which ensures success, and even existence. Rest,” says the Journal of Com- merce, “rest in acquired honors.” There could not be imagined a more suicidal policy. And the American Republicans know that. They are very far from being the men to sleep on their posts, and waste in inglorious inaction the precious time which their opponents will wisely employ in con- centrating their forces, and maturing their plans, so as to come to the field next spring well prepared for the decisive conflict. Why, even already one of the old corrupt factions is in the field. We per- ceive that the locofocos of the Sixteenth Ward have commenced their operations, with the view of procuring, as they say in the old hypocritical | slang of the factions—* the triumph of democratic | principles at the next election.” And itis at such a time that the wise and friendly Journal of Com- merce advis “* Young Americans” to fold its arms, and “ rest on acquired honors” Bah!” The true policy of the new party is very apparent. Unceasing exertion—a regular succession of pub- lic meetings—constant appeals to public opinion— discretion, unity, the utmost harmony in all their proceedings—this is their course, and if strictly ob- served, it will infallibly conduct them to success the most triumphant at the next Charter Election. There is no fear of the popular excitement wearing itself out. There is no danger of the public interest flag- ging, unless, indeed, the destructive policy of the Journal of Commerce be adopted, even in the most partial extent. Quiet and inaction, would in a month prostrate the party. Every one ct all ac- quainted with the history of parties, is aware that when oncea body of men undertake the accom- ork, Tuceday, November 28,1843, vor has been whe _for “the better protection of literary property.” Internationa.

The only exception was the first reception and subsequent nights of | of Macready, which was only an exception—the gen- eral rule being, the legitimate drama and empty certainly a good deal of a curiosity in its way. It is chiefly composed of very violent declamation, poured out with a most orthodox puritanical snuffle against the entire mass of the current cheap literature of the day. We think that the address is the production of some disappointed penny-a-liner, who has attempted to rival some popular author on the other side of the water, and who has been rather unfortunate in convincing the ‘dear public” of his surpassing ability. In this “address” the whole mass of the cheap literature of the day is included in one fierce and sweeping malediction. It is evil, and only evil, in the eyes of the Solon to whom the Club have en- trusted the work of presenting their sentiments to the American people. He represents the republica- tion here of European works of fiction, as a busi- ness dishonest, demoralizing, utterly subversive of every thing that is pure and lovely and of good re- port—-and contrasts, with virtuous indignation, this state of things in the literary world, and that which existed in those days of blissful ignorance, when i “the Bible and the almanac,” constituted the famn- | 4 19". aaurepe on he laa aael pescpiweill les ly library of thousands throughout the land.

Organization of a Work House,—This subject being set down as the first business of the evening, Alderman Wa- renMAN, chairman of the committee, called up the ordi- nance reported on that subject. | Alderman Scocrs said that there was an ordinance alrea- | ay adopted, which authorised the employment of able bo- | | died paupers, and he therefore could not see the necessity | assing os new law merely to create office holders. | Iderman Wars naan said that the ordinance alluded to | Was not complete, and the present one was introduced to supply what was wantin Alderman Scoxns said that as long as the paupers were allowed to vote, they would have little more work to do under this ordinance than those already in existence. Alderman Lre said that poverty was no crime, and he hoped he should never see the day when any man would be deprived of his vote bec: he was poor." He believed that if these men were compelled to work, many of them would leave the Work House and support themselves. Alderman Tirrov made a few remarks, and the ordi- nance was taken up. It oreates the fy toned of a Superintendent of the Work House, at $: r annum, and places the paupers under his charge and jurisdiction, subject to the rules | and regulations of the Alms House Commissioners. Alderman Woopnvuct offered an amendment, allowing the Commissioners to give a sum not over ten per cent. of the earings of each pauper when he leaves the Work louse. Alderman Lex sustamed the amendment. Alderman Watraman said it would be difficult to esti- mate the earnings in any so a8 todetermine the amount to begiven, and also the per centage as pro- sed was too high. He was in favor of the principle, but did uot think this amendment would reach it, dhe thought they had better wait we was in operation, and then they could judge better how to apply the principle. Alderman Lee offered an amendment allowing the pau- persauch pay for extra labor, as the commissioners may fhink fit on their discharge. Alderman Scoxxs offered one allowing the commis- sloners to give them, on discharge, not over 15 {per cent of their earnings, after deducting one dollar per week for their board andiclothes. Alderman Emmans said he thought the work house would be filled with peered who would jump at the offer of 15 per cent of their earnings, with but one dollar per week for board and clothes. «Alderman Ematans moved that all the amendments be laid on the table, which was carried by a vote of 8 to 6. This carried with it the original resolution introduced by Alderman Woodhull. Alderman Purpy offered an additional section com- pelling the Superintendent to make a monthly ‘report to the Alms House Commissioners, of the property in his n, and purchases made, and a fimfler report to ¢ Common Council every quarter. Adopted, and the ordinance was then passed. Cleaning streets. lerman Exmans called up the or- dinance making amendments and alterations in the ordi- profitable works have been republished and ex- tensively circulated here, we know very well, but the general character of the republicationshas been meritorious, and the influence of their wide diffu- sion been highly beneficial. A taste for literature has been thus created at ten thousand firesides where it was formerly an utter stranger, and a thirst for knowledge and intellectual nutriment of all kinds been universally created amongst the masses. The people must and will be supplied with cheap literature. In the present circumstances of the country it is absurd to attempt any legislative enactments prohibiting the introduction of the lit- erature of the old world,—the people will have it, they ought to have it, and unsuccessful penny-a- liners here may as well submit with a good grace to to thier destiny. Crry Arrairs.—In the Board of Aldermen, last evening, an ordinance to establish a Work House on Blackwell’s Island, for paupers from the Alms House, was adopted. Amendments to the street contract were adopted, giving power to the Super- intendent of Streets to employ such force as will be necessary to cleanse the streets and remove garbage and ashes. The Mayor's veto against paying the watchmen an additional sum of twenty-five cents per night, since May last, was called up, but not being printed, no action was made. An appropria- tion of $100,000 to the payment of the mil tax for 1843, and $36,000, for common schools, was asked for by the Comptroller, but referred to the Finance Committee. Alderman Purdy introduced a reso- lution giving the Mayor an increased temporary | power to extent the aid of the police in the sup- pression of crime, until some definite action is made as regards the present system of police, which was adopted. Anotuer ‘“ConTINGENCY” IN PRosrect.—It is stated in some of the papers, that Captain Tyler was very sick at Washington, and required the atten- dance of two physicians. The sickness of the Cap- tain does not astonish us. It was to be expected. The poor man has had so much to agitate, harrass, and annoy him—he has been so overwhelmed with trouble—his mind been so distressed in searching amonst the great variety of democratic parties for the true one, which, after all, he could not disco- ver, that we should not be at allsurprised if he were to die of pure vexation of spirit. No man has, per- haps, ever suffered so much trouble in the Presiden- cy ase. If, however, he should now follow the venerable Harrison, another very curious state of things would be presented. In that case the Speaker of the House of Representatives, would, according to the provisions of the constitution become, de facto, the President, till an election. Now, accor- ding to all appearances, the Speaker of the next House of Representatives will be most likely a Van plishment of some great object, so long as they keep their eyes fastened on that object, the excitement never ceases until the gaol is reached. Letthe new party, then, keep up their meetings—their ward meetings—their mass meetings—their monster meetings. Let them agitate. There are ample materials for them in this city on which to operate. If they had a meeting every night, they could not exhaust the topics of eloquent denunciation and exposure which the corruptions and vices of the two hitherto dominant factions have supplied by their conduct during the last twenty years. Above all, let the American Republicans keep their attention closely fixed on the achievement of municipal re- form. Let them remember that to them and to them alone, we look for clean streets—a good po- lice—a reduction of taxation—and, in fine, an eco- | nomical, just and efficient administration of the | city government in all its departments. ‘This e true advice; and “Young America” knows its worth, and will take it. ‘Tne Mormons anv tHe Nexr Presipency.— The Mormons hold the balance of power in Illi- Buren man, and an ultra Van Buren man; aad in case of his stepping into the Presidency, what a scattering there would be amongst the present office- holders, some of whom are Clay men, some of them Tyler men, and some of them locofocos of all sorts of complexion, and some of them speckled. We present this contingency merely for the purpose of speculation, and shall wait to hear the next ac- counts from Washington, when we shall see whe- ther they be confirmatory or the reverse of the pos- sible occurrence of the state of things on which we have been speculating. Tue Nivra Warp America’ another glorious meeting last night, at their head- | quarters, corner of Hudson and Christopher streets. The excitement continues unabated—nay, it in- creases with a rapidity perfectly surprising. Many of the oldest and best citizens of the ward, and who have heretofore been prominent members of the whig and locofoco factions, were present at this meeting. Mr. Whitney and others delivered spirit- stirring addresses. The advice to desist from agi- tation was pointedly alluded to by the speakers, Rerveiicans had | goes on thus:— “Tho js not given, but a friend who pretends to know, thus:—Mad. Calve has been living for some ime in New Orleans with a gentleman, as his wife, and was devoted to him in her affections. Finally he agreed to wed her when she returneé from her engagements in the east. While in this city she permitted a German mer- chant, Mr. F. , to pay considerable attention to her. It reached,the ear of her jealous fiance, who ordered her instantly to return—she sold her stage jewels, &c., to Charlotte Cushman—started for New Orleans—found her intended indignant and indifferent—and in a fit of distrac- tion atthe change, swallowed poison. The rest is known. ‘What a thing is love! P. 8.—Au contraire, the Diamond of the 16th sa Mad. Calve is in good health and spirits—alive, of course, and as beautiful as ever. We saw her yesterday, pricing a faulard silk. She goes to France soon. Mercantite Lrsrary Assocration.—It being six weeks before the annual election, the Associa- tion met last evening and appointed the following committee to nominate officers for the ensuing year. 1, Thomas W. Grason with Ferguson and Walker. 2. Henry R. Prall with A. F. Stewart. 3. John 'T. Rollins with Aymar & Co. 4. Pearce Darrow with P. & H. Van Ness. 5. Henry R. Dexter with Wetmore & Co. Terry Bates with 8. Draper, Jr. 7. James McLean with Van Arsdale & Co. There were but very few members present, and those but a few minutes, the business being done promptly and without debate.

These rascals have destroyed several in Dorchester, in- cluding twenty or thirty cattle, and have threaten- ed to visit Quincy and other places. Such unwel- come visiters should be shot down instanter. It is supposed that these barn burners are engaged in their midnight enterprise to carry out the agrarian principles as they existed in Rome a long time ago. Nrsio’s.—A majority of the fashionable audience last night consisted of ladies; the entire entertain- ments gave the greatest possible satisfaction. Mr. Turner’s feats of horsemanship on six horses were the grand feature of the evening, we understand that even in Europe this has never been attempted, the rest of the equestrian acts, elicited the unquali- fied approbation of the audience. No person but those who have visited the new circus, can form a just conception of the extraordinary transformation the establishment has undergone ; carpeted lobbies and stoves, contribute greatly to the comfort of the audiences who visit this popular and fashionable resort. The entertainments of last evening are to be repeated to-night. Cuatuam Tueatre.—One of the greatest hits of modern times has been the production of the ster- ling drama of the Mysteries of Paris. The piece is, like the original drama, replete with scenes and incidents of the most fearful and exciting interest ; and is one which must keep for a long time posses- sion of the stage. Aside from the merits of the drama—in which the author, Mr. Greeley, has emi- | nently distinguished himself—the pleasing efiect given to each part by the several performers, stamps it as a production of merit—and one which cannot be easily erased from the preferent choice of the theatre-going community. Messrs. Hield, Stevens, Jamison, Scott, and Mrs. Herring and Mrs. Judah, have severally distinguished themselves as artists of excellent merit, and should, for their efforts in this one instance, claim the favor and esteem of the public in future. The drama will to-night be re- peated, with also the second appearance of the nance creating the Department of cleaning streets. ‘Alderman Truiov opposed any alterations, as he deemed the praene plan entirely inefficient. ‘Alderman Punpy said that the plan had not been fully put in operation, but desired to know the improvements of the gentleman of the sth. Alderman Nasu said he was in favor of the contract s tem, and he hoped that it would be given out in eight con- racts. Aldermen Purpy said that the contract system had been condemned by the people. ‘ A resolution to lay on the table was lost by a vote of 8 0 8. The amendments were then offered as follows :— To section 9th, authorises the Superintendent of Streets to employ as many carts as are necessary to remove the dirt from the streets at fourteen shillings per day—and also to cause ash carts to pass through each street} three times a week, from the month of November to May, and carts to remove all garbage and offal. The other amend- ments allow him to sell all the manure, rubbish and gar- bage collected, with the approval of the Comptroll appoint seven Inspectors of Manure at $1,50 per day, an to employ as many men as are necessary for all the objects ofcleansing the streets. As also, to give power to the Street Inspectors in the several wards to employ men suf- | ficient to accomplish the necessary work, as follows:— Sweepers. Cartmen. Price per load . 18 7 ey 5 12; 6 4 eaaaves Ww - 10 12 whole expense not to exceed $200 per annum. 13 12 4 12, 18: abon 18; $175 per day 16 The'workmen to receive $1" per day forjtheir services, and to be employed ten hours exclusive of time for meals. Paying the Watchmen.—Alderman Brisas called up the | report of the special committee relative to the payment of | the watchmen the extra sum of twenty-five cents per night oaaay last, as also the veto of the Mayor on that subject. ‘The Clerk stated that the message was still in the hands of the printer, and the taking up was therefore withdrawn, <Appropriations—A communication was received from the Comptroller, asking for the following appropriations : | State ) Tax. 000 Markets... . $137,997 ‘The report was referred to the Committee on Finance. Sewer from the City Hotel—A report to allow Chester Jennings to construct a sewer from the City Hotel tothe sewer m Cedar street, at his own expense, was adopted and coneu: in, Lighting Boweryfrom Sixth Averue to Union ‘The Committee on Lamps and Gas reported in favor of the measure, and asked a concurrence with the other ‘Adopted. Police Reform—Alderman Purpy offered the” following resolution :— Resolved, That his Honor the Mayor be authorised to employ such additional services of the Police and Watch Departments as will, in his opinion, afford ample protec- tion to the persons and property of the citizens. Said ad- ditional Police and Watch Departments to continue until amore efficient police system shall be adopted by the Common Council. Alderman Waterman said he was in favor of the mea- sure, as the office of the Public Administrator was broken open and robbed of $100 of the public money, and unles+ some measures were adopted soon there was no knowing where these burglaries would end. Alderman Titov said, there were not over 200 watch- men on duty at any one time in this great city to protect the public, and he therefore was in favor of taf measure that would tend to suppress crime until some further ac- tion could be made. ‘The Board then adjourned till Menday next. City Intelligence. Police Office —Monday, Nov. 27—Annest oF Gvutcx, tue Munitra Fine Coutecton.—Yesterday afternoon this man entered the dwelling house of Ebenezer Peck, 87 Franklin street and seized a bureau containing the cloth- ing of Mrs. Peck, which he was about removing, when she expostulated with him on the outrage of the act, and de- sired that he would give her time to remove the clothing which he positively refused. She then sent a servant to the police office for assistance, when officers Brown and Mekibben were deputed for that purpose. They foun’ Gulick and a carman, named Philip C. Van Valen, in the act of removing the property, alledging that they had levi- ed wy it for a militia fine. As soon as the officers en- tered the house they were seized by these men, and most violently choked and abused, but were eventually rescued wnd in default of bail Gulick and the carman were lodged in prison. How long are the com- munity to submit to the onerous exactions of this mi- | litia fine collector, or shall they make common cause against him and those who act ax his employers, aud thus rid the community of his presence. We understand that he is a resident of New Jersey, and it is most Viet as we do not believe that any resident of this city would en- gage ina business so universally dispised. Emarzztement.—A man, named Alfred Lovett, recently Literary Notices, New York Grxe Civp.—This isa volume con- taining one hundred glees, quartettes, trios, songs ed, and harmonized, with an ad libitum ac- companiment for the piano forte, by George Loder, principal of the N. Y. Vocal Institute. is very beautifully executed by the Langleys, 57 Chatham street. We hail the appearance ot this convenient size, and not from copper plate engrav- ings, but from ordinary printer’s type. We have often wondered that popular songs are not more frequently published with the music. Sight singing is an art easily learned, and, in fact, very exten- sively. practiced throughout the country. But al- though song books are common enough, there are thousands of the best songs, the music to which is unknown to the mass of singers, who could read the notes with perfect ease if they were only acces- sible at a moderate price. Piano music is too expen- sive for the people generally, and not of convenient form. Everyone remembers the immense sale which Mr. Leaviti’s “ Christian Lyre” had a fewyears ago. We hope the Langleys will go on and give us a multitude of the good old English, Scotch, Irish and other songs, harmonized ina popular form, ant from the printer’s press. In the meantime, seg may be sure the present volume will meet with all the encouragement which its excellent execution deserves. This volume is one of the most desirable books in the world for a family of brothers and sis- ters, and even parents, who are fond of family sing- ing ; and we cannot conceive of a more delightful sight than the use of it around the domestic fireside. We recommend it with great satisfaction. Opp Fetiows’ Orrerina, 1844—Edited by Pas- chal Donaldson, and published by Henry D. Loomis, 107 Fulton street This annual presents a very beautiful and fascinating exterior, the binder hay- ing displayed unusual taste and neatness. It is em- bellished with eleven engravings, some of them very beautiful, especially “A Spanish Scene.”— The contents of the Offering are varied and rich, emanating from such writers as Barnard, Halleck, Gardiner, Hatch, Lewis, Adee, Howes, &c. It is one of the neatest and prettiest annuals of the sea- son, and all the ‘‘ Odd Fellows,” and even ones, too, for that matter, should buy it for their cheres amies.

James Gorpon Bennett, Esq. :— | AR SiR i— |. Inoticed on Thuedsy. that the U. S. Steam frigate Princeton would be stationed off Walnut | street wharf the next day, to permit our citizens an | opportunity of examining this beautiful specimen oF naval architecture. In consequence of inability | to get her ready for that purpose, we have not had | the opportunity of inspecting or visiting this splen- did vessel. n, to-morrow (Tuesday) however, the Princeton will come up the river, and be an- chored off Walnut street, wharf for the purpose above mentioned. She will remain during the day, and on Thureday will proceed to sea with the U.S | frigate Raritan, whose destination for the present | is your ce The Princeton will proceed imme- | diately to Washington. | On Friday some fiends, in human. shape, in the most brutal manner, committed a violent outrage Spon ‘William Boon, a resident of Blocklay town- ip. The circumstances are degrading to human nature, and are only recorded to show what brutes there are inthe world. The persons who attacked Boon were boatmen, four in number, (which plain- ly shews their cowardice) whom he ‘had assisted in raising their boat, which was sunken in the river Schuylkill, near the Permanent bridge, For this act 0 kindness’ they assaulted him with blows, and kicked him inthe boy and face, knocking out, with the exception of one, all the teeth in his upper and lower jaws. His face exhibitsa most ; frightful appearance, being one mass of contu- sions from forehead to neck, beside being in great pain, arising from the blows inflicted on his body. The scoundrelswho committed the shame- ful_act escaped. ‘Two young men, named Thomas Knowles and William Miller, were arraigned before the Mayor this morning charged with riot and disturbance of the public peace in the neighborhood of Schuylkill and Sixth and Chestnut streets, yesterday (Sunday) afternoon. After a hearing, the Mayor held them to bai,| each in four hundred dollars, to answer at the QuarterSessions, ‘ A lady of the pavé living in Spring Garden, in a fit of jealousy or anger, swallowed corrosive subli- mate on Friday during the day, and paid for her folly by taking her departure from this world on Saturday evening. I have only ascertained the fact without the particulars, of which I will, if possible, inform you. f : As a matter of information to those having busi- ness in our District Court, I transmit the regular order of business for December term, 1843. The term will commence on the 4th day of December, 1843, with motions and arguments, which will con- tinue four weeks, and terminate on the 30th day of December, 1843. The ensuing nine weeksare fixed for jury trials. First period, three weeks from Jan- uary 2d, 1844, to January 20th, 1844, inclusive. Se- cond period, three weeks from January 22d, 1844, to February 10th, 1844, inclusive. ird period, three weeks from February 12th, 1844, to March 2d, 1844, inclusive. One of the city watchmen on Saturday evening arrested a man calling himself Richard Wilson having in his possession a horse which is supposed to have heen stolen, for the reason that when inter- rogated in relation to the animal, he told three or four stories, each contradictory of the other, and all unsatisfactory as to his having obtained him by honest means. “He offered the horse for sale at the horse market, which answering the description of one stolen, he was taken before the Mayor, where after a, hearing he was committed to the County prison in default of bail. Yesterday, during the absence of the family of Robert McCall, Esq., southwest corner of Eleventh and Market streets, a handsome cloth cloak, a va- luable silver watch, and other Property, worth about 150. was stolen. Suspicion has fallen upon an Englishman, named Henry Beresford, a servant in the family who was left in charge of the house, and who hassince disappeared. 5 _L observed on Chestnit street this morning two distinguished personages, each popular and celebra- ted in their peculiar line of business. Wallack the talented actor, and Florence, the distinguished caterer of your city. The former will appear atthe Chesnut Sireet Theatre on Wednesday; and the latter is here on a visit to secure, if possible, addi- tional facilities for the enjoyment of your citizens. The magnificent picture of the Embarkation of the ey is now being exhibited at the Artists, | Fund Hall.

On reaching that town, in spite of the remon- strances of Mr. C., the Captain of the Ben Franklin insist- ed on putting him ashore in the yawl, in order to save the wharfage tax. While Mr. ©. wasin the yawl, preparing to start, the B.

As regards the “ Ex- pres,’’ it is not of much importance who the repor- ter was—tbe comparison instituted in this instance holds good in all other cases in which attempts are made to compete with us in this department. We are glad, however, to learn that Mr. Sutton did not compromise his character in such a specimen of re- porting, because we know his talents well, and have always considered him one of the first reporters in the country.

Any one possess- ed of much mechanical ingenuity can handle a knife well.. A butcher can perform the operation of amputation with great dexterity. But the ques- tion is, to know where to operate. In the practice of medicine, there is a great deal of guess work, or, as ithas been called, the conjectural art. But surgery may be ranked as one of the highest and noblest of the sciences, requiring not only skill, but great judgment on the part of a surgeon, before its blessings can be realised. If these matters in- terest us, how much more must they the Surgeon, whose vocation it is to bind ee broken hearted, and make the lame to leap with joy. ‘ We freely give publicity to the following case, because it so beautifully exemplifies the healing rocess.

It is well that ‘Wyman is permitted to escape; for the actual pun- ishment of a Bank President, like this Wyman, would be too great an anomaly in these latter days. If, however, a poor half starved sans cuwlotte should steal a pair of old breeches to keep himself from freezing to death he would be sent to Blackwell’s Island or some worse ‘place, instanter. @ It will not surprise us to soon hear that Wyman rides in his carriage, if he does not already.
