NEW YORK HERALD. York, Wednesday, November 29, 1343, New Medicine end Libel. We mentioned the other day, that the libel suit commenced against this journal about a year ago by the University Medical School, had been set- tled, and that as soon as the preliminaries should | be arranged, we would recur to it again, and state the terms to our readers. We are enabled to do so to-day, and in a manner we believe perfectly satis- factory to all parties, except the authors of mis- chief. Here are the documents :— (Cory. TO THE PUBLIC, known to most that @ suit was instituted more than a year past, by the Medical York, for @ libel upon ost eminent counsel were and there were other indications for the first time, awakened my at- tention to the only proper view of the injustice with which that school and its Faculty had been repeatedly as- in the Herald, and in the “Medical Journal, ("The re Lancet,”) of which I was the proprietor. In the multiplicity of =) ‘vocations, and from an un- warrantable neglect, I hi ed to inform myself of the accuracy of those calumnious statements which had been imparted to me 4 @ confidential agent, and by others; and it was now, for the first time, when the declaration, made to the Court, was transmitted to me by the Facult¢’s coun- sel, that I ascertained my own posture, and the entire Ee It is probabl; fer Facult oi the University of } i The m falsehood of all the charges and imputations which had | heen alleged against the Faculty in the Herald, and in the cet. The declaration embodied all the several offen ve para- graphs, all the allegations and imputations inst the School and its Faculty, which had appeared. from time to time in the newspaper and medical journal above referred to; and so thoroughly convinced was I by the enquiries then made that every charge and every imputation was utterly groundless, that I instructed my lawyer. to abstain from all defence, to freely admit my fault, und place the issue on the sound discretion of those whose injury had deen so perseveringly sought through the medium of my press, but at the instigation of jealous conspirators. It is only, however, at this late day thatl have succeed- ed in satisfying the Medical Faculty that I was the vic- tim of misrepresentation myself; though I certainly admit my own error in having permitted the Medical Faculty to be traduced by others, under my apparent sanction. In any other case I would not have sought a mise, but would have stood the indignant and course of the law; but I could not bring mys that passive acquiescence was honorable to myself, or just to the Medical Faculty. I have carnestly desired to do more than simply to abide the decision of our courts, and to voluntarily express to the world the deep regret'l en- tertain for the injury which had been attempted towards the University Medical School and its Faculty, by the press which is under my control. The Faculty, I believe, are now satisfied that I had no personal motives of ill will, and have come to the deter- mination of discontinuing their suit on my paying all the expenses which they have incurred.

BREWSTER, Plaintiff's Attorney So this affair isterminated, but we cannot allow it to go forth to the broad atmosphere of the future, without making a few practical, philosophical re: marks, conceived in good temper, and born in an- | cient friendship. Libel suits, from their inception to | their termination, may be called aspecies of “his- | tory teaching by example.” In this particular case, | much practical and theoretical philosophy may be deduced, useful and profitable to all classes of so- ciety—to editors, to physicians, lawyers, yea, even to loafers. | On the opening of the University Medical School, | no one took a warmer interest in its success than we did. Several of the professors we had known personally for years. They called upon us—the: invited us to their lectures and petit soupers—they | seemed anxious to get all the support which a journal of large circulation could give them. The experiment of establishing a rival school to the old one, was a hazardous project—for on many a former occasion similar efforts had been made, but ri- valry and effort had always put them down There were prospects, however, that the present would succeed as much from the enterprise as the | talent of the Faculty. 1 immediately, as I always do when 1 help a| friend or go for a good cause, pulled off my coat, rolled upmy sleeves, and untied my black stock, with as much enthusiasm as Doctor Mott or any of the Faculty would cut up a fresh subject before a crowd of students. For the first time in New York, they established a clinique. 1 engaged reporters at great expense—had all their movements and opera- tions accurately reported and sent abroad injthirty | thousand ways to the wide world. But I did not! stop here. I established, at their suggestion and at | my own expense, a ‘Medical Journal,” called the “Lancet,” and engaged editors, writers, engravers, &c.,to give it a high rank in the medical world. In consequence of these efforts in the aid of the talents and enterprise of the Faculty, the school made as much progress in public confidence in three months as all the schools in this country ever did in three, or even in thirty years. The success of the movement astonished every medical man, and as usual began to create among their rivals fear, jealousy, and all sorts of uncharitable passions.— The first indication of their feelings was in the at- tacks made by a Wall street journal, upon the re- | ports of the clinigues and lectures, calling them every vile name it could think of. This began to breed disturbance, distrust and jealousy. The enemies of the new school stuck at no effort—hesitated at no intrigae—scrupled at no means, to mystify and em- broil their movements and efforts. In spite of the good feelings and mutual esteem with which all started, one petty difference followed upon the heels of another, till the first thing I knew, after taking _ asolar observation one day, was that the Herald and the new school, instead of being going on the same tack, were constantly thwarting and crossing each other’s purpose. This unfortunate position of affairs was undoubt- edly fine fun for the rivals of the school,and the rivals of the Herald. These feelings increased—increased increased—until the breach was so wide that at last a libel suit was begun—a pause took place in the contest—and both parties began to survey their past course and present latitude. According. ly, during the last year, both parties have been en- gaged in looking at that position until it has at length terminated in the settlement which we now give. Thus far, therefore, our friendship for this sehool, under the intrigues of these rivals and our enemies, have cost us something like the following sume :— Loss on the Now York Lancet,.......,..., $1600 00 Expense of various reports in the New York He- rald,. Bill of cov “no Aggregate lowe... + «$2087 00 Thus it will be seen that our friendship for a re- | the country. | gular medical school has cost us $2047, besides a | great deal of abuse—unpleasant feeling—trouble of | lawyers, and many other drawbacks equal to $10,000 | of paper money. All this has been mainly pro- | duced by the intrigues of secret medical and edito- | rial rivals against both parties. Even in the pre- | sent settlement, many of the medical rivals of the | New School are going about town, cutting up and sneering at both parties—gt the Faculty for giving up the suit, and at us for not proceeding in the de- fence. The motive for this is the same as that which first caused the difficulty—a desire to in- volve the feelings of the Faculty in personal quarrels instead of permitting them to create a great school by devotion and energy in the profession. These | rivals wanted to see both parties make fools of | themselves publicly—but they have been disappoint- ed by the good sense of the Faculty. | Thus has this affair terminated. Hereafter we shall take care how we endeavor to en- gage in a good-natured and liberal matter. We have, and always had, a high opinion | of the members of the ‘University Medical | School; and also of the Crosby street concern; | but we shall allow them both hereafter to fight their own battles and do their own cutting-up. The re- gular schools—and all regular physicians—are very excellent men—skilful physicians, and every thing they please. Tt might be libellous to say otherwise. But yet, from our experience in the world, we give the palm of good sense and tact, and humane feel- ings—and true generosity, decidedly to the irregu- lars. Hereafter we shall consider Doct. Brandreth, of the Universal Pill, one of the greatest lights of the present age—and that only second to him is Doct. Richardson, of the Independent Institution in Nassau street, Doct. Brandreth is a gentleman —a man of sense—a man of tact—a man of libe- rality, besides being Mayor of the town of Sing Sing. Farewell, therefore, to all regular medical schools and regular medical doctors—but come to our heart—yea to our heart of hearts—all ye sensi- ble and enchanting irregular practitioners, who know how to live and let live. Creprr ro wHom Creprr is Duz.—John Jones» of the Madisonian, has appropriated to himself the Pope’s Bull against slavery, original and transla- tion, without a single word as to the paper which first gave them to the world. Does John know that they appeared first in the Herald? or does John read the newspapers generally? This is not the first time in which our friend Captain Tyler and his men have appropriated to themselves our labors without so much as saying, “Thank ye.” No set of men can get along in the world on this system. Avorner Great Ratry or tHE American Re- PuBLICANS takes place this evening at Riley’s, in the Fifth Ward. A very enthusiastic meeting will assemble, and many eloquent speeches will be de- livered. All the wards in the city are now perfect- ly organized. The Young Men’s Club of the Ninth Ward meet to-morrow at the Northern Exchange, in Bleecker street. First Trrumen or Strate RerupiarTion BEFORE tue Peori.x.—There is no disguising the fact that the recent election in Mississippi has terminated in favor of the repudiation of a certain portion of her public debt, by a large popular majority. We hon- est men who pay our debts, must grin and bear it— or add it to the private repudiations effected under the bankrupt law. Now that repudiation has tri- umphed in one State, we suppose Pennsylvania and others will follow suit. The gross corruptions of the two old parties have brought this disgrace on Let us organize ‘* Young America” at once. State Prisons anp Banxs.—The State prisons all round the country seem to be clearing their ex- | penses, and laying aside handsome surpluses. The banks are losing money. In point of morals both that the prisons are better managed and have abler financiers than the banks. Both are valuable in- stitutions in society, the one being a sort of prepar- atory school to the other. Stock SrecuLarors.—Wall street is full of stock speculators, all set a going by the banks. This will last for several months to come, for aslong as | the banks have money, they must feed these loons, | just like gamblers and the hells. But Jook out for the winding up. §G Stockholders of banks, take care. The managers of your property are getting crazy about these days. Look out for squalls. Post Orrick Rerorm.—There is to be a mass meeting at the Philadelphia Exchange at half past twelve o’clock to-morrow to express an opinion on the necessity of post office reform. ‘Wantep—Any charitable man who will infuse a pennyworth of common sense into the Cal- houn party about these parts. A handsome reward of $2,500 will be given. Who offers? Sream Sinr Careponta will leave Boston next Friday for Liverpool. Her letter bags will close in this city to-morrow afternoon. American Horet.—Hon. John Fairfield, Sena- tor from Maine ; Hon. J. Merrick, M. C., Maine ; Hon. J. P. Hale, M.C., N. H. ; Hon. Levi Wood- | bury, lady and three daughters, N. H., arrived at | this House yesterday. Howarp’s Horer.—Hon. Jos. H. Anderson, Westchester; Hon. C. Ellisand family, Waterford; Hon. T. J. Patterson, Rochester; Hon. John Stew- art, Conn.; Hon. J. B. Hunt, Michigan; Hon. 8. A. Douglass, Illinois; Hon. G. B. Warren, Troy ; Hon. J. McKay, Penn., arrived at Howard’s y terday. Musicat—Ote Bui’s Seconp ArrEaranc The great maestro of the age on the violin, Ole Bull, appears again to-night at the Park theatre. For several days every seat has been engaged, and we should not be surprised if premiums were to be offered to-day, such is the rush and such the enthu- | Siasm to see this singular artist. ‘The most intense | excitement pervades every cirele, and to-night we believe agreater display of female beauty will grace the boxes than has been seen since the time of Malabran. | Apropos—a very amusing paragraph in relation to | this artist was shown us yesterday, in a small French journal called the Courrier des Etats Unis, published in this city. It contained several obser- vations on artists and musical matters, but particu- larly a few remarks on Ole Bull, of the most dis- reputable and ungentlemanly character that we have often read. We are told, however, (for we have never read this paper, and until recently never have seen it,) that this self same Courrvr has made itself quite ridiculous for a long time, by a series of ignorant, impudent, and silly effusions, against the republican institutions of this country. In this matter, it may perhaps be toiling in its vo- | cation—but it has even gone beyond ignorance and | folly, and, on several occasions, attempted beastli- | ness and infamy. Of this, however, we cannot speak from a personal perusal. Of the present at- | tempt to write down Ole Bull, probably because he 8 not some Frenchman, but an original spirit from the deep north, we can speak more intellectually. | It is utterly contemptible, and will only serve to | make the small and obscure clique more despised and more laughed at, who prompt and encourage such | things. We believe that Ole Bull, both in genius | and in personal character, can stand up the small critics and empty-headed amatuers of the day. | ‘Te CremicaL Parnrines, which have for some tine past been exhibited in the Granite Buildings in Broadway, were yesterday considerably damaged by fire, which was communicated to the wooden | partition from the wire of the stove pipe. “ The Cathedral of Milan” is a total loss, and “ The Crucifixion” is partially, if not absolutely injured. | The remaining two were rescued in time, and will be as speedily restored to the public view as porssi- ble. This is a serious loss to the proprietors, as | the public were just beginning to understand the | value of the paintings, are nearly on a level, the only difference being, | Procrrss or tHe New Reuigion.—We per- ceive from the ‘ Tribune,” the organ of the Fourierites, that the grand scheme for the amelioration of mankind, and the resto- ration of the days of Adam and Eve, before the enemy left the track of his cloven foot on the finely-gravelled walks of Paradise, is advancing ra- pidly in this country, under the fostering influence of the choice spirits who have here taken up the busi- ness. Mr. Brisbane has been planting and Horace Greeley watering the seedlings all over the land, and the popular love of visionary projects and hum- bug begins to give the increase. Mr. Brisbane has just returned from an extensive tour in the Western and central parts of this State, and he reports in the organ that every where the doctrines of the “Great Master” are spreading—that the “‘ nobie system” is gaining great additions to the number of its disci- ples—and that the millenium is rapidly approaching. All this he attributes chiefly to the fact that the editor of the “Tribune” has, during the last two years, allowed a fair exposition of the doctrines of the new system, in hiscolumns, and helped them by his efficient personal advocacy. Our readers are pretty generally aware that this new sect, of which Messrs. Brisbane and Greeley are the great apostles, regards Charles Fourier—an obscure Frenchman, who lived for twenty years in a garret, near the Bourse in Paris—as a second Saviour of the world—an incarnation of the divini- ty—a sort of God-man, who has been sent into the world to purify and reorganize society, and intro- duce a system of universal peace, order, and happi- ness. All this isto be accomplished by cutting up the country into separate districts of so many miles square, enclosed with a strong wooden, or brick- and-mortar fence, and having in the centre a stu- pendous hen-coop, capable of containing nine hun- dred bipeds of both sexes, and all ages, complex- ions and conditions. Here, every man, woman and child will be privileged to do what seemeth good in their own eyes, and so give full scope to the exercise of those beautiful and heavenly senti- ments, which are ‘‘smothered,” as Mr. Brisbane says, by the present absurd and abominable consti- tution of society. ‘There will in fact be, in the ex- pressive language of the people, a perfect looseness; and human nature will sprout, and eflervésce, and frisk and frolic, and bask itself in the glorious sun- shine of the new religion without having to snap a single restrictive thread, or knock its shins against any of those unpleasant contrivances by which, un- der the present organization, it has been sought to hamper and control its exuberance. Primeval pu- rity, freedom and grace will be at once restored. Such is the system to which the beautiful theo- ties of Protective Industry have been wedded by the Fourierite philosopher, and under whose fos- tering care they are both advancing so rapidly in public favor. Seriously, however, it is a sad mat- ter to witness the spread of such absolute humbug in any quarter. Butso it ever has been with the great mass of the world. Men will seek for a bet- ter order of things any where but from the sources to which reason and sober judgment point. Socie- ty wants not the association of men and women in enormous hen-coops ; it wants the wider diffusion and more pervading influence of the principles and practice of honesty, virtue, and common sense. Progress or Humpua.---They seem to have a taste for humbug im Boston. The professors of animal magnetism have been pretty well used up in most parts of the country. But in Boston they still reap a good harvest. One Dr. Sunderland is there at present, and has been experimenting at the moderate rate of twenty-five cents a head. Here is a specimen of the performance During an intermission of singing, the young lady, who sang the second, (the Lecturer standing alone beside her,) began to breathe violently—turnii her face up- ward, and rubbing her hands as if she felt her heart over- flowing with extatic joy, and about ready to burst its nar- row limits, and soar away into regions of unfathomable space. Agonizin (if we may use the term) in this man- ner a short time, she burst out into the following excla- mation: Oh, how beautiful! How 1 Oh’, how happy I feel” “Turn your eyes in this aireftion, ‘aid the lecturer, pointing to’ another part of the ceiling, and tell me what you see there.” She turned her head, and gazed with an expression of delight upon her counte- nance, which almost baffles description, and exclaimed with a tremendous voice, “Oh, I see my Saviour! How lovely! How glorious!” “ What else do you see ?” en- quired the doctor. ‘Oh !” she exclaimed, and then there was use for afew moments. ‘‘ Oh!” she continued My brother! My brother! I see my brother !” * x : Immediately upon this, one of the young ladies began to rub her hands in éestacy, and turning her pretty face towards the ceiling overhead, ex- claimed' “ Oh! how beautiful, beautiful, mxavtiruL !” “ What is so beautiful 7” said the lecturer. ‘Oh! those lights ! how beautiful!” What else do you see? Be so kind as to tell me?” “ Oh! I see Heaven, and my father ! Glorious! Oh, how glorious!” Immediately alter this dialogne was finished, she commenced singing a revival mel and the other lady who had remained quiet until now, joined in and sung the second. Such isthe subhme humbug which crowds of rational men and women encourage and patronise ; whilst with most marble-hearted indifference they treat projects for clothing the naked, feeding the hungry, and rescuing from the hard embraces of po- verty and vice, thousands of their fellow creatures. What good might not be done in worthy hands, with the money contributed night after night to ig- norant adventurers, whose impositions are really too serious to be laughed at. Fanaticism.—Some of the Boston papers affect to make a fuss about Dr. Lardner being permitted to lecture in that city. A more remarkable fact, and one much better illustrative of the changes of the times, is that which we recorded the other day in describing the Great Abolition-Repeal-Meeting in Boston. We allude to the singular fact that three cheers for his Holiness the Pope were given in Faneuil Hall, with such enthusiasm and effect that the venerable building fairly shook on its founda- tions. And thisis the “cradle of liberty”—in the very heart of New England! We wonder that old Cotton Mather did not start from his grave, and appearing in their very midst, pronounce a sélemn curse on his inconsistent and profane descendants. But thus it ever is with such bigots—they strain at agnat and swallow a camel ;—persecute to death the vender of a newspaper on a Sunday, and wink at the wholesale rascality of a bank robber ;—af- tect athrill of holy horror at some petty transgres- sion against the conventional rules of society, and applaud to the heavens the undisguised assailant of the very existence of the republic itself. Ginrow’s Rome.—We have received, from the Messrs. Harper, the second part of Gibbon’s un- equalled history of the “Decline and Fall of the Roman Empire.” This edition is well printed, on good paper, will contain several valuable maps, and also Milman’s notes. It will be comprised in fifteen numbers, at twenty-five cents cach, and will form the cheapest edition ever published.— ‘This publication is probably intended to counteract the moral stains arising from the ‘Mysteries of Paris;” so the Harpers are straight as aramrod again. Ninvo’s.—Quite a throng of fashionable families visited the New Arena last night—Messrs. Rock- well and Stone have only to continue their elegant- ly conducted entertainments, to be certain of a corresponding appreciation of their efforts by the public. We can assure the visiters to the New Cireus, that it is by far the warmest place of amuse- ment inthe city, a fact that ought to be extensively circulated, as a contrary impression has deterred many from attending Niblo’s. The six horse act of Mr. Turner is the crowning effort of Mr. Rock- well’s troupe. $i It is really worth one’s while to spend a quarter and visit the Chatham Theatre of an even- ing if it were for nothing more than to witness the performance of Mr. Greeley’s drama of the Myste- ries of Paris. Jt is here, and here alone, that one can see personified to the life the ideas of the great French novelist, Eugene Sue. In Mrs. Herring, Hield and Jamieson, one can imagine the repre- sentatives of the beings created in the author's i gination. In addition to this piece to-ni Elisler Brothers personate the Lionards in a very effective piece called the Wood Wolves of the Black Mountains. Their feats of strength and gymnasia are almost incredible to behold, Professor Olmsted's Lecture at the Taberna- ele last Kveming, ‘On the Character and Discoveries of Newton.” We cannot describe this lecture half so well as | itwas described by a very lovely woman, with a magnificent shawl, and a hat of the most fashiona- ble mode, as she left the Tabernacle leaning on’the arm of a consumptive-looking young man with a few long black hairs on his upper lip, and a heavy cloak wrapped closely around his attenuated form. The silvery tones of the fair creature’s voice fell with such a subduing melody on the ear, that we could’nt for the life of us, help lingering near her fora few moments as the crowded throng issued from the prison-like vestibule of the Broadway temple of religion and science. “I don’t like such miserable hints of things,” said the lady, and the motion of the fashionable hat in- dicated a very decided toss of the pretty head which it provokingly concealed, _ ; “Yaw !” replied the exquisite, and he shivered as the cold breeze, sweeping in from the street, visited his cheek too roughly. “Well, shall goand hear dear, delightful Ole Bull to-morrow night,” said the lovely owner of the magnificent shawl, speaking rather to herself than to the creature by her side. “ Yaw,” returned the iproprictos of the moustache, which despite of a world of sighs, and ‘their in- ful—as he and his companion stepped on the street, and nue with the passing crowd. The la y was quiteright. The lecture was a col- lection of mere. ‘‘ hints’”—which a little industry, and the last edition of the biographical dictionary, would have enabled, we think we may venture to say, even the intelligent exquisite who accompanied the fair critic, to compile. A brief sketch of Copernicus, Kepler, and Galileo—a few facts from the life of Newton—a_ bare announcement that he discovered the infinitesimal calculus, the com- position of light, and the principle of universal gravitation, and a brief dissertation in reply to the query—‘‘Is the system of Newton immutable ?” constituted the lecture. We did not hear a noe statement made, with which a school-boy ot the third form, could be unacquainted. And. Professor is a man of acknowledged erudition and talent, and possesses scientific attainments of no common order, But this whole system of deliver- ing one or two popular lectures on subjects, whose elucidation with any sort of profitto the audience, would require a series, is altogether unsatisfactory and absurd. It is a waste of time and nioney, ut- ty nex cueat to attend and pay for discourses of this character, when all that can possibly be ad- vanced by the lecturer can be so much better learned from a primer. The system of popular lec- turing could easily be made a most powerful and profitable instrumentality of instruction and ra- tional amusement. But as at present employed by the directors of the Mercantile Library Associa- tion, it is altogether inefficient. And we can per- ceive that our fair friend is not alone in her opinion—there are a great many quite disgusted with “these miserable hints of things,” for the au- diences at the Tabernacle this season are growing ‘small by degrees and beautifully less.” New York Klection =Fvtt Orriciat.

Mr. Eprror :— . L The two trifling occurrences, in two successive days, merely killing two men, running over them and severing their limbs from their bodies, isa slight circumstance weighed in the balance against the great benefits of this rickety railroad. Pray by what authority does this machine for mangling the bodies of human beings exist! Why is it tolerated by the Common Council? Have the Wallstreet brokers not sufficient worthless stocks to gamble in without blowing up this bubble, and spreading an- other net te catch the‘unwary? I join you, Mr. Editer, in recommending inquiry—who are the managers of this road? Are the cars safe? the rails safe ? the bridges, are they safe? Would it be a trifling accident if one of the various props supporting the tottering bridges, should fall and kill men by cart loads ? Citizen. Du. Browniee.—We are happy to learn from the Christian Intelligencer, of Saturday, that there is a gradual improvement in Dr. Brownlee’s health. His ge- neral con mn is more comfortable than it has been, and he articulazes better The paralysis of the right side, however, renders him still very helpless. Anorner Sutnpy.—We see by the Philadelphia papers that Mr. Booth has been kicking up another shindy. The “ Spirit of the Times” of yesterday says that ir. Booth, after di epointing and insulting the public in his usual manner, on Fri ay Might, left on Saturday morn- ing for Baltimore. His failure to perform on Friday even- ing arose, some say, from intoxication; others say from contempt for a Philadelphia audience, the house not being sufficiently crowded to suit his notions. GRAND GALA DAY, AND TWO SPLENDID performances at 3 and 7} o’clock, at the American Muse- um, The Fortune ‘Telling Germai Gipsey Queen, may be seen at all hours of the day and evening, and can be pi vately consulted with regard to pitt. present and futu: events. Gen. Tom Thumb holds his levees there from 10 o’clock A. M. till 9 P. M., and is shag leased with the kind attentions of his fair friends. In ed, the attractions of the Museum were never greater than now ; and we are Sreatly mistaken or there will be a grand rush there this lernoon. Q@.THE<ATTRACTIONS OF PEALE’S MUSEUM are unprecedented, Madam Adolph, the fortune tel has hundreds of calls every day, and the performances ir the Lecture Room are witriessed by thousands of delight ed visiters. Miss Adair and Miss Rosamond sing with the most astonishing sweetnes: ease and grace of a fairy, while Messrs. Hoyt and Linton pervonate the Ethiopian with the most laughter-provoking effect. Indeed, the whole entertainment is of the very highest order, and the great wonder is, that the manager can give so much for the trifling sum ofone shilling. @g- CHEAP AND UNIFORM POSTAGE.—The Committee of twenty-one, appointed ut a meeting of the citizens in favor of cheap postage, at the Exchange, on Saturday last, are requested to meet at the Alliance insur- comparable oil, Macassar,” still remained ungrate- | yet the| BY THE SOUTHERN MAIL. nnd . 8G Some other members of Congress have come in since those mentioned in our last.

Conviction or Horn.—The trial of Horn, for the murder of his wife, which occupied the attention of the Baltimore Court Court all of last week, was brought to a conclusion on Monday, when the jury rendered a ver- dict of “Guilty of murder in the first degree.” Dearn or Jupce Earte.—The Eastern Shore (Md.) papers announce the death, on Wednesday last, of the Hon. Richard T. Earle, formerly Chief Judge of the Second Judicial District of Maryland, . Union or THE ATLaytic anp Paciric.—The New Orleans Bulletin mentions the receipt of late dates from the city of Mexico, via Havana. It appears that San- ta Anna, previous to his departure for Vera Cruz, issued a special edict regarding the contemplated canal for uni- ting the Pacific with the Gulf of Mexico by the Isthmus of Tcheuantepac. The following embraces its substance :— Whereas, the survey of the route has been completed, and every thing ready ior commencing the important under- taking of uniting the Atlantic with the Pacific, by the Gulf of Teheuantepec, the Mexican government is de- sirous to assist the contractor, Don Jose Garay, with all means at its disposal, we have deemed if, proper to decree as follows: A prison capable of accommodating over three hundred convicts ix to be built under the direction of the contractor forthe cnaptraplated canal ; the judicial authorities of the departments of Vera Cruz and Oajaca are required to send to the said prison all persons found guilty, in order that they be employed in digging and working on the said canal. The convicts are to be clothed and maintained by the contractor. Philadelphia. [Correspondence of the Herald.] iPmuapetrnia, Noy. 28, 1843. U. S. Steam Frigate Princeton—The King of the Mist—Ole Bull at the Chesnut—Artot—Vieux Postage—Fire Companies—Sheriff's Posse—Pa- rades—Riots—Arch street Theatre, §c. Crowds of people have been flocking to the river part of the city to-day to see the United States steam frigate Princeton, which is anchored off Chesnut street, in the Delaware river. A great number of our citizens have been favored by means of the steam or ferry boats from Walnut street wharf, with a closer inspection by a visit on board this noble specimen of the handicraft of American mechanics.

The success of the piece was un- equivocal, as the shouts at the falling of the curtain plainly evidenced. To particularize its beauties, either of plot, or scenery, would be superfluous. It is announced for every night this week, and I pre- sume the theatre will be crowded,jby the great anx- iety there is to see it. I would advise every body not to lose the opportunity offered. Ole Bull, the aeay violinist, has been engaged by Wm. Rufus Blake of the Chesnut street, at whic! house he will appear on next Monday night. The town is on the Sptoe already in relation to this great performer. Iwill hear him, if able to get into the theatre, and inform you of his success in this city. ‘This is the very age of “instrumentation.” After a number of lesser stars had shone in our field of vision, came Nagle—the Ce and finished Na- gle. He was succeeded by Wallace, whose genius as contradistinguished from mere gracefulness of execution, was superior, as to lead us to suppose that he could not be far behind his great preceptor, Paganini—the mentor of the school. Now, on Fri- day, we have Artot. Some of the newspapers claim for him great eminence, I will not advance an opinion; but this much is certain: he has not the European reputation of Ole Bull. In forming an opinion in advance upon the mer- its or demerits of musical people, I have always found that an English reputation is generally to be as much avioded, as a continental reputation is to be regarded. Mr. Chandler, of the United States Gazette, spoaking of these oe says a good thing this morning. It regard to Ole Bull and Old Time, “they must,” says he, ‘produce effects.” I think that the selection of theatres as the place, of his performances, is most unhappy on the part of Ole Bull. In this city, | know it to be particularly so. There are thousands whe flock to every place where an opportunity is afforded of hearing music, who never dream of going to a theatre whatever is the attraction, and whom the very name of the place would deter from attendance. In respect to the reduction of postage generally, your people have caused a demonstration here. There is to be a meeting held upon the subject at the Exchange on Tuesday noon. ‘ It is said that several of our fire companies have began the work of reform, by expunging from their lists of members all those who are known as pugnacious or belligerent characters, asa matter of urgent precaution. a aetand that already about four hundred citizens have attached themselves to the Sheriff's volunteer possé, which I spoke about yesterday, and which isto engage to suppress riots.
