NEW YORK HERALD. New York, Thursday, December : = = = An Aoent Wanren.— active ahd enterprising man is wanted to act as agent for the Herald, in Trenton, New Jersey, where he can, with a small capital, estublish a business which will prove lucrative Apply at this Office. Arrivar or THE Hisennta.—This steamer ‘had fifteen days passage yesterday. It may be pre- sumed, therefore, that she hasarrived at Boston. lf so, we shall receive her news early this morning NoMINATIONS BEFORE THE Senare.—The extent, variety, and character, aggregate and individual, of the nominations sent in by the President for con- | firmation by the Senate, begin to create a great | deal of enquiry and excitement amongst the various | circles of office-beggars and office-holders and | their several coteries. Nor are they uninteresting to the quiet philosopher who is looking on, for they present many points of irresistible drollery, and ex- hibit human nature in a broad and amusing light. Amongst the Tist now before the Senate, are cabi- net officers—ministers abroad—collectors—ap- praisers—naval officers—representatives in fact of timost every rank and condition amongst the ser- vants of the government and the children of men, A more curious and motley groupe than this, was probably never before collected and presented to the Senate of the United States for confirmation. ‘They appear to be gathered from the four winds like the big sheet-full of unclean things which St. Peter saw letdown from heaven—selected from all parties, classes and conditions of life; but they chiefly seem to be the collection of creeping things, who have been forced upon the unsuspecting con- tidence of Captain John Tyler by the extraordinary | events of the last eighteen months, and particularly | by the violent, vindictive and persevering abuse | heaped upon him by the leaders of the whig par in public and private. A great many of these didates are whigs ; but the majority have been c: lected from the locofoco ranks in all parts of the Union. P | Now, in looking over this list of great and small lazzarone, who are trembling before the United States Senate, there is presented to our mind one single and powerful feature which irresistibly leads to one conclusion. single man who was not selected by the President | under the belief that the individual in question oc- cupied an important position in the democratic | party, and who has not, since the last election, tri- umphantly demonstrated that he was as utterly powerless as a mushroom, and who has not, in- | stead of adding popularity to the administration, | contributed essentially to place it beneath the | contempt of both parties in the State. Henshaw, of Boston—Rantoul, of Boston—Porter, of Pennsylvania—and, in fact, the whole of them en the list—from top to bottom—crosswise and lengthwise—in breadth and thickness. There is not a solitary man in the whole batch of them, who, | with all the cunning and trickery, and duplicity, and meanness he has brought into the market, has | been able to add a single additional element to | give encouragement to John Tyler in persevering | in his present position and policy. Was not this | proved in the election of Blair and Rives ? Indeed the intrigues during the last year and a half, by which the President has been deceived— and deceived almost like a child—present richer and more curious scenes of human nature than were ever contemplated by Shakspeare himself; and these we mean to write down and publish before these nominations are confirmed by the Senate. We beg | the Senators, therefore, to suspend all action on these | Nominations until we have published the complete | history of the subterfuges, and intrigues, and tricks | by which these candidates imposed themselves on the President of the United States, and by which | they now happen to be before the Senate. And on these matters we believe the President may think very much as we do; and that, if ultimately the | whole batch of them be decapitated, with only one here and there saved, as a monument of the | destruction of the others, the President will just be | as well satisfied as the country will be. It is now We allude, | in the expression of this opinion, to such mén as | rture ror BavtrMorE aNnp THE Sovrn—Hlis Siveviar Desronpency.—Yes- terday afternoon this remarkable genius, and singu- larly amiable man, departed in the afternoon train from this city to Baltimore, under deep and poig- nant feelings of despondency and grief. During a week past, he has been under a high state of ex- citement, produced by the operation of a contract which a person by the name of Schubert, a He- | brew of the Hebrews, holds over him. | We understand that it was owing to the arrange- | ment of Mr. Schubert, by which Ole Bull was com- | pelled to break his engagements to the people of Balti- | more—a circumstance which has touched his sensi- | tive heart to the very quick. Indeed Ole Bull has been as terribly annoyed at the manner in which this contract has been held over his head—nay his very soul—by Schubert, as Faust was by that of Mephis- topheles, or poor Antonio, the Merchant of Venice, was by the bond of Shylock the Jew. We trust that some beautiful and spirited Portia of Bal- limore or the gallant south will redeem the great and amiuble genius from the bond that is shaken daily over his very existence and being. The other night an attempt was made to arrest.the artist at the Astor House, in the midst of one of his fits of despondency, for Ole Bull says “1 am alway in de heay-ven above or in de odder place below”’—but it roused his wounded spirit into the regions of sublimity, andin one fear- ful bound he scattered the officers like chaff before | him. Judge Vandelpoel, of this city, has given it | as his opinion that the contract is defective and in- | valid, and cannot be executed in this country at all —whatever it may be in Hamburg or any other place beginning with an H. We trust that Ole Bull may get out of these dif- ficulties better than Faust, and as well as Antonio, for they prey on his sensitive spirit to a most extra- ordinary extent. He is unquestionably the most extraordinary genius on the violin that ever ap- peared in the world—a very Shakspeare in his line, and no mistake. We would, therefore, advise Mr. Schubert asa friend (and Mr. 8. is aman of sense), to terminate at once and amicably his singular “bond” on the soul and violin of Ole Bull. The syinpathy of every gallant, youthful, and enthu- siastic spirit of the south, both male and female, ‘ | will be excited in favor of this inapproachable ge- In the whole list there is not a } ni , and it is dangerous in that region of the burn- ig sun and more burning soul, to act as he might do in the cold regions of the north. Ole Bull is not a mere violinist—he is a poet—an orator—a genius— a man—a warm hearted, high souled, honest man, of the purest elements of earth and heaven, He wants to breathe the free breath of high heaven in this land of liberty and wild enthusiasm—and he willdo it. More or tue Musica Mania.—There seems | no possibility of escape from this mania. We can’t | for the life of us get rid of it. Our destiny appears to be to be driven music-mad, and kept music-mad. Well, we suppose we may as well resign ourselves to our fate. Wallace is determined to allow no abatement of the enthusiasm created by the ma- gician who has just left us for a season. He gives his concert this evening at Washington Hall, and invites all the musical critics of the city to come and hear him. The Irish ought to support Wallace for he belongs to them ; but they hav’nt got soul enough to do it. But the French, German, and all the lovers of music in the city will crowd Washington Hall to-night. Madame Sutton ap- pears and sings ; and Signor Casella, the great per- former on the violincello, also. This is + great combination of talent, and we expect a terrible crowd. , come, let us go and see what rank we must give Wallace in the kingdom of harmony, genius, and enthusiasm. Traian Orrra.—If an Italian Opera is to take place here, we hope it will be composed of the artists we have before mentioned, to be added to the company that perfermed at Niblo’s. The ad- dition of Madame Sutton, Borghese and Castellan, with Antognini and De Begnis, can alone carry out, with brilliant success, such operas as the public will require at the hands of Simpson, or any other manager. If it is intended that the same company | that performed at Niblo’s for fifty cents, shall play full time to have a thorough purgation of these | for one dollar, with the addition of Borghese only, men who have been imposing on the President. And itshall be done. Tremble, then, ye mgn of | the manager who does that will find himself mis- |taken. The public taste for music is thoroughly intrigue ! for behold, the day of tribulation draweth | aroused, and now is the time to form such a nigh—yea, it has already come. The first sketches which we propose to give will! embrace the movements of Captain Ro- | bert Tyler, T. N. Parmlee, John C. Spencer, Ed- | ward Curtis, John L. Graham, and Lewis Eaton, | both here and in Washington, in the business of | iystifying the President and people. It willbe amu- sing, and will reveal some things to the President | of the United States that he never dreamed of be- fore. Tue American Repvusiicans have another great | meeting in the First Ward this evening. Peace | and harmony are to be restored. There is surely no reason why the Rev. David Hale and Mr. Ralph should be at dagger’s point. Let the friends ot the cause come out openly, and like men, and let all quarrelling be avoided. All who aspire to | office in the ward should submit themselves openly to the people, and let the ballot box decide. That’s the best and only proper test. Locofocos | and Whigs would be very much rejoiced to see feud and disunion in this party It has been in this way that former attempts to reform the age have failed. We shall, most certainly, discounte- nance all divisions and quarrels, come from what quarter they may. Come, boys, don’t let the devil in any shape, get among you Mysteries of New York—Triat or Mos: Bracu.—The trial of Moses for a libel on his own brother-in-law began yesterday, and will be con-| lnved to-day. Some rare disclosures are expected in the Court of Sessions. Sineutar Movement 1x Porrtics.—We under. | stand that the ruup of the Calhoun party in this city, has found a resting place in the Evening Post. Unless Mr. Van Buren looks well to his or- gans here, they will play strange tunes by and by— bat that’s his business, not ours. Wuat’s tHe Matrer ?~—We understand that the Calhoun men yesterday put an injunction on the new Cass paper, just started by John 1. Mumford, | and published by Mr. Clayton. The same press has been used to support, in succession, the cause of Van Buren, Calhoun, and Cass. out for Clay or the devil next It may come Tur Bow.inc Green Fountain.—We published | some days since, under the head of our law re- ports, the case of Charles P. Laverich vs. William | KE. Wilmerding, in which the former sued for damages done to his cellar and stock at No. 20 | Reaver street, by an overflow of water alledged | trom the waste pipe of the fountain in the Bowling Green, on the first day of its playing The case occupied several days, and yesterday the jury revurned @ verdict in favor of the plaintiff for | $1593 11 damages, and costs. The defendant was | one of the petitioners to the Common Council for he erection of the fountain. We believe there are eral other suits pending of the same nature. | Stavers Carrurep.—The seh hooner Ida, arrived | night from Sierra Leone, reports that previous | to her sailing the British brig of war Spy had cap- tured three Brazillian slavers on the Africrn coast of the slavers had five hundred slaves on board Javes were all liberated, and the vessels con- One The demned and sold. Fre mw Atwaxy.—We are again indebted to Captain Fitch, of the steamer Eureka, for Albany | papers, via the Housatonic Railroad. They are of | Tuesday afternoon. No news | Hivoson River is open to Catskill | KF Pomxnoy & Co, now run their express over | the Housatonic railroad. They leave here in the morning, and reach Albany in the evening of the | jot visiting Philadelphia, troupe as we have spoken of, and which would be superior to that at the Havana, and equal to London and Paris. It is useless to attempt any thing short of this—the public will not support an opera unless it is equal to what they have seen in Europe; and, more so, as the talent is here to com- pose it, and requires merely the enterprise of a good manager, or the combination of the artists themselves. Such a troupe as can expect a bril- liant success in New York, must not think Boston, and other places; it is too expensive, and their strength will prevent the necessity by attracting the musical gentry of those cities to New York Such a company under a proper management | might, in a few years, every one of them, realize a fortune between New York, New Orleans, and the | Havana. It has been said that the same troupe that performed at Niblo’s was the Havana troupe; | this is not the case, as Ober, Sutton, ana Borghese, | were prima donnas, and Salvatori and Ceconi primo bassos. Whether it is Simpson, or whether it is Palmo, let there be a good opera, combining all the talent; let the public decline to support anything else, and the thing is done, and an Italian company fixed in New York. If managers will not let the artists themselves combine, for the nightly receipts will average two-thirds more, let the artists be engaged monthly as in the Havana ; there $800 per month is the highest pay to a prima donna, and so in proportion to the other part of the troupe. No manager ought to entertain a propo- sition for anything beyond this. Why should an artist attempt to impose by requiring weekly what in the Havana is their monthly pay? This system of paying all to one star is a fraud upon the public who pay their money, and ought to repel such an invasion of theirrights. Lets have a London and Paris troupe, or none. Enouisn Deravirers.—It agpears that this coun- try is not the only one that is blessed witha race of men called defaulters. In Canada, according to the Montreal Herald, there are quite a number. We give their names:— By a paper just laid before Parliament, it appears that the sum of £5,142 is due by the following persons to the \ country: R. H. Hamilton, naval officer, Quebec, £2023 15s. Sd.—Edward Macgauran, registrar and treasurer of the Trinity House, Montreal, £590 15s, °d.—John Burwell, collector, Port Burwell, £149 5s. 4d.—John Chisholm, col- lector, Burlington, £3235 7s. 61.—Anthony Manahan, col- lector, Toronto, £436 13s, Sd.—R. D. Frazer, collector, Rockville, £527 1s. 2d.—B. McMahon, collector, New- castle (deceased), £11 4s —William Chisholm, collector, Oakville (deceased), £301 9s, 8d.—John Bostwick, collec- tor, Port Stanley, £369 4s.—W. Anderton, collector, Sand- wich, £196 168. $d. As the Canada papers seem to delight ina defal- cation perpetrated on this side of the lines, we hope that they will try to account for the above in some satisfactory way. It is not to be supposed that the above philosophers were dishonest. AvaBama LeGtstature.—The Senate was or- ganized by appointing Mr. Terry, of Limestone, President, Captain Wm. J. Couch, of Wetumpka Secre tary; §.B. Clitheral, Assistant Secretary, and A. R. Tho! mas, Doorkeeper. in the House, Andrew B. Moore, of Perry, was elected Speaker; Joseph Phelan was elected Principal Clerk without oppositton; A. B. Clitheral was elected Assistant Clerk . C. Bibb, Engrossing Clerk, and J. H. Owen, Deorkeeper. Sreamnoat Burnep.—We learn from the Charles- ton Courier that the steamboat Kershaw, with 966 bales of cotton on board, was totally destroyed by fire on the night of the 14th inst., whilst lying at ‘he plantation of Mr. J.C. Singleton, about 30 miles below Columbia, | with the entire cargo, at which place she had commenced loading.

The meeting called at Colyer’s Saloon yesterday afternoon, to expose the various firms of swindlers that have infested the mercantile community, was largely attended.’ ALexaNDER Ramsay, perfumer, of Maiden lane, was called to the chair, and Wx. H. Merxs appointed Secretary. The meeting being called to order, Exocn E. Came was called upon to address the audience rela- tive to the objects of the meeting. He briefly allu- ded to the facts that had been exhibited in the co- lumns of the New York Herald on this subject, and concluded by reading the article contained in that paper of Thursday last, in which a full exposition of the practices of these gangs of common swind- Jers was made manifest. On concluding, numbers of persons came for- ward and presented their claims, and detailed the manner they had been swindled by certain parties whose names were given, but are suppressed by us, as the District Attorney might order us to be in dicted for libel, as we once were for giving publici- to a legal document recorded in the United States Bankrupt Court. The publication would also interfere with the due administration of public jus- tice, as the parties implicated might thus escape trom the hands of the police. An arrest having ta- ken place in the following case, we give it publici- ty, as detailed by one of the firm at the meeting:— New York. June 20th, 1843. Mr. 8. D. JONES. Bought of T. & J. 8. DAVENPORT, Importers and wholesale dealers in China, Glass and Earthenware, No. 174 Washington street, near Courtlandt. Tromas Davenront, 2 James 8. Davenront, 5 To Merchandise as per bill rendered, Four months. Mr. Jones stated that at the time the above bill was purchased, he was worth at least ten thousand dollars clear of the worla, and out of debt; that he owned a church in Trenton, N. J., ahd a large and valua- ble tract of land in Pennsylvania, together with a house and lot, or houses and lots, in the upper part of the city. Jones referred us to one 8. D. Pierson, who corroborated his statements, and remarked that “Mr. Jones’ only fault was that he was too honest.” Jones also gave a firm in William street, calling themselves Gardiner Perkins & Co,, as reference. The Gardiner Perkins is never to be seen, the company is represented by a man called Schafer, who made statements similar to those of Pierson. The goods were sold Jones om a credit of four months ; the note was sent to Milford, Pa., his place of business,for Peder but it was not paid. Mr. Jones was not to be found—the store was in possession of a man called Bur- rell from whom we could learn nothing. satisfactory re- arding the condition of Jones’ affairs. Upon examina tion we found that Jones had confessed judgment to a Cap- tain Peckham for two thousand two hundred and sixty dollars, which was over the amount of stock in the store. ‘We have also learned that Jones mortgaged the said church in Trenton for $2,500,it being more ity than it is worth. The church was mortgage judgment confessed shortly after the goods were sold, and before any payments were due. Regarding the land in Pennsylvania, and the houses and lots in this city, from the information we can gain, we believe that they were rin his possession and that these statementswere false, is now in the “Tombs,” awaiting his trial “for obtaining goods under false pretences ;” he was arrested and confined by a warrant which issued after the Grand Jury found a true bill against him.

It is intended to hold one ina few days at the large room of the Exchange, when further developments will be made known for the benefit of the pubiic. MEETING or THE Bar.—Yesterday morning a very large meeting of the members of the bar was held in the Common Council Chamber, to adopt suitable measures to manifest their respect for the memory of the late Hon. Smith Thompson, Judge of the Supreme Court, and to make arrangements for attending the funeral on Saturday, from his late esidence at Poughkeepsie. Chief Justice Jones presided, and the Hon. Og- den Edwards, late Judge, acted as Secretary. Sern P. Srarces, Esq., addressed the meeting on the occasion of the assembling of the members of the legal profession, which was in consequence of the melancholy intelligence of the death of Judge Thompson. He then offered the fol- lowing resolutions, with some introductory re- marks upon the eminent virtues and christian character of the great man whose loss they were assembled to mourn. He had known him for many years. It was before him that he tried his first cause, and the last time when that Judge presided at the bench, he (Mr. 8.) had the honor of being engaged as counsel in the last cause he tried. He thought that it was incumbent on the bar to mani- fest the respect they entertained for the Judge and the man, by some record of their feelings. He had, accordingly, prepared for their approval, a series of resolutions, which he now submitted :— Whereas, We have received the melancholy intelli- gence of the death of the Hon. Smith Thompson, one of the Justices of the Supreme Court of the United States, at his residence in Poughkeepsie, on the evening of the 18th instant Resofved, That we deeply feel and most sincerely la- ment the death of this just and upright man and eminent judge. His diligence in the despatch of business—his im- partiality and inflexible; integrity—his firmness and hu- manity—endeared him to us all. ‘His ready apprehension of the truth, and great clearness and power of intellect, during @ long judicial life, commanded and received our most profound respect, and entitle his memory to the highest veneration. The high judicial character which he attained, was alike honorable to himself and beneficial the community. : ‘0 Resolved, That while the private character and eminent services of Judge Thompson, through a long life, almost exclusively devoted to the public interests, have justly entitled him to the grateful remembrance of his countrymen, they present peculiar claims to the respect and admiration of the profession upon which they have re- fected so much honor. Entering as he did, upon public life at an early age, as a representative in the ogi ature of our State—shortly thereafter, called to the office of a Judge, and subsequently of Chief Justice of the Supreme Courtof this State which stations he adorned for a period of seventeen years—then filling the exalted post of Secretary of the Navy, during the administration of President Mon- roe—and finally, forthe last twenty years of his life, oc- cupying’s most distinguished rank inthe judiciary of the Union, and sustaining with his peculiar vigor of mind and integrity of purpose, the interpretations of the coustitu- tion which have commanded for august tribunal the veneration of the country—he has, in each successive i ined himself with wi leaving to his profession the enduring recollection of a well spent life, and of an honorable fame. ‘The bar of this, the first city in his na- tive State, deeply cherishing his memory, and justly ap- preciating the extent of the bereavement which they, in common with their fellow citizens, have sustained in his j least a melancholy’ satisfaction in the re- trospect of his life and services, and proudly point to them ax bright examples for the imitation of those who are here- after to labor in the field, in which he has secured the most honorable and enduring rewards. Resolved, That as a mark of our respect for the memo- ry ofthe deceased, we will wear the usual badge of mour- ning for thirty days. Resolved, That the Judges of the several Courts in this city, the United States District Attorney, and the fol- lowing named gentlemen—Seth P. Staples,’ Hugh Ma’ well, Benjamin F. Butler, David 8. Jones, Samuel A. Foot, John L. Lawrenve, Wm. Samuel Johnson, Joseph Blunt, Ambrose L. Jordon, David Graham—together w: the President and Secretary of the meeting, be a commit- tee to attend the funeral of the deceased, and to assure the family and friends of the deceased, how deeply we sym- pathise with them in the loss they have sustained, and that a copy of these resolutions be presented to his be- reaved family.

Quero ed him to him as a friend, a Judge, and an honor- able man. which they had betn associated on the bench of the U.S. Cireuit Court,the utmost harmony had always isted in their opinions, and he treasured up the remembrance of that mind which reflected such honor on the bench, such credit upon the legal profession, and such a glory upon the institutions of the country, in the service of which years had heen spent by him, with the full confidence of ite / statesmen, and in the full enjoyment of the highest honors, which a mind so noble and virtuous, could: Throughout a period of 16 years, in | . He felt that the resolutions just read, were: but a just tribute to his memory he respectful- ly seconded their adoption. ‘The Hon, Oven Epwanns and Bexsamiy F But ex also paid a passing tribute to the many virtues of the deceased, and his uniform Christian character and deportment as a lawyer, a judge, and aman. Previous to the resolution beings put to the vote, Mr. Joseph Blunt offered the following ;— Resolved, That a committee of three be appointed by the chair, to make the necessary arrangements for an eu- logy. to be hereafter delivered, on the life and character of the late Hon. Smith Thompson. E8q., offered the followin, Resolved, ‘That the Chairman and Secretary be reques- ted to communicate a copy of the proceedings of this meeting to the Chief Justice of the Supreme Court of the United States, and the District Judge of the United States for this Circuit, with a respectful request that they may be laid betore the courts over which they respectively preside, ¢ Cuain then took the vote on the resolutions offered by Mr. Sti together with the two preceding resolu- tions, and they were unanimously adopted. Messrs. Joseph Blunt, Benjamin F. Butler, and Hugh Maxwell, were appointed as the committee to carry out the resolution offered by Mr. Blunt. Cuiey Justice Jones, in a low and tremulous yoice, delivered a feeling eulogy upon his friend and fellow Judge, whose course he traced in all its bearings, both public, judicial and private. He was an honest citizen, un eminent judge, and an indulgent friend, and as he had walked righteously in the sight of his fellow men, con- forming in all things to the commands of his Great Mas- ter: he had now gone to reap the sure rewards, which a life of trustful and confidence in the justice of his God, enabled him, at the last moment of his race, to look forward to calmly and Joy full a Juper Brvrs informed the members ofthe bar, not spe- cially invited, that a respectful invitation had been extended by the family, through him, to all the members of the legal profession to attend the funeral on Saturday. The meeting then adjourned, Davin Granam, Jr., City Tract Society—Annual Meeting. The seventeenth anniversary of the New York City Tract Society (and jtwenty-first of the fe- male branch), was held last evening at seven o’clock, at the Tabernacle, Broadway,' for the pur- pose of the report of the committee’s proceedings inthe past year being presented, and the transac- tion of the usual business. The Rev. James Mil- nor, D. D., President of the Society, was appointed to take the chair, but he was prevented by illness, and ia his absence the Rev. Dr. Krebs presided. Mr. Wm. Waker, the proceedings having been opened in the usual manner by prayer and suppli- cation, read the treasurer’s ‘statement of his ac- counts for the past year. Omitting details, the ag- regate receipts had been $10,012 43, including Fiat 62 from the female branch, and the expen- iture ced 82, leaving a balance in hand of $29 61. The report of the committee of the female branch was nextread, which spoke very highly of the benefits arising from the colporteur systems in spreading religious knowledge in no less than nine- teen diflerent states and territories, particularly in the new ones; of these colporteurs, forty were Americans and fourteen German. The Rey. Isaac Oncuarp then read the annual report, which, after some appropriate introductor' observations, stated that the eae now sustaine! 14 missionaries, including one to the, German pop- ulation, and another, appointed during the year, to the shipping department. The average number of visits during the year had been 1003; but, notwith- standing the vast increase in the population during the last six years, chiefly of persons in the poorer class, neither the missionaries nor the visitors had increased in number. More missionaries, how- ever, could {be readily procured if the means of sustaining them were provided, and on this ground the report appealed to the public for more efficient. aid. fn edition to the monthly distribution of tracts when visiting from house to house, the pri- sons, hospitals, the shipping, and the adjacent islands had been supplied with them. The number of tracts distributed inthe year had been 732,155, making 3,425,781 pages—chiefly from the valuable publications of the American Tract Society. Fo- reigners, too, who desired it, had been supplied with them in their own languages. It also appear- ed that 936 Bibles and ‘estaments had been supplied ; 4796 volumes lent from the ward libra- ries, 2200 children gathered into Sabbath, and 315 into public schools, 145 persons into Bible classes, 904 induced to attend places of worship, 705 temperance serge ob- tained, and 1433 district prayer meetings held. In con- clusion, the committee requested contributions to carry on their operations. ‘The Rev. Dr. Levixas, of the Wesleyan Chapel, Vestry street,moved the first resolutions, namely, that the reports first read be adopted, and printed under the direction of the board. ‘The motion was seconded by the Rev. James L. Hopes, of the First Baptist Church, Brooklyn. The Bey. Dr. Scupper, Missionary from India, follow- ed, strongly urging tl ecessity there existed for active lay assistance in forwardiny wedi design of the Socie- ty. At least a thousand additional visitors, he remarked, were necessary at this moment. The Rev. Geonce B.

He had intended to have spoken of the nature and system of the gospel as a vo- luntary *ystem—of the Society’s efforts as voluntary efforts, and to have compared this system in some minute- ness with that despotic system which had prevailed for in one direction, making even what was called “the Church,” but a vast Juggernaut, to be drag ed by its fet- ters across the prostrate neck of men’s ies. This, however, he trusted in God had gone by, and he should simply dwell for amoment upon the admirable nature of the personal individual effort in which this society en- gaged those who took part in its great work of mercy. It might be said that, standing upon so noble, so proud, so generous, so libe ground as it occupied, the work must be easy; but it was difficult for this very reason, be- cause of the absolute simplicity of purpose and singieness of heart required, and it was also difficult because it was personal effort in lanes and alleys, in shope and houses in garrets and in cellars, in the streets and by the sea side, anywhere and everywhere—so that anywhere and every- where the heart must be in unison with efforts, ready to carry the individual forward in them, not ar a matter of mere duty, but as with the warmest feelings of the heart. It was neither speech making nor speech hearing, nor anything that depended upon the impulse of public ee pathy, or the sweep of a particular current, or the will of agreat mighty hierarchy. It was the hidden, unseen, humble, pertevering, prayerful, individual’ effort— (Cheers.) How self denying, but how beautiful! How lovely! how excellent! And how admirable was this so- ciety in developing such energetic assistance, unobtru- sively, with such implicity of means. This was the true unity of the church—individual labor for Christ. Aye, and it was admirable in its effect upon individual churches for personal effort to bring men to the Saviour was just what was necessary to keep alive the spirit of Christ in thesoul. That that was greatly neglected, there could be no doubt, and hence it was mainly that the pulse of spiritual life beat so slow and feeble in our souls. Nothing was more necessary to the safet ness of the Christian's spiritual state than effort for the good of others, It was exercise of this kind which was needed (and the only thing which was needed) tomake many a spiritual dyspeptic a healthy, vigorous, joyous, and animated follower of the Lord Jesus. The reverend gentleman then proceeded to show that great promises and encow ents are connected with person- alefforts to win souls to Christ. In the citing he enlarged upon the text, \'He that gooth forth weeping, bearing pre- ious seed,shall com: rejoicing,bringing sheaths with him.” Mr. Cheever’s speech, brief as it was, and diverted from his original purpose, was received with great ap- tse.

He is a whig, and you will draw your own conclusions respecting his nomination by the President. Preparations yare making in the rotunda at the capitol to raise to its place Weir’s celebrated paint- ing of the Landing of the Pilgrims. It is intended to raise it on the 22d inst., the anniversary of their landing. The Italian Company now performing at the Na- tional, will start immediately for New York,where they will play at the Park, in conjunction with Mile. Borghese. Last evening they performed “Norma” to a full,and very fashionable house.— It was beautifully executed, considering the insuffi- ciency of the orchestra, and the few rehe: which were able to be given x Signor La Manna deserves great credit for his skill and patience. 2 2 Mme. Corsini, the Prima Donna, sang admira- bly, executing the most difficult parts with ease.— It is a pity she is rather cool. Mme. Majocchi’s yeice is always acknowledged to be very sweet, and indeed it isso. It would be ve: difficult to find a better Adalgisa. The duett wit Mme. Corsini was warmly applauded. Sig. Perozzi, the tenor, (and the true support of the company,) has been admired by every one. His voice is slvsae fresh, mellifluous, and tender. His action is noble. In his cavatina, duett, and trio above all, he was rapturously applauded. In Phi ladelphia and Baltimore he produced the same ef- fect. Withalhe is handsome and of good dispo- mn. Sig. Vattellina is what is called a true basso—his voice is of ample power in the lower notes, but last night he was not in his best voice on account of a cold. In Norma he has not much to do. T have thus given a brief, but I believe correct critique upon the celebrated Italian Company, para will shortly hear at the Park.

TWENTY-EIGHTH CONGRBSS. FIRST SESSION. Senate. Tuespay, Dec. 19, 1848. Mr. Woopsrinck presenied a petition for a mail route in Michigan (e.also introduced his bill re- lative to certain internal improvements in that State —which was read twice and referred. ( Navy Yarp at Mempuis.—Mr. Foster intro- duced his bill to establish a Navy Yard or Depot, at or near Memphis on the Mississippi river in Tennessee, and aoe for the same an appropria- tion of $160,000—read twice and referred. ‘Worxmen 1s Distness.—Mr. Menaicx presented ame- morial from a number of the workmen in the Navy Yard here at Washington, who represent themselves as in great distress with their’ families, in consequence of being thrown out of employment by the discontinuance of the work upon certain iron vessels. The appropriations had failed, and consequently the work had stopped. Mr. Mer- rick spoke with much feeling upon their case, which he represented as one of peculiar hardship at this inclement season of the year, with families to support. An appro- priation must be made—the work must goon, and he enly asked for an early appropriation, to enable the work to on and meet the necessities of those worthy people. "the subject was referred to the Committee on Finance Compromise Acr—McDurrer’s Bitt.—Mr. McDuffee introduced the following bill, ich was read twice and referred :— A Bill to revive the act of 2d of March, 1833, usually called the “ Compromise Act,” and to modify the exist du- ties upon foreign imports in conformity to its provisions. 8 Be it enacted by the Senate and House of Rep- rese es of the United States of America in Congresse| assembled? that so much of the existing law imposing du- ties upon foreign imports, as provides that duties ad valo- rem on certain commodities shall be assessed upon an assumed minimum value, be, and the same is hereby re- pealed, and that said duties be hereafter assessed on the true value of such commodities. Sxc. 2. And be it further enacted, that in all cases in which the existing duties upon any’ imported commodity exceeds 30 per cent on the value thereof, said duty sh be hereafter reduced to 30 per cent ad valorem. , 3. And be it further enacted, that from and after ay of December next, all duties upon foreign im- ports shall be reduced to re ea cent, and from ‘and,after the 3lst December, 1844, to r cent ad valorem. Mn. Kina made a few remarks in support of the Bill— he thought the present Tariff must be reduced, and de- sired that the whole subject might be taken up and calm- ly considered. He concluded with some remarks respect- the propriety of introducing the Bill in the Senate er than in the House. Mn. McDvrrre said a Bill to raise revenue cannot origi- nate in the Senate, but a Bill to reduce the revenue (as this is) may originate in the Senate. ‘Mn. Evans thought it was a Bill to raise revenue, and therefore could not originate in the Senate ; and at the proper time he would undertake to demonstrate that po- sition. Lanp Crar.—A Bill was read twice and referred, to ad- just certain private land claims between Mississippi and Louisiana. Mr. Watxer gave notice of abill to increase the pay of certain officers of the pee Rep River.—A joint resolution was introduced to pro- vide for the survey of the mouth of River. Read ing rat that a been passed but by northern votes. When, he would ask, for he had been 1 Sr to the question, had Western inte- rests been sustained by Southern men? And yet South- ern men had said (Mr. Holmes for example) that the mo- thers of the States—the old Colonial States—had been poi- soning the West. Mr. Holmes, when making this remark alluded to the tariff. Mr. Winthorp’s reply to this posi tion was happy, and of a character to show that in such a juestion the interests of the country were the same. nd so they were in reference to works of internal im provement. ‘The lakes and rivers of the west were all American, They belonged to the North as well as to the West, and to all in common. Mr. Dovanass, of Illinois, rebuked Mr, Kennedy, of In- diana, for the manner in which he had thrown off all de- ndence or interest upon other sections of the country. ‘rom the remarks which had been made to-day by gentfe- men from the South and the North, there was no reason for seating the friendship of these sections of the coun- try forthe West. Hedid not lightly esteem such regard. ‘The West asked only what was right, and would give in the spirit she asked. Mr. Wisk thought there had been some Moy and tendering in behalf of Western interests dw ng the de- bate, and he thought, too, that injustice had been done to the Old Dominion by some of the representatives from the West. She had given of her substance to the West. Her own dominion made pits West, and yet she was accused of being indifferent to Western interests.

Executive Session.—The Senate here went into session upon Executive business for a short time, and then Adjourned. House of Bepresentatives. The Journal having been read, a number of mem- bers rose to address the House. n. WisE moved that the President's Message be referred to the Committee of the Whole. Ob jections were made to the motion, but upon divi- sion the rules were suspended and it prevailed. The House then went into Committee of the Whole, Mr. Hopkins of Va. in the Chair. Mr. Wise of Va. moved the reference of the Message by resolution to the appropriate Standing Committees of the House, including all the branch- es series attached to the main resolution. that related to Foreign Affairs (including Texes) be referred to the Committee on Foreign Affairs. In- dian Affairs were referred tothe Indian Committee. The Treasury to Ways and Means—Pre-emptions to Public ‘Tande—Arsenals, Army, &e, to the.

Messts. Barnarp, Wisk and others took part in this discussion. _ : Mr. Kennepy, of Indiana, participated in the dis- sussion for the purpose of saying that he was glad the House had fogud out there was such a place as the West. But he should say to gentlemen from other sections of the country, asa Western man, “Stand off.” The West had become an empire of herself, and was strong enough to take care of herself. She would do so, too, and in her own way. Mr, Homes, of S. C., continued the debate. The West, he said, was growing, with a rapidity that no man had an idea of, but it was important for them to rely upon their own resources. Mr. Winxins, of Penn., spoke also generally of the importance of the question. Mr. Bearnsiry of N. Y., asked what the dis- cussion had to do with the question before the fou: What had the Hudson to do with the Mississippi? [The member from Indiana had re ken with disparagement of the Hudson.) What had it todo with the tariff? [Mr. Holmes had al- luded to this subject.) The question before the House was a simple one to refer to the Committee on Commerce a certain portion of the Message. Mr. Tromasson of Ky., was disposed to enlarge the resolution of the gentleman from Kentucky referring the whole subject of inland navigation to the Committee on Commerce. Mr. Harpin of Ill., a new member and an earn- est, zealous speaker, ‘spoke warmly for the interests of the West.

Mr. B. was twice accused of bein, hostile to the West, first by the member from Indiana, and secondly o7 Mr. Brinkerhoff of Ohio. He was charged with opposing western interests—with being hostile to the west. He said he had breathed no such thought. He had said no such thing. He denied the accusation, Mr. Brinkernnor® made the amende honorable and re- ceived the disclaimer; but the other accuser was silent. Mr. Winrnnor (of the Committee on Commerce), said ‘ae could not see Row | so much importance should be at- | tached to the Committee who were to have charge of the subject. He was willing that the Committee on Roads and Canals should have charge of the subject or ~ other Committee, Mr. W. rose to repel the charge or intima. tion that the"west had received no favor from other sec! tions of the country.
