‘The Staten Istand Murder and Arson (ie Tie Evestse Herat, published this after- and noon, will contain a full report of the Staten b Murder and Arson case, with accurate engravings of Polly Bodine aud W Wondertul Progress of the New Philosophy —Fourlerism in the Ascendant—A Great Political and Social Revolution at Hand! One of the most extraordinary movements of the day is, certainly, the astonishing and extraordinary progress of the doctrines of Charles Fourier, and a number of other philosophers of the same stamp in this country, during the last three or four years. This movement, here, originated in this city by two very extraordinary young men—the one is called Albert Brisbane, and the other Horace Greeley. In their early years both of these men exhibited peculiar and remarkable developments of the character as well as the head. Both are sin- cere, energetic, curiously constructed, both in mental and physical organization; and both are un- doubtedly determined to revolutionize the world, in its social code, politics, religion, morals, finance, philosophy, and everything else. We are very firmly convinced now, from the ap- pearances presented in the progress of these singu- Jar developments, that we of this country and gene- Fation are on the verge of a great revulsion or revolution similar to that which visited France at the close of the last century, and bearing, also, some analogy to that which was experienced in Great Britain about the middle of the 17th century. ‘The doctrines respecting the constitution of society— the schemes of reform—the visionary notions—the extreme radical opinions which were propagated by Voltaire, Rousseau, D’Alembert, Maribeau, and ethers, are remarkably identical with those now promulgated under the auspices of Fourier, Bris. bane and Greeley. We are persuaded that this Fou- rier developement, with its great central “Club” in this city, will, probably, in less than a year, pro- duce an entire change in the social, moral, reli- gious and political condition of the United States. The first great object at which this movement ‘aims is, unquestionably, that of a change inthe po- litical condition of the country, by the election of Mr. Clay, with whose principles the new philoso- phers appear to have discovered some sort of affini- ty. Inorder to accomplish this purpose they are scattering their ‘‘associations’’and their “clubs,” and erecting their “tenements” and organizing their “domains” in all the principal intelligent, liberal, and influential States of the Union—such as Pennsylvania, New York, and throughout New England. One of the greatest and clearest demon- strations of their views and doctrines may be found in the proceedings of a “‘ Convention” which was held in Boston,and at which all the leading spirits of this new religion assembled from all parts of the Union. Here is the report precisely as we find it published in the New York Daily Tribune of the first ot January. —price only two cents. Boston, Dec. 30, 1843. i take my pen to givea hurried aud most inadequate ac- count of the Convention of Friends of Asseciution, which has been held, according to previous notice, in this city the present week. The Convention assembled on Tues- day morning in the spacious hall under the Tremont Temple, (late Tremont theatre,) and was organized as fol- lows:—William Bassett, of Lynn, President; Adin Ballou, of Ho) le, G. W. Benson, of Northampton, George Rip- ley, of Brook Farm, and James N. Buffun, of Lynn, Vice Presidents; Eliza J. Kenny, of Salem, and Charles A. Dana, of Brook Farm, Secretaries. Professor Walker, of Oberlin, being present, was invited to preside; but, on ac- count of the immature state of his mind on tho great estions to come before the Convention, he deemed it his Aaty to decline, though he manifested a deep interest in the subject, and subsequently took part in the debates The following gentlemen were appointed a committee of Dusiness, to prepare resolutions, &e : W. H. Channing, of New York, ¢ Ripley, of Brook Farm, John A. Col- Uns, of Skaneateles, N. Y.; David Wilder, G. W. Benson, of Northampton; John Allen and Frederick Dough: All persons interested in the question of Association. whether Fourierites or the advocates of any other plan of social reorganization, were invited to participate in *be discussions. The Convention was thus organized and con ducted on the most enlarged principles of freedom and toleration and the effect of this coursewas seen in the lov- ing and charitable spirit which,with few and slight excep- tions, characterized the proceedings. Persons of widely different opinions in respect to the best mode of Social Re- anization, but who felt a common conviction of the necessity of Association in some form, met asOrethren to impart and receive light on this great and important ques- tion, The sentiments put forth, ay might be exp ‘2 Couveution thus composed, were various end conti but the spirit of Love and Harmony was arikingly mi fested from the commencement te the close.

He mack that, of Rev. vake! ‘ork was decidedly the spoke frequently, sometimes at consider length, but ways with such eloquence of manner and warmth of heart, that the audience never tired of listening to him. ‘The debates took the widest possible range, and braced almost every thing connected in any Way w human welfare, The present false institutions of societ:, were probed with a fearless hand, and their inadequacy to the wants of the race fearlessly exposed. Many crtide notions were of course put forth, but the men who gv ided the deliberations of the Convention were eminent for in- telligent attainments and practical good sense. ‘Tbe ques tion of Association, depend upon it, is taking strotig hold upon thinking minds New England, and the fruite will ere long appear. ‘The question which created the strongest wxcitement in the Convention was that of acommunity of property as presented and defended by Mr. Collins.” On this subject the debates were earnest, and marred occasionally by too great vehemence and impatience. Mr. Collins stood forth ulone in defence of his views, and spoke with his usual ability, but I think the Convention generally had little sympathy with his peculiar epinions, The following resolutions, | believe, are all that the Convention adopted, its object having been mainly to af- ford men of different views to meet each other in free and earnest discussion, rather than to sanction any particular acheme of Association:— Resolved, That the movements now in progress in va- rious parts of the country, designed to promote a Social Reorganization, are the legitimate results of the s Christian Brotherhood, of Liberty, and of Peacetu form; and that the ineficacy of all modes of Public Chai ty to relieve or prevent Pauperism, with its a redations; the injustice of our common sy. the tediousness, the oppressiveness, and Unhealth 8 our habits of Labor; the unequal distribution of means and opportuuities for Culture, Refinement, Recreation, Social Pleasures; and the ion, nbsery distinctions of € based ficial circumstances; the al war tition ; and finally the tendency of owr {nc mercial, and Finan: ti @ Moneyed Feud: their counsel, ene: imperfect. character and » both for children and nee of Woman; the outward and arti- of Compe- y justrial, Com- 1 transactions to the establi —call urgently upon ies and means, these move f others having the stmiler end in view of Uniing ai Coe ficting Interests, and of establishing the relations of Sm I Justice and Love 1g the highest possible Social | a on tho, basis of Univ curing for each human b Good. Resolved, That, grateful for the light which we believe that the Social Science discovered b: | has cast upon the existing evils of Society and their true remedivs, we desire to see a thorough test of the actual working of his principles in an Association, organized upon them as a basis ; and meanwhile commend to the ef- ficient encouragement and aid of all the friends of Human ress, the various Associations for Social Reform al- ly partially established, which recognize individual Rights and the Religious Sentiment ; and wish success to allwho inany way are secking the removal of Social Evils, in the modes which they may deem most true to the Nature of Man and the Laws of God. Resolved, That, in order to give expression to the inter- | eat now awakened on the subject of Social Reform, of en- lightening the public mind upon the principles and means involved in the proposed movements, and of establishing between existing Associations and the public the freest communication, we recommend the formation of Societies See serre ona Counties of the friends of this . under such an organizatfon as may seem t them best, for the purpose of isseminating their Brineiplen | by Lectures, Tracts, Conventions or otherwise ; and, | lastly, by the widest possible circulation of all publica. | tions whieh Stvooate these Reforms. And the Con | earnestly recommend to the friends of H , ‘The Present,’ and ‘The Phalanx,’ as worthy girs most cordial support. Yours, Revivo, | It will be seen from this report, which is brief but | sufficiently significant, and from the resolutions appended, what is the general purpose of these ex- traordinary “associations.” It seems that the movement which commenced in this city, under the auspices of Brisbane and Greeley, is branching Charles Fourier | ad | A. Collins, of Skeneatelas ; whose ereed was bere- | tofore given by us, and presented some very movel and striking views on property, religion, morals, marriage and dietetics. But with the cunning sagacity and shrewdness which characterized Voltaire, Reuswaau and their brother reformers | of that day, this remarkable Convention discussed | ali these radical questions for the purpose of com- meneing the agitation of them—delaying, however, all proposed action on them, and meanwhile co. | vering them up with a set of splendid generalities, | which are found in the resolutions under the sound- ing appellation of * Christian morality”— peace- | fal) reform”’—* refinement”: “popular education” —‘monied feudaliam ”— ‘© union of conflicting interests” —‘‘ social sense” — “individual rights”—and all those phrases’ well enough understood by the philosophers, but not yet revealed to the world. In all this business the Rev. W. H. Channing of New York, and John A. Col- lins of Skeneateles, were the great leading and mas- ter spirits, Of Mr. Channing’s opinions in religion, we have heretofore had sufficient notice. We remember some of his lectures here, and, so far as they could be interpreted and understood, his theory of Chris- tianity is that every man is the son of God—every individual is charged with a mission similar to that | of Jesusof Nazareth :-—and we believe this corres- ponds entirely with the belief and opinions of the distinguished philosopher Orestes A. Brownson. Of the doctrines of John A. Collins, we are still more clearly informed. He goes distinctly and de- cidedly for a community of property—regards mar- | riage as merely an act of convenience, to be an- \ nulled atthe pleasure of the parties—and that ve- getable food is the sole proper sustenance of man, having been that only used by Adam and Eve in Paradise, and its value and superiority being so signally manifested in the practical case of Horace Greeley who has adhered to this system of dietetics for many years. This is certainly a singular age. It is an age preg- nant with great developements. We are certainly on the eve of a most remarkable revolution of some kind. We see thesignsbefore us and around us, and in every direction in which we look. These signs of the times are precisely like those which ushered in the era of the French revolution. And, singular enough, the men who conduct this new revolution in this new America are men, some of them at least, of equal talent, singular principles, and radi- cal and ultra notions with those who for a time ex- rcised such omnipotent control over popular opin- ion in France. And they have now a great ma- chinery at their disposal: they have their presses —their daily, and weekly and monthly preases. The Tribune is a very efficient agent—faithful, persevering, unceasing in its advocacy of the cause. We consider the election of Mr. Clay as certain. There can be no doubt of it. These new philoso- phers have taken up his cause, and, though of little influenoe individually, yet the impulses which they communicate to the popular mind, and the variety of elements they combine and exercise, make them powerfal. We repeat it, and the issue will soon be still more manifest—Mr. Clay is certain to be triumphanily carried ‘into the White House. Tux Hoty War.—Of all the melancholy and disreputable sights that ever respectable men made before the world, is that of the Rev. Dr. Potts and the Rey. Dr. Wainwright discussing in the public papers whether a “church can exist with- e out a bishop?’ Why not as well ask if chowder can exist without crackers? We never thought that Dr. Wainwright would so exhibit hi «elf; as lor poor Potts, tho vul- gar display is just cqual to his calibre, capa- city, taste, and talent. Can any benefit come of this vulgar discussion? Will religion or morality be spread wider? Will souls be saved? Will Christianity be rendered meeker and holier? or rather will not infidels scoff and titter at the ridicu- lons position of the two clerical belligerants, while the angels from blue heaven will be looking down on Manhattan Island below, and covering their faces with bright wings to hide their sorrow and grief. News, if Trvug—Sreciay Express Artantic.—It has been reported that . B. Townsend & Co., the enterprising pub- lishers of the New York Express, have chartered a British government steamer, at an enormous expense, as Barnum gets up his Gipsey girls, to bring tem important intelligence here in a few days, This steamer was to sailon': 25th ult., and is confidently expected here to-day or to-morrow. She was to bring over the new British minister gratis, besides a large box of specie from the Rev. Sidney Smith, equal to $51,676 46}, to Wm. B. Townsend & Co. for tho purpose of investing in building lots on Staten Island, which he prefers to Pennsylvania stock ; also, a large sum of money Yor General Green to start his new free trade paper upon; also, a new coat and a pair of breeches, made by Stultz, for James F. Otis, Esq. the editor of the Express. Indeed, we should not be surprised if this new steamer, with the screw in her bottom, d the Snorter, were also to bring out anew minister from Queen Victoria to the government of Coney Island, and also some splendid presents to Governor Gil Davis. Who knows? At any rate, we have two steamers, three oyster boats, and a scow, all outside the Hook, waiting to board her. So look out for news. Arrests ror THE Rospery or Pomenoy’s Ex- press.—We take the following from the Albany Argus of the 6th inst. ‘The Western train yesterday afternoon brought the as- tounding intelligence of the arrest of Mr. Philo N. Rust, proprietor of the Syracuse House, on suspicion of havin; been concerned in the robbery of Pomeroy’s trunic an money, The arrest issaid to have been made at 6 o'clock yesterday morning by the Sheriff of Erie county; who had already arrested a suppored accom lice of the name of Banks. We have heard few particulars, and these too vagueto be repeated. Nor do we pretend to know how far they justify this step, or what the actual grounds of suspicion are. We hope it may prove to be a groundles: suspicion. It is difficult to believe that Mr. R. could have been in any manner connected with the robbery. We know Mr. Rust very well as the keeper of the Syracuse House, and we can hardly believe him to be guilty of the robbery. He is aman of wealth, and, has hitherto stood high in the esti- imation of the people in his section of the country. are the color of events in these latter days. city is full of rumors relative to these ar- rests, and in the excitement produced thereby, partly in consequence of the respectability of the persons arrested, it is almost an impossibility to arrive at the truth. We, therefore give the reports 1s we have heard them. Artaxtic Packer Swim Yorxsuing.—This mag- ficent packet was thrown open ast Saturday to the public. Between eleven and three she was vi- sited by the élite of the city, At two o'clock she | was presented with a splendid set of flags, signals, and. cabin cutlery, by the Yorkshire gentlemen of this city, in return for the compliment paid them in naming herafter their birth place. This exhibition of ship, gifts, and company, can- | not be passed by withoutaremark, Inthe Yorkshire there is most everything that is splendid. In the flags, cutlery, &c., the gentlemen of Yorkshire have thrown in a portion of the beauty of the ship. No- thing is now wanting to make her parfait but a few views of the “Eye of England,” as the shire is called. We understand that these views are to be given to her by the leading men on the other side of the Atlantic. Weare glad of this. ‘The presentation of the flags, &c., on Saturday, was a splendid affair throughout. There were as- sembled. in the cabin, at the time, aout two hun- dred of our first merchants and shipmasters. Be- fore thém was a capital’dinner, with the new cabin cutlery; above them gaily floated the flags and sig- nals; and in their midst was the immortal Tom Thumb, walking around the plates as easily as those who have signed the pledge walk through our streets. Mr. Henry Jessup, in behalf of his fellow countrymen, presented the flags, We., wrapped up in a neat speech, to Capt. Marshall, part owner and agent of the ship, Captain M. replied in a very handsome manner. He stated that pack- ets were first started in 1817, and since then most astonishing improvements. have been made inship building. Then, packets were looked upon as 50 many floating chimeras on the Atlantic ; now they are looked upon as so many palaces, as uselul as they are splendid, floating off from our shores to those of old England. After this presentation, which was so apropos, Tom Thumb, who has en- gaged five state rooms for himself and friends, hop- ped upon a piece of excellent dla mode beef and sung the “Deep, deep sea!” He then resumed his seat on a cut glass tumbler, and the utmost con- viviality prevailed till late in the afternoon. When Capt. Bailey, the gentlemanly commander of the Yorkshire, was toasted, he made a capital speech, in which he explained to the satisjaction of every one, that fourteen days was time enough to take in running across the Atlantic, wind and wea- ther permitting ; and that icebergs were only so many big boulders from the north. It is the com- mon remark among sharke, when Captain B. goes to sea, that ‘ it is useless to attempt to follow that ship, for Bailey is on board of her.” Such is his reputation for speed even among the inhabitants of the deep. Among those on board were Captains Cobb, Ro- gers, Barstow, Marshall, &c., old packet com™ manders, all of whom, except Captain Barstow, have retired from active service, but who have in- vested a large part of their riches in building such ships as the Yorkshire, Ashburton, Queen of the West, &c. &c., And it is a fact that at least one third of the shipping belonging te this port is owned by shipmasters in and out of service. Many of our finest packets are almost wholly owned by these en- terprising men, and itis to them that this country is indebted for the superiority of our ships over those of every other nation in the world. Within the last ten years, a dozen or more of our packet contains, namely,Maxwell,Cobb, the Marshalls, the Palmers, Waite, &e., &e., have left their big wooden ploughs on the Atlantic, and gone to small iron ploughs on land. Its said that Captain Maxwell isthe largest farmer in Pennsylvania, and Cap- tain Waite owns a lovely place in Connecti- Cihe canta Manor. and at the last accounts he was up for Town Clerk, die mignest office in the gift of the people in his part of the country. Whenon the Atlantic, these sailor-farmers reaped dollars and silver pitchers; now they reap cats, wheat, rye, &c. With their cattle ft is ** star- bord,” instead of “ gee-bright,” and “ larbord,” in- stead of “haw-buck.”? There are no such words as ‘« gee-up-gee ho,” in their language. But inthe midst of the gaiety and conviviality on board the Yorksh intelligence reached town that Captain Burrows, the much esteemed Burrows, of the George Washington,was no more! Instantly every thing turned from gay to grave ; flags and streamers that had floated so joyously over the splendid Yorkshire were lowered to half-mast, and all looked sad and gloomy. Captain Bailey, who was so happy, was now the most sorrowful, for he had lost one of his dearest friends. Never was change so sudden or so great as this change from pleasure to sadness. Throughout that night and throughout yesterday, the flags of all the ship- ping, as wellas the Yorkshire, were displayed at half-mast in token of respect to the departed Cap- tain. Write ‘Tue Srarex Istanp Murper.—In yesterday morning’s edition, we have given the full particu- lars of this horrible murder, and the commitment of Waite as an accessory after the fact. Rumors have since been prevalent that confessions and revelations have been made tending more strongly to elucidate and confirm the previous suspicions elicited by the testimony as published in this paper. On Saturday evening, several persons, representing themselves from Staten Island, were hawking about what they alleged to be a confession of Polly Bo- dine. It was offered to us, exclusively, but doubting its authenticity, and caring little even if it was au- thentic, we refused to purchase it, and the pasties afterwards applied to several other establishments, where they obtained about the same encourage- ment. Itis possible that Polly Bodine may have made a confession ; but whether she has or not, the public care very little, as the testimony already elici- ted has proved sufficient to satisfy the whole commu- nity of her participation in this unnatural crime.— Thé various false statements promulgated by a por- tion of the city press during the past week should cause the community to place no reliance upon statements not confirmed by some official action. The examination of this woman was set down for to-day. We shall have a reporter on the spot, and all the facts connected with the case will be given in our evening edition. Tur New York Orgrra Housg—Casren.an anv Borcusse—Furtnen Particutars.—This elegant establishment is now in great forwardness; the graceful outline of the dress circle, the imposing succession of seats, the picturesque form of the stage and the novel and tasteful decorative de- signs, are already in view, and almost make men mad.

Mr. Tyrrell, one of the traversers in the state prosecu- tions, died at Lusk, on the 4th ult. He was 51 years of age, and his death was caused by intense anxiety acting on a weak and debilitated constitu- tion. He was called a martyr to the Repeal cause. ‘The Irish provincial papers mention reductions of rent in various parts of the country, owing to the depressed value of agricultural produce. Nothing from France, or from any part of the Continent. News from that quarter was anticipat- ed by the Burgundy. A new difference had arisen at Tunis between the Bey and Rear Admiral Bandeira, The Admi- ral having presented to the Bey a firman of the Porte, granting certain commercial advantages in the Regency to Austrian trade, he refused to act upon it, observing that Austria had never consent- ed to recognise his government. The Bank of England has given notice of its readiness to lend, on approved security, sums of not less than £2,000 each, at 3 per cent, till the 17th January next. Dr. Wolff, who has gone in quest of Major Stod- dart and Captain Conolly, arrived at Constantinople on the 7th ult. and was preparing to proceed imme- diately on his arduous journey. Information respecting New Zealand has been received, according to which the late disturbanccs there are represented to have assumed a character even more formidable than was at first supposed. Some of the leading English residents engaged in the affair at Cloudy bay, we are informed, have met with an untimely death. There is published in Frazer's Magazine for De- fund—£44,300.

Our legislative chambers will ope in about three weeks, and there are hardly ten of the deputies from the provinces in Paris. Ministers are in the mean time busy in preparing important laws on commerce, railways, and other objects apemy af. fecting our material interests Thank God, ail parties, conservatives, doctrinaires, legi ists und republicans are quite worn out with continual skir- mishes conferring no visible benefit to either of them; so that we might anticipate a session of un- usual calmness, if the affairs of Spain had not as- sumed of late such a very threatening appearance. Reports are gaining ground to day, that something more important had happened than Olozaga’s dis- mi ; and Government is accused, as usual, of keeping back telegraphical despatches. Queen Christine remained all morning with the king, and after her departure ministers were summoned to a council, at which Louis Philippe presided, and which lasted four hours. Alter it was broken up numerous couriers were sent off in every direction. This new catastrophe is a sad disappointment to Guizot, who had already prepared a paragraph in the speech of the crown highly complimenting Spain on its present tranquility. 4 ‘The presence ¢f the Duke of Bordeaux in Lon- don isa thorn in the eyes of the Orleans fainily, perhaps as annoying as the opposition with which the fortifications of Paris meet throughout the whole country.

This kind of ostracism is universally condemned, as giving too great an importance to the movements of the duke In the meantime he is enjoying himself, and receiving at his hotel in Belgrave square, several distinguished families from the Faubourg St. Germain.

He is going to take his departure on the fifteenth of this month, a few days before the queen is expected to arrive at Windsor. It is openly said in London, that she was in a great cember, an article headed ‘* Fanny Elssler at the Havana,” which purports to be the impressions of Fanny herself. We rather suspect, however, that the article was written by Monsieur Wickoff. We give afew extracts. ‘“ Fanny Elssler in Paris,” is to follow. Fanny conp Act.” ELssLER aT THE Havanau.— “Tue Se- fhe second act was to decide my fate, and theirs, J felt the public were not wit! me yet; they were cold, almost indifferent. This ed me, and I decided on attacking them vigor- ously. The moment came, and my efforts were not unavailing? ‘Mes pointes” astonished them, at the applause was vehement I quitted the stage pretty well satisfied. It was now the time of the “Sylphides.” They began, amid the silent wonder e awn whila they akcamtad ardor > but some Yatal evolutions threw them into contu- sion. Sylvain shouted at them, “right!” “left!” irom the side scenes; but this only confounded them the more. They looked at each other in dis- may ;, the audience began to hiss, and away they went ina scamper right off the stage. One luck- less creature was too heavy and. short-winded to keep up with the rest; she got fairly distanced, or perhaps, was not aware at first_of the decampment of her companions. My eye fell upon her as she stood in the centre of this great stage. Horrified at finding herself quite alone, she set off on a brisk trot to the right; but then changed her mind, wheeled round, and broke into a wild gallop of her own composition. This wastoo much for the house —they fell into convulsions of laughter that 1 thought would never end. 1 was heartily vexed, as fearing it would be disastrous to me ; but who could retain gravity with such a grotesque event to overturn it? and Taughed along with the rest. It was impossi- ble to bring the house back to sobriety ; the sight of these yellow fairies at once infected them, and the ballet proceeded amid a badly suppressed titter. Fanny Exssuer’s Havanan ?Syiruipes.—The appearance of the ‘‘sylphides” provoked, as I ani- cipated, great merriment ; and, truly, they were ir- resistible, Their dresses were exceedingly ill made; their wreaths of the cheapest materials ; ind, by way _of abating the effect of their brown bosoms, Don Marti had encased them in bright yel- low chemisettes. This was putting powder on the fire. Their arms and legs were left to take care of themselves. Just before they went on the stage, the ballet-master, Sylvain, determined, in a mo- ment of desperation, to whitewash them, which he actually effected with a large brush and some white mixture. I leave the effect to your imagina- tion.—Fraser’s Magazine. Fanny Exssier’s Descrivtion or THe Lapis or THE Havanan.—Whilst the curtain’s down, ma ceére Henriette, you will pardon my looking round it the new faces about me. What a contrast to the fair complexi 1 have just left behind me! Here is every shade of brown, but set off with such lark eyes, plowing and flashing, that one 1s half ifraid to look at them. Black hair and eyebrows finish the portrait, that is decidedly one of the southern growth. I feel timid in giving first im- sessions where unfavourable ; but I found the toi- lette of the ladies generally bad. It was mostly ¥rench; but their dresses were ill made, though of the richest material, and had an ugly effect. 1 ob- served they wore no stays, and this gave a very sack-like appearance to their bodies, tied round, as they were, with a string. The Havana ladies are full to etoutness, falling, indeed, under the suspicion of fatness, which comes of their taking so little ex- *rcise—a sacrifice they willingly make to preserve the beauty of their small feet, most ludicrously dis- proportioned to the superstructure above. Their hands are pretty, and in public are most actively occupied with their fans, which they openand shut with a coquetry quite seductive.

Mr. Teste has been treating for some time with the proprietors of the railway from Paris to Versailles (rive gauche) for the sake of making a trial with the atrospheric system, as on the rail- aay between Kingston and Dalkey, and Messrs. Mallet and Teissere, the government agents, who have been sent to Ireland for the sake of investi- gating the matter, think the plan feasable, but the French company doubt its ‘llicacy on longer dis- tances. Our city is at present infested by a gang of rob- ders, part of whom have been tried and condemned to the galleys. Twenty-s.x are already in the hands of justice. “One of them said during the trial, that they will not be missed, as there are still two hun- dred at large.

The imbecility of King Otho would be the least evil; but it is the Ca- marilla, consisting of men void of. every exalted sentiment and true principle of virtue, whieh is plunging our beautiful country—the theme of old and modern poetry—into an abyss whose ground is scarealy, see x A get of aeipaens are tig ta janging about the court, speculating on our y exhausted treasury, and muking, wid full pockets, for their fatherland. 5 Regularity and order, which ought to be the basis of every well governed country, is a mere sound inthe ‘mouths of our would-be statesmen.— Anarchy is showing her broad face in every branch —civil and military, Our army is utterly dizorgan- ized. A riot broke out in the garrison of Missol- onghi, because the commander ordered his soldiers to carry havresacks. The soldiers refused, and were assisted by the non-commissioned officers... captain received a wound in the head,so that his lift is anenen of. The battalion has been since dis- solved, the officers degraded to the ranks, and twelve of the oldest soldiers shot. Onur misery comes not so much from internal causes, as from foreigninfluences, The northern courts do not look with, favorable eyes on the re- cent movement, and their respective ambassadors keep aloof from the palace. Mr. Katakazy, the Russian envoy, has been re- called; for what reason is unknown, 43 he foment- ed the last revolution, eprecatle to orders received, if rumor speaks true. Russia plays here the same louble game as in Turkey, placing every impedi- ment in the way of those sovereigns on whose do- minions she keeps her ragacious eyes fixed. As a cause for Katakazy’s disgrace, is assigned the con- trary direction which the revolution took, Others consider it as a trick to. dupe the eyes of Europe, by publicly disavowing the agent,whose course she secretly approves. Atall events, Russia lost allher, influence on Greece through the crooked ways of her policy, to the great satisfaction of France and England, who are the winning parties. The opening of the National Assembly ought to have taken place on the 13th of November, but was postponed till the 20th.

He pronounced the Tollowinig beech t GENTLEMEN RePReseNTATIVESs OF THE NATION :— I come amongst you, firmly believing. that thix assem. bly — be a source of great happiness to Greece—dear to us all.

Otho would have, in that cise, a double advantage, being both a child and a ool. Very respectfully, Turkey. (Correspondence of the Herald.) _ _, ConsTanrinorLE, Nov. 18, 1843. We are jogging on in our usual way of intrigues ind quarrels between the ambassadors of foreign yowers. The Sultan could easily saye a large sum, if he would dismiss his own ministers, and eave the management of his empire to England ind France, or to Russia and Austria. Every ap- vointinent by the Divan is sure to give cause to re- monstraaces from one or the other of these gen- lemen, whose business it is to represent their lords and masters at the Porte. 80, tor instance, the 1omination of Kiamil Pacha to the governorship of Bosnia, was disapproved by the Russian ambas- sador. England and France keep rather quiet tor che present, because they have nothing to find ‘ault with—the Turkish government having pro- nised a strict neutrality in the affairs of Greece. But it will not be long betore they will begin again co quarrel, and Austria will have again to play the mediator. It would be much better if the Sultan sould keep a high hand over the foreign powers, as re does over his own faithful subjects. One who is troublesome, but usefal, is appointed ambassa- jor for some time; as, instance, Rheshid Pacha, who is going to France; others of less im- portance die of apoplexy or of the plague. Stran- salen and aad form the principal levers of urkish and Egyptian policy, as you can see from the following list :— Ist.—Ahmed Pacha, Governor of Sennas, sus- pected to be contaminated with ideas of indepen- dence, dies suddenly of a pernicious fever. 2d.—Osman Pacha, commander of Mehemet- Ali’s fleet, incurs the displeasure of his master, flies to Constantinople, and dies of the plague. 3d.—Tonssoum Pacha, second son of Mehemet- Ali, blames his father’s government, and is a fa- vourite with the Turks and Arabs, which excites he jealousy of his elder brother, Ibrahim Pacha. {brahim makes him a present of a beautiful Geor- sean slave—he passes one night with her, and dies of the plague. The slave is still living. 4th.—Mahmoud Bey, minister of war, suspected of entertaining relations with the Porte, is sent ‘i prisoner to his country seat, and dies there. (1837.) 5th.—Sultan Mahmoud suddenly dies after the rattle of Nezib. (IS40.) : 6ith.—Abdi Bey, administrator of Egypt, flies to Yonstantinople. He is pardoned at the interces- sion of his father, and dies two days after his re- urn. (1841.) : i Mustapha Bey dies snlgenly in 1842; Hassan acha, and lots of Pacha, chief of Albany, Seid others, died through the intervention of Provi- lence, which eee to have quite a good under- standing with Mehemet-Ali and the Sultan in re- noving obnoxious persons. But it is to be hoped that the cruel execution of he Armenian Arghine, who fell # sacrifice to Turkish religious prejudices, for having abjured {slamism, will exercise a beneficial influence here- ufter, The energetic protestations of the French ind English ambassadore, supported by nearly all the diplomatical corps, have induced the Sultan to modify those cruel laws, and to introduce a spirit of tolerance more in conformity with the present state of civilization. The result of this interces- sion was a complete ministerial revolution, But the most remarkable thing is the conduct of the Sultan’s mother, who blamed her son for his cru- slty, and reproached him with having lowered Turkey in the eyes of Europe. “ Women appear to play an important part in the politics of the East, It is universally known, that Mehemet trusts his female relations with the most delicate points of his internal policy. This is not quite so astonishing if it is considered that they are of a mote liberal and faithful disposition, because they never have any connexion with the priests, who possess an immense influence over the men. {tis not the first time that Abdul wala 4 mother »pposed the pernicious ascendency of the priests rver the weak mind of her son.
