NEW YORE SESALD. New York, Tuceday, February 20, 1844. Non-Arrival of the Steam Ship Hiberuia. When the “land mail” left Boston at one o’clock on Sunday afternood, the steam ship Hibernia had not made her appearance. She had then been four- teen days at sea. It isvery probable that she am rived there before four o’clock yesterday afternoon, and in that case we shall receive her news some- time this morning, which will be issued immedi- ately in an Extra Hrratp. It will be highly im- portant in any and every respect at which it can be received. Twe Maryann Exgction—SincuLar ConpuctT or THE Free Trapr Men.—The more we examine the results of the recent Maryland election, the more we are surprised, astounded, and coniounded at its very curious and remarkable results. One point strikes us very significantly. There can be no doubt in analysing the results and comparing them with former results, that the defeat of the lo- cofoco party is owing entirely to the defection of the Calhoun men in Maryland—the friends of the South Carolina statesman in that State being very numerous. Now the oddity of the result is this: Here is a certain party of men,hoisting the free trade standard—making that the shibboleth of theirparty for yeats—a sort of sine qua non with all candidates for theirsuffrages—here is this party, when their an- tagonists, the high protective men, under the skil- | ful management of Mr. Kennedy, come forward and offer them battle, ingloriously fleeing from the field and suffering their opponents to carry the State almost by default, so faras they are concerned ! ‘What are we to understand from this conduct of the free-trade friends of Mr. Calhoun? Is this an evidence of their great chivalry in favor of their own principles, and their indifference as to mere men? We think not. We think they have aban- doned their case at a most important point of the contest, and given a victory to the high-tariff, bank and assumption men, that will contribute more to kill free trade, and to kill Mr. Calhoun, and to kill all the other interests depending on it, than any thing which has yet taken place. The only con- clusion to which we can come is, that with all their chivalric pretensions, the free trade men of Maryland, and perhaps those of northern States generally, and with all their enthusiasm for their principles, they prefer men to them after all, or they would not abandon their party at a most im- portant crisis—at the very straits of Thermopylz, as it were. This is the singular result of that election there- fore, and shows mest conclusively that if the friends of Mr. Calhoun, General Cass, and all the other antagonists of Mr. Van Buren are going to remain at home in the ensuing Presidential contest, Mr. Clay and his principles will have a most over- whelming victory at the polls. Well, if it be so, we don’t care. If the friends of free trade—the chivalric friends of free trade—the enthusiastic friends of free trade, thus abandon their own cause at the most interesting crisis in the contest—at the very bridge of Lodi—at the scaling of the Alps—be iteo. Bat let them never talk again about attach ment to principles in preference to men, or chivalry in prelerence to indolence hereafter. Tux exrecren Financial. Deverorments.—The exposition promised by Mr. Graham, the Post- master of this city, in reference to the North American Trust Company, is looked for with a great deal of interest by the whole community, high and low. Indeed, the explosion of that com- pany, and the remarkable revelations respecting other trust and banking corporations, have created a feeling in this community such as we never re- collect to have met with before. And this feeling never will rest until there be some radical change made in the estimation of the private and individ- ual character of those persons who have been con- nected with these affairs. Look at the extraordinary developments made in this city in relation to many monied incorporations. Look at the deception, the fraud, the wholesale plunder of the widow and orphan. Look at these developments implicating men who impudently arrogate to themselves the highest position in society, and then look at the apathy with which these things are regarded by the great mass of the community. A few years t ago, implication with such cases as those of recent occurrence would have hurled any man, whatever his atation, to merited disgrace and oblivion. But now, these men come forward with all the impu- dence and nonchalance in the world, and appear to consider that the only difference in public robbery is that of respectability uccording to the amount plundered ! Our courts, and juries, and public press—that is, what is called the respectable pertion of it—and our pulpits, and all the civil institutions of society, are silenced. The only real representation of the moral feelings of a community of honest men is to be found ina small portion of the press who are inde- pendent of all these financial and other deleterious influences. But, after all, we believe that a crisis has.come, and that a deep feeling of indignation has been awakened in the public mind against all who have disgraced themselves, their families, their comexions, and their country, by gross mal- versation in office and gross plundering in private institutions. It is time that these crimes should be checked in future, and their perpetrators placed in their proper position hereafter. Avorner Deratcation.—It is ramored that there has another extensive defalcation taken place. A Wine Movements 1x ta Crry.—The whigs are preparing to organize for the spring election, and from all appearances they are determined not to be merged into the Native American phalanx. Last evening they opened the ball in the Enghth Ward with fine music—beautiful girls—elegant dancing—and all the other matters belonging there- to. From the following bulletin it will be perceiv- ed that they are about to nomimate a Mayor for themselves :— _GG-Tur Democratic WiiG Exectons of the City and County of New York are requested to assemble in their respective Wards at the hereafter designated, on Monday Ev 4 inst., for the purpose of select- three from each Ward, to represent them in Mayo.

But in addition to this, the regular movement of the party, there is an auxiliary movement, called “Clay Clubs,” headed by that distinguished poli- tician, J. N. Reynolds, from Symmes’ Hole—the great antagonist of Col. Webb. He has issued his bulletin, in the following style :— Cor. James Watson Wenn :— ‘Six :—I have just had my attention drawn to an article in the Courier ‘of yesterday in which it ix supposed you seek a political tilt with me.

N. REYNOLDS, P. 8 —The Central Committee met on Friday evening in all their strength—a fine spirit and entire unanimity pervaded their counsels. They have resolved to unite with the other Committees in —— jubilee on the 4th March. They will hold their elect on the 8th proximo. Can’t you get into the Committee, Colapel, and try your hand for the Presidency? True, they may not elect you, but, then, like many other disin' Patriots, you can console yourself by the reflection that “Republics are un- grateful” JN. R. It seems that Captain Reynolds, who is some- thing of a philosopher, and entertains some rather original ideas respecting the earth’scentre, has joined his forces to the Fourierites, and is deter- mined to sustain the whig cayse in this State, without any aid from any other quarter, and least of all from the gallant Colonel in Wall street. This at once makes a distinct line of separation between the Wall street whigs, under the guidance of Chris- tian Webb, and the Foyrierite whigs, under the leadership of Philosopher Greeley and Co., and the whole of the modern new lights. Proaress or Fougignism.—The great revolution under the guidance of Greeley and Brisbane stil] goesahead. We copy from the organ, the daily Tribune of yesterday, the following announcement of a new literary effort in the cause :— Parke Godwin, ofthis city kas In press, and will publish, win, city, has , and wi through But & Stringer, in e few day meron calied “A Popular View of the Doctrine of Charles Fourier.” This work is intended fire @ concise yet complete view of all the doctrines of in ation of labor and to the higher questions of popu- mn and religion.

This will doubtless be a curious affair. But after we read it, we shall go to the fountain head—to Fourier himself. The convention, too, next month, will help to reveal the doctrines and views of the new sect. Re-arrest or Borrsrorp.—Our readers may re- member, that some time since Samuel Bottsford and George Gage, were arrested on suspicion of having been concerned in the robbery of the Trea- sury Notes at Van Buren, Arkansas. At that time Gage was committed, and 1s still in jail, not being able to procure bail. Yesterday afternoon Bottsford was re-arrested by officer Stokely, on new and important information. It appears that while passing through Cincinnati, he met a lady who had gold, which being too inconvenient for Proaress oy Morat Reroru.—The movement made in favor of a new decided moral reform for the purity and preservation of our social system, is making great adyances—and particularly in the great west.

What does the old Btate of New York do? Inthe House of Assembly, a report with the draft of a law has been made—but not another step has been taken—and nothing is likely to be done, except to give itthe go by. Many are disposed to believe that the consciences of the honorable legislators will not allow them to act-that to pass such a law would be to condemn themselves for the past—and to abolish their privileges for the future. This is very likely indeed—for very generally the greatest knaves in any community are picked up and sent to represent the people ‘in legislative bodies. Honest, industrious men, have enough to do with their own affairs—and seldom will accept dirty office, which requires ditty conduct to keep. Again, there is a strong opposition made to such a law by the financiers, defaulters, fashionables, ex- bankrupts, and moustached gentry of New York, who assail it with the shafts of ridicule. If such a law were to pass, it is also feared that several new state prisons would have to be built, to meet the fashionable wants of this enlightened and christian age. Accordingly the greatest efforts are making to stifle the bill in the bud, and to preserve the se- ducers’ hunting grounds from all legal poachers. We'll see with what success. Tump Nicut oF Berisario.—An old Italian proverb says, ‘‘ chi va piano, va sano; who walks softly, walks safe. With due respect for the ac- knowledged infallibility of proverbs, it is but justice to mention, that it cannot be applied to the Italian opera, which walks forte and sano. 1s there any thing more required than full and delighted au- diences, improved in mind and heart? for nobody can deny to good and well executed musie these happy results. The plot of Belisario, entirely free from love matters, presents the highly moral pic- ture of gratitude in Alamiro, exalted patriotism in Belisario, and filial love in Irene; even the dark sides of the character of Antonina are palliated, through a delusion of injured maternal feelings. Borghese’s conception of Irene is undoubtedly one of the most splendid creations of histrionic art, and this superiority is rendered even more palpa- ble through Majocchi’s Antonina. The one ele- vates her not very striking, although beautiful part —creates an interest which it has not ; the other strips hers of the brilliant, although superficial tex- ture, given by the composer, and presents it in Prorgsson Govraup’s System or Mxemonics.— ‘Tne PROTER MODE OF acquininc _KNowLEDGE.— This’ is am excitable community.

We give the Queen’s Speech. Nothing done. The State Triais. The absorbing topic of the day is the State trials, which are now taking place in Dublin. The preli- munary steps have been marked by all the excite- ment and bad feeling between the opposing parties, for which unhappy Ireland is distinguished. The striking of the special jury which is to try the issue, has ranged against the Government all the Roman Cathoric party who were not previously Repealers. From some hundreds of names on the panel, forty- eight were drawn by ballot,the traverserspossessiug the same right as the Crown of peremptorily chal- lenging twelve—twelve on each side. It happened that out of the forty-eight drawn, eleven were Roman Gatholics; these the Govein- ment challenged, and the whole were struck off, the representative of the traversers during this pro- cess, ‘there goes a Catholic! another Papist struck off !” &c. ‘This affairhasset the country in a blaze, so to speak, and unpopular as were the proceedings before, it has made them worse. That proceeding, as may be imagined, gave great umbrage to the Repeal party, and the Government has been at- tacked with great bitterness for adopting a line of conduct which looks very like a foregone conclu- sion to pack a jury to ensure a conviction. So great was the indignation experienced in Ireland at the striking off all the Roman Catholics from the jury list, that a requisition for calling an aggregate meeting of the Catholics of Ireland was signed in three hours by sixty-five barristers, only three of whom are Repealers. ‘The three first names ap- pended to the requisition were Richard Lalor Shiel, M.P.; Thos.

He dwelt much upon 4 the patriotism of his talented friend, the member from Limerick, and spoke of the debt which was due to that gentleman by his country. In concly- ding, he expressed his delight at the perfect tran- quility that prevailed all over Ireland. The valu> the people of Ireland would receive for that quic- tude, would be the Bepesl of the Union. He only disapproved of the diminution of the repeal rent— it was the idlest thing imaginable for men to be keeping back their donations, and waiting to see who would send in most after the trials. Hewey- er, peace and perseverance was his motto, and it was peace and perseverance that would bring back the Parliament to College Green. Prussia. A letter from Berlin states that Prussia is about, to conclude a treaty with the United States of North America, for the extradition of some classes of criminals. It seems that a civil suit respecting the sale of a large tract of Lwuisiana, the documents concerning’ which sale have been sent from Louisiana to the American Am- bassador at Berlin, bas given him occasion to ask for legal measures aguinst a Geiman family formerly residing in Louisiana, but now settled in Berlin. The reqnest of the Ambassador has been accorded to on condition of reciprocity. It is to be hoped that the treaty will extend ‘to all the States of the Union. ‘The Queen’s Speech.
