Tue Marytann Execrion—Dirrerences oF Oprnions.—The recent election in Maryland seems to have created a great deal of difference of opinion amongst the small fry politicians of the day, and particularly those who belong to this and that party, just as cattle to their owner, or slaves to their mas- ter. We find this particularly amongst the ultra friends of Clay and the ultra supporters of Calhoun. Our honest, impartial, philosophical, and perfectly free opinion of that election, and the results involv- ed in the contest, is, it seems, by no means satisfac- tory to these gentry, We shall begin with the Fourier section of the whig party. The Daily Tri- bune has the following :— ‘The Herald (which is falsely cited in the locofoco jour- nals, whenever it suits their purpose, asa whig paper) has at least three times clearly asserted thut the whigs of Maryland in their late contest proclaimed the Assumption of State Debts by the Federal Government as one of the cardinal prineiples of the whig party. Will the editor atate on Seteek grains this assertion is made? We await his answer before characterizing the representation in the terms which we deem appropriate and righteous. Without stopping a moment to chastise as it de- serves the impudent charlatanism of this Fourierite philosopher, whose common language, to a person who differs from him in opinion, is, “ villian,” “scoundrel,” “rascal,” and such like terms,we will at once praceed to show that vur opinion, as to the issues involved in that election, is perfectly correct, and susceptible of the clearest posible demonstra- tion in every point of view. We have said that in the recent election in Mary- land, so far as we could ascertain, from the decla- rations of parties beforehand, the whigs conducted the controversy in favor of a National Bank—a pro- tective tariff—and distribution of the land revenues, or assumption of State debt. This latter point seems to be denied by the Fourirer whig organ. Now we will explain. The real practical question involved is some mode of appropriating the revenues accruing from the public lands, by which the several States of the Union, new in a state of partial repudiation or in. solvency, could be raised from that condition, and be enabled, by the distribution, or any other mode of disposal of these revenues, to pay their debts or theirinterest. One mode of reaching that point has dinary case, developing another scene inthe morals and manners of the prescut religious and respectable age of this lower world. It is the trial of John Jones, (not of the Madisonian,) but the button maker of Platt street, for some very improper con- due: towards a very pretty Irish girl called Catha- rine Costello. This unfortunate and erring creature seems to be a second and smaller edition of Amelia Norman— with more simplicity of character, but less nerve and endurance. Catharine told her story to the jury yesterday with simplicity and straightforward- ness. Her parents, we believe, have returned to Ireland, and the unhappy, but deluded girl, has no friends in this country. The crowds which attended the trial were ex- cessive, and to-day we presume they will be in- creased. The proceedings to-day will commence with her cross-examinatien, and afterwards the de- fence will endeavor to bring forward witnesses to impeach the unhappy young woman’s character for truth and veracity. How true is it in misguided woman’s lapse from virtue, when she gives up her honor to the seducer, she too often is ruthlessly and unjustly plundered of all that remains—of truth, of veracity, of religion, and of happiness. We trust that an honest jury and an honest pub- lic will see justice done between weak, teeble woman and her destroyers. Dis@racerut Conpuct of THs CuanEsTon Mrr- cury.—In one of the last numbers of the Charles ton Mercury we find the following outrageous statement :— the present, not because there is a want of speculators or funds, but because holders are confident of astill greater rive by the next packet, and nothing is consequently of- fered. The amount here cannot beless than 100,000 bales, and although pooansiay A prices established an advance of fof acent, there are few sales. By the way, speaking of the cotton market, let me caution your readers aguinst the reports of the state of the markets given in the Her- ald newspaper. It has recente been shown that these re- ports are manufactured specially for effect, and are some- times fabrications out of whole cloth.

According to appearances, we think, too, that the people of the United States will support this prac- tical assumption, distribution, or whatever you please to call it. The great disgraee which has been attached to this country among all the civilized nations of the world, is beginning to be felt by the people at large; and if the whole nation has the means to remove that disgrace, ei- ther by the distribution of the land revenues, or by direct assumption, we are very much disposed to think that the effort will be made by a majority of the voters next November. This much for explanation on that point. As to the remarks of the ultra partizans of Calhoun, they are worthless, and require no sort of attention. It is true, as appears by the paragraph we have quo- ted from the Fourier organ, that there seems to be a great controversy amongst these ultra, rabid, in- sane politicians, as to whether the New York He- rald is a whig or a locofoco journal. In our inde- pendent position we strictly—as on all occasions we endeavor to do—tell the whole truth, and nothing but the truth, on every event that takes place. If the truth happens to be in favor of the whigs, we tellit; if in favor of the locofocos, we tell it. And yet in spite of this uniform candor, which is now well enough known amongst cali, impartial ob- servers, those rabid politicians will this day insist that we are a whig paper—and the next that we are a locofoco paper! But neither designation | don, a sort of Anti-American literary clique who | open day, driven ont of the bazaar. applies tous. We trust we are far above the dirty, mean, contemptible, scum of politics. We tell the truth on all occasions—and when we are led astray by misrepresentation, we never hesitate a moment to correct the error when it is pointed out. We occupy a position above ull parties, all factions, all charlatans, Fourier or otherwise. We stand as far removed from them—as entirely independent of them, as truth itsel{—without reference to this or that paltry faction—this or that miserable set of partizans. With these remarks on the philosophy of the Maryland election, we now close with a bit of po- etry on the same ; and we request our readers to sing the following air to the tune of ‘ Old Hun- dred,” “ Old iinderhook,” ‘ Old Hunker,” or .ny other old thing they please ; only let them be sure they keep time, and mind their stops. Here goes. Joe Hoxie will please to lead off—long metre. THE LITTLE RED FOX. Tune—Old Dan Tucker. ‘The moon was up, and bright as day, ‘The stars they winked in their quiet way— When the Kinderhook Fox was chased by a Coon, As the west wind whistled this bran new tune— Get out of the way, you're quite too late— You little Red Fox of the Empire State. ‘The Fox had hoped that the Buckeye Boys ‘Would beat off the Coon with 4 thunderin, But his heart grew sad, and his fur flew off, ‘Aw he heard, while he hiccupped a churchyard cough, Get out of the way, &c. Over the line to old Pennsyltuck, ‘The Fox thought he'd go in search of luck ; But the cry went up, we don’t want you here,” ‘And they sung, as there dropt from his eye a tear, Get out of the way, &c. So on he went to the old North State, With the hope that “Old Rip” would avert his fate, But when he got there he lost his tail, Aad the Coon boys sung, as he ‘ cut” with a wail, Get out of the way, &c. The tailless Fox then went to Tennessee, To beg a little help from Old Hick-o-ree ; But he heard, as he went, a loud shout for Jones, ‘And the song, as he acampered to eave his bones, Get out of the way, &c.

We presume this will be the great centre of all Mr. Benton’s political movements up to the termination of the present campaign. He will endeavor to ex- cite and exasperate the western members, parti- cularly now as Mr. Pakenham has arrived at Washington and commenced the negotiations. Asa mere political weapon this is one that may cut both ways. If Benton and his democratic friends get too hot and warlike they may deprive Mr. Van Buren of an immense support in the At- lantic States, whatever the west may do. In this aspect of the case we don’t care how fierce and valiant Mr. Benton is, and indeed we are rather inclined to edge him ona bit. Let us see if we really can’t get up a war. We have been at peace for a quarter of a century, and we may therefore be very well excused for feeling rather like fight- ing; and let us have a fight—do, Mr. Benton. If this Oregon business be settled, there’s no chance of a fight, unless we fight about the Canadas. So it would be too bad to let the present opportunity slip unimproved. So then, a fight, Mr. Benton—a fight. ‘* My soul’s in arms.” Anti-American Lrrerary Crigve in Lonpon. It is now well known that there is, in Lon- prepare all those articles which are fulminated against this country through the pages of the For- cign Quarterly Review This little set of men is composed chiefly of Foster, the literary editor of the Examiner, Charles Dickens, and Macready when he is at home. The recent reviews of the American newspaper press and poetry are generally ascribed to Mr. Foster, but the materials were col- lected and prepared by Dickens and others. It is probable that, on the return of Macready to Lon- don, we shall have a similar funny review of theatricals in the United States. These literateurs are not so spiteful as they ap- pear to be on paper. They commenced this work partly as a joke—partly as a good speculation. It was supposed that these abusive articles would gain a large circulation for the Review here, and Wiley & Putman, the American publishers, with this de- sign have furnished a quantity of materials to the writers in question, so as to enable them to carry. on their attacks, We have received an amusing and graphic account of the operations, motives and private history of this little clique on the other side of the water, from a London correspondent, and we shall give it one of these days. It is rather cu- rious and interesting.

He comes about asnear to the true re- sult as the politicians do in figuring up the majori- tieson the next Presidential election. If Father Miller will only bring Congress to an end in April, instead of the world, it will offset some of the mis- chief he has done in the last year in filling our Janatic asylums.

The fast sailing ship Ann McKim, Captain Vas- mer, arrived yesterday, with advices from Hong Kong to the 10th of last November, a month later than our last accounts, The most important feature in this news is the new treaty made between the Celestials and the English, by which all foreigners are to enjoy the greatest privileges. The Chinese are making ex- traordinary advances in European civilization. Afterthis in importance is the dreadful tire in Canton, which destroyed twelve hundred houses. Trade was dull, and cotton goods on the decline. New tea was coming into market pretty fast. The Chinese waters were full of foreign ship- ping. We annex ample extracts. {From Canton Press, Oct.28,] Accounts from Chusan state that business was very dull, the Chinese declining to trade until the ports were opened. Opium was a drug in the market, and other arti- cles equally soporific.

[From the Canton Press, Oct. 28 }) Below will be found “An ubstract of the supplementary treaty between their Majesties the Queen of Great Britain and Ireland, and the core of China,” signed by H. E. Sir Henry Pottinger and Keying, near the Bogue, on the 8th ofthis month. This treat: 5 intended to conclude the diplamatic labors of the plenipotentiaries of the two na- tions, and let us hope thatit may for & ind them toge- ther in peace and friendship. ‘To judge from appearances of late, there seems to be every reason to suppose the Im. rial Government sincere in’ its wish to cultivate friend ly relations for the future, ‘and the official pride ofits head as well as officers, having been forced to admit func- es of foreign nations as equals at least, and their in- tercourse with them having become much more frequent, and in some instances even coraial, it isto be hoped that no attempt will be made by the Chinese to retrogade into xclusiveness they have so Tang succeeded ing intact, but the breaking up. of which has at tength cost them so severe alesson.

The mutual delivery of criminals of either notion provided for in this treaty is likewise a matter of importance situated as Hongkong is.

[From Canton Press, Oct. 7. Our accounts from Canton state the market there for all kinds of importa as excessively dull, owing more to none ofthe late hong merchants transacting business, and to the scarcity of outside men of sufficient respectability, than to a glut of the market, although the quantity of gooda un- sold is considerable. ‘The few sales that have been made of British and American cotton goods were at reduc prices, In exports the same mactivity did not prev most ofthe new teas having found buyers.

There seems tobe 9 scramble no’ jays as to who are first to possess them- selves of these (by Europeans) unappropriated Islands. Formerly discovery was held to be atfair title to the 1 ship of lands discovered ; by what plea the present con- querors may excuse their violence to the natives it is dift- cult to guess. We must at the same time observe that we give this intended seizure of the Sooloo Islands as a mere rumor, which may possibly not deserve any credit ; but that the French meditate some coup in the fadian Archie pelago seems probable from there having lately been sta- tionary at Manila no less than three French ships of war, whilst three others are expected. The Fiench trade with China or Manila surely does not require such abun- dant protection, (From Canton Press, Oct. 28, M. Silveirae Pinto, our late Governor, left Macao yes- terday in the Portuguese brig of war Tejo for Whampoa, whence he proceeds te Canton, being the bearer from the present Governor of Macao of proposals for the future re. lations between the Chinese and Portuguese. The pre sent Governor and a guard of honor escorted M. Pinto to the place of embarkation, and a salute was fired from the Franciscan Fort, ax also from the brig of war. The accounts we continue to receive from Hongkon, are in many respects far from satisfactory. Sickness sti prevails toa very alarming degree, particularly among the garrison, and but in too many instances terminates fa- tally. The complaints of robberies are also ugain be- coming more numerous; in fact, the present police force seems to be altogether inadequate for the protection of the inhabitants. We noticed two weeks since that a haunt of thieves, consisting of a number of matsheds, had, by order of government, been burnt down; this act, instead of driving the thieves from the island, seems to have created aconsiderable degree of exasperation, and abusive and threatening placards are frequently found pasted upon the walls. In several instances policemen have been attacked and badly wounded by the mob, when seizing offenders, and not many days since we are t sd the police were, in ‘Threats to fire the bocaar and public offices, have heen frequently made, and in one of the barracks a quantity of powder with an ig- nited slow match, which had very nearly burnt down to the powder, was detected, An officer's house was the other night attacked by five men, the inmates, twe offi- cers, fortunately became aware of their intentions from the noise they made, saliied out and pursued the thieves, four of whom made their escape. but the fifth, after a lengthened pursuit, was ran through the body and killed by one ofthe officers.

From the shipping at Whampoa the flames had been seen, and the boats of Hl. M 8 Dido, under the command of the Hon. Capt. Keppell, were, without loss of time, sent to the acene of the disaster,containing about!60 men,including 26 marines. Most of the merchant ships also sent their boats and crews the first of which from American vessels reach- ed Canton at about three o'clock in the morning.

The Chi- nese soldiery and police mustered also very strong. and summary punishment is to have been inflicted by them on a considerable number of offenders. By this va- lamity the foreign community at Canton is now reduced to between six or seven Hongs oly, which are of course altogether insufficient for their necessities. It is much to be hoped that a great portion of the ground cleared by the fire will be bought by foreign merchants, and their houses erected thereon, particularly that ze it where stood formerly the many eating houses, lending down to the rivers edge, ani which have all been destroyed.— Tho gen onsulate was burnt out, but the papers were saved. ‘rom Canton Press, Nov. 4] Since the great fire in Canton, of which we gave an no- count last week, ral smaller fires have taken place.

Plainfield Bank Currency. ‘ Trenton, N. J., Feb. 21, 1844. Knowing youto be a faithful chronicler of events and ever ready to guard the interests of the public, have concluded to apprise you of some of the do- ings of the New Jersey Legislature, which may be of some service to the public, and perhaps to the citizens of New York particularly. Isaw a letter from a highly respectable gentle- man residing in Plainfield, a Hee days since, direc- ted to a member of the Legislature, detailing a short history of the Plainfield Bank, its rise, progress, usefulness, &c., to the citizens of that place. The writer stated that the stock was nearly, if not en- tirely, owned by three persons, the principal of eam he believes to be the editor of the New York Sun. He further says, the stock was disposed of by commissioners, and was not subscribed for when the books were opened for that purpose. . He says there is no bank in the State that will re- ceive their bills on depesite, or take or receive a note fer collection that is made payable at_ their bank; and concludes by saying the bank isof little or no use to the public. : ey, There was a bill introduced in council this day for a repeal of itscharter. A word to the wise is sufficient. ‘Trenton. This is asit should be. The Plainfield Bank is the successor of the famous Jacksonville, owned by some of the same men, and used for the same purposes. It is the instrument of a set of shinplas- ter financiers, and only brings discredit on the oth- ersound banks of New Jersey. The sooner the Jersey Legislature repeals the charter, the better for the public. Mone Cvriovs Frvanctat. InvestiGations.—We refer our readers to the report of a most curious in- vestigation, which took place yesterday, before a United States Commissioner in Bankruptcy, rela- tive tosome of the financial secrets of the late broken ‘Commercial Bank.” Mr. M’Kibbin, who figures there, is one of the appraisers in the Custom House—and is now before the U. S. Senate for confirmation. Sprina in Broapway.—Yesterday was a most lovely spring day—the first of the season—and Broadway looked like the avenue of paradise, a century after the fall, filled with beautiful Eves in every variety of costume. We have seldom seen such crowds of fair promenaders—all in their gay- est and most brilliant dresses. A great many moustaches and foreigners were among the throngs. Probably satins, silks, bonnets, jewelry,&c., to the amount of half a million, were paraded between the hours of twelve and four o’clock. The noise ofthe omnibuses, the rolling of the carriages, the awful heaps of dirt, and the crowds of lovely wo- men, impudent men, and lounging loafers, formed apicture’of New York that could not be surpassed, or paralleled, on the face of this planet, or any other in our solar system. Rericiovs Movements.—Maffit is about wind- ing up his accounts in these regions—balancing his ledger—ascertaining how many fights he has had with the devil—how many brands he has plucked from the burning—and how many coppers the faith- fal have put into the treasury. Elder Knapp, how- ever, steps in and keeps up the conflict with the powers of darkness. He goes it with a vigor and vehemence beyond Maffit altogether. On Wednes- day evening he preached a very curious sermon en- titled the ‘Devil’s Rocking Chair ;” last night he lectured on the “ Root of all Evil,” and to-morrow night he preaches the ‘ Devil’s Funeral Sermon.” We shall send our reporter to hear that, and dish ap on Sunday morning. Sr. Davin’s Day.—The anniversary of the patron saint of Wales—the chosen land of old legend and romance—of rock, and hill, and gushing fountain— of dark-eyed maidens, pure and bright as one of their own mountain streams, as it dances in the morning sun—will be celebrated with great spirit. The annual Festival of the Society will be held at the Tivoli Saloon, and the scene promises to be one of great enjoyment and brilliancy. Great Cray Baui.—The Whigs of the Third Ward give a splendid Ball at Washington Hall on Monday evening next. From the arrangements made, and the high character of the committee of managers, we are assured that this will be one of the most elegant affuirs of the season, Post Orrick Reronm.—We have very little hope of any Post Office Reform during the present sex- sion of Congress. The strenuous opposition of Post Master General Wickliffefand his subordinates throughout the country,will deteat it, perhaps. The Post Office Department was never before in the hands of such a thick-headed, bull-headed, logger- headed, obstinate-hended set of fellows, as at this moment. Shall we have an opportunity of hearing the | lecture delivered by Lewis C. Levin, Weq. of Phi- ladelphia, which drew crowded houses for a num- ber of nights in that city? It is in elucidation of the dangerous tendencies of *‘ Repeal” in its mo- ral, political and’religious features. Shall we have itt? Do—let us.

The Dela ship of the line, was hourly a from Mahon, and would proceed immediately to joston. ‘Aamrican Repvst.ican Convention.—The gatesof this party, from the several wards to the oralty Convention, assembled. last evening at Military Hall, to nominate a candidate for Mayor. We sent one of our corps of reporters to give a full, graphic and impartial report of their proceedings.— He attended, and presented the following commu- nication: ‘TotheChairman of the Convention of American Repub- lican Di te nominate a Mayor in Assemblage at Military Hall :— Ra St I have attended here this evening for the purpose of taking ufull and impartial report of sour proceedings for ubligation in the New York Herald. Iam aware that it has been customary, in the conventions of political in this city, to exclude all persons from admission, exce| those who are selected as delegates ; but would it not advisable for your convention to break through such party trammels, and throw open your doors to gentleman pro- fessionally connected with the daily press, and thus Be vent the partial and oftentime erroneous publications that are made by interested delegates to advance themselves at the expense of their assoolsice, ay a “Res fully, yours, Cig a CAMP, ofthe corps of Herald Reporters. Our reporter waited a short time, when he was informed that the Convention had been only tem- porarily organized, and as there would be much preliminary business of little interest that would probably occupy the evening, the request would not be acted upon until all the preliminaries were arranged. The intention of a majority of the delegates we understand is to assemble at a large and conve- nient hall at their next meeting, and throw open their doors for the admission of the public. This is a capital idea, and will add thousands to their vote at the April election. The originality of such a measure, will present such a striking contrast to the secret midnight caucusses at Tammany Hall and Broadway House, that thousands of our citi- zens would attend as spectators and thus become interested in the success of a party that should thus cast aside all secret party management and boldly and openly discuss the merits, the capacity, the honesty and wisdom of the candidates presented before them for the chief magistracy of thisgreat city. The press would vie with each other in giving fall and correct reports of their proceedings, and thus would their views, their principles and intentions be widely disseminated throughout the community. The novelty of such a bold, open, and manly course, on their part, would satisfy all that their only object was to extend the greatest good to the greatest number, in their selection of a candidate for the high and important office of Mayor of this city. Should such a course be adopted, we have no doubt that Old Tammany and the Broadway House would follow it, and thus we should have an end to secret junketings, where many a man is politically destroyed by private slander, or forced upon his party by the frand and wire pulling of some few cunning, designing, and deceitful delegates, who have their own interest at stake, and not the public good. Give us open doors and a free and full dis- cussion of the merits of all the men presented for public office. From Vera Crvz.—The brig Petersburg, Capt. Larkin, has arrived from Vera Cruz. She brings a confirmation of the last news we received. The British steamer Forth had arrived at Vera Cruz with information that the Mexican Minister in London had entered into an arrangement with Lord Aberdeen, by which an amicable settle- ment has been made of the flag affair. On the ar- rival of Mr. Bankhead, the new British Minister to Mexico, now on his way ina frigate, the flag, or Union Jack, which caused the difficulty, 18 to be hoisted on the castle of St. Juan de Ulloa, op- posite this city, with a royal salute; the Minister will then land and proceed to Mexico. Santa Anna, who was at Mango Clavo, has approved the ar- rangement made by his Minister. The British frigate Pique, Capt. Stopford, arrived at Vera Cruz on the 20th ult., in ten days from Ja- maica. When the Pique sailed from that port, Admiral Sir Charles Adam, with the principal por- tion of the British West India fleet, was at that place, but nothing was known of their movements. ‘As affairs have resulted, it is not believed that they will visit Vera Cruz in any force. General Thompson, our Minister at Mexico, was expected at Vera Cruz on the 29th ult., on his way to the United States; he takes passage in the U. 8. ship Vincennes, Capt. Buchanan, which ship was waiting his arrival. Vera Cruz was quite healthy. Santa Anna was publicly proclaimed re-elected President of the Republic of Mexico on the 18th, onthe Plaza or public square of Vera Cruz, in the presence of the military and civic officers, and a large body of troops.
