NEW YORK HERALD. New York, Monday, February 26, 1844. The Next Forelgn News—Another Express. ‘The last foreign news brought by the Hibernia steamer, and sent by us all over the north and west one day in advance, was deeply interesting to this country, in every point of view, but we believe the next will be still more so. The termination of O’Connell’s trial and its results and consequences— the probable issue of the great struggle in the cot- ton market between the Liverpool speculators and the Manchester spinners—these will form the promi- nent points of the next intelligence, either by steam- er or packet ship. Well—having by our recent arrangements beat the combined newspaper press of New York five times in three weeks, in the early publication of the recent news and its transmission over the country, we have now made still more efficient arrangements to beat them in the next arrivals—both of packet ships at this port, and of the next steamer, Cale- donia, at Boston, to sail from Liverpool on the Sth of March. But before this steamer can be expected at Bos ton, we may get highly important news of O’Con- nell’s trial and the cotton markets, by the follow- ing packets, which have all sailed for this port and are now on the ocean heading towards New York :— New Yorx Packets to pring News: Packet Ship Liverpool, from Liverpool—to sail F ™ siddons a Feb, 1. - Columbus do. Feb. 16. ve Westminster. . London. Feb, 10. ” Feb. 20, bed Feb. 3. bel Feb. 16. have transmitted orders to our fleet of new schooners, to cruise hundreds of miles to sea, and to bring the news, if necessary, overland, on Long Island, by horse or railroad express, at any ex- pense, in order to enable us to publish it in the Herald ahead of any other paper, and to send it south and west in advance of our respected co- temporaries. This is a special edict to all cur commodores, captmns, mates, sailors or gallant sailor boys—so look out! So, also,with respect to the next steamer, the Ca- ledonia; we intend to beat Harnden & Co., Humbug & Co., and all the combined newspaper press of Wall street, on a bet for any reasonable amount they please to name, say $1000, provided they will give a guarantee that they will not put that sum, if they loose it, into theirnextschedule of Bankruptcy. Dare they take us up? Can they get the guaran- tee? The deep interest excited in regard to the Com- mercial Bank and the Trust Company, including other failures, does not surprize us. Our table 1s covered with communications and developments, and more is promised if this continues. We should know more about the secrets of these institutions that may be quite agreeable to publish. Some of our correspondents volunteer names, dates, with the facts. These are strong terms, but the whole truth must come out, and there is no use of min- cing matters. Our papers will be filled with expla. nations. Let every actor define his position. Mn. Epttor:— ; ‘The Commercial Bank had a capital of $300,000— is it all gone? Ifso, how ? where? who has got it? The assets amount to nothing. The debtors of the bank bought in these debts at the receivers rales, nd one of them snapped d said, not care for the bank, its creditors o1 nblic.” Is not this robbery under color of law? It strikes me it is very like it. cannot exist as acommercial people if these things are permitted. We must have explanations, Mr. Editor, and the sooner the better. By the machinations of the: called bankers, I am reduced to poverty with my fa my husband left me independent, but now | am comp to work hard for my daily bread. This is no fiction, shall have names and dates by and bye. Mr Benner There are hundreds of mechanics and artists and poor widows in New York reducad to poverty by the disemhow- eling of the Commercial Bank. It had @ capital of $500,- 000, and it is all, all gone. ‘The aseeta consists of notes of cartmen, porter’s clerks, and others, even boys under age, &c. How is allthis? The amount of the assets would not pay for a dinner of an office seeker at Washington.— ‘The uafortunate lesers are begging and praying for inves tigation. The Grand Jury should enquire,and'arefbound to do so. Let a meeting of the sufferers be called, and infor- mation obtained, who has go: the fmoney—let us know that and we say we will know. A SUFFERER Ly3 Hed you Bb. Mar. Evitor :— Can you tell me how many dollars the “bank fund” lost by the failure of the Commercial Bank? Can you tell me whether the hard-working, honest shoo-maker in Broad. way, whe had depouited his earnings for safe-keeping in the bank, ever got paid? When you have done this, | have some more questions to ask of more interest to the public. A MECHANIC. Thus far to-day. In relation to Mr. Postmaster Graham’s promised exposé,we understanu that he is in somewhat ot a dilemma as to the shape it is proper to give it. In this difficulty he called, it is said, upon Mr. Sandford for aid and counsel. ‘Oh, no!” replied Mr. Sandford; “I got none of the spoils, and I shall not have anything to do with the explanations—let every tub stand upon its own bot- tem.” Right, Mr. Sandford, right. Stick to that. The best way to get out of a dilemma is to tell the whole truth, in all its length, breadth and thickness, Japnet in Sgarcu or a Faraer—A Cotones 1n Szarcn or a Lecacy.—We perceive by the Cou rier and Enquirerthat our Colonel Webb has been wandering as far as Baltimore—making whig speeches, &c. in that latitude. We suspect, how- ever, that the gallant Colonel has gone south in search of a legacy of $50,000. For ayear past he has been trying hard to get such a Jegacy in this city from some rich man—but so far it has been no go, whereat he has lost his temper. In former ages, by authentic history, we have heard of Don Quix- otte going out in search of enchanted dumsels and suffering Knights—also, of one Japhet, who wand>r- ed over the world in search of a father; but we doubt whether the adventures of these Knights-errant ever equalled, in romance, those of Colonel Webb in search of a legacy of $50,000. Will not some generous rich man on his death bed think of the gallant Colonel in his Jast will and testament? 11 would be charity to do so. Can’t General Gaines leave hima legacy of $50,000, out of his $15,000,000? Oh! do, good General. Tue Poawrietp Bank Currency.—We again call the attention of the public to the statement of the condition of the Plainfield Bank, contained in our money arti This report is taken from a New Jersey paper, and it represents the Bank as having $120,000 in immediate liabilities, with not a dollar in specie to meet them. They have, as they say, $84,000 in specie funds—a very equivocal kind of value, as is well known. Thisis probably the rea- son that a bill has been introduced into the New Jersey Legislature to repeal the charter. The safest way, however, is to avoid such a currency. ge Lewis C. Levin, Esq., of Philadelphia —The cry is now universal, ‘‘have you heard him?—have you heard him?” And a rich intellectual treat have all had who have listened to his strains of burning eloquence. To-nighy he lectures in the Broadway Tabernacle, on which occasion he will unfold the objects of O’Contell, and show the incompatibility of Repeal with democratic principles. jCase ov Joun S. McKisein.—We have a “‘card’ from Mr. McKibbin, and also a statement signed by several boarders in his house, certifying that since he took the benefit of the bankrupt law, he has had no carriages or horses, and that the rent of his house is only $450. We have nodesire to mis- state any fact in connection with his name, and therefore cheerfully make the correction desired. Unrtep States Circurr Covrt.—This court commences its criminal term to-day before Judge Betts. The mate of the Oxford will be tried, Mathews, the pirate, will not be brought to trial this term, as it is found very inconvenient to pro- cure the attendance of witnesses from Alexandria and Newport. The calendar is a heavy one, but there are few cases of importance. Tae Asnury Case.—Application was made to his Honor the Recorder, on Saturday, to admit Ashley to bail. A deeision will, probably, be given this afternoon, Chance doubtful Important before the Commit- tee of Whig Young Menof the City of New York—Arrival and Reception of Governor Morehead of |Kentucky—His Address |to the Whig Young Men—Tremendous En- thusia.m. The announcement of the expected arrival in this city of Governor Morehead, the distinguished whig champion from Kentucky, created a great deal of sensation on Saturdayforenoon The whig committees were immediately in motion, and spe- cial messengers were despatched to all the members, summoning them to receive the distinguished stran- ger, and hear the address which it was expected he would deliver. Accordingly about 7 o'clock in the evening, ithe Broadway House, the great head quar- ters of the whig forces, was all alive and looked as cheerful and rejoicing as if some famous victory had been gained under the banner of Henry Clay. Our reporter was on the spot, and, on being inform- ed by one of the gentlemen of the committee that none but members were admitted to its meetings, he addressed the following note to Mr. Graham, who acted as chairman:— “Dean Sin: — “ Will you have the pad to inform me whether I will be permitted to be present und report Governor Morehead, if he address the meeting of the Commit- tee? “ Your obedient servant, Reporter of Herald? “D. Gramam, Jr, Esq” The reception of this note was followed by a very amusing discussion. Some of the Committee had actually the folly to oppose the admission of the reporter, but they were put down by the good sense of the majority, although they did not yield until after a division! It is perfectly as- tonishing to find these political bodies so obstinate in their opposition to the presence of the press at their meetings. How many unpleasant scenes— how much personal ill will—how much petty tyran- ny of cligques—how much waste of time, would be prevented in these Committees were reporters ad- mitted? And the benefit to the party in the addi- tional publicity given to all its movements, and to the advocacy of its principles, would be of incal- culable value. We are glad to observe, however, that in this instance, good sense and wisdom tri- umphed over folly and obstinacy. The conduct of this committee will, we trust, operate as a good example, and we cannot avoid recommending it especially to the attentive consideration of the American Republicans who appear very much dis- posed to follow the hole-and-corner system of the old parties, and who did indeed, the other day, re- fuse the admission of the press to one of their meetings. Shortly after the question respecting the admis- sion ofour reporter having been settled, the deputa- tion who had been appointed to waiton Gov. More- head and escort him tothe place of meeting, at- rived. The Governor was received with the most enthusiastic cheering which lasted several minutes. The Committee mustered so strong and was swelled with such additions from the old men’s Committee, that it was deemed expedient to adjourn to the large room, when, before order had been resumed, our reporter was addressed by several of the mem- bers, who were free in their expression of disap- probation and ridicale of those of their associates, who had endeavored to.shut the doors against the press. ‘‘ Why.this is just what we want”--“The blockheads don’t know how silly they are’—‘* We are heartily glad to see youhere.” Such were the remarks made by many of the intelligent and sensi- ble members of the Committee. Order being resumed, Davip Granam, Esq. rose and thus addressed Governor Morehead :— Sin;—The pleasing duty devolves upon me as Chair. man of the Democratic Committee of Whig Young Men of the city of New York, to present you to this body, and to tender to you, sir,on their behalf, a warm and cordial welcome to the city of New York. To you, sir, many of ‘us, most of us, are personally unknown. To us, howev- er, you are not unknown. The history of your public services—the eminent career which you have run as a public man before the people of this country, have be- come so familiar to the young whigs of the city of New York, as to be with ‘household word ” (Loud cheers.) Eminent as a statesman—distinguished in the perform. ance of the responsible duties which in various capaci- ties have devolved upon you—you have long been adenti- fied in their esteem with the advocacy and the vindication of principles dear to them as citizens—dear to them as lovers of their wah? In this respect, sir, the esteem in which you are held by the whigs of New York would not, if it were the design of any one to do 60, admit of ex- aggeration. But there are personal considerations con- nected with yourself tending to endear you still more to the whigs ot the city of New York. You are one of the re- presentatives in the highest councils of the nution of the sovereignty of glorious Kentucky. (Tremendous cheer- ing) You are, sir, an eminent and honored citizen of that State which boasts—as her peculiar citizen, (thunders of applause)—of him in whose name we are enrolled and with whose name inscribed on our banners we march to battle and to victory. (Renewed cheering) But sir, in the Senate House you have not been unworthily deemed the fitting successor of the illustrious chief to whom | have referred, in the councils of the nation. It is no small honor that you have filled the same office which he has filled, and ina manner too which brought no di ragement to the glory with which he surrounded it (Great cheering ) To these considerations I might advert more fully, but I feel that I am withholding from this assembly a higher pleasure than any Ican affordthem. But before {take my seat, I deem it proper to say to you that the Whig Young ‘Men of this city, have invited you tu be with them on this occasion,not only to receive the expres sion of their grateful admiration of your distinguished services, but also for the porpose of giving you in person the assurance that they ara armed and girded for the fight and that they are awaiting in eager impatience, the day when their efforts will be called into active exertion, and when they will show the success and triumph of the principles of our glorious cause. (Tremendous cheers ) if you will permit me, sir, on behalf of this Committee, to make the request, we will desire ot you to take their na. surance to your distingnished and patriotic associates of the Senate of the United States—we desire you to tel) them, on your return to your own Kentucky, that the whig young men of New York are prepared to enlist, they have heretofore enlisted, in behalf of the princi the Conatitution—and, above all, weask of you to accept the comm agent to communicate to our disting! cl iP the assurance that we are ready to do battle for him and his cause. (Terrific cheer- ng). We have upon former occasions arrayed ourselves in behalf of these principles Under another name, the Young Men of the city of New York marched, on a former occasion, to victory. The fruita which we had hoped would have been permanent and enduring, have heen withdrawn from us by perfidy and treachery; but notwithstanding the evils thus brought hpon our country, we, in common with the whig people of the whole nation, ready to rally nnder the immortal banner of y (fnthusiastic cheering) I desire, on be- half of this committee, that you will be the bearer of this ntelligence—I desire that you will bespeak for us a ready hearing in regard to the eflorts and exertions whichwe are prepared to make. jjventure to promise you, in the name of this committee.—the representatives of ten thousand young whigs in the city of New York—that you need tear no disappointment. The city of New York—the em. pire city of this great State—will be os surely regenera- ted—as surely be found arrayed on the side of Henry Clay and the whig cause—as that the election of November shall come about; and we will venture to promise you that this empire State ‘itself will again cast her mammoth vote for Harry of the West. (Cheering for several min- utes) I have detained you, sir, and the members of the committee, too long. Before I sit down, permit me again to say to you we tender you a heartfelt welcome to our city, and offer you our most affectionate greetings.— (Great cheering ) Govennon Morennap then rose to reply and was re- ceived with three cheers, and “ three cheers more” which were given with the greatest possible enthusiasm. ‘The Governor seemed very much exhausted, and appeared to be laboring under severe indisposition. ‘He thus spoke :— Grxrcemen—If I did not appear before you already dis. abled by severe exertion in the fielj of political conflict in aid of that cause to whieh the gentleman who addressed you has alluded, and in support of the pretensions of the distinguished individual whose name you bear—if I did not feel myself, I repeat it, already disabled by the exer- tions which [ have heen called on to render during the last {should certainly be utterly overwhelmed by ness of the reception I have met with on this occa- ientlemen, however sincere—and I haveno doubt they were sincere--have been the declarations mad your President in reference to myself personall: know very well that my reception on this occasion is in mnch greater part attributable to that great cause with which J stand connected in a very peculiar degree, and the relations | sustain to the individual to whom he has so eloquently alluded.— Ifeel myself on this occasion utterly unable to re. spond to the sentiments which have been advanced. | would do it if | could. Icome before you a wounded sol- dier. Not, I trust, disabled in the service; but absolutely incapable, from the temporary exposure to which I have been subjected, in the present state of my health, to pre- sent myself before you for any length of time. I rise, therefore, merely to return my profound and sincere ac- knowledgments, as well for the kind sentiments which have been expressed towards myself personally as for those kind and much more deserving sentiment which have been expressed in reference to that distin. guished individual to whom we all look in common as the representative of the ig Tage Gentlemen, | feel that thls an occasion which would almost justity in transcending the limits to which I determined to con- fine myself when J rose to address you. But | declore to you with all possible sincerity--with the candor of whig fellow laborer—that fam at this moment laborin, under the re of severe illness, and that it is wit! an raise my voice high enough to be heard over this assembly. Two days ago, on the invitation of our fellow citizens of Connecticut, | was found at the seat of government of that St rounded by fifteen thousand as good whige as I have seen since J left Kentucky—-(laughter and cheers—ha! hat hat ha—ha—ha! hurr urra! hurra !)—arming themselves for the contest, organising for the combat, and preparing to vindicate whig principles in that ad- vanced skirmish, which will take plece in Connecticut in the election of State officers in April next. 1 ma} for your satisfaction, that | found in that State of “ steady habits” an enthusiasm, a fervor, @ determination to suc- ceed, which have not been paraiteled in any State of this Union. (Cheere—hurra! hurra! hurra!) Connecticut ia upon her legs—(cheers—hurra! hurra! hurra!)— And one of the most flattering considerations which pre- sented themselves to me during my temporary visit there, was, that there was but one language, one name sounded, as that of the individual who was to represent the great whig party in the contest of 1844—that there was but one ‘sentiment in reference to him, and that was,that however others may havedeceived us—how- ever we have been, by a most unfort! e and mortifying ppointment,sabjected to the embarrassment of having been thrust from the administration of the government during the last three years—the one just sentiment per- vaded the whige of Connecticut, that their leader was one who never betrayed his friends. (Loud and long con- tinued cheering—hurra! hurra! hurra— yon a—a—i ') This sentiment | found to be Pl vading, all-absorbing, and it is under his banner that they are about to enlist, as e already enlisted. They are leagued with you in the same common cause—in sup- port of the same great principles of civil linerty. and of the constitution of the country as identified with the whi effort for ascendancy in the government. Gentlemen, should be happy to detain you whilst | would suggest to you a few considerations connected with those great duties which we o our country and to ourselves, devolvin, upon us at this moment with peculiar force—duties whic agit occurs to me, it is peculiarly incumbent on every whig in the United States to perform, regardless of per nul sacrifice, and regardful of his country alone— (Cheers—hurra! hurra!) It is true that we rally under the banner of a distinguished public servant, whose histery is familiar with the whole country, and whose services have identified him for thirty years with the glory of the republic. (Great cheer- ing--hurra! hurra! horra~a—a—a!) It is true, en- couraged by his example—strengthened by his devotion to the great principles of public liberty—we battle under him ; but our attachment to him is only a means by which to secure the permanence—stability — erpetuation of the Constitution, and the true and just po- Ticy of the government. . And it is praise enough for him —it is honor enough for him—it is fitting testimonial of gratitu-le, too, for services for thirty years in the cause of his country, which have made name illustrious throughout the nations of the globe ;—that he should be singled out by the universal voice of public sentiment throughout this Union as the only individual who shall represent the party in the next canvrss before that party should be called into convention to make a regular nomi- nation. (Great cheers—hurra! hurra! hurra—a. ho! ho! ho!—hurra!) It is honor enough for he: Kentucky, whose representative he has been—for us ali And now, in his name, and in the name of Kentucky, f, as her very unworthy representative, thank you—most kind ly and sincerely thank you—for the demonstrations which you have already made in support of this great cause of onrcountry, I thank you that you have arrayed your selves for this contest. 1 know, Mr. President, that this duty will benobly discharged. I am well content that the interests of the whig party shall be entrusted to the management of the ten thousand young men of the city of New York,whose representatives are before me. (Cheers ) I will place with the utmost possible satisfaction.the honor. and interest of the country, as they may be all connected with the efforts we are now making, fely in your hands. And if at any time, gentlemen, I can be of service to you if | can facilitate the efforts you are making in this cause, I shail gladly embrace any and every occasion to furnish you any aid in my power. (Cheers) With the utmost possible sutisfac'ion | shall devote myself at any time to the discharge of any duty you may assign to me in com. mon with yourselves. It is a common cause in which we are engaged—the sacred and glorious canse of our coun- try, which we all feel and know has been hazarded—ha- zarded with the policy of the government for the last twelve or sixteen years of the administration of its af- fairs. We are bound together in support of the preten sions of a glorious public servant, who, we believe, will reform the conntry from this condition. (Cheers) We have, as a guarantee of this, the fidelity of his whole life to the country which he has served—the purity of his principles—the firmness of his opinions—the identity of thexe opinions with those of usall. (Loud cheers) | conjure you that, from this time onward, you will pro- ceed in the discharge of the important duties that Jevolve upon you, and that you leave nothing undone to accomplish the great object we have in view.— { need not say that the eyes of the Whigs of this Union are anxiously turned to the State of New York, and to this empire city of the State of New York You have in your hands the power of redeeming this nation from the curses which bad government have inflicted upon it, What stimulous to fidelity and patriotic exertion can be added to that? (Cheers) By every con- sideration, then, of your love to your country—by your love of liberty—by your regard for the services,character and fame of thac illustrious man which we all claim as be- longing to us in common—I beseech, you go into this great workgwith hearts undismayed by any difficulties that may surround ) ou.

I see it in the retrospective view which I take of the efforts you have made. 1 see it in that known de. votion on yourpert to the Cel principles of the Consti- tuition and of the party.

Ample time and opportunity will be, | trust, al lowed me of presenting myrelf before you, and pouring out all the feelings I may have in reference to those great interests which we all have se much at heart. (Loud cheers.) For the present, while I have expressed my obligations to my friend. the President, alow me, in con. clusion, to tender my very profound obligations to you, 1 shall remember this reception with the utmost possible pleasure and satisfaction, no doubt long after it shall have escaped the recollection of all who hear me. he im- pression made upon me by such scenes can never be obliterated They inform me that the services I have endeavored to render my country have not been alto? gether in vain—that I have lived to some purpose—to serve my country and my friends.

I thank you, then, gentlemen—I thank fyou most cordially for your kindn A take leave of yon, for the present, with the utmost possible confidence, and with consolation unutterable attending that confidence, that the pretensions of Henry Clay are safe in your hands (The Governor then sat down amid great applanse ) The Members of the Committee were then severally introduced to the Governer, who was well-nigh shaken topieces by their enthusiastic salatations. After three cheers for Gov. Morehead, and xix for Henry Clay, the meeting dispersed. We understand that it is probable that Gov. Morehead will he called on to address a public meeting of the whig forces in this city before he leaves. Attempt or Bane, THE Prrate, TO AssassINATE wis Barwer, aNd commit Suicrpe.—On Saturday afternoon, Tucker, the colored barber of Centre street, near Franklin, proceeded to the city prison to remove the beard of Babe, the pirate, who is sentenced to be hnng on the 7th of next month. He placed his lather box in one pocket, and a razor in another, and entered the cell of Babe, as usual, to perform the necessary duty. One of the keepers closed the outer door to keep all safe, and retired to his post on the causeway, in the centre of the corridor. Nosooner had Tucker entered the cell, than Babe, who 1s a very athletic man, seized him by the throat, and, with an herculean effort, forced him against the wall, and demanded his razor, say- ing that his time had come, and he was determin- ed to cut his (Tucker’s) throat, and then conclude the tragic act by performing the same operation upon himself. Tucker refused to deliver up the instrument of death, when Babe renewed his ener- gies, and twisted the neckcloth of Tucker with one hand, while he held the two arms of his antagonist with the other. ‘Give me the razor,” says Babe, “while I end your existence and mine also !— Quick! quick! or I'll strangle you to death!” “‘Murder—murder,” shouted Tucker, at the height ofhis voice. “Silence—silence!” cried Babe. “Give me the razor, or I'll twist your neck off.” “ Hel- low—hellow!” bawled Tucker. ‘Mr. Keeper— murder—murder—help—help—I’m killed—come to my reseue—oh !—oh !—murder—murder—murd "— At this instant, Mr. Keeper Fallon, who had been on the corridor below, rushed to the cell door, and threw it open, when he found Tucker standing with his back against the wall, pale as moonlight, and shivering as though at the height of an ague fit, while Babe, who stood opposite him, was con- vulsed with laughter, and shook his sides as though they would crack atthe fright he had given barber Tucker. Keeper Fallon instantly saw that Babe had been practising a startling joke upon Tucker, and he also roared with laughter, but Tucker qmet- ly edged towards the cell door, and instantly dart- ed out, as though still fearful of the threats of Babe that had so terrified and appalled him. He refused to shave Babe, but alter considerable solicitation consented to hold the glass while the gay pirate shaved himself with the razor that Tucker had so pertinaciously refused to deliver up. A side glance from Babe, as he flourished the razor, caused a second fit of ague on'the part of Tucker, who was compelled to place his arm against the wall to keep the glass from betraying his emotion. The operation was finished and Tucker left; but he says that it will be a rarity if he ever enters his cell again, as,whenever he thinks of Babe’s determined manner and ferocious aspect, whether it was in earnest or not, he cannot avoid shuddering at his previous fright. This Babe is a strange fellow—thus to play off his jokes while stepping into eternity; but we be- lieve he will evince the same desire for practical joke until he suffers the penalty of the law for the offence of which he has been convicted Musical and Theatrical. The Italian Opera holds its course, winning nightly a triumph. I Puritani was played six nights, and Belisario four. To-night the Opera of Lucia di Lammermoor is produced for the first time. It will be the most successful one ot the season. The Park isas dark as the rats can desire—no one disturbs them in their excursions. The dust has not yet been brushed off the seats, and Shakspeare leans disconsolate in his niche, mourning the want of an energetic management. The Olympic has produced the Opera of Cinderel- la, and has emaanad: The cast is very effective —and what is better, attractive. The effort was a daring one, but Mitchell seldom attempts what he cannot accomplish. It will probably run for the remainder of the season. —__ The Chatham Theatre Circus has established itself securely, by the excellence of the perform- ances. The company possess every requisite for success, ‘To-night the graceful rider, Levi North, takes a benefit—and Hiram Franklin receives a complimentary benefit on Weduesday. Both these excellent performers leave for Europe in the Ox- ford. The managers have engaged Otto Motty, who is at present performing at the National, Bos- ton. The Bowery Amphitheatre, with the theatrical and equestrian performances united, is liberally patronized. The managers are making prepara- tions to enlarge the house, with the view of produ- cing horse pieces exclusively, after the fashion of Ducrow’s Amphitheatre The American Museum presents several strong attractions, and is as great a favorite with the voung people as in the days of (seneral Tom Thumb. ; The Hutchinsons, after a pleasant ramble on the southern borders, have returned to us, and to- night give their first concert at Niblo’s Grand Sa- loon. Wherever they appeared they found friends, and their sweet New England songs met a pleasing reception in the land of “ Dandy Jim.” Palmo’s late company of English Vocalists have been giving several highly successful concerts at Concert Hall, on the cheap shilling plan. To- night they repeat their entertainment, which will be found well worth the price of the ticket. Madame Damoreau and Artot have turned the heads of the Habanese. Such was their success, that the directors of the Havana Society have de- clared their intention of placing in their music hall a tablet commemorative of their soirees. At Montreal the Gentlemen Canadian Amateurs gave a performance at the Theatre Royal, for the benefit of the Exiled Canadian Patriote. The pieces selected were, “‘Pauvre Jaques,” and ‘Les Conspirateurs.” The Jewess, a grand five act opera by Scribe,has been produced in a most Poagalbioen: style at, the Orleans theatre. The principal parts are sustained by Mesdames Bee, Jolly and Lacourt, and Messieurs Grosseth, Bles, Lacourt, &c. The pa- pers speak of it as surpassing any thing witnessed tn New Orleans since the first establishment of the opera. Macready was playing at the St. Charles, N.O. ; the papers do not say with what success. Vandenhoff produced for the first time in that city his play of ‘* Passion,” on the occasion of his be- nefit at the American theatre. He has offered his services gratuitously in aid of the funds of the Chari Boel lackett played Sir Pertinax, in the ‘Man of the World,” at the St. Charles thea- tre, on the 15th, when his engagement terminated. Signora de Goni and Knoop appeared for the first time before a New Orleans audience, at the Wash- ington Battalion Armory, on Friday the 16th ult. Signor Casella, whose exquisite performance on the violoncello produced such a sensation here dur- ing the early part of the winter, has, it appears, taken up his residence for the present at Philadel- phia, where he intends to devote himself to teach- ing music. His sister, Signora Caroline Casella, who is reputed to be a pianist of extraordinary me- tit, accompanies him. : i The Seguin troupe were performing at Mobile. They produced on the 16th, with much success, Ro sini’s opera of ‘‘ Cinderella,” with the following cast:—Prince Felix, Mr. Shrivall; Dandini, Se- guin; Pompolini, Archer; Cinderella, Mrs. Seguin They had played the Postillion and the Somnam- bula to ‘crowded houses.” Kirby has sailed for Europe, i At Louisville (ky) the choir of the Catholic Church gave a sacred concert, on the occasion of the opening of their new and magnificent organ.

Tue Trariay Orera.—To-night Donizetti's beau- tiful and popular opera of Lawia di Lammermoor will be produced for the first time at the new ope- ra house. From the extraordinary exertions made by Mad’lle Borghese to give it full effect, we think it will be the most popular opera of the season. It is interspersed with several delightful arias and duetts. On looking over some of our old Italian files, we observe that Borghese was eminently suc- cessful in this opera, at the San Carlos theatre, Na- ples, in the early part of 1838, when she selected it on the occasion of her benefit. As Lucia is one of her principal characters, it is probable she will produce a still greater sensation, and we would re- commend an early application to the ticket office. Majocchi does not appear. Valtellina, as Lord Ashton, and Perozzi, as the Knight of Ravens- wood, will have an excellent opportunity of dis- covering their musical and acting powers. Antog- nini was to have appeared as the Knight of Ra- yenswood, but, in consequence’of his cold, he for- feits, it is said, $500. We shall miss the acting of Antognini, yet we have no doubt but Perozzi will doit justice. We have seen several rehear- sals of this beautiful opera. It ia elegantly and ef- fectively got up. It is founded on the same legend on which Sir Walter Scott has written his popular novel of Ravenswood. Lord Ashton and Sir Ed- gard Ravenswood are the only two remaining mem- bers of the ancient and powerful families of Woolf- crag and Ravenswood; and with the characteristic spirit of the feudal times, they maintain a dead- ly hatred against each other, which had de- scended to them from the founders of their families. Lord Ashton was wealthy, but Ra- venswood had inherited an impoverished es- tate. In the war between King William, of Scotland, and Mary, the foes are found ar- rayed against each other—Lord Ashton in the ranks of the King, and the Knight supporting the claims of Mary, who is victorious. To save his life and retrieve the fortune of his house, Lord Ash- ton compels his sister, Lucy of Lammermoor, who 1s deeply in love with the Knight of Ravenswood, to wed the wealthy Arthur, Lord of Bucklaw. As the reluctant Lucy is about to sign the contract, Revenswood suddenly appears in Woollcrag Castle, and a quarre! ensues, when the combatants are se- perated by Raimond, the tutor of Lay. She be: comes the wile of Lord Arthur, but. shortly after dies of a broken heart. The grief of Edgard is so great that he commits suicide by stabbing himeelf in the family vault. Sir Walter makes his hero perish in the Godwin Sands. Granp Chay Bats..—Washington Hall will pre- sent to-night a scene of guiety and splendor seldom witnessed. The gallant Whigs of the Third Ward give a grand ball in honor of their distinguished chief, the Farmer of Ashland. The arrangements are on the most liberal and extended scale. The room will be decorated with the banners with which the fight of 1844 is to be fought, and bright eyes and light hearts will be there to cheer them to victory.

Og- LUNATIC ASYLUM, BLACKWELL’ ISLAND. Mr. Editor : 1 was much pleased with the remarks of the Grand Inquest, in relation to the condition of the Lunatic Asylum on Blackwell's island, and {can say, from per- sonal knowledge, that their statement is just and true.— As thiy inatitution is one of great importance to the citi- zens of New York, I shall quote the expressed opinion of the Grand Irquest verbatim “ They would fail to do justice if they did not place on public recerd the high satisfaction they derived from @ careful examination 0} atic Asylum upon Black well’s Islana, under the care of Dr. Edmund Stewart — This gentleman has adopted and successfully pursued the modern improvements, and the more humane treatment of these most unfortunate of our race. And the Institution itself, although requiring great enlargement, was found to be most remarkable for cleanliness, neatness and order; and it is most fortunate in being entrusted to such intelli gentsuperintendency. ‘The Grand Jury would fain hope that no future eveuts_may remove Dr. Stewart from this fleld of useful and philanthropic labor.” This, we believe, is the first oficial report in regard to this establishment, and it would be well for the citizens to visit this institution, which, under [the management of Or. Edmund Stewart, is conducted on the most approved principles of modern improvement. It is a remarkable, and at the same time melancholy truth, t September, 1813, the mortality was great dented. We do’ not wish to cast any censures on tho who managed the inatitution unterior to this perio we cannot help doubting the rationality of a sy’ which should result in so many deaths. Let us for’ mo- ment look at the facts. From June 1th, 1839, the day on which the institution was opened, until’ September 20, 1842, a period of three years, three months, and twenty days, there were admit ted one thousand and thirty-three patients. Of the deaths in the said period there were two hundred and eleven From September 3, 1842, until the 22d of September, 1843, there were ninety-eightueaths. We ask what was the cause of this mortality?! No epidemic prevailed ; we therefore inquire what was the cause of this great num ber of deaths? Was the diet bad? e medical treat- ment destructive to life? Were the patients treated like beasts? We again say—what was the cause of death ma king such havoc smong the victims of lunacy? “Fiat justitia ruat calum,”—and agreeably to this classi- cal maxim we are prepared to say that it would be difficul: to obtain the services of aay medical man superior, or even equal, to those of Dr. Stewart. ‘According to our latin quotation, let justice be done if the heavens full. We invite our fellow citizens to look into this important establishment, and say that philoso phy, humanity, und science shall be sustained against ignorance, prejudice, and mendacity. MEDICUS.

The past week has presented several very important features in the movements of trade and speculation. The cotton market in particular is ma very curious and inte- resting state. The late news from Europe fhas had a very extraordinary effect cm this article, and completely upset all the calculations of speculators. Cotton is pressing forward from all the principal ports. Holders are anxious to get their stocks into the Liverpool market as soon as possible, and several packets are rapidly filling up at in- creased rates. Prices in this and the Liverpool market ~ have reached a just proportion, and cotton purchased here can be laid down in Liverpool for about two far- things Jess than the last quotations current m that port. This is a great inducement to ship as extensively as pos- sible. Until now, the difference in price has been against this market ; at present it is in favor, and the opportunity will doubtless be made available tox great extent. One cause of this is, our market is unsettled. Prices are tend- ing a little downward, and holders are more disposed to submit tothe views of purchasers than before the arrival of the Hibernia. Within the past week operations have been very heavy. The stock market has improved lately very much. The movements in cotton have given encouragement to the stock brokers, and the rates of securities have shown quite an advance on previous rates. Pricys oF Stocks tn THE New Yonex Maaxer.

The Bank of Wooster, the Lafayette Bank of Cincinnati, and the Bank of Xenia, by a bill lately passed through both houses of the Legislature, are continued in operation, under cer. tain restrictions, after the expiration of the present cha ters. The principal provisions of the bill as it passed, makes the stockholders individually liable for the circul: tion of the bank and for deposits, except where the parties shall otherwise agree; but leaves the responsibility to be enforced in the usual way against partners, instead of being enforced under the Bartley law. It prohibits stock- holders from borrowing more than half the amount of their stock paid in. It requires the bank to keep one dol. lar in coin, or eastern funds, for cvery three of circula- tion ; and in case the cein falla below that proportion, no new discount or issue isto be made until the cein is re. plenished. Andit punishes embezzlement by the officers by imprisonment in the penitentiary. ‘The Free Banking syatem proposed wil!, doubtless, lay over this session.It has not many friends or advocates in either House, The present system will be made toa swer by created restrictions and penalties.

The ob- jection raised against inserting thisjclause in the bill was, that it would deter capitalists from investing bank stock.
