mense extra edition will be printed, for circulation in the city, throughout the Union, and in foreign countries. -We advise all those who wish to give an extensive publicity to their advertisements, to embrace this opportunity, and by all means to send their notices into our office at an early hour in the day. Thus we go ahead. The extraordinary revival of business, which the present year has brought with it, both in this country and Europe, will have an equally great effect upon the increase of the newspaper trade and the enlargement of circulation and advertisements. We already begin to feel these effects in an eminent degree—so much so, that, if the business, growth and prosperity of New York continue for a few years as it has begun in the last two months, we shall be compelled to issue a double shect Herald almost every day, and thus equal, if not surpass, any journal in the old capitals of England or France. Things look prosperous enough for such a daily issue. We will wait awhile, and see. under the necessity of making » in consequence of the extreme pressure | cider—door latches—coon skins—and a variety of of news and the increase of advertisements, at this| other comyion and often vulgar objects familiar to busy season of the year.

And these insignia were indeed symbolic of the entire campaign. It was marked throughout by a great deal of drunken revelry—mirth, wit and humor of the lowest kind—songs alike destitute of poetry and propriety—and orations delivered by itinerant orators only fit to ‘tickle the ears of the groundlings.” From beginning to end that was a vulgar and debasing system of tactics, and partook a good deal of the vulgarities and bacchanalian revelries of the previous Hickory campaigns. But now, the whole system appears te be changed. This first demonstration in New York announces the adoption of entirely a different set of tactics ; and the probability is, that thus one and the same character will be given to the whole campaign throughout the Union. Indeed, there was a preliminary movement, consonant with this, in Maryland, at the recent election. We allude to the very admirable brochure, published by the Harpers, and written by the Hon. Mr. Kennedy, of Maryland, in which a great deal of literary taste, philosophic remark, and elevated sentiment were squeezed into the service of the whig cause. The cue was taken from that, and the new scheme of tac- tics has been now more fully evolved in this city at the recent celebration in the Tabernacle. And one very striking fact, in connexion with this alter- Advertisers, don’t forget to bring in your notices in time to-day. Nexr News rrom Evrorg.—The next news from Europe must be interesting. There are seve- ral packets now on the ocean, and an arrival with three or four days later news may bring us the _ great speech of Daniel O’Connell in his own de- fence, before the criminal court in Dublin, and per- haps the verdict of the jury in this case. What that will be, no one of course can now tell; but whatever it be, it will lead to many curious events in the course of the year. Another important part of the next news will be that respecting the excitement in the cotton mar- ket. This movement which has created so much noise throughout this country is one that interests materially the commercial classes here, and all in- telligence relative to it will be looked for with great anxiety. The chances, however, now are, according to the best informed opinion, that the ex- citement will gradually die away in England—that it never had any real basis—that it merely resulted from the exuberance of the momentin consequence of the general return of prosperity in England, and that all those who expected a great and permanent nise in cotton will be entirely disappointed. Then again, the movements in the British Par- liament will be looked for with great interest, in ed complexion of the whig movement, and which meets us at the very threshold is, that they com- mence this campaign, not from a public hall—not from the Broadway House—not from any place reeking with tobacco smoke and the fumes of brandy, but from a sort of semi-sanctuary—a half and half church—a sort of building that is one- third for God, and two-thirds for Mammon—the Rev. Mr Hale’s Broadway Tabernacle. This is certainly a very significant fact. But the most plain and intelligible indication of the mighty change which has come over the spirit of the whig campaigners, is found in the very extraordinary oration, discourse, or sermon, de- livered by Mr. Bacon. This was certainly a very curious affair. The great mass of the Clay men—more especially the elder men of the party—the last generation, as Mr. Bacon would call them—did not know well what to make of it. It is an admixture of tran- scendentalism, Carlysleism, and Fourierism, dashed with a plentiful sprinkling of what some people would call very irreverant quotations of scripture. There isa vagueness, dreaminess, in- distinctness, wandering of thought and idea through- out the whole oration, which, render its compre- hension about as easy as that of the declamation of some of the German rationalists. In the days of Addison and Steele it would have been called reference to the Irisn question and the further ef- forts of the free trade party in opposition to the present ministry. Instead of checking the progress of the corn law agitation, the declaration of Sir Robert Pee! that he would not touch the subject, will only lead to the commencement of a still warmer campaign. This agitation must go on year after year, until its authors succeed to some extent at all events. In order to give our readers as early as possible the first intelligence on all of these points by the next arrival, we have made every arrangement with our newsboat establishment, and shall proba- bly be enabled as heretofore to give the news in fustian and bombast ; and certainly nothing could be more unlike the pure, manly, forceful and ex- pressive style of the polished and effective writers of that day, than this flashy bead-roll of common- places culled from Carlyle, Emerson, and the “Dial.” The deification of Mr. Clay, and all the high sounding declamation about his embodying the virtues and character of the age, smack most unequivocally of Fourierism, and the manner in which the numerous scripture texts were used and applied, also indicated very conclusively the pro- gress which the orator has made in the new school of enlightened, untrammelled, independent philo- sophy of which Fourier, Brisbane and Greeley are advance of all our contemporaries. Anotuer Deratcation.—We understand that the Fourth-of-July Convention party, who made a great noise here two or three weeks ago, have not yet paid Mrs. Lynch, Frankfort street, for the use ot the room, gas lights, %c during the meet- ing at which they nominated their second dele- gates to the general convention on the district plan. It will be recollected that this young party, led on “to the deadly breach” by General Dufi Green, had their first large meeting in Vauxhall,where they came into the world, and theirsecond at Mrs. Lynch’s, where they almost exploded, for we have not heard of them since. They began with a de- termination to organise the ‘“ young democracy” in favor of Calhoun, or any body but Van Buren, and they came into the field as fierce asa young lion. Well, since their second meeting we have not heard of them, and we understand the whole concern has evaporated, but unfortunately, as the good Widow Lynch says, “ They used my room, my tables, my chairs, my gas—and I never got no- thing for it—they didn’t even get a drink at my bar —them couldn’t be much of dimmicrats, I should think.” Nor do we, good Widow. ‘Tue Deravcation In New Jersey.—The com- mittee of the legislature who have examined the accounts of Isaac Southard, late Treasurer of the State, report him a defaulter to the ammount of $4,907 88. A mere bagatelle! A clerk in New York can steal twice as much any morning before breakfast. Mr. Cray 1x Mositz.—The glorious and magni- ficent Harry Clay—the President that is to be—at- tended the Mobile theatre on the evening ot the 26thult. The play was the ‘Heir at Law,” with the vaudeville of the “Swiss Cottage.” Tom Pla- cide and Mr. Smith were the leading artists. Mr. Clay arrived in Mobile on the morning of the 25th, which wasthe Sabbath. He was receiv- ed very quietly, owing to the holiness of the day.— In New Orleans or Mobile they never begin to blow off the steam on the Sunday till after service then look out. Ametia Norman.—Several rumors have been in circulation for some days past, to the effect that this unfortunate being had left the house of Mrs. Child, under rather curious circumstances. From the result of enquiries made, we are now able to state that these rumorsare altogether false, and that Amelia still remains under the protection of that benevolent Jady, and that she is engaged in the study of morals, philosophy, religion and sewing. One of the papers had a paragraph stating that she ‘was seen promenading Broadway last Sunday, in company with an elderly lady. It appears that the only promenade on that occasion was walking to church, in company with her protectress, and re- turning home—a promenade that it would be weli for the authors of those false rumors to make eve- ry Sunday. We have every reason to believe that these ma- licious stories have been put in circulation by some of the associates of her seducer—a fact which af- forda additional evidence, if it had been needed, ot the heartlessness and wickedness of such wretches. Tue Wasuinaton Monument ASsocraTIoN are the chosen apostles. It would be difficult, indeed, to imagine any thing more different from the plain, matter-of-fact, practical, out-and-out political spee- ches, in which the old whigs were accustomed to set forth the merits and claims of their leader, than this grandiloquent oration by Mr.'Bacon. At all events, this is a new, and in many respects very convenient mode of cenducting the canvass for Harry of the West. Instead of entering into any examination of the soundness of his principles, or the wisdom of his policy on the great questions af- fecting the welfare and prosperity ot the country, the Clay orators will henceforth have nothing to do but cut a leaf or two from Carlysle on ‘ Hero Worship,” cull half a dozen good transcendental phrases from the “Indicator,” pick out a score or two pretty texts from Isaiah and the Songs of Solomon, and then launch out into a high-flown discourse about the “ spirit of the age’—** the long vainly- sought ideal”—“ the purpose of the time”—* the man”—* the destiny”—* the hour’—“ the incar- nation of the century”—* the embodiment of the time”’—“ the foreshadowings of the future”—* the consummation” —* the garniture of justice” —“ the panoply of faith”—‘the consecrated host”—and any quantity of bugle-blasts,” ‘ serried lines,” “war-horses,” ‘‘ trumpet-tones,” and ‘ warriors rushing to the charge.” ‘Well, we are not disposed to find fault with this way of doing the business. On the contrary, we think it a decided improvement on the old system, and every way superior to the low, vulgar, hard ci- der and coonskin tactics.

One of the witnesses proved, that shortly after he was arrested in Hudson, he pussed a bill to his lawyer, and the counsel {for ‘the prosecution insisted that the plain inference was, that it was part of the money abstracted from the letters sent by the mail, but no direct testimony on this point was given. On the part of the prisoner no witness was culled. His honor, the Mayor, summed up in an eloquent and in- — speech, commenting as he went along on the tes- mony, and contended that it was not strong enough to convict the prisoner ; he insisted that the evidence was as hreey be Smith, one of the witnesses who had testified for the prosecution, as it was against his client, He» dwelt particularly on the fact, that alter lloff’s arrest he was searched, not a dollar of the money w: upon him.

The whole busi- ness of whig campaigning, it is clear, has under- gone a complete metamorphosis. What are the causes of all this? Wesee the same men—the same machinery—the same mate- rials. Joe Hoxie, Horace Greeley, and all those men who in the former campaign took their part in the revels, and songs, and orgies of that season, are still here. But still all is changed. What, then, is the influence which has thus altered the entire character and complexion of the whig move- ment? It must be the new philosophy which has been so industriously propogated in the columns of the Tribune. This is very clear. We see the im- press of this new revelation in the orations, in the songs, in every thing. The results will be exceed- ingly interesting. The new movement may have more refinement, but less matter of fact—more philosophy, but less trath—more rhetorical flourish, but less substance than the old. However, let us watch its progress, and see how the philosophic agencies of Fourierism will ultimately affect ‘the fortunes of that sublime incarnation of the age, and consequently the most magnificent loafer in all creation—Henry Clay.

Manvuractory.—We learn that a quantity of ice, taken from a pond in Forty-Seventh street, for the use of the Deaf and Dumb Institution, was, from some pecul. ty in its appearance, examined and analyzed by Dr, Chil- ton, and found to contain arsenic in quantity utticient to cause the death of all the inmates of the institution, had it been used. The pond is near a large vinegar and chemi- cal manufactory, at which as much as sixty pounds of ar- senic is need per day, and the refuse is conveyed into the pond. Of course the water is thoroughly impregnated therewith. Some notice or warning ought certainly to have been given, that no persons might take ice or water therefrom.

Money continues very abundant; the ruling]rate of in, terest inWall street, on sight loans, is fourto five per cent. There is more idle capital, seeking investment at that low rate, than we have known for years. The movements of trade cannot absorb the floating capitals of our banks, and at present they have no method of using their resources profitably. Many of the speculative movements that re- quire large amounts of money have been closed, and no- thing seems to be doing now, of the requisite nature, to draw funds into active employment. ‘The lete advance in Harlem Railroad stocks can only be accounted for by the great improvement that has lately taken place in the posi- tion ofthe Company. The receipts of the road for Feb, ruary, this year, doubled those for the same month last— ‘Those for March, thus far, have nearly quadrupled those for the same period last year. The advance on this stock in about ten days reaches full eight percent. Thereia very little doing at present,in foreign exchange. The steamer having just left, the demand is very limited.

It ex- hibibits the cause of the present state of all the departments of trade. Itis only by the reduction of bank loans tha we are not this moment involved in the most desperate speculations, The iinmense expansion of credits in 1936, ‘and the facility with which loans and discounts could be obtained with the abundance of paper in circulation, ena- bled every individual disposed to take hold ef every specu- lation of the day, and carry it to any extent. Although there have been many indications that the present course of trade would lead to the same result as that of 1836 did,we have no fears so long as the banks and the currency are limited to the present boundaries. So longas the paper issues of the banks are founded on the existing basis, and loans and discounts on the present system of credits, there is no danger of speculation reaching 4 very great heighth, or involving any class but those who make fictitious transactions their business. Our impor- tations have certainly been very large, much larger than the present prospects of trade will warrant, but we do not believe the average will exceed that of many previous years. The arrivals have been very rapid, the packet® have all come in together, and the duties paid on their car- goes, have been larger than ever before for the same pe. riod. In consequence of the speedy communication be- tween this country and Great Britain, orders can be coun- termanded in short time, and this market kept more regularly su than during the previous seasons ot heavy imports. 80 faras our local importers can govern the supply by the demand, they will do so for their own safety. No one could anticipate importations through the season as they have commenced, The amount would ex: ceed that of 1686. The arrivals have already begun to slack up,and the receipts at the Custom House, within the past two weeks show a great decrease from those of the previous two. The supply of foreign manufactures in this market, is as yet not too large for ourwants. The demand for consumption will absorb all those at present in this country, but a few more heavy arrivals would give us acurplus. A few more large cargoes would have a very unfavorable effect on the prices of our pretent stock. The contracted state of our currency will not admit of very heavy imports on our own account. Neither will it ad mit of much speculation, in whatever amount of foreign manufactures may be sent to this country: on European account. In 1836 there was plenty of paper money to pay for the large importa, but auch is not the case now, and this cause will keep the supplies within a propor limit,— ‘The whole importation of the senson may take place in
