a New York, Monday, March 11 1844. To Conresronpents.—The verses addressed to the “ Butcher's Boy, a Judge,” are too vulgar and low for the columns of any newspaper. None but a beast could put such language on paper. B. U. is informed that it is hardly worth the while to give any attention to poor, old, worn out Noah. He is not worth the galvanic process he proposes. He is now employed as a penny-aliner on some obscure Sunday pa- per, and occasionally furnishes some sickly peany paper with twaddling paragraphs, at so much per line. A more marked monument of general imbecility never exieted. Let him expiate his sins quietly. The New Tariff On Friday last, Mr. McKay from the Committee of Ways and Means in the House ot Representa- tives, reported a new tariff bill, which, by some un- accountable negligence or something else, on the part of our reporters at Washington, was not sent us in detail in due course by the mails immediate- ly succeeding. The evil arising from this omission has, however, been obviated by the attentive cor- respondent of the ‘Baltimore American” from the columns of which paper, we have copied a synop- sis of its principal provisions. These provisions, contrasted with the existing law, in parallel co- sumns, will be found in the Money Article of to day’s paper. The introduction of this bill is the first piece of real business in legislation which has been trans- acted by Congress since the opening of the session. ‘We trust, therefore, that the members of that ho- norable body, will for one month, lay aside all their vulgarity, all their folly, all their person- ality, all their silly speechifying for Buncombe, and proceed to action at once. So far as we can see by the items betore us, this bill is framed on the same principles of compro- mise which characterized the Clay tariff of 1832, and which ought never to have been altered, as was done by the last Congress. Perhaps the plan now proposed is more favorable by 5 per cent to the manufacturing and agricultural interests, than the last instalment of that law was—but we are persuaded that these advantages to the manufac- turers will be cheerfully acquiesced in by the mer- cantile interests, if Congress proceed at once to pass the bill into a law, and to make it permanent. All parties—all interests want this “vexed ques- tion” settled—and we are satislied that a better arrangement could not be adopted than to take this new proposition and make it the law of the land. Nor is there much use for long discussions on this topic. The whole country understands it at a glance. It has been debated for the last thirty years, in every shape and form. Nothing can prevent a happy settlement now, but the tricks and schemes of “scurvy politicians.” Let the whole nation rise up as one man, and demand the passage of this bill as the best mode to end the agitation—to give repose to trade—to aid the pre- sent favorable revival of business—and forever to Separate politics from mercantile affairs. Come, let a great public meeting be called in New York —and like meetings every where throughout the land. Astounping Powitica, Movement—Orcaniza- tion or THE TyLer Party ar ast.—John Jones (not the button maker) announces to the universe, through the ‘* Madisonian,” that, at last, he has organized the ‘ Tyler democracy,” with its head, or centre in Washington, and its tail or extremities in Ohio, Pennsyivania and Virginia. A central committee has been established—an address issued privately to their friends, and the movement begun in Ohio, and protracted in Pennsylvania to hold a Convention in Baltimere on the same day (the 27th of May,) on which the Van Buren de- mocracy hold theirs, is to be carried out to the utmost limits of fact or fancy—philosophy or fun. But while John Jones (not the button maker) sings cheerily of these auspicious omens to the cause, he laments, in the agony of Jeremiah im- prisoned in the gourd, the backsiiding of the Tyler office-holders in New York—complains of their treachery—and threatens unutterable pains to the recreants in this latitude. Just so, as Peter Gilpin says. John Jones has at length discovered that the office holders of New York are deceiving and duping their chief. Just so did “John Jones, the button maker, 26 Platt street, up stairs,” discover, after he saw the jaws of the Penitentiary opening wide upon him, that he had taken bad counsel, and when it was too late tried to mend his policy, and to button up his folly. Now, in this matter connected with New York, there is not a ragged newsboy that cries, “here’s Potts— here’s Wainwright—here they be, all fora cent”— that could not have told him how the Hon. Ed- ward Curtis, the Collector, Peter William Tag- gard, Esq, the Surveyor, John Lorimer Gra ham, Esq., ex-counsel of the North American Trust Co., were duping Captain Tyler, Captain Bob—and all the administration, during the last two years. All the attempts made to organise a Tyler party here, have been upset by the policy and intrigues of these distinguished officials. They have es- tablished even Tyler papers—such as the Aurora, Union, and others—to throw dirt in Captain Ty- ler’s eyes more effectually, while, all the time, they have been hand and glove secretly with the bitterest of the Wall street papers against the self same Mr. Tyler. These are facts—but it seems that John Jones has only just now discovered how the wind blows. He will also discover that, in New York, in conse- quence of the same influences, delegates to the new ‘Tyler Baltimore Convention, on the 27th of May, cannnot be elected here, and will not be sent from New York. The effect of such a convention, with delegates from every State, might be very power- ful on the action of the first cailed convention in the same place—but the influence of Mr. Tyler’s office holders here is so potent, that none will ever be attempted or sent from New York or New England. Mark that, John Jones of the “ Madi- sonian.” Distivevisnep Visitors at rus Carrro..—We perceive from several symptoms, that Col. Webb, of New York, and General Duff Green of every where, with several other distinguished strangers, are now at Washington—and such a conjunction of the planets will, undoubtedly produce some re- markable concussion in the political world. Colonel Webb has already given evidence of his whereabouts, by a most scaithing letter from ‘Washington, in which he denounces Senator Tall- madge the chef de cuisine of the conservatives, alias the North American Trust clique, in the most vehement language, as being not a bit better than Captain Tyler—* traitor,” “ recreant,” &c. &c. Whathas Senator Tallmadge done to the gallant Colonel 7. Has he refused to leave him a legacy of $50,000 2 It must be some such abo- minable act that would cause Colonel Webb’s milk of human kindness to tura so sour in the cool days and nights of March. Or does the gallant chevalier wish to fight another duel for the benefit of his other Jeg? Do let us know. Tus Mayorauty—Mr. Coppinaton.—We have been requested to eay that Mr. Coddington is not a candidate for the office of Mayor, and whatever has been said in the papers in reference thereto, has been done without his knowledge or consent. No doubt Mr. Coddington does not desire the office, but if his political friends are under the necessity of calling him from his retirement to save their bacon, ‘we suppose he must obey. If Purdy is chosen, or any other is nominated, they cannot be elected. Artantic Sreamers.—It is stated in the New Orleans papers that the Great Western and Great Britain will make two trips to that city during the next summer—one in July and one in November. Is this so? Mustcat. Movemenrs.—Madame Damoreau and M. Artot were in New Orleans on the 2d inst, giving concerts, Consecration of three new Bishops in 8 Patrick's Cathearal, yesterday—Imposing Ceremonials—Sermon of the very Rey, Dr. Power, The Catholic religionis certainly admirably adap- ted to be all but omnipotent in its appeals to the sen- ses, the feelings, the imagination, the instinctive ve- neration,or, if you will, the superstition of the masses of mankind. Noone who stood yesterday within the walls of the magnificent Cathedral, dedicated to the illustrious st. Patrick, in this city, need have troubled himself much in hunting up, in the regions of his philosophy, the explanation of the sources of that mysterious power, which at one time had subjugated the world, held the haughtiest poteng tatesof earth in vassalage, and gave laws to power- ful empires, and which still, in our day, maintains such a magnificent front in opposition to the allied forces of Protestantism. It was, indeed, a scene alike interesting to a philosopher and a painter.— ‘The interior of the magnificent edifice itself—the noble gothic windows, through whose stained glas- ses the rays of the bright morning sun streamed with subdued lustre, casting around a dim religious light, here and there illumined bya solitary beam streaming through a crevice, with all its own daz- aling radiance, like some special messenger from Heaven—the tall columns—the lofty vaulted roof— the altar, with all its mysterious garniture of sa- cred symbols—the vast multitude, yet so hushed and awe-struck—the crowd of robed and mitred officials, arrayed in all the pomp of the “ancient church”—the clouds of incense—the loud peal of the organ—the slow, solemn chanting of the priests —all united in producing an impression which the most thoughtless and profane could not altogether resist. Certainly none of the Protestant Churches could get up anything like such a spectacle, and as for the new religion—the Fourierites, all their pha- lanxes, and “ industrial armies,” grand as they are on paper, would not, we are sure, at all approach this scene in imposing splendor. The announcement of the ceremonials attracted immense numbers of people. Very soon after the doors were opened (eight o’clock), the cathedral was densely crowded in every part—the pews—the aisles—the organ gallery—the windows—the vesti- bule—every part of the building was taken posses- sion of, and multitudes remained outside, kneeling about the entrance. There could not have been less than seven or eight thousand persons of all ages, collected on the “occasion. Admirable ar- rangements for preventing any confusion were made by the Bishop and his Chaplains, but they were in some respects unavailing, owing, in some measure, to the remissness or stupidity of some of the doorkeepers, amongst whom we do not, how- ever, include officer McGrath and his associates, who were exceedingly active and useful in pre- serving order. But the regular doorkeeper of the Cathedral allowed the passagesto the sacristy to be taken possession of by a crowd of persons who completely blocked up the way, and produced a good deal of confusion. The aisles were so dense- ly packed with human beings, that great numbers, both men and women, became completely over- powered by the heat and the pressure, and were, with the greatest difficulty, hustled along to the A—I will.

The Elect being again presented to the Consecrator, the latter stated to him the duties and powers of the Episeopacy in these few and simple but pregnant words—“lt behoves a Bishopto,judge, interpret, consecrate, ordain, baptise, and confirm” e invitation to the faithful to pray followed, and all knelt during the singing of the Litanies of the Saints; the Bishops Elect, however, being prostrate at the left of the Consecrator. ‘Towards the end of the Litanies, the Consecrator rose (all the rest still kneeling) and pronounced thrice, over the prostrate Bishops elect, the Prayer and Benediction ‘This part ot the ceremony was ly impressive. ‘The Consecrator knelt and finished the Litaniee ; then, rising, he placed the Book of the Gospel, open, shoulders of the Elect,—the bottom of the head—where it w ‘This rite is to signify Elect a sealed book, unfold its saving tral Immediately alter came the Imposition of Hand with the Prayers appointed; the Consecrator and the Av: tant Bishops laying each both his hands upon the head of the Bishops Elect, saying at the same time, “Receive thou the Holy Ghost.” The Sacred Canticle, which somewhut resembles the usual ‘ Preface” in the Mass, but is particularlyjedapted to the occasion, setting forth, among other things, the ty- pical signification of the Vesture of the ancient Jewish Priesthood, and that “the brightness of souls” rather than “the richness of garments,” should be the chief ornament of a Christian Pontifl!— commenced by tor, but interrupted by him, as, while on his knees, he be- an the hymn, Veni Creator Spiritus. At the end of the the Consecra- foot of the platform, before the altar, where they were fished up as it were by the officers, and car- ried along to the entrance to the sacristy, where they had an opportunity to breathe and recover themselves. This produced, as may be supposed, much anncyance and inter- ruption, and should be guarded against on future occasions, by preventing such crowds in the aisles. Many of the persons, also, who had taken possession of the passages leading to the sacristy, behaved in a somewhat indecorous manner, ano- ther annoyance which should also be prevented in future. However, it was matter of surprise, that notwithstaading such a vast crowd, so little occur- red to mar the good order of the solemn and inte- resting occasion. At about half past nine o’clock the procession of the Bishops and Clergy entered the church. First, then, came a great number of the inferior clergy, clothed with their ‘‘capes” and large mantles,many of them adorned in the most magnificent manner— then came the Bishops Elect, as they are called, the Rev'd Drs. Quarter, Byrne, and McCloskey— then the Bishops of Boston and Philadelphia, and after them Bishop Hughes, in full pontificals, with rocket, stole, cape, mitre, and crozier. The procession having got within the railing sur- rounding the altar, those who formed it took seats, and the services commenced. THE CONSECRATION.

The anointing is intended to be em- blematic of the interior unction of the Holy Spint. The hands of the consecrated were then anointed, first on the palms with the sign of the Cross, and then on their entire surface; also in signification of the powers conterred. ‘The Consecrator rising blessed the Crozier or Pastoral Staff, sprinkling it with holy water, saying, meanwhile, aprayer, This was meant to import that from God the strength and grace of the Pastoral office (of which the Crozier is the emblem) a ‘The Ring, after being bl placed on the pro- per finger of the right hand; and is an emblem of the in- violate fidelity which the new Bishop owes the Church. ‘The Gospel was then taken from their shoulders and | placed in their hands, and they were commanded—"Go, preach to the people committed to thy carey” after which they were received to the Kisx of peace, each of them being saluted in turn by the consecrating Bishop and assistants. The Offertory having said, the new kneeling, made each the offering to the Consec two lighted tapers, two loaves, and two small barrel: wine. This is done in imit: ancient discipline by which the faithful were to present at Mass their offerings, for the support ofthe | Clergy and for other religious purposes. | The Mass then continued as usual, except that some prayers, appropriate to the occasien, were added, and the new Bishops communicated from the hand of the Conse- | crator and out of the small Chalice. ‘The solemn Benediction followed. and the Consecrator proceeded to the Blessing of the Mitre 1 In placing it on the head of the hops he referred to its mystic signification, say’ We place, O! Lord, on the head of this Prelate and Combatant the Helmet of Protection and Salvation, so that with ornamented face and armed | head he may withthe horns of beth Testaments appear terrible to the adversaries of truth.” ‘The Gloves were then blessed and—the ring being first taken off—were put on the hands of the new bishops — The meaning of this rite wus explained by the ecompa nying payer : “Encompass, O! Lord, the hands of thi ‘Thy minister with the cleanness of the new man who de- | scended from Heaven.” ‘The ring was then put on over the glove, on the same finger as hefore,and the Consecrator taking the consecra- ted by the right hand, and the senior assistant bishop tek- ing him by the left, each of the new bishops were seated in the Episcopal Chair, the Consecrator placing the cro- zier in his left hand. . ‘Then the Consecrator turned to the altar and commen: | ced chaunting the Te Deum, and then the choir sang the | tollowing anthem : ~ Thee sovereign God! we grateful praise, And greet thee, Lord! in festive lays; Te thee, great Sire! earth’s boundless frame With echoes sounds immortal fame : Lord God of hosts, the heavenly pow’rs } 1, 1 From thee vibrate the vaulted tow’rs, 5 'Wice- Cherubs and Seraphs thron’d on high Still holy, holy, holy i Both heaven and earth aloud display Thy beauty, grandenr, majesty ; hy = fill th’ Apostles’ choir ; The Prophets in the song conspire. ‘The crimson’d band in choru: e, And vocal blood with music join ; By these inspir’d with heav’nly art, Thy church maintains a second part ; And tunes her notes, O God! for thee, Father of boundless majesty. ‘The Son, co-partner of thy seat, And th’ equal, endless Paraclete ; ‘Thon king of glory !

Dr. Power then ascended the pulpit, and delivered the SERMON. forth into the worid, and preach the Gospal unto all nations — Matt xxviti 19 and 20, ‘The traveller, my brethren, whose happiness in this life lies atthe termination of a long journey ,is filedwith delight in knowing that the road which he has to take is spacious andeaay. We are in the condition of this traveller jour. neving towards heaven, to which we are conducted by the religion of the tine God; we are filled with delight Text —Go ye no one can be clothed with the authority who has not received it from those who immediately succced- ed Christ and were appointed by him. This is @ Catholic truth and accordingly we find the primitive fathers urging a want of mission against the innovators of their day— “Who are ye?” “Whence do ye come? “You are not in the church.” “You have no authority.” And this trath hes been also defined by the Council of Trent in their 284 section, 7th canon, where they declare that true presbyters whe have been regularly it by apostolic thority; and the coun- cil hurls her anathema against all who do not answer this character. For the maintenance of unity, it is necessary that in the onder of pastors there should be a governing power, in order to direct them in the ‘discharge of ‘their duties and | keep the refractory in subjection. Accordingly, we find in the gospels that Christ chose seventy-two disciples repre senting thé order of pastors. In the apostles we discover the order of bishops, and from the apostles themselves one was chosen to preside over the rest. ‘Thou art Peter,” suid Jesus, “and on this rock 1 shall build m: church, und the gates of hell shall not prevail against it And agaiu, Feed my lambs ; feed my sheep.” Here we see the beantiful order and symmetry of the mystical spouse of Christ. We see the faithful governed by their astors; the pastors governed by their bishops; and the ishops governed by the Pope. ‘This is the bond of unity, and whoever breaks this bond neparates himself from this society, and deprives himself of all the advaut ferred on it by its divine founder. In the church o! then, every tning is united by authority; and submission to this authority 16 not blind subjection, seeing that itis just and necessary und of divine origin. And now allow ‘me to say aword of the Pope, about whom you have all heard so much now-a-da: e Catholic ‘believes that frist ; the successor of St. i church, and the e Catholic also be- lieves that the Pope has ed, inthe person of St. Peter, fall power to govern the universal church. This is the language of the Council of Florence, who awarded to him these titles of power and supremacy, and 1000 ears before that we find the fathers of the council of A. . 401, calling the Pope “father.” and themselves his “children,” and they humbly called on him to confirm by his authority their decisions. Let no man deny that the ministry of St Peter survived Peter. Its foundation was the eternal church itself, and it will last as long.— Let me now glance at some of the leading features of the church. These are— 1. Her Visibility. 2. Her Unity. 3. Her Sanctity. 4. Her Catholicity. 4. Her Apostelicity. iS The visibility of the Church of [Christ was briefly noticed, as wad also her unity. The integrity of the Church of Rome was described in contrast to the disjoint- edand schismatic character of the Protestant Churches. The Armenians—the Calvanists—the Arians—the Lu- therans—the Church of England—the Anaba| alluded to, and it was then contended that this “eternal discord” afforded evidence of the heretical character ot the separatists from the Catholic Church. ‘Then the in- fallibility of the church was asserted and defended py the usual arguments. Without this infullibility it was con. tended that every mad brain—every canting fanatic,might tuke upon himself to be as good an_ interpreter of the sacred volume as all the fathers and councils that ever existed. This, it was alleged, was monstrous, and must lead to horrible confusions and he- resy. Next,the sanctity of the church was adverted to ‘That consisted in her interoal and external holiness. The internal holiness again consisted in thenumber of saints in the hosom ofthe church, and the external holiness in her foundation, good order and ceremonies. And such was the Catholic church, Mr. P.; such was the beautiful fabric which, in the 16th century, was attacked by a Ger- man friar, in a strain of coarse invective, such as never be- fure or since astonished the world, and whose fanaticism, after destroying all that was sacred, disordered Lis own brain. When the chureh was assailed by the followers of such aman, it was time for her friends to speak out. The founders of this Reformation were Luther and Calvin, and whoever could say that they were holy, has failed to of their lives by an impartial historian. 1 read the histo: refer them to the history ofthe ‘Variations of Protestent- ism,” by the famous Mosheim Let us look a little at some of their leading lessons Does it agree with your idea of sanctity to tell man that God is the author of sin? ‘And yet this is the principle of Luther; and it is also tauglit by Calvin in the 18th chaper of the 1st book of his titutes.” Does it savor of sanctity to tell men that ist did not die for all, and that man cannot the grace of God? And yet such is the doctrine tanght by these men. Good God! could it enter into the heart of any Christian that such lessons could be taught by Christian teachers! Do you call my language too revere? Js it too severe, when in the whole Protestant literature the Catholic church is reviled and maligned / Where the Pope is habitually called the Anti-Christ !— when in every low romance the reader is sure to find a ruffian mark with a reeking dagger and a poisoned bow! —do you say that it is too severe, when you know that the traveller, and the novelist, and the historian all unite in reviling what they call the Papal supremacy, and la. boring for its downfall? When we are thus assailed, it is time fer us to speak out, and on this vant! ba aay ofthe sanctity of our church we are invulnerable by any assail- ant. The Catholicity of the church was the next err ‘The wide-spread ramifications of the church were alluded to, and the designation in the Apostles’ creed urged as proof of the exclusive claim of the Romish church to this Appellation. ‘Then came the discussion of the Apostoli- city of the church, The parable of the shepherd and the ep-foldjwas read,in order to show thatUlirist denounced, thieves and robbers, all who came into the church ex- cept through him—“the door.” It was then urged that the suce@asore of St. Peter as the Sec uf Rome alone pos- sessed the divine right of the priesthood. Butt int ‘we pass over thus hastily, as Dr. P. merely briefly the usual and well-known argument without any addition or illustration. Then turning te the newly- consecrated Bishops, Dr P_said—Suffer now the words -of exhortation from one well acquainted with your merils haa virtues. One of you I have known from his boyhood. I have seen the youthful bud of genius unfold itself, and I have seen it also in full expansion; and, | thank God, I have been spared to behold i now blessing the house of the Lord. Right Reverend Dr. McCloskey— it must be gratifying to you to know that if the choice of a coadjutor of this diocese had been given to your fel- low laborers in the vineyard,it would Sofiia have fallen upon you. With another of these prelates | have been in close connection for years, and that connection has given me the greatest pleasure. Our union has been one of confidence, of respect andof love. The first jurisdic- tion this prelate ever exercised, he received from my- self, and that he has not concealed the talent in a napkin, his great labors in the Church of St. ¥8 fully prove To the other Prelate, | had the happiness of being in’ duced many years ago, by h'm over whose tomb genius , and whose early death the American Church deeply jaments, for he, indeed, wi urning and a shining light—the Right Rev. Dr. England, late Bishop of Charleston. | am pleased to that time has con- firmed for him my sincere esteem and respect. Dr. Power then read several passages from the first and second chapter of Paul’s epistle to Titus, and concluded his discourse by pronouncing the benediction. < Tue Irish Lookina Ur.—John Allen, who has just been elected mayor of the city of Rochester by the Whigs, is a native of Ireland—whereat Thurlow Weed makes a great shout of delight. Oh! oh! oh! In the approaching election in this city, we un- derstand that the Whigs intend to play a bold game for the whole Irish vote, estimated at 12,000, more or less. It is supposed now that the Natives will only take the Protestant Locofocos, and if the Whigs can get the Irish vote from Tammany, to be given to Morris Franklin, they will elect their man. We should not be surprised to see the Whig lead- ers, Thurlow Weed and Horace Greeley, very busy with Bishop Hughes, Father Powers, Uncle Pise, and all these holy saints of the Cathedral. If the movement succeeds, the Whigs will have a curious victory. Fasuronancte Waterina Piaces.—Great prepa- rations are making at the several watering places, for the entertainment of visiters during the ensuing season, but Cape May appearsto have taken the lead. Several new and elegant hotels are to be erected, and a number of fashionable families of Philadel- phia, have given orders for the construction of cot- tages to accommodate their families. Cape May is superior, in many respects, to other fashionable resorts from its elevated location, scarcity of mus- quitoes, and absence of all low, marshy grounds, such as render Rockaway and other places un- healthy and unpleasant. It will probably be the crack watering place during the next season. Tne Boarp or ALDERMEN meet this evening to take up the subject of Police Reform and adopt the bill passed by the Board of Assistant Alder- men. This bill presented by Alderman Tillou will be called up, but its length, and the changes re- quired in the city charter, to allow its adoption, will occupy several months’ consideration. The bill from the Board of Assistants will answer all present purposes, and such alteration and amend- ment as may be required, will present themselves knowing that the religion of Jesus Christ, which we pro- ee with all the characters of trnth It haz etold by prophets— accompanied by miracles, and propagated through the whole earth, contrary to the or- dinary laws by which the human mind is governed. The: circuinstances put together, flash conviction on our min and fill us with joy Our divine Redeemer came from bosom of his Eternal Father to raise fallen mai to him the wayto heaven,and to conduct him there This the religion which we aro commanded in the text to preach unto all nations. ‘This religion embraces the dogmas we are bound to believe religion is to be proj earth, and is to last till the end of time, This is the magnificent plan of our divine Redeemer ; and in order to carry th: out—in order to secure its success—he established a fiving and a speaking, and an infallible tribunal fcom whore decision there should be no appeal. The words of the textare full of meaning. It implits the existence of a well ordered community of rulers and raled, and which in the language of Scripture is to be called one kingdom—one nation—one people—one church—in ether words the church of Jesus Christ is one as there is one God—one faith—oue baptism But if the rulers of this church were to elect themselves, or if they were to be elected by the people, it is evident that this unity could not be preserved that in this respect the church would be torn by various schisms and we should have as may conflicting societivs as there are passions governing the human heart. The authority, then, to teach, to govern divine worship, to ad- minister the sacrament, must come through those who have received it validly themselves, so that from the apos- tles to the pastors who have to struggle with antichrist, before the next session of the Legislature, when it can either be modified, or that presented by Alderman Tiliou adopted in its stead.

He was in town a day or two since, and stated that his residence on the farm was located upon a beautiful elevation of ground that overlooked the so called village of Plainfield, which we have searched for in vain on the various maps of New Jersey, and which has no official existence in the recent U. S. census of that State. This piace—this terra incognita, or the identical spot, for it is neither a place, a village, nor a town, comprises three or four houses, from one or two of which several pairs of tattered breeches can be seen protruding through the broken panes to pro- tect the inmates from the blustering winds and storms of March. This, then, is the place, the spot that requires a bank with $100,000 capital, a circulation of $100,000, and deposits of some kind to a larger amount in pounds (not sterling) to transact its vast foreign and domestic trade, the agency of which is at the office of “The Sun,” in this city. What a legitimate system of banking— and yet the agent has had the temerity to force the notes of such a bank upon the community until that community are forcing them back with rail- road speed and exhausting his coffers. We congratulate; Mr. Pattison on his retire- ment. His capacity, industry, and moral integrity have rendered him respected by all who know him in this community, and may he and his family en- jey many long and happy years in his new and pleasant residence. What a model for financiers to imitate ! Suinriasrer Suavinc.—Isaac H. Brown, of 83 Mott street, formerly superintendant of hacks and cabs, having a one dollar note of the Plainfield Bank in his possession, and desiring to obtain some change to pay the postage of a letter at the Post Office, stopped in at Jones’ Second Ward Hotel yesterday morning, and offered the bill to the bar tender, who promptly refused it in payment for re- freshments of any kind or description. Mr. Brown then stepped into the office of “The New York Sun,” which is the place of redemption of there notes, and handed the doubtful bill to Moses Y. Beach, who was behind the counter, and asked for a copy of the “ Weekly Sun.” This was furnish- ed, and the following given as change for the Plain- field note, which he pledges himself daily in his paper toredeem at half of one per cent:— Three Spanish quarters (post office and bank va One cent, (American copper coin,). .. . Weekly Sun, (usual price,).....'. Clear shaye, (according to custom,).. Mr. Brown intends to test this matter by a prose- cution for fraud, under the statute of the State go- verning this offence. Mr, Amos Leeds, the coal merchant, was about to commence a like prosecu- tion for a like offence, whereupon the Plainfield financier redeemed the whole amount offered, in proper funds, without any discount. Let every man do the same, and put an end to this system of shaving. FESSOR BRONSON’S THIRD LECTURE on Universal Philosophy is this evening, in the Taber- nacle, at 7} o'clock.

Sunday, March 10-6 P 3, The past week has on the whole been quite active. The markets generally exhibit much the same but the operations have been at better prices. Stocks have hardly been sustained. The brokers: seem to have lost their usual spirit Operators are very scarce, and the ‘Wall street speculators have the business all among themselves. The activity of trade employs all the re- sources of those who occasionally went into the street with a little capital to make a turn or two in some fancy stock. As soon as business slacks up a little, and money seeks employment in other channels, stocks will take @ fresh start and quotations again advanee. The closing prices at both boards yesterday, were below those that ruled early in the week. The new Tariff bill will be found at length in our columns, as reported on Saturday to the House, by the Chairman of the Committee of Ways and Means. Pricks or Stocks in tHE New Yore Marner. sewhe!

Farmers’ Loan and Canton Company have been operated in lately to agreat extent. The present quotations are much above those ruling during the height of the specu- lation about a month since. They were not favorite fancies then ; now they are in the hands of a few who are able to control the market and regulate prices. Long Island is sustained in a most unaccountable manner. The stock is in the hands of a few individuals, who cannot sell out except at a Joss, and are, in consequence, compelled to hold. The importations into this country since Jan. Ist, 1944, have been very heavy. The receiptsjat every Custom House in the Union show suca to be the fact. The receipts at this port have more than quadrupled, and those at Bos- ton and Philadélphia have more than doubled. The reve- nue from Customs at this port since January 1st, have been as follows : ‘Total receipts for Janu Do to for Febraazy Do from Ist to 10th March, pi $1,872 305 2,168 000 669 OVO y ‘Total receipt from Jan. Ist to March 10, 1844, $4,709,305 averaging more than two million of dollars a month since the year commenced. The imports that have produced this great revenue were principally from Grvat Britain and France, and consisted principally ofthe manufactures of these countries. ‘The average of the present tariff is a little over thirty-five per cent, which makes the amount of imports necessary to pay the above sum in duties, about thirteen million five hundred thousand dollars, ‘The imports at Boston ond Philadelphia have increased in like proportion, making the amount received in little over two months, about one-third of the total importations into the country for 1843. One of our largest packet ships will bring a cargo worth $000,000, the duties on which will amount to $150,000, The revenue from customs for the the year ending July Ist, 1844, was estimated by the Se- cretary of the Treasury to be $17,400,000, For the quar ter ending April ist, 1844, $4,600,000. ‘This estimate has been exceeded by the receipts at this port alone, and the receipts at all the ports will before the quarter ends, nearly double the estimate. This result will be very favorable for the government, and we hope it will be so for the country at large. ‘The immense im- ports under the existing high average duty, has disep’ pointed many political quacks of the age, who prophecied the cuuntry would be totally ruined by a tariff a single fraction over twenty per cent. While the internal state of the country remain unaltered, and the elements of prosperity continue as they now exist, the demand for foreign manufactures will gradually increase, and the im- portations steady and governed by the wants for con- ‘umption. Under any scale of duties our necessities must be satisfied. Our wants increase with our wealth, or necessities with our number, By a gradual advance- ment of these causes, and byja uniformity in the value of the currency, we can safely import largely, and export in the same proportion.
