NEW YORK HERALD. New York, Monday, April 1, 1844. —— The Episcopel Chureh Controversy—an " Amusing and Valuable Split. While the dull and sleepy controversy between tweedle-dum and tweedle-dee, conducted by Doctors Potts and Wainwight, is dragging its slow length along,—ereeping up Salt River, out of the sight of all tuturity, we are hippy to announce that there is & prospect of a very interesting outbreak—a second eruption of Mount Vesuvius, in the Episcopal Chureh, whieh will come off this day week in the election of Vestry-men of Trinity Church corpora. tion, It will be recollected, that during the sessions of the Episcopal Convention held in this city last sum- mer, a serious inisuaderstanding took place in that body between Bishop Onderdonk, and the Honora- ble John Duer. This controversy was apparently founded on some obsolete ideas as to the nature and extent of the Bishop's authority, and the interpre- tation of the canon prescribing the rules and order of ordination; and a great deal of vigorous sharp- shooting ensued in the shape of speeches, publica- tions, pamphlets, rejoinders, pastoral letters, and what not, which has been continued with more or less vigor up to the present moment. The contro- versy thus presents to the public estensibly the form and lineaments of a serious and solemn dispute about ecclesiastical doctrine, involving the soul’s salvation, and covering the illimitable ocean of eternity. But when examined by the carnal optics of human reason, it resolves itself into @ mere squabble as to who shall possess the power in Trinity Church Corporation, and who shall have the management—for the glory of the great head of the church and the good of souls—of a revenue of $45,000 per annum, yield- ed by thirty-five millions of real estate in this city. This is the real point at issue, and itis, we must confess, a bone very well worth fighting for—a bone for which no “ cur ecclesiastical” need be much ‘Mshamed to scramble in the face of man, if not of heaven. On the one side we have Bishop Onderdonk, and agreat portion of the clergy—who, with all spiritual simplicity, lack not wholesome discretion touching the matters of this simple world—with almost all the literary ladies and communicants ot the Episco pal Chareh, and all the young and beautiful girls within the pale of that church’s spiritual embraces. For it so happens in all religious controversies the Bishops and priests and clergy, in consequence of possessing a superior infusion of the holy spirit, always carry along with them an immense major- ity of the most beautiful and angelic portions of the believers. This affinity between saints and angels is very natural; it has subsisted in all times, from the days of the father of all the faithful and his lovely handmaid—whom, however, he afterwards very ungallantly packed off to the desert—to the present moment; and, therefore, we are rather disposed, so far as we come off the fence and take part in this controversy, to go with the Bishop and the beautiful, blooming, and angelic women, and in opposition to the honorable John Duer, and his band of pragmatical associates, with all their long Musicat Crrricism.—We call the attention of our musical and general readers to a notice in this day’s paper, published by Signor Valtellina, repelling some injurious and contemptible insinuations made against the honor of his wife in some of the ob- scure weekly papers of this city. To what paper he alludes, we are at a logs to say, as we hardly recol- lect where we noticed the: attack, but we think it was in Noah’s Sunday paper. We think we saw some allusion of the kind in the ‘* Aurora” — a morning paper. But our purpose at present is not so much in reference to this base and contemptible assault on the reputation of an honorable female, as to point the public indignation against the abo- minable conduct of several journals of this city in making their columns the vehicles of the most un- manly and malignant attacks on the personal char- acter of artists in the shape of musical critiques. ‘The gross abuse of Madame Valtellina who, accordance with well-know and general usage in the profession, has retained her maiden name of Majocchi, inherited from her father, the celebrated Majocchi. who in the trial of Queen Charlotte gave the memorable reply ‘non mi recordo” to interroga- tions which would, if answered, have involved the reputation of others—is but a sample of this prac- tice. The abuse of Mrs, Sutton isanother. Almost from the first moment of her appearance here, she was marked as the object of incessant and malig- nant slander and scurrility by a man pretending to be a gentleman, and to conduct a respectable pa- per. We allude particularly to Mr. Park Benjamin, and wish him to understand us as doingso. A more unmanly—a more unjust—a more malicious—and a more contemptible course was never puraued to- wards any one than this individual has pursued towards an unoffending and amiable lady. We trust that Signor Valtellina will do his duty in bringing some of these malignant and dastardly libellers to justice. We are happy to see that he has pu: his foot down in a right spirit. He owes it to himself—to his profession—to his amiable lady— to society—to follow up these assailants of his and his wife’s honor, by civil and criminal prosecutions. And we trust that he will do so, and that an exam- ple may be made of some of these infamous wretches who thus prostitute the press and the office of legitimate criticism to the gratification of the vilest passions. Pourica, Unter ——DIissoLvTION oF THE Unton.—The most violent journalist against the an- nexation of Texas to the Union, is Mr. Charles King of the New York American. Hear him :— Without Texas, Slavery must die out within a short pe- riod in the United States. With Texas it cannot be per- petuated long—but yet long enough to gratify the present generation, and induce them to move Heaven and earth— no not heaven, for heaven must frown upen such an at- tempt—but Earth and Hell to accomplish the annexation. _ The Free States—we warn them—must not be lulled into inaction by the panse as to the treaty : though that course may be abandoned, the annexation, by act of Con- gress, will be attempted and unless overwhelmed by such expression of popular indignation as shall prove irre: ble, it will sycceed. We say this advisedly—upon infor- mation not to be disregarded—and with a full, deliberate and unshaken conviction th come in what shape it may, 1S, and SHO! THE DISSOLU- TION OF THE UNION —New York American. Suppose Congress should do the deed—annex Texas to the Union—enlarge the markets of the Lowell and Boston manufacturers—shut out Eng- lish power and influence—suppose all this should siginaroles about this principle and that principle— this right aad that right—and this canon and that vanon, x On the other side, the heretics of the Episcopal chore}: neretics fohu Duer and his associates mosi assuredly are, when they diasent from the uthonty of the Bishop—came forward like Martin o retorm the Pope of Rome and rt tie house of God from all the abomina- tions of false teachers and unscriptural doctrines. Now Mr. Duer’s first appearance in the character of » reformer is certainly calculated to excite great interest, und there is every reason to believe that he will conduct the controversy with great spirit, although not with ultimate success, because the ladies are against him. Yet Mr. John Duer has in his favor vust experience in the art of purification, whether it be applied to Trust Companies or Charehes, tne temple of Mammon or the temple of the living God. We all know the remarkable history of the American Trust and Banking Com- pavy, which, during the course of three or four years under his management, became so sublimated under his unrivalled process of purification, that it has certainly disappeared from this world, and is now, we believe, in the next world—thai is, the Court of Chancery—which is, we should think, far enough into the bowels of eternity. It will, there- fore, be perceived that Mr. John Duer,as a reformer and purifier, is net a novice—that Mr. John Duer is not a beginner—that Mr John Duer is not a neophite—but that Mr. John Duer is a veteran, a master, an old hand, a tried hand, asucceseful hand at the business of purification, and we expect to see at the approaching election for vestry-men for Trinity Church, one of the best contested fights that has ever been witnessed. including even the charter election, or the fall election. We publish to-day for the edification of the godly, the instruction of the profane and the infor- mation of all, the Bulletin of Mr. John Duer and his associates on this great Lutheran movement for the purification of the Episcopal church; and also the reply of the Bishop’s party, who strictly denies that the church needs any purification—and who has in his ranks, beauty, brightness and loveli- ness enough to purify, illuminate and adorn all the churches in Christendom, and the Fourierites into the bargain. in the meantime we close this homily, by re- commending to both parties to sing the following spiritual song, short metre—it may do some good even to saints and reformers:— RELIGION—WHAT IS IT? BY BISHOP HEBER, Ia it to go to church to-da: To look devout and seem to pray, And ere to-morrow’s sun goes down Be dealing slander through the town ? Does every sanctimonious face Denote the certain reign of grace ? Does not a phiz that scowls at sin Oft veil hypocrisy within ? Is it to make our daily walk, And of our own good deeds to talk, Yet often practice secret crime, And thus mis-spend our precious time ? Is it for sect and creed to fight, To call our zeal the rule of right, When what we wish is, at the he To see our church excel the reat ? Is it to wear the Christian dress, And love to all mankind profess, ‘To treat with acorn the humble poor, And bar against them every doer ? Ob, no! religion means not this : Its fruit more sweet and fairer is— Ita precept this : to others do ‘As you would have them do to you. It grieves to hear an ill report, ‘And scorns with human woes to sport— Of others’ deeds it speaks no ill, But tells of good or else keeps still. ‘And does religion this impart:? ‘Then mey its influence fill my heart ; Oh! haste the blissful joyful da: When all the earth may own ather himself, to way. Derences or tue Crry.—What is the present condition of this city and its harbor in case of any difficulties growing out of our present menacing foreign relations? 1s it not worth thinking about? Who can tell the issue at any moment of the pre- gent questions of ‘Texas and Oregon, now proda- ing ench keen excitement, and in which the British, or the Mexican governments may very unexpeciediy ‘ake a hostile movement ? What preparation is there for any hostile approach? What is there to prevent the invasion of a fleet of steamboats or ships of war’ Is it not time for the corporation to think of these matters? We can expect nothing from Congress. At this momen’ that body are endeavoring in the face of the most threatening appearances to curtail the ap- Propriations for the navy and army ! _Nagws rrom Canton.—On Saturday we exclu- sively published the arrival of the Childe Harold, from Canton, We daily publish important arrivals twenty-four hours a-head of every other paper. be done, how would Mr. Charles King set abou! the *‘‘dissolution?? He publishes a miserable, empty, ricketty paper of about 500 circulation; ta- ken principally by a few brokers, some bankrupts, a dozen or two Episcopalians, including the King, Duer, and a few other families. The whole clique could hardly raise a ripple on the surface of society —they are as a drop in the great ocean of New York. They are a species of lazzarone living on banks, insurance companies, fancy stocks, foreign brokers, and the Episcopal Church. Yet these are the men who talk of dissolving the great and glo- rious Union as easily as they would talk of dissolv- ing a lump of sugar in aglass of negus, or rather a bank after al! its funds had disappeared. Fudge ! Mr. Wenster 1n THE East.—Since Mr. Web ster has returned te Boston, he has raised up a per- tect hurricane in the newspaper press all over New “ngland, against the annexation of Texas. It is evident that Mr. Webster is now the head and tront ot the opposition to Captain Tyler, particular- ly since the appointment of Mr. Calhoun. It the captain has any spirit, he should remove all Web- ster’s friends at once from office. Let Curtis walk the plank first. Nothing like playing a trump card. As to Texas, we expect to see the manufacturing and mercantile interests of New England show the world that they know on which side their bread is buttered. The old federalists raised a like shout against the acquisition of Louisiana—an annexation which has been more valuable to Boston com- merce and manufactures than all the tariffs in the world. Texas is only a second Louisiana on a larger scale. Jupretau anp CriminaL Law Rerorm.—We in- sert in this day’s paper a very well written and im- portant communication, addressed to the legislature at Albany, developing the awful condition into which the administration of justice has fallen in this city, and pointing out briefly the best way in which to apply the remedy. It is almost idle to talk any more about reform of the government of this city, either in its municipal, judicial, or finan- cial affairs. For years the independent press has called upon the people of this city to come torth at elections, and elect men who would give us reform. But hitherto no attention has been paid to these calls, On the contrary, the calls made by the cor- rupt party factions, who have disgraced the city and the country, have met a vigorous response, and thus every effort for reform has been effectu- ally defeated. ‘There is, indeed, hardly the semblance of a hope left of any reform—of any good government—of any justice—of any clean streets—of any new police —of any judicial reform. If the people, indeed, come out with a powerful support of the new re- form party, there is some hope. But if the citizens be blinded, and gulled, and duped, and deceived by the party appeals of the old rotten factions—we may consider all hope of reform postponed indefi- nitely. We have no chances left except in the success of the new party, generated and produced by disgust of the corruptions of the old factions. Viotation or THE Laws.—We perceive that James W. Hale who hails from the Courier office in Wall street, and Lysander Spooner, wlio spoons somewhere in the neighborhood of the Journal of Commerce office, in the same street, have both been arrested for repeated violations of the post office laws, and the probability is that the prosecution will be conducted to judgment. It is needless for us to say at what an exceeding- ly low value we estimate the abilities, liberality, or management of the present thick-headed post master general. We have borne testimony to his hardness of head in a variety of ways, but yet we cannot allow an occasion to pass, without sanc- tioning and supporting as far as we can the conduct which he has pursued towards these notorious vio- lators of the laws. 1f we have post office laws, is Ivrgresting From THE Care oF Goon. We have received the Mercantile Gazette, pub- lished at Cape Town, to the 26th or January, which we believe is later than before received. We give extracts showing the state of things in that extremity of the world, the prog: s of eivil- zation, &c, They are worth something:— From Cape Town Gazette, January 26.) The a in Table Bay during the gtk week have been numerous, amongst which we call the attention of our readers to thatjof Her Majeaty’s steamer Thunderbolt, ‘Commander Broke, from the West Coast, last 4 having on board upwards of 300 negroes, part of 1,200, taken Irom three vessels captured by her. ‘The following is a copy of the report and other particulars which has been kindly handed to us for insertion:— Observed no- thing until our arrival in Little Fish Bay, where we saw some vessels at unchor; sent on officer to board one, which proved to be the Benguela packet, bound to L&s- bon; 2d January, 10. 20. p.m, observed a sailon Port Beam; went on in chuge; sent a boat to board; had, 600 slaves on board; observed another vessel, went in chase, sent a boat to board her, and found she had 327 slaves. 3d January, 12.30. am., wenton in chase of a schooner; lost sight oi her; 5 20. observed her again; went on chase, sent to board her, and found her tocontain 246 saves.” Imme- diately on the arrival of the Thunderbolt in Table Bay, on the 20th inst., the Collector of H. M. Customs, landed trom her on the beach, at the negro buildings, 29'men, 69 women, 120 boys, 87 girls, and 16 infants, ‘Total, 311 ne- groes- ny of whom were in avery sickly and debi- litated state. j ‘We have also to notice the arrival in Table Bay of the Murgaret, Capt. Drake, from Port Natal, particulars ot her cargo will appear in their usual place. ‘She left that port on the I6th inst., and the:following is the substance of the intelligence received by her :— “ By a private letter from Pietermauritzburg, of Jan. Lith, it appears that trade continued very dull; that very few wagons attended the market ; this was attributed to the unsettled statejof things there, especially wita regard it not astonishing to see journals claiming to be re- spectable, actually endeavoring to procure their violation? Yet this is the course pursued by the Journal of Commerce ; and the Courier and En- quirer, eternally prating about its decency, respec- tability, morality and religion, with that $52,000 in its stomach, winks at the same thing in the case of Hale. If laws be bad, let legal means be adopt- ed to obtain their repeal or modification. But so long as the law exists, all good citizens will sup- port their guardians in the prosecution and punish- iment of their reckless and impudent violators.

She gave a favorable report of the state of Mr, Jearey # fisheries at the Ciozets, A full cargo of sea elephant oll was waiting the arrival of the Ghiha, daily expected there. Navigation Notice.—A draft of an ordinance was laid by his Excellency the Governor befure the Legislative Council, on the 27th December last, having for its object the abolition of the port di anchorage dues, light house or any other description of port charge: whatever (at present levied,) on all vessels, whether Bri- tish or foreign, arriving in auy of the ports of the Colony of the Cape of Good Hope. So soon as this ordinance shall take effect, we will give due notice of the same. In addition to the announcement we have given above ot the proposed abolition of port dues, we are happy to be able to communicate to our commercial friends that an order of the Queen in Council has been passed, for removing the prohibitions which have existed since 1932, in respect of the importations of foreign oil, beef, pork and fish, vehich willbe now admissible at the undermentioned moderate scale of duties, v1 Meat, salted or cured, ef all sorts, not being the production or manufacture of the United Kingdom, or of any British possession, the cwt 3s.; meat, salted or cured, of all sorts. being the production or nu ufacture of the United Kingdom, or of any British pos: session, the cwt.

It is impossible to over- rate the favorable esults which may be anticipated by the operation of the two measures we advert to, they will induce a great resort of foreign shipping, partioulst- ly American whalers, to our bays, ond a wholevomecheck will be placed upon the prices of provisions for shipping at our ports, by the admission of foreign provisions at the moderate duties stated. [From Cape Town Gazette, Jan, 12.) Our bay ho» been visited during the past week by an unusually large number of vessels which have imported goods from England, India, and the United States ot Amv- rica, particulars of which appear in their proper place in our columns. The important intelligence which reached us by the “Robarta,” of the order of the Queen in council, for removing the prohibitions which have existed at onr porta respecting foreign oil, provisions, and fish, couple: with the intended abolition of our port dues, has bee hailed ux the harbinger of a state of great progrey South Africa. Mass Meretine or THE Nativ tives” hold a great mass meeting in the Tenth Ward to-night. The chief object in view, 1s to smoke out “ old Ironsides,” alias Alderman Purdy. Thisis certainly a most benevolent object. For- merly, * old Ironsides” was a very capital fellow, but he has, latterly, got so mixed up with the cor- ruptions and abuses of locofoco mis-government, that it will require a tremendous quantity of smok- ing to make him pass muster now. If the “natives,” however, do the business effectually, he may come out pure and sweet, and run for Congress-man next fall But he’s not fitfor any thing till he be wellsmoked. Arrival. oF THE Yorksuire.—This new packet ship, under the command of Captain Bailey, arri- ved last night in the remarkably short passage of twenty-seven days from Liverpool. She sailed thence on the 4thult., the day before the Caledo- nia, the {last steamer, arrived; and this quick pas- sage has been performed with a nineteen feet draft of water. This is speed, and Captain Bailey thus sustains the reputation he had previously gained. —The ‘“Na- Among the passengers on board this swift sailer | are a giant, standing nearly eight feet in his boots; agiantess, standing about seven feet inher slip- pers, and a dwarf standing twenty-three inches in high-heeled boots, being three inches shorter than | the famous Tom Thumb. The giant and giantess are man and wife, and will present a tall appear- ance in walking up Broadway some fine morning. Altogether this trip of the Yorkshire has been an extraordinary one. She isa famous ship, with a famous captain, makes famous passages; carries a famous cargo, for which see manifest; ands filled with famous passengers. After this, we may ex. pect news from Europe. There is another fast sailer, the Queen of the West, Captain Wood- house, on the ocean, with two or three days later advices—we shall now look for. She will be here sometime this wee Iranian Opera—Anotuer Frane-ur.—The first season of ‘he Italian Opera at Palmo’s Theatre, closed on Saturday night in the midst of hail, rain, snow, thunder and lightning without—and har- mony, melody, beauty and elegance within. The late season was very prosperous and profit- | able—but unfortunately the profits have been un- equally divided. The principal vocalists have cleared, after paying all expenses, about $7,500-— more by one half than such a troupe could do in any city in Europe—but poor Palmo, the proprie- tor, has lost $1,500, which had to be made up out of the receipts of his saloon and baths. The aggre- gate receipts of the season were about $14,000—a very tangible proof of the disposition of our fash- ionable people to support the opera. Thus ends the late season—what are the pros- pects of the coming? Very bad. We learn tha the new engagement, which we announced last week, for the next season, is already broken up.— The beautiful Borghese, or rather her good papa, has refused to sing for less than $110 per night— Palmo has offered $80. In consequence thereof, the prima donna intends to go to Philadelphia and sing Concerts. Whuat’s to be done? What ought to bedone Beautiful, enchanting prima donna, how is it possible you can do so? Oxp Duury begins to revive somewhat as the spring approaches with its buds and blossoms, and warm sunshine. Mr. Wallack and Mrs. Brougham have been engaged, and appear to-night.

We resume our notices of the paintings in this magnificent collection. u bag or Baccnus.—Partno Txsts.—This is a ce er Titan, and avery great picture. jusite be ring of the original is aA rtsined, with, we think, in some of the ‘amore correct appreciation of form. The most beautitul points in the res are well brought out, and they all have an air of muuch grace and ease. 22. Kia Men witn an Are anp Cota ae very characteristic point by one ot the very 5 rose of fruit and still ite. peavens pean, entrusted to this master the painting of the ani pictures, although he himself executed these subjects in so admirable a manner. Such was the excellence of co- loring and the spirited touch of Sneyder’s pencil that the pictures thus produced appeared to be the work of asin: glehand. It is not at all amprobable that the figures of the men inthis picture were done by Rubens or Jordaens,who often decorated Snyder's pictures in this manner. ‘This is a very pleasing picture, and is a most profitable study to the artist and amateur. 15, Cunist ap THE ADULTRE! Gurneino.—This is a favorable specimen of the subd style of this master, after having Brenan the manner which characterizes his first works, which were exag erations of the daring con- trast of light and shadow which marked the paintings of Michael Angelo. ‘There is great neatness in the colo: | of ls the expression in the head of the female is fine and truthful, and the light is managed so as to produce | great reliefs without harsh contrast. | bo. Sr. Francis Knge.inc—AnsimatyjCanacct.—This | is one of the best pictures in the collection, and once oc- | cupied a place in the royal gallery of Madrid. It exbibits | many ot the characteristics of its great author. ‘The ex. | quisite outlines of the figure—the majestic foldings of the | drapery—and the unapproachable foreshortening, are all | displayed with great power. ‘This is one of the subjects in which Caracci’s genins has fully developed itself.

Butfin depicting the simple but sublime emotions of the suppliant Saint, he ful ly comprehends his task, and he has executed it as none | but himselt could execute it. Let the artist and amateur carefully study this picture. It will, indeed, repay them. 92. Narivity—Cornecio—Here is indeed a gem of rar- est value. Every detail is marked by the infallible charac- teristics of this exalted genius, Here is indeed the magic of the chiaro-scuro. ‘The forms of the Virgin and of the angele Host are exquisitely soft and beautiful—the purity and «lelicacy of the coloring are inimitable—and the gene- ral etlect of the picture is incxpressibly beautiful. You cannot help gaz! ng on this picture for an hour. 33 Portaait or Pomreo Batroni—By Hintsene.—A very charming picture. ‘The coloring is in that exceedingly pleasing style which made the portraits of this master so popular, ‘The attitude is strikingly easy and graceful, and the turn of the Lead must strike every one as being natural and agreeable to a degree very rarely met with. Indeed, this is one of the most attractive pictures in the collection. Battoni was chiefly fumed for his portraits, but he painted some historical pictures which give him claims to considerable rank in the art. One of his bess pictures was “ Christ giving the keys to St Peter,” which Senate a place in the pavillion at Monte Cavallo. Bat- toni lived in the Key part of the eighteenth century, @ period when the arts had fallen to a low ebb in Italy. 35. Pontaait of Canvina Bouvisi—By Paoio Venonese —A fine picture, in the pure and chaste style of coloring which characterizes all the works of this great master. ‘The Cardinal was the founder of the gallery from which most of the pictures were tuken He was @ magnificent patron of the arts, and also shared largely in the political events ofhis day. He was the Pope’s nuncio at Viennain 1087 37. Lanpscare—Pousaix. ~A most profitable subject of attentive study. The coloring is exceedingly mellow and agreeable, and every part of the picture is finished in the most masterly manner ‘This appears to be a picture from nature, and hears undoubted marks of the genius of the greatest landscape painter of his day. ; 38 Exromement or Cunist.—An excellent picture. The coloring is somewhat cold, but the conception is grand and the general design striking, impressive, and well sustained. This master was the most distinguishes upil ef the school of the illustrious Raffaele. He was Jone in 1492, and died at the age of 54, leaving behin:: him many works of transcendent merit. 46, Tue Two Maxys.—Cunistorne Avtont.—This is v interesting picture by ove of the most celebrated por- trait painters of his time, "The harmonious tinting of thi picture will be noticed, and the drawing of the figures is natural and easy 47. A Miniature after the Ariadne. A copy after Van- delyn by Mr, Charles Fraser, ‘The coloring is harmoni ons and pleasing, but the left arm seems somewhat defec- tive in drawing 49. Huntixe —Another exquisite picture by Sneyders his is really adelightful work. Nothing can surpasr the accuracy of the drawing of the varieus animals, and the life, spirit, and characteristic expression of each are sriven with surpassing skill. The eagerness of the two dogs pursuing poor puss; her almost sinking resolution - ihe exulting cruelty of the hound in the foreground which has seized his prey, are depicted with the greatest truth This picture alone is worth half a dozen visits to the gal- lery. We shall resume our notices to-morrow. In the mean- time we may re ark that the controversy about these pic- tures hus attracted great crowds to the galle: We no- ticed several very beautiful ladies there the other day.

Lower Police OUffice=March 31.—A Farmen Ronnep or $1700.—Yesterday forenoon, a farmer named Stephen Champlin, of Exeter, Washington county, R. 1., arrived in this city with $1700 in his pocket, the proceeds of his farm sold, which he intended to invest in lands at Athens in Ohio ; but all his plans became futile before evening, for he was robbed bout dusk in West street of all his money, by two young men, who appeared to him to be intoxicated, and to whom he lent friendly aid. Like most countrymen who visit our city, he had indulged himself too freely,, and the milk of human kindness get- ting the better of sound discretion, although the persons were utter strangers to him, he proffered his aid to see them kome. He had previously met them in a public house, and they wished him to engage in what is called the thimble game, but he refused, and subsequently met them inthe street. Therecan be no doubt but that they dogged him, and one of them stole his money. A man named Henry Ainsley, alias Butcher Bill, has been ar- rested as a party concerned, but it is doubtful if any thing \ tangible can be brought to bear against him He is one of the Apoviags f called “runners,” and of extremely doubtful cast. Inthe meantime, poor Champlin is minus his money, and is in a perfect state of distraction, having lost all he was poss off in this world save a wife and several children, which he left behind him in Rhode | Island. Ainsley’ is temporarily committed.

Y THE Presipent —James C. the 27h More or tHe Revoivrion in Haytr.—Advices have been received at the Boston Exchange News Rooms, by brig Eagle, from Cape Haytien to the lith of March, that the urbances in the Island had assumed a serious aspect. The whole of the national army and all the national guard (militia) were under orders to march aguinst the insurgents. ‘he President was collecting all the effective force in that part of the island, and it was thought there would be some fighting—but that the revo- Pe, would probably be suppressed without much ditfi- culty. ¥y "rhe ost unexampled ‘Tue CnaTuam THEATRE.— most unexamp! success attended the 1e- of this catablish. ment last Monday, the house g crowded throughout by a full and fashionable audience, drawn together by the announcement of one of the strongest companies in the city. The bill was an excellent one—the pieces, La Tour de Ne ‘A Match in the Dark, and the Sergeant's Wife Mr. E. 8. Conner played the part of Beridan(his first oP pearance in this city fora number of years), in a most able and effective manner. We do not know of actor. Miss Reynold’s personation, in the seccnd piece, of Ellen Marsden, is too well known to need an encomium from us. In the afterpiece, Mr. Winans, a Philadelphia actor, performed the of Robin capitally; he is already an established favorite, Mrs. Emily Wood is a pleasing little actress, of great beauty, and bids fair to become a charming vocalist. “Richelieu,” ‘The Robber,” “The Lady of Lyons,” and other capital pieces, have held pos- ion of the boards during the week. We are soon to have a new drama by young Greeley, called “ Marma- duke Wyvil” When we contrast the Chatham Theatre with the other establishments, we cannot but acknow- ledge that, in point of enterprise, novelty, talent, and me- , it far exceeds ite rivals. It has, in fact, become the favorite theatre of New York, and we confidently recom- mend it to the especial patronage of our numerous read- ers, satisfied that it presents attractions not to be surpassed by any other establishment. Cicvs.—The Amphitheatre in the Rewer is taking the wind out of all other places of public amusement. There is a great reaction in public taste, particularly in reference to equestrian entertainments. It ‘was not many years considered degrading to be seen in acircus, but since the introduction of the splendid per- formances now given by the troupe at the Bowery Amphi- theatre, it is no uncommon circumstance tu find the drees circle filled with our most belt a citizens, as well as strangers from all parts of the Union.

The stud of horses now at the ray Payee comprises most og She finest trained horses in the country. Gossin is the clown.

We advise the lovers of novelty not to neglect this rare opportunity, but go and see for themselves. _ Ivramous Coxpucr of a Coxsut.—In the trial inthe District Court, of the fourteenseamen of the whale ship Hibernia, for a pretended revolt in the Isle of France in refusing to go to sea without a survey, it came out in evidence that ten of the seamen went to the office ofa Mr. Griffith, a Welshman, who is acting Consul there, and respectfully ‘asked him to hear their represen- tations and order a muryey, and that Griffith called them a set of American cowards and drove them away. The Captain testified that he had said nothing to Griffith to in- ticle when know its fofore been sold too high to reach all classes, hes now been reduced fourfold in , with a view that rich and poor, high and low, and, in fact, every human being, may ‘enjoy its comforts—and all who get it shall have the price returned to them if they are not delighted with its use.— We assert, without the possbility of {contradiction, that all Burns or Scalds, every external Sore, old or fresh, and all external pains and aches, no matter where, shall be re- duced to comfort by it in five minutes—saving life, limb, or scar, No burn can be fatal if this is applied, unless the vitals are pate by the accident. ‘nis article will cure any of the following complaints, or all pay is refused for it, viz :— Burns, Scalds Chilblains, —_Erysipelas, Sore Nipples and Eyes, Piles, | Salt Rheum, Barbers’ Itch, Fever Sores, Ulcers,Sorer,&c.

Dalley, the public will see, must be an egregious asa to endorse notices, lauding the vender of a vile imitution duce this, though the rest of the testimony implied aco operation between the Consul and Captain in refusing the seamen their just rights In his charge to the jury, Judge Sprague commented with very proper severity upon this very extraordipary conduct of a public functionury, and his abusive language toward American seamen. In this respect, and in applying the law to this case, (which was Canon theoleateer: ‘justification on the part of the seamen) the learned judge did himself and the law honor in #us- tainin the just rights of seamen against oppression.

Tux Late Murpgr.—The body of the man found murdered in Prytania street, on ‘thursday night, has been recognised as that of Auguste Moulin the captain of atrading schooner (the Aglaize), now lying icroea the river, by a relative who read the description of him in our yesterday’s paper. ‘The Police have since been’ yn the alert, and from certain information received by Capt. Winter, he has arrested anegro man named Alfred, longing to Dr Edwards, and who was living with Mr Troudro who resides in the immediate vicinity of the spot where the man was found, on suspicion of having com mitted the murder, The circumstances connected wt) his ffair so far ax they have come to our knowledge are of a very strange character, but we abstain until the mar- er is inivestigated from saying more than that they lea! ‘oa strong impression of the prisoners guilt. ‘The negro willbe brought before Recorder Baldwin this morning — N.

It was alleged that these and other goods toa large amount were recently purchased—subsequently to which the accused went into Chancery.

Firt anp Loss or Lire.—The house of P. W Eastman, at Newcastle, C. W., was destroyed by fireon the 11th inst., and three of his children, of the ages of five, seven, and nine years, burned to death, The fice burned with such rapidity, that Mr. and Mrs, E. turn. ed thelr attention to their children, five in number, of which three were up stairs in bed and two below. Mr. E. took the two below, and Mrs E. immediately ran up stairs for the others, but the room in which they were was so completely enveloped in flames, that she could not make her way to the bed, but stood at the door as long as she could, calling on her children to come to her for help, but to no effect. She had to retreat, leaving the poor little helpless creatures to the devouring element. She was very badly burned herself, so much so that she is in avery dangerous state. Not an article of furniture was saved, and in about half an hour the building was level with the ground. Hornssy Convictep.—The trial of L. C. Horne- by, for the murder of Col. Twogood, was conclu- ded in the Criminal Court yesterday. Messrs. Penn and Soule concluded the argument for the defence, and Mr. urean closed for the prosecution.

The movements in the stock market during the past week have been very fluctuating. and prices forall kinds of stocks have gradually fallen off. The quotations now current, are still high for many fancy securities ; but all good stocks have been seriously affected by the state of the fpolitical subjects of the day. It is a very curious state of affairs,when North American Trust stock advances from day to day from one to three per cent, and United States and Kentucky sixes fall back in about the same proportion. It showsa very unnatural state of things, to say theleast. The accounts from Washington are looked to with much anxiety by stock operators, in consequence ofthe feverish state of the market, and the great influence movements at the capitol exert over transactions in Wall street. The annexed comparative table of quotations im this market, will show the past and present state of the market :— Prices oF rogas ame New Jong Mass: 5.

Ohio 6’ have fallen off 2} per cent since last Saturday. The money market is gradually tightening. The rate of interest has within the past week advanced irom 4a5 percent tod «6 for temporary loans, These rates are established by the banks, to which they adhere,for regular discounts. Money can be obtained in the street at a frac- tion below the last price. The state of the stock market has induced the banks to move cautiously in making loans on such securities as are offered by the brokers. The margin formerly left {for depreciations, might lisappear the first panic, and leave the parties holding stock with hardly sufficient value to realize their loans. A very great falling off in stocks would cause a withdrawal of capital now appropriated to that species of investment, and throw into the market large sums that would seek employment inthe regular channels of trade, Stocks at this moment, are in such a feverish state, that it would not require ac- counts of a very unfavorable nature from any quarter to cause a sudden and rapid- decline, even from the prices now ruling. , The decision of the Supreme Court of Massachu: sin reference to the attachment by the Hamilton Bank of Bos- ton, of funds in its possession at the time the Pheaix Bank of Charlestown failed, has been miv-stated.
