Me. Puuuties’s New ENTERTAINMENT OF THE Orv Merropotts.—Tnis should be more properly called a history of London, from the restoration of Charles to the abdication of his brother. We have a description of the parks and the gallants, as also of the origin. of the Charter-housxe, Covent Garden, &c, all of which have been extracted by by Mr. Phillips or his scribe from C. Knight's clever work of ‘* London.” There are also a sketch of Whitefriara, the Alsatia in Sir W. Scott’s Nigel.” the anecdote from Pepys’s “Diary” of Dryden's incentive in writing the sea fight, anda fuil account of the execution of Charles the First, from Lord Clarendon and Barnet, besides other matter, all crowded in most “admired disorder.” Tne vocal portions of the entertainment were by far the most interesting. There was a song by the ‘unfortunate Richard Lovelace, from his collection of poems, called ‘“Lucasta.” It was encored, but if Mister Phillips had favoured his audi- ence with a sketch of poor Lovelace’s romantic life, it would have found sympathy from his audi- ence. Lord Rochester’s beautiful song, “ My dear mistress,” to which the melody of Spofforth’s ele- gant glee might be well adapted; Dryden’s “ Sea- fight,” excellently sung and encored; a laughing song, from Beaumont and Fletcher, “¢’Tis mirth ;” and one of Mr. Phillip’s own glowing airs, con- cluded the first part. In the second there were songs of the Cavaliers, one of which, ‘* Down among the dead men,” (alluding to an empty bot- tle,) was encored; but we miust confess that we are of opinion it was only the one having the air of antiquity, the whole of the others being modern, and probably composed for this entertainment There was a large attendance, and much praise is due to Mr. Phillips for his animated singing. He is about to make a tour in the United States. Mustcat Doinas tuis Weex.—Duprez on Mon- day, Wednesday, and Friday, at Drury-lane.

There is no artiste who ha: arrived amongst us with a higher reputation than the gentleman in question, with respect to voice. science, and feeling; and having already establish: himselt as the first tenor in Italy and France, there can be no doubt of his attaining that high honor in this country. In order te do every justice to the opera, the band has been greatly increased.— mdon Post, March 7. Durrez’s Arrgarance anp Vorce.—On his first appearance in London the Reviewer says: ‘* The entrance of Duprez as Arnold, supporting his fa- ther, was the signal of an immense reception for the new comer. It was remarked, near us, ‘how short he is in stature.’ Certainly Duprez is not moulded after nature’s finest proportions. He has not the femoral advantages of Nourrit, which enabled the atter to copy the ancient statues, but there is mucli jutellectuality in the face of Duprez, and his action is easy, graceful, and dignified. That he has the n ot genius, he subsequently established. The ‘st qualities recognised were his admirable ac- cent and articulation. His facility was truly wou dertul. Every syllable was distinct, and no trace could be found of the nasal sounds so disagreeable in French singing. Inthe charming passage, ‘ Ma- tilda, though we sever,’ the breadth of his cantabile was manifest. In this little bitof tender melody he infused the most impassioned expression. Baanam in Scor.anp.—It will be seen by the fol- lowing extract from the Edinburgh Advertiser of Tuesday, that Mr. Braham’s reception in Scotland has been most enthusiastic. The veteran sang in London last Friday, and in the Scotch capital en Monday, and on Wednesday he was to sing Glasgow: —*Mr. Braham, whose name and fame as a vocalist are net of yesterday, made his appear- ance in the Scottish metropolist last night, after an absence of fifteen years, he not having been among the citizens of the Modern Athens since the year 1829. The announcement of such a visit from the greatest singer of the present day—from him, who, for the last fifty years, has kept his place at the head of his own profession, couid not fail to ex- cite a lively interest among the musical public, and a corey to look again upon the countenaace and listen to the voice of that most eminent, and con- sidering his age, most extraordinary vocal perform. er. Aa, indeed, it would have been a strange state ot things, and a melancholy reflection upon the tast~ of the capital of Scotland, and a never-to-be: forgotten evidence of their ingratitude and want 0) discerament, had the man whose fame is not only European, but as wide as the bounds of the civili- zed world, come among us on this vccasion to mee! with a cold or spiritless reception. For their sakes, however, no less thaa his own, Mr. Braham’s re- ception fast night was all that he could have wish ed for. It was, in every sense of the word, enthu- siastic, cordial, aud triamphant. He was welcom ed by the largest and most fashionable assemblage that has ever yetgraced the interior of the Music Hall, and when the veteran professor made his ap- ance he was ray, aad repeatedly applauded. The concert consisted entirely of sacred music, and Mr. Braham was assisted by his tvo sons, Mr. Charles Braham and Mr. Hamilton Braham, who, on this occasion, made their first appearance in Scotland.” Tue Amertcan Company AT THE AMPWITHEATRE The Amphitheatre has re-opened, having been taken for a short period by the American Company of Equestrians, who gave so much delight and sa- tisfaction to the “dear public” last year. In proof of the estimation in which Mr. Sands and his “‘clever boys” are held in this town, we may observe thai up to Saturday last, Mr. Copeland and his French Company have been playing to almost empty bench- es, while from that period until last night “roarinj houses” have gladdened the present lessee’s visual organs. The American Company consists of many of the old favorites, amongst whom are Mr. Pent- jand, the drolkand facetious Bostonian, Mr. Lipman, the somerset thrower, Mr. Buckley, Mr. Derious, Mr. Decamp, & The attractiveness of the “Troop” is increased by the presence of Mr. Van Amburgh and his wild animals. Amongst other novelties ig anelephant which performs a variety of curious tricks. The sagacity of the huge animal is exemplified in one of them, in which he walks over the prostrate body ofhis keeper. It is truly sin- gular and pleasing tosee the huge animal gather himself up as he approaches his master, and observe how cautiously he puts out one foot, and then slowly lifts up the other, until he has passed over him. Another clever quadruped is a monkey named Major Downing, whose grave antics excite shouts of laughter. The comoany generally intro- duce many novel feats of agility, the most remark- able of whicn are those by Mr. Sands and his little brother, afterthe manner of the Risleys. When this company were last here, their second clown was Mr. Rockwell, ac lever, unassuming “‘mimic;” his place has been filled by Mr. Wallett, who has appeared occasionally with the Cookes, Mr. Ryan, &e. Mr. Wallett seems to have taken up a new line of “Clownery,” if we may coin a word for the occasion, and avery bad one it is.—Liverpaol pa- per, March 9 Her Majesty’s Theatre opened in London an the 10th ult.

Upon those two points the Court decided (the other two points raised being immaterial) that admitting the plaintiff was bound to prove the defendant in possession during the last quarter, their impression was he could de this by fering the same evidence that was given on the former rial, with euch an addition as he could furnish, and such ion of proof in thix suit was not competent to gain former decision—it was good only to show the eviction did not continue.

If, then, the landlord could show that in fact he had never evicted'the tenant, it was an answer to pre. sumption of'continued eviction ; but such proofs could not affect the decision as to the former quarter, The other objections are, we think, untenable, and we are of opinion the verdict must be confirmed with ose?

Stanton, counsel for plaintiff, opened the case by stating that both parties resiaed in 1941, at the Wallabout, that the defendant was at that time clerk to Dr. Hurlbut, and an intimacy commenced between them the result of which was the seduction of the plaintiff and the birth of the child. The learned counsel continued to say, that before and subsequently to the seduction, and also before and subsequent to the birth of the child, the defendant made repeated promises of marriage to plaintiff when they were alone, but would deny it when any one was present In 1943 the plaintiff’ went to defendant's store, accompanied by a woman numed Ann Brown, and upon this occasion he promised to marry her; the woman Brown made an af fidavit of the fact. Counsel continued to say he had jus received information that Ann Brown intended to make a different statement when called as a witness to the stand; ifhis war incorrect the cause should be dis- continned, as she was the principal witness Ans Brown was then called and sworn. denied ever having heard any conver the plaintiffand defendant.

Ta consequence of the pressure of news and ad- vertisernents, we have been compelled to issue a Suppuement to the Herald this day. It will be served to every city subseriber—those who buy in the streets must go without it. Foreign News—E! it Days Later. Beginning on the first page will be found a full synopsis of the foreign news, brought to this port yesterday, by the fast packet ship Sheridan, Capt. De Peyster—being eight days later than our last in- telligence. It is singular how these ships of E. K. Collins do run over the Atlantic! It is really singular how his Captains do put in the “rich licks!” Can any body solve these mathematical questiens ? We received the news yesterday by half-past two, by an express overland from Long Island, : beg about three hours ahead of every other paper in New York. No wonder that we are called a Robespierre, a Fra Diavolo, or a Don Basilio—we do so pick up the news, at least. Our establish- ment all prepared—having been apprised of the ar- rival below through the Telegraph—we went to work, got out extras for the South, North and West, in time to go exclusively by the afternoon expresses of Adams and Co., Pomeroy, and Harn- den and Co., thus anticipating Mr. Wickliffe’s uery fast mails one day all over the country. We then issued a capital Exrra for sale and circulation by the newsboys—an Extna of practical utility to all the business men of New York, in this great year of the revival of trade—not a hoax—a hum- bug about a balloon excursion that would make an old horse laugh and say—‘‘I’m satisfied—come, take my bridle and skin off—not forgetting the old Movements and Views of the New Reform Corporation. Every person is asking what are the views of the Reform Corporation? How will they act on ap- pointments to office? Will they make a general sweep? On what jirinciples will they appoint? Who will have the greatest influence with them? These are very natural questions now propound- ing every where around the city, by about 8 or 10,000 persons who have already started into exist- ence as applicants for office. Petitions and signa- tures have already been preparing in any quantity —and the Reform Aldermen have been run down like stags by packs of beagles for the last few days. In order to stop this system of office-begging per- secution of the new aldermen, who have as yet committed no sin of omission or commiesion to deserve such an infliction, we will state for the benefit of the office-beggars certain general views and principles which we believe have been discus- sed and agreed upon by the new corporation. First—no good moral and efficient man now in of- fice under the present corporation will be removed for his simple political position in former parties, or his present opinion on the existing candidates for the presidency now before the nation. Second —every lazy, indolent, immoral, inattentive, in- temperate,or violent partisan, now in office, will be ascertained on sufficient evidence, and will be forth. with made to give way for better men as soon as the new boards come into power. Third—no question or inquiry will be made of any candidate for office whether he be friendly to Clay, Van Buren, Tyler, Cass, or any other man—but simply whether he is honest, capable, economical, and true to the constitution of his country—and espe- cially to the cause of City Reform in New York. These principles of action, or general views, have been talked over and discussed at two or three con- fidential interviews and meetings between the Re- form Corporation in conjunction with the Execu- tive Committee of the Reformers at Military Hall Allapplications for office will be made in the usual way to the new Mayor and Corporation ; but all papers of recommendation numerously signed, will be repudiated, rejected and abolished. When these applications are received, they will be considered, and those candidates only wll be appointed who are known by the different Ward Committees of the Re- formers to have been honest, moral, fuithful, and en- ergetic friends of the general cause since the election of last fall. It isof no sort of consequence whethe, they may be friends of Clay or of Van Buren for the next Presidency. The principal inquiry is, “are you in favor of city reform, economy, hard work, temperance, the Bible in the public schools, and the complete abelition and overthrow of all at- tempts by ecclesiastics of all kinds, to interfere with political or civil Affairs?” “and are you in favor of putting down forever all those associations £Irish, or other foreigners, as a distinct race or creed, got up by the little corrupt politicians to trade away for office to the bigger politicians, and to operate indirectly or directly on the great mass of American voters?” ! It will be seen, therefore, from these movements already taken by the Reform Corporation, that they have begun honestly and vigorously to carry out he great moral and political principles, which pro- luced the recent revolution, and which carried them into power. No illegal or unconstitutiona! proscription will be made of the Irish, or any other foreigners, assuch. ‘Their civil, political, and reli- sious rights will be protected and taken care of, but they must become in fact, as well asin name, American citizens, by mingling with the American people, as the drops of rain from the mountains mingle with the Hudson River; they must avoid all listinet, separate, or ridiculous associations here- after Bishops, (Bishop Hughes particularlyincluded,) priests, parsons, and other clergymen, will also take notice to quit politics of every kind—and to confine their labors hereafter to their sacred call- ing—to the ceremonies and mysteries of religion— to the advancement of morals—to the cause of temperance, charity, and benevolence. In this way these sacred men will indirectly aid and assist the carrying out of the great moral revolution of New York—and will help to reorganize society on better principles, than all the dreams and visions that’ever emanated from the muddy brains of Horace Greeley & Co., and his whole tail of Fou- rierites. ‘The recent revolution was the result of common sense against political depravity and bribery—the uprising of the Bible against those fanatics or fools who are afraid of its open perusal in school, unless of a particular imprimateur. 1 myself am a Ca- tholic, or Papist, just as you please. I was borna Catholic. All my progenitors on both sides were Catholice. My brother, uncle, granduncle,and other innumerable relatives, wete all educated for the priesthood, some in France, some in Rome, some in Spain, and several of them became dignataries in the Church. I was educated a strict Catholic, butit was asan enlightened Catholic too. My school book, in my boyish days, was the Bible— King James's Btble—the Protestant Bible. Yet I never found that the reading of that Bible at school ever left any bad effects behind, On the con- trary, it left good effects. It filled the young mind with the glorious images, the classic lan- guage, the noble ideas, and the ever-living pas- ciples of true religion fromfits upper fountains. Chere can be no harm to a good, moral, liberal, in- telligent Catholic in having the Bible—yes, even the Protestant Bible, in school. The Bible is the Bible in every language—in every translation—in every church—in every sect. Bishop Hughes committed a most fatal mistake ever to raise that ittle, narrow, bigotted question about different ranslations before this Christian and intelligent community. He inflicted by that act a more fatal wound 1 the progress, the purity, and the libe- ality of his religion, than a thousand Potts, Chee Lowa tron x $3000 to. $4000; insured for. $3 7 ' | zers, or Kirks, could ever do, by their violent de- Jote tn catiteated ot $1000 ONS ee areemeh, McMahon’ | cunciations. ‘The unly excuse for him is that, like April ‘child, he was beguiled into the error by ‘Thur — ow Weed & Co., on the one side, and by Slamm, Nava. —U. 8. ship Constitution, Captain Perei | Sang & Co. on the other, to subserve their own po- al, dropped down from the Navy Yard, and | itical purposes, It has burned the fingw o{ both iprid 12. | very nicely, Tux New Porice Systrm.—The new Police now before the Legislature, which has led to a good deal of excitement in consequence of the efforts of the locofocos to have it passed entirely! for their benefit, is a matter of very considerable interest and importance to thiseity. So far aswe areable to sean the provisions of this bill, it seems to be a good one, the only objectionable feature being that clause which gives to the present corporation the power of making all appointments under it for four years. This certainly exhibits a tolerable amount of impudence on the part of these gentry. Al- though an immense majority of the people of this city have decided that they are unfit tobe trusted with power, yet these members of the Corporation have the modesty to ask the power to carry into effect the very reform which they have so pertina- ciously denied We hope and trust that the country members will reject this clause from the body of the bill. Still, however, sooner than want the bill for another year, we would let it pass as it is. Though the locofo- cos should have the appointment of the new po- lice officers, we must recollect that the new Corpo- ration will have the supervision of them, and the man who would neglect his duty would very spee- dily bedischarged. Indeed, we are rather disposed to believe that if the officers were appointed by the Paul’s—Saillors. The Rev. Mr. Waxron delivered a very impres- siye and interesting discourse before a crowded and highly fashionable congregation last evening, on the subject of the moral and social condition of the poor mariner. Inthe course of his address, he drew avery graphic picture of the present neglected con- dition of the poor sailor—the toils and hardships he was doomed to undergo—his home was upan the deep, and his morals were exposed to all sorts of corruption and vice. The subject bad been lately taken up, and ina purely Christian spirit. His was a life of toil, anxiety and care, and he was the con- necting link between the family of nations. They were deemed a sort of peculiar race, and were left neglected for a number of centuries without any religious instruction, and they were not placed upon the level of civilised man. This was highly repre- hensible. They belonged to the great family of man; and tothe one fold and one shepherd ; "and whether ships floated upon the ocean under sail, or impelled by steam, still the sailor was the ligament that bound togetner the nations He was cou- Tageous as the lion, and gentle as the lamb; and when the great number or this class of man was taken into account, their neglected condition was truly deplorable. As well could be ascertained over 150,000 seamen were employed on our coast and in our harbors, and out of this num- ber 40,000, on the average, transiently visit New York, while 4000 always remained in port —~ Over 200,000 plyed upon the rivers and their locofocos, they would be much more likely to dis- charge their duty with fidelity and efficiency, and the new corporation to watch them more strictly, than if they were appointed by the latter. Bracn’s Last Hoax. —On Saturday last the community were very much exasperated by being imposed upon by a ridiculous hoax, issued by that manufacturer of hoaxes of all kinds, whether in banking or anything else, that offers the prospect of “turning a penny,” Moses Y. Beach, This hoax was in the form of an extra, giving an account of the arrival at Charleston, S. C., of a balloon from England, and extracts from the journal of the voya- geurs. When this blundering blockhead had an intention of getting up something in the hoaxing line, he ought to have engaged some person who had common sense and who had information enough to preserve localities and other necessary circumstances in such a narrative. But it was so blunderingly got up—so ridiculously put together— so preposterously issued, that it reminded us of one of his recent hoaxes in the banking line—the Jack- sonville Bank, which was equally blunderingly got up, but somewhat less harmless to the public than this miserable affair. This Beach is famousin the way of hoaxing. He does not confine his talent in this line to moon sto- ries—or balloon stories—but he carries it into the financial and banking system of the country to a very great extent. We have seen three or four of his bank hoaxes. First, we had the Ulster Bank hoax—that exploded as the hoax of Saturday. Then we had the Malone Bank hoax—that also exploded as the hoax of Saturday. Thencame the Jackson- ville Bank hoax, and that likewise exploded, as every body who held any of its netes will probably remember without our jogging their memory. At present,he is very busy with a certain bank in New Jersey and is endeavoring to re-issue its circulation upon the .lower classes of society to a very great extent. We advise them, however, to take care of this hoax-man hereafter. The New York city bank notes are the thing. No hoax about them. A Visrren on ’Cuance.—On Saturday last, a very respectable visiter made his appearance in the Exchange, and created a good deal of sensa- tion in that bustling mart. It was no less a person- age than Jacob Barker, Esq., formerly well known in this city, and now an eminent citizen of New Orleans. Mr. Barker arrived here on Friday last by the way of Mobile and Charleston from New Orleans. On his way he fell in with Mr. Clay, and had a lengthened conversation with him about the Texas question, the particulars of which, lrowever,we are not authorized to give. At Washington he called on Captain Tyler, and saw how things were going on in that quarter. Mr. Barker is well known in this country as being one of the most remarkable and original-minded men that has ever appeared amongst the mercantile classes in Wall street. His great genius—his intimate familiarity with all the details of commerce and finance—and his fertile imagination in creating plans and forming schemes alarmed many of the financiers that figured in Wall street twenty’years ago, and they commenced a most vindictive and utterly groundless persecu- tion against him, which terminated in their signal discomfiture. Mr. Barker now finds that these men, his former enemies, are sadly down ap heel, or to speak more poetically, ‘in. the sear ¢nd yellow leaf,” whilst he himself, with a renovated frame, a flow of spirits almost appreaching to youthfulness, and a firm and clear inteilect, is in the full tide of prosperity in the great metropolis of the South. cordiality by his eld friends on Change. from the celebrated Fresh pond, near Boston.

These men, in our ports, were on the sea, subjected to every deba- sing influence When in the ship—the salor was often doomed to hear the language of licentiousness, and the checks of consciencewere but too often overpoweredby the dread of ridicule on the wide waters.

[From the Boston Times, Extra, April 13.] Mumicrrat Court.—It will be recollected that a week ortwo since, our mercantile community were thrown into a state of tremendous excitement, in consequence of reputed frands und swindling on the part of commercial firm in this city— ‘ondey & Co, doing business at 14 Commercial street, and who have been known for five or six years past as enterprising merch: mong us, inthe general grocery and produce line, These ed frauds were said to cover a large amount—say from $50,- 000 to $100,000—and consisted in obtaining, at diveratimes end in large quantities, goods from our merchants on false representations and pretences. ery recently an unusually large amount of purchases, it was said, had been made for cash and on time: i ments and advances made and received—goods sold at tion, and the proceeds realized converted to thé the firm—and ithen representations given out that they were unable to meet their engagements. ‘The parties have recently signified their intention to go through Chancery, and have in conformity thereto taken the ne- cesaary Regal steps. At the time above referred to, the parties were arrested and examined before the Police Court, and some dozen of our heaviest and most respect- a'le merchants appeared and gave evidence against the the firm on a charge of conspiracy with intent to defraud. This evidence covered a wide field, but was deemed by the Court insufficient, even on a primary examination, to im- plicate them, and they were accordingly discharged. Evidence was then submitted to the Grand Jury, and yesterday, at the heel of their session, an indictment was returned to the Court.
