NEW YORK HERALD New Commercial Treaty between the ———— The News from Europe. We publish in this day’s Herald—which is 4 double-sheet—an extremely full and ample sum- mary of the interesting intelligence brought across the Atlantic by the “Acadia” steam ship, and which reached thisetlice yesterday by an exclosive express overland from Boston, several hours in anticipation of every other newspaper establishment in this vity. We had no time in our extra edition of jesterday, inthe bustle and confusion of the mo- ment, to form an accurate opinion of the impor- ance of this intelligence, for our office from 12 gil 2 o’clock, was crowded outside and in- wide with merchants, traders, newsboys, and all jaseee of people, crying out for extras, and proba- jy we issued in the course of a few hours nearly 10,000 extras to satisfy the craving demands. ‘The moet important part of this intelligence to the people ct this city and country at large, ds wadoubtedly that relating to commercial af- fairs, and particularly the new commercial treaty negociated by Mr. Wheaton at Berlin, the history aad eharacter of which is given in onr correspon- dence from Leipsic, in another column. The next is the great fall in the price of cot- tom, has come like a sudden clap of thunder upoathe speculators here. ‘They are prepared for some stight inaction, or decline in price, but for nothing like the fall which the news indicates, It is feared that this intelligence will affi-ct the stand- ing of a great many of the speculators in cotton on all the line from New York to New Orleans. But al- thoug!s individuals may be prostrated, the country at large will not suffer, because the quantity in hand is sufficient to make up any deficiency in price; and as prices on the other side become steady, the shipments will increase, o that greater proceeds will be realized than if the speculation had continued. In other respects the commercial intelligence is highly favorable. With respect to the political news, it presents the affairs of England in pretty much the same state as did the former intelligence. ‘The contest between the two great parties there is still warm and animated; butit is a mere contest about trifling questions and trifling principles—a contest only be- tween two different sets of plunderers, and different aliques of the aristocracy, a contest between opposing faetions of that privileged order who monopolize the benefits of society and government, and all the riches and wealth in the land and on the ocean. The great mass of the people derive no advantage —Jrom a triumph to the Tories to-day, or a vietory tothe Whigs to-morrow, in England. In both these parties there is the same oppressive power bearing the middling and lower c ‘othe earth. In fact, the evils ascribed to the English govern- ment, are evils of the social system. All that Par- hament can do, can never ini the poor man in Iretand, rich—nor the poor man in Scotland, happy —aor the equally poor man in England, comfortable or wealthy. In that respect the rise and fall of parties there, during the present systera of ctviliza- tion, presents merely a choice of evils. We give, in our resumé, an ample variety of theatricals—fashionable affuirs—)iterary matters— and all the other minor topics of the day. Proba- bly there isno paper in New York that ever has been at the expense and pains to give such full, earate and comprehensive intelligence of the affairs ot Europe as we do on the arrival of every steamer Take to-day’s paper for examy Our Special Express. The Acadia arrived at Boston, at a little after twelve o’clock, on Sunday. She touched at Hali- fax onthe 19th. She had been detained two days by ice, and ten hours by fog. This ice and fog were the cause of her long passage. ur special express started from Boston at one o'clock, and reached our office at 1] o’clock, yesterday morning, ahead of all others, and covered with dust, perspi- ration, and victory. ‘This express was a very simple affair, yet it beat every body. It came all the y by land and on horseback. Between Boston and New Haven, six- teen miles, were run in fifty-five minutes, and had Sunday night not been extremeiy dark, we should have had the news by o'clock yesterday morn- ing. The run from New Haven to this city was made in five houre and ten minutes, which is equal to sixteen miles an hour! In five minutes after the messenger arrived, our whole establishment was in motion, and in one hour we published and flooded the city with Exrra Heratos. We did this without any effort, and sup- plied the mercantile community with the news in time to operate upon in the markets. We served all alike. Our office was crowded with merchants, traders, mechanics and newsboys. There was another express run with the news, but it was a private affair and intended for the southern cotton market. It arrived after ours did, but will probably reach Charleston, Mobile and New Orleansa day or two in advance of Wickliffe’s mail ; a footman, however, could easily do that. There was one laughable feature about the re- ceipt of the news by the Acadia. Our respectable contemporary of the “Sun” had a horseman sta- tiened at Harlem, and when our express passed through, this chap dashed on after him, and to the “Sun” office to give the public the impression that that concern also run an express. It was aballoon affair altogether, and so it was looked upon. The news boys put their thumb to their noses and sai “no yon don’t,” and our contemporary sent a young figancier over to our office to obtain one of the first Extra Heravps issued. This he got, but inrepub- lishing the news, he botched it so horribly that no one would have any thing to do with it. Our Ex- tea went every where and gave the merchants all the information they wanted. They would have nothing to do with the balloon affair. Such are the facts relative to our special express. Gneat Tyvek Coxveytion,—Oa Thursday next, we believe, at Sha! re Hall, or Washington Hall, we are not sure which, th rat Tyler Con- vention meets for the purpose nominating dele- gates to the great National Tyler Convention, at Baltimore. This will be « curious assemblage, and the first one of the Tyler meetin. lie, for we don’t conceive that they can keep closed doors any longer. They have had private meetings and meetings in streets not lighted with lamps long enough. It is time forthe Tyler men, if they any force to comefout and show theinselves to the world, and let us know what stre ey can muster, and what force they can bring into the ene suing contest. open to the pub- ave Carrams Bon Tyrer has been here very basily engaged in opposing and countermiaing the movements of Mr. Webster. He returned to Wash- angton the day before yesterday, and isexpected to return here ina few da in order to complete the arrangements made by the recent tremendous meetings which have been so quietly got up, #© eloquently reported in the Government o} the “ Aurora”—meetings of which nobody ever heard or dreamed until they saw the accounts of them in that newspaper. In fact, things are ina pretty state of confusion here, and it willtake a week of the boiling and bubbling of the politi cauldron to show with any sort of ce rtainty what variety of liquor isto come ont of this vessel, Taanks.—We are indebted to Nathaniel Greene, Esq., the Post Master at Boston, for Mnglish papers which he kindly forwarded to us by ihe land mail Our expresses had, however, antic New York merchants are also indebted to him for the early receipt of their letters.

United States and Prussia, Enropean Correspondence of the Herald. Latrzic, 27th March, 1544. New Commercial Treaty between the > ted Stal and Prussia, ineluding the Zoll- verein—Its seerct History—Its obnoxious features, It will interest you, to learn that a commercial treaty has been signed at Berlin by Mr. Wheaton for the United States and by the Prussian Minieter on behalf of the Zollverein, but I doubt if Congress will ratify the same, as we are completely shaved therein. Tobacco pays at present an import duty of 54 rix dollars, about $4 the ewt. when imported in the Zollverein; thie is tobe reduced on Ameri- can Tobacco 1} rix dollars, leaving a duty of 4 rix dollars, equal to about 2 dollars90 cents. In consid- eration of this reduction, the United States bind themselves to reduce the duty on linen and all Ger- man manufactured goeds, co as not to exceed 20 per cent ad yalorem; now mark, the average cost of Cuba, Domingo,V arinas, and Porto Rico tobacco 1s about 20 eta. the Ib., on which the duty remains about $4 the ewt., making about 20 per cent. ad valorem. Our Tobacco costs about 4f cts. the lb, the duties on which being acecording to this treaty $2,90 equal to about 63 per cent.; and this the Prus- sian calls a great bargain; we will pay about 40 per cent more on our Tobacco than those of the named West Indies, and shall in return for this great kind- ness, admit their goods at a less rate of duty, than when imported from other places. The Prussian government considers Brother Jonathan good na- tured enough, to let himself be duped in this way. Our Tobacco planters will not receive the least benefit thereby, as the finer kinds used, principally for segar wrappers and making a better average quality with German tobacco, forms already one- fourth of all the tobacco imported in the Prussian Zollverein, and continues to increase. The duty of tobacco ought not to be over 2rix dollars,andAmer- tean one; if any increase in the consumption shall be produced. Congress should insist thereon. The Prussian government cannot impose any duty on Cotton, without destroying her spioning mills, and the other governments will never convent that the present rate of duty on Rice should be raised. Our exports to thefZollverein will,therefore, remain the ame, if ever this treaty should be rejected. How disadvantageous this treaty is considered egainst the United States, will show you the best in the following fact. The Baden Chamber of Deputies, discussed the present tariffof the Zollverein: in coming on the article of Tobacco, a secret session was asked by the Minister of Finance, in which he asked the Chamber to pass over thiaarticle with- out discussion, because a very advantageous treaty had just been signed for the Zollverein, at Berlin, with the United States, and it was to be feared» the Congress of the U.S treaty, if the real truth was told in this discussion ; and the Chamber passed over in consequence of the received information, the article of Tobacco. 1 con- sidered it, therefore, my duty as an American citi- zen, to give you this information, You will ask, how igit possible that Mr. Wheaton could sign such a treaty? This I will try to explain to you. Mr. Wheaton who had steadily pursued his endeavors for the last 8 years to have the duties on Tobacco diminished, did re t fall, positive orders to make overtures on this ct, Referring you to the answer of Mr. Bulow, yon will pere tthe P: n government took it rather coolly; saying first, reduce the duties on Gerr gocds, and we will then see what we can do on Tobacco Mr. Mark, who had brought Mr. Wheaton’s dis- patches trom the United Sta appears to have worked go much on the President, and must have shown him an advantageous side, that he brought not only back to Mr. Wheaton the most extensive powers on this subject, but the po e orders that a treaty showld be concluded before the Convention at Baltimore tock place, and that he should act in con- cert with Mr. Mark, to whom he had given verbal- ly more ample instructions. What could Mr. Whea- ton do, but sign the best treaty he could get? You wil further ask, who is this Mr. Mark? 1 can only give you what the Gazette of Cologne, of 3d February, Aix la Chapelle, of 7th and 2lst Feb- ruary, and nearly all the German newspapers, say of him. : [tlere are given the extracts from the German papers } This is the substance what the German news- papers laid to his charge—they expressed a hope that the Prussian gevernment would refuse him his exequatur, A number of the papers containing these charges against Mark, were sent to him, but he did not reply with a single word, and confirmed thereby the truth of these charg: The ditierent chambers of commerce and the principal houses have protested against his being acknowledged, and it is to be seen wi Prussia and Bavaria will do. Whatgood could, therefore, come from aman who could not reply to such serious charges, and who could not identify himself with the present American generation, having lived since 20 years in a monarchical despotical government. Well might it therefore be construed that he would rather lend himself to the interest of the Zoll- verein than fo those of the United States. You are the best able to judge on the spot how he could have obtained such confidence on the part of the President; every one is here astonished, and I have been’a hundred times asked, are there no good men in the United States who would have d the office as consal,worth together at least thousand a year? J have always considered it unlawful that one man should hold at the same time two offices of profit. Elberfeld, where, here- tofore, the residence of the United States consul for the Rheaish Prussian Provinces was, is about 400 miles from Bamberg, where Mr. Mark intends to reside—the mail takes nearly 4 days; now how ean Mr. Mark fulfil the duties at both places? Tam unacquainted with Mr. Mark, but, from his own talk, he must be a vain, light-headed man, He tells here, at adele tables, that it was him who wrote for the President and Secretary of State, that part of their message and report to Congress which spoke of Germany. Now, any one who knows Mr. Tyler and knows anything of the late Mr. Upshur, must know at once that this is not true. Mr. Mark will come over to the United States with the treaty as soon as the other govern- ments who compose the Zollverein, have sanc- tioned the same. The Prussian governm fear that the President and Congress will not ratify the same, and Mr. Mark has been promised the exe- quatur if he succeeds in obtaining the ratification, 1 hope, however, for the honor of the United States that this will not be the case, and that the President will remove Mr. Mark, and appoint i hie place two honest men, who are at least in heart American cit d are known as such in the United States, and trust that you will, as usual, make this subject known. many I cannot give much good report. s ursues steadily her course of absolutism. What liberty was fained in consequence of the July revolution in France, has been more that lost —the pressis uader strong censorship, and the United States and their prosperity are a stumbling stone to them. You would laugh if you should read the accounts their oflicial papers give of us, and a good joke, which you so often give, or an amusing description of yours of meetings, hal re held out as an evidence of our depraved ¢ acter and manner. I will, should this communica- | tion not be unwelcome to you, give you soon a more detailed account of their doings and ten- { Meantime remain,with sincere esteem and s Mr. Wensren ty New York.—Mr. Webster ar- rived here, we believe, on Saturday last, and has been very busy since amongst his friends, in rela- tion to the contemplated changes in the Custom House of this city. We understand that he has examined the questions involyed, and the con- templated removal of Mr, Curtis, and i opinion decidedly against the power and 4 of the President or Secretary of the ‘Treasury to remove him, or supercede him in any respect. It is supposed, also, that Mr. Webster will not speak at the anti-annexation meeting on Wednesday, but will reserve himself for some other great oe asion on which he can meet the position and sentiments of Mr. Calhoun more distinctly, leaving this m te ing entirely to New York speakers, in order that it may be called a New York expression of senti- ment. Mr. Webster, according to all accounts, is pre- paring for the contest for the snecession in epposi- tion to Mr. Calhoun, who will, it appears, be the Most prominent man in the conflict of 1848.

MEETING AGAINST THE ANNEXATION oF Texas.— We understand that very great efforts are making in this city to get up a large meeting at the Tuberna- cle, on Wednesday evening, against the annexa- tion of Texas, and for the purpose of showing the Executive and Congress that a large portion of the citizens of New York are entirely opposed to thag measure. Several hundred signatures have already been procured forthe call of that meeting, and amongst them we have seen the name of Albert Hatin, and several of the most eminent finan- ciers, politiciansand merchants in the lower part of the city, Many also of the Van Buren men have signed this call, and also a greater part of the friends of Clay. No doubt a very great effort will be made on that evening to show forth the impoli- cy of the measure, and perhaps its unconstitution- ality, accompanied with all the eloquence and pow- er of argument that the speakers can possibly mus- ter on the occasion. Amongst the speakers we have heard named, Theodore Sedgwick and John W. Edmonds, both belonging to the democratic party; on the whig side, we understand that David Graham, Esq., and others probably, who have not been named to us, will also make specches. It really would appear, from the axpect in which this movement presents itself now, that it is a combination of the com- mercial and business men with eapitalists and polie ticians, both of the whig and locofeco party, for the purpose of making a strong opposition to the present administration, and particularly t9 the mea- sure in relation to Texas. Probably the prominent cause of this movement, may be a desire to prevent any actionof the government that might affect the commercial and financial interests of this city, which might result from compromising its business relations with England and Mexico. No doubt there are some political reasons inducing many to join in the movement. The sentiments of Mr. Clay are now well known to be adverse to the an- nexation of Texas, as at present presented, to the public ; and although itis generally supposed that Van Buren is preparing to take the side of annexa- tion, yet many of his friends may for particulat purposes take ground against it, so as to cast an anchor to windward in the Northern States, for the next Presidential election. Altogether this movement is a very complex one. It has a bit of speculation—a bit of politics—a bit of Clayism—a bit of Van Burenism—a bit of whig- gism—and a bit of loco-focoism, all mingled and huddled up together, so as to produce seme sort of a feeling against the administration, and against the movements of Mr. Calhoun, as backed and en- dorsed by Mr. Tyler. What the result may be, it is impossible yet to foresee exactly ; but we ‘shall take care to give a full report of the proceedings on the night in question. Tue New Porice —There seems to be a good deal of difference of opinion in rela- tion to the sentiments of the people of New York, relative to the provisions of the new Police Bill, now before the Legislature at Albany. Some say that this is satisfactory to the party that have come into power. We have madesome enquiries on the subject, and from those persons who are likely to know the sentiments they entertain on this Bill, and recording to the best enqmry, we have reason to believe that this Bill gives dissatisfaction to the native party. Indeed, we have seen petitions set in motion by the American Republicans, in order to send to Albany to arrest the further progress through. They object to the general provisions of the Billon the grounds of the inadequacy ot its ions, and the inefficiency of the force pro- Under the present system nearly 1400 or 1500 men are employed under various professions for each. Now, in the new Bill, nearly 750 are to be employed to guard the city by night and day, a force totally inadequate, as must oe seen, accord- ing to such amount as are now employed. Seven hundred and fifty men are entirely inadequate ; and we trust, that if the legislature means to pass a bill of any kind, they will passa bill that will Fgive power to create anadequate force for our city. Anotner Iron Steamer Larncuen.—There was aunched, on Saturday last, at the West Point foun- dry, Cold Spring, the U.S. revenue iron steamer Spencer, with submerzed paddle wheels, construc- ted on the plan of Lieut. Hunter, of the Navy.— The West Point Foundry Company hes already erected one steamer o7 this plan, the Alert, which is now in successful operation on Lake Erie, and we understand they are about to build another to go to Nortolk, Va. The Alert has accomplished upwards of eleven miles an hour, and the Spencer is expected to ex- ceed her inepeed. The two vessels lately launched, the Legare and the Spencer, the first with screw propellers, and the second with the Hunter propellers, are regarded with great interest, as the relative advantage of the two plans will be tairly tested, the vessels being both of iron, and about the same tonnage. We learn that the Spencer is for this station. Engction ry tHe 12rm1 Warv.—The County Clerk informed the Board of County Canvassers, at their meeting yesterday, that no return of the re- cent charter election had been received from that Ward, and the result, therefore, will be that a new election may be ordered, or the Ward go unrepre- sented for the year in the Common Council. Gonr To Excianp.—Col. James Watson Webb, iled yesterday in the Liverpool for Englard. Me displayed some taste in his selection of a ship: There are none better than the Liverpool. Sportine Inrennicence—Trorrivc.—By refer- ence to an advertisement under sporting head, it will be seen that Medoc, of Brooklyn, and Snaffle, of this city, meet again this day, when a contest in trotting, worth the attention of all those fond of the sport, may be anticipated. It is but one week since these two horses, on the same course, made much sport and good time, Medoe bearing off the palm, much to the dissatisfaction of the other party. The roads are fine, the drive delightful, the track in good order, and the attentions at the course ex- cellent. Therefore, let all those who are fond of a rare treat not miss the opportunity. f3- We would remind our readers that this is the laughing night of New York, as Mr. Colton gives his third Exhilirating Gas Exhibition at Nib- lo’s Saloon, this evening. Mr. Colton requests us to say that he has never laid claim to the title of he Professor,” nor has he ever used that title when speaking of himself.

Never was the Museum blessed with a greater flood of prosperity, and never did it more richly deserve it.
