VERY LATE NEWS FROM EUROPE! | ARRIVAL OF THE STEAMER HIBERNIA AT BOSTO Twenty Hours in advance of the U.S. Mail! The Steamer Hibernia, from Liverpool, with fifteen days later intelligence, arrived at Boston on Sunday afternoon, This steamer was signalized at 2 o’clock P. M., and reached the wharf at Beston at half past 5 o'clock. {mmediately after, the private and exclu sive Express, arranged by our agents at Boston, started with the news, and reached our office, overland by horses, at a quarter to 2 u’clook yester diy P.M. We went to work and issned an Exrea, with the fullest accounts, iacludiog mar kets, ship news and passengers, which was sent exclusively by the southern and western mails yes terday afternoon ut 2 o'clock, one day in advance of the United States Mails There ws no other express run from Boston Yet several of our cotemporaries maanly affected to have the news, and to publish it after procuring it from our office clandestine The “Journal of Commerce” had some erroneous items of the cot- ton market on their Bulletin, which we have rea- gon to believe was given them by a cotton broker The Presidential Election—A Single Term. ‘The question of the next Presidency is engaging the attention of all, and while the whigs are uni- ted, enthusiastic, warm and zealous in carrying into effect the arrangements made by them in | Baltimore, the other party, the democracy, are equally busy, but in an altogether diflerent way— | they are quarrelling, fighting, squabbling, diseus- sing and debating who will be their candidate, and what sort of measures they will adopt {n regard to Texas, the tariff, and other questions. One of the most important questions which affect the Presidency, and which has made its appearance of late years, isthat respecting the restriction of presidential candidates to the one term priaciple, and their consequent ineligibility for re-election. {tis well known in the history of this country, that President Washington declined a re-election, and that it was ouly after a great deal of persuasion that he consented to accept the office for a second time, and then only in order to give character, reputation, and permanence to the practical! action of the new government This precedent, how- ever, has been the cause of all the re-elections that we have seen since that period. But of late years, so many evils have grown up from the at- tempts of every President to use the patronage in his hands for the purpose of securing a re-election, that the practical good sense of the people has been gradually bringing them to aconviction of the ne- cessity of restricting the tenure of the President’s office to a single term, although the greatest lati- tude is given by the Constitution, The first election of General Jackson was in some measure attributable to the solemn declara- tion of his party that he would serve only one term, but after this distinguished man reached the White House, a crowd of flatterers and corrupt politicians sot about him, and placed the country in such a position, that he was persuaded to stand for a re- election, which was carried in consequence of his great personal popularity, and the peculiar crisis of affairs at that period. The principle thus asserted by the democratic party became a subject of great inquiry amongst their opponents, the whigs, and it is well known that at the Harrisburgh Conven- tion, when General Harrisen was nominated, who received it from us under certain pledges that were violated. The ‘Sun’ published a meagre Extra, taken from our’s, about an hour after we had flooded the city with tens of thousands—and they even ventured to say it was brought to their o'lice by private express, of which not one word Was true, It had been expected that those immortals, Harn- den & Co., would have run an Express to meet the steamer which left New Haven yesterday at noon, and reached here at 6 o’clock in the afternoon But not an item of the news—not even by the mails—was received in this city yesterday, other than that brought by our private and exclusive ex press, Our news wae principally taken from Willmer & Smith’s “ European ‘limes,” the senior partner of which, Mr. Willr ,) ienow in this country, where he deservesevery egree of courtesy and attention. We had also Liv -rpool and London papers of the latest dates. This news will be found at great length in to-day’s Herald and Supplement. This is probably the tenth beat which we have given the whole New York press during the present year— enough in all conscience. The news isinteresting. Cotton has again fallen from one-eighth to one-quarter penny—th money market is easy—English stocks are declining — American stocks are firm and looking up—O’Con- nell has not yet been sentenced, but he expects it for vertaiu—and the English newspapers, so far as Wwe can perceive, ure favorable to the annexation of Texus to the United States. Tue First Great Cray Katirication Mertina in New Yorn.—The first Clay or whig mass meet- ing, to ratify the acts of the Baltimore Convention, was held yesterday afternoon inthe Park, but we were entirely disappointed in their numbers, en thusiasm, eloquence and orators. This meeting did not number many more than attended the Texas meeting on Saturday, although they were by far more decent, well dressed and re- spectable. From 4 to 6 o’clock there were vary- ing from two to four thousand persons present, in- cluding Mike Walsh and a few butenders, who tried to make faces. Mr. Fillmore made a speech —ihen there was a pause—thena call for Herace Greeley, who came forward and gave them more fresh greens. In fact, this Park Meeting seemed to be a convocation only of one small segment of the whig party—the Fourier segment. About six o’clock the meeting was suddenly dis- persed by a violent tornado, or thunder gust, wit! Tain in torrents, that rose up from New Jersey and passed over New York. Every one fled for shel- ter under the trees—under porticoes, and even into Tammany Hall. This is a curious coincidence, with a like dispensation of the black heavens which scattered the great meeting in Baltimore. In the evening, the whigs again assembled in dry jaekets at National Hall, and sung a few songs tu cheer them up. It is evident, however, that the politicians, as yet, are the only persons moving in the Presidential canvass. The great mass of the people of both parties are merely looking on They will not stir much till October. Tue Lire Texas Meerie he exaggerated estimate of the numbers who attended the meeting held in the Park on Saturday evening, on the sub- ject of Texas, by a morning contemporary, has fi bounds of decency and exaggr- far Fatih, as to induce us to notice the actual amount who a'tended on the occusion deedent the At no time during the meetiog were there present over 10,000 persons For a meeting of citizens New York, it was « shy, shabby affair, in poiy 0 ‘numbers, and not at all worthy of the noble o! ects in view. Whether from deficiency in the :rrangements—neglect on the part of the getters up of the meeting—or apathy on the part of our citizens, the meeting was a thin one. But it has been urged that the evening (Saturday) was ill adapted for convening the citi- zens of New York, who are on this day, invariably busied ia their various callings; if so, why call to- gether a meeting on such an evening, and on such a subject—the magnitude and importance of which, in the pr sent crisis of affairs, arrest the grave and serious attention of the nations of the Old and New World? The meeting adjourned sine die. When the next meeting is convened, should it turn outsuch an affair as the one of Saturday, as a test of the public feeling of New York on the sub ject of the annexation of Texas, we shall look upon it a¥ a failure. New York Historicat Socirry.—At the stated meeting of this body, to be held this evening, at the Historical Rooms in the University, Dr J Beakley will read a paper on “ The progress of the Caucasian Race in Science and Civilization.” The paper of Mr. Edwards, entitled ‘ Some pas sages inthe Life of Gov. Tompkins,” includ ng extracts from his correspondence, is postponed until the meeting in June. Races.—By referring to the advertisement, it will be seen that there will be a beautiful day’s Sport over the Union Course, L, L., to-day. There being three races at one and two mile heats. For the sweepstakes, mile heats, for 3 year olds, there are fournominations, And three entries each for one and two nile heats. The first race to come off at 1 o'clock. Lavnen.—A fine new brig, called the Frances, to be commanded by Captain Powers, and intended for the Gulf of Mexico trade, will be launched from the ship yard of Smith & Dimon, foot of Fourth street, at half past 12 o'clock to-day. Canat Commissionens.—The ate of this State has passed a law to reduce the number of Ga- nal Commissioners, and provide for their election by the poopie. The act provides that four Canal Commissioners shall be chosen at the next annual election, in the same manner asthe Governor and Lieutenant Governor ure now chosen—the term of office to be four years—two to heelected every two yeara—and the two of those first son Whose terms shall.expire in two years from. their tiem, to be desiguatedby,the commissioners. there was a general understanding that his election te the Presidency was to be only for a single term. We are gratified to per- ceive now that during the recent Whig Con- vention at Baltimore, the whigs assembled from all parts of the country, with great good sense and unanimity, have adopted distinctly and bold'y the single term principle, so that they go into the field determined to do the best they can for Mr. Clay, for one term only. The effect of such a seif-sacri- ficing, liberal and enlightened principle will, no doubt, help the whig cause very much amongst all considerate and reflecting men, and it is probable that the practical abandonment of this principle by the democratic party, or that portion of it at least which affects to be favorable to Mr. Van Buren, has been one great cause of the dissensions which now threaten their very existence. When the whigs come forward with such a distinguished can- didate as Mr. Clay, and announce their solemn adherence to the one term principle, it is very naturally asked—why should Mr. Van Buren, who has already occupied the Presidential chair, and who has been defeated on presenting himself asa candidate the second time, now make another at- tempt and invite another trial of strength ? or, why should John Tyler, it is also asked, who has also had his single term by a fortunate concurrence of events, press for any re-nomination from any quar. ter, in the face of the impulses of the American people to restrict the tenure of the presidency to one term? ‘The conviction of the necessity for confining the term of the Presidency to one term, has obvious- ly been forced upon men’s minds by the multitude of candidates, and partienlarly from the belief that a purer administration of the government could be secured by removing all motives to the intrigue—the corruption—the chicanery—the abuse of patronage and power, by setting entirely aside all hopes of re-election. And allthis is the sound and sober results of experience. Look at the terrible defal- cations—the gross delinquencies—the astounding corruption, which were presented in all their enor- mity on the close of Mr. Van Buren’s first term, and which all owed their existence to the efforts made by the office. holders and their adherents, to force Mr. Van Buren upon the country and the de- mocracy, a second time in 1840. Look at the ri- diculous efforts and the very questionable acts which have been recently developed in connection with Mr. Tyler for the same purpose in this and other cities—to create a party in opposition to the great impulses of the people, which are taking an ltogether diffrent direction. From this r pid and comprehensive view of the novements of the people of this country in rela- tion to the propriety and prudence of adherence to the single term principle, it will be perceived that the democratic party about to meet in Convention at Baltimore, will have the most substantial rea- sons to set aside the claims of Mr. Van Buren and Mr. Tyler, without even a word of apology. The distinct and decided annunciation of the adoption by the whigs of the one term principle, forces itself lise a flash of lightning upon the democratic par- ty. We willsee on the meeting of that Conven- tion on the 27th of this month, whether the dele gates from the people appreciate their position and the feeling of the country by the adoption of this wrinciple, which the whig party are bringing to ragainstthem in the ensuing election RsIon TO THE Rocky Mounrains.—We un- ferstand that Sir William Drummond Stewart, the celebrated traveller, has just returned from another »xcursion to the distant regions of the Rocky Moun- tains. He is now in this city on his way to Europe. Vuring the recent excursion, he has been traversing both sides of the Rocky Mountains for a period ot nearly two years. He carried with hima large par- ty, amongst whom were botanists, naturalists and artists—some from Germany, and some Scotch and English. He has made a very large and valuable llection of botanical! productions, part of which he shipped down the Columbia River for England vy the way of Cape Horn, anda pavt he has brought here to carry with himself to Europe, First and last, Sie William has spent about ten years round about the Rocky Mountains, traver- sing those wild regions which le in the neighbor hood of the branches of the Missouri and Colum hia Rivers, and encountering innumerable hair breadth escapes from the Indians. Perhaps no in- dividual of t es 80 much per- sonal knowledge of these regions as Sir William, sod if he would give a narrative of his adventures, it would outstrip in romantic interest any thing yet given. Sir William is now on his way to Scotland to his paternal residence, Murthly Castle, in Perth. shire. » present age posse Biocx Printing 1x Ort.

The first re- yresents the reception of the celebrated BritishMis- sionary, the Rev. J.

The subject is ove of sublime and dréadful interest, and the treatment of it worthy te com- memorate the momentous occurrence it represents, and the inspection cannot but create the most in- tense feelings in the minds of the supporters of the missionary cause. To the artist they must be of an equal though somewhat diflerent interest, us they evidence to him the dawn of a new era in the fine arts, and will be found well worthy of his inspection and stud,. They convey, with all the vividness of an oil painting of a first-rate artist, the gorgeous drapery of luxuriant foliage, varied by every tintof those meridian latitudes,the bright blue waters, and other scenery of those regions—at the same time they possess all the beauties of the mos; highly finished engraving. We believe they are the only specimens of the art in the United States, A printed description of the incidents accompany the pictures, and may be perused by any one desirons of viewing them Commodore Stewart's Position. Hovse or Rerresenratives, Apni 29th, 1844. * You, in common with other distinguished citizens of our country, have been spoken of asa candidate for the olliee of President of the United tes. An intelligent people, exercising'the right of se- lecting their own chief magistrate, are entitled to know the opinions of those whom they select as their candidates, upon the leading questions that agitate the public mind, ‘The question of the annexation of Texas to this Union, trom the necessity of immediate action up- on it, 1s the most prominent and interesting measure now before the people. Being a delegate to the Baltimore Convention, which will as rle on the 27th May next, for the purpose of selecting a candidate for the office of President of the United States, I am very anxious, in common with many other delegates, to ascertain your opinions on this absorbing and all-important question. | abe lintentionally abstain from the expression of my own opinion, and also from making any suggestion as to the efleet which a decision for or against the theasure may bave on the popular mind or action. 1 submit the single question, and respeet{ully ask such an answer as your judgment and reflection may dictate, with the desire, if it be agreeable to you, to make your views on this subject public. With high respect, Your obedien: servant, J. Tuompson. Commodore CHances Srewarr, Bordentown, New Jersey. Hiv or Hearru, Near Bordentown, N. J. Muy 2, 1844 Sm: Ihave, had the honor to receive your letter of the 29th of last month, intumating that I have “been spoken of as a candidate for the office ot President of the United States; remarking, ulso, that ‘an intelligent people, exercising the right of selecting their own chief magistrate, are en'itied to know the opinions of those whom they may select as their candidates, upon the leading qhestions that agitate the public mind ;” and conclacing with ask- amine on “the question of the annexation of Texas to this Union,” as one which, “irom the ne cessity of immediat® sction upon it, is the most prominent and interesting measure now before the reels, And you also add, that “ being a delegate tothe Baltimore convention, which assembles on the 27th of May, it will be your desire to make my views on this subject public.” Tam ioftrubdiy senathte of your good and patri- views in making this inquiry, under existing reumstances, and shall proceed to reply, in all hess and sincerity, to your inquiry, 1 assume that there exists no constitutional ob- jection to Texas being incorporated with our Union That question seems to be set at rest since our ac aula cieR of Lonisiana and Florida, and the abun- dant, and, as I have supposed, satisfactory discus sion of it, to which all have access. 1 will at least venture to say that they have satisfied my mind. Passing, then, to the general question, the reasons are So numerous, cogent, powerful, and urgent,both on the score of policy and hamanity, for making ‘Texas part of the Union, and have so strong a bear ot ing upon our national! industry, revenues, prosperity, and power, that I have not fee able to refuse the assent of my judgment to them, Thave considered, on the other hand, the views alleged against the measure; and, greatly as the sources whence they emanate are entitled to, aid have my respect, they have not proved, on th: calmest reflection, sufficient with me to outweig! the strong reasons that exist in its favor, That ¢ step of so much magnitude, present and future, should meet with opposition in the first instance, is to be expected This was the case when we acquil ed Louisiana and Florida, the objections to whicl are now forgotton in the unspeakable advantage> flowing from it, and to flow throughout ages to come Such, it appears to me, would decidedly attend the annexation of Texas. Millions unborn, and age~ in the future, may be expected to reap the advan tages of its incorporation with our Union long afte: the objections of the day are forgotten. This important acquisition, which can new be obtained with honor and advantage to all parties in- terested, bringing with it the consent and affections of its inhabitants, will, perhaps, when tuture neces- ayy makes its apn ee imperative, be acquired only through desolating war, sanguinary contests, and the loas of those affections of the Texan inhab- itants so essential to happiness in a united and re- publican people. But I would not be for gaining those advantages, however transcendent and lasting I believe they would be for our country, at the ex- pense of justice, The mnia question, therefore, is, would “ annex- ation” give Mexico just ground of complaint I—for of course, no other foreign country has anything to do with the question. Now, | have not been able to bring my mind to the conclusion that it gives Mexico any just cause of complaint whatever. It is almost eight years since Texas won her indepen. dence at the decisive battle of San Jacinto. No serious invasion of her soil, or other efforts or im portant movements in arms, have been made by Mexico against her since that decisive victory. it was, in fact, the consummation of Texan inde- pendence, and has produced throughout the worl: the unavoidable effect of an event so decisive. The most powerful states of Europe have fully recognis- ed the independence of Texas—not suddenly, it i: necessary to bear in mind, but after letting time enough elapse fairly to attest that the overwhelming victory of San Jacinto was decisive. Those states uever would have recognised her independence so long as they supposed there existed any probability of Mexico being able again to reduce Texas to sub- mission by force of arms. It has, indeed, been & principle with the United States, when civil wa: existed in conntries, to treat each party alike, a> soon asthe power of waging war de facto existed with each, But this has not been the practice o/ the great powers ot Lurope. They act on different principles, to which their institutions mor- natu rally incline them. They are slow to sanction re. sistance, in any shape, to existing authority in government. They were very tardy, as all may remember, in acknowledging the idrpendence the revolted colonies of > pant h America, including Mexico among them. Nevertheless most of thos: me ent kingd ms and Stares have adopted Texas ino the family et nations by their most solenm acts of recognition, Which mean with them a grea! deal more than the mere tormal acknowledgamen! of a de facto government existing in Texas, and liable, at any moment, to be again overthrown ; and which facts may, therefore, well make us fee) easy as to their opinion of ann-xwion The capture ot Lord Cornwallis did not more «f- fectually establish independence tor us by force «1 arms, (not as much so, perhaps, «ll circumstance considered,) as the total overth,ow of tre M torcesat SanJacinto,and simaltaneous eapt aead of tt Mesican nation, established independ ‘nce for Texas, Great Britain acknowledged ours iinmediately after the form or event, aa ancient, sroud, and powerful monarchy as she w: «i Mexico keeps up the idle show of stl being the pirent state over Texas, now nearly eight year: after the utter extioction of all her powers of supre- , Which so decidediy perished on the plains of San Jacinto. rhe 7 Tt may be asked, is this right? Can it stand be- fore the dispassionat» judgment of nations? and is itreasonable towards the United States? It can net be forgotten how fons and justly Mexico comp'ained of Spain's refusal to reeogaise her indep-ndence after se had actually won it by force or arms. And here it may be mentioned, that the fact of Spain havieg refused to recog. nise it long subsequent to the year 1825, formed to objection with our govecoment for offerina te purchase Texas trom Mexico in that year. This last fact, of itself, may serve to show that other na tions are not bound to wait until the parent State gives her formal consent, unreasonably prolonged, to the independence of the resisting colony His tory contradicts thatidea, If it were trae, Holland would have had to wait seventy years before she became an independent nation; for we have lately been reminded, from a distinguished source, that 11 was full that length of tune before Spain—against whom she had rev i—wonlt acknowledge her independence. Thope T may be exensed for adding —for Leonsider it as belonging to the subject of this letter, and due to the true spirit of this whole oceasion—that there are not wanting opinions, carefully formed, which go to say, that if Mexic: should, at this late day, recommence war in earnest against Texas, instead of keeping up, in the latter power, the irritation and inconvemence of only talking about it for eight years nearly, the chances would be full as great, or even greater, that she would be conquered hersell, as that she would ever re-subjugate that gallant and independent people. Notwithstandiag the conviction of my judgment that Mexico could not have the Jeast ground of complaint against us, in justice or reason, for im mediate annexation, shonld we adopt that measure, T think it would become the magnanimity of thir great republic to parste towards her as generou and liberal a course as possible, If, therefore, any subsequent steps of the most conciliatory nature, for soothing her feeling, may be open to us, | would be for adopting them to the very verge of not yielding up our rights, interests, or honor. Ifanything beyond this be expected ot demanded of ne, Gwhich | will not anticipate,) or if any ill-congequences should threaten us, (which, however, { ehould not much fear,) when the whole case came to be caluily and¢ onately viewed, ifter annexation was a thing accomplished on our part, we would ovly do as our fathers did—throw ourselves upon the jastice of our cause before God ind nations, and abide all result Having thus given you my opinions and views of this all-absorbing question, under your call for them, { have only, in conclusion, to add that you are at liberty to publish them, should you think them worthy of it I regard the policy and wisdom of immediate an- fexation as the more obvious, from recollecting that oppareunttes once lost are not always to be re- gained in national affairs, any more than in those of individuals, With all deference to those who hold opinions differe::t trom those I have formed, and have here expressed, I have the honor to remain, with the most respectful consideration, your most obedient and very humble servant, Cuarces Stewart.

I write this just as the Senate is adjourning; they have been in Committee of the Whole a:most the whole time since nine this morning, on a bill allowing the expenditure of $150,000 per annum, under the special plea of keeping the public works in order. ‘The bill is viewed by al! sane men as a repeal of the policy of °42. The passage of this billand the certiorari bill will most certainly lead to disastrous results. The whigs (Hall in the House, and Rhodes in the Senate) have congratulated the conservatives, who claim a democratic majority, ow having come up to the Seward and Ruggles’ standard. The locos here ure in a devil of a stew just now; the Committee on the address and reso- iutions will bring forth their joint labors—I beg their pardon, not their labors—but such an address and resolutions as all the conservatives here can agree upon and think the radicals will swallow. Look for squalls bere on Monday evening. (Where is the Herald’s reporter; I have a place selected forhim).

There were two races well contested, on which large sums changed hands. The first that came off was a_trotung match, under saddle, for a purse of $75, mile heats, the best three in five to win. Spicer’s b. ¢ Tip; Me Laughlin’s br. m. Lady Tompkins, and H. Woodrufl’s br. g. George Washington started for the prize. Three heats declared the winner. Lady Tompkins beat them all easily. ‘Tip showed uimselt a good horse, but broke trot in every heat, as wellas “George Washington ? Tie Lady showed far the best training, a very important point in trotting races, and but for this, the Lady would have been hurd plied. She seemed the tavorite, and was freely backed at 2 to 1, and even greater odds were offered at the conclusion of the ast heat. For the second prize, $200, mule heats, in wagons, two horses started:—Voorhees’ br. Cayuga Chief, and Woodruff’s mare, Fairy Queen, The firet start was beautitul—for the firs valf round it was neck and neck.

Notwithstanding the unfavorable advices from this country, we see by the quotations that prices did not give way. A report lately made by,the committee on commerce in the House of Representatives in relation to the drawback on foreign merchandise exported from this country, other- wide than by sea, is of the most vi'al importance to the country. The rapid communication from our seaboerd, with the interior of Canada and the many modes of trans. porting merchandise at trifling charges, will, we hope hove sufficient weight with the national legislators to re move the obstructions now in theway of this zource of pro. fit to the commercial classes. The act of March 2d, 1799, provides that a drawback of duties should be allowed and paid on all merchandise imported into the United Stal that shall be exported to any foreign state immediately sd juining to the states, Another section of this act provides that no drawback shall be allowed except on merchen. dise exported by sea and in vessels not less than thirty ton® burthen. This cuts off all drawbacks on foreign merchan” lise exported from the United Stetes by the lekes, or wross our lines. Our internal improvements are increas- ng so rapidly, and or connection with the Canadas hes, within a few years past, become so intimate, that foreign nerchandise could be imported into the Canadas through this state more profitably than in any other way, li a merchant of Montreal or Quebce imports merchandize of a foreign maoufacture through New York, double du ties have to,be paid, unless they pass round to those cilies
