May 14, se. The Next Steamer from Europe. Highly Important News Expected. O'Connell tn Prison and the Corn Exchange in Tears! The steamer “Britannia,” Captain Hewett, sailed from Liverpool on the 4th inst., and may very rea- sonably be expected here on Saturday, this week, or on Monday of next week. It is probable, how- ever, that according to immemorial custom or ac- cident, the steamer will arrive on Sunday at Bos- ton ; and if so, we shall be prepured again to run an extraordinary overland Express, exclusively for the office of the New York Herald, and for the express purpose of giving the whole country, south and west, the important news that may come by this steamer, one day in advance of the mails, and one day im advance of the entire news. paper press of this city. We give all our co- temporaries here fair warning, and we dare the whole of them, united, to enter into the field against us in this approaching arrival. If we do not beat them as usual, why then we shall consent to eat up the whole Tyler party of the Union, at one mouthful, and swallow it from shoulders to tail at one gulp. The news expected by the ‘ Britannia” wall be very important. We may have the result of the application made by Daniel O'Connell and his coe conspirators for anew trial, And itis highly probable that this application will meet with a denial, and that the Court has immediately proceeded to pass sen- tence on that distinguished man, including all the “rent” in his pocket. It is thus very probable that he is in prison by this time, and if so, we shall publish the first account of his incarceration, with all the particulars of the tremendous excitement in Dublin and throughout Ireland, and the state of the question of political reform in England. In deep and ardent sympathy for the people of Ireland, we yield to none. No one regards with more sincere and unaffected regret, than we, the distresses, the oppressions, the privations, the ter- rible erinding under the hoof of tyranny, under which the brave, chivatric, warm-hearted natives of that lovely island suffer. But to the same extent that we sympathize with the Irish people in their sufferings—te that extent do we entertain an uncontrollable and unutterable contempt for the duplicity of that Dan O'Connell, whose whole object, for the last quarter of a century, has been, by plundering these poor people, to make a living out of them, that he couldn’t get to the same extent out of his profession as a lawyer, or his exertionsas a politician. By the‘ falsehoods—by the deceptive promises—by the perplexing agitation of that wholesale calumniator, thousands and thousands of the people have been prevented from leaving that impoverished and unhappy land, to seek in this free country, the reward which sobrie- ty, virtue and industry, are sure to bestow on the good citizens of all climes, who conduct them: selves in a right spirit. Every day—every week— every month only adds to the burden of the oppres- sions and sufferings which weight the Irish people to the earth; and, probably, no man has been instrumental in inflicting so much evil, and so much distress on his country, as this O'Connell, who, whilst plundering the poor people of their few pennies, has been sedulously endeavoring, un- der the hypocritical garb of patriotism, to rivet still more closely the chains of the oppressive mc« narchial government of Great Britain and Ireland. A monarchist—a Jesuit of the first water—a rape- cious tyrant when in power, and a miserable, drivelling creature when out of power, ©’Connell has been one of the worst curses inflicted on ure happy Ireland. We haveseen enough of the spirit and working of O’Connellism, in New York and throaghcut thie country, to make the American people take care that its further introduction be effectually stayed. For the chivalric, generous, virtuous, imaginative, and industrious Irish people, we cherish the most profound respect and the most cordial esteem. We shall always Support them in the enjoyment of their constitutional rights and liberties, We shall always aid them to the fullest extent of our power, in the maintenance of their rightful privileges. But to- wards all those who deceive them—whether it be O’Connell, Bishop Hughes, or the little begger- man, John M’Keon, or any others who lead them into error, we shall wage a war of extermination. We never shall desist till we see the Irish peo- ple free—free to act out their own noble and ge- nerous impules as good American citizens, under our glorious constitution. It will be seen, therefore, that the news expected by this steamer is of the highest importance, and every one may accordingly look out for its earliest publication at this office. News rrom Evrore.—It is fair for every editor to give credit to whom credit is due. We notice that the Charleston Patriot, and one or two other papers at the South, copy the last news brought by the Hibernia, and give cregit to the Sun. This is very unfair. The Patriot Ae ,states that an exprese was run by a broker. This os a mistake. The only express sent from Boston to New York, on the arrival of the Hibernia, was run exclhsively by us, at an expense of $500; we published the news exclusively here, and sent extras throughout the country, ahead of every one. If these extras cid not reach the different cities in advance of all others, it was the fault of Postmaster Wickliffe, and not ours This fact we wish to impress upon every editor. We should suppose, by this time, that such pa- pers as the Patriot ought to know to whom they are constantly indebted for news. We spend money enough and take pains the most unwearied to dispatch the latest intelligence, and if editors, in return, cannot give preper credit for our industry and enterprize—all we can do, is to stop sending to them. MIsmMANAGEMENT IN THE Post Orrice.—No post office was ever managed as ours is and has been under Wickliffe. We daily hear of complaints and daily suffer from the utter negligence of some of those in the department. This morning we re- ceived letters from Washington that ought to have been here last Friday night. We suppose that we shall be compelled to put up with such negligence till the present Postmaster General goes out of power. To get rid of him would be a perfect deo- dand, and we really hope that the President will either kick him out or send him as consul to some out of the way island, where he can do no harm to his fellow creatures. Tue Five Arts.—The taste for the fine arts is very rapidly increasing in this city, and the desire to possess good pictures is becoming more and nore general amongst the wealthy classes, At pre- sent we have a variety of attractive exhibitions he National Acagemy attracts crowds of visicors, especially in the evenings when the rooms are thronged with beauty and fashion. At Clinton Hall, the fine gallery of old paintings by the best masters of the Italian school, has been very well attended. A sale of these very valuable pictures takes place on the 22d inst., which will undoubted- ly attract the attention of connoisseurs. We perceive also, from an advertisement in our columns to-day, that another gallery of paintings has been opened at the Granite Buildings, corner of Broadway and Chambers street. This contains a remarkably choice collection, some of them of great value. Puentx Horse Bazaan.—This Bazaar situated at Nos, 189 and 191 Mercer next to Bleecker street, 18 at all times well supplied with horses, carriages and saddiery, and will be found well worth a look sa, to such gentlemen as want to supply themselves with any articles in the line of the proprietor. ‘The advertisement which appears in another part of our columns, presents strong inducements for a visit to this Bazaar, EW YORK HERALD. ‘The Amende Honorabl (From tho Tribune.) Tae Hera, ny Etssier.—We have hasten to correct it, even thous! James Gerdon Bennett. We published as true Mr. jone injustice, and we Mr. Bennett, by the publication (perfectly justifia- ble, under the circumstances, of a series of private letters to himself from Wikoff, while acting as Elssler’s secretary or agent, has shown that the ab- surd pats, anecdotes, defences, &c., of the dancer, which were so conspicuously inserted in the Herald, throughout her stay in this hemisphere, were con- stantly and urgently solictted by herself and her aia oeet that every possible means was used to induce him (Benneit) to write more, and often- er, and lay it on thicker, in exaltation oj the dan- cing courtesan. After reading all that has thus far appeared on both sides, we are very decidedly of opinion that the presents of Mile. Elsslerto Bennett were but the well-earned and not at all exorbitant reward of services petitioned for and faithfully ren dered, and that there was nothing improper in his receiving them. The propriety of his devoting his Journal to such a purpose, is of course an entirely different matter, which does not here come under review. As between Bennett and Elssler, there can be no doubt that he richly earned all she paid him, and that, while it would have been very base in her to have left his services unrequited, it was not at all improper in him to accept her acknow- ledgements. We do noi doubt that she went back to Europe $10,000 richer than if the Herald had never named her. Why, then, should she not pay for its aid? There isa false notion prevalent of the nghts and duties of the press, in this respect, which ought to be promptly corrected. A man presents himself to an editor, having some invention, or project, or wonder, or investment, which he desires to have brought vividly to the notice of the public, and to this end, solicits the editor’s services, general or special, and a liberal or limited use of his columns. 'y success, he expects to secure wealth, or some- thing else desirable. Now the editor owes a pri- mary duty to his readers and the public, which binds him never to deceive nor mislead them in this or any other respect—should he fail in this to their injury, he justly forfeits their confidence, and ought to fose their patronage. But allowing the thing commended is deserving of what he says of it, and by means ot his exertions it is brought int notice and popularity, to the advantage of the public and the pecuniary profit of the projector or proprie- tor, there is no sound reason conceivable why the editor should not _be liberally paid for his exertions in the premises. True, he must be very careful that he 1s not deceived, and that he does not deceive others—there is immiment danger, that the taint of personal interest may affect his judgment and stimulate his zeal—and here is abundant reason why he should be chary of receiving presents or compensation for any services he may render in the way of his profession. It may be well for him, to refuse any such recompense, Sut we are speaking of the obligation of the beneficiary. We presume the virtue of an Editor will rarely be put to any very severe test. His triend the inventor will in- sist on his devoting his time, his efforts, his co- lumns, to that which is calculated to benefit the public so vastly, and one person in particular a lit- Ue, incidentally ; and should he at last fling a few dollars out of thousands to‘his typographic ally, he will vaunt it to the world as a case of extravagant Reeeeny on his part, or of extortion on that of is ally. Mr. Wikott, indeed, coolly declares that Bennett’s articles in favor of Fanny were so extra- vagant, absurd and mawkish that they did her more harm than good, and in the next breath he asserts that they doubtless increased the circulation of the Herald, and so were intrinsically a source of profit! We suspect they brought a dollar into the cofters of the dancer for every copper they won to ths drawer of the publisher. Assuming, then, that his own letters have not been grossly interpo- lated by Bennett, (as we think they could not have been, as the vraisemblance is very marked and never lost,) we must say that Mr. Wikoff cuts a sorry figure in this business. _ And now a word on another branch of this sub- ject. This controversy has let the pubiic a good way into the secret of making a theatrical lion and a theatrical fortune—perhaps of other lions and for- tunes, though we think there can be none other quite so much a matter of gas and machinery as those connected with the drama. Fanny Elasler came here in the Spring of 1841, a woman of thirty- five, with considerable European reputation as a dancer and a courtesan. By a profuse application of theatrical pufl-power, through the Herald and kindred prints, she was at once enthroned the uu- rivalled queen of the ballet, the idol of {a- shion, the divinity of the theatre—yes, “the divine Fanny” was the appellation blasphe- mously current in the circles and the journals most lavish of her praises. Nightly were the largest theatres of our cities crowded successively with the young, the pure, the high-born, as well as the otherwise, to study every at- titude, watch every motion, and applaud to the echo every exertion, of this dancing woman, whose shamelegsness was notorious all over Europe and in this country, and whose relations with her func- tionary Wikoft were acaroely: equivocal. Against this tempest of extravagant adulation we were im- pelled to protest as most pernicious to the public morals—as every way unjust, absurd, and perilous. For what was the moral inevitably impressed on our admiring youth of both sexes, who saw this woman {éted, and flattered, and showered with bouquets, and treated as some superior being, by wives and mothers of spotless fame, ‘who would have spurned from their doors any poor homeless, friendless victim of seduction a3 a polluted out- cast and moral leper? Must not all such be impel- led to conclude that Virtue is a very respectable and necessary humbug, and that Vice consists in sinning shabbily and without the talent or the nerve to puta bold face on the matter? Such was the aspect of the affair which impelled us to protest, in its outset, against the adulation heaped on Fanny Elssler—towards whom personally we bore no ill will, having never seen, nor sought to see her, and sncwing: no more of her than we read from day to day in the journals devoted to her exaltation. For what we said we were grossly assailed ,in various ways, threatened in anonymous letters, &c.,but to no purpose. We think those who have read the controversy of Wikoff and Bennett, will not now be inclined to dissent from our estimate. Remanxs OF joe Herat. Thus far discourseth Mr. Greeley of the Tribune, and so far he speaketh well ¢@ndeavors to repair an injury unwittingly committed, and to take back a statement which he published believing it to be true, but which, on examination and further evi- dence, he has discovered to be utterly false. There is nothing in the above amende honorable which particularly calls for any remarks from us, unless it be the allusion to an imputation which originated with Wikoff himself, namely,that we had interpolated passages in his letters. The Tribune as- sumes from the general character of the letters that | we have not interpolated them grossly. Now,in refer | ence to this, we assure the Tribune that the whole | of the correspondence which we have published, | appears in our columns as strictly according to the original manuscript, as it was possible for printers | and proof-readers to make it. There may be some | typographical errors, but with that exception the printed letters are as exact and literal copies of the original as itis possible for them to be. Accompa- | nying a very few of the letters, indeed, there were a few explanatory remarks introduced editorially | and enclosed in brackets, which by no means al- | tered the sense of the text, or afforded the slightest | possible ground tor the charge of interpolation. | And thismode of giving letterswith explanatorynotes is very well understood by printers and readers of newspapers. The instance in which exception was taken was that in which Wikoff coolly request- ed me to write a card for publication in the name of Mr. Stout the sculptor, and to affix Stout's name to it, Wikoff saying that he would take the responsibility of the action, I did not choose to comply with such an impudent request, for, of course, I justly considered that had I done so, 1 should have been guilty of forgery, and, therefore, I paid no sort of attention to the fellow’s infamous proposal. We assure the editor of the Tribune then and all other editors, that there is not a single word interpolated, and that the whole of these letters are published without diminution or curtail- ment whatever, except the omission of a few un- meaning compliments. And all this we shall prove betore a court of justice and give both Wikoff and his editor, one ‘John Ryan,” an opportunity to see the impudence and folly of their attempt to assail our reputation and our integrity in that re- spect. So much on this point As to the “absurd puffs,” as they are characteri- zed by the Tribune, and the mode of creating thea- trical lions and making theatrical fortunes, we be- lieve such business is not cenfined altogether to theatres, or dancers, or affairs of that description. Nor is the Herald the exclusive paper for manufac- Bannert, H. Wixory ano Fan- the subject be H. Wikofl’s account of the course of the Herald towards Mlle. Elssler, its inducements thereto, and the presents to Bennett which, according to Wi- kofl’s story, were extorted from the dancer by her fears and dread of attacks threugh the Herald. We do not remember that we expressly characterized Bennett’s conduct in the premises as infamous, but we certainly so considered and exhibited it. But which we shall effectually do before we have done made the amende honorable in a very manly and ve- ry frank manner, and we now give an opportunity We allude particularly to the Courter and Enqui- rer, the New York American, the Evening Post, the lous communications appeared. We shall give them a chance to do us justice voluntarily, as the Tribune has done; and if they do not, we again assure them that we shall commence prosecutiont against them and compel them to do us justice before anhonest jury and a competent Court of Justice. ble falaehood of Wikoff, in which the name of Mr. Macready, the actor, was introduced, we expect, and shall call upon Mr. Macready to state publicly whether, in the slight intercourse we had with him in London, in all that ever took place between us, there ever was the slightest manifestation on our part that could give the least possiblé shadow of excuse for this miserable Wikoff to impute to us an attempt to levy black mail on Mr. Macready, or that we wanted to be invited to a dinner at his house—of which we never knew anything—or unless we were invited, we should attack him in the Herald? Mr. Macready—as a man—a gentle man—and an actor, can have no hesitation in coming out and responding to this call to do justice between man and man. To his evidence we a)- peal for the triumphant refutation and withering rebuke of that foul calumny with which his name was associated by the miserable creature Wikoff.

However, we do not wish to offend our cotermporary by these allusions,but make them merely by way of a set-off to what he calls the absurdity of puffing, in which, in a great mea- togive usapure, clean, economical, republican city government, from stem to stern, in every de- partment of its multifarious affairs. ‘To-day at 12 o’clock, the inauguration of the new Common Council takes place.

It is not the greatest of his per- formances, but still 1t bears throughout che impress of the exquisite taste, the educated judgment, and the extraordinary artistical skill of this great tragedian. Mrs. Sloman played the Queen, as she does every part she uncertakes, with great propriety and judgment. Mrs. Hunt’s Ophelia was quite re- spectable, and Mr. Lovel as Laertes, acquitted himself in a very creditable manner.
