NEW YORK HERALD. jow York, Wednesday, May 92, 1844. The Philadelphia Riots—The “Irish” and the “Native” Organs—Enlightened Policy of Mayor Harper and the New Common Council, The violence of the “Irish” and “Native” newspapers has considerably subsided, and they now begin to talk more calmly, and therefore more justly, of the Philadelphia riots and their cavses — The Freeman’s Journal of this city, is still a little snappish, its peevishness being a constitutional com- plaint, but in a long article of Saturday it endea- Yors to apologize fur its previous interference, and very properly admits that its great duty isto quell excitement, and frankly to acknowledge with be- coming conrrition, the share which the Irish had in this terrible outbreak. The Volwnfeer con- tinues to declaim a good deal about the Irish being able and ready to defend themselves, but it also adopts, to some extent, the apologetic tone, and cer tainlv, with a good dealof truth, endeavors to palli- ate the outrages of the Irish party, by reference to the very great provocation which they had receiv- ed The ‘ Native” organs are also exhibitinga more ealm and dispassionate spirit; and on the minds of all we are glad to perceive is gradually settling the conviction, which we have all along endea- vored to enforce, and which no unprejudiced and impartial observer could refuse to admit, that both porties—both the ‘ Natives” and the “Irish”—are alike guilty ia the sight of heaven and all men, in originating the fearful outrages which have so dis- @raced the city of Philadelphia, and our common country. The causes of the sad state of things which has had such fearful development in these riots, cannot be too often stated, nor the necessary in- ferences ‘from them too frequently or too forci- bly presented. The grand cause of all this diseased and distempered state of feeling amongst the different classes of the citizens of this country, has undoubtedly been the introduction of religious bigotry, prejudice and fanaticism by violent, designing, or intolerant demagogues, lay and clerical. These men have stirred up the evil pas- sions of opposing sects, and produced the same state of excited and bitter feeling which has tor so long a period made the “ green isle” red with the bluod of contending religious factions. Can any one who ealls to his recollection the fierce and unchriatian tirades—the vehement harangues—the cutting in- vective—the exciting appeals to prejudice and passion—which have disgraced the pulpit and the platform for several years, be astonished at the results which such incendiary feelings have now produced? Al! along we have predicted that eventually the violent declamations, the controver- sial lectures, and addresses and pamphlets of Cutho- lic and Protestant bigots, would bring forth such bitter fruits Ail such conduct, we need not say, has been in open and direct violation of the spirit of our glorious Constitution, whose recognition in the broadest and fullest sense of the great principle ol religious freedom and liberty of conscience, alone demand for it the highest admiration and re- spect of mankind. And the time is coming—nay, it has already come, when the grogs and flagrant violation of this great principle of the Constitution will be visited with the prompt and crushing indig- nation of every true American citizen, and every just and enlightened mind. In investigating the causes of these outbreaks, it is impossible to overlook the mischievous agency of that imported spirit of malignity, agitation, and civil discord, which is so well described by its ap- propriate designation—O’Connellism. Selfish, un- principled, and designing politicians, of both the prominent parties of the day, in order to conciliate the Irish citizeus, have, on this’side of the Atlantic, been playing the same game of deception and agi- tation by which O’Connell has for the last twenty years embroiled and distracted unhappy Ireland This it was—this organization of the Irish as a class—this constant reference to their numerical! and physical force, and the sectional uses to which they could and should apply it—which alarmed, excited, and finally stimulated into opposing dis- tinct organization, large masses of citizens of other denominations—an organization as inimical to the genius of our institutions as that which it was o:- tensibly intended to subdue, and for whose sup- pression other and constitutional means had been provided, and which there was no fear that the good sense and intelligence of the American peo- ple would fail to employ. This practical good sense and intelligence, we now see, begin to operate. The violent, proscrip- tive, and intolerant declarations of the ‘ Nauve Americans” are no longer poured forth in this city The true, tenable, and just ground of the party is now discerned and occupied by its intelligent and inflaential members. And the excellent message of Mayor Harper assumes this ground and no other. The achievement of city reform—a just and rizhte- ous administration of the laws—fidelity in all re- spects to the Constitution—these are the great principles on which the new Common Council de- clare they intend to act. And this is precisely the ground on which we have, from the first, endea- vorei to place the party. We have all along re buked the ebullitions of intolerant and bigotted religious feeling, and anti-American proscriptive declarations, on the part of the ultra leaders and orators of all parties. The justice end propriety of our course has now received the best possible con- firmation in the message of the Mayor, and the kindred declarations of the members of the Common Council, who represent the practical good sense and intelligence of the American Republican party. As exemplifying the liberal spirit which will ani- mate Mayor Harper in the discharge ot the duties of the responsible and honorable office to which he hasbeen selected by the suffrages of such an immense number of his fellow citizens, we may mention an interesting incident which recently came to our knowledge. It seems that amongst the numerous employées of Mr. Harper, there is a respectable female of the Catholic faith. Mr. Har- | per had received several anonymous communica- tions calling upon him, asa “native” and « Pro- testant, to discharge this female. But Mr. Harper, who, although a Methodist, and strongly attached to the Protestant religion, isa man of liber. aod Christian charity, not only treated these bigot- e “juppeals with merited contempt, but, as if to me f& emphatically his disapprobation of their spi- rit, lie made the situation of the person whose dis- chi: ehad been solicited, stil] more desirable than it hadi been. We have no fear, then, of the growth of secta- rian or proscriptive feelings here. The Mayor and Common Council have entered on their official du- ties inthe rightspirit—one which must command the respect and esteem of all good citizens of what- ever name, and their example and influence cannot fail to exercise a most beneficial effect in subduing any disposition to array classes of our people in fratricidal hostility. Tur Seconn Great TyLer anp Texas Demon- stration, at the Forrest House last night, was about as magnificent an affair as the first one in the “bloody Sixth” ward. The attendance was better, indeed, probably three score of human beings being present. Mr. Atwood was in the Chair, and “honest Bill Shaler”—a host in himself—was there. Reso- lutions, fall of enthusiasm for “Tyler and Texas’ were passed amid tremendous cheers—delegates were elected—and altogether, the meeting was quite reviving to the faithful. The Tyler men work hard, honest “‘hold-over” works hard—Mr. Atwood works hard—they all work hard—but the plague is in it, Captain Bob has but a slim prospect of “holding the vote of New York in the palm of nie hand.— The people are decidedly for Texas—they are hot for Texas—they are ready to go all lengths for ‘Texas—but “Tyler too”—that they will net, they © nnet be made to sing Tux Bisuor Huawus Conrzoversy.—We give in this morming’s paper, the first portion of the ex- traordinary politico-religious document issued by Bishop Hughes. We have divided it into short chapters, prefixing toeach a short table of contents, in order to facilitate the general reader, and in the manner in Which many ancient and holy epistles, as St. Paul’s to the Corinthians, for example, have been divided and illustrated. This first portion of the Bishop’s epistle does not demand particular notice. Only a few points pre- sent subject-inatter of criticism. The statementre- specting the threatened attack on his life is amus- ing. It is certainly about the first time we have seen an assassin so polite and obliging as to give his real name beforehand to his victim. We think we know the wretch who has threatened the Bi- shop. We have a very strong suspicion that he will turn out to be one of those some what notorious per- sonages, who are well known in our courts of law— John Doe and Richard Roe. The piety, forbear- ance, and love of peac¢ and order expressed by the Bishop, are highly creditable, and no more than what we expected from him, for the Bishop is a man of unquestionable piety—most amiable tem- per and a most devout christian. The little bit of autobiography is extremely in- teresting. But we think the Bishop has fallen into aslight error with respect to his early ancestry.— We fear that he has not studied the family genea- logical tree of the “famous sept of the Hughes” with sufficient care. He says that hie ancestors went from Weles to freland under the command of the famous Strongbow, but we have, after a careful examination of the Welsh authorities on the subject, came to the conclusion that it was not Strongbow, but to the famous Major Longbow that Ireland was indebted for the “sept of the Hughes.” This con- clusion of ours receives very strong confirmation in the subsequent statements of the Bishop, which very clearly evince his possession of a reasonable share of the hereditary talents and virtnes of that chieftain, for the Bishop in many points most deci- dedly “draws a very long bow,” and settles the question of his descent so as to satisfy all reasonable people. The attack on Mrs. Childs has pained us a good deal. Itis very ungallant—very ungentleman!y— very un-priestly, and, we need not add, very un Irish. We do believe itis the first case on re- cord in which an Irishman has-called a Jady “‘silly.”” We doubt whether, after all, the Bishop has got the real Iriah ‘‘stuft” in him. He may have—indeed, he has shown that, as Mrs. Childs in her own charming, naive, and picturesque way, hassaid, he has in him the “stuff that cardinals and bishops are made of ;” but by ourdevotion to the sex, we are ready to maintain against all odds, that he has not got in him that instinctive, ardent, hallowed re- spect and veneration for the fair creatures—our solace in adversity and ornament in prosperity—the wapt of which is no more to be excused in a Bishop, than in any other man of woman born. More of this curious epistle to-morrow. In the meantime, we merely add, that this letter will have a very beneficial effect at this crisis, as it willafford us an opportunity of calmly and deliberately re- viewing the pernicious results of religious bigotry and fanaticism, and of the interference of the priesthood in political affairs. We shail thus be led to enforce still more impressively those lessons of christian charity and forbearance which we have ever endeavored, to the best of our ability, to in- culeate upon all men. And we do not despair of being thus able to contribute in no small degree, to the promotion of harmony amongst all classes of the citizens of this country, and the extermination of the accursed spirit of sectarian jealousy and hate. ‘Tue Texas Question in THE Last CenrurY.— We have received a couple of letters of the cele- brated Alexander Hamilton, the friend and asso- ciate of General Washington in the war of the Re- Ove Last Exrarss rrom osron.—It appears by the returns from the interior, that we were the means of spreading the last foreign news, not only throsaoar tae South, “but throughout the North and Weet, one day in advance of ail the other newspapers, and ef course ahead of the U. 5. Mail. [From Albany Journal, May 20.) Several of the New York papers made arrangements to express the intelligence brought by the Britannia, The express for the Herald reached New York at 11 o'clock on Saturday night, and it is to an extra trom that office that we ure indebied for the foreign new: {From Albany Atlas, May 20.) ‘The steamer Britannia arrived at Boston on Saturday bringing London and Liverpool dates to the 4th inst.

This is the first time that foreign news received at Boston has reached Albany by the way of this city. Owing to the facilities of the Western rail- road, news bas always been run into that city in eight or ten hours. But this time our express was enabled to get ahead, and we have thus secured the entire north by our enterprize. This is cer- tainly a most extraordinary result. That railroad, however, is of the utmost importance to the west and the north, and while under the control of the present gentlemanly President, Directors, and offi- cers, it must continue to be highly popular with the travelling and forwarding classes. Of the seven expresses mentioned in the Albany Atlas, only one, and that one for the New York Herald, reached this city. We rather suspect, however, that only two expresses besides ours started from Boston. Where these two are, we cannot tell. We wish some one would let us know where they are, and where they have been. Tue Cerestia, Packet Suir.—One of the prettiest and most rakish looking packet ships ever built in the civilized world is now to be seen at the foot of Jones’ Lane, on the East River. This ship is called the Houqua, after the great Hong mer- chant, and the best Chinese friend America ever nad. She sails fur China in a few days. We never saw a vessel so perfect in all her parts as is this new celestial packet. She is about six hundred tons in size—as shar as a cutter—as sym- metrical as a yacht—as rakish in her rig as a pi- rate—and as neat in her deck and cabin arrange- ments asa lady’s boudoir. There is a poop deck, under which are her cabins, with six large cham- bers or state rooms adjoining the principal saloon. Abaft of these is a second saloon very neatly fitted op, and is a sort of smoking or retiring room. The main cabin is arranged like those on board our packet ships, and has ample accommodations atthe dinner table fora dozen more passengers than she can carry. Her pantry is superb, and her store rooms and closets are not to be surpassed. We proceed trom these cabins to the deck, which is protected by high man-of-war bulwarks, pierced on each side for eight cannonades. From this we go into the hold, and we here see with what skill and strength the ship is built. She ts con- structed for swift sailing and for great durability; and yet she has more cargo room than one would lution, and his Secretary of the Treasury on the organization of his first administration. These letters, singularly enough, have reference to the annexation of Texas in that day, or what was much the same thing, the annexation of Louisiana, arguing in its favor as a matter of necessity, in or- der to pretect the southern frontier. Their bear- ing on the great questions of the day make these letters very interesting, and we shall publish them to-morrow or next day. They contain the senti- ments of a great man of the last age, and ought to have a great deal of influence on the litt e men of the present. Democratic Movements.—Some of the delegates for the great Democratic Convention at Baltimore, next Monday, have arrived in this city. They have had interviews with leading men of the party here, and the result has been, according to all ac- counts, that Mr. Van Buren 1s the favorite for the nomination. After all the talk at Washington and elsewhere, it is still most probable that Mr. Van Buren will be the only competiter with Mr. Clay. Che Tyler movement may affect the Southern und Western States to such an extent, as to give Mr Clay a better chance. But the present aspect of things is more favorable to Clay than to any other. Time, however, the revealer of secrets, will determine. Great Sale of Paintings by the Old Masters, at Clinton Hall, This Day. One of the most important sales of paintings which has ever occurred in this city takes place this day, at Clinton Hall. The entire collection, from one of the most celebrated galleries in Italy, is to be sold without reserve. This gallery has at- tracted the greatest attention from artists and ama- teurs, and so great is the interest excited by the an- uincement of the sale, that connoisecurs from Philadelphia, Boston, Baltimore, and other distant cities, have come on here to attend it. It contains a large number of undoubted originals of Corregio, Pietro Testa, Domenichin, and other old masters of the Italian school. The sale itself will bea most attractive and interesting scene, and will at- tract a great crowd. It is quite unnecessary now to speak of the importance of this rare opportunity to become possessed of invaluable old paintings. Omnisus Datvingc—A beautiful female child, aged about three years, was run over by one of Palmer's stages in Greenwich lane, near Eleventh street, yesterday evenine, and instantly killed The poor little creature’s head was almost severed from its body, one ef the wheels of the omnibus having passed over its neck. Its parents, poor in- dustrious Irish people, of the name of Seullon, were quite distracted, and the whole scene was of the most heart-rending description. The result of the inquest, which will be held to-day, will discover whether the driver was guilty of carelessness. But we cannot allow the melancholy opportunity to pass without calling, in the most emphatic manner, onthe new Common Council for some immediate reform of this whole omnibus system. The rivalry between the numerous lines of stages has produced so many evils, both as respects the convenience and safety of the public, that some prompt measures must be taken to prevent such frightful accidents, and to ensure greater attenton to the comfort of the public. Thisis by no means a trifling matter, and shall recur to it soon. Mosicat.—We perceive that Ole Bull is creating a great sensation in Boston, having commenced his concerts there. The newspapers there are full of him. A great anxiety to see and hear him in Boston was produced by Mrs. Child’s admirable description of him in the Boston Courier. We shall give this in a few days, as it is one of tife most interesting accounts of the great maestro yet published. The journals at Lowell, Providence, and other cities, are calling on him to give con- certa, and we suppose he will in each of those places. Tue Burning ov St. Avavstine’s Cavrcn.—A young lad named Daniel Witham was brought before the mayor yesterday evening, and put under beil in $2600 suspected of being the boy that set fire to the cur- St. Augustine's Church, the night that ediflee was ‘Saturday suppose she had froma coup dail. She is six feet between decks, and is now filling up with domes- tic goods for the China market. Her fignre head is a bust of Houqua, and her bows are as sharp as the toes ot a pair of Chinese shoes. This ship is commanded ‘by Cuptain N. B. Pal mer. He has long been attached to ships sailing out of this port, and has been Admiral of several o1 our Atlantic packets. Several years ago, he sailed out of a port in Connecticut in a small chipper schooner, and discovered several islands in the South Seas. About that time the Russian Govern- ment fitted out a squadron of discovery which was sent to the same seas. Early one forgy morm- ing the Russians found themselves ne in inhabited islands which the Admiral in command could, not find laid down in any chart. This de. lighted him beyond measure and he wos preparing to land to take possession thereof in the regular way, when the fog lifted and he discovered a clip- per schooner bearing down towards him. The lit- tle clipper run along side the Admiral and her cap- tain, who was no other than the daring Palmer, hailed the Russian this wise—*‘ Ship uhoy! Are ye in want of apilot?” ‘* Devils and marling-spikes !” said the Russian, “‘ Are there pilots here before us?’ He mounted the side of his ship and cred out through his trampet—‘‘ Schooner ahoy! who are you and where are ye from?” ‘Schooner Hero, from Stonington, Conn., on a piloting cruise,” replied Captain Palmer. ‘Do you want a pilot? “ Good God,” exclaimed the Russian, “these Yan- kees are every where! How could that little craft get here?” He made the best of the adventure, however ; invited Captain Palmer on board his ship, and named the newly discovered land ‘ Palmer's Islands ;” and to this day and forever, they have been, and will be known as such. And this same Captain Palmer now commands the Houqua. But of the ship. We advise every one to see her. Brown and Bell, her builders, have reason to feel proud of her, and she will become a pet of the cap- tain. We really hope she will continue asa packer between New York and Canton, for with her and another like ber, we shall become independent of the overland mail to England for news from the East. Horse Power axp Stream Power.—It seems that as the speed of our steam Jocomotives increases, the speed of our horses increases also, and pari passe with each other. Quicker time has never been known than that lately made onseveral of the eastern railroads by steam engines, and on several courses by race horses. And fleet nags have made their appearance on common roads andhave made time not only remarkably quick, but almest equal to the speed of locomotives. Last week a gentle- man from Boston had occasion to travel a short dis- tance from Springfield, Mass., and he obtained from Noyes & Co., of thatplace, a pair ot splendid colts and 4 wagon. With these colts he made thirteen miles in a fraction over forty-one minutes, and came in without scarcely the loss of a bit of wind on the part of the colts. This isto be accounted for in the superior training which horses now re- ceive in this country. Go where you will and you see an improvement in horses, and indeed in all kinds of animals. Breeds have been crossed, and horses, sheep, &c., now reach a high point of per- fection in form, strength, quality of meat, and speed. An Exrrosion ~A soda fountain, belonging to Wm. Watson, Apothecaries’ Hall, 36 Catharine st., burst yesterday, making a most terrific report, causing considerable destruction, and seriously in- juring one of the men who was making it, breaking his arm in two places and lacerating it dreadfully. No blame can be attached to any one except the maker of the fountain; it was a new one and had only been used once befi Deatn or Apyek Kocens, Ju —This extraordi nary man, and State Prison Convict, who killed Mr. Lincoln late Warden of the State Prison, immediately after evening prayers on Friday last, in the Worcester pital, where he was recently sent by the Supreme Court, suddenly sprang and leaped through the window, breaking sash and gins, an: ing some fifteen feet uy jo wan taken up senseless, lived until yester- , When he expired.—Hoston T'ranseript, May Warening Pracks.—The watering places are beginning to brush up and be very active. Belmont Hall at Schoole; @ most desirable summer residence, has been refitted and re-fur- nished in the most elegant manner It oflers many attractions. The distance is fifty miles—by railroad to Morristown, and from thence twenty miles fur- ther by stages, through a most charming country. We see by the Saratoga papers that Union Hall —that ancient and yenerable resort of respectable and quiet people—has opened, after being greatly improved. Its locality, near the Spring, and the excellent manner which it is kept, makes this house a great favorite Fort Hamilton, under that experienced and ac- complished hotel-keeper, Mr. Reed, puts forth im- mense attractions this season. It is a most delight ful location, and the comfort and elegance of the house cannot be surpassed. At Stamford, Connecticut, a very splendid house, the “Union Hotel,” has been opened. [t isan elegant house and the situation iv delightful. A good house was much wanted here. Visuxremrs’ Concert at Patao’s.—The fare- well concert of the great violinist, attracted last evening a very distinguished and numerous audi- ence. The selection was admirable, consisting of his two celebrated concertos, the caprice by Pagani- ni, variations on eira from Norma on ove string, the whole crowned by the mimitable Yankee Duodle. The great merits of all these pieces—the exalted atyle of Vieuxtemps’ playing—the original- ity of his conception, free from all bombastic striy- ing after the bizarre—are fully known and were ax knowledged Jast night with the most uproarious aj - plause. Mr, Vieuxtemps’ arrival in this country was one of the greatest events in the musical world of this country, and the rare treats afforded by him will never be forgotten. His carriére on the whole of this continent was a succession of iriumphs, which must well his heart with pride, although he was pretty weil accustomed to them in Europe, where bis return is looked for with great impa- tience. Through his amiable behavior he has here Uneurrent Money.

Sxrrovs Rarmroap Accipents.—We learned by yesterday’s Eastern inail of two serious disasters on rail roads. It is a pity that some plan cannot be devised by which these accidents can be avoided. [Krom the Boston Transcript, May 20.) The 11 o’clock train from this city, fur Dover, on the Lowell Road, ran off the track, at half past 11, this morn- ing, when near the watering place at Woburn, caused by a broken bolt in the rail, near the switch.
