NEW YORK HERALD. New York, Saturday, June 1, 1844. ee State of the Country—Recent Events—-Fu- ture Prospects. This lovely and happy republic never had such a prospect before her as she has now, ot a long period of prosperity, power, happiness, growing wealth, increasing population, improving morals, and general civilization. The recent political events in Baltimore have almost settled the question of the next Presidency Mr. Clay will probably be elected in the autumn by a most overwhelming majority, and, it 13 highly proba- ble,judging from the moderation of his recent avow- als, and the like tone in Mr. Webster’sspeeches, that he will pursue no ultra measure at variance with the practical good sense of the whole country. Hitherto the Democratic party, more practical than the Whigs on certain points of financial policy, have presented aformidable opposition to the wishes and measures of Mr. Clay; but that party, by throwing overboard Mr. Van Buren, and its recent nomination of Polk & Co., and its bitterness of feeling, caused by the Tyler-Calhoun movements on Texas, have lost the power of cohesion and the principle of enthusiasm. There are, indeed, four presidential candidates in the field,—Polk, Tyler, Bimey, and Joe Smith,—but the number and con- fusien only ensure the certainty of Mr. Clay’s suc- cess. Such being our calm view of the recent move- ments and present position of affairs, we have strong reasons now to believe that the Tyler ‘Texas Annexation Treaty wil! not Bishop Hughes’ Second Letter—Worse and ‘Worse. We published yesterday in an extra, and give to our readers tn this morning's paper, a second let- ter from the Right Rev. Bishop Hughes, in which he attempts a rejoinder to our provokingly calm and complete reply to bis first epistle on the Phila- delphia riots, and their causes. This second letter furnishes the most melancholy evidence of the Bishop’s imbecility, and exhibits so clearly the great want of sober judgment, of calm reflection, of vigorous thought, of necessary self control on the part of this prelate, that really we begin to re- gard much more charitably his sad conduct at Cur- roll Hall, and mingle pity with our indignation, in viewing the improper conduct of a man so poorly qualified to manage, preserve, or defend himself. What does the Bishop do? Does he attempt any vindication of his conduct in organizing his flock into a political party? Not at all. Instead ot taking that calm and dignitied position which woula have commanded respect and attention, even from those most violently opposed to him, the Bi- shop follows in the wake of the highly respectable footsteps of Wikoff, an attaché of Fanny Elssler, and pours forth torrents of abuse against James Gordon Bennett—calls all sorts of hard names— descends to all sorts of low and vulgar witticisms, and squirts all sorts of venom and filth around him. Now, we are very well aware that there was much in our reply to the first letier, to provoke the Bishop. There was a great deal to occasion smarting and uneasiness.— But the Bishop ought to have kept his temper. He should have kept cool, and preserved himself from falling into such an undignified position as that only be defeated in every shape which it can assume before the present Congress, but that the Van Buren democrats (smarting under disap pointment,) and the Clay whigs in the House will wnite and impeach the President. This strong movement we think more than probable. The present position and circumstances of the country will not change till Mr. Clay’s accession to power in March, 1845. New measures will then be intro- duced and passed by Congress, provided a majority of whigs are returned. The most interest will be feltin the election of members ot Congress; for on that will depend the success of a new United States Bank of fifty millions—the distribution of the sales of the public lands to the States, in order to enable them to pay their interest—the permanent establishment of the present tariff—the resuscitation of a general system of internal improvements by Congress—and all such measures as have been sha- dowed forth by Mr. Clay and Mr. Webster for years past. Past events and present prospects have accord- ingly a great effect on the existing commercial, manufacturing, and financial movements; and the tendency of the banks and merchants at present is, inflation, over-trading, expansion, and the rise of prices and increase of extravagance, as in 1834, °85, and °36. Mr. Webster, indeed, has given a calm warning, in his famous Trenton speech, tothe banks and the country, on the necessity of pru- dence ; but it is doubtful whether they have sense enough to follow it. We shall see Tytgr Movements —Why don’t the Tyler men move at once,and call a great, grand, multitudinous ratification meeting? No doubt now, with the nomination ot Polk by the democracy, that Tyler could, by holding out his offices in his hands, gain all the leaders of the locofoco faction in this city and throughout the State, and so poll a very re- spectable vote. Let him try this. There is no chance now for the locofoco office seekers in any other quarter, and none at all for the four years after next March. But from this time till the 4th of March they could get a mouthful—they could gorge enough to fill their bellies, and that mighi last them ayear ortwo. Do, Captain Tyler, try this. Mr. Wesster’s Trenton Serecu.—This is the Breatest speech he ever spoke--the most sensible, too. Itought to be hung up in every bank parlor in the Union. It is a speech more addressed to bank directors, than for the elecuon of a President. It is the bankers, Vade Mecum. He advises the banks to discount nothing but ‘* good business paper.” Good—but will not this rule cut himself off entirely from all bank facilities however, that is his business, not ours. Excursions rrom Tuk City.—Perhape there is no city in this broad land, which possesses so many delightful places for recreation as New York Hoboken is one of the most charming spots on this earth. Had it been made expressly to order, it could not have been better. Wood and water— the most picturesque and diversified scenery—the purest of air—an abundant supply of this world’s substantial comforts—every thing which eye, or heart can desire is there. To Yorkville, Nowlans’ celebrated place on Prospect Hill, is another de- lightfal excursion. The noble, panoramic view from the hill is alone worth travelling many miles to see. The Abbey, on the Bloomingdale road, is also a charming place ; and Burnham’s has been from time immemorial a favorite resort. To Hamilton House, at the Narrows, is a most delightful drive on a fine day. You cross over to Brooklyn, and then drive down by the margin of the river, along one of the most picturesque roads inthe Union. When you get to the house, the cwisine is found to be of the most recherche descrip- tion, and the wines of the choicest sort. And, then, the admirable manner in which the whole establishment is conducted by Mr. Reed, leaves nothing to be desired. This will be a very fashion- able drive this season. There is nothing like it in this neighborhood. Ex-Packet Sup Roscor.—Something must have happened to this ship while on her passage from Liverpool. We have seen a letter which came by her, and which was received in this city yesterday morning, from Portsmouth, N. H. It is post- marked at that place, May 30th. The Roscoe, once one of our most popular pack- ets, sailed from Liverpool on the first of April, un- der the command of Capt. Ricker, loaded with a general cargo for New York. She probably got into the ice now crossing the Atlantic, became somewhat disabled, and was compelled to put into Portsmouth to repair. This is all we have heard and supposed about her. Her long passage made those interested in her safety a little anxious, and this will probably give them a clue to her whereabouts. Since the above we have learned that the Ros coe was spoken off Newburyport on the 28th ult. with loss of fore-topmast and topsail yard, and maintop-gallant mast. She had a large number of passengers and intended to touch at Portsmouth. which he now occupies, in common with the person, destitute of character and reputation, to whom we have just alluded. The letter is a miserable jumble of gratuitous as- sertions — violent abuse —silly slanders—extracts from the Bishop’s old speeches and articles—ego- tistical declamation—and irrelevant remarks on religion, the press, public opinion, the omnipotence of truth, and what not—all mixed up together with- out any order, or arrangement, or principle of con- nection, except the very bad temper which charac- terizes the production from beginning to end.— What has all this cld rigmarole about bribery and black mail, and all such nonsense, to do with the question of the Bishop’s share iu origi- nating and fomenting that accursed spirit of religious animosity, which produced such terrible results in Philadelphia? How can the Bishop ex- pect that all this vituperation and abuse, and sple- netic attack will serve him? Alas! the poor man will soon be taught that such a mode of defence is as ineffective as it is undignified and unchristian. We only smile with pitying contempt on such vi- tuperation—such childish reiteration of abusive epithets; although, when we observe the manner in which the Bishop mingles his piety with his abuse—his appeals to vulgar passion with his appeals to the Most High—contempt gives way toa stronger feeling of disapprobation, and we cannot refrain from asking,with whata burst of holy indignation, such conduct on the part of a consecrated digni- tary of the church, would have been visited by the great apostle of the Gentiles, who uttered that memorable exclamation against the High Priest of the Temple,—‘ God shall smite thee, thou whited wall!” It is not at all necessary for us, in reply to this puerile and weak epistle, to add one word to what we have already said respecting the conduct of the Bishop as a politico-religious agitator. The public mind has long since formed a just, decided, and abiding opinion on that subject. All the petty quibbling—the play upon words and sentences—the special pleading—all the twisting, and turning, and wriggling of the Bishop, avail him nothing. The public have had all the facts before them—they have read the Carroll Hall speech—they have watched the progress and effects of the spirit en- gendered there—they have now had in addition to all this, a full exposition from the Bishop’s own hand, ot his spirit, temper, disposition and capacities of self-government—and the verdict which the pub- lic have pronounced, can never, never be set aside. It stands, and shall stand for ever, a pregnant warning and reproof to all men who would attempt to make religious prejudices and feeling, tributary to any political purpose whatever. But whilst we are thus relieved trom the necessity of saying any thing more in exposure and condemnation of the Bishop’s conduct in Carroll Hall, we could not feel ourselves justified in suffering these letters to pass without a word or two of reproot, in reference to the injurious results which they are calculated to produce, by exciting anew those very elements of civil discord, which the Bishop on that memorable occasion, stirred up with such disastrous effect. Both these letters—and perhaps the second most especially—are calculated to do much mischief amongst the Irish. Instead of pouring oil on the troubled waters—instead of coming forward as a minister of the God of Peace, this Bishop Hughes, even now rushes forth like the fool in the Proverbs, scattering “firebrands, arrows and death,” saying, ‘‘am not I in sport ?’—he emits some ten or twelve columne of violent, abusive, in- flammatory declamation—stirring up the bad passions of an irritable race, and adding fresh fuel to the flames which have been kindled amid an excitable community. low differently have the associates of Bishop Hughes, in the Catholic ministry in this city, de- meaned themselves, as members of the priesthood, and as American citizens! We point, with pride and satisfaction, to the conduct of Dr. Power and Dr. Pise, which has gained for them the respect and esteem of men of all creeds. Their learning, their talents, their rare gifts of eloquence and men- tal superiority—all that they have, they have laid upon the altar of Him they serve. Never have their sacerdotal robes swept the filthy floor of a political hall,—never has the purity of their conse- crated vestments been sullied in defiling contact with the world! With all the zeal, and patience, and diligence, and humility too, of the early fathers of the Christian church, these excellent men have, from year to year, led tneir flocks to the altar of God ;—only in the sanctuary have their voices been raised, never amid the yells and shouts of an ex- cited mob—never have the names of these gentle- men been seen in the public prints, appended to long letters of low, vulgar, filthy abuse—never have their pens been so degradingly employed. When they have written, they have written like gentle- men, like Christians, like ministers of religion. Oh! what a contrast to the course aud conduct of Bishop Hughes! He resembles one of those priests of the middle ages, when the liberties of mankind lay prostrate beneath ecclesiastical despotism. His is the spirit which established the Inquisition, and Tue Great Foor Ka Nothing is talked of now, in the sporting circles, but this race. Should the weather be fine, we shall expect to see as great a crowd as there was at the Union Course when Boston and Fashion run. Bets to any amount can be had that the feat will be accomplished. For names of those that are to run, see advertisement. Surron Currositres.—A meeting of the subcri- bers to these gems will take place this evening, at 7 o’clock, at the Carlton House. Those interested are requested to attend. Packets For Evrors.—The Cambridge, Bar- stow, for Liverpoo! ; Mediator, Chadwick, for Lon- don; and St. Nicholas, Peli, tor Havre, will tsai! thisworning. = Sport Next Weex.—We learn with pleasure that Col. Johnson has consented to run Blue Dick against Fashion, over the Union Course, on Thurs day next—four mile dey. This willbe the greater race that has been runin this country for some time. Where’s Boston ? Accertance.—Captain Tyler has accepted the nomination for the Presidency, conferred on him by the Tyler Convention at Baltimore. lighted up the flames of persecution. His is the arbitrary, vindictive, despotic spirit, which, in those dark days, treated the people like pieces of wood, and impudently maintained that only the Church had a right tothink, But it is too late in the day for such prelates as Bishop Hughes to flourish. It is only such ecclesiastics as Dr. Powers and Dr. Pise, that can secure the good opinion of men, both in and out of their own communion—and so long as the Catholic Church is represented by such men, there is no danger of any outburst of popular clamor against it, onthe part of other denomina- tions. And this remark naturally leads us to offer another, and that is, that in our humble opinion, he Catholics of this city should, by all proper neans endeavor to remove as soon as possible, the hjurious impression made on the public mind by he unjustifiable conduct of Bishop Hughes. He 1as placed them in a false position. He has sepa- ated them from the rest of the community. Many of them are natives of the soil, and all must now eel keenly the evil results of the conduct of the Bishop. Let something then be done in order to remedy the evils produced by his interference with political affairs. Of Bishop Hughes himself,we do not wish to add an remark to what we lation to his conduct. The public understand him and us perfectly well. The public mind 1s made vp, with respect to his conduct. He has already been tolerably well chastised. We have no desire to pour vinegar into tyose wounds under which the vise him. We would offer him some friendly hint for the regulation of his conduct hereafter; for, af ter all, we have in ussome of “the milk of human kindness,” and would show even the poor Bishop, that the vulgar theological proverb correct, and that the Devil is not half as black as he is painted. Well, then, we would say to the Bishop, hereafter reason more and revile leas—in- stead of taking up the low and vulgar weapons of vituperation and calumny, use argument and the words of ‘truth and soberness”—instead of suffering the guidance of the dark passions of the heart, recall your lessons of early piety—study mo- desty, your duty to your God, to your flock, to your fellow-man and to yourself—give up writing for your little newspapers—cast far from you the petty ambition of a demagogue. This is sound, affectionate advice. We hope it will be taken in the spirit in which it is offered. Bishop Hughe® has time enough to reform. He is not too old to reform. He is of middle age. He is not, we trust, altogether beyond the reach of judicious management. He can yet wipe out much of the stigma affixed by his conduct in Carroll Hall. We are quite prepared to pronounce absolution for his errors, but he knows that it is the rule of the church, that a sinner must first repent—let Bishop Hughes then repent, and we shall be the first to say— Son, thy sins are forgiven thee—go in peace !”” We have now done with the Bishop. We have only to bear one word of testimony to his veracity, and one question to ask. The Bishop certainly spoke the truth, the whole truth, and nothing but the truth when he spoke of our circulation of twenty or thirty thousand. Now forthe question —good Bishop, where is the assassin—where is the poignard. Do tell us, what is hisname? Larer From Haytt.—The Pandora, Paxson, from Jeremie, whence she sailed on the 20th inst., touched at Holmes Hole on the 29th. It was reported by Captain Paxson that there are now four parties in Hayti, each desperately seeking the reins of government; that the island was ina complete state of revolution; and that fighting was the only business transacted France had better step in and take Hayti, for hu- manity’s sake. Dreaprur Accrpent at WILLIAMSBURGH—About ten o’clock last evening we received the following shocking intelligence from the office of the Demo- Wiuiamssuren, (L. I.) crat. i Friday evening, May 31, 1844. : _A dreadful calamity has just befallen us in this village. Six children, aged from nine years down- ward, have been instantaneously killed by the fall- ing in of a ne bank of earth in North 2d street, « little above the junction of Second. The poor lit tle innocents had been at play in a hollow, scooped out of the bank, and which had been made deeper by the children themselves, who, as I am informed, were in the habit of digging ‘little ovens” and “little apartments” at the foundation. Seven cliil dren were so amusing themselves when the bunk gave way, with a tremendeus crash, burying them beneath a weight of very many tons of earth. Vi- gorous men with spades were instantly at work, and succeeded in Spey alive the adopted daugh- ter of Mr. Clevenger, ferry-master, numed Ida Wiggins, who is now able to speak, although hor- ribly bruised and deprived of an eye. The other six were stone dead before the men at work reach- ed them. One is the daughter of Mr. Paul, drug- gist, aged 9 years; two are children of Mr. Lewis Jones, carpenter, of Grand street, Harriett and Abigail, aged about 9 and 6 years; and Mary Jones, aged about 18 months; Martha, daughter of Geo. Darlington, aged 4 or 5. I never witnessed more excitement and distress. The sixth is Delia Shenie, aged, I learn, 14 years, daughter of a laboring mau of North 2d street. Summer Hats. Now we have had a taste of the warm weather, it is time for us to prepare for more that is to come. The most comfortable thing a man can wear during the hot season isa light hat, and however we may object to light headed people, there can be no objection whatever to light covering for the head. The best descriptien of this article that we have met with, is at Genin’s, 214 Broadway. He has a most beautiful article, of the gossamer description, weighing from 2§ oz. to 3$ oz., the latter being full § oz. lighter than the finest Leghorn, and are quite free from the objection to which the latter and Panamas, &c. are liable, being unaffected by storms, and retaining their shape equal to beavers, and perspiration and hair cil cannot strike through and soil them. Those who are desirous of a com- fortable light hat, will not omit to call. We have tried, and can recommend them.

Such sport is expected as was never before witnessed in this country. It is to be hoped that more than one steamboat will he en- gaged at each of the Hoboken slips on this occa- sion, particularly at the foot of Barclay street. Itis very annoying to have to wait some half hour for the return of a boat, and then to be squeezed by a boat-full of people, amid vehicles and cattle of every description, a8 is frequently the case when anything particular takes place on the other side of the water. Traian Oprra.—Sig. Rapetti’s benefit came off last evening before a tolerably good house, con- sidering the heat. The selection consisted of the Elizire d’Amore, in which Borghese and Sanquirico exerted themselves to the best effect; several dances by M’lle Desjardins, and Bériot’s seventh air, if we are not mistaken, played by Rapetti. This concert piece has been roccoco for some time, and like an old maid is now getting every year two years older ; it is, notwithstanding, a very pleasing composition, and was given with all the regularity and purity of tone which distinguish R apetti’s per- formances. M’lle Desjardins appeared in the Jaleo de Xeres and a Mazurka, which she introduced under the name of a Polacca. The Jaleo de Xeres is rather a tame imitation of Fanny Elssler’s, and would not have lost by a better accompaniment of the castagnettes. We prefer the Mazurka, which contains some very clever movements, danced in very good style by Desjardins. The en- tertainment begun with Bellini’s overture to Il Pirata, very well played by the orchestra.

Among those who feei the loss most severely, are the following : Miss Ruth Nolton, whe lost probably about $1000--Mr. Nolton, about $800—the mo- ther of Mr. N. about $350; Mr. WJ. Hotchkias, $350 ; Mise Griffin, $100. One of the young iadies who iodged in an upper room came near being destroyed.

The village of Cahokia, a few miles below this | city, on the Illinois shore, is almest entirely inundated. | In addition to the above (says the Louisville Journal) we learn from Captain Page, that at 100’clock on Wednes- day morning (the 22d instant) the water had reached within thirteen inches of the first floor of the old ware. house of the American Fur Company, which isthe most elevated building on the Levee. The Little Rock Gazette of the 15th instant, observes | that the late freshets in Red, Washita, Laine, Arkansas and White rivers, have done immense damage to property along their wholeextent. Along the Arkansas river, the damage done to the crops, and the loss of stock, &c., must amount to from eighty to a hundred thousand dollars. The high water came when the cotton was ag up, and continued until a period too late successfully to plant. The Gazette considers the calamity of sufficient magni- tude to call for legislative attention, and invites the plan- ters and farmers'to make up estimates of the losses in the growing crop, stock, ke.

Nine per cent. was the highest point before reached. There have been shipments of specie already, but not to very great extent. The late large importa tions have created a very extensive demand for bills, par- ticularly on London, while jthe limited shipments of cot ton has reduced the balance of trade so much that there are'very few bills in the market, and very few drawers at any price. Unless cotton goes forward morejrapidly than it has yet, specie must ; and instead of the precious metals making a circuit of this ceuntry, they will make a circuit on the Atlantic by going from New York to Liverpool, from Liverpool to New Orleans, and from New Orleans back to New York.

It will be observed that domestic bills at sight and sixty days on this city have undergone an alteration and improvement. Domestic Bills in this market, on other cities, vary but little from previous rates except those on New Orleans and Mobile, which are now at adiscount. There is very little enquiry at this mo. ment for domestic exchange on any point. The existing condition of the currency is one great cause of the re duced rates, and the limited demand. The currency o1 Ohio is so near that of New York, that merchants from the former State remit their issues of the banks in their vicinity, or bring them to this city to meet their pay ments here. So long as the present equalization exists the domestic exchange business in this city cannot be very profitable.

All dividend paying stocks naturally and invariably ad vance a small per cent. as the interest on them accumu. lates and the dividend day draws near ; but an advance in quotations for such stocks as [Ilinois, Indiana, Pennsylvar nia, Farmers Loan, and Bank of United States, can only be produced by a very eary state of the money market or by the movements of speculators. ‘There has not transpired the slightest thing that would be likely to add one cent to the actual value of these stocks. The delin- quent States are not a jot nearer paying the interest on their debte than they were a ago, and the fictitious value represented by the quotations, cannot extend beyond the limits of Wall street. Nearly the whole capitals of the banks of this city and this vicinity are employed in stock operations ‘They can find no employment for their immense means in the legitimate channels of trade, and are compelled to loan every dollar they have on stocks, to enable them to declare a dividend. Business never was more active. Trade was never more prosper ous. ‘The jproducts of the interior are, finding their The banks no longer possess that great control over the movements of trade they once had, The system of credits has been thoroughly revolutionized und placed upon a better basia than heretofore, consequently, there does not at present exist that necessity for banks that an inflated system of credits required. While the banks were so intimately connected wtth every department of busi- ness, the mercantile classes depended on them, their very existence rested upon the movements of a few indivi- duals who weilded an immense power, through their con- nection with the currency. ‘The power to advance or do- stroy the fortunes of those depending upon them for fo- vors, placed the merchants completely at their mercy. The dangerous connection has been dissolved, a coalition has been formed between bank directors and stock speci- lators. So long as this coalition lasts, so long must stocks advance, and so long will speculation be carried on; but the moment the brokers get firmly into theclutches of the banks, that moment their fate is sealed, aud all the bub- bles will explode at once. In 1835 and 1836, the banks by great extensions of issues and credits, led the mercantile classes into all kinds of extravagance and speculation, by a great expansion of loans and discounts, they created a sudden advance in prices for all kinds of property. Every one supposed that there could be no end to the prosperity then existing, and launched into every species of speculation; contracts wore made months in advance, engagements were entered into, running through years of time, fortunes were made on paper instantaneously, merely by advances in valug,and the whole machinery of trade was deranged. After the banks had inflated the bub- ble to its greatest extent, when they were satisfied that the thing was ripe and ready, the screws were tightened, and the explosion tremendous. The revolution was per- fected in about twenty four hours, and the change that came over the land was like a black cloud suddenly shut- ting out the light of the sun. From the experience of the past we are justified in prophesying the same for the future ‘The mercantile classes were the sufferers then, the bro- kers and speculators will be the sufferers this time, There are great dangers attached to the present condition of af- fairs, and we warn in season all those who do not wish to be involved in the general wreck that must sooner or la- ter overtake those connected with the existing specula- tions. The banks are treacherous supporters, like jack-o- lanterns they lead their followers into the ditch and leave them there. “ Caan Loan,” State or New Yorx. ? Bi ank, $50,000 at } per cent prem. J.
