NEW YORK HERALD. New York, Sunday, July 7, 1844. THREE DAYS LATER FROM EUROPE. ARRIVAL OF THE GREAT WESTERN. ADVANCE IN THE COTTON MARKET. FRENCH WAR WITH MOROCCO: Appeal of Repealers to the Queen. ANSWER OF THE QUEEN. &eo., &ec., &e. That skimmer of the seas, the Great Western, Captaia Matthews, arrived at 1 o’clock this morn- ing, with advices frog London to the evening of the 2lst, and Liverpool to the 22d ult., inclusive.— These dates are three days later than those by the Britannia. She has thus arrived on Sunday morning, as usual. She came in past the Hook and stole up by Staten Island under a bright moonlight, unbeknown to any one save our news-collector, who boarded her over an hour ahead of all others. The intelligence is not of the highest impor- tance, except as fur as cotton is concerned. ‘That great staple, Cotton, has advanced full one- eighth. The Queen assumes a firm and decided tone in her anewer to the Repealers. France has taken her stand relative to Morocco. Among the passengers in the Great Western are Captain Hoskens and Sidney Smith. The latter is well known in Pennsylvania; She brings 37 passengers in all. Earthquakes and drought have visited Scotland Mrs. Gore’s prize comedy, ‘ Quid fpro Quo,” has been perfectly successful. Earl de-Grey has not yet given up the govern- ment of Ireland, but intends shortly to do so. There is an injunction on the monster steamer Great Britain. This of course will keep her in dock for some time yet. Barrisa” Partrament, June 21.—The House of Combos went inte committee on the Sugar Du- ues bt The third clause gaye rise toa long and inter- esting discussion; oa a division it was carried by 114 to 60. Oa clause 7 a discussion arose upon the right to make slave-grown sugar from the Danish islands of St, Croix and St. Thomas pay the higher duties. Mr. Gtapsrong said the subject was under legal consideration. Lord Paumerston and Mr. C. Woop objected to the clause on the grounds raised by Mr. Barina. ‘The Crancetron of the Excuequer said a legal cons'ruction had been put upon the treaty, which the Danes were exempted from the payment of certain dues paid by the Hollanders and alien merchants. The remaining clauses were eventually agreed to. On the preamble being put, Mr. Doncomne moved the omission of the works * Freely and vo- luntarily grantthe duties.” He said the govern- ment was the laughing-stock of the country. Sir R. Peet said there was nothing extraordina- ry in the House rescinding its vote. Lord AL- orp had asked the House to pursue the same course with regard to the malt tax. Mr. Duxcomeis ultimately withdrew his motion. The German papers state that the riot of the jouraeymen weavers in Silesia was of greater 1m- portance than was stated in the first instance, but that at the date of the last accounts there was ever reason to believe thatit wouldbe eflectually quelled. Large numbers of the rioters are said, however, to have taken refuge in the mountains. The property of the master weavers destroyed by their rebellious witkmen is said to have been of considerable value. Some rioting has also taken place at Bre- slan,but there the injury was confined to the break- ing of windows. The rioters were workmen and apprentices. Tue Eaeeror or Russta ann Str Rovert Pese. Dariag the imperial visit 10 Windsor, the Empe- ror hud a long conference with Sir Robert Peel. The subject discussed was one apparently of greai interest. The Emperor spoke first, and at consi- derable length—he grew more amimated, and be- fore he concluded gestuiculated with great energy. Sir Rob rc Peel listened wah calm and almost | cid attention till his imperialMajesty concluded. The reply of the Preiuer was long and earnest; as he concluded, he grew very animated, and in the heat of his argument seemed almost to lose sight of that deferential manner so peculiarly his characteristic when addressing persons of very ex- alted raak, and before he concluded he used a: much xction as he “sheet does ina debate in the House of Commons. ¢ leave to olhers to Suess the subject of their conversation.

Moeratrry or Lonpon.—The total number of deaths in the metropolis for the week ending last Saturday, as made up by the Registrar Genera!, was 855; namely, males 445, temales 410. The week- ly average tor the past five years previously to the commencement of 1844 has been 946, Consumption or Woor.—In the quarter ending 5th April, 1343, the quantity of foreign wool enter- ed for home consumption was 4,643,887 Ibs.; in the same quarter of the present year the quantity so en- tered was 9,697,805 Ibs., and yet, notwithstanding this Largs increase, amounting to about 120 percent., the English farmer 1s obtaining at least 25 per cent. more for his wool than he received last year. Tue [row Trape.—The Glasgow Herald says— In consequence of the strike, iron is said to have risea from 33. 6d. to 43. per ton above last week’s rices. The following are the nominal quotations: igs, £3103 t0 313; bars, £6 103 to £7; rods, £7 103 to £3; sheets, &c., £10 to £10 105. The King of Saxony took his departure from ngham Palace yesterday morning on a tour. wen and Prince Albert conducted their au- gust guest tothe Grand Hall, and there took leave of their illustrious visitor. His Majesty also took leave of the ladies and gentlemen of the royal suite, and was handed to his carriage by the Mas ter ot the Horse and the equerries in waiting, Tne King qaitted the Palace at 20 minutes past nine, at- tended by his Excellency Biron de Gersdorfl. Baroa de Reichardt and Ur. Carus followed in an other openc riage. Mr. Colquioun had an in- terview on Wednesday with the King ot Saxony. A West [vptaman.—Considerable curiosity was excited yesterday at the St. Katherine's Docks in consequence of the arrival of a vessel from mu da of only 41 tons buarthen, manned entirely by men of color, and having a carge consisting entire- ly of arrow root, which has accomplished the voy- age in the incredibly short space of thirty-one days. Tais Liliputian vessel has oaly one mast, her sides are not more than from 12 to 15 inches from the deck, having a hand-rail raised above the same, of about the same height; the stern is quite even with the deck, open and unprotected; and altogether she has more the appearance of a yacht, than a vessel capable of journeying a voyage across the Atlantic. ‘Though go sinall, she is evidently of great strength, and has no vestige of paint or ornament about her. Tus Warentoo Banquet.— Yesterday being the anniversary of the batue of Waterloo, the Duke of Wellington gave his customary banquet at Apsley House, to a@ numerous circle ot those surviving officers who participated in the glories of that ever- memorable engagement. Long previous to the usual hour of meeting, the gateways in Vicadilly were literally crowded by persons of all grades, anxious and curious to obtain a glimpse of the dis tiagaished veterans who were to assemble at the noble duke’s hospitable board. Shortly before seven the carriages began to arrive, and while the company were gathering, the full band of the Grena- dier Guards (the Duce’s regiment), stationed iv the vestioule, performed a variety of martial_ma- sic. Tne Marquis of Anglesey, Lord Strafford, Lord Saltoun, i erowd without, twenty minu ness Prin arrived from Backingham Palace, attended by Major General Sir Fdware Bowater (a Waterlwo officer), aud Lord George Lennox.— London Guz.

The following are the official returns of the ex- | jf ports of the precious metals from the port of Lon- don, forthe week ending 18th ult :— Silver coin to Rotterdam, 62,000 oz. Do.

N., the government emigration agent at Cove, has received a communication dated May 29, from Mr. M. U1. Perley, who fills the same office at St. John’s, New Brunswick, trom which the followin; is an extract: ** The Philadelphia ricts have cause @ great sensation among the Roman Catholic Irish all over America. Some of the fugitives are said to have arrived here, and it is easy to foresee that these riots will, in their results, have great influ- ence over coming events, both in the United States and the Briiish North American colonies.” Her Masssry’s Tueatre.—Fanny Elssler made her first appearance this season last night inthe lit- tle ballet of Le Delire d’wn Peintre, which was brought out towards the close of Jast season. It scarcely auiounts to more than a sketch ; but the idea is exceedingly graceiul and poetical, and af- fords scope for some admirable pantomine, both from herself and Perrot. Cn her first entrance she was received with repeated rounds of applause, which continued for some time Her Majesty anc Prince Albert honored the performance with their presence accompanied by the King of Saxony,who occupied a seat in the Royal box. taxoe Ireland. Government anp THE Rerrau.—The Cork Re- porter states that ithas received information, from sources upon which it places full reliance, that “a bill, to be preceded by a message from the Crown, will very soon” perhaps in the course of a few nights—be brought in by Sir R. Peel, which will have for its object the suppression of the associa- tion. After consultation, it was found that no ex- isting law could reach it, and though it may be put down by proclamation, Sir R. Peel will rather re- sort to Parliament, which he can assuredly count upon to pass any measure of coercion for Ireland, than take the odium upon himself of acting with ‘4 rigor beyond the law.” We do not pretend to know what the provisions are or will be of the coming .veasure; but we are given to under- stand, ty our informants, that they will be of @ most stringent and severe charac- ter. ‘The great difficulty in framing it, we are told, has been, before what tribunal prosecu- tions would be brought; for, in the present ternper of the times, that of juries would, if possible, be avoided; but aw to do so would be too greata sketch, a power, it is said, will be given to the Crown of changing the venue to whatever place it may choose—the penalty, in case of a conviction, to be transportation for attempting the severance of the Union. The Late State Trials, A meeting of inhabitants of the Borough was held yesterday at the Town-hall, for the purpose of protesting against the course pursued by the goyern- ment towards Mr. O’Connell and his tellow prison- ers in the case of the late State trials, and also to memorialize her Majesty, praying that she may be graciously pleased to order their liberation from prison, The High Bailiff, upon taking the chair, read the requisition convening the meeting ; also a letter from Mr. Benjamin Wood, the representative from the Borough, expressing his concurrence in the object of the meeting, and his regret that severe illness prevented his attendance at the meeting.— Mr. Boxer proposed the first resolution, which was tothe effect, that the mecing deeply de lored the present state of Ireland, and expressed its strong disapprobation o! the conduct of the government as regarded the proceedings against Mr. O’Connell and his fellow prisoners, for exercising their rights as free citizens. Mr. Beacon moved the next reso- lution, expressive of deep sympathy with Mr. O’- Connell, and the other prisoners, observing that, knowing they were unjustly imprisoned, the meet- ing would use every exertion to restore them to lib- erty and protect them in the exercise of the rights of free discussion, and also to redress the grievan- ces of Ireland. Onthe motion of Mr. Stephens, seconded by Mr. Knight, a memorial to the Queen was adopted, calling attention to the present state of Ireland, and praying that the people of that coun- try may be placed upun the same footing as those of England, and that her Majesty would adoptsuch measures as would tend to tranquilize that country. {t also prayed that her ay would order the im- mediate release of Mr. O'Connell and the other State prisoners. A resolution was proposed and eartied, that the meioria! should he signed by the High Baill, on behalf of tie meeting —London Globe, Jume 21. Address to the Queen. Mr. O’Brien read the subjoined address, which he termed a national declarationt o be satistied with nothing less than a Repeal of the Legislative Uni- onr— “ Most Gracious Sovereign—We, the undersigned int.a- bitants and natives of the Kingdom of ireland, being deep- ty aggrieved and incensed by the acts of those who misuse your Majesty’s name to sanction their aggressions upon our riguts and liberties,and confiding in your Majesty's be- uign disposition tow ards your loyal irish sudjeots,ventuce to approach your throne With tuis our appeal tor redress, Au event, Most Gracious Sovereigu, has occurred, which has caused to the Irish nation intense sorrow, alarm, and indignation, The most illustrious of your wajesty’s subjects, together with six others of our fellow- souatrymen, are now inmates of a como jail—having veeu Convicted by means which we believe to be uncon- sututonal, itlegal, and unjust, tor having performed acta, deserving not of puuishinent, but of tue highest com- mendation, Desiring to untold to your Mujesty the sourse of circumstances which have broughi tv pass this event, never to be forgottea by the Irish pation, we respectfully to vepreseut to your Majesty iat your subjects claim to be a free people, and to be as much eartied to the enjoyment ot free insti tutions a the most favored inhabitants of your empire Chat, for several hundred years, they possessed, under the Crown of Eagland, anational parliament. That by a combination of wicked: must without parallel, they were, in the year 1900, deprived of this their ancient victhright and inheritance. ‘Thai they have since learned by the sad experience of forty-three years, how great a loss their country sustained in exchanging self-goverument or provincial dependency. That in the British parliament Irish interests are neglected, Irish feelings find no sym- pathy, Irish opinion possesses no weight; and that the fruit of British legislation for Ireland has been the prostration of ull those resources, moral and material, which can give dignity, prosperity, and contentment toa nation. One man had sullicient pesetration to discover the cause of our sufferings, and sufficient energy to rouse his countrymen to assist him in the almost hopeless task of recovering our Legislature. His mission was peaceful. He announced, that no triumph which{we could achieve was to be accepted, if won by the effusion of a single drop of bluod. He relied upon the irresistible influence of opinion, sustained by consciousness of the force of his reasoning, and of the righteousness of his cause. He called together his fellow- countrymen. ‘They assembled in dul array. He asked them whether his opinions were confirmed by their concurrence. They answered, with a voice almos' unanimous, that there is no hope for Ireland, save in the cestoration of her Legisiature. Such is the offence oi Daniel O'Connell, For having sought to secure to the iand ot his birth the protecting influences of selt-govern ment, our aged patriot now inhabits the abode of a felon. From among the millions who coincide with him in opinion, and who, so cuinciding, share his guilt, without partaking his merit or his doom, eight were selected a» instrumgnts to effect his conviction. For whatever im prudent words they may have spoken, written, or pub- iished, he has been held responsible. We are told, most gracious Sovereign, but we believe it not, that this is the jaw of the land. Our reason tells us it is not the law of u-tare, or of God. The course of the trial has been con- sistent with the nature of the charge and the means by which it has been sustained. We have been accustomed co believe that trial by jury wan ii to the accused an impartial tril in the case of O'Conveli we have seen the jury laws violated, and every expedient adopted which could insure his couviction, by the intervention of political and religious prejudice. in your Majesty’s highest Court of Criminal Judicature, your Attorney General has been allowed, during the progress of this trial, with impunity, to violate the laws of God and man. Your Chie Justice has been seen to cake upon himself the office of advocate against the ac- cused, Thus, by @ perversion of law aod by a denial ot justice, the greatest man of his oge has been convicted on a charge of conspiracy, and has been consigned to a jail even belore the process is ter. minated which questions the validity of hia trial.— ‘In addressing your Majesty, we do not use courtly phrase, or thé customary formularigg of adulation. We address you, as our beloved Sovereign, in the lan guage of the heart. We fear that truth seldom reaches a royul ear ; and being sincerely desirous to preserve to your Majesty, unimpaired, the effection of the people of ireland, Rehab not conceal from you our conviction hat the proceedings of your Majesty’s present ministers have greatly tended to alienate the minds of your Irish subjects from the lawa, institutions, and government which they administer, and to engender animosities be- cween the kindred nations which acknowledge your Ma- ‘tituted to secure to ‘4s sway. ‘To us, this event brings an addi “onal proof that Ireland can never be wisely safely governed until we native islature; und under the pressure o} con. tion, we think it right, on the f JOR, NOt f ajesty this our national protest against the injr hich has been inflicted upon our innocent fellow countrymam, and agaigat the vio- iaion of our own rights and liberties, but also to re-- cont the fixed and irrevocable determination of a large majority of the Irish nation to persevere until suc cess shail reward their perseverance in their effurte © obtain the restoration of the Parliament of Ireland Relying, then, ue Majesty's gracious desire to promote the f your trish plore r 'y to assivt our endeavour to ob’ 1 repeal of the Act of Union, as the only effectual m { protecting from these wrongs—logislative, ministrative, and judiciak—which we now end who, with Ary Fo tee, ohichtia tes tethens Sovereign, subscribe themselves your Majesty’s loyal and attached subjects.” Answer of the Queen.

O'Connell and the other State prisoners. France. Nothing official has transpired to confirm the report that the goverament has received informa- tion of the disavowal, by the Emperor of Morocco, of the conduct of his general; but it is thought that the next arrival from Algiers will announce this fact positively, An ultimatum has been sent to Morocco, and if the answer should prove unfavor- able, hostilities will, of course, be resorted to. The are opinion, however, is, that every thing will e arranged satisfactorily, as far as the Emperor of Morocco is concerned. ih We are to have a concert monstre at the “Palais de ’Industrie,” in the Champs Elysées, towardsthe end of next month. This is a speculation of M. Berlioz and M. Strauss. Nearly 900 performers, instrumental and v. |, are engaged; andthe ex- penses of each day’s performance (there are to be two) will not be much less than 20,000 francs; for the «performers, even of a minor order, are to | 3 have from 10 to 15 francs each. Young Bernardin, now one of the most celebrated violinists of the day, although he is only 17 years of age, has been engaged for the occasion. M. Berlioz has given to his pariomeance the pompous name of “ Festival de l’Industrie.” The use of the building is offered to him gr a: Mr. Risley and his twosons, who have been #0 long performing in London, made their debut here on Saturday at the Porte St. Martin Theatre. The manager, recollecting the infamous treatment of the English company many years ago at this thea- tre, had taken care to make it known in every pos- sible way that Mr. Risley is not an Englishman, but an American; but the audience generally seemed to think that he was English, and when he first came on the stage he had a most chilling reception. The very first display ot his powers, however, thawed the ice, and in less than two minutes nobody thought about his nationality. The applause was enthusiastic in every part of the theatre, and approving exclamations were heard.— When the curtain had fallen, Mr. Risley and his interesting children were loudly called for, and on their re-appearance the stage was covered with bou- quets, which were thrown from the boxes. The Paris papers of Monday announce the de- parture of the Prince de Joinville for Toulon at five o’clock that morning. The Courrier Francais asserts that the French Cabinet was on the wage of undergoing a medifi- cation. M. Duchatel had agreed to replace M. Lacave Laplagne in the Department of Finance ; M. Dumon would be removed to the Min ae ot Justice, and be succeeded in that of Public Works by M Vitet ; and M. de Montalivet would be ap- pointed Minister of the Interior. M. Martin du Nord and M. Lacave Laplagne, the two retiring members of the Cabinet, would be named, the for- mer President of one of the Chambers of the Court of Casvation, and the other Attorney-General i the Court of Accounts. Spain, ‘We have received the Madrid journals of the 12th. The financial question still excites great uneasiness, and reports were current of an intention to dissolve the Oortes. The Eco del Comercio asserts that the people are still under the empire of the sword, and the daily violations take place of the liberty of the subject. jur accounts from Madrid of the 11th instant state that the residence of the Queen at Barcelona being likely to last longer than was expected, two of the Ministers would probably join the Court io the capital of Catalonia. The news of the com- mencement of hostilities between France and Me- rocco had ereated a great sensation in Madrid. The Heraldo calls on the Government'to take ad- vantage of that circumstance to have revenge for the murder of her Consul by the Moors. The Castellano expresses a simiiur opinion, and declares that Spain, whether in conjunction with France, or left to her own resources, should uphold the honour and dignity of the Spanish people. The iempo contradicts the report ol the rain of M. Mon, the Minister of Finance. The dividend in the Three per Cents Stock, due on the Ist of July next, had been provided for, and the advertise. ments are to take place immediately in Madrid and London. The 3 per cents were done at 27 26% for cash, and 27} at 60 days; the 5 per per cents ut 20) at 50 days; the floating debt at 45 at 50 days; and the debt without interest at 6} at 40 days, with 3 prem. Our advices from Barcelona of the 12th instant, announce that Fuad Effendi, the Envoy of the Porte, presented his credentials to the Queen on the 1th. Some alarm prevatied among the Cata- lonian manufacturers at the prospect of a reduction in the tariff duties, which; would seriously affect their interests. The French Minister, it appears, was urging the Spanish Government to adopt that measure, and the fatter was said to be disposed to do so. On the 10th the Minister of England had a long interview with the Marquis de Viluma, which was suppozed to have had reference to the same question. haa a, Pra: _ Bertin, June 12—The latest accounts from Sile- sia announce that some.excesses took place in Alt Friedland, which seems to be connected with those committed on the 4ih at Peterawalden, several bands of natives in Alt Friedland having, on the 7th, attacked the dwelling of a clerk, from the manufactory destroyed at Peterswalden, and plun- dered the stock of goods and money. The measures taken by the police prevented, however, any fur- ther excesses, without the aid of the military. Poland, We learn from Warsaw, June 9, that the return of Prince Paskewitsch, which took place only a week ago, has been so long delayed by the military arrangements which are rendered necessary yy the state of the frontier provinces of Turkey. How long will the mouldering edifice be prevented from falling by props and buttresses from without ? We have letters from the Lower Danube, just a week old, lying betore us, which give detwil- ed accounts of the dissolution of all social ties. The Porte is wholly incapable ot stopping by « d cisive blow the frightful excesses ot the Albanians ; and the whole country from Uscup to the Servian frontiers is said to be a scene of the most dreadful devastation. The accounts from Warsaw say that several emi- grants have been parce by the Emperor,through the mediation of Prince Paskewitsch. In consequence of the promising appearance of the crops, the prices of all kinds of corn have fallen considerably, except that of wheat, for which there is a pretty brisk demand. The Jews, who always find ways and means to attain their ends, have succeeded in obtaining for another year the right of selling brandy, which had been taken from them. aT A Greek church is now building in Warsaw. Egypt. A letter from Alexandria, of May 25, in the Presse, says:—“*The Viceroy is about to send to Pa- ris, Hussein Bey, his third son, and Achmet Bey, the eldest of Ibrahim Pacha’s children. The two oa hae are of about the same age, 18 years. Hussein Bey has Late in Egypt been a pupil of the cavalry school, and he will continue to follow in France the studies connected with that branch of the service. Achmet Bey is destined for the artillery. To extend the advantages which Egypt would reap from their stay in France, and to keep up Seema between them, the Viceroy will have them accompanied by fifteen or twenty young men selected from among the most conside- table families, or amongst the best pupils of our cavalry, artillery, and Polytechnic Schools. The princes and their fellow pupils will be placed in France under the surveillance of Stephan Effendi® who was educated in Paris, and who is aow member of the Council of Justice at Cairo. Hussein Bey and Achmet will not be the only ones of our young princes who are to share in the ben- efits of public education in France. Their broth- ers are to join or replace them, according as their age will allow, them to travel with advantage. he departure is to take place ina fortnight or three weeks.” Markets.

Liverroou Corron Marxer, June 91.—The demand has continued good since our last report, but it is less lively to-day than in the early part of the week ; prices of the lower and middling classes of American are again $4 per Ib. dearer, and we now quote fair Mobile and New Orleans fi higher thon last week ; in Upland there is not quite the same improvement. Surats are steady at former rates. There has been more doing in Brazils, but neither the: jan are the least higher. 10,600 bales of Ameri- been taken on speculation and for export ; 2600 American ; 100 Surot. and 360 Pern: the sales have been 37990 bales of all .

Fifty or sixty put up at the United States Hotel on that day, and a propertionate number at the other hotels. There is, it seems, a great rivalry amongst the houses, and a most laughable war between the small news- papers which are issued there for a month or two in the warm weather, and then go to sleep for the rest of the year, like {the dormouse. The equab- bles of such small fry are infinitely amusing. Amongst the most fashionable arrivals,we notice that of the honorable and famous Mr. McConnell, of Alabama. He certainly wants to be cleared out well. We advise him to drink eight or nine glasses of Congress water eyery morning before breakfast for ten days, absiaining meanwhile,from all strong potations, and if after that he don’t come outa highly respectable member of Congress, we don’t know what will do the business. He has the raw material in him to make one of the smartest men in the House—that’s not saying much to be sure—but still he is really capable of being made a pretty clever sort of a member of Congress. We observe also that Mundell, of this city, will run a daily express to Saratoga, by which the visi- ters there will receive the New York morning papers by 9 o’clock on the evening of the same day, and thus obtain the latest information before they sleep. This must prove highly acceptable. Sri Later rrom Arcentins.—The Linnea, which arrived yesterday, brings accounts from Bue- nos Ayres to the 18th of May, inclusive. There is no later intelligence of importance from Montevideo. That place continued to be blockaded, however. It is reported that Reviere having eluded the pre- sence of Gen. Gomez, made an attempt to penetrate into the interior of the State, and show himself for a moment in the vicinity of Montevideo, in order to bolster up the hopes of his desponding partizans» but notwithstanding the rapidity of his marching, a the sacrifice of the greater part of hishorses he lett, he was completely frustrated in his desiga by the vigilance of Gen. Urquiza, and drizen back with severe loss, Late rrom Lima.—Advices from Lima to the 11th of May have been received. We hear of no news. No American vessels at Lima. The frigate ‘Savannah and tho rest of the squadron were at Callao. Disastrous Fire.—We learn that the country seat of Mr. Samuel Drury, gold refiner, at Astoria, L.1., was on Friday morning totally consumed, (supposed to be the act of an incendiary). Loss estimated at about $30,000; insured in three offices for $17,000. The inmates barely escaped with their lives, and they owe their lives under Provi- dence to the sagacity of a valuable Newfoundland dog, who howled and knocked upen the door until Mr. D. was awakened, and only had time to get his family out in their night clothes. Trotting Matou at Atpany.—On Thursday last a trotting match came off over the Bull’s Head Trotting Course. It was for a purse of $50, free for all horses, The following were entered: ‘one: 84 8, h, 8 years old; entered and driven by a Cana b. m.; entered and driven by Jobn Case Fashion, g m.; owned by Gen.

We publish in another column the latest ue and authentic intelligence respecting the trifl- ing) excitement in Philadelphia on the Sth inst. The rumors of seriousdistarbances which were cir- culating in this city yesterday, and to which addi- tional exaggeration was given by asilly “extra” issued by one of the penny papers, are thus shown to be quite unfounded. The attack on the tents of the “natives” turnsout to have been merely a freak of some drunken rowdies, and the muskets found cent | in the church belonged to the State Arsenal and had been deposited there by the order of the autho- Tities, Whilst, however, we are thus happily enabled to dispel the fears which had been excited by the reports of a fresh outbreak in our sister city, it is useless to conceal the fact, that the popular feeling in Philadelphia is at present in a inost excited state, and that the slightest spark may at any moment wrap the community in flames. In Phila- delphia they have no police—no influential public press—no great embodiment of sober public opinion to counteract and crush the rioter or incen- diary. The fierce spirit of faction still lives. Bigotry, prejudice, revenge, and all the dark pas- sions of the human heart are brooding over the past, and anxiously await some opportunity of bursting forth in all their maddened fury. Intruth, the struggle of which the late melancholy riots were but as the dust which betokens the approach of some advancing army, has only begun. The seeds sown by Bishop Hughes are only in the blade. Only by the exercise—the timely exercise of the greatest wisdom on the part of the true and intelligent patriot, can that portentous growth be nipped in the bud. Hence the propriety, nay, the duty of keeping the public mind awake to the true merits of the case, and the real causes of its present threatening aspect. Catholicity, as a religious sect, is as harmless as any other. Catholics, as such, have an equal night to political privileges with Episcopalians or Pres- byterians, or Quakers. In a community composed of Catholics and Protestants, it is perfectly clear that the political power should be possessed by Catholics and Protestants. We do not believe that religioustanaticism has yet grown so influen tial on this soil as to require any formal exposure on the part ,of the directors of public opinion, of the doctrine that we should have an only Protestant Government, which is about as reasonable a doc- trine as that we should have only a Protestant sys- tem of Agriculture. But whilst Catholicity is thus, as a religious sect, fully entitled to occupy precisely the same position as any other system of religious faith—but when Catholicity assumes the character of a political agency—when it assumes to dictate the conduct which its followers are to pur- sue as citizens or subjects—then it occupies an attitude of hostility to the liberties of men, and earns the just indignation and earnest opposition of all true patriots.— And such, alas! has been very frequently the cha- racter of Catholicity, Such has been the position into which it has been forced inthis country by Bishop Hughes. It was the attempt to use the Catho- lic Church as a great controlling political agency which awakened, and very naturally awakened, and happily awakened, alarm in the minds of citi- zens of an adverse faith, and led to that powerful and excited manifestation of opposing feeling, which can never be restrained within proper limits. The Philadelphia riots and their causes, have ex- cited many interesting and instructive reflections in the leading journals on the other side of the wa- ter. One of them, the London Standard, has an able article on the subject, and makessome remarks which are in a great degree accordant with those we have just offered. They are suggestive and worthy of attention at'this moment:— The Church of Rome is a religious be cnr als though its doctrines have not generally main‘ thet uniformity which has been maintained most other de- nominations ofthe Christian Church. But besides being ‘@ religious sect, the Roman Catholic Church is alsoa secular political institution, and its ‘ious profession is little more than a means of collecting secular subjects, and d organising ita political power. The Roman Catholic Church is an sem Are pervading the several states of the world, and exercising preci Ae much power as the frequently wrangling wi'b ihe local sovereignty for the ently wrangling wi je local sor y for the more ar leas ct power It is an empire exercised by an oli hy of priests, whose principal seat is at Rome, bur which denounces any other local allewiance on the part of its subjects. What bag A the objects of Romauism we learn, not only from history, but from what we see posing in eur ownday, and almost under eur own eyes. manism destroyed the French constitution in 1829, and expelled the King of the Netherlands from half his domi- nions in 1830, manism sought to raise a rebellion in Prussia a few years later; it has kept Spain in a s* f savage civil war for 12 years, and Ireland in a s dering upon civil war jor twice as many ; it is now in- triguing to dethrone the family of tho best and wirest King that France ever possessed ; it seriously disturbs France, and itis unnecessary to say what it is doing in Ireland. Itia riotously butchering Protestants in Phila- delphia, and judicially murdering them in Madeira, Proper allowance is to be made for the intole. rant spiritJof the Standard, but we are free to ad- mit that there is much truth in the remarks we have quoted. On the head of Bishop Hughes rests the fearful} responsibility of arousing against his church, in this land, all the violent prejudices which have so long inflamed the Protestant mind. He discovers no disposition to retrace his steps, and we repeat what we urged some time ago, that the enlightened and liberal members of the Catholic church should unite in expressing that disapproba- tion ot his conduct—which we know many of them feel—and in endeavoring to free their faith from the odium which now rests upon it. This will be ultimately found to be the readiest method of subduing the bitter animosities which have been engendered by the foolish conduct of this foolish prelate. . Tue Vireinta Duri.—It is stated in the Norfolk Herald, that John Tyler, Jr., and H. Pleasants, editor of a Richmond paper, went to Margarets- ville, N. C., on the 4th inst., in order to fight the talked of duel. Great Fing 1n Toronto.—It is reported by gen- tlemen who arrived here yesterday morning, that a great fire was raging in Toronto on Tuesday even- ing. No other particulars. Fourtu or Jury Frost.—We learn that there was considerable frost last Thursday night along the line of the railroad, and in the vicinity of New Bedford. Tender vines and vegetables were in- jured. It was the coldest 4th of July since 1821. —_——____ ImmicraTion.—Ten thousand emigrants have ar- rived at Quebec this year. Twelve thousand arrived there last year. Inperenvence Hore., 195 Burecker Srreet.— This house has been almost entirely refurnished and fitted up; a most choice selection of wines and spirits laid in, together with all that is good in the culinary department, fruits, ice creams, S&c., and there is a very pleasant garden attached, in which all these good things may be partaken of with greater zest. Those who favour the worthy host may rely upon every attention being paid to their wants and wishes. Vavxnatt—Mrs. Tium’s Benerit.~—On Monday evening next this spirited and talented acting manager, of this pleasant place of amusement, takes her benefit, and we feel assured that she will, as she much merits, have a bumper. A most ex- cellent bill of fare is provided for the occasion.— There is to be performed ‘Brother and Sister,” and “ Moral Philosophy,” together with the per- formances of the unrivalled accordionist, Mr. Stone. In addition to all thie there is to bea grand hall in the garden. If these do not attract anover flowing attendance, we shall wonder. Wasutxeton Horen.—We uuderstamd that John Marriner will receive his friends as usual at Wash- ington Hall, which has been sufficiently repaired for the purpose siace the fire. See advertise- ment. AnrivaLs.—Hon. Senator Berrien, from Georgia, has arrived intown. He stope at the American.— Gen. Wall, from New Jersey, is also stopping at the same house. s The Fashionable Season and the W 0 Places. ‘The fashionable season has fairly set in. Broad: way is quite deserted by the “old familiar faces’ and the dog-killers are very busy in Greenwich and Chelsea. The splendid parlors of Waverley Plac: and Union Square are abandoned to plump cham, bermaids with rosy cheeks and a Tipperary patois| Loafers, only, revel in the delicious, dreamy moon: light on the Battery. All the fashionable world who can afford it, and many more who cannot! have gone to the watering places, and the city i occupied only by the hewers of wood ahd drawe: of water, the manufacturers of public opinion, th ompibus horses and other innocent cattle. This periodicaf migration from the city is funn enough in some points of view. The great objec! professed by the visiters at the watering piaces, i to escape from the heat of the city. But it is ab solutely the fact that in July and August the cit is cooler than the country—and ucquestionabl: the means of enjoyment are far more varied and attractive than can be found in the most favored o your “rural retreats.” In the forenoon you hav the cool and quiet retirement of your own cem fortable room, ‘in the evening the drive to Burn ham’s or the “Abbey,” at night the moon, light excursion in the Bay, or an hour af “the Gardens.” Preferable, surely, one would suppose, to sweltering in a room eight feet by ten in the third story, dining amidst the effluvia o three hundred and fifty human beings, being bored to stupefaction by a villainous brass band, and theq bitten to death by mosquitoes. Ia truth, Ne York, from ite admirably healthy location, and presenting so many facilities for rational am ment, is a delightful place of residence in the sum: mer. Were the streets swept regularly eve: night, and well washed with Croton water, Ne’ York would be the healthiest and most desirabl residence on this continent. But to the “Springs” and the thousand watering: places the great mob go. The society which pr sents itself at these places is infinitely ai The first class is composed chiefly of the descead ants of lucky porters, fortunate green-grocers, and industrious wood-sawyers. This is the aristocracy of the first rank, and they possess in great perfec; tion the delicate feelings, the refined sentiments the distingue noses, and formidable knuckles o} their progenitors. Then there is the second cl of the aristocracy,composed of papas and mammas; who have in their own generation attained a rank, accorded to the ancestry of th first class only after their death, like th honors of canonization to the respectable ladie and gentlemen who figure in the Romish calender; It is very interesting to observe the relative degre of pretension and affectation, discovered by thesq people and their amiable and intelligent offspring] The old people still retain something of the primi. tive style jin their dress aud demeanor, but thd sons and daughters go to a still greater extreme in aping the manners and vices of Europe, than even the seionsgof aristocracy, numberj one. Then wi have a sprinkling of sharpers and adventurers of the usual description, together with a few really intelligent, refined and respectable people. Al the watering places present the same general fe tures—the same curious mixture—the same preten sion, affactation,vulgarity, rudeness, elegance, pro. priety, humbug and folly. ‘There is one thing which distinguishesan Ameri- can watering-place from all others, and that is, th singular influence.of political feeling. This is th only bond of union—the only recognized leader- the only humanizing influence. All those who en tertain the same political opinions, herd together] no matter how much otherwise diversified in senti; ment, character, and standing. In the mean time, whilst one third of the popula: tion, in thus “spending the season,” business i: suspended—even the devil dozes in Wall street stocks go down—impudence goes up—the harvei of folly and humbug ripens—time speeds away. the churchyard gates stand open—and the grea mingled tide of human happiness, wickedness and| miseryflowson! Pronocrauy.—This word—one of the yery new: est of the ographies—most of our readers are aware means “writing from sound,” and is at present furnishing that most gullible people, the| English with a new hobby, a thing which it appee: is as requisite to their mental composure as the cook and her appointments are to their bodily comfort. A certain Mr. Isaak Pittman has written a whol¢ boek about this phonography, alias writing fro sound—and, verily, a high sounding book it is. Let none of our witty readers be for stretching ow remarks too far, or saying that they have our sanc- tion for calling the aforesaid boek “a sounding brass or a tinkling cymbal.” Because its autho: happens to have in his composition a good allow: ance of the brazen mettle, it does not follow that the poor book should participate either in its lustra or durability ; equally illogical would it be to sa} that because it is symbolical without much mean: ing, it must be a sort of cymbal without noise and rigmarole. But, to be brief, Mr. Pittman has been for a con siderable time at work, and not without some suc cess, to make the people believe that he has invent ed a new system of writing founded upon a ne principle, and that it is more excellent than al others extant. Now, we beg leave to tell Mr. Pitt} man, point blank, that this is not true ; and if the be any loss of time involved, or any pains taken however trifling, it is done for the purpose of mitij gating the extremely foolish credence that to a cer] tain extent is attached to his representations, and which might grow to a mania if not put an end to The pretext alleged by this new light for givin publicity to his wonderful discovery, is about plausible as pompous. He wishes to obviate and amend the inconveniences and faults of the ortho graphy of our language. Now, the richness of th joke of Mr. Pittman’s pretending that there was an; thing new in the discovery of what is upon record for 150 years, is only equalled by his pretending tq remedy what Johnson, and Walker, and Sheridan and al our great philologists deplored,but could no} remiove—the anomalies in the orthography of o language. Again, there is nothing new in the principle off the vaunted phonographic system. The object ta be attained and the principle of the system are iden| tical with stenography—practised every day -b English reporters for the public press, and those fo} the Herald; and surely, when the perfection (q which this art is brought is borne in mind, on should be disposed to think that Mr. P. could hardly improve it. There is no use in quarrellin about words; the thing signified by the words pho nography and stenography are identical, and tha thing is a system of writing, which, by the use o abarely sufficient number of characters to expres the articulate sounds of the human voice—and ig the choice of them being governed by a regard fo simplicity and facility in their formation, united with brevity and dispatch in their use, and explic ness in their application. ‘We have seen Mr. P.’s system of phonography, but we are convinced that it is not only not superio to other systems of abbreviated writing, one which we can teach him, but that it is far behing them. Writing from sound is essentially mechani cal and practical. A volume of theory on the subj ject is not worth a straw. Now, that Mr. P. ma! be clever at the last, we do not deny; but we nq less broadly assert that his system is not availabl for practical use; that it is cumbrous, needless; diffuse, and complex, and for that very reason use) tess, asgwas proved at one of his lectures in Liver} pool last winter, when a shrewd gentleman asked him if he could take down a passage which hi would read froma book, wifich he attempted tq do and failed. : The only merit that Pittman’s system possesse is’a very common place one; it is less difficult + read when written than other systems We ca say the same of a penny ballad. The difficulty ii &
