Splendid Specimens of Engraving. On Saturday morning we will publish a splendid number ofthe Weekly Herald, containing a more ful} and varied recerd and description of the recent ex- traordinary riots and civil war in Philadelphia, than any other paper in this country. This ample marrative of these exciting events will be illus- trated by numerous engravings from spirited sketch- es taken on thy spot by eiuinent artists, who wit- * nessed the affray between the mob and the militia , There will probably be five or six engravings illus- tratung these horrible scenes; and this number of the Weekly Herald will altogether furnish one of che most complete histories—including, also, pri- vate correspondence from the spot—that has yet been given of these deplorable events. The same Weekly Herald will contain a full ac- count of the imprisonment and bloody massacre of Joe Smith, the Mormon Prophet, and his brother Hiram, by the mob at Carthage, Illinois. This ter- rible outrage on the laws and institutions of a ci- vilized community, will be also illustrated by a portrait of Joe Smith—if possible—and likenesses of several distinguished characters amongst the Mormons. This splendid Weekly Herald, on the preparation of which no expense or labor have been spared, will cost only 6} cents per single copy, and 4 cents by the hundred. It will be the most valuable and attractive paper of the kind that has ever been pub- lished in this country. Opinions of the Press on the Philadelphia Riots—Silence and Impotence of the mere Political Papers. It is very interesting, and far from being unin- structive, to examine the opinions of the newspaper press on the recent occurrences in Philadelphia. In that city itself something like common sense and moral influence begins to be discovered in a portion of the press. The Spirit of the Times speaks out with equal truth and boldness, denouncing in forcible terms the very culpable cringing of the au- thorities to the mob, and calling for a vindication of the supremacy of the laws, by the immediate adoption of the most rigorous measures for the sup- pression of anything approaching insubordination The Chronicle adopts the same tone, and insists that at all hszards the mob should be conquered and taught submission to the law. It places the origin of the last riot in the true light, and justly ascribes to the indiscretion of the Rev. Mr Dunn, and the overwhelming strength of the rowdyism which has for years characterized Philadelphia, all the vio- lence and bloodshed which has appalled the com- munity. The United States Guzette addresses a very forcible and appropriate exhortation to all good citizens to be cautious and temperate, and re~ frain from all remarks calculated to excite heated feeling. We cherish the belief that these journals speak the sentiments of the mass of the respectable citizens in Philadelphia, and that we shall hence- forth find them giving an energetic su,port to the laws, and uniting in an effort to obtain a re-organ- ization of their city government. We regret to find that the native organ—the Daily Swn—is endeavoring to fan the flames of bad feeling against the military authorities. I: talks in an exciting strain of military despotism, and indirectly defends the violence and atrocities of the mob. The little paper in this city assuming to be the organ of the “ natives” is also pursuing 2 very unjustifiable course. {[t is declaiming in its characteristic vulgar and abusive style against the Catholics, and stirring up as diligently as it can those evil passions of bigotry and prejudice which have been the primary causes of all this melan- choly state of things. This conduct, however, on the part of the native organs, in this city at least, is condemned by all the intelligent and enlighten- ed men of the patry. [t finds favor here only with the ignorant bigots, who are happily in this region as impotent as they are ignorant. Of the other journals in this city, the Tribune describes the mob as a gang of desperadoes who probably made a pretence of ‘ nativeism,” and de- fends the placing of the guns in the church, which was altogether wrong. The peculiar circumstances attendant on the measures adopted for the preserva tion of St. Phillip’s Church, were unfortunately of a highly provoking nature; a very weighty responsibility rests on those concerned in that movement. But with the remarks oi the Tribune relative to the character of the mob, and the laudable conduct of the military, weentirely concur. The Express says little about the matter, but suggests, with great propriety, that strict measures should be adopted for the apprehen- sion of every one implicated in the mob-move- ments, in order that the severest punishment au- thorized by the law may be administered te such atrocious offenders. The Journal _of Commerce concludes a strong article by the following re- marks, which we endorse :— Some of the Philadelphia papers, we sce, are dispose’) to censure the military, as being too precipitate in firin, and thus occasioning an unnecessary loss of life. We do not think so. Extreme danger justifies extreme m sures. Men acting in open defiance of the laws are entitled to any great indulgence. The military bore eve- ry thing but death before they fired; and, in fact, the only question was—to fire, or be driven from the ground, ‘We must say they behaved admirably well, considering the dangers to which they were exposed, and the fact that they had no other interest in the restoration of or der than was common to every citizen. We should like to know whether these brave men, with their noble commanders, hi concentrated in themselves al) the courage and patriotism ofthe city. We donot un- derstand how it was, that when the citizens, en masse were called upon to quell one of the most dangerous riots which ever disgraced the nation, only a hundred men re ted themselves. Wedo not understand how it was that the citizens generally allowed the few brave men who composed the military, to contend for three days andnights, untilthey were worn out with fatigue, and did not come to their relief. We do not understand how | it was that the dispersed and beaten mob were aliowed to reassemble at Wharton market, and there deliberating, a awell authorised State, send a delegation to negociate with the military commander, and with the civil authori ties as their allies, secure their own term are we all interested in the fine of Ameri oan institutions, but every city has an int self; for ifin any American city a mob may with deadly weapons murder the, i net only go unpunished, but trium; asen, the: spirit of treason will have learned a lesson which iene, coat many lives to obliterate. Certain it is, that Philu hia ia involving us all in shame in ‘danger. Pray e all the peopleof Philadelphia joined the mob? Have they determined ona revolution, such as occur every year in the South American republics? If so they well deserve to perish. But what says the Courier & Enquirer? What says the Plebeian? What stand do these organs— | tutes moral or intellectual greatness; and it would and pure, and of good report—and uniformly spe: ing in terms of most amusing disdain of the inde- pendent journalism of this country; and yet, at a time when the flames of civil discord are bursting forth, and threatening general conflagration of all that good citizens hold sacred and dear—when a | lawless mob is triumphing over all law and all au- thoriy—when the streets of one of our chiel cities | are bedewed with the blood of freemen, butchered when discharging their duty, by desperadoes—at such a time, those influential, respectable, dig- nified, patriotic organs of public opinion, like dumb dogs, cowardly, craven-hearted, corrupt and rotten asthey are, are as voiceless and impotent as the carcase which lies putrifying in the field. Organs of public opinion! Directors of public sentiment’ Conservators of the public morals! Guardians of the public peace! Perish, now and forever, the fortunes of the republic! we might, in- deed, well exclaim, ifsuch were the only presses to give utterance to public sentiment and represent the intelligence, patriotism and moral strength of the community. The Courier dare not utter a word on the Philadelphia riots. Miserable, contemptible tool of faction, it dare uot squeak on the all engrossing topic of the day. But it can daily squirt its two or three columns of party slang and party vitupe. ration. The Courier possesses 80 much dignity and principle, that its patriotism will not permit it to cry out against a mob, but it will permit it to blacken the memory of the dead. Its patriotism will not suffer it to vindicate the supremacy of the law, but it will allow it to descend to any depth of blackguardism in slandering an opponent. Vitupe- ration, abuse, lying, malignity, scurrility—these are the virtues, by the exercise of which the Courier fulfils its high mission as a public jour- nalist, and earns the privilege of assailing the inde- pendect press. And the silence of the Courier, and the party press generally, on the Philadelphia press, is quite consistent with their silence on all the great questions which agitate society. But thank Heaven, there is in this land a free and independent newspaper press, which has grown up into the possession of overwhelmning influence. And its course at this moment gives the lie in the most impressive manner to those who, dreading what they affect to despise, would represent it as false to its duty as the guardian and conservator of the public press and morals. We point with pride to the manly and patriotic course adopted by the independent newspaper press at this ¢risis. It has discovered that there still exists in this com- munity a power adequate for the maintenance of order, and that is, just, patriotic, and enlightened public opinion, And there is additional and most gratifying evidence of the existence of this mora! power, presented to us, in the alacrity with which the volunteer companies from the country have poured into Philadelphia for the patriotic pur- pose of sustaining the supremacy of the law. This speaks volumes for the patriotism, courage and love of order, which characterize the great mass of the population of this mighty land. It our large cities, in consequence of bad municipal govern- men!, have become polluted in a greater or less de gree by that concentration of every thing that is vile, which has been called “ rowdyism,” the rural districts are uncontaminated. There the old revo- lutionary love of country and reverence for frev- dom and good order are cherished, and exist in all their strength fand influence. And while they live, our institutions and laws are secure from any foe, at home or abroad. Catcurenny “ Extras.”—During the last few days the city has been flooded with extrasfrom the offices of the “Sun” and ‘ Tribune,” published at ten or twelve o’clock, and pretending to be later intelligence from the scene of the riots in Phila- delphia, On inspection, however, these “extras” are found to be a mere re-hash of what was pub- lished in the morning papers. We have had num- berless communications exposing this catchpenny system of public deception, and remonstrating in the severest terms on the imposition thus practised by the publication of what is really not news at all. Yesterday the same game was repeated. An “extra” was issued from the office of the Tribune which contained nothing more important or later than what was published in all the morning papers Whether the “ Sun” issued an “extra” of thesame description or not, we do #t know. Now in regard to all matters of public importance, either foreign or domestic, we have always made it a point of honor to publish nothing in the shape of an ‘‘extra,” that does not really demand a prompt and immediate issue. And we believe that we have, by this honorable and upright sys- tem, succeeded in gaining public confidence, so much so, that when other offices issue ‘‘ extras” the pubsic usually wait to see whether there is a Herald ‘‘ extra,” and if not, they set the thing down asa humbug. As forthe “Sun” office, it is noted for its imposition on newsboys and the public by the issue of all sorts of humbug “extras,” from the balloon hoax, down to the daily hoaxes it practices on every possible occasion. It seems that other offices are now busy in imitating that catchpenny concern. Si.as Waicut.—This is an extraordinary man, apart from politics. He has a small farm near Ogdensburg New York, to which he went someten years ago, leaving his profession, which brought him thousands per annum. for about $300 a year, which is earned by the sweat of hix brow. When Martin Van Buren drove up to his house, some years ago, on particular political business, he found Mr. Wright in a linsey woolsey dress, piling stones into heaps to save the scythe of the mowers, when the grass was ready for harvest, one of the most laborious proceed ings that man ever went at ; we have tried it, ond speak knowingly. He has been offered the judgeship, secreta ryship, the nomination for President at the late conven tion at Baltimore, and when nominated for the Vice Pre- sidency, declined it peremptorily. Such is the character and some of the prominent acts of Silas Wright, Senator from New York, and people will be at a loss to know what has caused him totake up farming, and content him- self with being Senator only.— Cin. Commercial. All this we believe to be strictly true. Mr. Wright may be said to be the only pure and honest politician of any party, occupying the high rank he does, that we have known in this State. There can be no mistake about this, for the man who could voluntarily refuse the nomination of Presi- dent of the United States, Vice President of the United States, a judgeship, secretaryship, and every thing else, must have some other principles of action, than the usual motives of ambition which impel all politicians. We consider Silas Wright far superior to Mr. Van Buren in honor, probity, talent, tact, and every thing that consti- be one of the most glorious things if the democracy of this State should nominate him as their candi- date for Governor in the next election. Post Orrick Derartment.—We perceive that Postmaster General Wickliffe is now in this neigh- borhood, and we have no doubt that he will draw a great many sensible reflections on the pre- sent situation of the Post Office Department, by seeing the manner in which his cotemporaries are prospering in the work of carrying letters at acheap rate. The probability is, that Mr. Wickliffe will, before he leaves his office, run the Department, in debt to the amount of a million of dollars, beside: ruining it in public opinion, so that great difficulty these recognized mouthpieces of the two great po litical factions—take in this business, involving a: it does the honor of the country, and the peace and order of the community? Why, they do not utte! a syllable on the subject. They are as dumb as the dogs. There has been seldom afforded a mor: striking and impressive illustration of the cowardice —inefficiency——demoralization— and utter worth lessness of the mere party press, than that a! thiz moment presented by the conduct of the lead ing whig and democratic journals of the city of New York. Just let us pause and reflect a moment on this Here we have two journa's, | (leeting to represeni the two great political piriiea—claiming to have the guardianship of public morality—assuming i powmess all that is patrictic, and honest, and lovely will be experienced by Congress in its re-organiza- tion, Such have been the effects of Mr. Wickliffe’s obstinacy—self-willed obstinacy, in refusing all re- form of the Post Office Department, and particu larly in adopting his narrow and proscriptive pro hibition of the railroads employed by the govern ment, from conveying the newspapers between the large cities. He now begins to open his open hir eyes to the effects of his own conduct. Mapame Cintt Damorkav.—This charming pri- ma donna gives a concert at the Pavilion, New Brighton, on Saturday next. It willbe a delight- ful treat. Larest INtRLLiaRNce.—Gil Davis has just re- ceived a large importation of choice wines, and brandy of the Coney Island brand. “ Avoruer Sgcret anp Horerte Murper. Start not gentle reader at this caption, for we ex- pect every hour to be compelled to endite it asa prelude to the narration of some blood-thirsty deed» the actor in which, asusual, having escaped justice. “Escaped justice,” you will say, “and why?’ Because our system of police is totally inadequate for the emergencies and necessities of this great city, and because there appears no disposition on the part of the public authorities to adopt any sys tem that will meet thes» emergencies. While the Whig party held the majority4 in the corporation, they talked about it until the people became weary and ejected them from office. The Democrats then were ushered in red-hot with premises, and they talked about it until the people were ready to kick them out, whena bill was prepared that com- prised many wise andsalutary improvements,which received the sanction of our legislature. At this crisis, the power, now in possession of the corpo- ration, ascended the throne, avowing no particular political creed, but pledging themselves to carry out such wise and salutary measures of reform as were desired by the people. On examination of the laws and city ordinances they became sudden- ly seized with strange retchings of conscience on the violation of law by the apple women in the Park, and the porter house keepers of the city, and the strong arm of power was brought to bear at this point, with but trifling benefit to any portion of the community. The police of our city—the strong arm to pre. vent crime and secure offenders, has entirely escaped their couscientious notice, as though they were not as much bound by their oaths of office to protect our citizens against rcbbers and assassins, as to protect the laws from the encroachments of apple women and grog venders. The argument against the adoption of the plan of police sanction- ed by the Legislature was, that the Common Coun- cil had power to enact all its best provisions, with- out the assent of that body. This position we wil! not deny, but have they adopted any of these mea- sures? No, not one; nor does it appear that they ever intend to, from their past movements. Since this “reform” party has come into power, they have had full time to re-organize the whole police department of our city, and ensure the protection of life and property to all within it, but they have performed nothing. The democratic watchmen have been removed, it is true, and partizan friends appointed. A portion of the Mayor’s marshals at- tached to the police offices and ward courts have been turned out of place and partizan friends ap- pointed in their stead. The terms of two police magistrates have transpired, and two “American Republicans” have been elevated to the bench, but the present inefficient system of police has not been changed one jot or tittle, and we are stili going on in the same old way, hit or miss, by chance or accident, geod luck or stumbling, 1 secure offenders, and rid the city of the violators of law. To justify our position, let us ask in wha important case that has transpired here for years. has an arrest been made, except by blunder or ac- cident, and what secret and premeditated murdei has been disclosed through our system of police ? Look at the murder of Mary Rogers—the assassi nation of Corlis, and the more recent midnight ki! ling of the young fireman in the upper part of our city. Lookjat the recovery of Pomeroy’s trunk, McKee’s carpet bag, Wc., and it will be seen tha: the first named are yet involved in mystery, while the last were disclosed by the merest accident. The Mayor is considered, and is legally, at th: head of the police—the special magistrates are st lected to entertain violations of criminal law, and aid the Mayor in preventing and decreasing crime. They receive the round and handsome in come of $1,600 per annum for less than six month:’ services, and grow fat and lazy in their seats, while crime is heaping up for their disposal. The same reason that prevents any efficient or concert- ed action on their part to repress crime, also ex tends itself to every officer under their control— that is, petty jealousies, party feeling, and lack oi energy and courage to do their whole duty, such as they were appointed to perform, and such as th: community certainly expect in return for the money ey, pay annually, During the administration of the late Mayor, the magistrates had reason to shuffle out ef responsi vility, from the fact that he, in many instances, as. sumed the control and direction of eriminal cases, that should have been sent to the police office to: disposal. They can have no excuse of that cha racter at present, as Mayor Harper cenfines him- self to those duties for which he was speciall, elected, and interferes with no business that shoul properly come before the magistrates. Let them, therefore, as a body, combine their experience anv judgment, at once, and select such portions of th: police bill adopted by the legislature, as are wis: and judicious—and others that are deemed ne- cessary, and present them to the Common Coun cil forthwith for their advisement. Let Jus tice Taylor, of the upper police, with his sound judgment, and Justice Matsell, of the lower police, with his experience and efficiency, move i: this matter. Let the wisdom of Justice Merrit: and the age of Justice Gilbert be added to the con sultation. Let the frank, honest, ete advic« and counsel of Justice Job Haskell be intermin gled, and the ee knowledge and opinion of re cently appointed Justice Drinker, be added to th: list. “Let them frame a plan, with the necessar; assistance of the police clerks, and then call in th: aid of the District Attorney, counsel of the Board committees ot Police, and such other officers a+ they may think proper. After this consultation, Je! that plan be presented to the Common Council, anc in torty-eight hours afterwards, it will become « law and receive the approbation of the whole com munity. This can be accomplished forthwith, an: nothing will prevent it, save miserable, petty jen lousy of feeling and party animosity, that aieale never be allowed to enter the minds of any public officer while in performance ot his public duty Whenever such feeling obtains possession, an: finds vent, that officer not only violates his oath but engenders the seed that destroys the foundatio: of the true administration of public justice. Fanaticism In Reticion.—The deplorable scenes recently presented in Philadelphia, and also in IIli- nois, and elsewhere, discover the sad influence ex. erted by religious fanaticism, when introduced int: public and political affairs. The deplorable event: which we now all deplore, may be traced with ma thematical certainty to their legitimate source—tc the conduct of those religious teachers who, during the last fifteen or twenty years, have been in- flaming and stimulating the religious bigotries and prejudices of their sectarian followers. We allud: to the controversialist clergy of all sects. Now, if any correspondent would go back to thi: subject, and collect, with impartiality and acumen, the facts illustrative of the movements of Dr Brownlee, Dr. Cox, Dr. Potts, Bishop Hughes, Dr Moriarty, Dr. Wainwright, Joe Smith, Mr. Kirk, Dr. Sparry, Dr. Cheever, and all those religious teachers who have stirred up the evil passions o! opposing sects, it would throw great light upon the origin of these scenes of civil discord. We are in no danger of a dissolution of the Union from sectional differences—trom any discussion of the slavery question—or from any mere politica agitation. But we are in danger in consequence o} the presence and influence of religious bigotry of all kinds, and religious fanaticism, introduced and kept alive by weak and insane teachers of religion, under the pretended sanction of that christianity w ich they blasphemously trample upon and des pise. We already see the effects of this. Accivent at THE Excavation or THE TUNNEI At Brooxtyn.— Yesterday we heard that some five orsix individuals had lost their lives in pursuing thei: avocations near this spot, but we are happy to say that as regards the loss of life no such occurrenc: took place. Shortly after one o’clock, a piece o| earth fell, between Henry and Atlantic streets, which buried beneath a person of the name of Ed ward Conolly, together with a horse and cart. In a short time they were extricated from the rubbish around, and the sufferer was conveyed home. where we find that at a late hour last evening he was going on well, there being little else than con tusions experienced Louisiana Exvgction—We have received scat tering and incomplete returns. It is reported in New Orleans that of members to the legislature the Whigs have elected seven and the Democrat- three, There was some doubt and trouble there in consequence of what are called the “ Elliot’ certificates. To-day’s mail will probably bring some decisive accounts, Arrival or tHE Boston Ligut InranTRY Yesterday the balmy air of morning was. redolent of music, and never since the martial days of Wil- liam the Testy, when the warlike trump of Antho- ny Van Corlaer was wont to blow terror into the enemies of Manhattan, did this city resound to strains more sonorous, sweet and inspiring, than those of the Boston Brass Band. Perhaps there was something in association The élite of Boston prowess—the veritable ‘ Tigers”—were marching in measured and military paces—just two feet and a half each step—to its melodious crotchets and quavers. It will be understood, that we use these terms exclusively in} a musical sense, for in any other they are inapplicable here. There ‘was no quavering in the firm and serried ranks of the “ Tigers ;” no crotchet shooting across the sprightly minds of these “light” troops, averted the eye fromthe line of march. ‘ Eyes right” was the word, and eyes right was the motion. ‘*Com- pany, by the light, dress,” from the commander, but the “Tigers” had executed the dressing part even before the order; their toilette bespoke it; # very beautiful uniform showed the efficiency of “Tigers” in this special tactic; and, indeed, on the score of making them “dress,” the gallant com- mander may make himself very easy. A good natured friend, notmuch acquainted with the real or mental value of cognomens, remarked that he saw no resemblance in the ‘Ti gers” to any of the feline species, of whic! that animal is a member—except in their very brilliant and variegated outside, which Buffon specifies as beautifying that otherwise re- pulsive and ferocious race. Our friend said that this race are eminently attached to particular lo- calities, rarely moving thence, but when bent on sanguinary deeds; whereas, these “Tigers” were on a foreign excursion of pleasure—exposing them: selves to be shot at by the arrows of many bright eyes—and no telling how many might be wound- ed or miss-ed in the adventure; he even became very loquacious about their superior powers of fighting inffa jungle onjthe banks of the Ganges; when we thought time to put a stop to his delusion, hy in- forming him that these few citizen soldiers were “Tigers” only in name; and that to save him the trouble of philosophizing, and for the sake of being agreeable during their period of foreign service they were willing to drop the title, and be simply “lions” while in this city. That the Boston Light Infantry will be so as long as they honor us with their presence, is due to them ina double sense—on account of their brigh: character as soldiers, and also their courtesy a: citizens, of which the present friendly visit is a: illustration, We are glad of the civic honor paid to them by the Mayor and Common Council, who, with much good taste, gave them a formal rece; tion in the Park, and witnessed, with admiration, their masterly evolutions. In company with the New York Light Guard. under the command of Capt. Vincent, the Bos- ton troops, fifty-six strong, and under the command of Major John C. Park, repaired to Brooklyn where the Light Guard of that city gave them » warm reception, and escorted them ona visit t General Underhill, and the Navy Yard. They stopped several hours at Brooklyn, and uttractec much notice. At three o’clock, they returned by way of the Fulton Ferry, took their line of march up Fulton street, halted and piled arms at the 4:- tor House, where preparations on a large scale to receive and entertain them were in process of com- pletion, under the immediate supervision of Stet gon, determined to convince his guests that the ar: of cookery is brought to as great a degree of per fection in their establishment, as the art of war i in the field and camp. Indeed,we have it on goo: authority that there was}a very bloody “affair” be tween the corps de cuisine and a strong force of fish, quadrupeds and fowl, in anticipation of the festivi ties; some of the latter died game to the last ; by all accounts there wasa great loss of life, but it is less to be regretted, as it put such life into a whole dinner party in the evening. Tue Dinner. At seven o’clock, the New York Light Guard, with their guests the Boston “Tigers,” sat dow: to a most sumptuous dinner,® prepared in the be-i style of the “Astor” The two companies num bered over a hundred, but the aggregate of the so- cial party amounted to close upon two hundred, as a great many guests were invited. Amongst these we noticed Major General Sandford, Brigadier General Morris, Brigadier General Keeler; General Godwin, of Paterson; Brigadier General Tyler, of Massachusetts; Capt. Howard, revenue service ; Alderman Cozzens, Mayor Sprague, of Brooklyn, &c. &c. Letters of apology were received fron Mayor Harper, Col. Bankhead, and officers of 2¢ regiment of U.S. Artillery, who were under or- ders for Philadelphia. Capt. Vincent of the City Guard presided. After the cloth was removed, the following regu- lar toasts were given from the chair:— ‘rhe President of the United States. The Governor of the State of New York. The Mayor of the City of New York. ‘The Mayor of the City of Brooklyn. Mayor Spraave returned thanks. ‘The Army and Navy of the United States. Our Guests, the Boston Light Infantry—With a soldier’, welcome,we again receive them with the sincere greetin; of long established friendehip. eee Park responded to this toast in a neat speech, which elicited very hearty applause. General C. W. Sandford, and First Division of NewYork State Artillery. The ‘Tenth Division of New York State Infantry. The Memory of General Warren. Drank in so! lence. By Gen. Miller, of New Jersey— The “ Union Blues,” of Newark. By Gen. Godwin, of New Jersey— General Tyler, of Boston. General Ty.er returned thanks. He alluded very happily to the former visit of the Boston “T: gers” to this city in 1826—to the improved mean: of inter-communication by steamboats and rail roads, which, together with the growing custom of their friendly military visits were very efficient agents in promoting the unity and consolidating the power of the country. He gave the followin: toast :— ‘The bands of social intercourse—stronger by far than the iron bands that affords the means of communication The Chairman then gave :— The Brooklyn Light Guard. Brigadier General Morris. General Morris responded briefly, and facetiously alluding to Major Park as a temperance man, gave, The Light Guard and the Light Infantry—like twc drops of water, they mingle naturally, being both of the same pure element. The Vice President, Lieut. Stetson, gave— The Light Infanfry and the Light Guard—light by name, but solid by nature, Several volunteer toasts were with the same hearty good will, and full honors that attended those from the chair. Appropriate airs were played by the bands after each,and round: ot hearty cheers that bespoke the merry mood an¢é joviality of the citizen soldiers. The company, too happy together, did not par! till a late hour, and all seemed duly impressed with the magnificence of the banquet provided for thit memorable occasion by Messrs. Coleman & Stet son, the latter of whom is Lieutenant in the Ligh Guard, and distinguished himself during the whole evening, as Vice President, by a succession of jeux desprit, a couple of good speeches, and numerou: appropriate toasts, in Bi- Rreneey and drank U.S. Troors ror PuriapeLrnta.—We under. stand that orders were received by Col. Bankhead yesterday for a detachment of the Second Artille- ty to proceed immediately to Philadelphia to take eharge of the U. 8. Arsenal’ and other public pro- perty there situated, In obedience to these orders company K, numbering 80 men, under command of Captain Smith, Lieutenants Luther and Chase, three experienced and gallant officers, were to leave the city this morning in the half-past 5 o’clock train for Philadelphia. Tut Mormons.—We have no later news of con- sequence from the Mormons. The accounts ar still contradictory as tothe mode of killing the Smiths, Woot rrom tHe Praintes.—The St. Lowis New Era, of the 29th ult., chronicles the arrival in tha pk d of thirty bales of wool from the Prairies of Illinois and adds the remark" The receipts of this article hav: increused very much within the last season, and it wil not be long before it will become one of the principal ar ticles of export from Illinois.” Missouri wes equa advantages, and it the Cg ay rate of duties on wool i continued, the growth of the article in these two State w ll increase with great ravidity. The natural growt] upon their uncultivated prairies, it is estimated, will b sufficient to sustain thirty millions of sheep. ‘Trans-AtLantic Steam NavicaTion.—We have not heard with what success Captain Hosken has met, in his exertions to establish a line of Ameri- can and British Ocean Steamers, but we hope that he has met with encouragement. This matter is one of no little moment tous at this time. It has increased in importance in the ization of a line of steam packets, each to be equal in power to the Great Western, as absolutely ne- cessary. We have all witnessed the success of the “Cunard Line,” and it steamships runoing to an outport, like Boston, prosper, even with aid from the British government, we should think that, a line, making this great commercial emporium its western terminus, might succeed,jeven without aid from government. This view has become a fect with us, and we do not entertain a doubt of fair dividends to shareholders ina New York company. Of this, however, anon. Tt appears by our last accounts from Paris, that the French government have not abandoned their “‘Trans-Atlantique” steam ships, and there are plenty of indications that we shall yet have a line of tri-color steamers shooting through the Narrows every two weeks. According to these accounts, the Chamber of Deputies had appropriated 20,000,000 of francs, for the improvement and widening of the docks at Havre to receive the steamers, no dock at that port at present being sufficiently large for them, We may, therefore, soon expect to have four splen- did French ocean steamers running over the broad Atlantic’ in opposition to the four fine British steam packets already in commission. These two distiact foreign lines, controlled by two governments, plainly show that our own government ought tobe moving in the matter, and have a line also on the ocean, to forma drill schoo! for young American officers, engineers and sea- men, if for nothing else. It would be far better to have four or six steam ships like the Princeton, tor instance, to be officered and manned as steamers of war, and have them run regularly to Liverpool, London or Havre, as passenger and mail packets, than to have an equal number ef frigates rot- ting at the navy yards. They would more than pay their daily expenses; be the mean: ot furnishing to the nation a set of efficient naval officers and engineers, and be always ready for service in the event of a war.

The Fire Department of Cleveland, Ohio, took | a prominent part in the rejoicings of the day. They | met atthe engine house No. 5, where a sumptuous | entertainment was provided. The horn of plenty poured out its contents ;fand a speaking horn of silver was presented by Engineer Outhwaite to the successful competitor, No. 5Company. There was a mighty demonstration of Odd Fellows, and another by the Germans. The first dined together, which was neither an odd nor singular method of proceeding. is : A report of the doings at Millford show that its people were not behind hand in their arrange- ments. The dinner was a choice affair, and se- veral worthy, patriotic and sentimental toasts pro- moted the sociableness of the evening. The ora- tor of the day was A. L. Cushing, of Boston. The Anniversary of Independence was celebrated at Boston with uncommon splendor. Military sa- lutesjand the ringing of bells, ushered in the dawn, As the sun marched on in his diurnal course, 80 did the brilliant processions. At ten o'clock, the Mayor and Aldermen received their fellow-citi- zens in the City Hall, whence they repaired to the Tremont Temple, where divine eervice was per. formed, and an oration by Mr. Chandler. A dinner waseerved at Faneuil Hall, at which the Mayor pre- sided. The ‘‘Truckmen,” as well as the “ Young Mens’ Democratic Association,” had a procession, as also the Sunday School children, and Whig Club. The Boston Clay Club has had a superb dinner, at which Senator Berrien made a long and eloquent address in responding to one of the toasts. The pyrotechnic display is said to have been bril- liant, and attracted crowds of spectators. : There was agreat mass convention of the whigs at Concord. The rallying point was the old battle ground of 1775. Daniel Webster was their and poke. The day was wound up bya dinnerina mammoth tent capable of holding 10,000 persons, besides rations. It wasa large affair. The Bangor procession was conducted by the democrats exclusiyely. The Hon. Levi Wood- bury was the orator, and is said to have made an admirable effort. Altogether it was one of the largest and finest meetings that had ever been seen there. i By late accounts from the Capitol, we learn that the same high spirited enthusiasm pervaded all ranks, and gave a coloring to every rpublic_move- mentenJuly 4th. The came absence of violence or excess marked the national festivities. At Alex- andria, Skater’s Hill, Georgetown, Piney Point, this was observable in an equal degree. There was an accident on board the “ Sidney” steamboat, which wasnear proving dangerous. In returning from a trip, the shaft of the engine broke, and was compelled to remain with her passengers all night in that position, but they contrived to solace them- selves, 3 dancing sill day, assured that they should ‘all get home in the morning.” Portland was thronged to excess on the fourth; from all parts of the Staie the people flocked an gave an impulse to the cause of patriotism and temperance, that will continue to be felt. The pro- cession extended a mile. The Rechabites, the Temperance Truckmen, the Catholic Temperance Society, were among the ranks. A vessel called the “© Washingtonian,” well rigged and manned, com- manded by Capt. Jno. Williams, bore a conspicuous part. Arrived on the Common, the rounded and took in all sail—luff’d and bore away to avoid the trees—an unusual impediment to navigation—most expertly. There were numerous applications for celiie and deck beside by this famous overland “brig,” the whole of which the gallant Captaia was constrained to refuse, all berths being previ- ously secured. Governor Anderson presided at a large meeting in the open air, no house being found large enough to contain the temperance forces, which were legion. | 5 The cordial reception and marked honors paid to Gen. Dearborn, at Providence, form a very strong feature of their rooicloas. The Governor, Mayor, citizens, and military officers, paid their personal respects to him, and the cheers were deafening when he made his appearance at the mass meeting. Tt gives us pleasure to be still able to say that order, unamity and the best feeling characterized the proceedings in every place, a very pleasing con- sideration for all who love their country. Travian Oprra.—We are at a loss for words to speak in becoming terms of Damoreau and her Rosina The public were prepared for something extraordinary, but not fora chef d’euvre like that which drew down, last evening, the most vociferous applause an artist ever reaped. Every note the gifted prima donna sung—and she hardly leaves the stage —was a diamond of the purest water, every fioritura a garland of the most delicate hues, the whole set off by an action, distinguished not so much through a sowbrette-like flirtation, than a most charming coguetterie. What a pity that not all our young ladies ‘taking Italian singing les- sons”, were present, to learn to study a method which is everywhere considered the best, and which no teacher can impart. What an exu- berance of brilliancy and elegance in her ad- mirable ‘“‘wna voce poco fa”! What an un- equalled perfection in the duetto concertante, with Artét, who stole from Orpheus the se- cret of subduing every violence o1 feeling, and calling forth the sweetest emotions of the soul! Great as were all the morceauz with which Damo- reau has been delighting her admirers—that is every body who hag heard her—to this “‘una voce,” they are like ‘“‘a wart to Ussa.”” Why did she not gratify the universally expressed wish tor an encore; this is the only fault that can be found with the cruel Rosina, who, we hope, will delight us once more before hei departure. ‘ On the whole, the performance of the Barbiere, will be recollected by the public asone of the most perfect musical treats ever afforded. De Begnis was the quintessence of a Figaro ; ly, witty, full of tricks and humor, and Sanquirico maintained his position as the best Bartholo after Lablache. Antognini was not in very good voice, and was therefore not so efficient a Count Almaviva as was expected. The transitions from the chest voice to the sotto voce were too abrupt, nor was the “ medi- wm tenuere Ceati” sufficiently observed. There were notwithstanding several good points in it, as in the Cuona sera, which he sung capitally. The attendance was very geod—the applause immense. ~ Humbug.
