NkKW YORK HERALD. ‘ New York, Friday, July 19, 1844, The Mlustrated Weekly Herald. | The illustrated Weekly Herald, which we will publish to-morrow morning at 9 o’clock, will con- | tain a number of engravings, 1l!ustrative of the most Prominent scenes in the Philadelphia riots. One of them will be a representation of the “Head Quarters of the Military,” at the Girard Bank, with the parade of the troops, the seatries on duty, and the crowd of bystanders, talkers, spouters, and others, mixing promiscuously in the throng. An- other will represent the fatal contest at the corner of the streets designated in the description, from which it will appear that the rioters had mounted their cannon on drays, with muffled wheels, and had brought them very quietly to the scene of ac- tion, where they were directed against the mili ty, being uader the management of sailors and other persons who had been initiated at sea into the use of such deadly instruments, and also anum- ber of boys from 16 to 18 years of age. Another of the engravings will represent the church of St. Philip, with the crowd around it, and the groups which were collected in that neighborhood. All of these engravings have been executed from sketches taken on the spot, by an artist who was in the thickest of the melee throughout the whole Period of its continuance. The descriptions accompanying these engravings will consist of the accounts furnished by the pa- pers of all parties in Philadelphia, together with the | from the legally appointed trustees of church pro- | | perty, the privileges conferred upon them by our | not only be prepared to-report it, but we shall also Ecoursiastica, Trranny—Bisuor Hvonss 1x | 41s own Cxurcu.—We publish on our first page a very interesting document, which sheds a flood of | light upon the prineiples and policy adopted by Bishop Hughes in the exercise of his episcopal authority. The circumstances and controversy | connected with the attempt of this prelate to wrest | constitutional laws, must be still fresh in the recol- | lection of many of our readers. It excited a great deal of public attention at the time, and the feeling of indignation at the conduct of the Bishop was very loudly and generally express- ed. Indeed, he felt this pretty keenly, and shortly before his departure for Europe last Spring, Bishop Hughes had actually the mo- desty to send two of his priests to us with a long and elaborate defence of his conduct, in endea- voring to deprive the trustees of the church of St. Lonis of their guardianship of the property, which had been entrusted to their management according to the laws of this Republic. This defence, we need hardly say, was quibbling and insufficient, and as we satisfactorily demonstrated at the tim-, did not in the slightest degree tend to relieve the Bishop from the stigma which his unjust and unpo- pular conduct had fastened upon him. The petition to his Holiness at Rome, which we republish, presents the grievances of the Catholics of Buffalo in a very forcible light. This case ir, indeed, one of peculiar hardship.

There the very same effort has been made by the priesthood to obtain the control and possession of the temporalities of the church, Tyum Movgments ann Dornas.—There were in- dications some days ago of a Tyler meeting to be held in this city. A certain man, bent on immor- tality, by the name of Smith, either John Smith or some of his relatives, was to be the orator of the occasion, The meeting has been postponed to some future day, and perhaps altogether. Now, if this meeting ever comes off, we shall be prepared to expose and develope some of the most curious, rich, racy and astounding facts that have ever been laid before a fun-admiring public. In the course of these developments we shall tell who it was that brow-beat and forced the Baltimore Tyler Convention to the reckless and premature nomination of John Tyler—who opposed that hasty nomination, and advised to await the action of the segular Democratic Convention, then simultaneously sitting—who being whige, acted under whig in. fluence, and what were their immediate motives, and their ultimate designs—who threw dust in President Tyler’s eyes, who forced the President to accept the ill-advised nomiration, and with what pretences and argu- ments—who did all the thinking, and who did all the talking, and who paid all the expenses.— We shall also tell who it is that ‘settled Mr. Tyler’s policy” for him then, and who now persists in driving him and his friznds reck- lessiy upon rocks and quicksands, and who de- nounce all that dare to form an independent opin- ion—who they were that started the movement in this city for another Tyler mecting—who wanted to make that a “ratification meeting,” as they cal who opposed any meeting for such an object—who are compelling John Tyler to assume a threatening attitude towards the Polk and Dallas party—who lay down conditions of a union, and what those conditions are—who it is that have created a divi- sion in the Tyler party, and what their object was ImrorTanT ROM AvRICA—AGGRESSION OF THE Baitisu—The brig Robert, Captain Cook, arrived yesterday afternoon from the west coast ef Africa, with advices tothe 10th ult. We learn from Capt. Cook that the English con- tinue to interfere with the American trade. The British steamer ‘‘ Albert” declared wer against the natives of the river Nunes and blockaded that stream trom the 24th January to the 12th February, allowing neither vessels nor boats of any flag to pass up. On the 7th February the supercargo of the Robert went on board the steamer to ascertain about the blockade. The person in charge, an acting Lieut. in command, said that he had thought proper to blockade the river and forbid the supercargo of the Robert from trading with the natives. The said commander ascertained there were two men belonging to the Robert which were British subjects—he therefore demanded them and was re- fused. He said he would take them by force. One of the men being in the boat with the supercargo at the time was detained on board the steamer, with an order to send the other man immediately or heshould board the Robert, haul down the flag and take him by force. To prevent any trouble the man was sent on board thesteamer. The two men were shipped on board the Robert in this city as seamen. The Elizabeth, of Salem, was blockaded in the river from the 24th January to the 12th February. The Robert and Oriental were detained two weeks and then were obliged to leave the river on account of the war against the natives and the blockade which had matenally injured the voyages of five American vessels which trade to that river. The British brig of war ‘‘Ferrit,” at the leeward fired into two Americaa vessels on the coast. Capt J. was seven months on the coast trading from Gambia to the Rio Ponzas. He saw only one man of war, the Porpoise. She came to the Gambia in January, stopped eighteen hours,then proceeded to leeward.

Tue Party Press ano THE PuitapeLruia Ri- ors —Yesterday the Courier and Enquirer actuul- ly mustered courage enough to say something about the Philadelphia riots. But its article on this important subject was as amusing a specimen of sneaking cowardice and empty verbosity, as has ever been mani ested by that print, which is cer- Buflalo. ‘We sympathise very sincerely with the people o!

Tue Rerorm Party in THR CorporaTtion.—It is gratifying to find that there is a sprinkling of honor tainly giving the article credit for a tolerable infu- \ and fidelity io solemn obligations in the new Cor- sion of the characteristic qualities just mentioned. It wae merely a vague, unmeaning, piece of decla- mation about mob violence. It did not make the slightest approach to an investigation of the causes of these terrible transactions, and could not possi- | bly have any moral effect whatever. The party organs of the democratic faction are still quite silent. The Evening P.st and Plebeian | are still mum. The Albany Evening Journal is | equally mute. The truth, as we stated yesterday— these mere party organs dare not take up this sub- | ject as the independent press have taken it up. | The Courier, in conjunction with the Evening | Journal, was very instrumental in fomenting the | bad passions of the opposing sects, and fanning them into a blaze. These prints had a very im- portant agency in the Carroll Hall movement. | Hence the ready explanation of their silence now, | as they cannot condemn the work of their own | hands. Besides, they dare not say a word against | the ‘‘natives,” for the “natives” have many votes. And the Irish are equally to be respected for the game reason. The Evening Post and other news- paper hacks of that party are in the same predica- ment. Bound hand and foot, given over body and soul to the service of faction, those party presses are utterly incapable of exercising the estas moral influence on the community. How different our course, and that of the inde- | pendent journals possessed of fearlessness and honesty! We have examined this question inall | its bearings. Whenever blame was merited, we hi blamed.

Have the cligue under Derry & Cv. succeeded in their avowed design to oblige Delazon Smith, the great out-and-out Tyler orator, ail the way from Ohio, to “shut up.” Senator Tattmavee.--Thi gentleman arrived in town last evening and puis up at Howard's.

Alderman Cozzens, who fulfils his pro- mises, public or private, disgusted with the inti- nation, however, was not accepted, which explains its non publication in the records of the Common Council. But the probability is that he will per- sist in it. ‘We perceive that the new party have had a meet- ing inthe Third Ward, and discovered at it that old game, neglecting their duty entirely, and do- ing nothing without some sinister and selfish mo- tives.

Everything is in pickle.— Where’s John Smith? Tur Mormon Massacre.—Accounts confirma tory of the fact that Jee Smith and his brother were actually massacred—murdered in cold blood, con- tinue to reach us from the West. There can be no doubt that political feeling entered largely into the popular excitement in that region against the Mormons. It was feared by the Whigs that the Nauvoo people would give material aid to Polk This affords another and most melancholy illustra- tion of the pernicious, demoralizing, brutalizing influence of the party presses, which are daily in flaming the passions of the people by the vilest anc most iacendiary tirades against their respective op- ponents. Besides, Nauvoo was very favorably situated. and from its natural advantages combined with those created by the Prophet, under his singule: government, was very rapidly increasing in popula tion and trade, which excited the jealousy and en- vy of the people of Warsaw, a business place a lit- tle below Nauvoo. The people of Carthage, also. another trading village or town in the interior, were stimulated by the same feelings to oppose the Mormons. These feelings of enmity arising from accursed envy and avarice, were constantly inflam- ed by a blackguard paper in Warsaw called the “Signal.” The conduct of the people of Illinois and Missou- ri towards the Mormons has been brutal and detes- table in the extreme, and discovering the same spi- rit that burned the witches at Salem and the Con- vent at Boston. ‘Tue Giant AND GIANTESS, LATELY AT THE AMERI- to us, by the person who recently had the manage- Consul at Rome, with a request that he may, with- | ment of the New York or Peale’s Museum, in con out delay, lay it before his Holiness. | humbly call upon the Society of the Propaganda to depose Bishop Hughes, and instal in the office for which he is so manifestly unfit, the very Rev.

Lie No. 2 is, that he had no desire to violate his contract; and it wa the writer himself of the above very veracious par. agraph that recommended and made arrangements with the proprietor of the Albany Museum for Mr and Mrs. Randall to exhibit there ; not only so, but wrote to the same gentleman on Saturday last, requesting him to rs se the appearance of thes: ore until the Tuesday, as they were going t ave a benefit here on the Monday—benefit o being incarcerated in a jail.

We do verily be- | lieve that we shall have to go back to one of the | old parties after all. Fourra or Jory 1x Canapa.—We give in another column a highly interesting article from a Kingston peper, giving an account of the celebra- tion of the glorious ‘‘ Fourth” by a large number of Canadians. This is, indeed, tolerably significant. We shall next hear of the annexation of Canada. ComPtiment To AN American Consut.—G. W. Hilliard, Esq., Charge de Affaires from the United States at Brussels, was recently invited and ¢lected a member of the Royal Society of Northern Anti- quaries in Copenhagen. Bank, THE Pinate.—A further respite’of the case of Babe, the Pirate, under sentence of death, was yesterday morning received by the U.

The American merchant vessels suffer more from the insults of the British equadron than by the na- tives on the coast. Trade was dull. American goods were plenty and very low, while African produce was scarce and high. We hope that when this news reaches Washing- ton, our government will immediately send orders to Commodore Perry of the American equadron on the coast of Africa, to either protect our commerce or come home. Furtaer Movements or tHe Boston Licut In- vantry.—Our military visiters paraded yesterday morning ia the Park, as wellas they could for the crowd, whose anxiety to see a specimen of thei) efficient discipline, must have proved somewhat in- convenient. Would that they (the said crowd) had been ducked in the fountain to cool thei) ardor, for there wasno such thing as getting « glimpse at the rear rank, except very rarely, nor at the front one without the utmost effrontery.— Whether it was that the “spirit of the fountain” was chagtined, like ourselves, at the view being intercepted, or that she is too fastidious to tolerate the presence of so many of ‘the great unwashed,” doth not appear, but in reality the crystal waters. bounding in mid air, underwent a transformation, and assumed an opaque and sulky hue, almost a disagreeable as a fit of sulkiness. The famous Boston Brigade Band, however, struck up “Behold how brightly breaks the morning,” and relieved u. of the temporary contretemps. By previous appointment,that beautiful company the “New York Light Guard,” joined their friend- at the “Astor House,” whence they started to gether for Newark, N.J., on a complimentary visit to the “Union Blues” of that town. A con siderable number of citizens went out with them, and a pretty considerable number joined them o1 the way. But there’slimits to every thing, as the fellow said when he smoked,his cigar below wate) mark. The cars could hold no more. In fac there was bitter weeping on the part of many tha: they could not geton to Newark ; and a pretty tai: speculation arose out of the tranfer of “sitting: and standings,” some claiming to pocket the pre- mium, others resigning, content to jog on, on foot, “receiving the difference,” asthey say in the army. There was a mighty gathering at Newark. It appears that the fame of the Tigers had preceded them. A military mania seemed to have got hold apon young and old. There’you might see a brass cannon,manned with juvenile bombardiers,slapping away at “ airy nothing ;” there you could observe precocious engineers to the elbows in defiles oi sand and clay counterscarps, whilst vollies of cha- gers, spitting-devils and buckskin combustibles made the welkin ring. The “ Union Blues” were under arms waiting their friends. They were about fifty-six muskets strong, and certainly made a handsome appearance—every way worthy of the two crack companies, who were their visiters.— They were commanded by Capt. Carter, and were accompanied by a good band of music. The Bos- ton Light Infantry, and New York Light Guard, formed four deep, marched past the position of the Blues, passing respectively the grand salute secun- dem artem ; this ceremony was returned on the part of the “ Blues.” The three companies then marched through some of the principal streets, attended by a vast crowd of young and old. halted at Stewart’s Hotel, partook of some re- freshment, passing half an hour very pleasantly, until “the spirit-stirring drum and ear-piercing file’ summoned them to “recover arms” and “fall in.” The word ‘quick, march,” was given, and a+ quickly obeyed, which the reader, knowing their high discipline, will readily understand, and so we leave them on their march to the Park, for an in stant, and take a peep into Stewart's Hotel, feeling alittle desirous to emulate our military friends ir that interesting part of their duty, the ‘knife anc fork exercise.” It is not necessary to detai any of the proceedings within; it may not be out of the way to observe, however, that ra- tions of fall kinds had"become very scarce; edi- bles had disappeared in amazing masses; there were scouts on the move in search of relish es—orderlies sent out to reconnoitre ordin. aries—sergeants for Sandwiches—and any rice offered by scientific citizens tor specimens ied ing to either the animal or vegetable kingdoms. How it terminated remains in doubt. They liquored and rejoined the forces on parade.
