[Correspondence of the Herald } Wasuinoton, Tuesday, July 16, 1844. Wonderful Success of Newspaper | The Federal City—Moral, Social and Potitical Ad- Literature. - Monday, we published a third edition of many thousands of the Illustrated Weekly Herald, con- taining an account of the riots in Philadelph We have now printed a fourth edition of just as many thousands, to supply the demand for the “* Great Western,” and packets yet to sail. The manner in which this ifustrated Weekly Herald has been received by the public has asto- nis ed even us, who were long since prepared to be astonished at nothing. Many attempts have been heretefore made to establish pictorial papers in this city, but from their invariable want of suc- cess, the poverty of the effort, want of talent and genius in managing it, it was supposed that such a thing could not be made to succeed here. We have shown, however, that such a paper, if proper- ly got up, is certain of receiving ample patronage and support. One of the most curious results of the popularity of this paper has been, thata great proportion of the recent sales have been amongst the Irish—the most pious and determined followers of Bishop Hughes, who bought the beautiful illustrated Herald in the very face of his bull of excommunication ‘against all who would touch or look at the Herald. We mean to continue at proper intervals, and as occasion may require, the publication of Mlus‘rated Weekly Heralds. We have four or five artists al- most constantly in-our employment; and we are prepared to give graphic illustrations of the pro- gress of society, and all important events in the most expeditious, accurate, and graphic style. As soon as the excitement of these riots is over, we shall enter on the work of illustrating the manner in which the two great parties are conducting the Presidential contest, by means of engravings, of the beauty and excellence of which no one can form any conception until they are published.

Zadok Pratt—Bureau of Statistics—War and Navy Buildings—List of Patents tor General Circulation—National Monument to Washington, $e. &e. In the general dearth of news, incidents, rumors, speculations, and peculations, at head quarters, we have thought it would not be unworthy your extensively circulated paper to make a draft upon the journal of the last session of the House of Re- presentatives relative to its action upon appropria- tions proposed for the Federal metropolis. The seat of the national government, among civilized countries, is properly sought to be made, by the national authorities, the exponent of the morals of the people—of their taste and liberality in architecture, benevolent institutions, and the fine arts, and of their general character as a com- petent and munificent sovereignty. The people of the United States, in common with the citizens of other enlightened and refined rations, are justly proud of their Federal Capitol—of its tasteful and classic public edifices—of the beauty and skill ex- hibited, and the munificence apparent, in the adornments of the public ways, gardens and build- ings. These are matters of honest and commend- able pride—a pride which, entertained in common the citizens of an extended empire, tends pily to consolidate the affections of the people in the integrity and preservation of the Union. Again, the encouragement of the princi- ples of beauty and taste in the public edifices and enclogures—of the works of science and of art in the administration of the government—and of the labors and researches ot learned and patriotic men—coatribute to the immediate dissemination, tothe interior and extremities of the country, of the same distinctive evidences of refinement, im- provement, and advancement. But, enough of exordium. 3 _ The House of Representatives at the last ses- sion, from erroneous conceptions of economy and retrenchment, were most wiltully negligent of pro- moting the improvement and beauty of the fed- eral city, and their own convenience and com- fort while resident within it as dispensers of the taws of the land. A factitious and fictitious spirit of prejudice and jealousy seemed to be predomi- nant with the dominant majority. Among the in- dividual exceptions to the general hostility, the people of Washington and the country will com- mend the national spirit of Hon. Z. Pratt, Chai man of the House Committee on Public Buildivgs and Grounds. His numerous reports on subjects embraced within the purview of his appointment, as papers of statistical information merely, are worthy of a general circulation through the coun- try. Among these reports, are included— Ist. A report setting forth the advantages of a Bureau of Statistics and Commerce in connection with the ‘I'rea- sury Department, witha resolution recommending, Bureau The proposition was finally adopted by ing the transfer of three clerks from the General Land Oftice to the details of trade, finances, currency, and com- merce, ad. A rt recommending the conjunction of the War and Navy buildings by a central addition, accoiding to the plan of Robert Mills, Esq., late public’ architect, and the erection of a wing to the Patent Ottice, in furtherance of the original design. Not agreed to. 84. A report and resolution authorizing the appropria- tion from the Patent fund of $10,000 for ‘the purchase of an ample collection of scientific and other necessary books, to provide for the publication and distribution of the descriptions and drawings of the inventions for which patents have been granted ; also, for other provisions ne cessary to give greater efficiency to the office and a more perfect arrangement ef the models and drawings, within the extent of the fund arising from patents ; and that the committee report by bill or otherwise.” Not accom- plished, we believe. A late writer in the Intelligencer, in remarking upon this proposition, says: “ The artizans and mechanics of the United States will be pleased to learn that the Hon. Zadok Pratt, a practical mechanic, has introduced a resolution in the House of Represencatives providing for the publication and engra- ving of all inventions patented in the Patent Office at Washington, which now amount to thirteen thousand five hundred and twenty-three ; and that it is his intention to have copies of these works distributed, at the expense of the office, throughout every town in the United States, so that the numerous classes of our citizens whose genius or talent may lead them to the discovery of new inventions, may know and have constantly at hand a complete com: pend and view of all the models and droughts of the ma- chines for which patents have been issued since the foun- dation of the Government, > « This project is highly meritorious and business-like ; and particularly so, when it is known to be the object also of Mr. Pratt to appropriate out of the patent fund which is now about $100,000, with an annual yield of $10,000, a sufficient sum to purchase and distribute in the same manner a collection of scientific and other necess: books, to be at the disposal and use of the citizens of eac! town and hamlet. It is gratifying to perceive that there is one man at least in our Congress to devote a part of his mind and time to his brother mechanics, ond to the things that are truly useful, instead of following in the general business of President making sud the manufac- turing of public opinion ” 4th. A report and plan for a National Monument to Weshingto inthe form of a circular temple, 120 feet high, of successive stories Supported by columns of di ferent orders, and to be devoted as a repository for busts and statues of distinguished men, national paintings, and other works of art ‘The $40,000 in the hands of the trus- tees from public subscriptions to be appropriated in aid of the work. Nothing done. Sth. A report recommending the enclosure of 52 acres of the naked wall of 150, in frontof the capital, west—and the planting therein of trees—the laying out of walks— the erection of fountains on either side, and of the afore said National Monument in the centre—the square to be called Monument Park—the costs of the work to be paid from the sales CF ay lots within the city, thus avoiding the abstraction of a single dollar from the Treasury. But this laudable and beautiful project of improvement was rejected by the House as a work of fancy unworthy a de- liberate “sober second thought,” 6th. Areport recommending from the different Execu tive departments periodical returns of public expenditures and 1 aye: property in detail. Adopted. 7th. A proposition to appropriote $10,000 to paint the dingy capital. Rejected. It will require $20,000 two years hence. Sth A motion to appropriate $20,000 to the President's House and Grounds. Rejected. The next President can- not be decently installed under less than $40,000. 9th. A resolution directing the removal of the ugly shantee which encloses Greenough’s statue of Washing ton, and the erection of an iron railing around the base o: said statue. Rejected. Also, the bill from the Senate for the improvement of the Pennsylvania Avenue, and every other substitute for the same, even the paltry appropriation proposed of $500 to aid in watering said street. Without contending for the immediate adoption of these several propositions of improvement, we do contend that, without detriment to the public economy, they would have contributed materially to the prosperity of the National Capital and the business of the Government—to the convenience, comlort, pleasure and health of citizens, members of Congress and strangers—to the insurance of re- spect from foreign nations, and of self-respect and pride among the whole people as the sovereign proprietors of the Government estates, and to the advancement of the best conservative interests of the Capital of the Republic and the Republic at = = large. The beautiful public edifices erected during the Presidency of Mr_ Van Buren will immortalize his administration. To any further extension or im- provement of such buildings at Washington the meinbers from the west are generally opposed ; but the reasons of the signal rejection of the claims of the federal city by the last House ot Representa- tives are few and simple. The ultra whig citizens regarded the House as locotoco destructives ; they looked upon the democratic majority as a majority of Jacobins. In public and private they were thus denounced. Revenge, therefore, was one incentive to the withdrawal of city appropriations. Re- trenchment was another. Here retrenchment ht be meade without touching the pockets of a ingle constituent of any member upon the floor Retrenchment was expected by the country, and something had to be done. The saving of afew thou- sands would be doing something ; and they were sa- ved by withholding appropriauons from the public groundsand edifices of Washington—appropriations which the conveniences of the administrative de- partments, not less than the health, the adornment, and advancement of the city, imperiously demand They will have to be met, and the postponement will not work to an abatement of the expenditures required. Then the $500,000, in British gold, surrendered in trast b rile late Mr. Smithson of England, to be expended in the erection, establishment, and sup- port of a National Institution of Education and Seience at Washington, which were invested in the State bonds of Arkansas, and which bonde have been toa great amount sacrificed in the stock market at 40 per cent discount—this $500,000, thus wasted, remains unprovided for, and the purpose ot the donor disregarded. In this dilemma, the nu- cleus of the National Institute now in existence, and supported chiefly through private enterprise, has given notice of an appeal to private charity in default of public integrity. We have forage The President when last heard from— “ Had gone to the lake of the Dismal Swamp With his bride so loving and true, Where all nigh: long by their fire-fly lamp, He padales her white canoe.” ‘The Dismal Swamp is celebrated for the abun- dance and luxuriance of its mistletoe. Jt is sup- osed that a quantity will be taken thence by the resident to the homestead at Williamsburgh, and hung up in the hall after the fashion of the olden time, when the whole family being collected, they will circle round and under the parasitic ever- Green. Oh! the mistletoe bough.” After which, the President will be required to kiss the late Miss Gardiner. Bos. Rochester. [Correspondence of the Herald.] ~ Rocnester, July 1, 1844. The Great Whig Gathering —Buffoonery and Coon- ery in Extatics—Practical Demagoguism—Anti- Texas—Prohibitory Tarif[s—Governor Seward, and other Small and Large Potatoes. The aunals of electioneering warfare furnish no example equal to the great Whig gathering exhibit- ed in this city on Saturday last. The hard cider revelries of 1840 were completely thrown into the shade ; and if the spirit of old anti-masonic Mon- roe animates every other section of the State, sure enough the people “are risin’ for Harry Clay and Frelinghuysen.” For a month past, the whole county has been raked and scraped, and every coon poked out of his hole to swell the exhibition. Old and young, blind and halt, men and maidens, little girls and less boys, white coens and black, blue coons and grey—all, all, were there, in one grand and imposing mass, staggering and etultify- ing the poor locos, and making each in his indivi- dual capacity look like “death upon the pale horse.” Mr. Dawson, the editor of the Clay Bugle, was high-priest, master of ceremonies, and every thing else upon the occasion. It was truly a dramatic affair; but whether it will tury out comedy or traged , | must let the month of November unfold. He Me D.) boasts of 15,000 persons, alias Whigs, being present; but that for him is a small matte seeing there are only about 6000 voters of that ki ney in the wholecountry. But I hasten to describe, ifdescniction be possible, the exhibition itself. About ten o’clock, A. M., the cortege began to arrive. The rendezvous was on Main street, asyou enter the city from the East. Every town, and Clay Club in the county, together with the differ- ent wards were represented by delegation. They drove up in vehicles of various kinds, headed by a band of music, and displaying flags, coons, foxes, creapings things, and all sorts of devices, at once characteristic of their principles and embleamatic of their political creed. Stages were erected on wagons, drawn by six horses, and each trade and occupation represented, by a number of men spre rently employed at there every day toil. There were printers, and type founders, coopers, carpen- ters, and blacksmiths, shoe makers and last ma- kers, boat builders, and in fine every sort of Home industry, but speculators, were typified in imposing parade. When the muster was complete, the mar- shals arranged the order of the march, and about eleven o’clock, all started, the nume- rous bands striking up in| one harmonious blast, the enlivening tune of ‘Old Van Tuck- er,” to which one of the most spirit stirring of the Clay melodies isset. Slowly, with allthe pomp and circumstance becoming so magnificent a spectacle, the cortege moved along ; traversing all the princi- ple streets of the city. When the bands ceased playing, the Glee Clubs would strike up, in an ago- ny of enthuziasm, some Seed melody, to a still mere appropriate tune, such as “That Same Old Coon,” “ Jump Jim Crow,” and “ Jim Along Josey.” As each trade passed the office of the “Clay Bugle,” a shout was raised asa token of re- spect to the presiding genius of the festival, George Dawson, Esq , he being the originator of this new variety of electioneering clap trap. This, of course, was but giving to Cwsar Cwsar’s due. After having ‘ot the order of procession arranged to his mind and fairly under way, Mr. D. himself took his station at the head of the printers and printers devils of his of- fice, and sleeves rolled p,commenced the process of getting out a number of the ‘Clay Bugle,” contain- ing a full, true, and particular account of this gala day in old Monroe. He was inspired by the great occasion, and composed and set up in type, at one and the saine time, the vibrations of his brain.— (By the way, ! need inform you, Mr. Editor, that according to a new discovery in mental philosophy, thought is but a vibration of that organ.) ‘Well, after showing the Saping mulutude all that was to be seen,the actors in this political drama and aew species of electioneering bufloonery, bent their steps to Washington eee to hold the pow-wow that was to close the play. Ex-Governor Seward and John A. Collier,were the chosen orators of the day, and the former led off. Mr. Seward posses- tor rather I ought to say now, possessed) con- siderable reputation as a speaker in this latitude.— On several small occasions, and at the agricultural fair last year, he had made rather pretty speeches He delivered himself with ease and grace ; and although his efforts require but a happy collocation of words, still he was esteemed an erator, head and shoulders above the common run, All expected a treat, and accordiugly went prepared. But I assure you, sir, all, yes all, were sadly, most sadly disappointed. The locos were delighted, and the whigs put on faces only equalled tn length by the one exhibited by Dr. Duncan in the House of Representatives, as descriptive of those of the whigleaders on hearing of the nomi- nation of Polk. It was clearly seen thatall looked upon the speech as a devilish poor affair. One Irishman, in my hearing said; “‘by Jasus, its a faux paux entirely.” Another manremarked—‘‘After all, Bennett was right—he is small potatoes.” Mr. 8. commenced by classifying he Presiden- tial candidates before the people for their suffrages, and speaking to their several merits, he soft soaped the abolitionist and lauded Mr. Birney to the skies —he cracked a stale joke at the expense of Mr. Tyler, and passed Mr. Polk witha very brief notice indeed. It was best, he thought, to say little about men, but proceed to measures; so he attacked the res, State and national, obliquely defending his own policy of running the State in debt, so that her stock was nearly unsaleable in the market, and going it strong for internal improvements on the high pressure system. He threw out a few very original ideas,when on this subject, in regard to emigrants. They were a new kind of soft soap, but I cannot take timeat present to go too far into de- tail. He then touched on home industry—shunned the mention of a Nationat Bank, and denouaced the ‘Texas Annexation; but on each and all of the subjects which came under his review, he uttered aothing new, little profitable, and not a solitary idea worthy of remembrance. He spoke as if his heart was notin the work. He was stiff in manner, yeurile in matter, deficient in fluency, and total- ly devoid of earnestness. We have scores of men here, on both sides, who could have distanced him, After he had exhausted himself, and tired his hearers, Mr. John A Collier followed him. He confined himself chiefly toa defence of Mr. Se- ward and the Whig State Policy, as to internal :mprovements—what they had done, and what they would do—and to the Texas question, which he, of course, went dead against, in any shape They think they are making capital out of this at the North, but for every 5 per cent they make here, they are losing 50 at the south, and 25 at the west; for the people of the West, connect in some sort of sympathetic bond, Texas and Oregon, ani the h.gs in Congress opposed all action on both ques- tions. Mr. Hardin, of Mlinois, Dr. Bacon and Mr. Thayer, of New Yerk, followed in order, and wound up the speeches, and the few that remained seemed heartily glad when the in- fiction was over. Without seeking to exaggerate, or set down aught in malice, this part of the busi- ness was exceedingly dull and most unprofitable, During the whole two hours Goy. Seward spoke, not a cheer was raised to give point to his wit, or force to his argument. In the eyenind some 300 got together in the Clay temple, (it will hold a thousand to fifteen hundred) and Mr. Somebody from New York fiuished the exercises of the day. He was fluent enough, but it was words, words, words, and nothing but words. He eulogized Mr. Van Buren, and abused the locos for not nominating him. No doubt he had a per- sonal feeling in the matter, as he, like hundreds of other stump orators, had lost most of his stock in trade thereby. It is, afterall, amusing enough, to hear ‘them there fellows” praising the man on whom they have been heaping abuse, most fou! and unmitigated, for ten long years. This isa kind of hypocricy which would shame Old Nick him- selt. T have thus, Mr. Baie wives you briefly a faith- ful chronicle of this grand and imposing whig ma- nifestation. It wil forma curious feature in the history of the times, from the new elements intro- duced into the election, and for which George Dawson, Kisq., of the ‘Clay Bugle,” oun. doubtedly be immortalized, ‘To his daring genius, Paterson. [Correspondence of the Herald.] Parensow, July 15, 1844. Strike for Wages. The table cloth weavers of Paterson held a meet- ing on Saturday last, when it was unanimously resolved to send deputations to the various manu- facturers of those goods to solicite them for an ad- vance of wages, equal to the reductions that had been made upon them the past two years, which amounied to 20per cent, and which the operatives think themselves entitled to according to the present scale paid in Philadelphia and New York. The deputations waited uyon the respective manufac- turers, when Messrs. Turtuns and Mr. Parker re- fused to pay any advance, and the Messrs. Pres- the whigs will owe their success, if in the north and east, ‘* Home industry,” so practically exem- plified, prove as Prenat as coonskins and log cabins did in 1840. i " It is bringing the tariff question in a tangible shape before the face and eyes of the people. It is difhicultto make them, by long abstruse arguments, understand this complicated issue, but insuch exhi- bitions they may be sung into the belief that the locotocos desire to destroy «ll ‘* Home Industry” by their tariff doctrines. We live in a wondrous age, and who can deny the fact, that we are won- derfully wise in our day and generation. Hurrah for whig electioneering. There is nothing after ull like humbug. Your’ Qvasimopo. Mops Srreit i Canapa.—Notwithstanding the holy horror of the Canadians at the “‘ dreadful state of society in this Republic,” their own beautiful provinces are in no better, if in so good a condi- tion. We take from the Montreal Herald, the most violent of the provincial press against this country, the fellowing particulars of the mob spirit that seems to reign in the capital of Canada:§) [From the Montreal Herald of July 15} On Friday,—the celebrated 12th July,—we are told that the city washonored with the presence of a grest many Irish laborers troin the quarries and otherworks in the neighborhood,who had come into assist Ay cel eves Orange Procession, of which, for the first time since the toundation of this city there had been some rumor, but it was confined chiefly to those who are opposed to such demon- strations. These people seemed to have forgotten that a stringent law had been lately passed prohibit- ing party processions of every kind, and that, con- sequently, no Orange Procession was at all likely to take place, even it such a procession had ever taken place before. The persons who came into town to prevent it by striking, or perhaps murdering, those who were to form a pert of it, having no opportuni- ty of venting their fierce passions on Orangemen. looked ont during the day for others. Some o them, accerdingly, seeing a lady coming into town in her carriage with a bouquet in her,hand,in which among other flowers there happened to be two or three yellow lilies, valiantly stopped her horse, and ordered her in a threatening tone to destroy the bouquet. The lady being the wife of an American gentleman, and an American herself, could not comprehend what had raised the fury of the sav- age, but being terrified at his violence, she threw the bouquet to him and called for help. Several gentlemen ran to “er assistance, and the villain dis- appeared. This took place in the streets of the city < Montreal, the Capital of Canada, in the forenoon. nother lady, we are told, whose shaw! was bor- dered with figures of different bright colors, and among the rest yellow, was insulted twice by ruf- fians who stopped her on the streets of the same well ordered capital, the residence of a Governor General, and enjoying the protection of—what-do- you-eall-it—a police force. In the evening, a few friends assembled at a respectable tavern in the Main Street, Quebec Suburbs, to dine, and were quietly enjoying themselves, when the house was assailed, about ten o’clock, by a large body of men, apparently laborers, to the number of 200, and the windows broken in by volleys of stones We are told that about 200 more were scattered in knots, here and there, in the vicinity of the tavern, but we have not heard that any person was hurt, nor that any resistance was offered. About the same hour the house of J. Dier, innkeeper, Griffin- town (the gentleman who was nearly murdered by the Irishmen from the Canal at the last election), was attacked by a crowd of ruffiians, the win- dows and window sashes were broken in pieces, and other damage done. The party had hovered about the neighborhood for some time, and on three whistles being given, the attack commenced with stones, many of which weighed trom two to three pounds. A stonebreaker’s hammer was also thrown in, After breaking all the windows, the mob retired, but being met by some one ina ca- leche, whom they seemed to obey, they returned, and gave another volley. Soon after, the Mayor arrived, with what used to be the police, and the villans ran off. Mr. Dier is one of the most inof- fensive of individuals; he never was, nor is he now an Orangeman; neither had he—as has been cir- culated by those interested—any orange lilies, or other orange flowers, in his window during the lay. On the wharf, a temperance meeting was held in the evening of the same day, at which Dougall and Wadsworth spoke. While the latter was allu- ding to the extraordinary change for the better which the temperance reformation had produced here, and more especially in Ireland, and amongst Insh emigrants, a disposition to create disturb- ance was manifested by individuals among the audience, who utiered various cries, and raised ascuffling in the crowd. Some of the police hap- ening to be on the spot, no injuries were received ‘o provocation in any one of these instances was given, none dreamed of, but it would seem that the villains had regularly banded themselves together, as they appeared to act in well drilled concert, at the attacks which were made in the evening. To what a state of things have we not come’? Here we have breaches of the peace, and unmanly in- sults to ladies offered in open day, and on the pub- lic streets, on account of Orangeism—a thing which was never heard of in Montreal until it was thrown into the city at the last election; nay, the term was never mentioned at all uatil it was first. used at Mr. Drammond’s meetings, to create bitterness and hatred against Mr. Molson’s supporters, who were all denominated Orangemen. Since, then, all the supporters of the Governor General in Montreal have been held up as Orangemen to the hatred of those Roman Catholic Irishmen who sup- port the Ex-Ministry. The RomanCatholic French Canadians are decidedly to be exculpated from all participation in thisconduct. They and their Bri tish fellow-anbjects have lived together in perfect harmony and peace as regards religion. They have had their political differences, and they have car- ried them to as great a height as political parties well can carry them, but their animosities have never been embittered by religious feeling. Roman Catholic and Protestant lived in society without ever thinking of enquiring the religious belief of his neighbor, and without heeding what church he went to. But strangers temporarily in our city, by hooting out Orangemen and Orangeism, have suc- ceeded in exciting the passions ot those who have listened to them, and in urging them on to commit assaults on the peaceful citizens of Montreal. ‘We regret to learn that Mrs. Spooner, who had her leg smashed, and was otherwise bruised by the fi ig of the scaffold in Griffintown last week, died on F evening, the second day after the accident. We are told that the scaffolding was totally insufficient, even if the enemies of orange lillies had not driven so many ladies upon it. ‘The matter ought to’ be investigated by » Coroner's Jury. The detestable spirit of Orangeism and Ribbandism ought to be at once banished whence it came. Wehave, God knows, enough of troubles in Montreal, without getting this also thrust upon us. Let a Coroner's Jury be summoned immediately, in order that the whole truth may be elicited. [From Buffalo Advertiser, July 15.) The reported riot at Drummondsville turned out, as we suposed, nothing serious. A party of Orange- men from Toronto, accompanied by their wives, repaired to the Falls to celebrate the anniversary ofthe ‘Batile of the Boyne. On their arrival at Queenston, they were requested by those having charge of the railroad, to take off their badges,with which request they complied, But notwithstand- ing, they'were assailed on their way with oppro- brious epithets by some of the Catholic Irish, who had assembled in anticipation of a row, and some brickbats were thrown at the cars. This was the extent of the riot that rumor so magnified. There was no fight, and no interposition of the authon- ties was requisite to prevent any farther infraction of the peace than we have mentioned. N. E.

Literature, & Tur Constitution anp Revisep Statutes oF tae Unitep States; by Wm. B. Wedgwood, A.

It possesses a vast amount of information, and is written in a plain but beautiful style. ComMMERCE oF THE Prainigs, or the Journal of a Santa Fe Trader,during eight expeditions across the great Western Prairies, und a_ residence of nearl nine years in Northern Mexico—I!lustrated with Maps and Engravings; by Josiah Gregg: in two New York: lenry G. Langley, S Astor House.—No work has recently appeared among us which has so directly addressed itself to the wants and to the curiosity of the public. The late disturbances between Mexico and this country, and the prospect of an interruption of our commercial relations with each other, make all feel more or less interested in knowing the importance and the influence of that commerce; and although our overland trade with Mexico has been exceedingly prosperous for some twenty years, and almostevery capitalist who has embarked in it has made a for- tune, yet there has been no means of procuring in- formation respecting the condition, difficulties and rewards of that trade unul now, except by direct communication with the traders themselves. lo it whatever at all adequate, has ever before be blished, ner has any thing been written al , to the best of our Knowledge, save ocea- letters from the traders themselves to their , which have sometimes been published in obs ure western papers and thence copied perhaps in Eastern journals, [tis to this deficiency, of reliable information that is to be attributed the prevailing ignorance and indifference among our capitalists about the prospects of the Santa Fe Trade ; for it is safe to say that there are few op- portunities now offering for the rapid realization of a fortune equal to that which this trade presents, provided commercial intercourse be not again threatened with suspension and our friendly rela- tions with Mexico give promise of continuance. At this time, as we before remarked, the appear- ance of Mr. Gregg’s book seems particularly oppor- tune, for it supplies the information which 1s se much required. This gentleman’s means of in forming himself of the matters about which he writes have been far more ample than those pos- sessed by any living writer, aad the style and man- ner of the work, we feel convinced, will commend his statements at once to the contidence of the public. As one may readily infer from the kind ot life Mr. Gregg appears to have led during the eight or ten years of his trading life, his narrative 1s tul) of adventure of every kind, und of the most enter- taining sketches of life and manners. This narra- tive is the more interesting asit is made to embrace much valuable historical matter and statistics illus- trative of the early history and growth of the Santa Fe trade. ‘ Mr. Gregg’s style is easy and direct, but withou' any pretension. He owns that he has no vocation tor book-making, but has merely striven to present the most important results of his very rare experi- ence in areadable shepe and with sufficient dis- tinetness to make them be appreciated.

Hosoxen.—Orto Morry’s Penrormances.—It appears that some dissatisfaction prevailed relative to Otto Motty’s standing upon two horses, a leg on each, and driving them the distance of a mile within a short space of time, two minutes and ten seconds, which he had a short time since pertorm- ed over the Beacon Course. In consequence of this dissatisfaction this celebrated equestrian under- took to repeat the task on an open road, and ye terday it came off near to Mr. Perry’s hotel, Hobo- ken. The ground was from this spot to Bergen Hill and bagk. About five o’clock he made his appegrance on the ground, and performed the teat in most exzellent style without stop, stumble or fall, and came home amidst considerable applause. Previous to the foregoing feat, this truly wonder- ful performer went through some of his other per- formances, which, as we have so recently described them, we need not now repeat. Subsequently he went through other performances of a similar de- scription, on the green in front of the house, many ot which were quite novel and truly astonishing and must be witnessed to be fully credited; for in- stance, he stood out from a perpendicular revol ing pole, which had been erected for the purpose, fastened by one leg, and took between his teeth two 56 lbs. weights, fastened together by a hand- kerchief, and two others, one in each hand, and remained with them in this position for several seconds. There were several other teats performed of an equally striking and novel character, which at once astonished (alarmed the ladies particularly) those present, but they were all received with con- siderable applause. : Mr. Perry appears to be taking every pains in affording his visiters amusement of a lighter de- scription, as well as the best of the more solid comforts of life. The Virginia Serenaders are there, aiding in this matter, together with tightand slack rope Mancina phantasmagoria, &c., and one or two goed bands of music. Here every class may have ample enjoyment and recreation— “Old and young, grave and sad, Deat and dumb, dull and mad,” Together with good air and most beautiful ecenery —and, barring the rowdies, (though we sew but few of them yesterday) good company.

Boston Ligut Inrantry.—A toast reflecting on the hospitality extended towards the Boston Light Infantry during their sojourn im this city, was re- plied to inthe Plebeian of yesterday, and a satis- factory reason given for the non-attention shown them, but that apology will not excuse treatment they received a the Navy Yard, ut Brooklyn, and at Governor's Island. At the first mentioned place, after marching some two or three miles under u broiling sun, the officers of “ B. L. 1” were invi- ted to visit the Lyceum, when a drop of water would rather have been received than that costly invitation. As it was, some of the corps fortunate- ly espied a pump near by, at which they slaked thelr burning thirst; thatis allthey received. ‘This will co for hospitality number exe. Now fornum- ber two. They were ted to visit Governor's Island, but no means of conveyance were eflorded them for so doing.

L. [” fainted away, from heat and fatigue ; fortu- nately a little wine was gotten fer him by sending to one of the officer’s quarters. That was the amount, of the refreshment they there received.

Ove or THE Fancy. Mapison Bank Rovrery.—It will be recollected that the Branch of the State Bank of lodiana, at Madison, was broken open and robbed of $27,000 in’ the utter end of February last. Some Safin, the Marshail of Cincinnati, and O'Neil, an ective, intelligy nt wd excellent police officer of that city, obtained ccrtuin information that the robbery was committed by the no torious David Koot. O'Neil visited this city three times lately for the purpose of arresting Root—the last time he was here being accompanied by Mr. Lonier, the President of the bank. At this time Root was imprisoned im the second Municipality workhouse as adangerous and sus picious character, and Recorder Baldwin was too well acquainted with his tricks and villainy to enffer him to ‘eave his place ofgconfinement until the Recorder obtain ed good security that the State should not be infested with David’s presence any longer Lust week the re- quired pond was given, and David left the workbouse, He was immediately arrested by office? O'Neil, placed on board the St. Louis, and is by this iime safely honsed in jail awaiting his trial for the alleged robbery, and shouid he be convicted, there is every probability that the next fourteen years of his life, if he live so Jong and do not escape, will be spent in confinement, where he will he obliged to “do the State some service” Upwards $20,000 of the money stolen was in notes of thi Bank of Indiana, of the denominations of 2¢ 10's, a large portion being 20's.
