NEW YORK HERALD. New York, Thursday, July 25, 1844. ANOTHER 1LLU STRATED WEEKLY HERALD! SPLENDID BNGRAVINGS. ILLUSTRATIVE OF THE Early Life of ihe Presidential Candidates. We shall publish another illustrated Weekly Herald on Saturday morning, containing some beautitul engravings, illustrative of the early life of the Presidential candidates now before the country for their suffrages next November. The artists ure now very busily engaged oa therm. One of these engravings will represent that well known scene in the life of Mr. Clay when he went on horseback with his mother’s grist to the mill. This is very beautifully designed and will be well executed. Tt will present a most impressive example to the youth of this country, of the wruth that talent, ge- nius and energy, well directed, can rise from the very humblest rank in lify tothe great and elevated position which Mr. Clay now occupies before the people of this country. Another engraving will represent a scene in the early life of Mr. Polk, who 1s a naive of North Carolina, and is represeated when a boy as chop- ping wood for his mother, and making himselt useful ia an equally humble capacity as that in which Mr. Clay was engaged. This is also another illusirious exaznple of the peculiar character of the institutions and society of the United States, show- tag how mind can rise'trom the lowest condition in the social seale to the very highest; and that there is nothing to prevent the very newsboy who sells this paper through the streets, if he choose to conduct himself with virtue and energy, and pro- priety, from becoming the chief magistrate of this great nation—higher than the kings and emperors of the old world. This Weekly Herald will also contain other illustrations, which will be seen on the day of publication, We intend, now that the Presidential contest has fairly set in, and all the local excitements and riots have ceased, to proceed and illustrate ali the various important incidents in the lives of the two candidates. We shall ulso give graphic and amu. sing sketches, illustrative of the manner in which both parties conduct the canvass. — The Presidential Klection—Singular Dis- cov 1weesDefection of the Van Buren De- o racy from the Ranks of Mr, Poik, We have intimated, on several occasions, soe of the chief reasons which induce us to believe that, ia consequence of the serious defection in the ranks of the democratic party in the middie, eastern and north-western States, Mr. Clay’s chances of election are very good, und those of Mr. Polk rather gloomy. We allude more parti cvlariy to the disappointed feelings of Mr. Van Buren and his friends—the luke-warmness of tic Evening Post, and other jorunals of that calibre the position of the Texas question, as conne :tecd with Mr. Van Buren and Mr. Benton, and their respective personal adherents. These opinions of ours have just received a very retmarkable confirmation. We perceive in one of the papers of this city, an extraordinary disclosure of a private and confidential movement onthe part of the immediate adherents of M Van Buren, which almost amounts to a secret c spiracy to defeat Mr. Po'k, and elect Mr. Clay, and which mast exercise a very impertant influence on the present contest. The New York Plebeian ot yesterday publishes what it calls a coufidentini eircular, issued, it seems, from this city, and, in «li probability, from the office of the Evening Post, signed by anumber of distinguished democrats, and whichis of such a character us must produce a greet degree of excitement and disturbance throughout the whole democratic party. Her+ itis: — [conripenriat } 81a :—You will doubtless agree with us, that the lit Baltimore Convention placed the democratic party at ti North in a position of great ditticulty. We are constas dy reminded that it rejected Mr. Van Buren und nomi nated - r. Polk, for reasons connected with the immedia'« annexation of Texas; reasons which had no relation to the principles of the party. Nor was that all. The con- vention went beyond ‘the authority delegated to its. mem- bers, and adopted a resolution on the subject of Texas, (0 subject not before the country when they were elected upon which, therefore, they were not instructed,) whic! seeks to interpolate into the party code a new doctrine hitherto unknown among us, at war with some of ovr established principles, and abhorrent to the opinions ant fevlings of a great majority of northern freemen. In th position, what was the party atthe North to do? Was it to reject the nominations and abandon the contest, or shoul it support the nominations, rejecting the untenable doc id care that trinv interpolated at the Convention, ani their support should be accompanied wi pression of their opinion as to prevent its being preted? The latter alternative has been preferred ; thivk wisely, for we conceive that a proper expression of their opinions will save their votes from misconstruction and that proper efforts will secure the nomination o! such members of Congress ax will reject the unwarrant able scheme now pressed upon the country. With these views, assuming that you feel on this sul- ject as we do, we have been desired to address you, and invite the cooperation of yourself and other friends throughout the state 1st—In the publication of a jeint letter, declaring ou: purpose to support the nominations, rejecting the resolu tion respecting Texas. 2d—In promoting und supporting at the next elections the nomination for Congress of such persons as concur ji, these opini If your vi # in this matter coincide with ours, please write to sume one of us, and a draft of the proposed letter will be forwarded for examination. Very respectfully, GEO P. BARKER, WILLIAM © BRYANT, J. W. EDMONDS, DAVID DUDLEY FIELD, THEODORE SEDGWICK, THOMAS W_ TUCKER, ISAAC TOWNSEND.

Lawrence—and will be sent to any ot person you may wii This circular is accompanied in the Plebeian by column and a half of very biting remarks. It is de nounced as the fruit of an atrocious conspiracy—as being*‘treason,foul,tederal,abolition{treason,”asthe concoction of a heartless, unmanly, but weak an impotent clique. The individuals who signed thi “confidential” circular are characterized as ene- mies and traitore to American liberty, and as Bri tish emissaries. To all this the Lvening Post re plied at leugth in the afternoon. It refers compl cently io its high Democratie reputation, which |- in no danger of suffering from the assaults of suc! arascally, mean, and untrustworthy paper as th Plebeian. The Post evidently feels very sore abou the publication of the “confidential” letter, and calls the Plebeian a “spy” and a “thief” for giving it tu the world. This is certainly avery funny sort of de- tence. Here has been the Post privately at work concocting and carrying out a most cunning schem: tor the organization of a party in opposition to Mr Polk, and when the secret measure is discovered, it blusters and swaggers, and exclaims—“‘this is in- famous conduct, to publish « private letter!” Thy is like the defence of the incendiary, who sets fir: privately to his neighbor’s house, and who, whe: caught, cries out lustily against those who affectec his apprehension, as “spies” and informers. Hac the movement been an honest, fair, manly, and honorable one, why the necessity for such secresy! But the Post goes on and defends its conduct anc that of its confederates. It repeats the assertio; that a great many of the best and purest met in the democracy are in favor of the movemen) fer rejecting the resclution of the Conventior which nominated Mr Polk in favor of annexation in order that that may be left an open question snd not constitute one of the issues between the wo candidates. Jt even informs us that the move- vat has already assumed « practical character.— is that in the cxanty of Monroe the work o «organization is proceeding gloriously. It state: that the following call, numerously signed has been issued :— “Democratic County Mexrina.—-The Democratic Republicans of Monrce County, who are wd to the ‘wo thirds rule” by the National Conveution, by which @ minority are enabled to dictate to a majority of the erty’; all those who believe in @ strict con of the stitution, and are @ to the exercise of doubiful powers, and who agree with Jefferson, that the Coustitutien does not provide for the annexation of for eign territory to this Unien; those who are opposed to the assumption of State debts, and of the debts of soreign nations; and who are unwilling that the extension perpetuation of slavery should be made part ond parcel of the creed of democracy, are invited to meet at the Court House, in the city of Rochester, on Saturaay, August 3d, 1844, at 10 o'clock A. M.” And, having given this bit of startling intelli- gence, the Post goes on and declares that the great men of the de:mocratic party who go with this movement will not go near the polls unless the plan suggested in the ‘ confidential” circular be adopted. Well, certainly, we would be very un- reasonable, indeed, if we desired further evidence of the present exceedingly comfortable and harmo- nious state of feeling amongst the ranks of the de- mocracy. It is very true that the Plebeian, in its remarks, exculpates Mr, Van Buren from all share in these extraordinary transactions. But this is more a matter of courtesy than reality, so far as we are able to understand it. All those who take part in this movement are the warm, the earnest, the per- sonal, the trusted triends of Mr. Van Buren.-~ They are acquainted with ali his sentiments, de- sires and movements. Who can suppose for amo- ment that, occupying this position, they weuld un- dertake such a movement without his knowledge and sanction? The same cligue were cognizant of Mr. Van Buren’s views on the Texas question be- fore he came out with his famous letter. They sustained him in that. The Evening Post came out with a series of able articles sustaining him, which were attributed, and probably correctly attri- buted, to the very Mr. Theodore Sedgwick who signs this “confidential” letter. We believe that the whole movement has originated at Linden: wald. It looks very much like Mr. Van Buren. It has the mark of his wily, sly, cunning, profoundly sagacious way of doing business. We do not recollect, in all the conflicts and in- trigues of party, a more subtle and cunningly de- vised plan to divide and distract a party than this. The movementhas indeed been organised and put in progress with such sagacity that it cannot but end io \riumph, It will be recollected that some- thing of the same kind was attempted by the Cou- rier and Enquirer in 1832, when the election of General Jackson was pending. The Courier, iu consequence ot certain “appliances” fromthe Uni- ‘A Scenx 1n Baoapway at Niaut.—One ofthose real scenes of deeper tragedy, and more impressive moral, than any ever Witnessed on the stage, and which made up but one trivial incident in the sad drama of the daily life of a crowded city, occured in Broadway last night. It appeare that the watch- men have recently hed orders to apprehend and carry to the “Tombs,” the miserable female out casts, who throng that great thoroughfare; and as we passed Park-pluce, we saw one of them seized, and dragged away by twoof those vigilant guardians of the night. The poor creature struggled hard to escape from the rude grasp of the officers, and much of her gaudy apparel was literally torn into shreds in the effort, revealing charms, rarely equalled a- mongst the most favored of her sex. A crowd col- lected, but no friendly accents of sympathy fell up- on the ear of the victim, and amid the derision of the heartless, and the jeers of the vile, she was dragged away. Wecan imagine but not describe the agony of that terrible degradation, Tne work of the Destroyer wascomplete. In imagination we followed the poor wreteh to her gloomy cell. What visions of the past—what even more agonizing vi- sions of the future, must have hurried through the waking dreams of that long, awful night! We can appreciate the motives which have pro- duced this effort at the removal of a terrible evil, but we do not see the propriety or justice of the means adopted to carry it out, The seizure o! these wretched outcasts on the streets—the drag- ging of them away to the “Tombs” by brutal men —the sending of them to the Penitentiary to be driven to still lower depths of self-degradation and crime—oh! this is not the way to free us from thy terrible evil of prostitution. Why is it that the city authoritiescannot be brought to suppress the houses of illfame—the chief source of this deso- lating evil? There are hundreds of these dens oi vice and crime well known to the police authori- ties, and yet they continue open—night after night and day after day, inviting and wooing hun- dreds to perdition. These houses must be all sup- pressed—and they can be easily snppressed— before one step is taken in the eradication of this evil. And instead of dragging the miseia- ble beings who inhabit them to a prison cell, let an asylum be opened for them, to which they will be conducted by the hand of mercy and love, and where they will be treated in the spirit of the be- nevolent Redeemer of men, who said to the treni- bling penitent that washed his feet with her tears— “Go and sin no more !” e Temperance Recreation—Pic--Nics.—Cliftoo ted States Bank, made an attempt, more manly indeed, but less serpent-like than the present, to defeat Jackson, in consequence of his vetoing the bank bill, and his general hostility to any renews! of that monied oligarchy. That movement, how- ever, tailed, in consequence of the enthusiasm of the democracy, and the startling and bungling man- ner in which the Courter made the attempt. In 1840 a similar defection took place in the demo- cratic party, under the name of “conservatism,” and in consequence of the peculiar position of things throughout the country—the great populari- ty of Harrison—and the unpopularity of Mr. Van Buren with his own party—that defection became very successful, and had a very great share in the election of Harrison to the Presidency. The pre- sent defection, conspiracy, or secret movement, as undertaken by the transcendental abolitionists of the A’vening Post and their associates, is started for the same purpose as the former movement, and itishighly probable, fromthe more extended in- fluence of the Texas question in the North, and the quiet manner in which the abolition fanatics move, that it will be more successful, and that the final result will be the organization, in the midst of the democratic party, of the abolitionists, nom - nally going against the annexation of Texas. Altogether, this is a most singular movement, and must inevitably produce great discussion and disturbance in the ranks of the democracy. It will create great subject of excitement for the newspapers and politicians. The movement is certainly extremely wily and judicious, and our opinion of the probability of Mr. Clay’s election is immeasurably strengthened by this extraordinary development of a state of matters in the demo- cratic camp, which we had till now only shrewdly conjectured. Lone Istanp Rat.roav.—New Route To Bos- Tox.—This road has finally been completed, and will be opened on the 29th inst. for the transporta- tion of passengere, between Brooklyn and Green- port, L. I. This road is ninety-two miles long, nearly level, ava running through the centre of the Island, passing some of the prettiest towns, and ter- minating at Greenport, at the eastern extremity of the Island. This road is built of the heavy T rails, and which are firmly laid. There being but one or two small bridges on the line, and the road be- ing nearly straight, it is supposed great speed will be obtained. This road opens another route to Boston, by crossing the Sound from Greenport to Stonington or Norwich. This will without doubt be the shortest and most expeditious route to Bos- ton, and it depends upon the Directors of the Love Island road whether it will be the cheapest or not The time between Boston and New York, by the way of Long Island, will not exceed nine hours. To do this, the distance from Brooklyn to Green port must be ran over in 2k hours, the sound crossed to Stonington or Norwich in 2 hours, which will leave 44 hours to reach Boston, on either of the roads running from those points. be accomplished. This would be a delightiul day route to Boston. breakfast in New York, and dine in Boston ata fashionable hour, very comfortably The Long Island road runs through a beautiful section o! country, and a trip by daylight would be very pleas- ant, particularly during the warm weather. This can easily A person could take an early Exrraorptnary Eruption amonast THE “ Spori- me GrntLemen.”—There has been a “strike” this week amongst the blacklegs, as well as the tailors. It appears that the directors of the ‘*banks” of Park Row and Vesey street, like those of the worthy and respectable contemporery insti- tutions in Wall street, have Leen absorbing more than their share of the stock, and refusing to “fork over” a sufficient amount of the profits to the “decoy ducks,” who catch and pluck the “pigeons.” The consequence has been that the industrious and accomplished gentlemen who bring the grist to the mill demand an advance in the dividends. But the bank-directors won't listen to this demand—the ‘‘ decoy-ducks” won’t work—and the banks are closed. The Mayor and Corporation are thus spared the trouble of shutting up the gambling houses, and the “green” ones coming from the country are in a sad state, no place being open for them wherein to be plucked and relieved of the pecuniary ple- thora with which they are almost bursting. The excitement is very great, and we do not think it unlikely that a number of new and mag nificent gambling houses will be opened up towns and that property in Barclay street, Vesey street and Park Row will fall a hundred per cent ine few weeks.

Unrren Brotuens or Temrrrance.—'This asso, ciation had another finteresting§meeting€at [theis | Hall,‘in the Lyceum,\Broadway, last_evening, | House, and the grounds in that neighboriiood have been the scenes of several romantic pic-nics, of late A few days ago the “ Sisters of Temperance”—an association of the fair sex, organized for the pa- tronage of Croton Water,—with a splendid band, went down by one of the Staten Island boats, and held a delicious pic-nic in the woeds near Clifton House. A shower happening to come on, they re- treated to the piazzas of the Clifton House, and there for several hours, “ tripped it on the light fantastic toe,” to the inspiring strains of the fine music of the band—and all sorts of dances—walizes and quadrilles—all except the ‘‘Polka,” which has not yet been sufficiently introduced by Korponay, to enable the beautiful Bowery girls to manage ui its intricacies. Highly delighted with the charming scenery, the fair sisterhood, who would almost tempt one to forswear the ‘sparkling cup,” kept up the gay scene till late in the evening. Immense qnantities of water were consumed, and it is said, but with what degree of truth we know not, that some ot the brethren who went to keep order were found in some of the quiet corners mixing a little brandy with the water—not much, however—only “ « small drop to keep away colic.” There were probably one hundred in this party, most of them very elegantly dressed women, and some ot them in quite picturesque attire, and every little group of two or three, had its basket of pro- visions, for the most angelic of the dear creatures must occasionally patronize the good things of this earth. They were healthy and good-looking— some of them quite charming, and all full of life, gayety, and happiness. They may be regarded, or many of them at least, as the founders of the elite of the next century, but not before. Before their departure one of the ladies made quite an eloquent speech, thanking the proprieto: of the Clifton House for his polite attention and abundant supply of pure water, and expressive o! the enjoyment which the party had received in in- haling the fresh air and beholding the magnificen: scenery of the neighborhood. When the bout loaded with its full freight of youth, beauty and happiness, moved off, all the ladies of the Hous: waved an adieu with their handkerchiefs, and th: party on board acknowledged the compliment iv the inspiring strains of theirband, which was heard as long as they were in sight. Thus closed the pic nic and gala day of the “Sis ters of Temperance,” but the Clifton House, an: the fine breeze, and the cool shore, and the shady woods still remain. This 1s indeed one of the moe! delightful places to visit on a Saturday or Sunday The house is kept in the first styie of excellence by Pieris, formerly of the Pavilion. You can go down from Whitehall by the boat for a shilling—get t the Telegraph in a stage for another—ramble among the weods or en the shore—then at three or four get a comfortable dinner at the house, anc return to the city in the cool eventide—refreshed and happy. Just try and see if our description be not correct. Summer Travet.—The day before yesterday, we understand that there arrived in New York by the Philadelphia trains alone, nearly four hundred strangers, and probably every day for some time past has averaged from filteen hundred to two thousand passengers. The visiters came from ali parts of the Union, but chiefly from the South and West, by packet, railroad, stage, and steamboat. During no former season de we recollect to have seen such crowds flocking into our city. Possibly the disturbances in Philadelphia have driven to this metropolis some who would have gone there Business, of course, in this city, is much benefitted by this great influx of strangers. The hotels have been doing an immense business all the season The shopping in Broadway is greater than ever Most people do not travel unless they have plenty of money, and the ladies want new hats and fash- ionable dresses when they come to New York, and the gentlemen must consult our metropolitan tailors. We can speak, too, of the increase of our own prosperity from thiscause. We never recol leet in any period of our past most prosperous ca- reer, such crowds as now flock daily to aur office to subscribe for the Weekly Herald, which is an immense favorite throughout the country, as ii keeps every one who takes it “fully posted up” in all the news and movements of the day, at home and abroad. i The remarkable cheapness of travelling is doubt legs one great cause of its great increase.’ But it indi- cates in the most conclusive way the great prosperity of the country. People can’t aftord to spend time unless they are unusually prosperous. The fact is. the country is going ahead in all the elements et national greatness and wealth and prosperity wit! railroad velocity. The momentum is so great tha! nothing can stop it. There is such a load of steam on, that it’s precious little matter who will be elec- ted President—whether it be Polk, Clay, or any other man. Amusing —The New York American, edited by one Mr. Charles King, comes out quite angrily against some democrats in South Carolina, who talk about the disanion of the States m case the annexation of Texas does not take place. And yet this very same print is the very first to threaten digunion if the annexation was attempted! Thi: is quite characteristic impudence. The truth is the disunionists of South Carolina and of Wai, street, are alike contemptible and alike,powerless. Return or tux Boston Crry Greve.—Colonel | Thompson und his admired company, the City Greys, arrived in this city yesterday afternoon via. Railroad, on their return from Baltimore, for which distant point of march we recorded their departure some days ago. The trip has been highly relished by them, having received, wherever they appeared, a very cordial reception. The Eighth Company of N.Y National Guards, Capt. Shumway, repaired to Jersey City to meet them, and escorted them to the United States Ho- tel, where the two corps sat down at four o’clock to a dinner, served in the usual fine style of that well known establishment. The “ Greys” were on this occasion the especial guests of the National Guare, who, we are happy to say, well sustained the ex- ample of hospitality set by their brother soldiers lately. As on former occasions, there were many guests invited—amongst the rest, a number of the most notable militaires of New York. The commander of the National Guard presided, and in the course of the proceedings the following toasts were drunk with full honors: “ The President of the United State: ‘he Gevernor of the State of New York.” “Phe Governor of Massachusetts. 8 y Mayor and Common Councilof the City of New “The Mayor and Common Council of the city of Bos- ton. The foregoing being disposed of, the ParsipEnr arose, called for a full bumper, and prefacing the toast with a few apposite remarks, proposed with marked emphasis and cordial feeling “Tue Bostox City Gueve—Noble sons of revolutionary sires.” When the very marked enthusiasm which it ex- cited had subsided, Colonel Tuompson, of the Greys, spoke as follows:— GentLxemen,—After so long a tramp as we have hai, we cannot be expected to make lung or eloquent speeches; at the same time! cannotomit expressing M this place my own thanks and thet of my company to the citizen soliers of New York for their flattering reception of us. I stated before, andI here state again, that I did not ex- pect anything like the reception we have met with, On our walk through New York and Philadelphia we did cal culate upon the kind greetings of our friends on our first arrival, but no more; and [canonly say that we all re- turn to you, he citizen soldiers ol New York, our thanks for what is undeserved on our part. I do undertake to say that no military company have ever been on so lony a march, and received so much kindness. Ido not louk upon it so much asa compliment to my company as to the city of Boston. (Applause,) The National Guard, ever since its visit to Bosten on the 17th June, tor the first time, has been looked upon by the ‘City Grays” of Bos ton as a pattern of military discipline, and if any com- pany could ever come up to them in discipline, in soldier- ike conduct and military bearing, it would be the sum mum bonum of their military career. (Loud applause.) | aay, sir, and I speak the sentiments of every member of my company, that weare happy to e this opportunity of drinking the health of our friends of June the 17th (Cheers.) As you are aware, it is but a short time since we were here receiving the kindness of our friend: 1 I may be permitted to refer to it, as the language I ‘mad: use of on that occasion was, I am bas 4 to say, misunde:- stood by some of the military men of New York.

Sanrorp gave— “Tue Tunes Gaeys—Of Boston, Philadelphia, and New Youk; may their friendship be'as imperishable # the Bunker Hil! Monument.” The next toast was— “Tue Nationa Guanp—May they retain the honors they so gallantly won.” The drum here beatto arms; the two companies forthwith took their departure—the Greys for home—the Guard as an escort. We left them on board the Cleopatra, and heard the loud hurrah+ from the North Carolina, whose crew manned the yards, and gave them @ hearty salute in passing, « worthy and honorable termination of the visit oj the “* Greys.” P Let us hope to see them soon again. wy Anotuer Miuitary Visit.—The New England Guard, accompanied by the Boston Brass Band, leave Boston on the 26th inst. for Providence, where they encamp with the Providence Light In- fantry. On the evening of the 30th, they leave for this city, arriving on the morning of the S8let, when they will be received by the New York City Guard, Capt. Wm. M. Mc Ardle, who have also in- vited the City Guard of Brooklyn, a corps of sim lar uniform, to join in the reception. The three corps will then breakfast together at the Pearl st House. The day willbe spent in some way no! fully determined upon. On the evening of the Ist of August, the New York City Guard will give their guests a grand entertainment at Niblo’ They will visit the Theatre the firat of the evening, afterwards there will be a ball in the grand Saloon, and ut 12 o’clock the whole company, about 500 in number, will sit down to supper. A grand exhibi- tion of fireworks will also be given during the evening. ‘khe Guards come on by special invita- tion from the New York City Guard, and will re main three or four days. They will be quartered during their stay, at an clegant private house in Houston street, near Broadway, which has been fitted upas a home for them, by the City Guard.— The N. E. G.’s have the son of Hon. Abbott Law- rence for Adjutant, and Charles Gordon, Esq., one of the first physicians of Boston, for Commandant, and the rank and file are composed of the most re- spectable young men of that city. Their uniform is light blue pantaloons, with scarlet stripe, blue coat with gold trimmings, and bear skin cap.— Their cap is similar to the City Guard’s, with the exception of its trimmings, and they were made here for them. The C. G. will use every exertion to make their guests’ visit one of unalloyed pleasure. Pamo’s Opera House—Last Evenine or Dr Larpyer’s Entertatnments.—This evening will be the last opportunity the public will have for the present season of witnessing this splendid exhibition, and sharing the highest intellectua treat, The lecture on the stars, reputed to be hir best and highest effort, will be succeeded by th display of his entire collection of apparatus an dioramas. Such an entertainment was perhap: never before offered on sueh terms.

Mr. Cooper condemns the conduct of McKenzie, but he does it with mildness, and only after x searching and rational examination of the testi- mony on both sides.

Triau or Spexp —The new steam cutter Le- garé, and the Great Western, had a trial of speed last Saturday. The L. is propelled by the sub- merged screw, and the Western by the big wheels. Tt was a beautiful race as far as appearances went, and the Legaré could have sailed round the Great Western every hour under the circumstances of the trial. We donot look upon the race as a fair one, however, for we believe the Great Western to be nearly, if not quite, a match for either the Prince- ton or the Legaré, were they of her size. And we are led to suspect, although we are in favor of the screw, that those in charge of the Western made no effort in the trial, because they look upon “i. beat” by a submerged wheel steamer as so much capital stock added to the Great Britain, which is to be propelled on the submerged principle. There is always a wheel within a wheel. Wreck or THE Scur. WiLLIAM.—We have seen in one of the Boston papers a statement of the pas- sengers of the William relative to their conduct towards Capt.

It was attended by his excellency the Governor. family and suite, and Mrs. V. D. M., the sister of his excellency, and Adj. E.J. 8. The officers ot the Dutch navy and army made afine appearance, and added much to the display.

In Chancery. ieee — Ne Neate M‘Coun. mn luLy 24 —Hen . Cruger vs. George Douglas, William Douglas, et al.—This case, which came up for argument before the Court, involves various points of deep impor. tance inlaw, both as regards the marital rights, powers and trust of the husbane the rights, duties and privi leges of the wife. It appes that the geal after his marriage, executed a deed of settlement, conveying the whole of his wife's 'y, both. gel ood and income, to trustees, for hi parate use, 8 cipal amount- ing to the enorm sum of $400 the income to $100,000 Oa year. Inreturn she gave him, informally, the whole income, and he retit from his profession (that of Counsellor at Law) and both settled in Herkimer ek ae wife subsequently revoked the gift, but, e int upon ercession of mutual friends, executed, it wax alleged, a deed securing to her husband one half of the income of the estate. In consequence of com- lainant’s accepting this deed she has ever since re. jlused to live with the husband, in consequence of a family misunderstanding. The Bill was filed in the first instance to enforce thedue performance of the deed, and recover the marital rights of the complainant; subsequently the Bill was amended on the advice of coun sel, on the ground thatthe past nuptial settlement wa: repugnant to the Revised Statutes, and therefore void in law. The apportionment of half the income was, it war red, P jously repudiated, onthe ground that it was obtained’ through undue ion and coercion. The case is likely to oocupy the Court for ten or twelve days. The pleadings, being Aprinted inflarge quarto, are vol- umnious, A bar of the most eminent lawyers are em- ployed on either side.
