W . YORK. HE “New York, Friday, August Another Magnificent Weekly Herald. ANOTHER SERIES OF THE NATIONAL LYRICS With numerous Illustrations. We shall issue on Saturday morning next ano ther Lilustrated Weekly Herald, containing the third series of the National Lyric Poems. The in- terest excited amongst all the political parties of the day, by the publicatzon of all these choice and original poetic effusions, has been altogether un- paralleled. @Phe demand for the paper containing them has been perfectly astonishing. Of each of these Illustrated Weekly Heralds we printed two or three large editions over our usual iseue, and all went off like lightning. The Weekly Herald of next Saturday will con- tain several very original und piquant songs, which have been written since the publicatien of our first issue of the American lyrics, and which go consi- derably ahead of any in the former series. All will be illustrated by characteristic engravings—cuts for all par ies. ‘This isthe true poetry of the people and of the times—the gushing forth of the national soul—full of sentiment, humor, feeling, patriotism and pathos. Price of the whole only 6} cents. The Great Whig Convention at Albany. The whigs certainly deserve success in this State. From the very commencement of the campaign they have been canvassing, electioneering, recruit- ing, organizing, and laboring with astonishing in- dustry, energy and perseverance. In all quarters throughout this noble State they have exhibited a degree of unanimity and zeal which have strikingly contrasted with the supineness and disunionof their opponents. Asa sort of crowning effort, and in order to make an imposing display of the results of these labors, the whigs of the River Counties, as we stated the other day, have agreed to hold a great mass meeting at Albany on the 27th of this month. Here is the call:— Whig Mass aa gree of the River Coun- jes. The Whig General Committee of the City and County of Albany, in obedience toa request of the State Central Clay Club, who have deemed it advisable that Mass Con- ventions be held at various points on the Hudson River,do recommend, after consultation, that a MASS CONVENTION ofthe Whigs of the River Counties, be held at Albany, on Tuesday the 27th day of August next—to which the ‘Whigs of those counties and such others as may feel so disposed, are invited to attend. Invitations have been ad- dressed to several prominent speakers to be present at the meeting, whose names will hereafter announced, Ample provision will be made for the accommodation of all who may attend. The occasion will be one of great interest and importance, and the undersigned cannot doubt that this call will be responded to with alacrity b: the Whigs of the River Counties especially, to whem it is more particularly directed. The Whig County and Town Committees of each Coun. ty addressed are ba tpackect through the medium of their County papers, or otherwise, to give this call a general circulation. JOHN D. HEWSON, RUFUS KING, ABRAHAM VAN VECHTEN, ‘WM. LAC ALFRED B. STREET, EDWARD ROBINSON, FRANKLIN TOWNSEND, HEMAN C. WHELPLEY, WILLIAM GREENE. Albany, 2d July, 1844, Committee of Arrangements. ‘This Mass Convention will undoubtedly be a very magnificent affair. Mr. Webster, and a number of the very ablest and most influential whig leadere, will be present, and deliver addresses. It is thought that Mr. Webster will embrace the opportunity of making one of his great efferts. The state of the contest is certainly very critical just now, and the leaders of both parties cannot be too earnest, or too vigilant. On such an occasion asthe assembling of the whigs of the great state of New York, it will indeed be a matter of duty and necessity, too, for Mr. Webster to offer such a compre- hensive exposition and vindication of the whig measures and policy, as only Mr. Webster can give. The whigs do not now possess such an im- mense proportion of the “‘sinews of war” in the shape of funds as they did in the campaign which terminated in the election of Harrison. It is, there- fore, incumbent upon them to put forth all their strength in the oratorical line, and in that Mr. Web- ster is a mighty host in himself. All parties on this account! will look anxiously to this Conven- tion; and very great expectations have been excited with respect to its influence in impressing the whigs with a sense of their power in the “ Empire State,” and in placing still more prominently before the masses the issues involved in the contest. ‘The views of the whig leaders on the great ques- tion of a National Bank appear to admit of addi- tional exposition. There seems to be in some quarters a good deal of contrariety of opinion on this important issue. Mr. J. L. White in his late speech before the whig young men of this city, took ground distinct and decided enough on this question, but the manner in which he introduced his views of the whig doctrine on that point, indi- cated that he was not by any means to be under- stood as expressing authoritatively the sentiments of all his brother-whigs. There have been indeed a food deal ef cautious evasion, and beating about the bush on the part of whig speakers and journal- ists with respect to this prominent issue involved in the present contest, and we have now, we should think, arrived at a sufficiently advanced period of the campaign, to justify us in demanding an explicit statement, ex cathedra, of the views of the whig party with respect to the establishment of a Na- tional Bank. And thie, doubtless, Mr. Webster will give us. He can do it with skill and judg- ment. This Mass Convention of the whigs ot our State at Albany, will likely be followed by one of the democrats, at the same central point. Indeed, we believe that arrangements are already in progress for this purpose. It is apparent from these and other indications that the hottest of the conflict will be in our borders. The great State of New York will be the Waterloo of the campaign. From all the States, South and West, which have been heard trom, the democratic gain has been so de- cided as to reduce the chances of both parties to a very close equality. Here it is evident that both parties are preparing for a tremendous struggle. Aad we think that in this State the whig prospects ore highly encouraging. The whig cause has on the whole been gaining ground in New York, whilet the dissensions of their opponents have con- tributed in no inconsiderable degree to break up their former efficrent organization. Had it not been that the efforts of the * natives” have stimu- lated the Irieh Catholics, and other naturalized voters inte extraordmary zeal and energy in the democratic cause, the chances of Mr. Polk would have been gloomy enough in this region. As itis, the democrats must work very hard indeed to carry thus State In such ajtate of affairs, every movement of both parties becomes invested with very great interest. The Mase Conveation at Albany will be a most wnportant event ia the progress of the contest, 11 will give « demonstration of the numerical force— of the energy— of the enthumasm—and of the views of the whigs, and all parties will regard it with the deepest interest. We shall accordingly make all eecessary arrangements to have the proceedings fauthfaity and fally reported, and enable both parties throughout the Union, to form an accurate judg- meat of ite importance, and the additional hight which \¢ may cast upon the chancesof the contend- ing factions in the State of New York—the great battle-fieid of the Presidential contest. SivewLaw case ov Hiouway Ronprty.—One of the most extraordinary and daring cases of high- way robbery will be iound fully reported under our police record this morning, which evinces the total inefficiency of our night watch to protect citi- wena from beig robbed or murdered in the most pablie places of our city. When shall we have a change | ‘The Elections. We have compiled a table of the popular vote in those States where elections have this year been held, and placed it in comparison with the vote ia the same States in 1840. a This statement does not exhibit the full vote in all the States, and we have, therefore, compared county to county, aad publish the result. We give the actual majeriiies when the full vote ia not known, and thus accurately show the loss and gain of each party Porvaan Vers ; Whig. .

There is a still greater apparent di- miaution in the whig ranks. We are led to believe, however, from what full returns we have received, that the decrease in the democratic vote will be slight, while that of the whigs will be at least one hundred thousand. In all elections in this country, from the time the first vote was polled to this morning, there has been a steady increase in the democratic vote, while that of the whigs has tremendously fluctuat- ed from 1,274,203 in 1840, to 983,433 in{l843. There is scarcely any réliance to be placed upon the whig strength, prior to anelection, All depends upon the amount of enthusiasm and excitement that can be raised to bring out the members of that party. We have seen, as in the election of Harrison, that they have a preponderance of the suffrages of the country, and have the election in their own hands. But there is no principle of cohesion in them as among their opponents, and hence their frequent defeats. All elections have shown that whenever there is a great decrease or augmentation in the popular vote, it is on the whig side; the vote of the opposite party remaining stationary or slightly increasing. It is curious to look over the fluctuations in the popular vote, and see how they are regulated and controlled. Haneas Corpus.—The decision of Judge Van- derpool, in the case of Davis, the Policeman, has given decided satisfaction: and has caused enquiry on the part of leading members of the bench and the bar, into the important question of Police Re- form, for which we have been calling in vain since May last. The Bill which has recently passed the Legislature, on the subject of this much desired Police Reform, does not altogether depend on the will of the Common Council to carry out its pro- visions, some of which went into immediate ope- ration. We extract the follewing :— “No fees or costs on writs of habeas corpus, or upon persed 8 upon writs of habeas corpus, shail bec! the Ju ge or Commissioner granting them, or by the officer serving them, or the jailor obeying their orders — and the Judge before whom the case pa heard shall only, determine whether the case be ible, and if the mae is lawfully committed, leaving it to the committing magis:rate to settle the amount of bail. Any officer vio- lating the provisions of thissection shall be guilty of a misdemeanor, and shall be subject to the ‘and penal- ties of such offence. The first Judge ard tant Judges of the Court #f Common Pleas may charge the fees now allowed by law in such cases, “No memper of the Police Department, nor any magis- trate or poe officer, shall receive any present or reward for services renderedjor to be rendered. and any ‘otticer who shall receive any present or reward, in violation of this section, shall be removed from office. Surerine 1n Port.—Several curious results were presented in the list of vesselain this poit, which we published last Saturday. Thus: of the aggre- gate number, there Belonged to New York. Belonged to Boston... Belonged to Sweden, Belenged to Bremen. Belonged to New Bedi Belonged to other N. E. Ports Belonged te other places..... Total in port. ....seeeccceccceceeceeseees 28 It has been stated in monthly magazines here, and in papers in Boston, that of all the versels that centered at New York, three-fourths belonged to the New England States. We have looked upon these statements with some sur- prise, although we knew that a great proportion of the carrying trade was done in New England bot- toms. It isto be perceived, however, in the list which we have given, that this city can lay claim to most Of the carrying business out of itself. We have seen double the number of New England vessels entering at this port belonging to New York, and engaged in her commerce—and we see no good reason for our neighbor claiming more than their share in the affairs of the world—espe- cially while they endeavor to make us believe that they possess more elements of wealth on their own soil, and in their own waters, than are to be found any where else. Tue Visit or THE Tomrxins’ Capets To THIS Crry.—Captain F. L. Hagadorn, on behalf of this company, which have returned home from their tour of duty to this city, express their thanks for the many civilities extended tothem. To Captain Purdy, and company A. of the Governor’s Guards, for the many civilities in escorting them to various places, &c. To Brigadier General Storms, their immediate commander, and express their regret that his official annual tour, as Commissary Gene- ral, prevented them the pleasure of greeting him at his quarters. To Colonel Miller, of Fort Hamil- ton, their immediate commander, they return him their best thanks for his kind invitation to visit him at this quarters, an invitation of which they will avail themselves at an early opportunity. To Messrs. Benson & Hodges, the polite proprietors of the Carlton House, for the very handeome and at- tentive treatment they received whi i i there. To Capt. Clark, and phate Di of the President’s Guard, for their handsome escort from the Carlton House—the entertainment at their ar- mony—their attentive escort to the ferry—their es- cort across the ferry—their escort to Newark by the railroad—their escort through the city of Newark—their escort to Elizabethtown by the railroad, and from Ehzabethtown to the Point— and finally their accompanying us by the steam- boat to New Brighton, and even to their homes. To General James W. Miller, ex-Mayor of the city of Newark, and his excellent lady, for their kind and hospitable uttentions to one of their num- ber who was taken sick on Tuesday, during their visit to thatplace. To “mine host” of Stewart's Hotel, for the liberal provision made for them at his table, at avery short notice. To Captain G.C. Hoyt, of the steamboat Mount Pleasant, from New Brunswick, tor the conveyance of them and their comrades. To the American Brass Band, under the direction of Mr. E. P. Shelton, for the assist- ance they rendered during their whole tour. Tue Yacur Race.—The great yacht race be- tween the Northern Light and Belle, came off at» Boston on Wednesday morning. It was not de- cided, however, according to the rules, in conse- quence of the starboard foremast shroud of the N. Light having been carried away. She neverthe- less, had the best of the contest, and opinions are in her favor. Hamitron Hovse.—Don’t forget the Ball at this fashionable watering place this evening. With an excellent band of music, a well lighted hall, a fresh breese from the sea, and a whole galaxy of beauty, the entertainment will be well worth the drive, and the drive by moon light will more than pay for itself. The steamboat leaves Whitehall every day at half past 3o’clock P.M, and those who epend the night at the Hamilton House can return to the city before 9 o'clock ingthe morning. Maurary Disptay at Fort Lee.—We were in- formed that some military matters of interest are to be transacted at this spot to-day. Troops march. ed last evening from Brooklyn to the appointed rendezvous. for oeing dee in that wish, we can see no reason be defeated by another, purticularly }, which we have been com- batting for years, have one nochange. ‘The prin: fess ir. Polk are ly the same’ are enter- by Mr. Tyler. This we say on no doubtful author- ity. The same may be confidently said of Mr. Dallas las. And we shall advocate the election of Polk and Dal- they will be elected easily.—Madisonian We think that the above announcement conveys an intimation of by far the most important result which has followed the withdrawal of Captain Ty. ler. Joha Jones isstill alive and kicking, ‘straight forward inthe old Madisonian and Jeffersonian republican path!” John Jones is still in the field. John Jones has not withdrawn. John Jones is game. John Jones won’t be killedoff. And John Jones is determined not to be idle. He says with the Queen in Cymbeline— ’Tis not sleepy business, But must be looked to speedil; atrongl; ly and y! We give you a hearty greeting, ‘John Jones — There’sfunin you. There’s great fun in you.— And heaven knows your democratic brethren of the press want some of that commodity, for a dul- ler, more common-place, and insipid set than they are, one couldn’t find in Christendom. Who amongst them could condense into one paragraph so much valor, spirit, and heroic daring, as John haspressed into the tew nervous, forcible, and em- phatic sentences we have quoted? How modestly John reviews his past achievements, and announces his future chivalric course! We know nothing to equal it except the speech of his eminent name- sake, Sir John Falstaff—‘Lord, Lord, how this world isgiven to lying! I grant you, I was down and out of breath; and so was he: but we rose both in an instant, and fought a long hour by Shrewsbury clock. If I may be believed, so, if not, let them that should reward valor, bear the sin upon their own heads. I'll follow, as they say, for reward. He that rewards me, God reward him!” Tue Jews.—We have received an immense number of communications from both the con- tending parties amongst the Jews of this city. Most of them are horribly personal and abusive ; and none of them give any additional! information respecting the difficulties in the camp of Israel. We advise both parties to cultivate brotherly love, and keep cool. It is silly at all times to get angry, but in this hot weather it is pesitively insanity itself. We never get angry. It is true, occasion- ally, the vileness of the party press, disgracing our glorious institutions—the corruption of courts of justice, trampiing on the laws both of God and man—and the hypocrisies of wicked pretenders to honesty and virtue, blaspheming all that is pure and good, excite us to wrath; but these things would provoke the man of Uz himself. And after all, pity mingles with our indignation, making it like that of the tender father who loves while he whips the erring child. We say, then, to the children of Abraham—keep cool—let not the sun go down upon your wrath— leave off roasting each other, for you have got other fish to fry—and who of us Gentiles can equal you at that? Dr. Larpner’s Enrertainments.—The box of- fice at Palmo’s theatre will open to-day for the sale of tickets of admission to Dr. Lardner’s entertain- ments. The price is fixed at one dollar only, in order to encourage and facilitate the attendance of families, to whom this amusement will be peculiar- ly acceptable. Subscribers may select seats in the order of their application, and as the house will, we have no doubt, be filled up to its fullest capaci- ty, the earlier the application is made by all who desire a choice of seats the better. The “inaugural lecture”? on Monday evening next, will be ina great degree similar (allowing for the progress of science) to that:which Dr. Lard- ner delivered at the opening of the London Uni- versity, which was attended by the most brilliant audience perhaps ever assembled on such an occa- sion—composed of members of both Houses of Par- liament, cabinet ministers, the diplomatic corps, &c. &c. That lecture received a mark of appro- bation which was said to be unprecedent for that kind of thing—it was encored. The Doctor was called on to deliver it over again, partly because the house could not hold half the number tha; came, and partly because many of those who did come, seriously wished to hear it over again, and did actually attend its repetition. The unprecedented scale of magnitude in which the illustrations will be given—the great novelty and splendor of many of them, must attract very crowded houses,'independent of the very great in- ducement held out by the intrinsic importance and interest of the lectures themselves. We can only add our advice with respect to early application for. tickets, MetancnoLy Attempt at Suicrpg IN Brooktyn Last Eveninc.—A person of respectability last evening attempted suicide by cutting his throat in our sister city, while la¥oring under a fitjof tempo- rary insanity. He had been for several days pre- vious much indisposed and in a low desponding frame of mind in consequence, and about 6 o’clock was found with his throat cut, on the premises of his brother, by some*iriends. Medical assistance was immediately called in, and every thing that was necessary was done to prevent a fatal result, but at alate hour last evening little or no hopes were entertained of his recovery. Out of respect to the unfortunate manfand his family, we forbear giving further particulars at present. Granp Dispnay in THE Exystan Freips, Horo- xen.—The Elisler Brothers, and other equally good and attractive performers are engaged for some time longer to display their powers in this most attractive spot ; these extra attractions do infinite credit tothe parties who furnish them, and cre well worth viewing. Visrrors.—Among the arrivals at the Astor, are Judge Maney of Nashville, Tenn., and J.B. Le- sieur, of Virginia, lady and three children. At Howard’s, George Frazer, of Columbus, Miss. Low Water in THe Hupson.—The water in the river 1s very low. Yesterday it was 6 inches lower than it had been for several years. 0g We refer the public in general to the adver. tisement of Mr. Farley & Co. of First Avenue and Tenth street, whose accommodation for public and private entertainment are upona scale of exten- sive comfort that few can equal inthiscity.

Jams G. Sir :—It is rumored here to-day that Joe Smith’s oldest son, fourteen years old, has seen the ghost of his father, which has appointed him the true prophet—tells him to issue his proclamation to the people—that all otherprophetsbut himfare humbugs. The Mormons generally believe Joe has arisen from the dead—all things with them are quiet, and they are wil'ing to remain so,provided the people let them alone; but ds we have such an abominable set of fellows here, it is impossible to tell the resu t. Those that are most anxious, and take the most active part, have ne moral principle; one who is very active, afellow by the name of Andy Weir, a pretended tanner by trade,but will not work when he can get money by other means. He married an old maid by the name of Bates, from your State, “thinking to get money by the speculation, but now he abuses her like a pickpocket becanse she won’t push up her rich relations to give him money ; 80 your readers will perceive what kind of people the moral community have to contend with, Emma, the mite of the fallen prophet, says her people will, as soon as arrangements can be made, emigrate to Oregon, but wish to be protected in the rights of their property, and the murderers of the prophet given up to the civil authorities to be dealt with according to law. Old Mrs. Smith, the prophet’s mother, very aged, has much influence with the peoples says she has seen Joe ard con- versed with him—the Mormonsgenerally believe it. There is a great deal of <ickness in this country —hive per ceat. of the whole population will die off this seacon—twenty per cent. confined to their sick rooms. Crops are generally good. ‘ours, M.R Tue Marine Covrt.—Naturatization.—-We took occasion a few days back to call attention to the presumed want of jurisdiction in the Marine Court in relation to the naturalization of foreigners —and the plot that has been laid on foot by the “Native” Inspectors, to refuse the right of suffrage at the polls to all those who have been naturalized in the Marine Court—a bold and desperate step which would disfranchise a large and influential body of our most respectable fellow citizens. We are happy to find that the politicians most interested have been forewarned by our friendly hint on this subject, and have taken prompt action in the pre- mises. The following opinion of Judge Nelson, the presiding member of the Supreme Court, sets this question at rest. In relation to the Marine Court of the city of New York, and also of Al- bany, the Chief Justice says:—‘* Nothing can be more full and explicit than the Statute organizing the Court, on this head (naturalization.) The act of We had to establish an uniform rule of naturalization, &c., provides, as follows :—“And whereas doubts have arisen, whether certain courts of record, in some of the States, are included with- in the description of District, or Circuit Courts—Be it furtner enacted, that every Court of Record, in any individual State, having common law jurisdic. tion, and a seal, and Clerk, or Prothonotary, shall be considered as a District Court within the mean- ing of this act: and every alien who may have been naturalized, in any such Court, shall enjoy, from and after the passing of this act, the same rights and privileges, as if he had been naturalized in a District or Circuit Court of the United States —2 Story’s Laws of U. S., p. 852. §3. From this provision, it will be seen that three things, and three only, are essential to enable a State Court to administer the laws of naturaliza- tion. _ 1. The Court must be a Court of Record, hav- ing common Jaw jurisdiction. 2 It must have a seal. And3,aClerk. || . Now the Statute organizing the Marine Court, (2 R. Laws 1813, p. 381, §106, Laws rel. to the ci- ty of N. Y., p. 473, 475, “} confers upon it com- mon law jurisdiction over all actions of debt, deti- nue, account, covenant, trespass on the case, and trespass, including trespass upon land.” ‘‘Also, of actions upon any Statute, and upon the Charter, or bye-laws of the Corporation of the city of N.Y.” Besides a large field of jurisdiction over marine ses, between masters and mariners; and it is provided, that for the purpose ot hearing and deter. mining the same, “such Court is hereby vested with all such power, and authority, as is vested in other Courts of Record in this State, and is here- by made and constituted a Court of Record.” _ Again, (§107) ‘‘the said Court, &c., shall be end is hereby declared to be a Court of Record: and shall have a seal, &c., and a Clerk, &c.” ($138) “the registers and books of entries for said Court, &c., or copies thereof proved, shall be deemed legal evidence of the acts and proceedings of the Court, and that the Court shall be deemed and taken, and held to be a Court of Record.” Every one of the requisites, therefore, made es- sential by the act of Congress to enable a State court toact, have been, in the most explicit terms, conferred upon this Court; and clearly vest it with as full and ample power to_administer the laws, as is possessed by any other Court in the State, or the District or Circuit Court of the United States. Were it possible to entertain a doubt upon sta- tutes so rae and explicit, we might also refer to the fee bill, contained in the act instituting the Marine Court, which, among other items of fees therein specified, as properly chargeable by the Jus- tices, is the following:— . " % For fees in fullon granting certificate of na- turalization, two dollars and fifty cents.” (2R. Laws, ant p. 394-5. § 140 Laws rel. to city of pd» DP. ADL.) _ The hie therefore, not only confers upon the Ma- rine Court, in point of fact, all the pores requisite within the law of Congress to enable it to act, but the above provision shows that the Legislature knew they were thus conferring said powers, and intended to confer them, and regulated the com- pensation to be charged and taken by the Justices accordingly. Theatricals, &. The Virginia Serenaders are again at Philadel- phia. Mrs. and Mr. J. Wallack, Jr. are engaged at the Walnut street Theatre, Miss Emma Ince. Mr. Wm. Chapman makes his appearance at the same house this evening. The Cincinnati theatre is to re-open on the 24th inst. under the management of Messrs,;Ludlow & Smith. It is said to be the neatest theatre iw the Union, and a first rate company is engaged. ' The Kendalls are about to give Concerts at Al- bany. Sig. De Begnis was announced to give a Concert at Kingston, Canada, on Tuesday last. His Con- cert at Cobourg a few nights previous was numer- ously and fashionably attended. The performances of Mr. Rodney’s Company at the Theatre Royal, Kingston Canada, terminated on the 16th inst. 7 It is stated that Mr. Simpson of the Park Thea- tre, sailed from Liverpool on “the 17th instant, in the Great Western, for New York, and he brings with him Miss Clara Ellis, late ot Drury Lane The- atre, a young and beautifnl woman, admirably adapted to take the principal of the younger paris in tragedy. He has also engaged Mr. Diott, a oung tragic actor, and his wife. Mr. Sherret, a low comedian of reputation, and his wife, an ex- cellent and pretty actress, who can_play anythin; from Cowslip up to Ophelia, sailed in the Garnic! on the 1th of August, having also been engaged by Mr. Simpson. Burton of the Arch street Theatre, has brought out the new prize comedy, “ Quid Pro Quo,” with complete success. He is doing afine business, and na rn the public with an endless variety of no- velties.

Bennetr, Eso.— The tide ot fashion and beauty sets as strongly this way a8 at any previous time during the season ; and there are probably 5000 visitors here at the present writing,—and what a motley mass, to be sure, they present !—comprised of parsons, ped- lara, philosophers and politicians ; clergymen and cracker-bakers; millionaires, money-brokers and milliners; students and soap-boilers ; the learned and the low; the rich and the roguish ; the cour- teous and the clownish; all taking rank among the fashion and élite of Saratoga. There are some pleasant strolls in the vicinity of this village. A day or two since, I took a walk through a piece of woodland, in a south-easterly direction from Congress Spring, and finally came tone dwelling, handsomely finished. A accompanied me, told me that she visi- d this same epot a year or two since, and found this fine dwelling deserted. It had been built and occupied by a ‘lone bachelor,” who had recently died; and, on sporeeching the premises, they were welcomed only by the pieing snakes, that issued from the cellar. Near the house lies buried the bachelor’s only companion, his dog. A flat stone bears an inscription to thie effect: ** To the memory of Juno, a favorite dog; died September Ist, 1836 ” The woods surrounding the premises are known as “ Bachelor’s Grove.” 1 would recommend this litsle ramble to all who enjoy a pleasant walk, and especially to bachelors; and if, after leaving the society of those who alone can make life huppy, to run through these solitary shades to the mansion of him who also was a bachelor, and died secluded, with none to love or lament, either in life or death ; I say, if, atter leaving the ** cate throng,” an ilosophising alone on the results of a sin ile life, ¢ id not staggered in his ideas of celibacy, then he is indeed incorrigible. ~@** The ball of the season” came off at the United States last night, terminating with a game es Ticketsthree dollars—champagne included. “The Barney of Baltimore” took a conspicuous part in the entertainments of the evening.

Record2A0 . 22.—Hionway Rospery —A most daring Sigh wer, robbery was committe’ in one of our most 4 streets, on Wednesday orang. As Andrew H. Powell, of 419 Broadway, was passi uP Broadway newer Dey street, he by three bid peasy night. e tl ne of pe approached Kim ht. Mr. Powell was in the act of drawing out his watch, when he received several heavy blows ou his head that felled him to the pavement insensible. On re- covery, he found that his gold watch valued at ene huo- dred and seventy five dollars, and about $6 in money had been stolen from his . Being much injured he walked down Fulton street, to the office of Dr Fawcet, ‘at 196, and rung the alarm bell in order to have his wounds dressed. While there, Mr. John McOran came for Dr. Fawcet, to visit a patient, and descending into the base- ment, he found the private door open. Presuming that some one had broken into the house, he locked the door, to secure him inside, andin a few minutes afterwards, a man was heard on the basement steps, in his stocking feet, who said he had entered the house to obtain lodg- ly rds spain, and asked to light his ci o! ings. On being brought into the ceof Mr. Powell, he immediately recognised him as the person who had asked him fer the light of the cigar, and the time of night before he was knocked down in Fulton street. Dr. Faw- cet and Mr. McOran then proceeded with the robber, to- wards the watch house, accompanied by Mr. Powell. They were immediately attacked by the two men, suppo sed to be those who were with the prisoner before the rob- bery, and a general gtraggle ensued to obtain bis rescue, aided by the energies of the prisoner, who scratched, kicked, and bit both the gentlemen who had him in custo. dy. During this whole difficulty not a watchman was to be seen orheard from. They finally succeeded in bring- ing the robber to the watch ise, but hia associates es- caped. The i Sowd there gave the name of John Kelly, and upon examination yesterday before the Police, he was fully committed. None of the property was recovered, The absence of the watch on the route tsken by the par- ties securing this rogue, should be enquired int lo by the watch and police committee, as the Captains of Centre street district ure too ineflicientto investigate any thing submitted to them. § Intemrrrance.—Aa ntem) the wife of Patrick Fox, th was held to bail yeste: {for making use of obscene and threatening language, to- wards certain persons, tenants of the house 26 James street. ‘ate woman, named Fox, ‘on of St. James’ Church, Common Pleas—In Chambers, AvG. 22—Habeas Corpus.—James McLaughlin, a sol- dier in the U. 8.

Attempt To Row A Banx.—An attempt was made to rob the Bank of Middlebury, Vt. onSa- turday, the 10thinst. The Free Press states that Mr. Warner, the cashier, was awakened in'the midst of a thunder storm by an attemptto raise the north back ° dow. Heperceived the scoundrels by the flash of light- ning. The thief had probably noticed Mr. Warner du: ring the evening making up a bundle of $8000 to be sent off, which was net deposited in the vault. The next morning, upon examination, a piece of a file was found ‘under the window, upon which several marks ol violence were apparent.

These creatures do no harm, and the disease soon fin ts a remedy in itself. How different is a swelled head, luced by the loath. some Ven Disease, kc.
