NEW YORK HERALD. = SS New York, Th raday, September 19, 1844, NEXT ILLUSTRATED : THE GREAT FAIR POUGHKEEPSIE. NUMEROUS ENGRAVINGS Illustrative of the History of the Week; The next pictorial Weekly Herald will be one of the most varied and attractive we have yet issued, as respects both its illustrations and reading mat- ter. The Great Fair at Poughkeepsie—constituting as it does a most interesting and gratifying episode in the exeiting political history of the week—will be illustrated by numerous engravings of a highly graphie and descriptive character. These engra- vings will be accompanied by a full report of all the proceedings, speeches and addresses, and also anaceount of the numerous exhibitions, with a list of the successful competitors for the various prizes. It will be the only full and accurate account of this great event, in which all the friends of the true interests of this mighty land must feel deeply concerned. Besides, all the rmportant political movements of both parties, will be recorded and illustrated, in- cluding the great locofoco ¢ erings in this city, and the vast convention of w' ‘s on Boston Com- mon. Terrible Panic amongst the Whigs—Dread. fal Conspiracy amongst the Locofocos to Commit Frauds—Increase of the Excite- ment in New York and every where. The panic in the Whig party, which has been produced by recent events, has in no shape abated, but seems to be increasing and widening every suc- cessive day. During the last two days numerous secret and important consultations have been held amongst the leaders ef the Whigs in this city, and couriers have been sent into the interior of the State, for the purpose of devising ways and means for conducting the campaign with the greatest possible efiect for the next six week. The committee. rooms, and private as well as public places of resort, have been crowded with individuals seeking in- formation asto the prospects, and endeavoring to find some ground on which their faith and hopes may repose In order to show from the highest sources of evi- ice, the accuracy of our statements relative to the existence of a prodigious sensation of alarm 1 the whig ranks, we annex the following ex- tracts from two of the leading whig journals of this city—the Courier and Enquirer—the organ of the monied and financial classes, and the Tribune, the organ of the oftice-seekers, Fourierites, fanatics, agrarians, and rag-tag-and-bobtail. Both, it will be perceived, are quite agreed with respectto the present alarming state of things:— [From the Courier & Enquirer.) ‘These are signs of the times not to be mistaken; and while we all know and feel that the Whig party is very much the strongest, and certain of success in at least eighteen States, we must not shut our eyes to two very important facts.’ First: Every legal Loco Foco voter in the United States, will certainly be brought to the polls in November ; and secondly, knowing that their party is almost every where ia a minority, it has been gravely de- termined by the leaders among our opponents, to carr: the elestion by fraud and violence. To be forewarned, is to be forearmed; and knowing as we all do, the zeal, the industry, the untiring energy, and unscrupulous charac- ter of our opponents, every Whig who desires to sustain the principles of our party and the institutions of our country, must resolve in advance not only to vote himself aad to procure if possible, one convert Irom our oppo- n but he must make up his mind to be prepared to meet every possible contingency which may presen self THe must anticipate frauds of the most startling chor- er and resolve if possible, to det them dd he must isrize his mind to the probability of nce being ‘ted to by ofir opponent: d to the best means of re- ling it If the contemplated frauds and violence shonld be successful, then is our Government at an end and constitutional liberty forever destroyed; while on the contrary, if the Whigs in defiance of the most bare- faced corruptions aid among every ies of violence, boldly vindicate their own character by sustaining the institutions and enforcing the laws of the land, they will forever crush the spirit of misrule now abroad, und teach the unprincipled of our opponents a lesson which will se- cure for years to come the Republican form of govern- ment under which we live. [From the New York Tribune.] Wuras or New Yorx!—Prerane ro Guanp! The following conversation took place on the 7th inatant, 2 neighboring village, between a prominent locofoco leader and manager of this city, and a locofoco of West chester county. We have the names of the parties, anda good witness, and shall publish them at a proper time, but for the present let it suffice that we know thatthe following isa full and literal statement of the conversa- tio York Locofoco —What majority do you expect to givelin Westchester county? duced by the party organs to their supporters mean. They are merely admonitions to the lawless and disorderly to be in readiness. And nothing shows more clearly the existence of the panic than this talk about physical force in the whiggorgans. We trust, however, that the virtuous and respectable friends of our republican institutions will unite for the purpose of preventing any scenes of violence at the polls, and so save the country from being again associated in all the journals of Europe with the outrages of a mob. Not only do these hints about fraud and physical torce indicate the existence of the growing panic in the whig ranks, but the new tactics of agitation adopted by the organs of that party very strikingly demonstrate the same fact, and their conscious- ness of the necessity of the introduction of some new themes of popular excitement, in order to cre- ate alittle additional buoyancy of spirit in the camp. During the last week there had been a lukewarmness in the Whig press, which but too strongly indicates the paralyzed condition of the internal fabric of that party. Now, however, it seems that a little cour- age has been plucked up, and a new movement made of a character different from any of the re- cent attempts to create an excitement on the old issues in the contest. The controversy on the Tariff has degenerated into the grossest absurdities and imbecility, having ended in miserable discus- sions about cottons and needles, and the price of warming-pans, and such ridiculous small wares. Then the discussion on the;Texas question, coupled with the letters of Mr. Clay and the speeches of Webster, Seward and others, has tended only to give strength, force and momentum to the Aboli- tion party, and thereby to abstract a large portion of the Whigs from the support of Mr. Clay. A Na- tional Bank is an unpopular topic here, where all the monied men are opposed to any such institu- tion, and it has been brought very little into play. All these topics then are dissipated and exhausted, so that scarce a vestage ot them remains that can be brought to bear upon the popular mind. What then is now the great theme of the whig leadera and editors? During the last few days we have seen the columns of the whig journals teem- ing with long stories about the importation of Bri- tish gold into this country, in order to aid in car- tying the election in favor of Mr. Polk and tree trade; and long quotations are made from English journals exhibiting subscription lists for the publi- cation of pamphlets in England, on the continent, and in this country, in favor of low duties. Well, to attribute to the English manufactures a desire of increasing the trade between the two countries, is very natural. That the manufacturers, both of France and England, would be very much rejoiced at the success of any party in this country, by whose legislative action the foreign trade would be augmented, and a larger import made, is very reasonable, and probably they might do something to produce such a consumma- tion if they knew how. But even admitting the existence of such a project, which we consider doubtful in the extreme—two-third imagination and one-third perverted fact—we doubt whether it could have any effect on this country,and the eager- ness with which the opinion is expressed, and the use made ot it, only show the prevalence and pow- er of the panic which exists in the whig party. Every one who is not blinded by fear must see that to the British government the election of Mr. Clay, aad the triumph of a party opposed to the Texas question, would be more desirable than the success of Mr. Polk and annexation. If the Bri- tish government could have their wishes reali- zed in this election, we have no doubt that the great interests of England, from the high- est to the lowest, would see a President and Con- gress elected that would reject the annexation of Texas, and let the Oregon question sleep the sleep of death, than any other party now before the country. Great Biitain has a greaterinterest as a nation in curtailing the dimensions of this great republic and diminishing the influence of its insti- tutions and its principles than in any augmentation of importations to the amount of twenty, thirty, or forty millions a year. But we do not believe that the British government, or the British interests of any kind, care one pin which party is uppermost in this country, whilst they are presented in the reign ofeither party with the spectacle of republican go- vernment successful. It they could create revolu- tion or digunion, or set in motion any spirit by which the incapability of man for self-government, could be proved by facts, that they would do that they would move heaven and earth to accomplish. But certainly the silly assertions as to the wishes and projects of the British government, put forth by the locofoco press; and those of British manu- Westchester Lo-ofoco.—From 600 to 800. What will you | facturers put forth by the Whig press, we regard as do in New York ? New York Locofoco.—We shall carry every thing—all the Congressmen, Assembly, &c. Westchester Locofoco.—What ? after such a result last spring? New York Locofoco.—Oh, the Natives got the start of us last spring. We didn’t expect them to poll such a vote, or we should have polled more. votes as we choose. Westchester Locofoco.—What do you mean ? New York Locofoco.—O, there are seventy-three Elec- tion Districts inthe city, and it ia a very easy matter to vote in anumber of those districts—I have Known men vote seventy odd times at one election. Westchester Locofoco.—Is n’t that wrong ? New York Locofoco.—Why, we must fight the whigs with their own weapons. The real vove of the city is only about 40,000, but we generally poll a good many more. Such, freemen of New York! are the means by which your opponents expect to overwhelm you in November. The New Yorker who made tho. - revelations to a politi- cal crony knows perfectly we!’ hat he is about and what his party are about. He knows why they made such haste to abolish the Regist;y Law the moment they had the power. He is in the secrets of his party, and spoke from intimate knowledge The locofocos mesn to y this city by voting over and over—they are now preparing to do it. They will do it if we do not meet, Wecan pollas many to-day ! Marne, Sept. 12th, 1844. Fsq.— efore this reaches you, you will have eral result of the State election in Maine. It is not much different from what was expected by close calculators, although not quite so good as some ardent people hoped. Whilst I would give full credit to the ‘whigs, so far as public meetings and banners and speak- ing is concerned, I know that there has beena want of personal effort and detail operation. Our business men, those most directly interested in the prevalence and per manency of the whig policy, have not entered upon the work personally and efficiently—by conversation and nt, and the statements of the results of their own e nce. We have relied too much upon public meet ings and the strong arguments of our strong men. The men to be convinced have toa great extent been absent from our meetings, and often kept away by unwearied ef. forts, Business has been good, and our near sighted men not seen that there was danger in the distanc ther States learn hefore it is too late that whi inge, &e &c., are well as one means of inter- deubgltening the public mind, that nothing— vill supercede or stand in the place of in » School District organization, awl tire-side di io, man to man, and face to face. Those who hev« stake must understand that they—every man of them, must work. Let the achool-houses be Lighted up. Yours, respectiully, {t will be perceived from these remarkably signifi- cant extracts, that the panic has been increasing very much, particularly since the Maine election, and that there is really very little doubt that every possible means will be resorted to by the unscru- pulous partizans of the Whigs, in order to prevent a total disorganization of theirranks. The Whigs are beginning to accuse the Locofeces of some terrible and frightful schemes of fraud, in order to carry the election ; and the Locofocos have already ac- cused the Whigs of entertaining the same infamous projects. No doubtthe unprincipled of both parties will endeavor to compass their ends by the perpe- tration of fraud upon the ballot box, while the honorable and virtuous of both will alike depre- cate such atrocious conduct. Bat the most interesting feature in these symp- toms of alarm and dread is, the allusion in the Courier and Enquirer to the probable resort to physical force on the day of election. With an excited community—both parties equally matched —and the spoils of the government, to the amount of 30 millions a year, in prospect as the reward of the rioters, and with some portions of the popular tion not exactly of the most virtaous or orderly character—we shall not be at all surprised if ter rible scenes of violence and bloodshed would dis- grace the chief rulers of this land at the next elec- tion. We all know very well what these prelimi- nary exhortations to abstain from violence, ad- elike ridiculous and absurd,—they ,are’ mere ma- nouvres of little politicians without the mind to grasp the strong points of human nature, or the ca- pacity to understand the very men whom they wish to influence. The Whig press and the Whig leaders in this part of the country, are in a perilous condition.— If they do net mend their course and alter their policy in all its essential features, they will be prostrated by the enthusiasm—the numbers, and the better tactics of the locofocos,before they know where they are. Temrest 1n a Tea Por.—We understand that young Captain Tyler, who is here now, and made a speech the other night at Tammany Hall, is in very great distress of body and mind because he was not reported fully in some of the papers. In revenge forithis slight put upon him by the “‘rascal- ly reporters,” as he poetically calls them, he has pose and baffle their villainy. Whigs! begin the work | determined to report himself at full length, and no- tified the world of the astounding fact yesterday. This is certainly his best remedy. This is accord ing to the usage at Washington. All those frothy, flatulent, gaseous, sound-and-fury speeches, which are not worth paper and ink, are reported by the orators themselves. The truth is, Captain Bob has been too much re- ported of late. His speeches are all as like each other, besides being as windy, as peas. A report ofone of them is a report of fifty. The young Captain, it is quite clear, knows nothing of the principles on which the reporting department of a newspaper is conducted by those “rascally” but somewhat useful beings, the reporters—they report all speeches worth reporting, and allow those which are not worth reporting to be reported by the speakers themselves. Perry Swinptine.—The practice of taking six- pences from the pockets of the poor Irish people, and other foreigners, under the pretence of trans- mitting their letters by packet ships across the At- antic. A very remarkable instance of this species of pettifogging has just been revealed to the world by the proprietors of one of the lines of packet shipsat this port. Every person who desires to be safe from imposition, and to have his letters sent to Earope, should carry them to the authorized agents of the packet ships, or to the Post office, and the postage is, in all casas, a shilling. “Executive Criemency.”—An article under this caption appeared in a morning print of Tues- day, stating that William Dingler, former proprie- tor of the Broadway Cottage, was pardoned. Such is not the fact. No executive clemency has been extended to him, although application after applica- tion has been made. einai emus More Fun.—There will be a bag of fun and frolic opened at the corner of West and Amos streets this afternoon. A hickory pole will be taised. See advertisement, “Usirep Brorurns or Tenperance.”—Thi large and influential body of temperance men had a great meeting at their hall in Broadway last eve- ning. A nuinber of our most influential merchants and professional men were initiated into the order. New Custom Hover.—Manchester, (Eng.) is going to have here bonded warehoures and a Cus- tom House. Tue Saints 1x Tue Common Covncu.—Tuuir Conscrencz Pricxine.—The new reform patty in the Common Council, who claim for themselves credit for a vast degree of morality—honesty—ho- liness—and all the virtues, appear by their organ to be in rather an uncomfortable dilemma in relation to the recent notices which we have made of their conduct. The saints in the corporation got into power on the faith of a deliberate promise, frequently re- peated before the people of this city, of reforming all abuses of former parties—of giving us police re- form—of purifying the courts of justice—and parti- cularly, of reducing the burdensome taxes of for- mer years imposed by former parties. Well, they have been in power for five months, and all that they have done has been merely the banishment of the poor old apple women, with their stands, from the Park—the abolition of the booths on the Fourth of July—and the celebration of the great anniversary by the help of tin cans planted around the fountain, out of which the people were called on to pour libations of dirty water to the genius of liberty. As to police reform—cleansing of the streets—the regulation of the omnibusses—as to all the other reforms promised so loudly, not one sin- gle thing has been done, or attempted to be done, And to crown this glaring want of faith, instead of diminishing the taxes, they have actually had the impudence to increase them to the tune of $237,- 000 beyond that of any former party, and for an excuse say that the Catholics and the Pope of Rome have made them do it! When we point out these disgraceful violations of solemn promises—we who were the first to sup- port them with any degree of efficiency—who helped them to the places they occupy—what do they reply? Do they attempt to deny any of these facts? Do they deny that they have thus far utterly neglected police reform? Do they deny that the streets, with the exception, perhaps, of Broadway occasionally, are filthier than ever? Do they deny that the omnibusses are not regulated, but, on the contrary, are more dangerous than ever tothe safety of the citizens who walk the streets? Do they deny that the taxes are enormously increased? No. They are obliged to admit all this, tor the damning facts are too glaring to be denied, even by such a shameless organ as that which represents this party. But they endeavorto divert public atten- tion from all this by abusing the individual who con- ducts the Herald, by calling him all sorts of bad names. By talking of “his miserable sheet,” of “‘men who have lived all their daysby calling out he woret passions of their fellows ;” ‘‘ wretches who subsist upon the garbage of literary offal, and enjoy the luxuries of the day purchased by the proceeds of sneaking, Paul-Pry-like, among the dirty linen of the best families in the country.” ‘Rascals who rob genteelly by printing slanders, and apologize for so doing with the extorted fee lying before them.” “Aliens, who have not even the moral courage to become naturalized.” ‘Vipers, who bite the hands that nourish them.” ‘ He whose life has been a reproach from the first day he landed here, a hungry Scotch adventurer, to partake of the chari- ties of the humane man he most abuses now.”— “*A fellow who has been kicked, cow-hided, pro- secuted, and proscribed into a show of semi-de- cency—a Catholic—without either tact or talent— this creature talks of the fuithleasness of the new Reform party, and the ‘low and vulgar scurrility’ of the ‘ miserable organ of Messrs. Harper & Co.’” By saying that ‘‘there never was a greater disor- ganizer than Bennett. He takes up embyro creeds and puffs them—by that peculiar style he has of magnifying gnats into camels—into notice. He made Mormonism.” ‘‘He has no right to dictate to Americans their line of duty.” ‘‘He is a subject ef Queen Victoria.” Such are specimens of the tone and language of those saints in the Common Council—such isa sample of the manner in which they attempt to ex- cuse themselves for their gross and utter faithless- ness. Are these your associates, Mr. Mayor Har- per? Is this the manner in which you mean to advocate the cause of city reform? Is this the sort of “organ” which you feed at the public ta- ble? {a this the character of Mr. Mayor Harper’s accredited newspaper ? The truth is, these saints appear to be perfectly maddened by the exposure of their faithlessness and worthlessness. They are determined to keep in the high-way to universal contempt and detes- tation. When the people cried for bread they have given them a stone—when they promised retorm and reduction of taxes, they meant only to deceive us and load us with an immense additional burden of taxation. How can any of their dupes now put any confidence in their talk about repeal of the naturalization laws? How can they expect that any members of Congress or Assembly men which they may put forward will receive any support ex- cept from those who are feeding on the spoils!— We will see before this fall election is over the sentiment of the people of this city with respect to this party, and next spring will pronounce still more audibly and significantly the public opinion of those saintly reformers. DiapoicaL ATTEMPT TO CREATE ANOTHER Fan- ATIcAL OUTBREAK IN PPiLADELPHIA.—Since the commencement of the trial of Daily for the mur- der of Hammitt in Philadelphia, the Criminal Court has been beset by a number of persons, endeavor- ing to excite the idlers around by false tales of the jury and surmises of the result, to such an extent that the authorities have been obliged more than once to interfere to check the strong appearance of violence and disturbance which prevailed. The most atrociouspiece of villainy, however, wae ex- emplified on Tuesday in the vicinity of the Court House, and elsewhere, in the circulation of print- ed copies of the following infamous production: you have for the Viegin Mary ood our meer bey tohiore not to commit any breach of the peace during the trials of any of our brethren, for rest assured they are in the ha ds of those who, at all hazards, will acquit them, and thereby eat ish moro fully the holy doctrines of our church, and the overthrow of the heretic and scbismatic protestants, the enemies of civil and religious liberties, Francis Parricx, Bp. Philadelphia.” The principal object of the fraud is, evidently, to send the impression abroad, that there is an under- standing between the Catholic Bishop and the jury who are sitting upon Daily’s trial, which will ren- der him safe, under all circumstances, and acquit him, at all hazards. Another object is, no doubt, to raise a fresh hue and cry against the Catholics— to predispose the public mind to believe, that if Daily should chance to be acquitted, it will be by Irish Catholic intluence; and to make some kind of an apparently plausible pretext for farther out- rage and destruction. The authorities have taken some steps to discover, and bring to punishment, the author of it, in which it is to be hoped they will be successful. Arrivats.—Capt. J. Mackay, U.S. A., at the American, Mr. W. H. Crisp, comedian, from Eng- land, at the Astor House ; Capt. Tinker, Conn.; Gen. D. O’Killog, Albany; Hon. P.

Tur Weatwer.—The Edgefield (S.C ) Adver- tiser says: For some time past, this section of country has been suffering from an excessive drought. We do not remember ever seeing more dust ai this season of the year. The streams were beginning to fail, and vegetation was greatly withered by the unusual heat On the night of the 9th inst. a change of weather took place. At an mest hour the rain commenced falling and continued throughout the night.

This isthe first of “the three glorious days,” de- dicated to the farming and agricultural interests of this great county ; and not only this, but the whole country, generally, may be fairly expected to par- ticipate in the benefits resulting from these institu- tions. The more important business is to be trans- acted on the lust two days, to-morrow and Thurs- day, for the exhibition does not take place to-day, although preparations, of the most extensive kind, are in progress for that event. In order to facilitate these arrangements, the several committees are to-day fully organized and in session, under whose directions all things are going on with an even progression which is really delightful, and striking, when the variety of busi- ness to be attended to is considered ; and here it strikes me as highly proper and just to mention thie admirable arrangements made for the accommoda- tion of the press, a matter which has often afforded cause of complaint, and the neglect of which, al. though of frequent occurrence, causes much incon- venience to those who are laudably desirous of ap- rizing the public of the proceedings of not only po- Titieal pation but of every great movement of the age. Every gentleman composing the committees is full of alacrity to give all information to those of the press sought for. To Henry © Rially, Exq., Albany, Recording Secretary of the State Agricul- tural Society, our best thanks are due for the courtesy evinced by him, and the solicitude with which accommodation, not to be excelled, has been furnished. Benjamin P. Johnston, Esq., Cor- responding Secretary, and John P. Beekman, Esq. President of the Society, have also been mi friendly ; but it would be tedious to specify, this moment, the names of all who could be men- tioned in the same category. The several officers and committees of the State Agricultural Society have their head quarter’s at Rutzer’s Poughkeepsie Hotel,—a comfortable and well conducted place. Luel ey he who has se- cured a vorner in this establishment, which is the more sought after because of its ceatral situation.

Rielly of Albany. _ Gee The principal business of to-day consists in the ‘entries and disposal of articles and objects for ex hibition and competition, and the trial of imple ments of which an endless variety are already to be seen in the several places—tor the rule here is, “a place for every thing, and every thing in its place.” That leading and characteristic imple ment, the Plough, is represented largely and under a variety of forms. A trial under the supervision of the proper authorities, took place at 10 o’clock this morning, on the farm of Wm. Worrell, about a quarter of a mile from the Fair ground. We were present at this operation, and counted about twenty ploughs of different owners and of variour constructions. The field chosen was well adapted, but the soil, owing to the long continued drought, in an unfavorable condition for making handsome work. The annexed list furnishes a few of the names of those whose ploughs were submit ted for trial this morning :—Peter F Pro- scius, Kinderhook; Howard Delano, Madville ; M. OD. and J. _H. Cadding, Rochester ; Jas. B. Moore, Wilmington, Del.; William W. Chase, Amsterdam; E. ewley Brooklyn, L. {.; Edgar Sleight, Fishkill; F. D. Burrell, Geneva The attendance of spectators was not very large, ag this trial is considered as of secondary import- ance to the great ploughing match that comes of] on Thursday forenoon, and at which there doubt. less will be a large assemblage. Nothing could be more complete than the efficiency of those instru- ments, tested this morning; but as to the result, nothing can be known until late on Thursday, when the several premiums will be awarded, and the successful competitors receive the reward of their diligence and ingenuity. i Premiums to the amount of five hundred in num- ber are this year to be competed for, and are pay- able immeditately after the deliveryofthe addresses on Thursday evening. From the annexed imper- fect list of some of the premiums offered, some idea may be formed of the comprehensive views of the Association, and the wide spread range of its operation on matters connected with and dear to the farming interests of the Society. MANAGEMENT OF FARMS. For skill and improvent in the management of a farm taking into view the land, stock and produce, with all the appendages. be premium, a gold medal—second and third silver medals. No premium will be awarded unless an accurate de- scription of the farm and statement of the crops, &c., with all the expense ofthe management and profit of the farm, is furaished. These premiums will be awarded only to those whose farms are improved in a manner that renders them examples worthy of imitation.

Numerous arrivals by the several steamers up and dows last night and teres have swelled the numbers veryperceptibly; and amongst. these arri- vals we note eminent agriculturists from almost every State in the Union, and the British Pro- vinces. To-night an important accession may be. expected to our numbers, and the exhibition of to-morrow, will, it is fairto expect, be as gay and instructive in its effects as it is commendable 1n its objects. I shall give a description of the field of action to-morrow—until when, scarcely anything can occupy my mind, but the thousand and one in- teresting objects of which I have been a curious spectator since eaily this morning. A. Theatricals, There was a pretty fair house at the Park last night to see Mr. Macready’s Macbeth. It was a very curious study to mark the contrast presented by the audience at this theatre last night to those which in former years—in the palmy days of the le gitimate drama—were, wont to assemble at “Old Drury.” Where was the dress circle, crowded with fair dames, dressed in the highest style of fashion and glittering with jewelry? Where were the leaders of fashion? There was not one lady in fall dress, and the only pair of white kid gloves in the house cevered the delicate hands of a waiter from the Astor House, who had got a whole eve- ning’s leave, and had taken his betrothed, a blooming Irish lassie, ‘to see Macready.” The opera house is now the only place of amusement where the “ fashionables” are to be seen—and their lists, how changed—scarcely one of “the old familiar faces” to be seen amongst them. And yet the Park was well filed—and so was the Chatham—and the Bowery—and Niblo’s—and Palmo’s. Rice and Negro extravaganza at the Chatham—blood and murder and peanuts at the Bowery—the “Bell-Ringers” at Niblo’s—and the “Ethiopean Minstrels” at Palmo’s. These latter artists belong to a numerous class which has lately started into existence—vulgar, rude, and outre enough, in all conscience,and yet attracting crowds of the most respectable and most precise of the community. The taste for all sorts of dramatic and musical entertainments,it is evident, has greatly increased. The golden age is dawning on us again, and peo- ple have"plenty of “quarters” to spare. For along time to come this country must be the great har- vest-fieldof all sorts of ‘‘stars” in the theatrical and musical line. Mr. Eprror: Having observed in your valuable paper an an- nouncement of the arrival of Mr. Henry Philips, the celebrated vocalist, I would beg leave to pre- sent to that gentleman, through you, the wishes of a number of the occupants of Howard’s Hotel, now sojourning in this city, frequently and cordially expressed, within the last two days, to hear the performances of this distinguished gentleman in the course of the ensuing week. Many of us now here are compelled to leave the city at the close of the next week. Some amongst us to go the back woods, others to the Far West, and never again shall we have, in all probability, an opportunity of hearing such singing as (judging by the report of tame) we have never heard before, and most like- yy shall never hear again. Will you then, Mr. ditor, use your influence with Mr. Philips to in duce him to give a concert next week, and thereby much gratify, amongst thousands of other transient persons similarly circumstances, the sojourners at Howarp’s EL. Nover Psrrormer at tHE Crrcus.—Signorina Antonia Benveuntti, an Italian artiste, from Fran- coni’s, Paris, has arrived, and will appear at the Bowery Circus on Monday next. She vaults, tum- bles, somersetts, and performs other gymnastic feats equal to any of the masculine champions o/ the arena, She has the advantage of youth and beauty with her other accomplishments. Fur Traprrs.—Four Indian traders from Chari- tonCo , Missouri, were attacked and plundered about 250 miles abode St Peters, a few weeks ago, by a party of Lisiton Sioux Indians. ' Mr. Turner was drewned subsequently, in endeavoring tocrossa river, and Mr Bennett was the only, one of the four who escaped. Col. Bruce has left Fort Snelling, for the purpose ot arresting the offenders. Tue Corron Crop wiurep sy Droveut.—The Abbeville (3. C.)

The gas immediately exploded, igniting at the same time, a quantity of spirits that remained at the bot- tom of the cistern, The boy was violently dashed down, whilst the unfortunate man remained enveloped in the flames. He was at length rescued by the heroism of a comrade jnamed|Wm.|Ramrey who,fearlessly plunged into the buramg fluidjand brought up Carson, just as the vital spark was departing. He was dreadfully sco ched about the face, hands and breast, and died almost mmediately. Ramsey had the narrowest escase possible. An inquest will be held to-morrow on the body of the deceased, who belonged to the Society of Odd Fellows, and who has left, itis |, considerable property.
