NEW YORK HERALD. and Prospects of the Whigs—Senti- ments of the New York Whig Press. We give in this day"s paper, in another portion of our columns, some y“ry curious extracts from the leading whig journals of yesterday, relative to the prospects and position of the whig party at the present crisis. The first extracts are taken from the Zribwne, which has a large circulation through- out the interior of this State, amongst the whigs, and is the special organ of a particular clique of whigs in this city. The other extracts are taken from the Courier & Enguirer, which is considered as the representative of the financial class of the whigs, as its contemporary is of the office-beggars, speculators, philosophers, Fourierites, and all that sort of thing. It willbe perceived from the spirit and tone of these remarks, that the whig party, at the present moment, is precisely in that singular condition of pauie and alarm, and inthe very midst of that peculiar crisis which we have been describing tor some time past, and to which we have called the at‘eation of all parties throughout the country.— We hive always contended, from past facts in the history of ourelections, that, generally speaking, the whigs constitute the great mass oi the people, who are opposed to the pure democratic policy, but that it was very seldom that they could be brought out to the polls in their full force, nor in tact giv- ing a practical demonstration of their majority, un- less at a period of unusual and universal political excitement. It is now very evident that the whigs themselves—the whig leaders especially of every clique—are beginning te understand their tue po- sition, and that what we have «always represented to be the case is quite correct, to wit, that the or- ganization of the abolition or ‘liberty party,” which has been mainly produced by the agitation of the slave question by John Quincy Adams, Daniel Webster, and others, has brought the whigs into a very critical pass, so that the “liberty” men may be said—as far as the whiga are concerned—to hold the balance of power in the northern and middle States. The Tribume itself admits this in the plainest terms. It acknowledges in the most un- equivocal manner the accuracy of our view of the present position of the whig party, the causes which have reduced them to that position, its dangers, and the prospects of the future. The Tribune says that ‘should the abolition party increase in the like ratio this year as in former years, and should they be drawn as heretofore from the whig ranks, such a fact might endanger the triumph of the whig party next November.” This is precisely the posi- tion which the whigs have occupied for some time | ~here is the rock on which they are to split if they do not move hereafter with the greatest care and caution, They have been brought into this position by their own leaders and organs—by tae bad policy of tieir principal leaders in Congress— by the folly of Seward and those who have follow- ed in his wake in NewYork—and in some respects by the violent opposition made to the annexation of Texas by Mr. Webster and those who adhere to him in the northern and middie States. ‘There never was a greater mistake made by any party than thatinto which Mr. Webster and the leader of the whigs have falien in relation to the annexation of Texas. This was merely a question whether this country would enlarge its cotton fields in the South, so as to cheapen the prices of that article for the manufacturers in the East, extending at the same time our markets for manu- factures and produce, to th~ exclusion of the Bri- ust and European manufacturers and merchants from that wide field. Bat instead of regarding the question in that practical and popular light, it has been looked at with the eyes of a mere politician by Mr. Webster, and he has endeavored to make ita political question, mixing it up, too, with the abstractions ef slavery and abolition, and other things with which it had little or nothing to do, as Mr. Clay himselt has very properly remarked. It has been in consequence of assuming the unwise and dengerous position frem which he cannot now recede, that Mr. Webster has reduced the whig party to its present critical condition. All thee movements—speeches—songs—and de- clarations of the press, abeut the annexation of Texas and the perpetuation of slavery, have only tended to increase and strengthen the abolitionists aad weaken the forces of the whigs. Itis true that the 7vibume thinks, or effects to think, that in the presentstate of things as many abolitionists will be abstracted from the democratic ranks as from those of the whigs—butthis is somewhat doubtful, and it is against all previous facts, all past expe- ce. Heretofore it has been very clearly shown that the great mass of the abolitionists comes from the whig party. With respect to our ethercontem- porary, the Courier and Enquirer, it seems to have plucked up a little courage, and is endeavoring, by all means, to get all the whig forces into the field, so asto secure a victory. In this, we believe, the Courier is quite correct, and is sustained by all the experience of the past. But while the whig press are thus deliberating and admitting the perilous condition in which they stand, we are very sorry to see the violence, the personality, the gross slanders, the impudent abuse, with which they assail every one and every thing that they dislike. Only mark what ridiculous assertions and what preposterous slanders this very Tribune —which admits the truth of all in relation to the whig party that we have ever said—utters in relation to the Herald and its editor or editors! He asserts positively that we are “bought”— that we have “received money from England”— that we are “a deliberate deceiver’—and all sorta of violent abuse is heaped upon us. We are even charged with entertaining the most hostile designs against the whigs, because we did not send our ‘unrivalled corps” of repor- ters to Boston Common for the purpose of reporting Mr. Webster's speech! Well, who ever imagined that as chairman of the meeting he was going to deliver the great speech of the occasion? We wish we had known that, and we certainly would have sent our ‘‘uarivalied corps” there. But we shall take care to report Mr. Webster when he speaks in Philadelphia next week. It is hardly possible, how- ever, for us to reply to the violentand vulgar abuse which the Tribune pours out against the Herald and all persons connected with it. Jn whatever we aid of the whigs, we have been sustained by the declarations » aad even by and ad of this very pri the Tribune it- if 2 further than the whig journals t ve and we refer every ional 1 candid to our columns for the proof, We have 1 that whig party are admonished by the ent crisis to put forth all their energies—so has the Tribune. We have said that if the abolitionists increase as they have done heretofore, there ie great danger to the whigs —so hasthe Tribune. We have said that the abe- litionists have hitherto been abstracted chief ly trom the whig ranks—so has the Tribwne ‘We have said that if the abolitionists unite in RO- ing for their own candidate, there is reason to fear that the whig triumph in Noveinber may be endan- gered—so has the Tribune. And yet that print, with a degree of effrontery, stupidity, and tolly, to which no parallel can be found out of its own co- jumas, actually comes forward and accuses us of having Leen paid to utter the same truths which 11 has been proclaiming—aceuse us of endeavoring to destroy the whig party, by sounding in its ears the very tame admonitions which it iteelf is now at the eleventh hour shoutng aloud ! Which, we ak oll calm, intelligent, and rational men in the whig party ich has been the bestfriend of thei cause, the Herald, that has all uloug been pointio oat the coming danger and admouishing to incu bent duty, or this Zribwne which is now disgusting every decent man, and disgracing the party by its ulgar and violent abuse of the Herald for pub- lishing those im portant truths, which it never had the sagacity to discover or the fidelity to declare, and has only been at last forced to admit to the very letter? Asto our being ‘against a protective tariff”— “against all banks and paper money”—and the “determined champion of the Sub-Treasury,” we beg leave to differ from our contemporary. We have always been in favor of a tariff, incidentally protective. We have always been in favor of banks, when well regulated, but against all rotten paper money and badly-regulated banks; whilst as to the Sub-'Treasury we have always ridiculed it in the severest terms, regarding it as a gross fallacy in finance. If any other opinions on these subjects have ever found their way into our columns, it has been without our knowledge, and they bave been immediately revoked as contrary to the views of the conductor of the Herald. But it is, ‘indeed, one of the most amusing things in the world to ob. serve the extreme sensitiveness of the whig press and whig leaders with respect to what is said of them, or the relative position of the two parties, inthe New York Herald. \t would appear from | this that they regard us as preserving the con- trol over both parties—that we can give vic- tory to either of the candidates. We beg, how. ever, to disclaim all such equivocal honors—all such mysterious influence over the fertunes of the rival candidates. We do not care a button which of the two parties achieves victery next Novem- ber. We are almost perfectly indiflerent whether the laurel encircle the brow of Mr. Polk, or adorn the head of Mr. Clay. But we must say, that if we have any wish atall in the matter, we would rather see Mr. Clay, in spite of all the charges against him, elected President. Because Mr. Clay isa known statesman—identified with the history of hiscoun- try—a bold and fearless mun, and would, we be- lieve, conduct the affairs of government with dis- cretion, dignity and success ; settling at a proper time the Texas question, in such a man- mer as would secure the peace of the country from any disturbance or interruption, just as he settled the Missour: question. Mr. Polk ie rather an obscure man—a good man, a moral, harmless, pious man, but still we doubt very much whether he possesses the intellectual calibre and the force of character tobe himself the President. And now, ence for all, if the whigs mean to elect their man, they must change their tactics. The violence—the personality—the folly—the inde- cency—the fabrications of the newspaper organs, have outraged many of their own friends. For years past, the principal whig journals, instead of honestly fand faithfully advancing the interests of the great whig cause, have been occupying them- selves in warring against the New York Herald, and that without any provocation whatever, but merely to gratify the malignant feel- ings of a few individuals who have been Me. Puiuirs’ Musica, Enrertainments.—The enthusiastic interest excited in the fashionable and musical circles by Mr, Phillips’ entertainment on Monday evening last, at the Apollo Rooms, is quite extraordinary. But we fully anticipated this. The exalted reputation of this gentleman, who has for a considerable period stood in the very foremost rank of composers and vocalists, was sufficient to secure for him a more than usually warm reception from the American people —a people who are ever ready to extend to genius the cordial welcome which it merits. The expec- tations with respect to Mr. Phillips were very high, but certainly they appeared to be fully met on Monday evening. The novel and attractive manner in which the songs were introduced—the songs themselves—the wonderful voice and inimi- table manner of the great vocalist—rendered this entertainment altogether unique and delightful. Many of the songs were sung for the first time on this side of the Atlantic. Such, for instance, was that spirit-stirring lyric by Dryden—“ A Sea Fight,” which first introduced him to the notice of the Court of Charles, and paved for him the way to fortune. Here it is, the very reading of the words stirs up the soul to its depths—imagine the | effect when sung by Mr. Phillips:— A SEA FIGHT. DRYDEN. Who ever saw a noble sight, ‘That never viewed a brave sea fight? Hang up your gallant colors in the air— Up with your lights; and your nettings prepare. Your merry mates cheer; with a lusty bold Soright, Now each man his brindice; and then to the fight. St. George, St. George, we cry— The shouting Turks reply— Who ever, &c. Oh! now it begins, and the gun room grows hot, Ply it with culverin; and with small shot. Hark; does it not thunder? no! ’tis the guns’ roar, The neighboring billows are turned into gore. Now each man must resolve to die, For here the coward cunnot fly. Drums and trumpets toll the knell, ‘And culverins the passing bell. {And now they grapple, and now board amain; Blow up the hatches; they’re off all again, Give them a broadside; the dice run at all, Down comes the mainmast, and yards and tacklings fall. She grows giddy now, like blind fortune’s wheel; She sinks, there, sh ks, she turns up her keel. ‘Who ever beheld so noble a sight, As this 6o brave, so gallant sea fight. By way, we suppose, of contrasting the modera song-writers with those of Mryden’s time, Mr. Phillips introduced two lyrics from the pen of Gen. Geo. P. Morris. The effect produced on the audi- ence by this transition, we may not attempt tode- scribe. But let us, at all events, give the immor- tality of our columns to a single stanza from one of the “ General’s” songs— The Rock of the Pil- gtims”—a subject touched in a passable way by Mrs. Hemans, before the muse of the ‘ General” alighted upon it, (we are inclined to imagine ona rather frosty morning in the month of December)— ‘The Pilgrims of old an example have given Of mild resignation, devouon and love, ‘Which beams like the star in the blue vault of heaven ; A beacon light hung in their mansion above. In church and cathedral we kneel in our pray mortified by our success, and are stung to death by daily witnessing the powerful influ- ence which we wield as an independent journalist. The slanders, folly, and personality of such men as Thurfow Weed and Horace Greeley would en- danger any cause, however good and however prosperous. Such malignant, scurrilous and abu- sive journalists are the greatest curses to any poli- tical party, operating in their destructive influence as insidiously, as perséveringly, and as fatally as those poisonous insects of tropical climates which fasten themselves on the healthiest and most vi- gorous bodies, and burrowing in the flesh of their victims, spread corruption and @eath throughout every limb. The whig party must now counteract the mischevous agency oi these intestine enemies, or defeat is unavoidable« Thus much for to-day. To-morrow we shall en- ter into a minute and philosophical investigation of all the elections which have taken place for twenty years past, and show that it is possible yet for the whigs, if they conduct the remainder of the campaign with decency and dignity, to recover their lost ground and elect Mr. Clay, although it may be with the loss of the House of Representa- tives. ASTOUNDING LNTELLIGENCE—EXPLOSION OF THE “Native” Panty—anp Tre-ToTaL DisarPkAaRANCE or THe ““NationaL Rerormers !”’—Yesterday af- ternoon was indeed pregnant with the fate of two of the mightiest political, religious, moral, reform- ing movements of the age—the “native” reform- ers and the “National Reformers.” Who would have thought it? The sky was anclouded—the air cool and bracing—the moon arose in more than usual splendor—no portentous omens appeared in the heavens—men went quietly about their ordi- nary business—women smiled and scolded—and the children asked for Sherman’s Lozenges, just as if aothing extraordinary was going on. Butmean- while the “native” convention met, and after a scene of unexampled moral, political, philosophi- cal, reforming, and “native” sublimity, the whole body exploded. The convention adjourned till the 15th of November, for the purpose of making their nominations after the election was over! For all the particulars, see the repert in another column. Now, we do verily believe, never has there been afforded such an illustration of the lines of the im- mortal poet :— ‘The King of France with twenty thousand men, Marched up the hill, and then—marched down again ! Equally astounding 1s the news from the camp of the ‘‘ National Reformers.” The whole party, it would appear, has evaporated—vanished, like the ghost in Virgil, into thin air. Our reporter went to the foot of Canal street, in order to attend the great mass meeting, which had been summoned there at that hour, for the purpose of hearing the reports of the nominating committees for mem- bers of Congress. But alter waiting nearly an hour, and not the slightest appearance of a meeting being presented, our reporter left. Thus it appeare that in the vortex of the {present political excite- ment, both these miner factions have been swal- lowed up and totally disappeared for the present time at least. For the explosion of the “natives” we have been for some time quite prepared. The violence —seurrility—folly—and fatthlessness of that party, were, it was evident to all, fast hurrying them to ruin, They have doubtless got their lasting quie- tus. But the other new movement—the “nu. tional reformers”—will revive after the election, and with the aid of the Fourierites, the Tyibune, and the social reformers of all classes, may attain a strength and importance of which many do not dream at present. Mr. Wronsver is here, on his way to Philadel- phia, and there is some expectation that he will address the great whig meeting to-morrow after+ noon, at National Hall, in Canal street, for the purpose of cerrying out the project of union be- tween the wihigs and abolitionists, and the with. drawal of Birney, the black eandidate. All cer- tainly hangs on that point justnow. If Mr. Web- ster speaks, we will certainly report him, so that the Tribune need not suffer any distress of mind on that point, and we shall, also, take eepecial care to send our “unrivalled corps” to Philadelphia for the purpose of reporting his great speech there. We are desirous to gratify all the reasonable de- mands of the whig papers, and all the reporting We will do gratis. Possibly, however, if we re” port Mr. Webster well, the British government may send us over a present. But, at any rate, we shall report him, and if the Barings have another $5,000 to epare, they can send it this way. We promise thern that weshan’t be at all offended. priabrcaieathc hia} Tie Weatuek—We are blessed with magnifi cent weather, On Saturday night we had a bit of a gale with some rain, but ri from that, we have escaped the rain that } faiied all around us, within # circle of one hundred and fifty miles, 1] appears that in ail the “ blows” and gales of thie fall, this city has happened to be in the centre thereof. We are glad to escape thus, and hope that, if the existing weather is the punishment of Much escapes, may we continue to be so fortunal ‘Their temple and chapel were valley and hill— But God is the same in the aisle or the air, And He is the Rock we lean upon still. Here, we are decidedly of opinion, the sentiment is, like the ‘ General’s” regimentals, altogether unexceptionable, but ‘further deponent saith not.” So—so—after this, we think we may treat our readers to another of those old songs, which thrill- ed the hearts of men and women two hundred years ago:— LOVE’S ERRAND, waiter, 1640, Go, lovely Rove, Tell her that wastes her tim How sweet and fair she seems to be. ‘Tell her that’s young, And shuns to have her graces spied, ‘That haast thou sprang In deserts where no men abide, ‘Thou must have uncommended died. Small is the worth Of beauty from the light retira, Bid her come forth, Suffer herselfto be desir’d, And not blush so to be admir’d. Then die, that she, ‘The common fate of all things rare May read in thee— How emall a part of time they share That are so wondrous sweet and fair. Reader, if you would indeed escape this weary world, and all its dust and turmoil, for an hour, go to Mr. Phillips’ entertainment this evening. We pity him or her who will not come away happier and better. AnoTueR Propuer Arriven.—During the last few days we have had a great many distinguished arrivals here in the philosophical, moral, religious and prophetic line. We have enumerated the cele- brated Robert Owen, also Madame D’Arusment, the propogators of a new order of society, in ad- dition to several valuable Mormon importations from the West. We have now to mention the ar- rival of a celebrated prophet, priest, or king, who is also bent on upsetting every thing, and com- mencing a new movement for the regeneration of the present order of affairs. His name we believe is Edward P. Page, and yesterday we received the following proclamation, which he has issued to the whole world and New York in particular, containing an account of his sublime views of the destinies of the human race. Here it is:— A Merry Key ror America. Her Pope of the West, with his St. Peter’s Key, ‘Will send to hell all feuds of idolatry Crusadera,—to arms !—The beatific Vision, that vanish- ed atthe fell of man from the light of Nature,—has to Earth returred !—It is mine !— Old was merely a map or chart of my New Jerusalem, whose 601,730 inheritors see Numbers, Chap. XVI) have whilom formed Scotland’s 24 beds of stone coal (a bed to each Platonical great year), according to a thou sand orbits of Nonh’s flood comet, each 576 years, in har- mony with a thousand Chaldee solar cycles (that serve to show the returns of new moons), each Nozh’s age at the flood, and Shem’s full age. The Phenix bird, Faber states, lived these 600, also 1000 years. Let him also live the Hindoo Prajanatha—Yuga’s circle of 810 degrees, each the wor!d’s recorded age this year : that period reverses the cardinal points of the compas: Sure as the divinely good God exists a triangle omnipo- tent in matter, omnipresent in space, omniscient in Time!!!

I, in the character of typical high priest of nature, will head the procession. My flag should display St. Peter's Key to the circle of no variations. EK. N. W. 666 years. — It is the greatest curiosity in Nature’s Museum. Jonah’s Whale is atype of my Church Triumphant, which feeds on thove herrings, all the churches militant, 938 daye (or years) the period of this Constellation Cetus, regulates half these 666 EDWARD POSTLETHWAIT PAGE, No. 259 Spring street New York, Sept'r, 230, 1844, An oininous solstitial date, As we are among the sinners, and are not espe- e@ ally overburdened with faith in this new revela- tion, we profess that we do not exactly understand the purposes of the above proclamation, but we suppose it has some meaning to those who have faith enough to find it out. The only paragraph in it which we are able to fathom, is that relative to the diet of Jonah’s whale, which it appears fed on herrings. If that be so, the whale must have had hard work with Jonah, and whales in those days must have had good taste, for herrings are good— particularly fresh herrings, and,indeed, for our own part, we have no objections to potted herrings But however all that about the herrings may be, we recommend this new revelation to all who are in want of a fresh religion; and we haad over Prophet Page to the good wishes of sinners through- out the country. Faom Cienrurcos.—We learn from Captain Shankland, of the Madeliue, (rom Cienfuegos, Cu ba, (whence he sailed on the 28h ult.), that Dr Wolt, agent of the American Mining Company, and eight of the miners, had been arrested by the Governor, on a charge of being implicated in the late negro troubles on the Jsland, i American Kepublican Convention—Adjourn- ed Meeting. Pursuant to adjourament from yesterday even- ing, the American Republicans re-assembled in convention at 4 o’clock, P. M., yesterday. It was near five, however, before the proceedings began. Mr. Townsend took the chair, and Mr. Prall acted as Seeretary. ‘The minutes of yesterday’s business having been read by the Secretary, they were adopted ; the roll was then called and the report ofthe committee, appointed to select candidates for the offices of Governor and, Lieutenant Governor, asked for. A considerable pause ensued, and no committee was forthcoming ; at last, one of its members named, we believe— Mr. Twavax, rose to say that owing to some misunder- standing,the committee had failed to meet at his house ec- cording to appointment, and he submitted that fact in ex- planation of the absence of any report from the commit- tee. Pacsipent, (after a pause)—That is to be accepted only as an explanation. hat is to be done, gentlemen, on the important question ? ir. Ames—I{ move that the convention do adjeurn till Monday. (Several voices, ‘ No, no.”) Mr. THayae said it would be better to settle the com- mittee affair first, and recommended that an extension of time be granted to them to make their report ‘The P..xstpenr then put the question—" That the com- mittee have leave to sit again.” Adopted. Mr. Amxs then moved, ‘ That when the committee sets all be on Monday next, and that in the several committees and delegates us ence with the various wards and towns in favor of the nominations.” Mr. Ames supported this motion in a speech, in whieh he deplored the division existing among them, and put them im mind of the fact, that some of the delegates were directly instructed against the nominations. As for him- self, he felt that he could not act willingly, as he was convinced that there was not o fair sxpreie of public epinion ; he recognized the people as the sovereigns, and they were not with them on that occasion. Ali they had to do was to carry out the will ot their constituents, proce was agreeable with the spirit of the law of the Paesipent.—Has any gentleman anything to say? I heartily wish that we may be unanimous. Another member, whose name we could not ascertain, declared that on his way home, last night, he was beset with his constituents, and had to take the tye) to prop up the convention, wnich he could not do, for his heart did not bear him out init.

G W. Barton was to address a Democratic meeting yes ferday evening in Southwark, Philedelphis, Grand Crivket Match for 1,000 Dollars, be- tween the Players of Canada, and the St, George’s Club of this City. This grand match, which hes excited for some time past, considerable notice of the residents on both sides of the St. Lawrence, particularly the natives of the old country, was announced to com- mence yesterday morning at 10 o’clock, on the ground of the St. George’s Club, near the Bloom- ingdale Road. About the hour mentioned, cen- siderable numbers were assembled, and the prelim- inaries were entered into between the two coatend- ing parties, most sutisfactorily. It was agreed upon that the running should continue, no matter where the ball was driven, until the judges were satisfied it was a lost ball. Mr. H. Russell, of Brooklyn, was elected umpire or judge, on behalt of the St. George’s Club ; and Mr. Waller, on behalf of the Canadians. They then proceeded to toss for the innings, which was won by the St. George’s Club, who called upon the Canadian players to go in. This they did in evident good spirits, and with every confidence. The betting at the commence- ment was even, the Canadians, if anything, having the call, and some heavy bets were made— it was said that not less than 100,000 dollars were depending on the result. New hats and new coats were required in great abundance, if a person might judge from what was taking place around; and in one or two instances a dozen of shirts was not objected to, nor a pair of boots des- pised—and drinks from «ginger pop to a bottle of ehampaign, without numbers, About twenty min- utes befure 12 o’clock, the play commenced, Mr. Groom taking the ball for bowling, the Canadian players going in, in the following order :— Finest Inmana: Mr. Wentworth, r.o... “ Wilson, b Wright Birch, c. Bage. . Barber, ria Bt, ,h. wb. Bxa--S-eo Slax=Sloo Mr. Groom’s excellent left handed bowling at first appeared somewhat to nonplus Messrs. Went- worth and Wilson, the latter of which only lived about 8& minutes under it, but the former soon made himself use to it, and existed bat in hand for upwards of an hour and a quarter. The held- ing at the early part of the game was rather indit- ferent, but as it proceeded there was evident signs of improvement. Mr. Birch proved himself a most beautiful batter, and was much admired, although his reign was brief, only some seven or eight minutes, when he was caught in capitu! style by Mr. a a «Mr. R. Tickner missed catch- ing a ball, which would have made a cousiderable difference in the featnre of the game, although he made every effort to the contrary. Mr. Symes? fielding was as good as evar, and elicited con-ider- able approbation. Mr. Wentworth’s play was very cautious and steady; he appeared to be deter- mined not to give achance away. Mr. Tiuson, as wicket-keeper, was most excellent; indeed, he appeared as if few could surpass him in that situa- tion. Mr. French’s play elicited great applause; he made the first four runs so far. Mr. Maddock’s play was cool, cautious, and steady, and bore his bat in triumph off the field. Mr. Dudson proved himself an excellent long stop throughout this in- nings, which terminated about two o’clock. Of the fielding throughout, the byes speak sufficiently. About three o’clock the members of the St. George Club went in in as good spirits as their opponents, many of their admirers backing them at even, and their innings against the former, not- withstanding the array igures that stood against them. Mr. Wentworth took the ballfor bowling, and Mr. Turner received the first ball, being sup- ported at the other wicket by Mr. R. Tickner.— Out of the first twelve balls they received they made eight runs in about fifteen minutes. Mr. Turner’s play was most beautiful aud steady. Mr. Wentworth’s bowling was grand; he played dead at the wicket with great force. The play was much admired by all onthe ground thus far, with every Ser ian of improvement as it proceeded Mr R. Tickner remained in thirty-seven minates, and his play was much admired, though not very successful ‘in his scorings. Mr. Wright was de- clared: out by one of the udges, the ball striking his knee, from which it bouuded and was caught. Mr. J. Tickner was still more unfortunate, he was declared out by his leg before wicket, although it was the general opinion that the ball struck his bat previous; this last decision gave a great degree of dissatisfaction. Some nice finesse was played by the fielders by which several runs were pre- vented. Mr. Wentworth was struck in the tace severely, but true cricketer like did not impede his most excellent bowling. Mr. Tinson remained in about an hour and a@ quarter, and was very cautious throughout his play, making the greatest number of runs on his side When Mr. Groom went in, expectation was great that he would, in some degree, retrieve the leeway of his party, but alas! it was only expectation, for he was in about five minutes, when he was caught by Thompson, without making a single run. At the hour ap- pointed for the termination of the day’s proceed- ings, Messrs. Wild and Bage were in, the former having made eight runs, the latter none, with one wicket to go down. The following is the score, as far as the game proceeded:— St. Gronor’s Civ Turner, b. Wentworth, “ R. Tiokner, c. Thompsot “ 8, Wright, “J. Tickuer, “ Dndoon, c. Freeling, “ Groom, c. Thompsan, » Wald, n. 0, Byes,. Wide balls, ben Bl omceFcacon 61 with one wicket to go down, after receiving about 160 balls. . Never was such bowling and fielding dis- joipad as in the fast innings. It was truly admirable—almost indiscribable for ex- cellence—Mr. Freeling im particular, distin- uished himselt; we never saw a man display so much agility, he was like a harlequin here, there, and every where, when required; all the others were well up, which will account for the limited result. The bowling of Mr. Wentworth astonished all who had to contend against it; it was truly grand and excellent. The arrangements for the day were very good, better than on some previous occasions. There were some four or five tents for the accormoda- tion of the members of the different clubs and their friends, with one for the ladiesat the opposite end of the field, away from the great concourse who were on the ground; yet in perfect view of the whole of the proceedings. The whole of the play,went off in the most quiet and erderly manner, evincing the great interest all took therein. There were not fewer than 5,000 persons on the ground from all parts of Canada and the Union; the bettng throughout most spirited. At the close of the day the odds were 6 to 4 on the Canadians, which was taken to some extent; in town, afterwards, it was offered with but tew takers, 6 to 4 being generally required. The wickets areto be struck at half past nine o’clock this morning, when no doubt the at ee will be still greaterthan ou the previous ay. A Pouitican Sermon ve Town.—The Rev. Dr Dewey preached a sermon against the annexation of Texas on Sunday last, which has created « good deal of sensation. Mr. Dewey isa very elo queat and pious divine, but he does not appear t understand the ‘duty of a clergyman, We have always supp esed that their business was with a very different country from Texas—the kingdom of heaven. But parsons are, it seems, turning poli ucians in these days. This is worse than Bishop Hughes, for he did not desecrate a church by a political harangue. He went into Carroll Hall, and we affectionately exhort Mr. Dewey to choose some more appropriate place than the ‘Church of the Messiah,” when he next preaches on the party politics of the da Accipent.—In the building occupied by Gilbert, Stokes & Co. as an iron warehouse, eorner of Clifi and John streete, an accident occurred yesterday morning which might have proved of a most eeri- ous character. The third floor, upon which was piled a large quantity of sheet iron and other ma terials, gave way under the pressure, and about two hundred bundles of that arucle were precipitated to the cellar below, tearing away in ita descent o portion of the two intermediate floors, the oflice aad all that came in its way. It is considered that the construction of the floors was defective ; the joists not having a sufficient rest on the walle, otherwise, it would not have given way under © weight of about fifteen tons, The damage is not of a very serious kind, and it is highly gratifying that no pereon sustained any injury from this oc- ourrence. ‘Theatrical, Musical, &eo.

Inrmresrina vrom Braztu.—It appears by our advices from Rio de Janeiro that the trade in Bra- zil wood has been, in many instances, illegally carried on. The following notice, relative to this trade, has been published by the Consul General of Brazil:— Consutate Generator tHE Emrme ov Brazit, iv tae Unirep States. Sew Youx, Sept 24h, luda, The exportation of Brazil wood from the ports of Bra- zil has always been en exclusive privilege of the Impe- rial Government—but as abuses have ocourred, and some. vessels, perhaps through ignerance of the Brazilian laws in relation to trade, have exported on private account, the suid artiele to foreign ports, it is made Known to those whom it may concern, that the laws of Brezil forbid en- tirely the exportation of the erticle i a individu- als, ‘and imposes a fine of fifteen dol tom on tiple vessel that may take the wood by cont me fit apy partof the Empire to foreign countries ‘Tie hue will enforced even after the departure of the vessel from Brazil, for which purpose the Government has taken all necessary m¢ res to arrest the aidera and abettors in the clandestine shipment.
