NEW YORK HERALD. New York, Friday, October 4, 1844. —= ; The European News. Thé Ciledonia 1s now in her fifteenth day.— Her news, ofcourse, ought tobe here, An Exrra HsRap as soon awit arrives. Interesting Scenss in THe History or THE Unrrep Stares—We give to-day on the first page of our paper several highly interesting extracts from “ Prost’s Pictorial History of the United States”— a work, which, from its graphic and attractive style, extensive research, general accuracy, and elegant illustrations, has already become extremely popular. We present these specimens of the en- gravings, illustrative of scenes of great interest in the colonial and revolutionary history of the coun- try. Prospects on the Rubicon. We are now almost on the brink of the rubicon in relation to the next Presidency. Only five or six State elections take place within the next fortnight, and in lees than five weeks the final struggle will be over, and either Mr. Clay or Mr. Polk elected President for the next four years. Avy person who has an ounce of common sense, can easily estimate the excitement which prevails at this critical moment amongst the politicians of both parties, numbering probably about two hun- dred and fifty thousand throughout the country, and every one of whom expects an office of some kind or other when the issue is determined. It ia curious to watch the varied manifestations of the extreme sensibility which characterizes those po- liticians on both sides—to note with what avidity they seize upon any indication of hope—to observe the fierceness and malignity with which they assail any person or anything which bodes injury to that cause which has enlisted theirdisinterested devotion. When, for instance, we ourselves hap- pened to state a series of facts, deducing therefrom arevival of hope for the whig party, immediately the locofocos who read our journal began their de- nunciations and shouted aloud, “bought by British gold !”-~“‘sold at last !”’—‘gone for the devil and Henry Clay!” On the other hand, when the dic- tates of truth compelled us to exhibit, at full length, the follies ef the whig leaders and the dan- ger which their mismanagement threatened their party and the cause of Mr. Clay, immediately they cried out, “bought by the locofocos!”— “sold body and giazard!’—the Herald in the hands of the locofoco committee !"—‘sold to the Dutch!”"—*‘death and damnation, what is the meaning of all this?’ The sensibilities of both these classes of politicians, opposed as they are to each other, but in this matter quite agreed, arises from the fact that they are all office-seekers, office-beggars, expecting to receive their pay after the election. They are small in numbers com- pared witn the great mass of honesty belonging to both parties, also to that great third party called “the neutrals.” Whigs—locofocos—neutrals—and all who do not expect to reap any personal benefit from the result of the election, but only hope to ob- tain the means of good government by electing the man of their choice, are perfectly satisfied when we tell them the truth, and nothing but the truth, to the best of our knowledge and belief. Now this is what we always do. in obedience to those principles of perfect im- partiality and perfect adherence to truth, so far as it is possible for humanity to be perfect in its adhe- rence to these godlike virtues, we told the whigs, immediately after the Maine election, that they had mismanaged their cause during the summer— that their mass meetings had turned out badly— that their orators had mistaken their position—and that sach men as Webster, Seward, and others, perambulating the country and making sucha great noise about Texas and annexation and slavery, in order to catch a few abolition votes, were going to do Mr. Clay more injury even in the North than could be repaired by months of wise and judicious effort, whilst in the South it would do him incalculable injury. When we told | these truths, timorously and honestly, these selfish, silly and ridiculous whiga raised a terrible cry against the Herald—that it was bought by the loco- focos. But look at Mr. Clay’s own letter, and see if he does not entertain the same opinion of that policy that we do. Read in his ‘‘confidential” letter to Cassius Marplot Clay, how closely Mr. Clay and the Herald agree in relation to the mis- management of the whig moverments during the last summer. We are, indeed, sorry to see that Cassius Marplot Clay, Mr. Websier and others, are persisting in that bad policy, which we described and condemned, and which Mr. Clay has con demned. If, instead of trusting to the effect of the perambulations of these gentlemen—the one in New York and the other in Pennsylvania—the intelligent whigs in every school district were to make a personal, confidential, and earnest applica- tion, each man to his next door neighbor, amongst that great neutral mass who will have the decision of this contest, the fortunes of Henry Clay would not be obscured by that doubt, uncertainty, and danger, which have been settled on them. The abolitionists are formidable only in a very close contest. Their strength, compared tn that of the neutrals, is as a drop of water to the ocean. Now is the crisis of the Presidential election. We are persuaded that Maryland will go for the whigs. New Jersey will go for the whigs. Penn- sylvania will go for the locofocos. But what of that? Let it never be forgotten that there are SEVEN HUNDRED THOUSAND legal voters who have not appeared at the polls during the last three years. That party which can most succesefully operate on this mighty mass is sure of vic- tory. As to the abolition vote it is not worth the trouble bestowed on it by the whigs, and the mission of Cassius Marplot Clay to this State for the purpose of catching it,will do more injury than good; and this opinion is quite accordant with that of Henry Clay himself. Consut to Liverroon.—It will be recollected that we stated the other day that Mr. Adams, of Virginia, had been appointed to the Consulate at Liverpool. But it seems that that appointment was revoked immediately, and that Judge White, of Connecticut, has received the appointment. Our first announcement was quite correct for the time Mr. Adams was offered the Consulate, but recol- lecting that he had been rejected by the Senate on a previous occasion, he thought it best not to ven- ture again into that boay, and thus he declined taking it. Itis supposed that Judge White will also decline. He is out of business, is a man of large property, and does not require such an office. If such be the case, a new host of applicants will, of course, rush forward. One of the most popular i#, it is said, Alderman Benson, of this city, the ehairman of the “Knickerbocker” club. He is backed by strong influence and would make a capi- tal Consul in Liverpool. Tue Liverty Pawty.—This party has been very quiet in the city, but they are now brushing up.— They hold a meeting to-night at the corner of Grand street ‘and Centre Market place, which is intended as the commencement of a regular system of agitation. This party are of no importance ex- cept in a very close contest, and now that both the great parties are awakening to a sense of the overshadowing influence of the great neutralarmy, and are striving to gain it over, the “ liberty” men re ina great measure shoved aside. The meeting to-night, will, however, doubtless be curious, and we shall accordingly report it in to-morrow’s paper. Fourine Crry or ras West.—It is said that there are now five bundred houses going up in St. Louis. St. Louis will soon be the Jargest inland city in America. Consou or Hamavne.--C. H. F. Moring has heen recognized as such for Boston PUILADELPHTA aS Was, AND aS IT 18.—A person familiar with Philadelphia as it was a few years since, on visiting it now, can hardly believe it to be the same city. At almost every turn he recognizes the evidences of a change—a melancholy change. A year or two ago, Philadelphia was pointed to with a just and honorable pride, as a model city— as the pattern of all that was orderly, peaceful, clean- ly and attractive—as possessing everythingi 8 municipal government, in the general conduct of its inhabitents, and in its whole character, which entitied it to occupy the very chiefest place amongst the great cities of the earth. And to the intelligent stranger who visited that city,ample evidences pre- sented themselves, in every direction, of prevalent goed order, prosperity, and high respectability.— The cleanliness and quiet of the streets—the staid demeanor of the inhabitants—the sober aspect of the whole place—all left on the mind of the obser- ver a new and most agreeable impression.— One could not help wondering how, with such an unwonted absence of the usual din and tumult of a great city, the extensive aud flour- ishing trade and commerce ef the place were car- ried on; and every traveller came away convinced that the * Quaker City” approached mere nearly to the Utopian standard of peace, regularity and happiness, than he had before imagined possible in any city on the face of the glebe. Indeed, so deep was the impression thus created, that many stran- gers were accustomed to complain that Philadel- phia was too quiet—too orderly—too sober—too pre- cise—too well-behaved. It is,indeed, painful to behold the change which the brief period of a year or two has produced. One behoids it with feelings somewhat akin to those with which we regard a friend, whom we had known in former days as a prosperous, happy and reputable man, but who now stands befere us the dishonored and degraded victim of vice and crime. There is an unusual bustle in the streets— not the bustle ef business, which gives cheerful token of prosperity—but the bustle of excited par- tizanship—the bustle of crowds of ever-listless loiterers, that attend No camp—no duty—and no friend— the bustle of “rowdyism” and disorder. The ta- verns are crowded. Party flags of gaudy colors stream from the windows. Gangs of idle men and boys march in precession through the streets, with bands of music playing party tunes. Drunken fel- lows reel in the public places, shouting aloud snatches of party songs. Ragamuffins jostle you in the leading thoroughfares. The loud impreca- tions of the blasphemer are heard at every corner. Bands of ferocious leeking lads, not yet grown up to manhood, are seen prowling about the suburbs with red-flannel shirts, leather belts and muskets. Street fights are frequent. Immense numbers of aban- doned women throng the streets at night. Im- mense assemblages of people take place in the public places by torch-light. The loud and in- furiated shoutings of mobs disturb the stillness of the beautiful and quiet squares. Artful and blustering demagogues harangue excited crowds, and their fierce denunciations of fellow citizens are applaud- ed to the heavens. The stranger beholds the blackened ruins of sacred edifices and asks “What is this?” whilst the citizen shakes his head and gives an evasive reply. Long rows of houses are shut up and quite deserted in some quarters of the city, where it seems as if a plague had recently been spreading desolation and dismay. The old residents of the city, as they close with unusual care their doors and shutters in the evening, wonder what is to be the end of all this. Every- where disorder—discord—intemperance—partizan- ship—rowdyism—demoralization appear to be at work, writing on every public place throughout that noble city—‘that glory has departed !” What has been the cause of all this? What has wreught this fearful change? What terribly potent agency of evil has thus in so brief a time convert- ed the model city into a warning, and an example not to be imitated but to be shunned? The an- swer is easily given. Party spirit has done this. Civil discord has done this. A paralytic govern- ment has done this. Demagogueism has done this. And they are still doing this, Philadelphia is ina fearful state. At any moment a single spark may wrap the whole city in conflagration.— In such a state of things what is the duty of all men in that city and county who desires to secure their own safety and the welfare of Philadelphia? It is clear that they should at once unite in an effort to procure a re-organization of the city government, and in the expulsion of the foul spirit of civil dis- cord which has already wrought such ruin, And if this be not done soon, who can tell what the next six months may bring forth of shame, dix grace, insurrection and desolation ? Hore. Intevtigence.—It has been announced in various quarters that the Messrs. Howards who have established the hotel so extensively and fa- vorably known as ‘* Howard’s Hotel,” im Broad- way, have disposed of that establishment to Capt. Roe, of the “* Empire” steamboat, and Mr. Thomas. It is also stated that the purchase was made for $50,000. The gentlemen who have thus become the proprieters are very competent to undertake the task of keeping this hotel in the same excellent style for which it has been celebrated under the regime of the Howards. Captain Roe is well known to the travelling public for his gentlemanly demeanor, capacity, ‘and skill. Mr. Thomas, also of Albany, is equally well known, and no doubt will contribute his full share in keeping up thecha- racter of the house. As for the Howards, we are glad that they have done so well in so short a time. We presume, be- ing relieved now from the labor of keeping such a large establishment, they will retire to some of those beautiful retreats with which their native State, Vermont, abounds ; and where could they find a more attractive spot than some one of those delightful places in the neighborhoed of Burling- ton on Lake Champlain ? So much jor this hotel. We also understand that the new hotel on the French plan which has been in process of erection for some time past in the upper part of Broadway, is to be opened in Novem- ber, and that it willbe kept by a young gentleman, a pupil of the famous Cozzens of the “ American,” and now one of the “native” Aldermen of this city. If we may judge of the pupil from the capa city of his instructor, we cannot doubt that his house will be well kept. But he will require, as the house is to be kept on the French plan, the aid of some one weil acquainted with the mode of con- ducting hotels in Paris. Great preparations are algo making in Washing- ton for the introduction of a great reform in the management of hotels, and perhaps in no other city under heaven was such a reform more neces- sary. During the last few years ‘“‘Gadsby’s Hotel,” as it has been called, has been kept in the most bungling and wretched style. Nobody can imagine a more wretched place than “Gadsby’s” under the old regime, particularly since old Mr. Gadsby leit it. We are therefore glad to learn that Mr. Cole- man, formerly of the Astor House in this city, has undertaken the reformation of that house, and that it will be kept hereafter in such excellent style as to secure the approbation of all christians and gen tlemen who may stop there. Mr. Coleman takes with him to Wasshington a very high and well- earaed reputation, and a0 doubt he will keep it up there and introduce a new era in hotel-keeping in the city of magnificent distances. We also understand that certam parties, in this city, who have had great experience in the busi- ness, Intend erecting a splendid hotel in the couree of a year or #0, which will eclipse all those at pre- sent in existence, ‘The past season has been unusually profitable to the hotels. They have all done an excellent busi- ness, and the preprictors of many of them have realized handsome fortunes, or at least the founda- tion of handsome fortunes, in a single reason. Newsparen Movements.—Two new evening papers “lave appeared within the last few daye— one of them from the ashes of a morning paper, the other @ sort of offshoot from a weekly. Another new evening paper, also a growth froma weekly is to appear next week; making all about three neW papers within the last few days, and probably before the month is out, we shall have two or three more. These movements are quite similar to the numerous movements in newspaper literature that are annually taking place in this city. At this moment there are four or five papers almost on their last legs, hardly able to waddle along, and as soon as the election is over two or three of them will waddle out of existence and into oblivion.— But no matter how much money is lost on these new projects and enterprises, there is always a new set of adventurers, ready with cash or credit to start such enterprises and carry on the movement from year to year. During the last ten years that we have been in existence, there has been spent probably over $200,000 in fruitless newspaper enterprises, all of which money went to the dogs. We have nodoubt that during the next ten years, half a million of dollars may be thrown away in the same way. The truth is, a great many persons with much vanity and not a superabundance of industry, start those enterprises in the belief that they can super- cede any of the old and well-conducted newspaper establishments, which owe their stability and suc- cess to tact, talent, and unceasing industry. But these aspirants find themselves mistaken in a short time. There is no profession that requires such a vigilant eye—such a stable mind—such a compre- hensive intellect—such a ready perception, as the conducter of a newspaper. He must be awake al- most night and day. He must observe passing events with a ceaseless vigilance, that none can realize but those who are engaged in the work.— When new aspirants appear in the field, we may compliment them and talk about their prospects, and speak cheerfully to them; but all that is ‘“‘talk- ing to Buncombe.” No one can succeed in the present state of newspaper literature, in this city, without he possesses four most important ingredi- ents—the first is, cash—the second is, industry— the third is, plenty of time—and, the fourth is, talent. Personal Movements, General Markle left Philadelphia on Wednesday for Reading. He was accompanied by Judge Banks, Mr. Richards, and a few other friends, and is to tarry fora short time at York, Pa., on his way home, and willbe at the great mass meeting to be held at York on Friday.— ‘The General will also visit Harrisburg. ‘The Hon. James Buchanan ia to speak at Salem, New Jersey, on Saturday next. The Hon. John C. Calhoun arrived at Charleston on Monday morning trom Washington, and left on the fol- lowing day for his residence in Pendleton District. The Hon. Daniel E. Huger arrived at Charleston on Monday from the North ‘The Hon,Wn. C. Preston and family arrived in Charles- ten on Monday from the North. The Hon. J. A Pearce, U.S. Senator from the State of Marylaud, has been suffering from a long and severe at- tack of congestive fever, and though recovering, is still confined to his bed. ‘The death of Com.

Artemas Boles, formerly pastor of Pine street church, Boston, died at New London, Conn., on Wednes- day last, of brain fever. Isaac Hill, 0 long prominent in the politics of New Hampshire, now lies serieusly ill, and is not expected to recover. The Rev. W. J. Kip, rector of St. Paul’s Church, Al- bany,took leave of his congregation on Sunday ‘last, prior to his departure for Europe, where he intends spending afew months, in the hope that a milder climate will restore his health. Mr. Webater was announced to address the whig mass meeting at Valley Forge yesterday, and is expected at Pottaville to morrow for a similar purpose. Mr. Calhoun is said to be preparing for a report on the Oregon negotiation: ‘The Hon. W. P.

First Innives—the Philadelphia inion, 154; the Brooklyn U, Star, 43. Theatricals, &c. Tue Parx.—The new opera of Mr. Jones was performed a third time last evening, before another large and elegant audience. It improves on every repetition. Tue New Batter at Patmo’s Turatre.—There was quite a crowded and fashionable house at Palmo’s last night, to witness the new ballet which has been produced there. The ballet is full of bustling incident, and has been got up in really splendid style. Mons. Martin and Mile. Desjardins appear to have exerted themselves very much in producing the ballet in a creditable manner, and they certainly have succeeded. The Misses Val- lee also merit particular commendation. Amongst the corps de ballet is a number of very pretty faces, and altogether we are quite warranted in predict- ing for this ballet a long and progperous run. Macready made his appearance at the Melodeon, in Boston, on Tuesday, to a house of a thousand dollars. Madame Arnault, in company with Signor and Signora Cassella, are about to give some concerts in Boston, and from thence’ they are expected at Albany. The former lady has been highly success- ful throughout her northern tour, and has elicited considerable notice and approbation. . The Boston “* Handel and Haydn Society” have fitted up the Melodeon for concerts, and Henry Philips, will make his first appearance there on Sunday evening next. Dr. Lardner commenced delivering his lectures on astronomy in the Tremont Temple, Boston, last evening. Operas have been introduced into Albany, with great success. John cf Paris was pertormed at the Museum, in which the principal performers were Mrs Timm, Mr. Walcott, and Mr. Collins. Howe and Mabie’s equestrian company are at Nashville.

To this survey the mate and three passen- gers, all that were on board, entered their protest, and de clared the versel to be in as good condition as when she left the port of New York. After some dispute between the captain, his mate and passengers, it was concluded to proceed to her original destination. How well this re flects upon the captain, we leave those better acquainted with these matters to judge. know but little of the motive ot this transaction, but we can assure those who have been so forward in slandering our citizens, that fraud or underhand dealing ia never connived at by the majority of this community. We have received several affidavits giving an ex parte statement of this affair, in which it is repre- sented that John Brown, the mate, was flogged and put ashore by the captain and crew. We do not publish them,because the above gives, probably, as fair an account as has been received; and of the trath of the above, we know nothing. = City Inte Lower Police Office, Oct 3.—THr Facrnn of a Burotany — Officers Relyea ond Killinger returned to thia city yesterday, from Troy, with Samuel W.

Great Muster of the Whigs of the Seventh ‘Ward tn the National Hat Last Evening. This meeting was announced to take place at7 o’clock last evening, but it was near eight ere the business of the meeting commenced, after some very strong or rather noisy expressions of impatience on the part of those present—by stamping on their feet, knocking their sticks, whistling, &c. A band of music was stationed in the balcony which every now and then, with some popular tunes, amused the parties present, the latter beating time with their feet and sticks. The room throughout the proceedings was well filled, but in about an hour it somewhat thinned, and the shouts of the crowds outside occasional- ly interfered with the proceedings in the room; those present appeared to be quite cool and calm, and the only enthusiasm expreesed was during and at the conclusion of the songs; these appeared to give more satisfaction than the ten times told tales of the different speakers; for when the singers withdrew to favor thoge on the outside with a song, numbers followed them. {n the streetthose assem- bled were addressed by several of the usual indi- viduals who stick close to the skirts of all parties; occasionally interspersed with the discharge of a few rockets. On the stump hustings in front of the National Hall, several speakers presented them- selves, more than there was any possibility for time to allow them to bring forth all the great knowledge with which they abounded. On the opposite side, the top steps of the Roman Catholic Church was turned into a platform for the promulgation of whig doctrines. On the right and left, ata short dis tance, were others addressing the different parties assembled around them, or discussing the different points at issue. ‘The more youthtul portion ot those present were in high glee, and shouted as loud and as strong as it they were paid for it. About the hour mentioned, Jas, R. Wood, Exq., president of the Seventh Ward Democratic Clay Chub took the chair, amid some cheering. The Chairman then called for Mr. Dixon or Mr. Collins to favor the meeting with a song; but neither of the persons answered the request, if they were pre- sent. The gentleman then begged to introduce to the meeting— Mr. Bouton, of Broome county.—The gentleman was received with three cheers. He commenced in the sual way—the great honor done him in being allowed to ad- dress them ; he congratulated those present on the whig prospects ef success—no language could express the emo- tions hefeit. The upeueent gatherings were the sponta- neous ebullition of the people to rescue their country from the hands of treason into which it had recently fallen, (Cheers.) They met for the purpose of giving & great embodiment of those principles in the person of the noble candidate whom they had nominated. (Cheers.) ‘The foremost of the issues at present to be contested was the tariff—the protection of American industry. (Great cheering.) This question was alone sufficient to decide the whole of the appreaching elections. The locofocos only wished it repealed to put money in their peckets, and to carry out the views of the British free traders for which they had recently received British gold. (Great cheering.) Then the locofocos were desirous of appro. priating the proceeds of the public lands to make up the deficiency caused by the repeal of the tariff. This was most unjust—most dishonest. If the tariff wasirepealed, the working men of this country would soon be in the same half-starveds miserable state of the working classes of England, to the enrichment of the aristocratic few. (‘Hear, hear,” and cheers.) While the masses went Pe esotece Weners an their hands a the of the le, wo up, up, up. Great cheering.) The gentloman thes proneeded toattack Mr. Polk's predecessors, and endeavored to show that Mr Polk must necessarily be a British tory, because his gr ndfather was one. He then proceeded to argue that ‘Texas must ever bea slaveholding country—and its an- nexation wonld be a disgrace to this or any other coun- try. The gentleman next proceeded tu illustrate his ar. giiments with a few jokes from Joe Miller and other scarce and valuable works, with trifling alteration, te the great amusementfof tiose present,who enjoyed them very much, if a judgment might be formed from the amount of laughter they created. In conclusion, the gentleman cali- ed upon those present to shake off the dew drops from their garments and rush on to victory. The gentleman then sat down amid rest cheering. ‘The Clay Glee Glub then favored the meeting with the glee— “ We're 8 band of freemen!” Afterwards, the song and chorus— “The locofocos wear wry faces.” There were then loud eries for “‘ Dixon, Dixon,” when that person came forward and was received with loud cheering. He then proceedod to sing one of his original songs— “ purra for Harry Clay—hurra for Harry Clay— He’s bound to be our President I've heard the people say.” At the conclusion, three hearty cheers were given for Henry MEW D. Muurny, of the Seventh Ward, then pro. ceeded to address the meeting. He commenced by saying he had been doing good work in the open air until he was quite hoarse, ond he bad nothmg new to advance; the gentleman who preceded him having amply and sutisfac- torily treated upon every point worthy of the people’s con- sideration. ‘The gentleman went on to pass ahigh eulogy upon the working classes, and said they were the whole strength and value of the iand, and had 0 right to manage their own affairs, which they would do most satisfactorily ere March next.’ The gentleman then proceeded to show that no such thing as iree trade ever did or could exist, and wherever attempted, led to the ruin of the country in which such attempt was mede. gendeman con tended that the wnole of the revolutionary struggle was founded upon the right of the inhabit to pretect their own industry. It was for this thet their ancestors fought and bled. The gentleman next treated on Texas, annexa- tion, British pad 1y, and the injustice done to Henry Clay —and, in conclusion, said the whole of these were nothing in comparison to the importance of the question of the tariff to the working man. He called upon all present to buckle on their armor and prepare for the mighty strug- gle, and not to be contented until they had accomplished agreat and glorious victory; then they could go home and rest themselves until another opportunity presented iteelf of striking another blow at the enemies of the country. Great cheering, amid which the gentleman sat down. Himam Kercnum, Eeq., said that the proceedings of this evening showed that the Seventh Ward was doing its duty, and the attendance on the occasion evidenced the interest took in the great questions before the country He then proceeded to show the line of conduct to be pur- sued at the appreaching election. The gentleman then gave a long treatise on forbearance, endeavoring to incul- cate the doctrine of, if smete on one cheek to turn the other for a second blow, if it would promote the good cause they were all anxious to see successful. Ho then recommended the forming of districts near to theirhomes, for towateh and guide the electors in their different neigh- hoods, At the conclusion there was considerable cheer- ing tor the speaker, Henry Clay, &c., &c., when the meet- ing broke up, it being near tem o'clock, Navat.—The U. 8. steamer Michigan on Lake Erie, sailed from Erie, Pennsylvania, for Detroit, Michigan, on Tuesday, the 1st instant. She has been fitted out very speedily, and all her gunshave been left on shore, except one large 62 pounder, forward. She will cruise for about a month,when navigation closes, and she will have to go into win- ter quarters, A more comfortable ship never left port; her accommodations for both officers and men are admirable, and,her Commander, William Inman, of New Jersey, is well calculated for the command, being very affable in his manner, and one who will,no doubt, make the Navy popular with western men. The following is a ist of her officers:— Wm. Inman, Commander; J P. McKinstry, Lieutenant; David McDougal, do; Wm. ‘A. Bloodgood, Purser; Peter Christie, Surgeon; DR. Lambert, Acting Master; An drew Hebard, Chiet Engineer; Wm. Scott, lst Assistant Engineer; John K. Matthews, 24 do; Thomas Dickson, 3d do; Wm.

The U. 8. brig Bainbridge arrived at Rio Ja- neiro, in a very favorable paseage from this city.

Last night’s meeting was held at the corner of Chatham and Mulberry streets; about twenty per- sons were preseat, and the proceedings were not marked by apything savoring of energy, novelty, orenthusiasm. Indeed, it was sometime after they began that their purport could be gathered, as system had little to do with the movement of the learned jcouncil. Mr. Benge was chairman, and invited all to communicate freely their views, Mr. Hattrick made a few observations about the appointment of a delegation to attend the great New England Convention which is to take place shortly, upon which several suggestions were of- fered by other members—some thinking that one delegate would®be sufficient, and save expense ; others contending that three would be little enough to represent them and bring up worthily the views of their constituents in all their integrity. A com- mittee was at last named and appointed to act in the matter, A subsequent conversation arose as to who the single delegate shouldbe. Mr. Devyr’s name was rroposed, the first as a very suitable person to be charged with a mission where there would be considerable to do, and no small amount of talk- ing to perform besides, Several others agreed with all that was said of Mr. Devyr’s specified qualifications; uevertheless they regarded Mr. Comerford as a still preferable delegate, on ac- count of his acquaintance with the Yankees and his general popularity, and because he was pecu- liarly calculated to remove the strong prejudices that prevail in that part of the country against the cause. The next, and decidedly the most absorbing bu- siness tliat was started during the whole evening was @ proposal for a subscription to defray the ex- ense of the delegation. A sheet of paper proper- ly ruled and headed, soon made its appearance, and @ host of prompt payers came ferward an most generously gave their names for a sum which we believe amounted to seven or eight dollars. ‘When this was finished, the Secretaty respect- fully apprized all whe heard him, that there wasa further trifling sum required for the rent, and light. ing of the room. The announcement seemed es- pecially intended for a few who had just litted their hata to decamp; but it did not produce the in- tended effect on them, as they went on their course rejoicing. Money was raised,however. and enough for the purpose, bate forty centa, which deficit tne worthy seeretary urged upon them to raise. The forty cents was added, and so ended the fiscal af- faira ef the night. Mr. Pix then addressed the meeting. He deplored the thinness of the assembly—the false direction which the mindajof the people had received to run after the old par- ties and their nostrums, whilst they neglected what was emphatically their own interests in the present move- ment. He was every day more convinced of the urgent necessity of giving the public lands to the working men. The present prosperity was illusory, and atime would again come, and that in two years, when, as formerly, the mechanic would want employment, want friends, but would not fiud them in those speculators and capitalists who preached up protection—protection for American in- dustry,but who in reality meant protection to themselves, to enslave, buy and oppress the labori1 lasses. He al- luded to the operation of the capitalists in England and France, and contended that human nature being the same in all ages and pluces, the same effects of the tyranny of capital would be visible here, nay, were so at even in Oregen, where man’s cupidity was so great that, not ith having the richest lands and most eligible situations, they were now employed in land jobbing and repacious efforts to accumulate peoney and cheat their successors out of their fair share. Mr Pine concluded by exhorting all friends to the cause to be up and doing— look to the elections and secure a representation in Con- ded in order that their principles might be placed fairly fore the country. ! he meeting adjourned about 9 o'clock. Late From Mexico.—The following is a trans- lation ef ,a letter from Vera Cruz, published in La Indiana, a locofoco paper printed in the Spanish language in New Orleans. Itis a rich affair, and we invite special attention to the last paragraph but one:— Vena Crvz, Sept. 3, 1844,—-Since my last, various events have taken place of which it is necessary you rhould be informed. General Ampudia passed through this place, for the city of Mexico, with the object of taking charge of the artillery of the army, destined to invade Texas, but he has returned to Tobasco, for the purpose of taking charge again, as Captain General of that Department — ‘This movement was quite unexpected after what has pas- sed, and time alone can unravel the enigma. Ampudia, while in Mexico, found himself compelled to tell the public that the fry ing the head of General Sent- manat was a truth, but that he nad nothing to do with it, that it was done by order of the Commandant at Arms, and that so soon as he Ri.ew of it, he sent orders to stop the proceeding, &e. ke. Three days since a French ship of war sailed for To- basco to collect the facts relative to the execution of the Frenchmen belonging to Sentmanat’s expedition, By to-day’s mail it is known that Santa Anna will leave shed for Mungo de Clavo from the Ist to the 8th of this mouth. ‘The new American Minister reashed here some days since, and proceeded immediately for Mexico; it is known here that he has been robbed by the way, and that be says the robbers took from him seventy doubioons, but this is believed here to be a farce of the Minister's invention in hope of being paid that sum. The government, notwith. standing, has taken energetic steps for the prosecution of the au'hors of the theft—it there were any. On Monday, the general of division, Valentin Canalizo, and staff, with all the chiefs and officers belonging to the invading army against Texas, started for San Luis}Potosi.
