NEW YORK, “New York, Seturday, Illustrated Weekly Herald. SPLENDID SPKCINEN OF AMERICAN ENGRAINGS. We give-in-the Hiustrated Weekly Herald, to be issued this'morning at 9 o’clock, two very beauuful specimens of engraving on wood, which show the high perfection to which that important art has been brought in the United States. One of these engraving? is a view of Mr. Clay’s present resi- dence at Ashland, and the other of the Capitol at Washington. The delicacy and high finish of these engravings and the general effect, will con- trast favorably with the best cuts in the London illustrated periodicals. We also give a view of the Tunnel, at South Brooklyn, and the Fair of the American Tastitute at Niblo’s Altogether @ most attractive number— Price only 64 cents. The Ortsis of the Presidential Question, We have at length reached the crisis of the pending presidential question. The events of the last few days have revealed a state of public opinion which is pertectly astounding to every caim mind; and, after setting aside the rubbish which attends all reeults, and all developments of the fature, we ure compelled to come to the con- clusion, that in consequence of the introduction of two new elements into the elections in the coun- try, “‘nativeism” and ‘‘abolitioni:m,” the return of Henry Clay to the presidency may probably be accumplished. We conceive, that at this mo- ment the chances of a total and overwhelming overthrow of the democratic party throughout the Union are increasing daily, and though not so great as in 1840, when General Harrison succeeded, are yet threatening in the extremest degree. Let us come to particulars. We have recorded, in the columns of our jour- nal, the result of ali the elections in the various States, which have taken place during the present year. So far as it was possible to separate truth from falsehood, we have done so—pointed out the falsehood, and given the truth to our readers. Our uniform purpose has been to examine—to as- certain—to investigate—and to furnish the truth in all politeal results, together with the impression which these results were calculated to produce on a rational inquiring, and philosophical mind, that did not care a red cent which party succeeaed in the contest, provided a good governmeat could be secured by the election of any candidate. Well, in obedience to these principles, we have given the facts of the result in Maine, Maryland, Pennsylvania, New Jersey, and other States, and the inference naturally to be deduced from them. And, so far as the results irom those States have reached us, we have been led to the conclusion, that a greater vote will be brought out at the present election than in any former contest in this country.— Probably the whole vote, nearly threegmillions, will be taken—thereby showing that the great neu- tral mass of $00,000 voters who have staid away from the polls during the last three years, are now coming forward to decide the question. Up tothe recent elections in New Jersey and Pennsylvania, we have been disposed to think that the advantages, if any there were, were on the side of the democrats; but since the extraordinary re- sult of the Pennsylvania election, and in sight of the extremely mesgre majority by which the de- mocratic candidate is to be elected, if he be elect- ed, and the causes which produced that strange and even-balanced result, we are compelled to come | to the conclusion that the contest will be the nicest, the nearest, the clogest, the most doubtful that ever took place in this country since the time of Jefferson. Yet in the midst of this uncertainty aad closeness,we begia to discover two elements: r the principles which will operate in several of the large central States on which the whole contro- versy will hinge, and by which Mr. Clay’s chances of being elected next President in this country ap- pear to be better than those ot Mr. Polk, thereby involving an entire rout of the democracy and a victory to the whigs, not by their own efforts alone, but by availing themselves skilfully of cer- tain local feelings, prejudices and movements. We have seen in Pennsylvania, in the midst of | an extraordinary increased vote throughout that State, that the bulk of the neutrals have been pret- ty equally divided, and that when any advantage has been gained by the Whigs, it has been in con- sequence of local excitement, such as that of “Nativeism’” in Philadelphia, Lancaster, and some other places, calling forth the Protestant feeling against the Catholics, and producing an al- together new element in the great election of this country. Now, considering that Pennsylvania— that New Jersey—ihat Maryland—thatevery other State in which an election has recently taken place, has presented the aspect of a closeness that no one ever expected, and that, too, witha full vote, itis easy to see that this election is going to be decided by tact and skill, and not by general popular impulses alone. That tact and that skill whieh have produced a revolution in Philadelphia, applied to the city of New York, and operating on the ‘*Native” party here and on the abolitionis's in the interior of the State, and also in other free States, may determine, and most probably will de- termine, the issue of this fierce conflict between the two great contending political parties. The tariff question, of which so much has been said, appears to have very little effect in the present state of the contest. In New York, Pennsylvania, and other portions of the middle and eastern States, both parties claim to be tarifl, whatever their candidates may be by this or that declarationof their position. And, indeed, as far as the tariff is concerned,we betieve that Mr. Polk, from his own declarations, is very much such a tariff man as Henry Clay. Mr. Polk commenced his political career as a revenueariff man. Mr. Clay commenced his asa protective ta- riff man. Bat in the variations of their positions and opinions within the last few years, they have come trom the two extremes of the question to al most the same point of compromise. So then the tariff question has very litue influence or effect in this election, notwithstanding all the noise and balderdash uttered on this subject. We may say the same thing of many other questions—of the project of a new Na‘iona! Bank—and even of the Texas question; for there are many in the whig ranks favorable to the annexation of Texas, and there are some in the democratic ranke opposed tothe measure. Yet we are quite satisfied that the great mass of the people of both parties are tavor- able to the annexation of any good, fat and fair country to their own The two parties at this moment stand, therefore, equally balanced—in a perfect equipoise. The weight of afeather may turo the ecale either one way orthe other, in Masylaud, in Maine, in New Jersey, iv Pennsylvania, and, we may also add, in New York. insuch a state of things we are firmly per- suaded that a union of the whigs and “nativee” in the city and county of New York, and of the whigs and abolitionists ia the interior of the State would turn the chances completely in favor of Mr. Olay in spite of all that the democrats could do This, therefore, is the critical position ot the demo- ic party. We consider them on the brink of a precipice. If the whigs employ the brief time yet allowed them with any degree of skill, tact and diplomacy, they may succeed most triumphantly in electing Mr. Clay, whatever sort of a House of Representatives they may be able to get. In such a state of affairs it will at once be seen that the election of Mr. Clay would be but the precursor of lasting defeat to the whigs. An impulse would be given to the “native” and ‘‘abolition” moye- ments which would give them a d of power and influence of whighno one now'dreams. Whata result from’a, causes!

Tue State or Tue Crry.—The disorder and row- dyism created by the fighting political clubs of both parties in this city, are indescribable, and are filling the minds of all peaceable and respectable citizens with the greatest alarm. Around their club houses these rowdies are congregated in great numbers ull midnight, when, on the arrival of the cars from Philadelphia, the returns are read amid all sorts of diabolical shouting and tumult. Then the mobs disperse in bands of six or seven, peram- bulating Broadway, entering the oyster cellars, and threatening the lives of almost every person they meet. The other evening three respectable c.tizens were surrounded in Broadway, opposite Florence’s, by one of those gangs, and narrowly escaped an assault, although not the slightest pro- vocation was given. As the present police and authorities of the city are utterly unable and un- willing to do any thing to protect citizens from these drunken vagabonds of both political parties, | we can only advise all respectable people to aveid | appearing in the streets after the stores are closed. This is no idle warning. If it be disregarded, valuable lives may be sacrificed. | Nomrnattons.—-The democratic delegates at Tammany Hall, nominated the following candi- | dates for Legislature last evening:—Joseph C | Albertson, lawyer, of the 2d ward; Alexander | Gardner, brother-in-law of President Tyler, of the 15th ward ; Geo. F. Mann, of the 11th, member of last year; Elias L. Smith, ex-Aiderman of the 18th ward, and Major Auguste Davizac, aid of Gen. Jackson at New Orleans, Also, Lorenzo B. | Shephard, of the 8th ward ; John Ewen, 7h do.; J. N. Crane, 17th do. Cuear Fiocarna.—By our report of the proceed- ings of the Court of Sessions it will be seen that Mr. Cooley has been fined $5 for giving a pounding to the body of Mr. Gliddon, the famous antiquarian lecturer; yet we should not be atall surprised, if we could discover the thoughts of Mr. Cooley, to find that at the moment when the sentence was passed, he was ready to exclaim, ‘‘Gentlemen, i'm very willing to pay another $5 onthe same terms!” This is probably the cheapest piece of business, of the kind, which has been transacted | in this generation. Seriously, what a fool Mr. Gliddon has been | throughout the whole of this insignificant . and | contemptible affair! Mr. Cooley travelled in Egypt and published a book containing reminiscences of his travels. It was filled with many amusing sketches of character. Mr. Gliddon, instigated by some weak impulse, was led to imagine that Mr. Cooley had made mouths at his father, whose name was’at even mentioned in the book. He accordingly published a very severe criticism under the name of Park Benjamin, a “first-rate notice,” as it might be called, and probably with the “ten dollars.” But not content with cutiing up the book, he writes a pamphlet on it, and ad- dresses a letter to Mr. Cooley, calling him very hard names. The next time that the two literati met, Mr. Cooley, who felt indiguant at such treat- ment, on such a frivolous pretence, raises his fist and knocks his reviewer down. Mr. Gliddoncries “murder! murder!” loud enough to startle the Pharoshs, and not content with that, brings Mr. Cooley before a court and jury, presents his hard case, and thereupon the twelve shilling men and the quarter of a dollar court informed Mr. Cooley that although he might be justified in the eyes of others, they were constrained to fine him five dol lars, which Mr. Cooley paid with a smile, and went on his way. We do think that Mr. Gliddon, whose ideas of chivalry are so exalted, and who ie, withal, so chivalric himself, would have discovered much more sense if he had never said a word about the matter and gone about the country elucidating Egyptian antiquities as usual. He has gained nothing whatever by this exhibition. Sewers 1n THE Crty.— We understand that there is a good deal of conversation amongst the owners of property throughout the city in relation to the new project of constructing sewers in every street. This bes received new impetas from the recent message of the Mayor on the subject. We have received a number of communications on the mat ter, highly favorable to the project, As soon es possible we shall fully examine the subject, and come to some useful and practical decision. Post Orrice.—Great complaints are made of the negligence of the post office at all hours, and espe- cially at night. It seems that the Posimaster o/ this city manages his affairs with the same negii- ligence and unconcern which he exhibited in the tamous North American Trust Company. We nope, however, that all thore who are suffering from his negligence and inattention will exercise patience, for we are certain that no matter who ir elected President, we will have a new Postmaster in April next, at farthest~and no mistake. Our old friend, Col. Webb, was a candidate for the of tice under General Harrison, and we really believe that he would serve the public much better than the present imbecile incumbent soar 18 Salen toss sigan tea deals rake OS houses bey seater yo thd ime f, Insured in thie city for $0,200," ' oi RavivaL.op Mritegisa.—Dauring the_ b to an asto extent. A ; of pereons, and a female preacher in particular, have been creating a burst of fanaticism ly, ‘astounding. We have given one sketch ‘of their movements, and others have been described to us of a still more singular character. A few evenings ago, we understand that whilst Mrs. Higgins was preaching, one of those political rowdies who are attached to the clubs of the city and perambulate the streets at night, held upa torchlight to one of the open windows of the build- ing, where the fanatic was holding forth, and cast a very startling glare of light into the place. A ter- rible commotion was the result, as the congrega- tion supposed the last hour had come, and all rush- ed out in a frantic state, with the exception of Mrs. Higgins,who, assured thit she was quite safe, pati- ently awaited the coming of the Lord. These fanatics are now firmly impressed with the belief, that the general conflagration of the world will take place on the 23d of this month, and it is very amusing to observe the perfect indifference with which they regard the affairs of this earth, particu- larly the political movements, for they are quite certain that after the 28d instant, there will be neither whig nor democratic party—neither a Clay nor a Polk—neither a President nor a Congress. This is the only existing piece of fanaticism at present in this city. The Mormons are very quiet. The Fourierists, with Horace Greeley, are still working away, it is true, but in comparative quiet—and only amongst the Millerites does the flame burn fiercely. Omnipusses ror Cusa.—The attention of the travelling public is calledto some splendid omai- busses, built by C. & A. Beatty, corner of Third Avenue and Twelfth street. For convenience and workmanship, they are unsurpassed by any that we have seen. These coaches are intended to go ona route from Havana to a few miles in the country, and ordered by the respectable house of Messrs. C. Tyng & Co., of that city. Oneof the omnibusses is entirely fiaished, and named “Isabel IL.” It is worth the while to call at Messrs. Beatty’s and see it. MosicaL—Garrxav, THE VIOLONCELLIST.—We were much pleased, the other evening, with this gentleman’s performance on the violoncello—the most insurmountable instrument there is. His finish of execution in the violin and thumb pas- sages, 19 excellent; but, if he has a failing, it is, thathe confines his play too much in alto, and seldom makes use of the rich and mellow natural tenes of the violencello, without thrilling motion ofthe finger—a practice which we consider much out of place on his instrument, and which is no longer countenanced by the new school of violin. ists. He playswith the greatest feeling, and most perfect tune, and seems to throw his heart and soul into his melody. His double stopping (the most difficult of all) is remarkable; and we have never heard such a shake on the harmonies as hie. His pizzicato bowing, in the chromatic passages, was astonishing, whilst we thought that in the arpeggio accompuniments it was not so good. We hope that he will meet with the patronage his talents and perseverance deserve, Sanquirico, who sang at Mr. Garreau’s concert, was very much applauded for his skill, vivacity, and taste. This artist is beginning to be appre- ciated. Mavame Orro’s engagement at the Park has been very gratifying to all persons of taste. On the night of her benefit, in which she appeared in two operas, the “Sonnambula” and ‘ Der Frei- schutz,” she received numerous bouquets and ap- plauses in testimony of her fine talents. Hernaiveté as ao actress, and her great power and skill asa vocalist are fully appreciated. When will she appear again ? Ju Pinata was performed again {ast evening to avery good and a fashionable house. But for the political excitement, the opera would be mach more brilliantly attended. When the elections are over, and with the new and beautiful prima donna, Madame Pico, incl ded in the troupe, there will be quite a musical revival in the beau monde. Dempster, the everlasting, giver his last concert on Tuesday next, at the old place. ‘Tueatricats.—During the past week theatricals in this city have not been doing very well. The opera house has been very fashionably attended, but not so crowded as on former seasons. The Park, except on the nights of Madame Otto and Mr. Jones’s appearance, has had very slim houses. The two shilling theatres are nearly deserted, in consequence ot their patrons being now so busy in attendance on the political clubs, drinking, singing, and carousing. When the present political excitement subsides, however, we will have very prosperous times for theatricals. The public mind will then have three years’ repose at least, and be free to attend to the fine arts, poetry, the drama, literature, new reli- gions, new faiths, new revelations, new things on all sorts of subjects. Otx Butw’s Concert.—Ole Bull gives his first concert this evening at Niblo’s Saloon. He will be assisted by several vocalists; among them Madame Buckhardt, who is said to possess great voice and power. But the feature of this evening is Ole Bull himself, who will bring out of his do- cile violin some of those startling, poetic strains, that rush to the heart like electricity. Tue Oriana Erntortan SerenapEers.—Messrs. Germon, Stanwood, Harrington and Pelham are about to make another display in this city at the Apollo Rooms, on Monday evening next, and no doubt they will be received as well as formerly, and with as much approbation as they were by the President and his lady, the chief officers of State, foreign ambassaders, c. recently, at Washington.

Nira Jenks andi . were fice wee the werk of an Ineeodiary, Nea this city assembled together last evening at the end ot East Broadway, at the corner of Grand street.. The-Native Republican Hall, over the provision store of Megara. Collins, in Grand aireet, ‘was illuminated throughout. In tne third story of the building, were displayed two small but beauti- ful Drummond Lights, whose pale, beautiful, tance around, eclipsing all the’ gas lights in their immediate neighborhood, Above these wus the word ‘* Washington” displayed in pyrotechnic art, together with the date ‘*1776” above it, and beneath “1844.” In the large space of ground above mentioned, there were two plattorms erected —one at the east and the other at the west, some 70 or 100 yards apart. ‘The proceedings were an- nounced to commence at 7 o’clock, but it was near upon 8 ere the chair waa taken. In the mean- while there were discharged several most beauti- ful rockets, and at two points in the neighbor- hood were, ignited piles of tar barrels, which spread such a flame as to almost eclipse the eclipser of the gas lights, the Drummond lights. lt was then found there was no accommoda- dations prepared for the reporters, and in a short time a couple of shutters on the top of two trusstes were placed, but instead of these being solely de- voted to the use of these very arduous set of labor- ers on behalf of the public generally, they were mounted in succession by each of the would-be orators of the evening, whose weight of arguments —or persons—were such as to almost break them down, and where that did not take place, the vi- bration of the speakers was such as to defy any person from taking almost a single note, notwith- standing repeated endeavors of the reporters to do no, and it was not uatil after these endeavors, that the reporters present were obliged to elose their books, finding it a vain attempt. If parties wish their proceedings properly reperted, they should provide proper accommodations, and then there would be less complaints of imperfect reports and garbled statements. “In addition to the above, there was a strong brass band pluced on the plat- form, which every now and then did not tend to aiminish its vibration. About the time last men- tioned, Mr. Ald. Winsuip was unanimously called tothe Chair amid considerabie applause. That gentleman immediately proceeded to business, and called upon Mr. Oaxcey, ofthe 17th Ward, who came forwerd — ‘That gentleman to sho v that the principles of the American Republican party were the same as those of the futhers of the revolution of 1776—they had been covered over by the rubbish of yet ut Were now dug up to shine brighter than ever. ‘This was shown in the spirit of the party of Philadelphia, and they would in all arts be fuund every ready to maintain the rights of true orn Americans against foreign interference, no matter by whom sent or by whom attempted. the Native Republican party was to protect their native land, and to support its best interest againat the various sordid cliques who wished to govern it to its ruin, and to dojwhich they were always ready when the cunatry required it, and the country required it now, and the Na- tive Republican party r.sponded heartily, ‘es bad been shown, to this cul.

But there was nothing very original in the obser vations, therefore the public will not lose much. 8. 8. Lawnence then came forward, and thanked those who had nominated him to the important office of Con- gress,fand also to the great meeting which had se hand- somely responded to it. The gentleman merely repeated the sentiments of the previous speakers in a very weak tone of voice. 'S. Satmonps, Esq., then presented himself and read a series of resolutions, which, together with the previou- papers, were carried unanimously. The gentlemen then Tequested those present to fall into procession and they would perambulate the principal streets in the district.— heer f This bai accordingly done, andthe Native American party of the 6th. 9th, 10th and 13th wards proceeded to tall fo under their respective banners, headed by different bands of music. These were shortly after joined by the Native Republican party from Brooklyn, about 300 in number. Altogether the procession, in point of numbers, had a very imposing effect, about 5000 in number, princi- pally consisting of, ry “Hobble-de-hoys—neither men or boys,” that are so frequently seen in great numbers with theen- gines at various fires.

There are in circulation post notes of the Exchangs Bank of Lockport, in the form of bank notes, signed M. 'W. McChesney, and J. B. Mead, president. These certi- ficates have no other security then the credit of the bank issuing them, which,in many cases is of a very doubtful nature. Certificates of deposite, issned by free banke, are particularly suspicious. These banks have no cepitel for the security of their issues, but that deposited with the comptrollér—the,issues on these deposits, countersigned by the comptroller, are, without doubt, perfectly safe and good, but issues in any other shape should not be receiv- ed. The banks have a rightto issue these certificates of deposit. Unlike the post notes of former days they are per- fectly legal, and when given merely for the purpose of ensuring the safety of a remittance, arefound very oonve- nient—but we fear there are other motives lurking below those set forth by the institution issuing them, and should they obtain a gemeral circulation, the increase would be very rapid. There are many of the free banksof this State, the promises to pay of which, beyond those secured by the comptroller, are not worth the paper used in manufacturing them, which are brought into exist- ence merely to be ready at any time an opportunity may arise, to palm off upon ths people issues of the most worth- Jess nature, such as certificates of deposit having from six, eirht and twelve months to run, ke , ke. ‘The banks and insurance companies of New Bedford and Fairhaven have declared the following dividends :— New Beprorp Banxs anv Insurance Comrantes.

In 1842, three millions, forty-eight thousand one hundred and forty-three pounds of coffee were imported inte this country from the Netherlands, and for nine months in 1843, we do not find in the report of the Seere” tary of the Treasury, the import of a single pound. By a recent decision made by Secretary Bibb of the Treasury department, coffeelimported into theUnited States from the Netherlands in the vessels of that nation, must be entered the same as coffee brought from the place of growth in American bottoms. Oar treaty with the Netherlends atipu- lates that merchandize imported in the vessels of that na- tion, shall be entered on us favorable! footing as in Ameri- can bottoms, and whatever laws we may have madesince that treaty was made, conflicting with that agreement, must be declared null end void. The tarifl act of 1842, which went into operation in September, that coffee when imported from the place of growth in Americen vessels, shall be entered duty free; but when imported from other places, shall pay the duty of twenty per cent, According to this law, coffee imported into the United States trom the Netherlands in American bottoms, must pay twenty per cent duty, whereas according to the trea- ty, coffee imported into the United States from the Nether- lands, in the vessels of that country, must be entered duty free, thereby placing the vessels of a foreign govern- ment, on a more favorable footing in entering our own ports than our own vessels. This is just aceording to existing treaties, which between nations take precedence of ali other local laws ; but it is very severe, and operates very injuriously to ourown shipping. These difficulties should be remedied as soon as possible ; but we cannot conceive how it is possible to do away with all the ob- structions, without makiog new commerciul treaties with several of the European powers, or without making altera- tions in the ; resent tariff act. The amount of duties to be refunded under the desision of the Secretary cannot be very large, but that is a second consideration compared to the policy of admitting into our own ports, foreign ves. sels more favorably than our own. The consumption of coffee threughout the world ap- pears to be annually decreasing, while the production is rapidly increasing. Atthis rate, prices must, before ma- ny years, suffer seriously. In the United States, the con- sumption of this article is on the increase, but the decline in Europe is more than snfficient to offvet it. The impor- tation into the United States for two or three years past, convey no correct idea of the demand for consumptiom:— For some time previous to the passage of the present te- riff act, and ever since, those engaged in the coffee trade have been expecting the levy of a duty upon the article, and until that question is settled, the supply for home consumption will not be governed by the demand. Im- portations have for some time pest been made on specula- tion, and in anticipation of a duty being levied. The vast quantity of coffee now produced,'with the decline in con- sumption, forbids eny improvement in prices. We are supplied from countries so remote from each other, that no contingencycan possibly happen likely to producee scarcity.
