NEW YORK HERALD. New York, Saturday, Nov One Week Later from Europe, Che Hibernia, having been thirteen days out yes- terday noon, we have reason to expect that she yeached Boston before the mail left in the after- noon. If she did arrive by that time, we shall re- ceive her news at an early hour this morning, ELECTION RETURNS, EXTRA HERALDS. We will publish to-day, between two and three vo’clock in the afternoon, an Exrra Heraip, con- taining the first returns from Pennsylvania of the Presidential election, which took place there yes- terday. These returns will be of vast importance. {tas highly probable that the different party prints and party offices may issue extras, in the course of the morning, with their reports; both parties claim- img, ag usual, the victory. In the extra, with the intelligence which we may receive, we shall give au accurate and philosophical opinion on the pres. ent aspect of the contest, and the probable result that may be expected in Pennsylvania, from the retarns that may be received. Itis possible that *aese returas may be of such a character as will ena- ie us to predict to a certainty who will be elected Provident, whether it will be Mr. Clay or Mr. Polk. Hf 90, we SUIT state our opinion with per- r impartiality, truth, and detérmiuesion— Ii the three o’clock extra should not con- tain sufficient information, we may probably publish one at #ix o’clock in the evening, contain- img the desired information; and at all events, the Sunday Herald will undoubtedly contain important results. And through the whole day on Sunday, as 890n a8 We may receive intelligence from any quar- ter caleulated to throw light on this extraordinary contest, we shall immediately issue an extra with authentic intelligence, and correct and philosophi- eal conclusions therefrom Let the news-boys prepare themselves for extras during the neat few days. And if the public want correct information, with impartial and well ma- tured opinions formed on that information, they must look to the Herald extra. We have never de eeived the public, and we never shall deceive them. The Grand Democratic Torch Light Pro- cession. The locofoco torch-light procession last evening was one of the grandest, greatest, roughest, wild- est, and most original displays that ever took place in this country. A full report will be found in another colamn—but no report can pourtray its character. ‘It looked” asa poet said, “like all hell itself let loose, with Satan at their head and his hottest devils &t their tail” In point of num- bers, it was twice as large as the recent whig pro- ssion. Its political results in ordinary times would point toa grand majority of 5000 or 6000— bat asthe “ natives” are in the field, with a fierce enthusiasm, and as much “fire and brimstone,” no one can predict with any degree of accuracy wo we wait till Tuesday next. Approaching Close of the War. At length we are in sight of land. The presi- dential contest comme 1 yesterday in Pennsy!- vania and Ohio, and will be continued for several days to come, keeping this city and the ;whole country agitated for at least one week longer. After the general result shail have been ascertained, and Mr.Clayor Mr. Polk elected, we shall all then return to peace, quiet, and re pose; and be enable to turn our atteation to all those various interests that will produce more real benefit to the country, than the strange contest through which we have been passing for the last six months. Just us look at the brief space of time we have thus passed over, for the traces that are left to mark its history. During the last six mouths the country has been ,eonvalsed trom the centre to its uctermost extremities, by a contest as fierce--as violent—as full of exhibitions of the bad passions as any ever witnessed. We have seen, in various ways, during that brief space of time, per- petrated as many falsehoods, forgeries, violations of all decency and virtue, as might last a reasona- ble people for a whole century. The waste of time, the expenditure of money, the total loss sustained to the country, may be set down probably at half as much as the entire cost of the revolutionary war. And what has it all been about? The elec- tion of an individual to oceupy the Presidential Chair as the successor of Captain Tyler! As the man in the farce says, “* What a fuss about a bit of pork !”” To the impartial spectator—to the munud that can contemplate the past, examine the present, and look forward” to the future, all this contest, about the presidency, and “* the principles,” as they are called, involved in it, has been a contest about non- entities and absurdities. We are perfectly satisfied from every thing we have seen, during the last six months, and from all that we can observe now, that so far as the destiny of this nation is concern- ed,it is a matter of very litile consequence indeed, whether Mr. Clay or Mr. Polk be selected to in- habit the White House. On the usual principles ef human action, Mr. Clay js probably the best man of the two. In consequence of his great public reputation, his emineat talents as a tesman, and his distinguished career in is country, which is known to the whole world, he would be the most desirable man to fill the chair of the chiel magistrate. The attacks made on Mr. Clay in relation to his private character,—the allegations urged against him as to doeliing, gambling, card-playing, drinking, and various other vices,—we consider as the most pre- posterous—the most unworthy—and the most un- inanly eharacteristics of any which marked the contest in its entire progress. No doubt Mr. Clay has his weaknesses—who has not? But he is still statesman of high character,—he is one, who, if ted, would contribute to the elevation and ornament of the Presidency; and who would, no one can doubt, manage the affairs of the country with great talent and a just degree of patriotism. On the other hand, if Mr. Polk should be cted, although he is a man of inferior mental ibre to Mr. Clay, less known to the coun- ind to the world at large, yet we believe him & very honest, sensible, well-intentioned enean, who would conduct the affairs of the erably well; but who from his position, 4 variety of other circumstances, would much the Presideat as Mr. Clay would be. wet? We have seen, during the last ot, aod political influence sceasary for a President to possess. Captain Tyler, without # party to back him—with no influence ever—with very public reputation in ad- assailed by the factions of both parties of all personal and political influ. has yet been a very good President, and eader the laws, institutions, and public opin- oa of this couatry, has managed extremely we i; and it is perfectly evident, notwithstanding all the ridvoulous cries of the partizans of both sides, that this country in its grand movement to 2 great here- after, is not to be affected—is not to be changed )9 hot to be thwarted in the least degree by the tri mph or defeat of any party, or any candidate on any occasion. The agitation, tumult and hubbub around us, marking the progress of this great coun- try in its Presidential election, have!.tio more ef feet on its great destiny than the fretting and fuming of the angry billows, as they beat upor the rocks on the sea-shore, have apon the lawe o natare or the destiny of the earth itself. Whoever, therefore, is elected President, be ii of the United States ved once Mr. Clay or Mr. Polk, we shall be perfectly satis» fied, and more than satisfied; becatse with the tet- mination of the contest, we shall have quiet and repose; and time to attend to the varied interes's of the country, literary, religious, commercial, finan- cial, and every other. During the next four years, we have said, and we expect it, we shall have more prosperous times, and make greater advances in every thing that constitutes civilization and na- tional greatness, than ever we have made in double the time heretofore. All the elements of civiliza- tion, affecting the social, religious and commercial interests of this great and mighty community, are only awaiting the termination of this Presidential contest'to leap forth with a vigor and intensity, that can onlv be likened to the speed of the steam engine with that of the old lumbering vehicles drawn by horses or oxen, in which our fathers journeyed over bad roads, fullof obstructions and impediments. Let us, therefore, rejoice that the prospect of having a President of one kind orano- ther, is so mgh at hand; and that whoever be elec- ted, the prosperity of the country is certain—the dissolution of the Union impossible—the re-an- nexation of Texas unavoidable—and better times than ever certain. Tas Axo.irionisrs—It is very amusing to ob- serve the movements of both parties upon the abo- litionists, and the attempts which both are making to conciliate that fragment of a party in the present contest. The locufocos are endeavoring to per- suade the abolitionists 10 stand by their man, Mr. Birney, ad’to vere far him, thereby hoping tosub- tract from the whig perty a sufficient numberof votes to defeat Mr. Clay. Ou the other hand, the whigs are endeavoring to blow up Mr. Birney, on the ground that a secret coalition has been formed between the locofocos and him, and by that means hoping to disgust the abolitionists with their own candidate, and ihus get them back to the whig ranks. The various means employed by both parties to accomplish their objects are amusing. The loco- toco journals state that Thurlow Weed and Edward Curtis, the ex-Collector of this port, are out in the western part of this State on a tour of observation, with a large fund of money collected in Boston, which they are distributing in every county where any chance of getting the aboli- tionists to abandon their own ticket. If this be true—which we would’nt venture to swear to, for they lie so dreadfully of each other, these party prints, we can’t believe the one half of what they say—it is the best movement yet undertaken by the wiigs for the purpose of aiding Mr. Clay.— It is impossible to do anything in these days without money. Aad if the Boston manufacturers have $100,000 o spare, we do not see why any oae should object to their sending it into the interior of this State and scattering it there. Thurlow Weed has had a long experience in making bargains of all kinds, and Mr. Curtis, with less experience, has probably as much good-will, as much diplomatic ‘alent, as Thurlow. Indeed, if any two men can make a good bargain with the abolitionists in the interior of this State, these are the men, and cer- tainly they can’t do it without money. So much on that point. Another very funny thing is in relation to the “‘natives” of Philadelphia and this city. It seems both whigs and locofocos have just discovered that a great deal depends on how the “ natives” vote— a thing which they never dreamed of till we told them so. Well, both parties—the Clay men on the one side, and the Polk men on the other—are now desperately at work, trying to cotch the *‘ natives” in Philadelphia and New York. The locofocos get up what they call a “democratic native” meeting in the Park, but unfortunately for them it turns out afailure. Onthe other hand, Senator Archer, of Virginia, accompanied by Jo Gales, of Washing- ‘on, has been in Philadelphia with a letter from Mr. Clay, in which he offers, in case of his election, to put the Custom House under “ native” control, if they will vote the Clay ticket; aud they also say that Mr. Archer is now in this city on the same errand. Now as to this matter, we don’t know whether it it is true or false; yet there is something probable in it, although it is quite as likely tobe a lie from beginning to end. Butif only half of it be true, it is the best mode to get the “native” vole yet devised. We are a trading people. Nothing can be done without the dollar, or some equivalent. If we cannot offer money, we must offer stock, and if we can’t offer stock, we can offer office. So then if Senator Archer offers the control of the Custom House, and all the ap- purtenances thereunto belonging, to the ‘‘natives,” on condition that they vote the Clay ticket, it will do more to accomplish that great and desirable end than any thing yet done. It is thus quite possible hat Mr. Clay may carry this city by a large ma- jority, and at all events, if the statemert be true which we have given, it is clear that political trade is not declining. All this discovers the extreme closeness of the contest. Both parties are engaged in all sort of schemes, plots, conspiracies, and contrivances to catch the abolitionists, the natives, and every fag ead of clique and faction which can be found in the country. It is a mere haphazard who is to be elect- ed President. SrRancers IN tHE Ciry.—A number of political strangers of distinction are in the city at present; not so much, probably, to give a particular direc- ion to party movements, as to look on and see what is passing. We perceive that Joseph Gales, Esq , the editor of the National Intelligencer, is here, with his family. Mr. Gales has long been before the public as an editor, and was at one time he only reporter for the newspapers in Washing- ton. If Mr. Clay and the whigs should succeed by the aid of the “ natives,” Messrs. Gales & Seaton will probably be made printers to the next Congress —rather singular, when we recollect that Mr. Gales is a foreigner by birth, although he has spent three-fourths of his life in this country. Another stranger here just now, was Senator Archer of Virginia. It is stated that he was here on mission relative to the ‘ natives.” With what success he has met as yet, we do not know. Tue Late Proprietor or Prosrzct Hatu.— Mr. Nowlan, the gentlemanly and popular proprie- tor of Prospect Hall, has sold out that establish- ment and retires from it altogether. We trustthat he will not continue in retirement-—as it might be called—for any lengthened period. No one who has had the management of such an establishment a3 that which he has just disposed of, ever gave more satisfaction to the public. Mr. Newlan was first selected by the Harlem Rail Road Company, oa the opening of the tunnel, to occupy that house, and his management of it from first to last has been successful and creditable in the highest degree. His entertainments to the Corporation and other public bodies—his uniformly courteous attention to his guests—his unostentatious hospi- tality—his remarkable tact and gentlemanly de- meanor, all rendered his house one of the most agreeable and favorite resorts in the neighbourhood of this city. We trust next spring to see Mr. Nowlan once more in a situation where his talents and experience as an hotel-keeper will again serve the public. Naturavization.—Since the April election there ave been naturalized, in the Superior Court, 768; n the Court of Common Pleas, up to last evening, bout 577; in the Marine Court, 707. The latter sourt still remains open for the admission of appli- vants. The probable accession of new voters, it 8 supposed, will amount to between two and three housand. We shall peblish an accurate return of be actual admissions, since the last spring election 1p to Monday evening next, and in the meantime epert the daily retur Tue Porice Bit. —The Board of Assistants met ut evening, with a view to act upon this new vil; but ne quorum being present, the Board ad- vurned Immense Democratic Demonstrationaetirent and Unprecedented Procession—Last Rally of the Polkites. ‘ The contemplated toreh-light procession of the demoeratic party of thiscity came off last evening, and it exceeded in point of numbers, eathusiasm, and excitement any political procession ever made in New York. The evening was beautiful, the aky serene, and not a breath of air to extin- guish « light or tear, @ jbanner, At about dusk the martial notes of preparation were heard in almost every street, and the hurrying of horses and horsemen to and fro to gather in the line with the several divisions, betokened an im- mense turn out on the occasion. At about half past 6 o’clock the line was formed, preceded by Elijah F. Purdy, the Grand Marsfal. The side-walk® along the intended route of the procession were crowded with pedestrians, and the windows of the stores and dwellings filled with anxious female spectators. Numerous houses, hotels, stores and dwellings were most splendidly illuminated and decorated with flags, banners and devices of every deecription end invention. A mounted escort, led by the Independent Polk Club, headed the proces- sion, followed by the Empire Club, which turned out in its full force, including several hundred horsemen. Then followed the liberated Martin Luther, and Rhode Island Delegation, Empire Club of Brook- hep Richmond County Associations, Newark Jelegation, Young Men’s Central Hickory Asso- ciation, and Hoboken Club, that closed the first di- vision. Thesecond was led off by Mounted Es- cort Young Hickory Association, 12 Pioneers with torches ipDisirict Band; White Eagle Club of the ity of New to 3 Ist Ward Democratic ‘Associntions ; 24 Vittles! cratic Associations ; 3d Ward Democratic Associ- ations; 4th Ward Democratic Associations; 5th Ward Democratic Associations, y Then came the third division, preceded with pioneers and torches. Johnson Association; Gih ward Associations, led by the Silas Wright Club, Young Men’s Hickory Club, Young Hickory As- sociation ; 7th ward Associations, led by Ironsides Club, Van Buren Hose Co. No. 26, Black Joke Fire Engine Co. No. 83; 10th Ward Associations, ted by mounted escort and Engine Co. 15; 10th ene Club ; 18th Ward Young Hickory Association ; 13th Ward Democratic Associations; German Democratic Associations. | Then followed the fourth division, also led by the Stage Drivers Association; then the Polk. Wright Cit Club); Sth Ward Young Hickory As- sociation; 8th ard Democratic Association ; 8th Ward But-End Coon Hunters; 8th Ward Empire Club ; 8th Ward Wright-End Coon Hunt- ers; 9th Ward Young Hickory Association ; 9th Ward Jackson Empire Ciub; 14th Ward Young Hickory Association; 14th Ward White Eagle Club; United Associations of Democratic Republicans, and Democratic House Carpenters, who numbere several hundred. Q The Satlors turned out in large numbers, ‘pre- ceded by a ship made of hickory foes and com- pletely rigged and manned by a jolly crew. The ilots made a splendid display, and exhibited sev- eral beautiful models of their skimmers of the seas, and various banners and devices. The boat- men cf Whitehall and Staten Island made a strong show with several beautitul models and boats fully manned with crews in uniform. r “ok ‘The fifth and last division was comprised princi- pally of democratic butchers,whopresented a most splendid appearance, preceded by three hundred mounted on grey horses. ‘Then followed the 11th Ward Coon Hunters; 12th Ward Democratic Re- publican Associations; 15th Ward Democratic Re- publican Associations; 16th Ward Democratic Re- publican Assoniations; and 17th Ward Democratic Republican Associations. i The whole line was interspersed with banners and devices of every kind and description, among which we noted Free Trade and Sailors’ Rights—Thomas Wilson Dorr: State bo Seaehadaast that Koast Beef?—No U. 8. Bauk ‘This Flag was at the Battle of New Orleans, 8th Janu- ary, 1815: Major A. Davezac—-Texas—The Star of San Jacinto shall glitter on our Banners to-night: Remember Dorr—Albany Basin Rattlers: Sound the trumpet, beat the drum; Tremble, Clay, we come, we come—We've got the boy who toll’d the bell, To toll the Coons their ‘uneral knell—The Widow of the murdered Cilley hes at last fallen - We oppose the Whigs because the Whigs are favorable to the British—Germans by accident ; Ameri. cans by choic? ; Democrats by principle. The number of horses and horsemen in the pro- cession was unprecedented, as by accurate count they exceeded three thousand. The time occupied in passingyany given point was three hours, and the whole number of persons in the line, excluding musicians, was twelve thousand five hwndred and thirteen. Fireworks were exhibited at almost every point in the etreets, and the shouting, the screaming, the Drummond lights, the torches, &c., rendered the whole scene one of the most exciting and peculiar that ever passed off inthis city. The ladies appeared to vie with each other in demonstrations of favor, as handkerehiefs, towels, pillow cases, sheets, and every thing else, that fooked like white musin, was waved from the windows and balconies as the procession passed. The whole affair terminated without secident, or coljision, and notwithstanding such an immense gathering, at 1 o’clock this morning ti~ city ap- peared restored to its usual quiet and order. “The whole affair reflected credit upoa those engaged ; and the demonstrations of enthusiasm and feeling eVinced a disposition on the part of the Democracy to make a most determined rally in this city for Pelk and Dallas. Sate or Suawis.—The sale of Shawls at the Apollo Rooms, yesterday, went off apparently to the satisfaction of all concerned. The articles of- fered for sale—all of course the most choice and rare of their kind—were hung around the room ; the Indies walked around it, sat around it, chatted around it, debating whether blue, green, orange or crimson should be esteemed as the most novel, recent and fashionable of the primitive colors ; whether Timbuctoo or Tartary, Cashmere or Candahar produced the finest shawls, and teve- ral other legitimate topics. The bidding was not keen, yet uniform and free. A greatsimilarity prevailed in the quality and styles of the goods, and the prices obtained, in most cases varied little. About twenty dollars was the upset price, and that obtained was, for the;most of them, between thirty and forty. A few went off higher, but mary more, again, brought!no more than from seventeen to twenty-five dollars. The bidding was not at all confined to the ladies ; there were nota few smart competitors among the male portion of the audience, but whether they were gentlemen “© of the trade,” or deputed by their ladtes—whether they were doing business on commission, or on their “ own hoek,” doth not appear. [t is, how- ever, of nofconsequence; the shawls sold pretty well—no questions being asked as to where they came from—whether from Persia, Turkey, China, or India, and of course no remarks made by Mr, Ludlow upon such a foreign topic. One connois- sieur we overheard remarking to his neighbor that they smacked of Paisley, and smelt like London, outithe catalogue, on the other hand, said they were from the dominions of the Great Mogul and the Cham of Tartary, {com Hyderabad, Astrabad, Jel- lalabad and Bagdad ; from Persia, Hindostan and the territory of that super-excellent Oriental sove- reign, who proclaims himself Brother of the Sun, Cousin of the Moon, and King of the Twenty-four Umbrellas. Nearly all the stock was sold, but there was no great anxiety manifested to continue at the prices, which may be regarded as very little, if any thing, below the value of the shawls sold; and it is very likely that another salesof shawls—Cashmere shawls, mind—is not very far distant. Success to trade. U. 8. Revenve Proretier Jurrerson.—This iron steamer, destined for Lake Ontario, is now ready for Jaunching at Oswego. She was constructed un- der contract with Chas. Knapp, Jr. of Pittsburgh, whence the iron was bay 4 ready for fitting up, aud superin- tended by John W. Capes of New York. She is in all re spects an excellent and seaworthy vessel,at least as far as can be known before a trial is made, and the officers now at Oswego ak confidently that her sailing qualities will not diseppoint the department. Her tonnage is about 360 Custom House messurement. Length of keel. . ,. Breadth of beam, ++ 125 feet. pr aan “Theis pierced for 26 guns, but will now only corry id ship.

It is not intended to get her ready for sea until next spring.—Albany Atlas. spree Opening Sessional Add of Dr. Ntevons at New York Medical College, Crosby at. There was a very numerous and highly respect- able attendance in the principal lecture room of this Institute last evening, to hear th eSessional Address of Dr. Stevens. Among those present, were a considerable number of ladies, cheering, with their presence, their children, brothers, and friends, in the commencement of their studies for an arduous profession, Shortly’ after the hour appointed for the com- mencement of the business of the evening, the principal officers of the institution entered, and each was received, as he entered, with a strong expression of approbation. ‘The Rev. J. Knox opened the proceedings with prayer, Dr. Stevens then came fer-vard, and was received with probation. The gentleman commenced his address by observing that now, for the first time, they had assembled together in the preser.ce of the authorities of the ¢ol in pursuit of their high and aay, calling. He was that he should not be able to do it that justice it merited. He wished to dngree those who were about to enter the profession with a true idea of its dignity. ‘The class the previous session did much to their credit, as well as to the officers of the Institution, and he thought he could promise as much for them this Session. He hoped that ail were well acquainted with the classics; those who were would find it much to their advantage, as it would afford them great facility in understanding the different terms made use of in the profession ; but the best and most valuable of all studies was close observation and the well weighing of ever; fact that was laid before them ; without this the whole of their studies would not be half so valuable to them. No matter,how hard they labored, they could learn much from others but more from themselves. In every respect they must be in mind and conduct gentlemen— well acquainted with every topic of the day. Ihey should bear in mind the conduct of Zeno, who, desirous ot knowing tive best way of living ,consnlted the oracle thereon, and the Delphic replied * mone the Dead,” they would be obliged to do so although for somewhat different purpose, and by perseverance and industry, they would never want bread. The gentleman proceed- @1 TO thow that inedicine was af much @ science ds any other known, although, not based on fixed rules, The education required for the profession was the discipline of the mind; ‘at amount o! knewledge did not so much tend to thig,as personal inquiry and investigation of tne different taets laid beiore them. The gentleman pro- ceeded to treat om the comparative value of oral and book information, showing that although valuable in some re- apectnots so much so as onal observation and td by comparison ; and said it wus neceswary toget as muc! a8 he possibly could from others and boos. But the best book of cil was the book of nature ; for the rest th were to look tothe other sources. The great fault in ed- ucation, was that of treating on things before the articles themselves were presented to the students. ntle- man illustrated this part of his subject by the now ado; in ous best schools for children, in present- ing before them the object and then explaining to them its nature aud qualities; for instance, he said, take the ease of a pleurisy, upon which volumes had been written, and the student could glean more intormation in one interview with a patient subject to this disorder, than he could from the reading of numbers ot treatises, Plutarch did not learn by reading, but{by observation ; such would be found more particularly necessary in the case of medical stud:nts ; and those who only studied books would {find that when they got @ patient, then it was that their learning began. The gentleman proceeded to show how trequently he had met with such cases in his own practice. He then proceeded to show how much better it was for the student to take some common cases, and study them well, and not too guickly, to widen their sphere, because if theydid so he would only gain a superficial knowledge, which was the most erous of all; they should first take the micro- scope and the telescope afterwards—their knowledge might be more limited, but 1t would be more certain ; love of novelty might make them new patents, but would not tend to their benefit. He was ever ready to defend the profession, but could not support such proceedings — Those who were given to experiments never raised them- selves in the proteesion, were injurious to their pa- tients. The gentleman proceeded t yw the value of ctinical instruction, and stated that a gentleman had been appointed to give lecturesfon this branch during the present session (approbation ) He next proceeded to treat on the value of the study of comparative anatomy. He begged to address a few words to the senior | rethren of the profession. ‘The legislature of this‘state had thought Cae, to open the portals of the profession somewhat wider than formerly , thereby they fancied they were in: jured or dispai in public estimation ; but they would allow him to say, that it was, or ought to be, the object of legisletors to study the interest of the mass, not that, of this, or any other profession; and if it did throw on society a number of ignorant men, it wasa fact that bad surgeons made more work for good ones. (Approbation and laughter.) lt the profession was only true to themselves they n aot fear anything else, for by your superior capabilities you will receive @ greater amount of success. Much of the evil at present existing was owing to themselves, in opening to others facilitics at a small cost for entering into it, but it should never be said that such was thecase in this institution ; it never had held out a lure for cheap graduating nor as long as he was connected with it, never should. (Approbation) We ask the support of the pro- fession, they would take cars. never to overstock it with half educated practitioners. Those educated at this College, found they could with greater facility pass the Naval and Military Boards, no small desideratum to young men. On asubsequent occasion, he would go more fully inte the different points he had touched upon, and hoped what he had remarked upen would be found worthy of cheir consideration. The gentleman then sat down amid 4 strong expression of approbation. This is but a meagre outline of the learned gen- leman’s excellent and talented address, which the pressure of more exciting topics at the present mo- ment, prevents our doing that justice to it merited. The company was then invited to view the mu- seum and other parts of the establishment, of which hey availed themselves, and appeared highly sa- tisfied with what had taken place. City Intelligence. Police Office,N oy. 1—Intent ro sreax Jai.—About iLo’clock last night it was discovered that cell No. 72, to the 2nd corridor of the City Prison,and which had been illotted to Jack Sullivan, the burglar arrested by Justice Matsel and officer Relye, indicted-jwith Teel |) for breaking into the mises of Messrs. Scott & Co., in Broadway, and ste ic olere amount of perty con- sisting of laces &c., and who was awaiting his trial, was vacant, An alarm was at once given, and Mr. Cox, the ead keeper, sent for. Search was immediately made for Sullivan in'the yards, sessions room, &c ,‘&c | but he could not be found. After considerable time had elapsed + communication was received from the pirate, Babe, given from his cell, that Johnson, during the jay, and who is one of the deputy keepers of he corridor had removed Sullivan trom cell No. 72 to sell No. 64, as the inner door of the former had no Jatch (o it, it having been broken ofl. No. 64 was then unlock- d, and Sullivan found therein lying on his bunk, and Mr. Cox proceeded to search his cell, and there founda concealed under so7 e of the bed clothes, a skeleton key, wo files, a razor and a small saw ; and as there could be 10 doubt that these implements were surreptitiously ob- ained to enable the prisoner to effect his deliverance and ‘o evade the justice of the laws, he was better secured and the implements removed into ster hands.

TRINIDAD AND Cr1enFruRGOs—We copy the fol- owing from the Caracas Liberal of Oct.7. We nave ! sard to-day fearful accounts of the ravages of the ate gale on the south side of the Island of Cuba. At Trint- lad, and in its neighborhood, the gale was peculiarly severe, fairly uprooting the cane plant in many instances, vl in neorly all, destroying utterly the plaintain, corn, 1 coffee plants. This loss comes peculiacly hard at this : upon the planter, as the crops at best were but indif- nt, owing to the drought of the past winter and 4 ring Che coming sugar crop of that vicinity cannot, it is said, a on unt half ot thet of the past year. At Clenfacges ind its neighborhood, the gale, though very severe, has sot, Welearn, cal the same amount of dampge to the other crops, as at Trinidad—neither hed the cane crop been as severely injured. Ab a aii ‘ Premionaain Inrertsonnce-A good deal of ine quiry is beginning to be made in the fashionable circles and amongst thefélite relative to the pros- pects of the ensuing winter, and what particular movements will occupy the minds, tongues, and “fantastic toes” of the “town” during the ap- proaching season. ¥ One of the principal amusements of the fashion- able circles will undoubtedly be attendance on the Italian Opera, which opens about the middle of this month, The subscription to this elegant amusement is increasing, and we have no doubt will increase as long as the gay world is assured there will be no. difficulties in the company a8 heretofore; and thatthey will have a chance. of hearing some of the best operas ‘that have ever been produced in Europe, by = com- pany that is now considered remarkably good and well disciplined. The season is to com- mence with Clara di Rosemberg, in which Madame Pico is, we believe, to be prima donna—an artist whose voice is said to be of the. first quality, both as to extent and melody. We have not heard whether the ballet will be united with the opera daring the season; but we think it would be agreat advantage to the company to unite a dance or a ballet of some kind with the opera, to relieve the monotony that might reign without it. Martin and De:jardins are, from the specimens they gave us the other night at Niblo’s, on occa- sion of their benefit there, evidently fully compe- tent to conduct the ballet. On the occasion to which we refer, a Spanish dance and the Polka were introduced, and received with great eclat. Another amusement of the season will, no doubt, consist in the new Hungarian dance—the Polka— at all the fashionable parties. We understand that M. Korponay, the Hungarian gentleman who first introduced that dance into this country from Eu- rope, has now commenced giving lessons in this city; and we understand that the pupils in bis class- es already number one hundred or more. He has ilso private classes in various parts of the city, composed of the members of several families,who unite together at their own houses and receive his lessons. Mr. Korponay intends, itseems remaining in this country only till next sammer. He expects to receive a pardon for his political offences, for which he was banished by the Emperor of Austria ; and the probability is, that he will return, in a year or 80, to his native country, Hungary, and there again enjoy his titles, wealth and honors. It is, indeed, a singular spectacle to see a Hungarian nobleman, thus introducing into this country one of the beautiful dances of his native land; and re- minds us of the strange vicissitudes of individual fortune, which marked the outbreak of the French Revolution, when Louis Philippe himself, and many other royal and noble émigrés from that land, were obliged to employ their talents in vari- ous humble occupations, in order to obtain a live- lihood. In Boston, Mr. Korponay was exceedingly well received. He isnot a mere dancing master; and his position in society, and gentlemanly de- meanor, gained for him the most distinguished morks of respect from the élite of that refined city. Several complmientary balls, got up for him there, were attended and cewducted by some of the most distingué of the fashionable world in Beston. These are some of the new elements that may be expected to enter into the movements of fa- shionable society this winter. We shall, of course, rave, as usual, a variety of theatrical entertain- ments, and other exhibitions of various kinds. Altogether, we think that the approaching winter a New York, and throughout the country, will be one of the liveliest, most agreeable, and most de- ightful that we have had for years. All political isperities will be softened down alter the settle- ment of the Presidential question, and every one vill retura to the enjoyment of the courtesies and ileasures of refined society.

Boston, Oct. 31, 1844. Millerism— Politics— Lectures-—Concerts—Theatri- cals-- Pictures —Striped Pig—Gregshops—Billiard Rooms, Sc. $c. My Dear Six:— A kind of tranquility has once more resumed ite sway, now that Millerism has been exploded, al- though politics continue to keep up a tolerable ex- citement. On Tuesday evening the Whig Young Men’s Club met strongly in the Tremont Temple, the Honorable C. F. Adams President in the chair. They were addressed by the Honorable Robert C. Winthrop, the Hon. Rufus Choate, and Charles T. Russell, Esq. From the earnestness of the speak- ers, their sophistry of argument, and their philan- thropic and patriotic asseverations, one unskilled in the craft of politics must have been cenvinced that Clay would inevitably “go in” by an over- whelming majority. The demociats, not to be out- done, assembled on the same evening in Faneuil Halltothe number of nearly five thousand, and what with speeches from (ol. Isaac Emery, Robert Kantoul, Esq.—the latter speaking over three heurs—contrived to make their followers believe that the cause of Clay was without redemption, and that Polk and Dallas were as sure of election as day must follow darkness, There is a grand whig procession te night by torch light, but I fear the weather will destroy their perepatetic patriot- ism. The editor of the Boston Pilot is making himself very officious in political matters, and in- stead of advancing the cause of Catholic citizens, is deep'y injuring it. This same editor is not even a naturalized citizen, and yet he presumes to dic- tate to native Americans how they must act in the coming Presidential contest. Is it not enough to cause the heart of every American to swell with. indignation—to cause choler to assume the reins of reason, and prostrate wit': the dust every foreign innovator upon the rights, principles ee Institu- tious bequeathed to. them with the blood and treasure of their forefathers. The spirit of 76 is fast rising, and will not hesitate from clothing itself in the garments of mas- sacre, if the Pope and his myrmidons do not cry peccavi. etures are beginning for the season, but I fear the present one will prove most unsuccessful The Lyceum can hardly get along. Gliddon is here, giving his dissertations on the. ** Pyramids ;” and Dr’ Lardner is again pre- paring for a visit to the goon. A Mr. Murdoch. once a performer, but now a teacher of vocal gy nastics, is peores to give lectures on the writ- ings ot Shakspeare. The Oratorio of the Creation ea paramned last Sunday, at the Melodeon, with H. Phillips. This gentleman has quite taken our citizens by storm, his style is so pure, melodious, and natural. Theatricals are flourishing bravely. At the National, Mr. Anderson has been most suc- cessful, and supported in a manner that reflects the highest credit on the management. Apropos, | per- ceive a spiteful remark in a correspondent’s letter from Boston, in the Herald of yesterday, reflecting on the stage management of this house. t must arise from the writer’s ignorance of the matter, or 4 pique against the gentleman who has control of this department. He is an individual of the most honorable character; thoroughly conversant with his profession, and, above all, an anthor of no in- considerable repute. There is but one feeling about hint in Boston, among genuemes, and that 1s, he is one. The Museum is doing a tolerable business ; Mrs. Barrett and Mr. Smith, once very spirited per- iormers, are the favorites here. I hope they will continue so. There is a mania at present very pre- valent among our 0. F.M, tor the buying of old pictures, which, generally, are neither more nor lees than the rakings of bar-rooms in Europe, brought out, puttied up, and passed off for ‘ originals;” and some ingenious Yankees are profiting by the folly of the pretended judges. The * striped pig” 18 again becoming popular. Grog-shops are rising in all quarters ; billiard-rooms are in the advance ; and stump orators, stocks, and steam, are A No.1 in Massachusetts. Talking of steam, the Acadia sails to-morrow, with a complement of over 50 pas- sengers, to cay nothing of bushels of letters, parers, : &e. My sheet is full, so adieu till next week. Ben. Personal Movements. Hon. Franklin Pierce spoke about an hour and forty minutes to the democrats of Lowell on Thursday evening tast. Hon. R. R.
