ND THE AHO!.ITIONIOTS. that the election is over in New York, and that the results of the recent canvass are known, the whig papers here are coming out one after another, letting out their secrets and telling their griefs to the world, indicating thereby how they have de- ceived and disappointed themselves and their friends, and which they never mean to do hereaf- ter. One of the most amusing papers in these days of whig lamentations, is the Albany Evening Journal; and one of the most amusing characters in his misfortunes is the amiable—the kind—the benevolent—the gentlemanly—with the long-nine- in-his-mouth, Thurlow Weed. Here is his la- mentation over the abolitionists :— New Yorx Conqueagp anv Ensiaven.—The Electors of the State of New York have rendered their verdict in favor of Polk, Texas, Foreign Free Trade and Slavery ! The whig party, after a manly and noble struggle, has The New Administration: Now that it is generally conceded that Mr. Polk will be the next President although there are ‘some faint hopes in certain portions of the whig party to the contrary, the seeculators on future movements are beginning to consider what the new administration is hkely to do in certain matters— what its policy may be in relation to public affai and, particularly, what direction it may take re- specting the distribution of the spoils—the succes- sion to the empire—and a variety of other matters and things. Thisis a most fertile subject—a most amusing and interesting one also, and will, no doubt, occupy the minds of the politicians in par- ticular, and the country at large, to a great extent, | failed to accomplish its deveted purpose of the dusing the siext few months, interests of the People and of advancing the ‘welfare and In the first place, who will be the members of } © phat an _ ver thought of for President, and ascon- fessedly unworthy of as unfitfor that high office, should become Chief Magistrate of the United States, excites equal astonishment and mortification. And that 2 man nominated Sey and avowedly to paralize American Enterprize and Industry, and to extend the boundaries and enlarge the political power of Slavery, should obtain a majority of the suffrages of the electors of New York, is as astounding as it is dis ful. There are several causes which contributed, more or less, to produce this inglorious result. But passing over. forthe pre.ent, incidental embarrassments, we come at once to the paramount, manifest, undeniable cause of our deteat. The State of New York bas been given to the ‘Texas and Slavery candidate for President by the aboli- tionists! This fact will be proclaimed by the official canvass, and stand recorded, through al) time, against the professed friends of Emancipation Polk’s majority in this State will tall below 5,000, while the vote thrown Fade ROM, Birney, who was running as a loco foco cen- sash sha as Birney lature, will exceed 15,000. s : ‘Omise. sharalore, have beguiled and ‘misled thousands of honest mene responsible for whatever of calamity befals the country. The great body of abolitionists are whig. The abolition leaders are locofoco. The abolition organs are loco foco These leaders and organs have been false to the cause of emancipation, and false to the Republic. The whig party, as such, is more truly and honestly devoted to the cause of African emancipation than the mis- named “ Liberty Party.” The cause of human freedom has been sacrificed by its professed advocates. The slave party owes its triumph tothe “ Liberty < accuse pot the honest but misguided abolitionists who have been thrown into false ition by their leaders and news} rs. We are, as we ave ever been, with them, in our abhorrence of slavery. We look forward, with them, to the extermination of this national curse. We will exert, as we have done, our humble powers to hasten this great work of perce and philanthropy. But we reprobate, as they will, the con- duct of men emong them who have used the friends of soins nee to extend and strengthen the cause of slavery. So now Thurlow admits to the fullest extent the cause of this result in New York, so disastrous to his party and his candidate. He at once endorses all that we had been reiterating for months before the election, relative to the injury which Mr. Webster, Mr. W. H. Seward, Mr. Cassius M. Clay, and all these marplots were inflicting upon Mr. Clay, by their course on the Texas and slavery questions. For telling the whigs those wholesome truths we were denounced in those ridiculous jour- nals as locofocos—when the fact was and is, that we don’t care a button for the locofocos or the whigs, although we care every thing for the coun- try. Yet now, after all the mischief is done, Thur- low Weed comes out and admits that we were quite right—acknowledges his obstinacy and blind- ness—and threatens to go over to the abolitionists because they have cheated the whigs so well! And we have no doubt he will go. On the same princi- ple of reasoning, there is every reason to believe that Thurlow Weed and various other whig edi- tors that have’been endeavoring to cajole and pour “blarney” into Bishop Hughes and the Catholic Priests‘and the Irish people during the last four years will now come forth and abuse {them with as much zeal and vehemence as ever they puffed and praised them. We have already seen Mr. Webster coming out and declaiming against all foreigners in Faneuil Hall, with as much sobriety and reason as the most violent and the smallest of all the violent and small orators at Military Hall in the Bowery. It is a very amusing thing, and very humiliating too, to see the whig leaders, from Daniel Webster downto Thurlow Weed, beginning already to blaze away egainst the “foreigners,” because they happened to exercise their political privilege of vo- ting just as they chose. As to poor Bishop Hughes and his Irish, ihey lad better look out for the next two orthree years. The whig party attribute all their defeat to them, and in retaliation for that, we have no doubt that they will open their guns upon them and persecute them far beyond anything that has taken place yet. Bishop Hughes will now find out his fatal mistake in rushing into the political arena, and delivering political cration at Carroll Hall, whether about the school money or anything else. During the text two years he will be sufficiently paid for his absurdities and misrepresentations and folly in his recent circulars against ‘Bennett and the Herald.” Mr. Polk’s cabinet ? Its formation will give the first indication of his policy in relation to public measures, and, also, with regard to the distribu- tion of ihe spoils. On this point, all is conjecture and doubt. Many suppose that Mr. Calhoun will be retained in the office of Secretary of State, and that several other members of the present cabinet will also be retained. We doubt very much whether this will be*the case. The great error which Capt. Tyler committed on succeeding to the Presidency atter the death of Gen. Harrison Was if retaining hia cabinet, and going into the White House in a trammelled condition. The present cabinet should, as a matter of duty and de- licacy, at once resign their offices, in order to al- low the new President perfect freedom in the con- sideration of his position, and the duties which he hasto discharge, and in the arrangement of his affairs, so asto give the highest character and the greatest reputation to his administration. We doubt, therefore, whether Mr. Calhoun will be re- tained in office as Secretary of State. No doubt his friends would persist in keeping him there, but there will be a great contest ebout this point, par- ticularly in a large portion of the democratic party. Another very important preliminary question springing up, has reference to the disposal of Cap- tain Tyler and the Tyler office-holders. The Ty- ler men already declare, here and elsewhere, that without the assistance of the present administra- tion, Mr. Polk could not have been elected, and therefore that they have aright to retain their pre- sent offices and position under the next adminis- tration. In opposition to these declarations and pretensions, the whole energies and influence of the Van Buren, Benton, and Silas Wright cliques, will be directed, for in this city the old democracy never will tolerate, for one moment, the present incumbents of the Custom House and Post Office, when Mr. Polk comes into power. This will make another very knotty point for conside- ration. Already the democrats here are making all their arrangements for a complete evacuation of the public offices atter the 4th of March next— selecting the candidates, getting up endorsements for them, and making every possible preparation for besieging the White House. On the other hand, the Calhoun and Tyler men are fortifying them- selves, in order, if possible, to retain their position, and we may expect in a very short time, to see a violent and destructive war break out here, as it has already broken out in Washington, between the Tyler and Calhoun interests on one side, and the Van Buren and Benton men on the other. Altogether the prospect of quiet and repose for Mr. Polk duringithe next four years, is not very fair. if he have the firmness and nerve to take a parti- cular course and hold himself aloof from all the faetions—to avoid mingling with any of the cliques —but calmly jand resolutely to take the course which we described as that which Captain Tyle should take, and which he did not take, we rather think that Mr. Polk could get a little more comfort than he otherwise has reasonto expect. We have no doubt Mr. Polk is a very honest and honorable man—a man of perfectly pure character—unsus pecting of the arta of the northern politicians—not ef extraordinary talent, but still of respectable ta lent. Eveiy think depends on the first step which he may take. Tne Prosrrrurion or Tur Press—Fatse Exre- tion Rervurns.—The licentiousness and prostitu- tion of the press which were so visible during the recent canvass in the publication of all species of vituperation, fraud and forgeries have been recent ly exceeded bya higher degree of turpitude, and more practical evil—we allude to the publication of false election returns, and the holding forth of false views of results after they were well ascertain- edto be otherwise. We allude particularly to one of the principal papers in this city,called the Couri- er & Enquirer, which has heretofere enjoyed, in some quarters at least, a reputation for trothful- ness in all its statements—for some principle in its representations of public affairs. Look, however, at the conduct of that journal in relation to the results of the election in this State, during the last week! Fortwo days, in opposition to every account received—in opposition to every reasonable opinion, it persisted in misrepresenting the election returns and the election results in thir State, and all, as is believed, for some unworthy and paltry purpose of betting and gambling. I: would, indeed, be quite farcical to suppose, for « moment, that it was actuated in this conduct by any just and honorable motives. We understand that this disreputable conduct{on the partjof the Cou- rier, has excited a great deal of indignant feeling in certain quarters, and we should not be at all sur- prised to see some distinct development of public opinion on this matter in the course of a few days. With regard to the other journals, we have not much to say. The Tribwne has been generally pretty fair, but we believe we have succeeded in the columns of the New York Herald, in giving a «nore accurate, comprehensive, and truthful repre- sentation of political affairs and of election results than any other journalist in this country. A recur- rence to our past career, and to some of our arti- cles will prove this beyond the possibility of a doubt. After the result of the Maryland State election was] known, we published an article on that subject, the principal portion of which we find circulating in the western papers as follows:— Te Cany. ‘The New York Herald (neutral) winds up @ most able and interesting article upon the subject of the late “Maryland election—its analysis and philoso- phy”—as follows:— “Thus we have presented a fair analysis of the recent election in Maryland. We have shown that the Whigs have lost ground greatly there—that when they tal about “fraud” they are only dlisgracing their country and strewing arguments against the success of republi- canism into the hands of monarchists in Eurupe—that the disastrous result has been produced by their own folly—that they are on the verge of destruction— and that they have little time left to freek salvation from an ignominious defeat in November next. We have shown that even in Maine and Mary: land, although the aggregate vote at the recent elections Was large compared with that of the previous year, yet that, according to ail reasonable calculations, there are a number of persons Who did not vote at all, and that the same is the case in other States—and that thus there is a chance lefpto the Whigs, ifthey know how to avail them- selves otit But we do say that in thestate of Penneyl- vania and in the State of New York, the peregrination® of Mr. Webster in the one, and of Cassius M. Clay in the other, endanger them both. A more fatal and ‘suicidal policy was he dongy) ted than the pe mitting the mission of such a Marplot as Cassius M. Clay to win over the abo. litionists. Let the Whigs endeavor to avert the danger thus threatened. Let them, by personal and earnest appli. cation, seek to gain over the neutral masses, Dut let them have no more mass meetings —no more celebrations, ‘There is still some chance remuining. In all this admoni, tion to Sate ‘J warning of danger, we are supported by “Trasny”—Not So!—One of the papers calls the Polk and Clay ballads “trashy,” and aseerts that they are not poetry. Wee are of quite a differ- ent opinion. These ballads—Polk, Clay, and ‘na- tives,” comprise the true, original elements of the American school of poetry; and although there may be some queer expressions—some quaint allu- sions in them, still they are as good as the original elements of the Hebrew, the Greek, the Roman, the French, or the English poetic literature. Let any critic who explores the rude materials which remain of the first poetic efforts of the ancient world, compare them with these ballads, and he will at once admit that they are all much on a par in point of elevated sentiment— good sense—vulgarity—beauty—and all other characteristics. These ballads in truth fur- aish the materials on which seme great poetic genius, who may rise up hereafter, will erect a mighty and immortal work. The rude rhymes and uncouth verses sung in all the languages of Europe in the heroic era of the Crusades, came atterwards to be wrought up into one of the greatest poemsever conceived by the mind of man—the “Jerusalem Delivered” of Dante. These small newspaper critica and poetasters have not intellect enough to understand the na- ture, character and value of the fragments of mind that are floating around them. Tus Late Dr. Forry.—In the death of Dr. Samuel Forry, the medical profession of this country has sustained avery considerable loss. He wasa man of remarkable industry, sound judg- ment, and scientific attainments. He was one of the very few useful and educated medical writers in this country. His work on the ‘ Climate of the United States” is an invaluable acquisition to me- dical literature in general, and had earned for him a high reputation in Europe. In private life, Dr. Forty was the most amiable and most modest of. men.3*His mawnerghad the artleesjsimplicity of a child. He served for some time in Florida as sur- geon to the army, and suflered much from the di- seases of that region. Excessive mental applica- tion made serious inroads on a constitution already somewhat shattered, and on Saturday last, at peace with Ged and man—as we have all reason to believe—he terminated his useful life at the early age of thirty-three years. It is proposed to erect a monument to his memory in Greenwood cemetery, but thé work to which we have alluded will long endure, the best monument of his patient research--his unwearied industry—his accurate knowledge—and his philosophical acumen. Dr. Pise’s Lecture vast RvENING.—D?. Pise Mr. Clay hi and by such men as John Speed Smit : ‘ whe en Kentucky is in danger. Peo ae delivered a very interesting lecture at St. Peter’s vo does Mr. 10 do many honest and sensible men.— | last evening. It was introductory to a course of lectures on the chief points of controversy between the Catholic and Protestant churches. Last eyen- ing the Doctor took up the objections urged by the “natives” against the extension of the rights and privileges of American citizenship to the members of the Catholic Church. He discussed the subject with greatmoderation and ability. We have a {ull report of the lecture, and will give it to-morrow. ay But so do not the foolish whig leaders and orators, and so does not Cassius M. Clay, w! oe iy, who seems to have more sail It will be seen from this that the"whigs of Mary- land were at once awakened by our calm and im- partial statement of the truth, and took measures in time to secure their State, but the results in Pennsylvania and New York have discovered most clearly that all our views a yarni ' nd warnings w correct to the very letter. phy es CRLepRaTING THEIR versary of the ex; was celebrated Bept. last, oats rtp mane 30th anni- 1 Sponiards from Mexico,’ hroughout the Republic on the Lith of 4 ERN Misstseeprt ere has con oie ble storm ing Reighborhoodot In dence. lany killed ond wounded, and much pro troyed.

Howe, arrived yesterday from the River Gambia, Africa. She sailed thence Oct. 13, and by her we have received the Monorvia Luminary and the Sierra Leone Watchman to the latesi There seems tu uve boom a waret Bissao,botwoan, the Portuguese and natives. The Imogene, Capt. Williams, had been chartered by the Portuguese government at Bissao, to go to the Gambia for aid. The difficulty was caused, it was said, by the death of a native by a Portuguese soldier. The blacks had attacked the place and partly plundered When the I. sailed the merchants were removing their property to the vessels. Two men-of-war, and other aid, had gone from Gambia to Bissao or Bazal. This difficulty had occurred on the coast at the port of Bazal, a Portuguese station, between the soldiers and some negroes in its vicinity. The Portuguese were attacked in force by the negroes, and their town and fort (Bazal) was carried by storm. The garrison consisted of a small number oftroops. The fortress was in a perfect state of de- lapidation, having been in ruins for yeara; the consequence was that the Portuguese made but lit_ tle resistance, and were driven out of the town and fort, when they retired to a small island near at hand in the bay, where they remained in com- parative safety,the negroes not having suitable boats to attack them. In the mean time, the Portuguese commandant had dispatched messengers for aid to Sierra Leone and Goree. Uponintelligence reach- ing those stations of the disasters at Bazal, the British man of war Alert, from Sierra Leone, and a French man of war brig from Goree, was dis- patched instanter to the relief of the Portuguese settlement. Bazal lies about half way from Gambia and Sierra Leone. It is old slave station, and of but little importance ; its trade having diminished much for the last twenty years. Several Spanish slavers had been captured and condemned. In the Frances Lord came passengers, the Rev. H. Hazehurst, and the Rev. J. Smith, of the Epis- copal Mission ; Mesars. Don Manuel Fernandes, and Mathew Freeman, (colored) who was sent out some time since by the Board of the American Colonization Society. Capt. Howe reports the coast as being generally very sickly. Bis te beware From Maraca anv GreraLtar.—The sehr. Isaac Franklin, arrived yesterday in forty days from Ma- Inga, und thirty-four from Gibraltar. The political state of Spain, as understood at Malaga, was quiet; business improving; fruit and wines dear; freight was offering but slowly. A United States corvette touched at Malaga, bound up the Mediterranean. The Isaac Franklin lay three daysat the Rock, home bound ; several Americans in port; no ship of war. There was a party working at the wreck of the United States steamer Missouri; but slender hopes were entertained of gettingher up; the weather be- ing boisterous, they could not communicate with any facility either with the shore or shipping. Rio Granpk.—The brig Motto, Captain Forbes, forty-eight days from Rio Grande, arrived yester- day. Capt. Forbes states that the province was un. usually quiet—that there had not been any disturb- ance of late—only a small body of troops at Porto Alegree, (the provincial capitol)—two imperial steamers and ore brig of war in the river. Hides high and freights low. Brig Argo, of Baltimore, leftsame day. Brig Eagle, of Salem, arrived asthe Motto left; no other American vessels in port. Nothing important from the Rio de la Plata. The war and blockade of Monte Video continued. Re- markably fine weather on the passage home. TueatTricaLs—Reavival or THE LeGiTiMaTE Daa- ma.—Mr. Anderson commences an engagement at the Park Theatre this evening in the character of Hamlet. He will be assisted by Mrs. Sloman. If the Park management could only pay a little more attention to the details of the theatre, it is very probable that some revival of the legitimate drama, now that the election is over, might be effected at thistime. There is a very strong disposition just now in the public mind to patronize any refined amusement, and to retrieve the losses sustained in civilization and refinement during the late contest. Mr. Anderson made a very good impression during his last engagement. He was, it is true, extrava- gantly bepuffed and bespattered, which injured more than benefitted him. Now, however, he has an opportunity to gain the favor of the judicious and intelligent critics. Dr. Larpner’s Lecrures on Sciznce.—At a very auspicious time Dr. Lardner commences his lectures on Science. He has selected a wide, fertile, and most attractive field, and we cannot doubt that now that the excitement and tumult of the canvass is over, he will, as usual, have great crowds of auditors. ‘The Doctor gives his first lec- ture this evening at Palmo’s Theatre. To listen to one of these instructive and entertaining discourses will be like the return of a beautiful spring day to the mind, after having passed through the gloom of a tempestuous night. Great Ten Mitx Trotting Maton over Cen- tTREVILLE Course, Lona Istanp.—There is to be one of the most interesting trots of the season to come off over the above track to-morrow, and when it is borne in mind what was dene by some of the same animals on a recent similar match, it no doubt will excite considerable attention. On the occasion alluded to, it was done in 29 minutes, 59 seconds, and it is now generally thought that it will be performed instill less time. Miss Fortune will, no doubt, give a better account of herself on this, than on the previous occasion, as she lost her chance by a mistake of her driver, who thought he was only entering upon his ninth mile when he was on his tenth, and he consequently made no push for it until it was too late, and then only lost by a length or two. Arrairs IN Canava.— According to the Montreal Herald of the 7th instant, the Provincial Parlia- ment will meet in Montreal on the 28th instant. This body will be composed of eighty-four mem- bers, of whom seventy-eight are already elected. Of these 44 are conservatives, 21 radicals, and 11 of doubtfal position. Ancrent.—The oldest meeting house, says the Salem Observer, now standing in New England, and pro- bably in the United States, is the Rev, Mr. Ric! "6 in Hingham—being erected in 1680—164 years ago. on Divine Service of the of the Free Church of St, Jude's, in the Church of the University, Washington Square. The Congregation of the Free Church of St. Jude’s, under the pastoral care of the Rev. Dr. Potts, tormerly had their place of worship in -Du- ane street, but having disposed of their building for other purposes, they at present assemble iu the large room or chapel of the above building, until such time as their new church, now in the course of erection, inthe Fifth avenue, is completed. The room where they at present assemble is but of limit- ed dimensions, and appears to be used at other times as a lecture room in connection with the University. It is a plainly furnished room, some- what in the form of a semicircle, with six rows of seats round the circular part, capable of seating about two hundred persons; in front of which there is a slightly raised platform, on which is placed a small reading desk ; opposite in the upper circle of the seats, is a small organ, at which a youhg lady presided, and played with considerable taste and judgment, vocally assisted by one or two others. The attendance on the occasion was but limited, the room not being more than two thirds filled; but those that were present appeared to have’come for the more holy purpose of devo- tion than to display their last new purchase, whe- ther a shawl, dress, or hat; except, indeed one lady near us, who kept herself very busy disen- tangling the fringe of a very handsome silk shaw] during the whole of the service. At the time ap- pointed for the commencement of the service, half past ten o’clock, the Rev. gentleman came from behind a small green curtain, hung in one corner of the room, and proceed with the beautiful ritual of the Protestant Episcopal Church. He is of rather dark complexion, tall, slight frame, and appeared to be somewhat of a delicate constitu- tion; his voice not very powerful, rather slow, sweet, and clear; his whole carriage appeared ex- tremely devout, and he entered with Leart and soul into the feelings of the different parts of the ser- vice as he proceeded, displaying a mind of consi- derable erudition. The pealnis of the day were the 50th, 5ist, and 52d; the lessous the Ist chapter of Proverbs, and the 9th chapter of John. These were succeeded by the 16th psalm im the collec- tion, commencing aoe Jacob’s God defend us save us in distress ;” which wag sung with very good taste by the lady who presided at the organ, the whcle of the con- gregation joining her. The epistle was Philipians lll, 27; the Gospel St. Matthewlaxii. 15. The’ Rev. gentleman proceeded to say that it would be gratil ving to the members of the congre- gation to hear that the new church which was in the course of erection for them, was in such a state at the present time that he hoped that it would be ready fer their reception between the 5th and 15th of the ensuing month. It was with painful sur- prise that he observed the conduct of his little flock in not attending to their religious duties in this place. It was true, that it was not a splendid or gorgeous temple, nor had they soft cushions to sit upon; they were a great deal too fastidious onsuch matters; it showed a great want on thei ts of that grace which was necessary for their salvation. It was a painfulsense of duty that compelled him to mention this subject. He did not observe those present to whom these remarks mest particularly referred, but hoped they would be informed of his remarks. He begged they would not be unmind- fal of the necessity there was for their assembling together—their present good and future happiness depended on it. The evening service in that place was still more neglected; he begged to press on all his hearers the necessity there existed for amore re- gular attendance, for if he,as their pastor, could be of any service to them, they must attend to his minis- try. If they were inclined to change, they had better go at once in the name of the Lord and settle at once under some other minister, if he could not.do themany good. The habit of going first to one place and then to another, tended to make them unsettled, and would tend to their in- jury both here and hereafter. He repeated his regret, that a sense of his duty had compelled him to make these remarks. The beautiful ymn of “ Blessed is the tie that binds Our hearts in Christian love,” was sung in an equally pleasing manner as the pre- vious. The reverend gentleman then proceeded to ob- serve, that it might be to their benefit to draw their attention to the late canonical convention re- cently heldin thiscity. At these conventions, it was usual to call upon the senior Bishop for a pas- toral add. which was usually laid before the Church of Bishops, and afterwards before the lower house, which consisted of clergymen and lay members of the different churches. If the pastoral letter passed both these boards, it was published, and was read once in all the churches. He propoged on this occasion to read it, and ashe proceeded, to make a few comments on different parts. He proceeded tounfold a news- paper, and said, that he did not know the reason the address had not been printed in the usual pamph let form, for the use of the clergy, but having heard that the same had been read from a newspaper in the church of the Ascension on the previous Sab- bath, there was no harm in his doing likewise.— The Rev. gentleman then proceeded to read the document referred to, and made a few remarke, mostly of a nature to draw the attention of his hear- ers to particular points. As this pastoral letter ap- peared in our paper of the first instant, also in the weekly Herald of the same week, we see there is no occasion to repeat it on the present occasion.— The Rev. gentleman, in conclusion, observed that there had been some objection made to the last paragraph in this address, which he would again read to them, which he did as follows:— Toconclude. The members of our communion in all places of our extensive country, have cause for fervent ratitude to the Great Head of the Church in heaven, that by the mighty power of His holy spirit the present Convention of a portion of His Churah here on earth, hath been overruled for good, has concluded in great peace, especially in that He’ hath inclined the hearts of he members thereof to elect, with great unanimity, Mis- sionary Bishops for Arkansas and other territories of the United States, and who are to exercise supervision over our se A aout. and also ie Late er Bishops . read al 5 lands, Jerus Chrat curlers! ee EMM Now, the objection to this statement was, that it was not altogether correct as regarded the una- nimity which prevailed at this convention, but ta- king it on the whole it was perfectly correct. Never did a convention separate in greater una- nimity. The questions of the greatest importance that were discussed had elicited, it was true, a very ethos debate, and many points were overruled,to the great benefit ot the church. The proof of the principles of that convention was ably set forth in that letter which was well worth their most serious perusal and coneideration. It was published by the unanimous consent of the whole house of Bishops, as well as that of the lower house, consisting of ministers and lay members. What &reater evidence could there be of the unanimity which prevailed throughout the whole body ? _ A brief prayer closed the service of the morning. 7 8 FasnronaBLe Dancina.—Mons. De Korpony opens his Academy in Park Place, this day, for instruc. tion in all the most fashionable dances known at the present time.

Thie small room was crowded to excess last evening by a very fashionable congregation, who flocked forward to hear the discourse delivered by Bishop Cuasz, of Illinois, who has come to this city on @ mission to proeure funds tor the Jubilee College, in that State, with a view to de- fray the expenses of twelve scholarships, to esta- blish Missionaries for the Episcopalian Church. The room is a small apartment, capable of contain- ing some four or five hundred persons, In the front is a pulpit, beside which is fixed a small organ, which was presided over by & lady, who performed with excellent taste and execution. The services of the evening were commenced in the French language by the Reverend gentleman who presides over the congregation. The Bishop is a venerable looking gentleman fof about eighty years of age, and a very veteran in the cause of the Episcopal faith. His style of address is simple but impressive, and he is altogether a fine specimen of the good and earnest clergyman. He took his text from the 6th chapter of Paul’s Epistle to the Corinthians. * Bear youone another's burdens; and so fulfil the law of Christ. han My brethren the law of Christ is the law of Love. Itisa principle that pervaded his whole spiritual bedy. This principle applies also to the human body, which it should govern for the general good. The head communicates all the goodness to the human frame, to support all the members, and we act in ebedience to this law. So in a spiritual sense we act in obedience to God’s word. The mouth of this body speaks and declares the law of God, which we are bound to obey. What would you think of that part of your frame that would not act in obedience with your will? A paralysis would ensue and would alarm you—and you should be alarmed. The gi | declares “bear you one another’s burdens.” You can conceive the dangerous situation then occasioned from this paralysis in the body, and why notas relates to the soul? Behold the rich man! who refuses to do what God hascommanded him. He doesnot with to be instrumental in creating any of the comforts of the human family, and loves his money more than God. Oh! what a death he dies!—and the spiritual body which is not imbued with the spirit of God is equally degraded. Tle church is bound together by an indissoluble chein of love—and so it should be with nations in regard to each other— as wellas with communities avd part of nations as regards each other. The good are then bound to assist the poor—and I maintain that these United States being bound together in a national point of view, are beund to aid and assist each other—the eastern to assist the western—the north to assist the south—all are bound to reciprocate the good works of love and charity. I on then, my friends, in behalf of the Episcopalian Church, and have the evidence of a loaiite of nearly halt a Cre 4 to sustain me in what I am about to state. The venerable Divine here gave a detailed statement of his history and connection with the church, commencing in 1797, being the date. of his first connexion with the Church as one of ita missiona- ties. THis manifold labors,firet through the western art of the State of New York, next in Michigan, hio, and lastly in Illinois, where he founded the Jubilee College—the difficulties and perils that beset him during hislong mission—and went on to say that the idea of a missionary for the establish- ment of the Episcopalian faith, was, when firet broached, quite unpopular; but eventually had suc ceeded through the divine influence. it was ne- cessary for them to educate their own ministers and to establish their own colleges for that pur- pose. England had given their generous aid to establish the Kenyon College, which was an ornament to their Church; and America would. not hesitate to afford similar relief. The soil of {Illinois surpassed in richness and beauty of scenery any part of the United States, and every facility ought be afforded to ad- vance the cause of religion in the Episcopalian Church. Amid the conflict between the different religious sects that now raged in the West, the Episcopal was the only form of worship which was destined to preserve the religion of Christ— it may be called the conservation amid the confusion and religious contortions that every where prevailed. The serpent was coiled up in the hidden moss that stalked through the land, and they were bound to aid in crushing it. Without means, the last would prove a difficultone. He next gave a brief account of the Jubilee College, having over one hundred students, in which there are now five candidates for orders. He called on them to send their own servants to do their own work and to pay them. He wished they would let him talk about these mattersin Triaity Church, or at St. John’s. (Lavghter.) He did not come to New York to oppose any creed, but to do the good work, and he was obliged to come to the smal! room in which he addressed them, as he would not be allowed to talk to them from Trinity or St. John’s. Let them but give him the means in New York of establishing twelve scholar- ships at Jubilee College, of $100 a year each, and his mission would be perfected—this was no more than twelve needles in a haystack—(Laughter)— and if they did not aid them in establishing reli- gion in the western country, they would coine by and by and sweep them with the besom of de- struction. New York was bound to advance the tequired aid ; it had but one object sui generis, and every one was bound to assist in the good work, and God would bless them for their love and de- votion to the cause of thegospel. After the Bishop concluded, a subscription was collected, when the congregation separated. The services for the evening were concluded in the French language by the Rev. gentleman who presides over the con- regation. City Intellig Police Department.—Sunpay.— Crim Con, Lan- ceny, &c. &c.—A short time since John S. Halcott, who is an expiant and resides at Greenbush in this State, received icto his confidence Archer &.

Politics and Music--Daniel Webster and Ole Bull— Dear Siz To necessity of redemption of promise, must you attribute this intrusion. News there is none to communicate—and how to make up even half a stick, 1 scarcely know. The democrats having, by the drowsiness of the Millerites, and other acci- dents, got, as they suppose, into the seventh hea- ven, scarcely know how to behave themselves in such polished society; while the whigs on the other hand, seem as much astray among the ca- naille.

Every thing seemed to conspire against him. Daniel Webster and Rufus Choate clubbed together, and gave a rival entertainment at Faneuil Hall, which was rather »wmerouc!y attended, ow- ing to the fact of the admivsion beiug free gratis for nothing, and his playing on the political viviin anew piece, called ‘ Down with the Irish.” The members of the orchestra either could, er would, not play; actuated, as some folks say, by the work- ings of an ex-leader, and his faction ; but, notwith- standing all those oppo tions, his reception was triamphant. Never have I listened to auch music, nor do I think it within human power to uce such harmony. His “ Solitude of the Prairie,” surpassed all expectation, and has left the oldest musicians in a state of bewilderment, from which it will take them some days to recover. There were upwards of one thousand persons listening to him, comprising the firet families within the cit and its vicinity. Daniel Webster’s new composi- tion, called ‘‘ Down with the Irish and Foreigners,” has also given great pleasure, was received with tremendous applause. Both these artists were mighty in their way.

To rug Eprror or ta New York Heraup— Ste :—I propose to trouble you with the perfor- mance of what I conceive an act of benevolence, but one for which I ean promise you no other re- ward than that which yourjown mind can furnish by the contemplation of an effort for the relief of anumber of fallen fellow-countrymen, to which you will give assistance by the publication of thi ‘and some other short communications, which will be presented to you in the columns of fous journal. It ts a matter well known to the public, that of the American citizens, who were captured by the Britiah forces in Canada, in 1838, a considerable number were condemned for their participation in the civil commotions in those provinces, and tran- qported, to Van Dieman’s Land. Thirty-nine of those unfortunate men (who have been spared by death,) have been pardoned by Her Majesty’s Go- vernment; and ferty-two, according to authentic information, are still detained as convicts, under the original sentence of transportation for life. Something of the character of the remaining forty- two captives may be understood by the following copy of a letter recently received by me :— “Post Orrice, Wratminsten. Vr., ber 5, 1844. } “Gen. Sutnentanp—Dear Sir :—From the New York Express, I learn that you are interesting yourself in be- halfofthe American prisoners at Van Dieman’s Land.

The list ofthe names of those who have received pardons has also been published in such a defective man- ner as to leave the friends of the captives in an uncertain- ty as tothe condition of the unfortunate men, in whose fate they are interested, which induces me to request the ublication of the annexed cificial statement for their in- mation and satisfaction.
