tire and to benefit trade—and to be guided by men engaged in business—thaa all the other legislation on the subject for the last fifty years. Our prospecte, therefore, we gladly again assert, are good, and we desire all men of business to rely Upon it, that during the next five, six, or seven years, they may make fortuaes with ease and com- fort, if they only know how tovavail themselves of the elements around them. The despondeucy only exists amongst disappointed office-seekers and those who are too ignorant to understand their po- sition, and too lazy to go to work and eara an honest living. ; Tue Late Wuic Party.—The fragments of the late Whig party seem to be floating about in all di- rections. In this city a number of the Whig pa- pers, such as the Courier & Enquirer, the Express, and the American, have gone over, body, soul and breeches, to the “ Natives.” There are, however, a large proportion of the Whig forces in this city, and in the State, who have determined to stand back—to keep aloof—and to look on. Horace Greeley and his clique will not touch the “Natives” at present, but disapprove of all their doings ; and we have no doubt, with a remnant of Israel, will keep aloof for come time to come. This i 180 the policy at present of Thurlow Weed, who dis- approves entirely of the ‘* Native” movement, and very significantly hints that a new party, making one of its chief articles a total repeal of the natu- ralization laws, and @ persecutiom eé +s faraigners” for opinion’s sake, reminds him of the “alien and sedition” movement of the * old federals,” which kept them out of power for fifteen or twenty years. In Boston, Mr. Webster and his clique have gone over to the “Natives,” however, with a rush like the falls of Niagara. The truth is that many of the Whig leaders and Whig journals appear by the defeat they have sustained to have lost all their senses. hey find themselves in a minority, and not satisfied with it, they are going to work, split- ting wp even that minority so as to make it still smaller. They are certainly very hard to please. All these exhibitions will only tend to give greater strength and power to “ Young Hickory” and his democracy. Stas Wricur is now Governor of the State, and the question comes up, will he be called to the Cabinet of Mr. Polk? When General Jackson was elected President, Mr. Van Buren was in the same position as Mr. Wright, and was transferred to Washington to fill the office of Secretary of State now occupied by John C. Calhoun. A great many think that Silas Wright should be called to the same post, but we rather think he will remain Governor of this State for some time to come, and willno doubt be one of the great canditates for the succession in 1848, and, besides, it is not likely that Mr. Calhoun will give up his seat in the Cabi- net without a struggle. It is, therefore, probable that the war for the succession will be waged be- tween Mr. Calhoun and Silas Wright, and that the respective adherents will show themselves in the next Congress. NEW YORK HERALD. ‘New York, Wednesday, November 13, 1844. lS ‘Wne Prospect Before Us—The Grand Indus- trial Movement Beginning. We observe that several of the leading journals attached to thé waning fortanes of Mr. Clay in the recent elections, express great despondency on the present prospect of business and commercial af- fairs generaily, and begin to give particular in- stances of industrial enterprises abandoned, and speculations nipped in the bud, in consequence of the defeat of the political party to which they were attached. We are perfectly satisfied, that this melancholy view of things which we observe is taken by the Tribwne ot New York, the National Intelligencer of Washington, aod some of the other papers throughout the country, is entirely without foundation, in fact, and will be in the course of a very few months swept away entirely trom the public mind, by the grand industrial move- ment of the age, which is beginning to show itself to us particularly in this city, and at other prominent points throughout the country. This isa remarkable—an original—a wondertul counuy. Now that the recent extraordinary po- \itical contest is over, and has been determined, we expect, and we are, indeed, already beginning to see, movements in all the great comeerna of life starting up in every quarter, affecting the progress of rehgion—philosophy—literature—even music— theatricals—manners—society—and every thing of which the great mystery of human life is compo- sed. But the foundation of all this intellectual, imaginative, poetic, and religious movement, is uadoubtedly in the progress of wealth, the growth of industry, or, in the words of the material philo- sophers, in the elements ot production, distribution and consumption. Piety likes pudding, and philoso- phy first rate roast beef. ‘These are the material and firm foundations of the progress of society, in all its diversified interests. And here the question natu- rally comes up—where are we so far as regards the grand industrial movementof the United States at the present moment, and into what position have the recent elections, and the recent changes, and the egitations of years past, placed us? Let us re- ply by an appeal to figures and to facts, that cannot lie By a reference to our money articles about these times, it will be seen that one of the principal forces in all industrial movements in this country is the banking interest, composed of several hun dred State banks, scattered over the conntry, and situated in all the great points of commerce and trade. This great interest is the lever that moves all the others—that sets the whole machinery of trade, production, and wealth in motion; and if managed and conducted with judgment and skill, jeads to wealth and prosperity; butif urged on with improper speed, leads to disasters, revulsions, and bankruptcies, such as we have seen of late years Now, as the recent election has finally settled the question of a National bank, the distribution of the land revenues, and various other financial and domestic questions, leaving us to make the most of our present position and present elements, as they are now organized, it may be asked what is the prospect which we may reasonably expect? {n opposition to the opinions promulgated by the desponding philosophers of the day, we believe that trade and industry of ali kinds in this country never had a better prospect than at this particular moment. It will be perceived that the banks in this country stand at this moment in precisely or very nearly the same attitude in which they stood in 1830—fourteen years ago. Taking into consideration the vast increase in our population—and our powers of production— in improvements of all kinds, it may be said that we stand in a better position than we did at that period. It will be seen, therefore, that the recent movement of the banks in this city and in Boston, to commence their generating progress in the ap- proaching financial period of six or seven years, has begun, and that it will be now prosecuted for several years to come, giving increased energy to trade, gradually improving values, and augmenting prices, until, perhaps, if ic is not properly managed by the banking interests, we will have a similar season of disaster and revulsion in six or seven years from this date, as we had six or seven years ago. But there can be no doubt that our prospects are bright just now, aad that the absence of any rivalry from the creation of a national banking institution, is an element in favor of the healthful prosperity of the coming period, if it be properly understood and properly managed by the financiers and men of business of the present day, who have the control of these elements. In all the industrial and commercial movements taking place for some years to come, it is very evi- dent that the banking interest, either in detail or in the aggregate, throughout the Unired States, will have a greater power and a greater influence, than the legislation of Congress, or that of any of the States. It would be well, therefore, for the newspa- per press, and particularly the independent portion of it, to watch the movements of the banking in- terests, for if they be permitted to create the vast and sudden expansions which they did between 1830 and 1836, we will soon be obliged to go over the same disastrous ground from which we have but recently emerged. It will be the purpose of this journal to watch “ the signs of the times,’ in relation to all banking movements, aad to give such goed advice, and exhibit such sound doctrine, as the experience of the last twenty years has evolved and developed to the world. We believe we can with truth say, that we have done more than any other journal in this country, for the right understanding of the elements and principles of modern finance, in connection with trade and manufactures; and we are determined to followin the same course hereafter, and to watch every sympton and every movement connected with this subject. We are perfectly satisfied, therefore, that instead of any despgndency arising in the minda of busi- nees and commercial men from the result of the recent political campaiga, that there is every reason to be gratified thatit has terminated in such a way With proper management on the part of all banks scattered over the country, we will see a vigorous and healthy trade rapidly grow up. We will see prices and values increase slowly, as trade and the banking interest increase, and with all those great Errects or THE Recent ExxcTion IN THIS Srate.—The result of the recent election in this State will be quite curious. Silas Wright has been elected Governor by 10,000 or 12,000 majority, nearly double the majority of Mr. Polk, thereby showing that the special Van Buren men opposed the latter, and probably, also, all the Bryant, anti- Texas clique ; and that had it not heen for the ge- neral movement in favor of the democracy, Mr. Clay would have been elected. Other curious ef- fects will, no doubt, show themselves in the ap proaching sessions of the Legislature. Already there are symptoms of a strong war breaking out between the young democracy and the old hunkers —the former represented by the Albany Atlas, and the latter by the Albany Argus. We should not be at all surprised if the young democracy would be tiumphant. The Argus has, for the last twenty or five-and-twenty years, with the exception of the brief period of the whig régime, enjoyed the spoils of office. It is, therefore, quite time for the old veteran to jeave the field to a younger cotemporary, and we don’t see why the Atlas should not have a share of the spoils, and be elected State printer during the next session of the Legislature. Art rt Yat!—Old Noah is still dabbling in politics in one of the penny papers. He states in one of his well known paragraphs that Poetmaster Graham has gone, or is going to Tennessee to meet Mr. Polk at Columbia, and make arrangements for retaining his office afterthe 4th of March next. We doubt very much whether Mr. Postmaster Graham can reach Mr. Polk in Tennessee before one Major Noah writesa letter to him asking for some diplo- matic mission abroad, and declaring that it was owing to his exertions that Mr. Polk gotthe State of New York. We think the one thing as likely as the other. But according to all accounts, the President elect is a very prudent and rather im- practicable man for the office beggars. We have heard it said that all those political missionaries, mendicants and crusaders, who in their peregrina- tions last summer waited on Mr. Polk at his resi- dence, never could get him to open his mouth on political matters. He would talk of science—he would talk of religion—he would talk of philoso- phy—he would talk of cotton—ke would talk even of Cuba tobacco—but not a word onthe matters nearest the heart of the politicians This being the case, we begin to think that Mr. Polk isa pretty shrewd sort of man, and will manage his pigs and poultry with some degree of discretion and profit. ‘Tue Avouirion Vorx.—It is now stated that the abolitionists iu this State, particularly in the west- ern counties, have polled a much larger vote than ever before, and that it will reach nearly 20,000. This is precisely what we predicted, when we ob- served the furious attacks of the whigs on Birney and the abolitionists, and was doubtless one of the main causes of Mr. Clay’s defeat. Mustcat.

There is not a single feature im the horizon that would seem to mar this pleasant prospect, unless, indeed, the possibility of mis- management on the part of the State Banks, or from the attempts of chose sharks who get up rot- ten institutions merely to deceive the public, and by which public confidence inthe banking system itself is shaken. In England a new feature har been introduced into the banking system, by which weekly developments are made of the state of the affairs of the institutions. In this city and in this State a partial effort has succeeded in giving publicity to the banking movements by quarterly returns. But the great conservative prineiple of these institutions, of the system and of all the ge- neral interest that depend upon it, and which would prevent a recurrence of the disastersof 1887, would be for the next legislature of New York to make it noerative on every bank to publish its returns weekly in the pablic journals; and if all the banke ress ¥ throughout!

Og We learn from Captain Mason of the brig Jonn Enders, arrived from St. Catherines, that all kinds of business was very dull, and produce very searce. Goods were being shipped from Rio Janei- ro to St. Catherines less than they could ship them trom the United States. No political news worth noting—every thing was quiet. Exraesses, &c.—We were often indebted, in the late elections, to Adams & Co. and J. W. Sul livan, for the latest papers containing returns.

Opp Frtiow’s Cexesration.—-The weather proved decidedly unfavorable for the parade and procession of this order. Nevertheless, some ten Lodges—six of Brooklyn and four of New York— presented themselves and formed in Atlanticstreet, Brooklyn, at about half past eleven. They were ac- companied by two excellent bands of music. The Lodges generally made quite an interesting and somewhat an imposing appearance. The officers and members were dressed with their various in- signias, ana as they passed through the strects of Brooklyn, they attracted much attention from the citizens. Each Lodge had its appropriate regalia. The procession started from Atlantic street about noon, and although the weather was most unfavor- able for such exhibitions and ceremonies, yet the procession was accompanied by several hundreds of citizens, some in carriages, some a mheval, and @ greater number on foot The Lodges proceeded to Greenwood Cemetery for the purpoze of consecrating a portion of ground which had been recently purchased by the Odd Fellows of Brooklyn. Upon arriving upon the ground, the Lodges were formed in a circle, when the ceremony was open- ed with prayer by the Rev. Mr. . After this gentleman had concluded, the Hon D. P. Bar- nard addressed the audience for one hour ; he en- tered into the history of the institution, of the first Lodges in this State, defined the principal objects of the order, related, and feelingly commented up- on their numerous works of charity ; many of bie remarks were addreesed to the spectators, showing them the great benefits which pay accrue to all, who may become members of the fraternity. From the respectful attention manifested by the audi- ence in general, to the remarks of the honorable goatee, it is quite probable that many indivi jualsleft the ground with a resolution to become an Odd Fellow. . The weather continuing stormy, there was rot so much order and decorum on the return march us might have been wished for. This was a natura! consequence ; however, all parties ared to be ratified, and returned orderly to t! severa! emes. It is probable that the ten Lodges may have mustered on the ground some five hundred men, exclusive of the two bands of music. From Ororto.—By the arrival of the Mary Ave- til, from Oporto, we have intelligence to the Ist of October. It appears that the political state of Portugal is about to experience another change. Much excite- ment existed throughout the kingdom. The Liberals had recently made several demon strations in different parts of the kingdom; they were numerous, and apparently confident of car- rying all before them. The government had mani- fested, in several important instances, an entire want of confidence in their capacity of putting down, or even making anything like a succeastul resistance against the revolutionists. They (the revolutionists) demanded not only the constitution of 1820, (Don Pedro’s) but also many democratical changes in the administration. At the time of the sailing of the Mary Averil, intelligence was daily expected from Lisbon of the commencerhent of the drama, as the new party were in great force there, and, indeed, apparently, throughout the coun- try. No opposition appeared to be contemplated by the government of Oporto and the neighboring country ; the natural consequences of such a state of things was, that merchants were anxious to ship off their property as fast as possible, there not being asufficient number of vesselsin port. Orders had been despatched by the British steamer to several of the German ports, to send out vessels instanter to load. Many families were embarking, with all their moveable property, for England and France. This was also much the case in Lisbon. The packets and other veesels were crowded with Portuguese and their effects, who were not dispo- sed to risk the consequences of the revolution, which appeared on all sides as inevitable. The Duke de Parmella (well known as Premier at different periods within the last twelve years,) had sent hie family to England in the last steam packet. This vessel touched off Oporto, when it was understood that she had many distinguished individuals on board, who were fleeing their coun- ay in consequence of the critical state of things. The Mary Averill left two American vessels in port—the brigs Effort and Paconi, which were to sail soon for the United States. New Sur J. R. Sxmpy.—The splendid new packet ship John R. Skiddy will be raised upon the sectional floating dock to-day about 1 o’clock. This ship was built at Newburyport, and is of the largest class, and is to take her place in Grinnell, Minturn & Co.’s Liverpool line. County Canvassgrs will hold an adjourned meeting this evening at 5 o’clock.

The day was most uppropi- tious—damp, cold, and misty—any thing but one which would entice parties to come forth to enjoy the sports of the day. ‘The sport was announced to commence at two o’clock, but it was not until near upon three ere the Juges were appointed, and then only one animal showed, Misfortune.

Boston. [Correspondence of the New York Herald.) Boston, Nov. 11, 1844. Trouble with the Mails by the Acadia. We have just heard from Halifax. Annexed is an extract from a letter received in this city this morning, dated at that place, November 4th, which says:— “There is a great stir among us in consequence of the steamship ‘Acadia leaving yesterday without any mai) from here, caused by some difference betwecn the maii otticer and our Governor, who has chartered the Marga- ont Cpu steamer,) this morning, to take them for- ward. We have not heard the particulars of the affair. Theatrical. Parx.—Mr. Anderson had a fine house last night, to see his personation of Claude Melnotte, in Bul- wer’s popular play, ‘‘ The Lady of Lyons.” It was throughout a very chaste and finished performance, discovering a nice perception of the author, and very considerable originality. In genuine feeling, spirit and general effect, it was immeasurably su- perior to Macready’s representation of the same character. Nrso’s.—Mr. John Dunn had an excellent be- nefit at this pleasant little theatre. To-night the performances are for the benefit of Mr. Brougham. The highly successful spectacle of “‘Peter Wilkins” will be repeated, with a great variety of other en- tertainments, including a new piece, written by Mr. Brougham, and ‘‘The Loan of a Lover,” in which Miss Nelson appears. As a delineator of Trish character, Brougham is the only legitimate successor of the lamented Power, and is, withal, a man of varied and distinguished literary attain- ments. He has hosts of triends in this city; and his benefit to-night is sure to be a bumper. Superior Court. Belore a full Bench.

Stanpgr Casz.—There is a Slander case now on trial betore our Superior Court of rare interest, is: which @ young, beautiful, and innocent girl, sweet en’ lovely as the rose, is seeking to punish aman who hi» dar to sully her fair name and fairer character by libellous inventions, said and heard, This is the second suit she has instituted, having gained one,—at least so we are informed. We cannot but admire her heroism and perseverance. The feeling of this community is such ax to preclude our stating such particulars as we have in, possession, and which have been given in evidence before said court. For our self wedo not think it is necessary in order to inform the public mind, in news matters, te descend to vulgarity. If this case had happened in New York the columns of their leading papers would have teemed with the evidence and full particulars; the country papers would have selected from t, and the whole union would have been convulsed, in asmall way, by the interest of the ‘strange developments.” Here, in the west, weare moral, and such customs cannot obtain to any great extent. We may be permitted to state, how- ever, that there are, as wittnesses in this case, Lp many old ladies, all Drought forward by the defendant, who remarked to persons in the anes onan the “‘inter- pesrance of the you: ly, some months ago, testi t she actually had such diminsions as to sas to her moral standing !” The young lady’s counsel, on the other hand, has, as witnesses, cer- tain M. D’s, who state that, in’ such matters “ appear ” are not to be reliedupon! That numerous cases where a lady’s looks do not indicate an “ particular” . Whatever may be the result of this case, we hope ill have the effect in future, of teaching nen to keep their thoughts to themselves.— Cincinnati Bulletin, Nov. 7.
