The proceedings attendant on the celebri tion of the fortieth anniversary of the Hit torical Society, were calculated to excit emotions of the most gratifying and de lighttul character. They discovered that the di: turbing elements which for months past had ag tated the country, and stirred up the angry passio: of men, had indeed been wholly dispersed; an that peace, friendship, patriotism and philosoph are again exercising over the general heart, thei’ benign and humanizing influenee. In the chure! to hear the orator, we saw many distinguished me of all political parties, assembled in perfect harmc ny; and again, around the festive board, w witnessed them in the full enjoyment of social co: verse, and the most friendly and familiar inte course. This was indeed a spectacle of deepe: interest. It presented to all, in the most agreeal manner possible, the evidence of the return + peace and sobriety—that the olive branch had be: extended by both parties—and that those who h recently been engaged in fierce and unprofitab! conflict, were new all ready to unite, and wer: united, in devotion to their duties as men, a Americans, and as patriots. The occasion itself, leaving out of view the ci:- cumstances to which we have just alluded asi. vesting it with peculiar interest, was one of grew importance. We do not know any associatio which is more worthy of general regard than th: Hstorical Seciety ot this State. Its object—: rescue from oblivion the records of the earliee: struggles and triumphs of civilization on this conti neat, and to complete and continue with fullnest and accuracy the annals of this great State—is an: in which every intelligent and patriotic ecit.z+: must cordially sympathize. The celebration, also furnished a very powertul inoeativ. to individu exertion in a gand cause, by reminding all, hov much the well-directed and honorable efforts of + few energetic minds had accomplished. The off spring of only three or four worthy citizens, tm: Society has, in the short space ot forty years, uc complished an amount of labor which would do 1c discredit to the efforts of throe or four generation: instead of one. A vast amount of invaluable ma terials for the completion of the history of this State, and, indeed, of the early settlements on thi: continent, have been collected; and the organizi- tion of the Society has been rendered so perfec: and efficient that its future labors will be still more widely extended,; and prove still more fruitful than heretofore. Ot all the proceedings of the celebration, the oration of Mr. Broadhead was the most interesting and important. A good deal of anxiety had exist- ed relative to the results of the researches and labors of the society’s agent in Europe; and the details furnished by Mr. Brodhead presented many curious and interesting facts, and a considerable quantity of original information relative to the early history of the State, and its first settlement by the Dutch. The agent of the eociety must cer- tainly have employed himself with great diligence and success, and imnproved the valuable opportuni- ties afforded him when in Europe. When the ample materials collected by him are once properly arranged,and reduced to a form in which they may be generally accessible and intelligible, we have no doubt that a very great addition will be dis- covered to have been made to our historical litera- ture. Even the slight and necessarily very desul- tory sketch of his labors, given by the agent of the society in his oration, furnished us with consider- able new and interesting historical information. ‘We gave yesterday an accurate and comprebensive report of this oration, such as none of the other papers attempted, or, indeed, could have given. The proceedings at the dinner were interesting enough of their kind; comprising a good deal of eloquence, wit, literary taste, nonsense, philosophy, and conviuiality. To these, also, we gave a fitting record; but the oration was the principal feature of the occasion. This celebration may properly be regarded as the opening of the new literary and philosophical season. Political excitement has wholly subsided. The wise and the good and the intelligent, who were dragged iato the whirlpool, and in its rapid eddies, lost for a season, with all the rest, their usual moderation and good sexse, have now got back into the placid waters. The hungry office- seekers—the idle lazzaroni who will not dig, and tv beg are not ashamed—uare now the only occu- pants of the lately hot-contested field; and there they shriek, and quarrel, and jabber, like the foul birds of prey that feast upon the mangled bodies ot the slain. But the intelligence, virtue, and pa- triotism of the country, are resuming their awav over the great mass of reypectable citizens. We have no doubt that during the coming winter we shall have the pleasure of recording and aiding many interesting movements in literature and phi losophy The tokens of a great literary revival are numerous and significant. The press teems with valuable works in all departments of hu- man knowledge. The blue and yellow li- terature of the brothels is almost driven out of the field. A taste for the fine arts is daily becoming more general and more re- fined. The science of education is beginning to be regarded as indeed ascience. Our literature and our civilization puton at last some appearances 0} nationality. Intellect and genius begin to receive homage. We look to the future. The public mind is awakiog more generally to the conviction, tha: humanity- has nobler ends to gain than the mere animal enjoyment of the present. Altogether we are encouraged to believe that we see in all thir the dawning of a bright day, in which all the influ- ences that elevate, humanize, and refine the race, will have unopposed and triumphant sway. [n this great literary and philosophical movement, the Historical Society will lead the way in this soirees, or literary rewnions, will concen wate much of the talent and jntelleotual distinction of the city and the State. We shall always en- deavor to give to their social meetings a proper place in our history of the time. And so shall we also treat the proceedings of all the other literary societies. We trust, however, that in the lectures and philosophical entertainments which may be given during the coming season, all the trash which has heretofore been mixed up with them will be carefully excluded. Tue War or THe Seotrons.—The internal trou- bles of the democracy are already beginning to eflervesce long before the advent of the 4th of March next, and the incoming of Mr. Polk. In Washington, in Albany, and particularly in this city, those little newspaper eruptions are beginning to take place which indicate the intensity of the fires beneath, and the character of the internal struggle; which will increase tenfold as the ides of March approach. In this city we have four newepaper organs al- tached to the democracy of the various sec- tiens. The Morning News and Evening Post belong 10 the upper crust formation, and re- present the opinions of those who occupy marble palaces in the neighborhood of Washington Square and Lafayette Place, or any of the fashionable faubourgs up town. The Plebeian and Aurora may be classed as the organs ef the under-crust democracy; for they principally represent the opinions of those who occupy the by-otreets and smoking rooms about Tammany Hall—who do all the work, particularily all the dirty work before and after elections, The upper-crust democracy are those who are always engaged in looking after a certain class ef the spoils of office of an‘elegant and recherche nature, such as ministers abroad— charges des affaires—diplomutic agents—dispatch bearers—and elegant clerkships in Washington ie the varions departments. The under-crust de- mocracy are generally content with less important stations, and are put off with comi.on clerkships— tide-waiters—custom house night-watch—midnight contracts, when they can steal a good deal witheut its being known to the public—inspectorships of pork, or tobacco, or beef, or any other common occupation suitable to their calibre and capacity. These may be called the peculiar characteristics and local distinctions of the two sections of the democracy in New York. And according to their general principles of action they may be expected to range themselves under two grand divisions; the South Carolina democracy led by Mr. Calhoun, ind the New York democracy led by Mr. Van Buren. The tendencies of these rival sections already begin to be developed clearly enough. Already the Morning News has shown symptoms of its tactics, for the purpose of securing the ear and in- fluence of the new administration, The under- crust sectien are not to be regarded as idle on the other hand. The Plebeian speaks s6mmewhat mys- teriously in relation to these points, and seems to be gradually abandoning its old ground of devo- tion to the Van Buren section, perticularly since ve was thrown overboard at the Baltimore Con- vention.’ But what the Plebeian only shadows forth mysteriously, the Tyler organ announces voldly, and denounces the Van Buren section and ali its organs, in the moat vehement style. And these sections have, it must be confessed, something to fight about. They have the tariff and Texas, but, above all, they have ‘the spoils” to fight about. And their struggles will make the ensuing seseion of Congress very interesting to the whole country. In fact, inconsiderable and con- temptible as these squabbies muy appear, and al- hough their organs and newspapers possess but tumited circulation and influence, still the move- ments of these sections of the democracy may re- sultin consequences of momentous interest. The 4reat issues of peace or war may hang on these intestine quarrels; and, at all events, it will be ex- tremely amusing (0 trace we: progress or tis Kir kenny fight. The whigs will stand by and look on. 3o shall we, being, happily, amongst the neutrals. Berrine on Exections.—It is melancholy to lis- ten to the various accounts we hear of the distress and domestic affliction growing out of that atro- cious vice, betting on elections. Many persons with large families depending upon them for sup- port, instead of exercising that due prudence, re- quired from their responsible position, have had the culpable temerity to bet and lose their all on the result of the recent election; and many persons in this city are entirely ruined. We hear of one case of a bet made by certain persons, in which the money was deposited in the hands of a third indi- vidual, who, under the excitement of politics, ac- tually betrayed his trust, invaded the privacy of the purse entrusted to him, bet on Clay the whole sum, and lost it. The owners called to get the stakes, but no stakes were there. The delinquent had to tell the truth, and the scene that attended that exposé may be more easily imagined than describ- ed. Suffice it to say, that the winner, exasperated at being baulked of his prey, declared, that if the money was not forthcoming he would have the of- fender’s life, as sucha breach of honesty should not be passed over. Accounts of a similar kind, ex- hibiting the distress and affliction ensuing from betting on elections, are abundant from all parts of the country, but particularly from large cities and the West. It really seems as though the friends of Mr. Clay, in the recent contest, were perfectly crazy; for nothing short of this could have prompted them to bring starvation and chill penury on their families. That surely was the unkindest cut of all; far, far more cruel than raking up the bones of Polk’s grandfather, or any other act of political turpitude. But the evil is now unfortunately per- petrated, and it should be the duty of all to profit by the lesson; and, if possible, draw from its sever- ity an antidote against its future recurrence. Should, then, the loases and devastation resulting to the improvident from this passion for betting change the temper of politicians, some good may be expected from it; but should the evil continue, it will be Figh time for a public expression of opinion on the subject; and it is to be hoped that, if neces sary, every legislature throughout the Union will take the matter in hand, and, as the guardians of the common weal, prevent a recurrence of such disastrous scenes at every ensuing election. Tue Awrut Panic Rengwep —The panic was renewed in Wail street yesterday. Stocks—the faney—fell 1 to 3 per cent. Everything is falling— flour is falling—corn is falling—potatoes are tall ing—rain is falling—and drunken loafers are talling in the mud. Contracts are breaking like pipe- stems. But the greatest instance of the general wreck isthe rumor that the following important manufacturing operation has been annulled and withdrawn by the capitalists engaged in it. CarriacE To TAKE Mr. Cray TO Wasninaton.— Wm F. Patesson, of Wheeling, Va., was at Con- cord, N. H.,, last week, and contracted for as good a coach as Abbott & Downing can make, to have the likeness and name of Henry Clay painted upon it, and to be delivered to him in Wheeling on the last of December next. This coach is to be used for the first time to convey Mr. Clay trom Wheel- ing, Va. to Cumberland, Md., on his way to Wash- ington, on the last of February or the first of March next, to assume the office of Preaident for the next tour years. Mr. Clay will eome to Wheeling by steamboat, and will take the cars at Cumberland tor aorta al The 180 miles from Wheeling to Cumberland, passing the mountaius, is the only stage route from Ashland to Washington— Newark Advertiser. Now let us all go tain together. Oh! oh! oh‘ TRovBLE AMONG THE Staves.—Twenty-three aegroes were arraigned before the Recorder, at St. Louis on the 11th inst., for violation of the city ordinances, It is said there had been some tam- pering with the slave population in that eity during the previous week Mat yrom Tux Soura ~That which was due at 2 o’clock yesterday afternoon, did not arrive till after six, in consequence of the train running off the track sear Bristol, lt brought nothing trom south of Riehmond. ott Peso rata ts 7 Iurontant Ixpietuent.—We understand that the Grand Jury have indicted Chevalier Wikoft with some one of his coadjutors, all of whom were recently engaged in the publication of that exqui site newspaper called the ‘‘ Republic.” This in- dictment is founded, it is said, on some gross and malicious libel upon a private individual, cf what nature we do not exactly understand. The next thing wi'lbe the issue of a Bench warrant for his arrest. Be that as it may, we presume that the Chevalier will now have his hands full. It will be observed that this is the only indict- ment of the kind, of any consequence, which has been pregented since those of Washington Dixon and Mixe Walsh were disposed of. A conviction therefore would open to the Chevalier the exciting prospect of a sojourn for some months on one of the most beautiful islands in the neigh- boihood of New York, commonly called Black- well’s Island. The penitentiary buildings there are very beautiful, of elegant and classic proportions, and built of a species of limestone, closely ap- proaching to marble; and as in Europe, all the distinguished personages occupy marble palaces, so ought noted characters here. The amusements and occupations of the Island were very well de scribed by the genius of Washington Dixon, and the immortal pen of Mike Walsh, but we forget the chief details, and must look up the authorities hereafter for the benefit of all specially interested. We are very sorry that the poor Chevalier has got 1nl0 such an awkward dilemma. 1t was surely quite enough for his advisers wud coadjutore to make him lose $16,000, without involving him in an indictment, which opens up such a melancholy prospect forhim. He had much better have taken our advice on his assuming the publication of such a journal; and instead of attempting to reform the newspaper press of the United States, or manufac- turing an organ of public opinion, that would be respected ia Europe, have stuck to his original avo cation in the theatri line, that of furnishing ele- gant danseuses, and inviting to the country distin- guished artists from foreign parw. He was quite foolish in venturing into a sphere so very far beyond his calibre and limited abilities. Movements oF THE ABOLITIONISTS.—We per eeive from the abolition journals, that thie party have commenced their movements for the next year by calling a general convention of all their friends in New York, New England, and all the central and westefn States, which is to be held at Albany on the 4th and 5th of next month. All the great leaders of the abolition party are expected to be there, and as they have polled fifty thousand votes in the recent election, and contributéd te the defeat of Mr Clay, and may hold the balance of power tor years to come in several of the States, it will be a very interesting assemblage. As to their views, and principles, and measures, it is well known that to them we are radically op- posed. They have no business whatever with sla- very in the Southern States. That domestic insti- tution belongs to each State in which it exists, and the mode and manner of ita gradual extincton'are to be left entirely to those States themselves — Under the Constitution, we do not think it is morally just or fair in any body of men in the Northern States to act on this subject. Our firm belief is, that slavery, as a domestic institu- tion of the South, will gradually be extinguished in the process of time, as the white race presses upon the black. The annexation of Texas will singly have a great influence in helping to remove the institution of slavery from a portion of the Southern States; and we believe that ina few years Maryland, Virginia and Kentucky will be amongst the first who will act on this subject, of their own free will and accord. But in reference to the other political parties, it will be weil for them all to beware of any connec- tion with the abolitionists, If the whig party take Care—el-themeclwee—heep cluuf (oul every ene tangling alliance with any of the factions of the day—adhere to thei own measures and principles, it is yet possible for them to regain their lost ground, and to attain an ascendancy in the country. We have always firmly believed, that there is an absolute majority of the intelligent people of this country, somewhat, though perhaps not fully in favor of whig measures, with some degree of modi- cation. And if by any mismanagement on the part of the new administration, the democracy should make themselves unpopular, there can be little doubt but the whigs may be able to re-acquire their lost power in 1848. But let them by no means meddle with the abolitionists. Leave them to themselves. TaxatricaLs—Mr. Anpverson’s Benerit.—This evening Mr. Anderson takes his benefit at the Park Theatre, and closes an engagement that has been successful for all parties interested—for him- self, the manager, and the play-going public, who strongly muster from night to night to see Mr. An- derson perform—is, among the many valid proofs of his popularity, that could be named—a leading one. There is no necessity whatever to invite an audience; we are certain that the announcement of this popular young actor’s benefit will fil] the house. The pieces are happily chosen—Claude Melnotte, in the “Lady of Lyons,” being one of his best characters. Those who have seen him in this part must feel an irresistible desire to repeat the gratifi- cation; those who have not should not lose the chance. It they can relish the har- mony between action and sentiment; if they have a mental perception of that chastened fervor of feeling with which a real artist can dispel the indifference of a spectator more forcibly than by the whirlwind of passion ; if they admire pol- ished art as the mirror, and not the prompter of nature—then Mr. Anderson’s portraiture of the deep feelings of the human heart will be apprecia- ted by them. In addition to the “Lady ef Lyons,” the old but excellent comedy of ‘‘The Elder Bro- ther” will be played; and certainly if this is not an ample provision for one night’s entertrinment, we do not know what is. It is to be hoped-that Mr. Anderson will not take his leave of the Park now, when a healthful reac- tion has taken place in the theatrical affairs of the establishment, which must be mainly attributed to his efforts. What the future of this young drama tist may be, if not entirely palpable, is pretty probable; for there is little ground for hesitating to predict for hima brilliant career, provided he wears his present honors discreetly ; provided his ircumspection, his industry, his self-discipline, association, be equal to his genius. There ix such a thing as the intoxication of success; and perhaps none are more open to its influences than those endowed with real talent. The friends of such mean well in essaying to dilute the draught of good fortune by solid and sober counsel. That it is wanted in the present case, we do not mean to insinuate in the slightest degree: it cannot, how- ever, be injurious, and may be salutary ; and it is offered with a proper appreciation of the talents of our popular beneficiair, and a sincere wish that no sinister influence or adverse current may give his now prosperous progress in his profession a false direction. But to close—which it is pleasant to do with agreeable tidinge—Mr. Anderson’s benefit takes place to-night, cn which occasion he appears in two of his best characters. Travian Opera To-Nieut.—The new and beau- tiful opera is to be repeated to-night, and the new prima downa also appears again to extend and con- firm her triumphs. The houses havé been exceed- ingly brillant, and to-night another rush and crush of loveliness, fashion, gaiety and elegance may be expected. Tue “Sapte Sistens’” Concert Last Even- 1na.—The firat concert of the “Sable Sisters” came off last evening at the Apollo Rooms, which were crowded te excess. The principal members of the corporation, with several of their ladies, were present The music and singing were both novel and entertaining, and no doubt wil! be very attractive. 1814. ‘outa HS, is” Tai a * 2508 106) 862536 2649 2613 487 «62664-2791 5202 3765188 4856 340T «314 M62 (5587 2592 «106 )=— 2613-1790 4495 «24345564183 2218 410 «(2265 «(1864 4692, i 4736 429) 2358 «542 «2390-2360 a oe me ‘627 150i «9315181519 2192 103 «1960 1959 2105 «208 = 2138 3500 Mea 30 35862935 406 608 = 4418-2877 6291 «712 «GMI (8571 44877 4781 5020 2073) «154-2080 1655 2709210 — -~ 3848 13Ll |= SBOL BBS SOL «43005730 6831 3278 6 3269 2840 28302 «117 29 11d 25824 2589 3800-2603 319 TIT 14d = 7803 6982 6878 «6732 «669886176 3659 «435° STITT. 4000 5303 36 SBA 4604 2003-26 - CA 4392 B44 4445 S731 6050 41361214703 173h - m3) 972 2750 1 2797-2504 5616 181 = (5756 6263 1063 1 1o7L 10a “79 rT 7 $908 468 = =e 4199 «1200 4 4499 67 = I7iL 1739 i ‘34. 2986 249 184 2 2316 S12 M3 US ‘3375 Mu ed CA 1954 30 19831715 248 90 «62562194 7! rt fit ud 17371317 sro (338 ‘2 4079 4016 = 563 4151 3970 4412 o 4 4! 2102 442 — Cd 2u1l = 207 2157 =—9030 225812 212519 232411 997437 15875 - - 21359 282411 Harrison's maj. 13293 5026 Wrt's, Polk's u.aj.

Present action was brought to re- :over double the value ol the competion. It was put up in defence, that the goods were received by the defendant, without any knowledge of their having been illegally procured ; that after the: been received they were not concealed, but were ying in the store amongst other merchandize—that detendant did not send for the goods, nor had he any agency in bringing them to his store.
