At length the excitement, now ending in open insurrection, and which has existed for many months past in the counties surrounding Albany, ‘Troy and Hudson, has reached this city, and in a form which must call out an expression of public opinion on the present crisis in the insurrectionary districts, and thus determine whether we are @ government Of laws, constitutionally enacted, and to be rigidly admimstered, or whether we are @ government subject only to popular impulses of mobs and insurrectionary meetings of agitators, either here or elsewhere. During the-tast few days, it appeara that some movements of sympathy with those outrages in ‘the infected counties, have been made in this city, and the result appears to be the call for a public meeting in favor of the insurrection, at Croton Hall, thi, evening, in the shape of the following hand- bill, which has been placarded in all the public places throughout the city and the suburbs. Here it is:— AntrRevr Wan.—Feuiow-Crrizens—Troops have gone trom this city, cqtipped with the instruments uf death, for the purpose of commencing a civil war.in this State, to establish feudalism over freedom. We protest against these proceedings, because 1. The immense tracts ot land claimed by Lord Van Rensselaer were given to him by persons (foreign kings and queens) who did not own o.e acre of the same. 2, ‘he wrong is increased by the insulting conditions upon which the “tenants” are permitted to occupy the land thus unjustly claimed by Van Rensselaer ; in addi tion tothe“ rent,” they are bound to do him “ villian ser- vice,” replenish his larder with fat ducks, and pay hima fine every time they dispose of their property-even by Request They are not permitted to touch a mine, or build any water machinery, and must, at any time he de- mands it, = upthe whole farm, or any part thereof, thet “my lord” may erect Ais mills, and erect his machi- ry! Feliow-citizens- Every man must see thet such a sys- tem is not only degrading to the men who are its victims, Dut an insult to the majesty of the people. Inthe degra: dation of even afew citizens, every member of the Ro- public is measurably disgraced. For these among other reasons, a public meeting of the citizensof New York will be held at Croton Hall, corner of the Bowery and Division street, Friday evening, Jan. at half past To°clock, for the pu of taking into Sonsideration the best means of chellahing this terunent of Fuedal barbarism, By order of 2 Committee of the New, Work National ‘THOMAS A. DEVYR, Chairman. There is no misunderstanding this bulletin. The person whe signs the notice of the committee has been forseveral years a resident of thiscity, and during the last four months he has published a jour- nal called the ‘‘ National Reformer,” the columns of which have teemed weekly with articles in fe- vor of the revolutionists on the Hadson, and call- ing upon them, by all the principles of liberty and equality, to unite together and put down for ever what was called “feudalism,” “tyranny,” “lordly oppression.” During the past summer the same person frequently visited in person the insurrection- ary districts, giving in his paper full and graphic ac- counts of the various meetings which he attended, and the progress of the “‘ free” principles which his paper advocated. We have still in our possession, we believe, a number of these papers, which con- tained descriptions of his journeyings around the insurrectionary districts. Again, the “National Reform Committee,” of which this person is the organ, and of which one Mr. John Windt and various other individuals in this city are members, has been in existence for many months, and itsdeclared purpose has beento organize @ party, whose grand principle} of action was a division of the public lands amongst all those citizens of the republic who now possess no landed property. This division is to be effected without money and without price. Previous to the last election, this committee and their assistant agitators, had various meetings throughout the city, organized sub-committees in several wards, and actually nominated Congressional and State tickets, all their candidates. being pledged to their peculiar doctrines. Ely Moore was one of those’candidates, and Parke Godwin, one of the assistant ‘editots of the ‘“‘ Evening Post,” we believe, anofher. At all events the latter gentleman published something favorable to the views of this new agrarian party. We may also add that this party have ‘another newspaper or- gan entitled the “‘ Working Man’s Advocate,” whieh 1s edited by an Englisman named Evane, who was,we believe, indoctrinated with these agra- rian principles in the English radical distriets, and Mike Walsh. This paper is weekly filled with the most inflammatory appeals to the mob-spirit, and breathes a tone of bold and utter defiance of the laws. Such are the movements which are now com- ing rapidly toa crisis. A public meeting of the citizens of New York is called to-night at Croton Hall for the purpose of devising measures to pre- vent the execution of the laws inthis State. If the constituted authorities of New York are unable to carry the laws into execution, and these anti-rent principles obtain the ascendancy, the next move- ment will be to divide the public lands—to abolish all rente—destroy ali leases and title-deeds—and to throw society back to its original elemente— “Where wild in woods the noble savage ran.” ‘This then, is the singular crisis into which the cri- minal apathy of both parties before the last elec- tion, has precipitated the people of this city and of this State. [t is now, indeed, time to act, And we look to the people of this cityto take that course of action in relation to this deplorable agitation, which a full determination to uphold the constita- tion and the laws, will warrant at this critical mo- meat in our internal difficulties. More Apoutrion Movements.—While the patri- ots of Quattlebum and Bluff-town, in South Caro- lina, are threatening to dissolve the Union if the ‘Tariff be not repealed and Texas annexed, we per- ive that the Abolitionists of Boston and that neighborhood, have commenced a movement for the peacefal dissolution of the Union, in the shape ofa petition which they intended to present to Congress during the present session. It seems that a petition, calling for a National Convention to ex- terpate Slavery, or dissolve the Union with the Southern States, has been circulated all over Mas- sachusetts for some time past, and is now publish- ed in the Boston Liberator, (Mr. Garrison’s paper,) with a great deal of flourish, and no doubt will be ready for presentation to Congress ina week or two. . Thus we go. While many of the States repudi- ate their just debts—while an insurrection is going onin the centrahscounties of the State of New York—while certaih portions of Maryland and Pennsylvania oppose payment of taxes—we see the extreme enthusiasts of the South and of the North preparing gradually to declare for an utter dissolution of the Union, if their several schemes, each of them antagonistic of the other, be not adopted by the rest of the country. Under such af accumulation of threatenings and dangers to the stability of the Union, it may be asked, is it notan alarming crisis? We say—no. The bulk of the nation are in favor of the Union, and the enthusiasts in any part of the country may pass as many resolutions as they please. Let them dis solve the Union if they can! Larest Yrom THE InsvrRectTionaRy DistRicTs.— Up to a late hour last evening, there. was no fur- ther information relative to proceedings in the various districts where the Aati-rent movement ‘wae prevailing, beyond what we have given in another part of our paper. Of course, rumor, with het thousand tongues, was not idle—but nothing of that sort was in such form as could be relied upon. New State Governuent.—The Governor and Lieutenant Governor elect took the oath of office in Albany on the Ist instant. They afterwards received the visits of their friends and the ‘public, ‘Fhe Legislature meet at the capital next Tuesday, ‘TreMrnation or THE ONDERDONK INVESTIGATION —Decision or THe House or Bisoors—Tag Bisnor Founp Gumry.—Yesterday at 3 o’clock the inves- tigation in relation to certain charges preferred against Bishop Onderdonk, terminated in the ren- dition of the verdict of the Court. The Bishop was found guilty on all the specifications in the presentment, except one, on which the testimony was of such’a character that it could notbe enter- tained. The vote was eleven for a finding of “guil- ty,” and siz of ‘ not guilty’°—a result very nearly that. which we predicted a few days ago. The Court will meet again this day, for the purpose of pronouncing sentence, and then the Bishop will have the privilege of stating reasons in arrest of judgment. It is desired by the Bishops who voted against him that Bishop Onderdonk would offer his resignation. But this, it is well understood, he will not do. In themeantime, the friends of the Bishops are deliberating on their course. Itis almost decided by. them to calla convention of the Diocese of New York, for the*purpose of making a resolute and united movementin defence of the Bishop. Indeed, we are pretty well assured that a solemn protest against the decision of the House of Bish- ops will be made by this diocese, and that a formal and final separation will fotlow. In thisprotest and separation, other dioceses may be reasonably ex pected to unite, and thus we have the prospect of acomplete division of the Protestant Episcopal Church in thiscountry. The truth is, mattershave been gradually approaching this point for some yearspast. The crisis,which was unavoidable, has been only precipitated by this accidental ciream- stance of Bishop Oaderdonk’strial and conviction As we have all along stated, this has been a critical and decisive struggle between the twogreat parties into which this church has been divided,—a feud originating in a quarrel about the funds of the Trinity Church corporation, inflamed and increased by the circumstance attendant on the Puseyite controversy, and now conducted to its final de- mouement by the trial of Bishop Onderdopk, on charges stale, frivilous, and ridiculous. A great deal of excitement will be produced by the result of this ¢ The public voice calls uni- versally for a publication of the whole of the evi- dence, the arguments, and the proceedings of the Court in this case. It ought not to be withheld. On the consequences likely to follow this affair, with respect to the ; Trinity Church funds—the Episcopal Church—and the great cause of religion itself, we will hereafter have ample opportunity to th speak, as subsequent events are developed. Mertinc in Favog of PgeMaNENTLY Es- TABLISHING THE Italian Opera In New York. —A highly respectable and well attended meeting of the friends of the Italian Opera was held yes- terday evening at the New York Hotel, Broadway. ‘This movement, which is likely to be well sus- tained, originated with a few gentlemen, whose views will be best understood by a perusal of the following notice convening the meeting :— Naw ¥orx, 80th December, 1644. scene Sewing toa thoes, have pease ‘Remsuives { the accuracy ofthe statements,already published,of the iasuiticleaty'ot ‘the patronage hitherto bestowed upon the ent , to afford those engeged in it adequate support, and corpently nest your-attendance at rope | to be held at the New York Hotel, on Thursday, the 41 of Janus: 7 o'clock P. M., when an effort will be made by the lovers of music and of the Opera to sustain the preseat company an season. After a Chairman and Secretary had been ap- pointed, a lively conversation took place upon the position and prospects of the Opera. A subscrip- tion list was opened, and a liberal sum immediately subscribed towards.a new season of twenty-four days, to commence about the first of next month. In addition to this, it was resolved to establish, for the support of the Italian Opera, a permanent fund, whose resources are to be applied only in case of future inadequacy im the receipts to sustain the company. We have the pleasure of stating that this fund was also subscribed to in agenerousman- ner at the meeting last night, and, from ‘the inter- est manifested, it is likely to be considerably aug- mented through the efforts. of those gentlemen to secure the patronage of their friendsin addition to their own. A committee of five was appointed to carry out the views of the meeting, at which a creditable spirit, certainly, was manifested, and one which we trust will succeed in retaining in this city an efficient and well organized operatic corps—such as the present. Ote Beiw’s Farewsit Concent—New Sacegp Composition.—Ole Bull is preparing to give his farewell concert in this city. He is busily engaged on a new composition, embodying the sublime emo- tions, excited by that great effort of the “sweet singer ot Israel”—the 18th Pealm—and which he intends performing at this last concert. This new composition will, we are inclined to think, exhibit his powers as a composer and musical poet, with greater effect than any previous effort. It is cer- tainly a boldjand daring project to attempt, this mu- sical embodiment of the sentiments of this inspir- ed composition—one of the most beautiful and pa- thetic to be found in the Old Testament. Let us just recite a few of the verses:— In my distress I called upon the Lonp, and cried unto my Gop: he heard my voice out of his temple, and my ey cue idee nam Gree tale Bin aers. ‘hen the earth shook and trembled ; the foundations one the hills moved and were shaken, because he was wroth. He bowed the heavens also, and came down : and dark- ness was under his feet. And he rode upon a cherub and did fly ; yea, he did fly upon the wings of the wind. He made darkness his sec:et place ; his pavilion round about him were dark waters and thick clouds of the akies. At the brightness that was before him, his thick clouds passed 5 hail stones and coals of fire. fren - of waters were pon ge the beta dations of the world were discovered at rebuke, Lonp, at the blast of the breath of thy nostrils. ff He sent from above, he took me, he drew me out of many waters. Such is a specimen of this sublime and inspired poem—infinitely transcending in poetic fervourand lofty thought any thing to be found in Homer or Milton. The attempt to convey in musical num- bers the feelings excited by it, is only paralleled by that of Handel, which resulted in those immortal compositions with which his name is ever to be as- sociated. We doubt not that Ole Bull will be equal- ly and triumphantly successful, and will be greatly astonished, indeed, if this last effort of his genious be not the most popular of all, and the most endur- ing monument of his exalted talent. Iranian Mustc. — One of the most delightful books of music ever published in this country is Antognin Album,” containing an admirable collection of the choicest gems from the Italian operas. The selection has been made with char- acteristic taste, and the style of the work ia very elegant. It is just the work that the ladies wanted a carefully compiled selection of Italian music— and is already very popular in all our fashionable drawing rooms. Tux Concent or Tur Onragan Famity.—These very interesting musicians, in conjunction with Mr. Browa, will give a Concert this evening at the Society Library Rooms, Broadway. The pieces they intend to perform are new and attractive.— Mr. Brewn will introduce on the occasion, some of his most resent compositions. Tue Barrie or Bunxer’s Hii, &c.—This ex hibition at the Coliseum, Broadway, has been crowded during the holidays, strikingly evidencing how well it is appreciated by the public, which it well merits for excellency, dec.

Williams, of Somerset, was chosen President of the Senate, and \Chapman Speaker of the House, New Yxan’s Day in New York.—As fine a Jan- uary day as ever shone from the heavens ushered in the advent of 1845. New Year’s day is always a remarkable epoch for the lovers of fun and ex- citement ; a striking one in a social point of view, as being the period when gentlemen, young and old, even including old bachelors, are free to visit young ladies, without liability to be suspected of a lurking regard for any object but conventional usage. It is also a peculiarly welcome day to news-men, cab-men, confectioners, wine-bibbers, and the friends of publicans, for on that day these latter functionaries are wont to keep open house— custom whose popularity has nothing to fear from the hostility of any sect or party excepting the dis- tinguished originators of the manufacture of Cold Water Punch in the Park Fountain. But the New Yeardoesnot begia with delight,nor shine aholiday for all classes. Disconsolate door-keepers are har- rassed by the monotony of importunate knockers ; theatrical managers lose all management of them- selves in their anxiety for the fate of their ‘* no- velties ;” cooks are oppressed, and butlers over- powered ; Mayors become martyrs to the formali- ties of levees; and horses are driven to show their faith in whipcord, by an increase in the rapid- ity of their locomotion. All these truths and many more were no doubt faithfully illustrated on last New Year’s Day; yet, notwithstanding the beauty of the weather and the prosperity of the times, there was, in the forenoon, apparently lesa than the customary amount of bus- tle and fun, and merriment and hilarity. There were abundance of visitors on the rounds certainly, and this constituted the principal feature of the day. From an early hour a continuous stream of pedestrians literally covered the streets, an effect ‘produced most easily, as they had already been Covered with a stratum of mud and filth, and every species of nuisance, to a depth almost as great as the laziness and incompetency of those who are paid, and who pledged their promises, as lovers of reform, to sweep them. The incessant noise of kitackers was heard on every hand ; and frequent- ly, @s one passed along, they might overhear a re mark, such as, ‘Do you recollect the number ?” “Oh, we'll find that out ; the name’s on the door;” plainly showing that previous familiarity was by no Mheans considered an essential to confer ‘‘the right of visit ;” nor was it destitute of interest in andther point of view, as being the first general re- cognition of * the}right of search, (for the resi- ‘denceel of friends,) upon record by{Americans, In e west end carriages were rolling the rounds in large numbers, and now and again a showy livery reminded the spectator of more aristocratical countries, where the curious operation is performed of driving coaches through acts of Parliament ; -where a footman’s value 1s in proportion to the circumference of the calf of his leg, aud where the maker ofthe one and the master of the other is esteemed profound according to the profundity of bis purse;; and where the extent of his knowledge is considered proportionate to that of his estates. One of the principal attractions of the day was Collector Van Ness’s reception of his friends at Tammany Hall. For sumptuous and elegant pre- parations, the hospitable rites of this agreeable ob- servance could §aot possibly be surpassed. The Collector was waited upon by,several thousands whose congratulations were tendered to him upon the confirmation of his appointment to the high of- fice he helds, by the Senate, and hie manner was most felicitous and pleasing to all who'visited him. All who went were welcomed heartily;and all went away as heartily gratified. The Mayor, too, held a kind of levee, which ‘was pretty numerously attended. If there was a more limited expenditure of wit and Wine at than the Tammany Hall affair, the consumption’ *‘native” grapes and lemonade was immeasugably greater ; we believe the last mentioned articledis- appeared in enormous quantities: His Honor Was particularly affable, and none who waited upen him returned without either a nod, a wink, or shake of the hand. In the afternoon, a. set. choice spirits waited upon the Mayor at his resi- dence, and by way of compliment to him, keptjup aprolonged noise of bassoons, setpents, trombones and banjos, which they called a serenade. A large detachment of newsboys were on the spot, and in- terlarded; the musical performances with a few notes of exclamation, such as “ here’s the Herald, —look out for equalise—where are the scavengers ? —three cheers for the apple-women,” and numer- ous other shrewd and pointed remarks, with which it is said his Honor was not over delighted. As evening approached, severa! remarkable indi- cations were observable that events were beginning to thicken, and that before the expiration of the first day of the New Year, there would be some spicy and unique doings in Gotham. About that hour, which suggested itself as the one after din- ner, there might, to an observant eye, be seen omi- nous gatheringe of devil-may-care-looking fellows about the entrances of grog shops, hotels, and cara- vansaries; knots of industrious yawuers about lamp posts, and sundry picquets of rollicking sailors making their way up town, to kick up a spree, and look out for chances. By and bye, the disposition of these numerous forces had undergone a change ; formations on a most extensive scale took place in- side, instead of outside the grog shops; a great noise of glasses in motion succeeded, and in a short time the traveller in the streets was inter- cepted, oecasionally by men “half seas over,” and others “ hard up.” Towards sunset, the nui- sance had increased to a great extent ; indeed, there is hardly a street a person entered, but several “decided cases” of intoxication presented them- selves to the sight, and by ten o’clock those who were “glorious”—within the grog shops and with- out—were past computation. About this hour they began to become pretty noisy, and we understand that several very gallant affairs came off between the votaries of Bacchus and the Watchmen, in which the latter invariably came off second best.— A large quantity of gunpowder was expended in the course of the day, and to the great credit of grocer’s attachés, and draper’s assistants, grand- moiher’s pets, and unruly schoolboys—the most interminable cracking of pistole—pocket, cavalry, revolving and every other sort—met the ear, wherever there was an open door or gateway—or any convenient aperture through which to make the folks in the street smell powder. Now, and again too,we were gratified by a procession of ama- teur originals, decked out in grotesque toggery, and fantastic habiliments, which} was invariably attended by an incredible number of steady boys, staggering striplings, and stupid adults. At one lo- cality, the whole blessed day was spent in guess: ing for a pig ; in another they were content to pay for the pleasure of shooting at one; but whether their eye teeth were not cut, or that the potations of the holidays had interfered with their eye-sight, is notupo: cord ; at ull events, the aforesaid ani- mals came off uaseathed, much tu the delight of all who reprobate cruelty to animals. The several places of amusement were literally crammed on New Year's night ; the theatres es- pecially, each and all of them enjoyed a fruitful benefit—plenty of noise and plenty of wool too ; but in some cases the torrent of numbers and whirl- wind of mirth ran so high, that the words of a famous general were applicable—* another such vietory would be our ruin.” All these theatricals will be found elsewhere. So we will here conclude with observing that from all we have seen, it ie our opinion that that momentous day—January first, 1845, will never revisit ue—that we will not for twelve months have another “ New Year's day” ; and that it will take at least three times that period to correct the vice, and eradicate the iiatemperance and rowdyism, such as we saw on NewYear’s night—and which was principally gene- rated by the licentious, immoral and factious pro- cedure of political clubs and cabais during the late election, Srramsuir Acapra left Boston on Wednesdey for Liverpool, with about fifty pamengers, Larest rzom THe InrecteD Countixs.--Figut ‘anv Funny Scgnxa.—-The northern mail has brought us plenty of papers from the insurrection- ary counties. Our latest Albany paper is of the ‘1st instant.

(rom Albany Angus, Tratian Opgra.—There was a good house at Palmo’s on New Year's day, “when Ceferentola was performed for the last time during this season.

Middletown, Orange Co. (Correspondence of the New York Herald.) Muppetown, Ist January, 1845. J. G. Bennetr, Esq. :— Dear Sta: We are ina blaze of excitement here owing to the wars and rumors of ware which reach us from the upper counties. (ur military men a:e trem- bling in their shoes, and watching every mail with the expectation of receiving marching orders from headquarters. I said trembling—but not with fear, . leat they should not come in for afar share of the glory of this most inglorious war; for they are as brave a set of fellows as ever “ Shouldered a crutch To show how fields are won.” + But eeriously, and to the point, in reference to these anti-renters. In the first place, we doubt, in this region, whether Gov. Bouck has the authori- ty to call out a single regiment toact against theee men ; and nothing will be done, on an extensive scale, until Gov. Wright assumes the chair, when a special act will Ki Yom for the run troops, it neceasary—providing of arms, prov! g S&c. , Secondly, there are not orgamzed troops enough in the state to conquer the anti-renters, and for this reason: These men known every nook and corner and barat F by-place—every covert and place of ambush within their boundaries, and to meet them in open fight, upon a fair field, will , | be impossible. 1f we have war it will be after the manner of the Seminoles. Whoever is ac- quainted with the localities which they imbabit must see at once the truth and force of these argu- ments. Again, they are much stronger, have reater resources, and are under better discipline than has been even thought of by those residing at agreat distance. For the last three years they have been steadily at work preparing for the storm with which they are now threatened; and it is said by those who know, that they have a fund of more than $80,000 on hand, which they will know how to use when the moment comes for action. This money has been raised by a voluntary contri- bution of one and a half cents on every acre of land on the domain. In the counties o areas, Columbia, Delaware, Scoharie, parts of Ulster an Suillvan, they can, at the shortest notice, call out army of more than fifteen thousand. of able bodied and determined men, who, fighting after the mode at which | have hinted, would make dis- astroug work amongst the strongest force which can be sent against them. . What then is to be done, supposing thet the worst should come to thejworst? All that can be done, effectually, is to proceed, in open day, to their cleared lands, take away their wives and chil » to a place of security, drive away their cattle, destroy the implements of husl and take other like steps, and depend upon it, they will ca sue for peace, and come to gion) nik is useless, in my poor opinion, to expect e8e men will over ) put down by the force of shot and cannon balls. ff it is attempted many a poor fel- tow will find daylight shining through hisearthly tabernacle before he dreams of it. | ; Nothing new in our quiet, flourishing, and lite- rary village. Iam rejoiced at the rising fortunes of my old friend, Harris, of Tennessee. He is as fine a fellow as ever followed pen-cra(t for his bread and butter. Successto him in his new ca- teer.
