Morg or tus Decency or tus New Rerorm Panrty.—The streets of this city have been for | months past in a state of filth which is indescriba- ble. All over the city the mud lies higher and deeper, and thicker and thinner according to the state of the weather, than ever it has been during the-last hundred years, or since the first street wag paved by the first Dutch settlers. Strangers arriving absolutely thunderstruck on behold- “HERALD. New York, Thureday, Jar ary 2%, 1845, The Cambria What has become of this steamer?

With a more abundant supply of water than any other city in the world— with every possible natural facility for constant cleanliness, New York is at this moment, and has been since the advent of the present party in the Corporation, beyond all qnestion the filthiest city in the civilized world. Bat the streets do not monopolize the “‘ native” filth. The newspaper organs of Mayor Harper and his associates, have been filled from the com- mencement with the grossest seurrilities and in- Thick, deep,and reeking, the filth has covered their columns, as day after day they have poured out the most violent abuse of all who have exposed the faithlessness, imbecility, and worth- lessness of the present corporate authorities: As void of discretion as of decency, the organ of yes- terday, for instance, comes out with a torrent of vulgar abuse of the Herald, on account of our re- cent exposure of the famous ‘ oil contract.” It thus commences its tirade :— Tue Hekacp again Purrose.y Miskerarsentina.— Yesterday we were shown the Herald of Monday, in Went to press. The Outgoing and Incoming Administra- Uons—Quarrel about the Spolls. As the sun ot Tylerism is rapidly sinkieg in the west, the fresh luminary of his successor begins to be distinguished ia the east, by a variety of na- tural phenomena in the political world, which are amusing, and philosophical, and instructive, as a matter of investigation and analysis. again and again, called the attention of our readers to the peculiar position of the party which elected Mr. Polk to the Presidency, andto the elements which constitute its formation at the present crisis —to the difficulties existing between the different factions into which it ie divided—and to the which seem new President, when he makes his appearance in Washing- ton and assumes the reins of office. our statements and views, the various organs of the democracy, from the Richmond Enquirer down, have asserted that Mr. Polk is a man of high character—that Mr. Polk ia a man of great prudence—that Mr. Polk is a man of wonderful moderation—that Mr. Polk is a man of remarka- ble segacity—and that Mr. Polk is, of course, pos- sessed of the qualities, moral and political, neces- sary to carry bimthrough the difficulties of his ap- proaching administration qualifications, but yet we do not see, evenif they were increased treple, how they can prevent the existence of the trouble and torment which are | which was copied the sffiluvit of Asswtant Alderman developing themselves in every quarter amongst the demoeratic journals, and the various cliques | ment, throughout the country, in reference to certain No wonder the tra- We can admitall these Jobnson, denying that he bad an: intere t in any cou- tract made with the Corporation Inder this is a state: retend« to deny, that the Commis- louse purchased some oil of Messrs, ‘Then st the bottom of this state- third, that three bottles of gil had been tested, three were below the standard of Now, these three etitements, placed in thi are so arranged es to create, if possible, the impression that Alderman Johnson had madea false statement in his affilavit, when the truth is that the oi! furnished to the ners was not furnished upon contract, and had no coonexion with apy cortract. ‘Ihe eil wes sold as he would have furnished it to any one else.

Thisis certainly rather a singular advocacy of such saintlike men, although, after all, it may stand very well beside the tales of Bocaccio, and the novels of Sue and Bulwer, or other pious publications of his Honor the Mayor. And yet these are the men who are constantly prating about their superior pretensions to respec~ tability, and decency, and purity, and regard for morality! They remind us very much of the sen- timental scoundrel inthe ‘School for Scandal,” who makes fine speeches about virtue and honor, whilst he is engaged in plotting the ruin of his neighbor’s wife. iH But what are the facts in this case which has excited such a bursting forth of all the “native” elements of filthiness in the organ of the Mayor and his coadjutors? Why simply that a profitable contract has been made with the partner of Assist ant Alderman Jehnson, contrary to the provisions of the charter which prohibits any Alderman or Assistant Alderman from participating directly or indirectly in any such contracts—that the article furnished was of inferior quality—and that the “ George Harris” referred to in the affidavit of the Alderman as having no connection whatever with the firm of Johnson & Sparrow, appears notwith- those associated with him, have endeavored by | standing to have some important share in transact, every means in their power to conciliate the ap- proaching dynasty. The selection of Mr. Polk’s brother for a very important office abroad, is a no- table instance of this prospective policy. Objec- tions have been raised to this particular appoint- ‘ ment in various quarters, and a hint thrown out | same thing! Yes, this is actually the defence set that the nominee was withdrawn, but we believe | up by this organ, whose intelligence is exactly in an that it is not so, and that the appointment will be persisted in and confirmed. This shows that Mr. Tyler and his friends now in office are endeavor- ing to strengthen themselves as much as possible, so as to retain office during the next administra- tion. Now, the question rises up, will they be able to do so, and sustain themselves against the other | by its impudence. But it seems that the sage re- portions of the democratic party connected with | formers in the Corporation intend to avail them- the fortunes ot Mr. Vam Buren, who are coming | selves of itin all cases. They reason thus—“ Our forward by various developments here and else- | predecessors kept the streets filthy, therefore we where, showing that they are determined to oust all those Tyler office holders after the fourth of | than they did—our predecessors imposed heavy March, in order to fill up the vacancies from their sioners ot ‘he Alms Mr. Polk end his administration may probably have little difficulty in carrying out, as far as they can, those measures which were made the issues In the last election, and which carried them into office. The President elect has a very dixect path before him in regard to Texas—the tariff—Oregon —a national bank—distribution of the proceeds of the public lands—or any of the other great pub- lic measures. He has merely to exprees his naked and isolated opinion en these measures, leaving to his party in Congress all the necessary action; an after legislation has been completed, he has mere- ly to sign or to veto the bills. enough in that respect, and without any difficulty— without rocks—without quicksands. may have little difficulty in the selection of his cabi- “net advisers. Whenever hehasmade up his mind, and named the men, it is very probable that even his own party, and the whole country, will quietly accept what he gives them in the way ef choice of cabinet officers, and we do not suppose that he may make a very bad selection amongst the many sen- sible, rational, eloquent, and talented men, in the ranks of his party. But while we admit all this—while we believe that Mr. Polk’s talent and sagacity willbe quite sufficient for these matters and the determination of this selection, we believe that there is another important view of his position, which becomes the more complicated and the more difficult, the Let us state the facts. ring the last two or three years, Captain Tyler has made many appointments to office, and is still in. dulging in the same business to some extent. public officers thus appointed have generally sup- ported Mr Polk at the last election, and accord- ingly expect to be retained in office, as much on the ground of their capacity and fitness, as on ac count of their prompt and cordial political fraterni- zation with the supporters of Mr. Polk. form policy of Mr. Tyler during the past winter, has been to put persons of th:s description into office. filling up the vacancies with as many friends as possible, in anticipation of the new administration. But in order to secure them in office, he, and His path is clear longer we lock at it. ing their business. These are the factse—and they are admitted, affidavit, price one by the decent organ. And what is the defence set up forthe worthy oil contractor? Why that one William G. Boggs was guilty of the very inverse ratio to its dirtiness. Mr. Bryant, the partner of Assistant Alderman Boggs was made Corporation printer, therefore Mr. Sparrow, the partner of Mr Assistant Alderman Johnson, has a perfect right to enter into a contract for supplying the city with oil! The folly of such a defence is equalled only are quite justified in keeping them tenfold filthier burdens of taxation on the people, therefore we are quite justified in increasing those burdens—we are Justified in adding two hundred thousand dollarsto the annual taxation of the city !” But it is idle to waste time in exposing the utter imbecility, folly, silliness, filthinees, and fuithlees ness, of this miserable party now in power in the This willbe the rock on which the new admi- nistration may split, or damage itself considerably.

Beach, of this city. We ex- pect something” very interesting and important, however, from the laborsof the committee of in- vestigation. It will be perceived, by a reference to a letter from a correspondent, which appears un- der our postecript head, that Beach himeelf has made his eppearance at Harrisburgh. His pre- sence will also probably soon be required at the seat of legislation in Trenton, agan examination is expected into the affairs of the Plainfield Bank, which appears to be connected, in some myste- rious manner, with the movements relative to the Lehigh concern. Indeed both Legislatures, that of Pennsylvania and that of New Jersey, owe it to themselves, to the character of their banking inati- tutions, and to the public at large, to scrutinize in the most searching manner possible, and to probe to the very bottom, every thing connected with these concerns with which the name of Beach is identified. In reference to the frivolous and ridiculous pros- ecution against us by the Plainfield Bank, we have only to say, that the :ost competent authority pre- nounces it illegal, and declares that we would be justified in inetituting proceedings against them, under the statute of this State, which makes it a misdemeanor “* for two or more persons to conspire faleely to-move or maintain a suit.” If vol.

Very Late from Mexico. It appears by the Charleston Courier of the 18th instant, that very interesting and important intelli. gence from Mexico has been received in that city via Havana. It is twenty days later than that brought by the Eugenia and Ventura. We give it as it appeared in the Courier:— Wo are indebted to the courtesy of Mr. Tripler, a pas- senger in the schr F. A. Brown, arrived yesterday from for the information which follows :— Mr. T. left Vera Cruz for Havana on the 2d instent, in the British mail steamer Dee, which vessel reached He- vane on the 7th instant. Atthe last accounts, Santa An- na was at San Martin de Sesmoluca, about four leagues from Puebla, with a force of about 6000 men, mostly moun- horses taken from the inhabitants. Gen. Paredes in close pursuit with an army of 9000 men, bus manwuvering and avoiding a conflict, @ matter of po- licy, as Santa Anna’s forces were dail; creasing, on ac- Sere] of pontine from oe ranks, while General P. was rapidly acquiring strength. Tae city of Mexico ia been well fortified, and every precautien taken to prevent or repel an assault, The Squeducts had been opened, and the mole which sur- rounds the city filled with water, and there was @ force ‘of some 30 000 armed citizens prepared tv defend it. ‘At Vera Cruz, a so, fortifications were in process, and the citizens were arming. The steamer Montezuma left Vera Crnz a short time before the Dee, bound to Cam peachy for troops, and reinforcements were also expect- ed from Alvarado and Tlacstalplan. ‘A decree had been issued by the Mexican Congress de claring Santa Annaa traitor and an outlaw, and authori- sing any whe may meet with him te take his life. Measures had also been adopted to prevent his escape, y guarding the diffzrent seaports and other out! ind it is believed that he must eventually be captured. Aree named Arellano, an individual in the interest of Sante Anna, with additional confidential correspondence, had been taken, and it was supposéd he would be executed Mr. Tripler states that the whole country isin a state of the utmost confusion—robberies of travellers were committed daily, and he himself was twice stripped of whatever was able about him, in his progress through Mexico. but without eny indignity being offered to his jon. Itis the opinion of Mr. T. from what he could learn, thet the new government would be as mych if not more virulently opposed to the annexetion of Texas as the former, and states that Americans are held in t abhorrence, and receive frequent insults at the hands of the Mexicans. Tyree Weexs Later From South AMERICA.— The ship Courier, a remarkably fast sailer, Captain Wolfe, arrived yesterday from Rio de Janeiro. She sailed thence on the 18th ult. It appears that the rebels in Rio Grande are in a fair way of being put down by the Imperial forces Four victories by the latter had been obtained in November. The Jornol do Commercio, of the 14th ult., con- tains advices from Lima to the 12th of October, and from Montevideo to the middle of November. There is nothing new from Lima, and the intelli- gence from Montevideo will be found in another part of the paper, The American brig of war, Bainbridge, was a: Rio on the 18th ult. The Courier, we believe, has only been absen' ninety days from this port. Srocx Spgcutations —In the meney article we have given some sketches of certain operations in relatioh to the Morria Canal, by which a number of eminent stock-jobbers have probably, in the compass of a few months, acquired $80,000 to $100,000 apiece, by’a mysterious process of buying and selling and double-shuffling, which is only un- derstood by the initiated in, Wall street. It does, indeed, seem incredible to the uninitiated how $50,000, or $60,000, or $100,000, are thus to be made in a month or two. But it is nothing new to these scientific stock-jobbers. In a recent opera- tion in the Long Island Railroad stock, a stock- jobber cleared about $20,000, and purchased with the proceeds a splendid mansion at New Brighton, the whole thing being ‘‘done” ina week. A num- ber of similar operations are now pending in the various fancy stocks of the day—Harlem Rail- road—Morris Canal—Canton, and so on—the par- ticulars of which we may give in a romantic way, byandby. Indeed, a picturesque and detailed his- tory of these stock-jobbing operations would make novels bywholesale. The meetings of the confe- derates—their plans of operation—their ekill and sagacity—their knowledge of law and gospel—the various modes by which they sell the stock to the outside barbarians, who are: the victims—the sleek manner in which they pocket their gains—their piety—their patronage of the church—all these would make a historical account infinitely amu- sing. Tux News sy THe OxForp,—The Sun and Ex- press seem to feel very much annoyed because they did not receive the news by the Oxford until after it was published in the Herald. In their chagrin, they utter a few falsehoods, which, however, are easily refuted. To do so, we will give’ample tacts in the case. The Oxford came to enchor on Monday last at 2 P.M., in the Lower Bay, the weather at the time being thick andstormy. Captain Rathbone, anxious to get the letters and newspapers up to the city, despatched Mr. Yeaton, the first mate, in an open boat, supplied with a compass and rowed by four of the crew. They landed, with iminent risk of losing their lives, below the Narrows early in the evening, and after considerable difficulty and delay Mr. Yeaton procured a team to take him and his men with the letter bagsto Brooklyn,which place he reached at 11 e’clock at night, covered with ice and nearly frozen. The letter bags were left atthe residence of Mr. Wyman, who is connected with the agency of the “old line of Liverpool packets,” and who resides in Brooklyn. He was absent from home, but the next morning the bagr were promptly sent over to the Post Office. The mate took out a file of papers for the Courier & Enquirer and the Herald (being the only two news. paper offices he had any knowledge of) which he delivered at midnight. In this matter, therefore, there appears to have been no neglect whatever, and, indeed, great cre~ dit isdue to Capt. Rathbone and his mate for their efforts to get the despatches of the Oxford up to the city. All those who received letters by the Oxford, owe Capt. R. their thanks for the early re- ceipt of their parcels. 1 being InrELiicknce From Oxzcon.—We are in pos, session of the Western (Mo.) Journal of the 4th inst. It contains some interesting intelligence from Oregon. It is anticipated that there will be a large emigratior from this in the month of May ensuing, for the Ore gon .

Phe government should consider that a little enterprize will place the East India trade at our door ; and the sooner the better. Durr Gaggen in Texas.—We perceive by the New Orleans papers that General Duff Green has got into trouble in Texas. He received the ap- pointment of United States Consul for Galveston, from President Tyler, but President Jones of Texas Tefuses to recognize him, or have any thing to do with him. After Duft received the appointment of Consul, he went to Mexico, and assisted Governor Shannon in his famous correspondence with Senor Rejon. After that he went to Texas and had seyeral inter- views with Presidents Houston and Jones, which led, it is said, to a rupture between him and Dr. Jones. Itis represented in New Orleans that the French and English Charge de Affairs are highly delighted with the diffi, alty. Lats rrom Bugnos Ayres.—Advices to the 16th of Nov., have beemreceived at Philadelphia. We take following from the “‘U. S. Gazette” of yester- day:— The Buenos Ayrean papers acknowledge the re- ceipt of the “Montevidean Sentinel,” containing the following intelligence. Col. Pacheeo y Obez had gone on board of one of the veesels of the French equadron. Other chiefe ot the eame party had taken refuge on board vari- ons vessels belonging to the Brazilian squadron.— Vasquez had asked for his passport, which had not been granted, though he had chartered an American vessel (name not mentioned) for his Chet alse The sane paper says that General Paz had arrived at Rio Grande, (most probably do Sul, Brazil) but of hisintended movements say nothidg. It seems that the departure of Col. Pacheco, was caused by his entertaining, opinions contrary to those of his colleague: ‘aequez,as Minister of the Interior and Foreiga Relations, has been denied his re- sigaation by the President. General Rondeu, the first Governor of the Republic of Montevideo, died on the 19tn of Nov. The difficultics with the Americans have been honorably and satisfactorily terminated. se Sicnnxss at St. Jago.—The Victorine, arrived yesterday from St. Jago. When she sailed, twen- ty-four days ago, afever was raging to an alarm- ingextent among the shipping. Seventeen sail of British, and two French vessels, had lost the prin- cipal part of their crews. They were not able to obtain assistance in consequence of the scarcity of seamen. The market was dull for American produce, with the exception of rice, which was somewhat brick. Apvices From Anticua.—We are indebted to Beecher’s express trom New Haven for the Antigua Herald & Gazette to the 3d inet , which atrivea there inthe Valhalla.

There are to be af- ternoon performances on each Saturday, which will afford the juvenile portion of the community an opportunity of being present. —_——. Fancy Drees Bat.—There was not a large at- tendence at the Fancy Dress Ball of the Zippa Club, last night, but it wasa very peasant and agreeable affair, in which everbody appeared to be delighted. The disolay of fancy dresses was not very extensive, but every thing was in good taste, and the festivity was one which will be long re membered by those who were fortunate enough to Participate in it.
