RT New York, Friday, March 14, 1845. PICTORIAL HERALD. The Meeting of the Female Industrial Society. Mr. TYLER'S DEPARTURE FROM WASHINGTON. The Weekly Herald, to be issued to-morrow morning, at 9 o’clock, willcontain twovery spirited and graphic engravings. One represents the great meeting of the “Female Industrial Society,” with Mrs. Stephens in the act of haranguing an excited and animated crowd of young and beautiful girls. "The other engraving gives an exceedingly interest- ing representation of Mr. Tyler’s departure from Washington, when “too late for the steamboat.” — Price enly 6} cents. hope of obtaining city retorm, and we are as far off the mark asever. Whigs and locofocos have been pretty much alike faithless to the public in- terest. Last of all we have had the “natives,” and whatever the degrees of imbecility, weakness and extravagance im those who preceded them, they certainly may be included in the superlative degree of every thing: that is weak, silly and bad — The melancholy part of the business, however, is, that we stilltemain without a good city government. Suill the effort'to obtain a reform in the manage- ment of our municipal affairs is not by any means to be given up. Let us see if there be not some obstacle in the way besides the weakness and un- faithfulness of those entrusted with power in the corporation. We do believe that one reason why we cannot obtain a good city government, arises from the im- perfect and detective organization of the system itself. We want a good formot goverament. We want one effective, properly balanced, and adapted to the present circumstances. In the city govern- ment at present there is a mixture of the legislative and executive functions which most seriously in- terfere with its salutary administration. There is no order, system, regularity, or uniformity in the pre- sent mode of governing the city. The whole sys- tem ought to be re-organized, and constructed on the principles of our State and National govern- ments, This is the only mode in which we can obtain an effectual reform of the present enormous abuses. In the first place, all the civic officers ought to be paid an adequate salary for their services. This will ensure the offices being filled by respectable, intelligent, and competent citizens—men of busi- ness, who will then be willing to devote their time to the discharge of their duties, and not look for remuneration out of corrupt contracts. The Mayor ought to be elected for two, three, or four years, and the Aldermen for the same period—oue-third to go out every year, so as always to retain in the offices men who know the routine of its duties. ‘Then there should be two representatives from each of the wards, to meet as a legislative body, and remain in session for three or four months every year, transacting all the legislative business, and leaving the executive business to the Mayor, and the several departments of police—streets— education, &c. &c. A municipal government of this character would be salutary, safe, and permanent in its action. For such asystem, all who really desire reform and good government ought to labor. The present system is altogether defective, and entirely fails to bring into energetic and useful action the natural capacities of men for government, however it may have answered the purpose, when the city had a population of fifteen or twenty thousand, some half century ago. Important Political Meeting—Next Tuesday. A very important public meeting of the whig par- ty of this city 1s called together on Tuesday even- ing next, for the purpose of receiving the nomina- tion of Dudley Selden, Esq. for Mayer. The fol- lowing is the call :— THE WHIGS WILL RALLY! !!—The Whig Electors of the City of New York aud allothers who disapprove of the TEXAS INIQUITY ; all who would express. their ns of the injustice done to HLENRY CLAY ; all who are willing ‘to stand by the wutary and beneficent Tariff of a Whig Con- ress; all who would congratulate their friends in the interior of the State ou their Recent Whig Victories ; all who are determin od faithfully to support Whig Mea- suresand abide by the cardinal principle of a rigorous Adherence to Regular WHIG NOMINATION: Vited to attend a general meeting at NATIONAL HALL on Tuesday Evening, March the 18th, at half past seven o'clock, to respond to the nomination of DUDLEY SEL. DEN, the Whig candidate for MAYOR. By order of the Mayoralty Convention, ‘: A R. LAWRENCE, President. O. NEWCOMB, i DENNING DUER, $ Vice Presidents. JL. Leveents, i Ar arenes { Secretaries. This is really an important movement. It is our firm belief that onthe character, avowals and principles put forth by this meeting, will depend the very existence of the whig party, net only in this city, but throughout the Union for years to come. In this matter we do notrefer to the “Tex- as iniquity,” or to “Henry Clay,” or the “tariff,” or to any of the other ‘obsolete ideas” of the day. We allude to the “native” question; a question which begins to run into the very soul and heart of society, in all that regards religious liberty» peace and repose. We hear it rumored that Mr. Seldon, the candi- date of the whigs, intends {to ceme forth at the meeting in question, and if he do so, no doubt he will give the public his views on all the public questions of the day, relative to city affairs.— ‘There is one point, which we hope he will net omit—and that is the true question of ‘* nativeism” in its bare and naked state, as it now exists.— Whether men, Americans, citizens, and even na- tives, are to be persecuted politically for their re- ligious opinions, is a vital question that must be decided at the approaching election—and not only that, but the very existence, for years to come, of the, whig party, will hangonthe same result. Will Mr. Seldon stand hisground? Will he boldly come up to the rescue of freligious liberty and the rights of conseience? Let us think of this. Heretofore Mr. Seldon has been a bold and fearless man in his political course. Will he be equal to the emer- gency in which he is now placed ? ErFERVESCENCE AMONGST THE OF¥ict-SEEKING Cxiqugs 1n THE City.—The office-seeking cliques in this city are now in a terrible ferment. Great dissatisfaction and excitement have been produced by the movement of Alderman Purdy in procuring the endorsement by the Committees of his applica- tion for the Collectorship. This act is regarded as transcending altogether the powers of the Cemmit- tees, and as an improper interference with their du- ties. Amongst the most intelligent peliticians, however, the whole thing is regarded as a ruse, in- tended to cover and effect some other purpose.— Alderman Purdy belongs to that class of the demo- cracy that always look one way and row the other. We are very much disposed to believe that from the first jump he did not at all mean to be a candi- date for the Collectorship, knowing that he was not fit for that office, however,competent to discharge the duties of a weigher in the Custom House, which he formerly did with, we believe, perfect fidelity. Most likely, therefore, the Ex-Alderman, like a knowing, shrewd, wide-awake old tom-cat, means to fall on a soft place, and under cover of this application for the Collectorship, to drop into the Post Office and oust Colonel Graham. If that be his object, as we believe it is, we have no objection. We rather think he would make a to- lerably good post-master—at all events better than the present incumbent. Asto mere party recom- mendations, however, we do not think that Presi- dent Polk will pay much attention to them. Tue Cuingse Trkaty.—We have seen a great deal said about Mr. Cushing’s recent diplomatic mission to China—its success, and the skillful manner in which the negotiations were conduc- ted. Great credit is awarded to Mr. Cushing for the tact, judgment and ability which he displayed in the business. No doubt, Mr. Cushing deserves much of what has been thus said in his praise; but we understand that the whole history of these ne- gotiations, which led to that treaty, has not yet been disclosed. It appears, trom a highly impor- tant and interesting correspondence—now on file in the navy department, we believe—that Commo- dore Kearney, who commanded the United States squadron in the Chinese seas, was a much more important agent in bringing ebout the completion of this treaty than any other personage. It will be recollected that Commodore Kearney commanded a equadron in the Chinese seas two or three years previousto Mr. Cushing’s mission; and itis a fact, which will be fully developed, when the correspondence alluded to sees the light, that he was, indeed, the means of bringing the Chinese government to their senses by the most potent arguments, and made them consent to forma treaty on the plan of the English, long before Mr. Cush- ing made his appearance in that field of diplomacy in which he has won so many laurels. All that Mr. Cushing had to do then, it would seem, was to carry out, and complete what had been so auspiciously commenced and agreed upon by Commodore Kearney and the Chinese government. We do not wish to detract at all from the glory to which the successful exercise of the great talents of Mr. Cushing justly entitles him, but truth is truth and justice is justice. The merits of Commodore Kearney in this mat- ter have been heretotore entirely concealed on the files of the Navy Department, but the time is com- ing, we trust, when the whole correspondence will be laid before the public, and then what we have stated will fully appear. The accomplishment of the treaty was, however, it is proper the public should know, most essentially aided by the skill and diplomacy of Commedore Kearney—the presence of the United States squadron—the im- posing appearance of our government vessels—and the effect of all this on the sensibilities of the Chinese. Wruiam H. Pork, raz Presipent’s BroTuer.— We perceive by our Washington correspondence that the President has re-nominated his brother for the post of Charges des Affaires at Naples, and the probability is that he will be confirmed by the Senate. At the first blush there might seem to be a want of delicacy in the new President thus pick- ing out his brother from the crowd of those drop- ped overboard during Tyler’s term, and probably such purists as the Richmond Enquirer and others may find fault with it, by turning a portion of grumbling to that from some other quarter. But we do not see anything very obnoxious or reprehen- sible in this act. Young Polk left Tennessee un- known to his elder brother, now the President, came to Washington, was an applicant for office under Tyler, was nominated to the Senate, and fell through amongst the other nominees which lingered there for months before the accession of the new President. During all this time, Pre: dent Polk knew nothing of the movements of his brother, and now he has been induced by a num- ber of the friends of his administration from all parts of the country, at Washington, to renew the nomination. We, therefore, do not perceive any impropriety inthe act, although probably there willbe a great deal said about it. Young Polk is perfectly qualified for the office; he is a gentleman- ly and high-minded person, and will very properly represent his government in Southern Italy. ‘Tammany Committee E:xctions.—In accord- ance with the resoiutions of the General Commit- tee of Tammany Hall, elections were held yester- day by the democrats in the several wards of the city to select delegates to nominate candidates for Mayor, Alderman, &c. Much excitement existed in the strong democratic wards, and especially in the Sixth, where there were four candidates for Assistant Aldermen. The delegates in tavor of John Foote, for Assistant, were elected by a small majority over his opponents, Henry E. Riell, Wil, liam Shaler, and Joseph Parker. In the Fifth, the committee in favor of Bmanuel B. Hart, for Al- derman, and Peter Dolan, for Assistant,was elected, and in the Fourth, the committee in favor of Jo- seph Divver, the present Assistant, secured the election of their ticket, which will give him the nomination for Alderman. The excitement in the other wards was not of the same interest, and therefore the result is less important. The promi- nent eandidates for Mayor are Messrs. Havemire, Jeremiah, Douglass, Coddington, &c., one of whom will be selected at the meeting of delegates to be held next week, and then the three parties will be fully represented with the heads of their tickets. A few days will develope the force of each party, and their mode of tactics for the spring contest. In the meantime, we shall prepare such an exposition of their plots and counterplots as will blow the tricksters in the game sky high.— Sournern Mait.—We hope that the new Post- master General will expedite the great Southern mail. There isno reason why it should not arrive before two o’clock every afternoon, instead of three and four o’clock, It now lays over three or four hours in Philadelphia. Oar merchants have suffered every inconvenience under the present ar- rangement. CanpipaTe ror Next Mayor.—At one of the meetings in the up-town wards, the name of Saul Alley was mentioned as a candidate for Mayor. A capital idea—a better man could not be selected. Put him up, and he will be put in. Anti-Rent Trovsies.—The trouble among the tenants seems to have been smothered only by the late military exhibition at Hudson. The Albany gee of yesterday, gives the annexed intelligence ot fresh demonstrations :— Kinaston, March 10, 1845, 6 o’clock, P. M. Our deputy sheriff, as was expected, was on Saturday last resisted in his attempt to arrest the persons engaged in the — upon Lasher. As he was entering the neigbborh« where the persons he was in quest of resid ed, near Cooper’s tavern, the horas were sounded, and a general concert was the consequence through the whole settlement, which, by the way, is in a remote part of our county, and joining on the counties of Greene and Dela- ware, about sixteen miles from Kingston, and in one of the eys formed by a spur from the Catski tains. ‘he sheriff on Monday immediately called on our citizens for assistance, and this oe fity from Kingston and 60 from Sar lett, lergthe command of the deputy sheriff, ‘for the vil- lage of Woodstock, which is very near the disaffected neighborhood. ‘The Kingston deputation lett our v Look out about 10 o'clock this mare, aad although there wasa 1 7 ing snow # roads Stnevtar Comcrpence.—The appoinment of Mr. Worst description, yet here rae 0 pion ineveine Bancroft as a member of Mr. Polk’s Cabinet has ee of the sheriff, and general spirit of emulation | created a Great deal of observation, and many of tine umbonter ungmoon Cag ined the small critics of the day have been lavish o! | seen shouldering their muskets and tramping of manful- their abuse and fruitful of their predictions of his want of capacity.

Louis Phillipe has at this moment one of the greatest philosophical historians of the ege at the head of his ministry—Guizot ; and tor- merly he had Thiers, also an eminent historian, in the same position. Mr. Bancroft, the best his torian of the United States, is now in nearly the same position in this government, and we have no doubt he has the elements of a statesman in asgreat abundance as either Thiers or Guizot. These facts forms a singular coincidence in the conduct of Louis Phillipe and President Polk. ly to support the law.

Crry Revoxm.—We fave tried all parties in the) Tux Wutos an tHe Naw ‘ADMINISTRATION = qarannegte st DS AMP hfe ec a We find among ourfegular files received by the packet ship Argo, Capt. Anthony, the Courrier dw Havre of the 24 ult. ‘That paper gives the following interesting intelli- gence :— The receipts of the Rouen aud Paris Railway have augmented between the 21st and 27:h Janua- ry, 37,105 iapok omeeee. with the corresponding period of 1844. Oathe’ Paris and Orleans railway, the augmentation from the 22d to the 28th January, was 18,712 francs. The frost which has set in after the snow, has made all communication with the interior more difficult than it has ever been before. Unusual ob- stacles have been met by the mails, and the coaches have performed their journeys with much difference in their time. By a letter from Paris, we learn that the Seine had risen ten feet, at which point navigation stops, and the banks are flooded. All the northern mails arrived each day unvsually late, on account of the snow. Session oy tHe Cuampen or Deruries.—The debate on the Police and alway Bill wascontin- ued, without any remarkable incident, yesterday, in the Chamber of Deputies; but a very important piece of intelligence was in circulation there, to the effect that the English cabinet, appreciating the gravity of the position of affairs, had consented to make some fresh concessions, of such a nature as to conciliate and calm both sides—to strengthen the administrations of the two countries, aud draw closer the links which bind the policy of France to that of England. i It is said, also, that the Secret Service Money Bill will not be presented to the Chambers until The Courier and Enquirer came out yesterday with an article rather in favor of Mr. Polk, and in a tone of friendliness to his administration, This isa very significant sign of the times. It is true, mixed up with the expressions of a disposition to deal in a spirit of candor and fairness towards the course of Mr., Polk, there were some bitter per- sonalities, and narrow-minded sarcasme, in thir article, which mey be readily enough traced to Mr. Charles King, who is now a spoke in the wheel of the Courter. But he is, afterall, only a small item in that establishment—a fly on the big wheel—and the article may be taken as pretty fair and intelligible evidence of the conduct agreed upon by the mass of the whigs with regard to the now administration. According to all appearances, a large section of the whig party intend to give Mr. Polk a fair and reasonable support—at least, for two or three years to come. That is the present policy of Mr. Web- ster and his friends at Wasaington. They have declared their determination to treat Mr. Polk and his administration with much more respect and even cordiality than they extended to Mr. Tyler in his latter days. This probably arises from the delight with which they have seen the setting aside of Mr. Calhoun, and, in some measure, of Mr. Van Buren, also, who are thus placed out of the line of the succession. But, on the other hand, the section of the whigs represented | after the reception of the speech at the opening of by the Tribwne, and the violent abolition | the British Parliament. organs of that party, have already given Important Lega, Deciston.—The Court of Cas- sation, M. Laplagne-Barris has decided a question of much importance for the Courts Marual. A dragoon of the fourth regiment, named Schwartz wasarraigned before the second council of War on the charge of having injured a building. belonging to the State, He addressed to the officers com- posing the council, and to the presiding Colonel of- lensive language, for which he was pronounced guilty of insult to his superior officers, and sentenc- ed to five years in sepnay which sentence the So- licitor General of the Court ot Cassation has de- clared invalid; that the officers of the council were in relation to the accused no longer superiors, but judges, and magistrates, and from that moment the insult given to them should be punished in a manner simply corrective—not with infamy attach- ed toit. The Court, after two hours of delibe tion, reversed the judgment of the court martial, and in favor of the accused. Sentence of 18 months imprisonment had been passed on a lapidary eed Viennot, who had pledged diamonds entrusted to him to [the amount of 150,000 francs. TransatLantic Pacxets.—One of the Paris journals has announced that the project of estab- lishing a line of transatlantic’steam packets has been abandoned, and that the minister of the ma- tine and the colonies, as a prelude to that act, has suppressed the bureaw of steam navigation, as a part of the central administration. Numerous modifications have doubtless been made in that branch of administrative labour be- longing to the minister of marine and colonies, and it 1s possible that M. Lasalle, formerly head of the steam packet bureau, may have been named to a post superior, and that M. Paulin, his assistant in the game bureaw, has passed into anothor with the same grade; allthat, if true, by no means proves that the project of establishing transatlantic packete is altogether abandoned. aN ‘ But what is certain, is, that modifications will be introduced into the special law instituting trans- atlantic packets, and determining their destina- tion. M., the minister of marine, injpresenting his budget, says ‘that no mention is made to what telates \o the packets constructed bythe ‘marine’ for transatlantic service, but that special proposi- ‘ions should be presented to the Chambres: by the government on this important question. = Moreover, it is universally known, by the dis- course pronounced by the Queen of Portugal in opening the session of the Cortes, by the discourse of the Emperor of Brazilto the two chambres of his empire, that a ti signed between Portugal and Brazil, obliges France to establish a line of transatlantic steam packets between one of our ports in the gulph of Gascony, to Lisbon, Madeira, the Cape de Verd Islands, Kio Janeiro, calling at Montevideo and Buenos Ayres, in La Piata. Finally, we are assured by our own correspon- dents, whom we know to be well informed, that the minister of the marine and colonies, is serious- ly cepoyed in considering certain [epee made by commercial houses in Havre for the esta- blishment, by means of a loan, of a line of packets between “Havre and the United States, and Havre and the West Indies. Thus we have more than enough proof to show, that if the law of 1840 is not to be executed in all its letter and spirit, it is not the intention of government to regard it as not to come, which it could not do otherwise ; but to modify it, to ar- range it, and render it practicable. The minister who has not receded before any demand of funds, for developing aad multiplying steam communice- tion in the interior of France, in making every- where railways, cannot be ignorant that he has also contracted obligations to maritime commerce. It isin fact, a shame to remain as we are, whether in a state of dependence on England for our trans- atlantic correspendence, or in the obli; ation to have recourse to four men and a corporal, in order to obtain captains of sailing vessels to take charge us aspecimen of the rabid ferocity with which they meau to carry on the opposition. This sec- tion intend to avail themselves of the opportu- nity to be afforded by the completion of the Texas movement, now ia the hands of the administra- tion, for the purpose of raising a great outcry about slavery, and thus to impede, as ‘much as poasible, the course of Mr. Polk. But the intelligentand judicious members of the whig party entertain on this matter of the comple- tion of the Texas movement, the same views as are held by allsensinle men, North and South ; and, hence, there will be a very interesting and eventful division in the whig party with respect to its action towards the administration. We are thus promised, on all hands, a very exciting and interesting period of political movement and com- motion. Tue Park Tueatrs.—Last evening this house was very well filled, and among the audience we observed a number of the greatest admirers and most valued supporters of the legitimate drama in thiscity. The first piece was Buckstone’s new co- medy of ‘*Green Bushes, or a Hundred Years Ago,” for the second time, in which, as might have been expected, the different performers show- ed evidence of being more aw fait in their parts, and many of the scenes were greatly applauded. The piece throughout does not Jack for interest, and the incidents are numerous and thrilling. It will doubt- less have a long run, for ail who have seen it once will be desirous of doing so again. The evening’s amusement closed with the comedy of ‘ Used Up,” in which Mrs. Dyott and Mr. W. H. Crisp drew down great applause, and were highly suc- cessful. With such pieces and personation of cha- racter, Old Drury will be as attractive as it ever was in its most palmydays, for there is a sufficient spirit: of admiration remaining for what is truly talented to be well supported. Let only the enter- prising managers continue as they have begun and their success will be equal to their wishes. Frencn Atiantic Steamers.—It willbe seen, on reference to the news from France, published in another column, that there is yet an excellent chance of having a line of ocean steamers to run between this port and Havre.

It was put in for defence that the back part of the build- ing referred to was so very much dilapidated, that, instead of injuring the plaintift, the defendant was doing him aser- vice, from the improvements he had executed ; also, that he had previously obtained the consent of Mr. Bulwer, the real owner, andthe other tenants ; and, in conclu- sion, that so far back as 1841, he had obtained a Ie Lie cense from plaintiff himself. ‘Tae Court charged, that a» the parties were tenanta in common, the exclusive bo priation of any part of the premises by any one of the tenants would in itself be an act of trespass ; if a tenant interferes with the landlord, who is himself a co-tenant, the landlord has no right to bring action for a breach of lease until the expiration of the term; that any of the tenants might institute proceedings for the damages he may have sustained. Defendant argues that plaintiff had been}denefi'ted instead of being injured ; if the Jury came to that conclusion, then they would award their damages trerane': The jury rendered a verdict for the plain- of $26.
