NEW YORK HERALD. New York, Saturday, March 29, 1845, PICTORIAL WEEKLY HERALD. Neene in the New Comedy, “Fashion.” The HW eékly Mlustrated Herald, to be published this morning, will contain a very beautiful en- graving of one of the most interestiag scenes in the new comedy so successful at the Park, with portraits of Miss Eihs, Mr. Chippendale, and Mr. Crisp. Price only 63 cents. a Mr, Polk’s Administration—Its Prospects and Probable Destiny. The new administration is nearly a month old. President Polk has chosen his cabinet, and made a considerable number of appointments. All the bustle and tumult of the inauguration week has subsided, and only the more desperate of the men- dicants cry aloud in the streets of Washington.— So, then, now that the administration has been en- tirely organized and has fairly commenced 1s career, the natural aad universal inquiry 1s, what are its prospects? How isit likely toend? What is the character, what the complexion, and what the good or evil fortune, which circumstances and events are likely to inflict upon it ? in speculating on the probable destiny of the pre- sent administration, eome assistance, in forming Fational cenjectures, may be derived froma review of the history of the two administrations which immediately preceded it. Mr. Van Buren com- menced his term of office with very flattering pros- pects of marked success. But the sky very early become clouded. It was soon apparent that the administration was in the hands of a cligue—or rather the fag-end of a cligue. If an administration clique be strong enough, and direct its movements with consummate prudence, boldness and sagacity, itis all very well. Like the rod of the prophet, that swallowed up all the rods of the magi, it may eat up and digest at its leisure the emaller fry ; but ifits powers of devouring and assimilation be weak, it must per necessity knock under, and itself add one to the number of victims. So it was with the Van Buren cl*que. Formidable rivals quickly sprung forth into active and formidable vigor, and aided besides by favorable changes in the popular gale, the regular opposition party, the whigs, taking up aman of great personal popularity, swept the country like a tornado, and dismissed Mr. Van Buren to eternal retirement. Mr. Tyler’s administration, on the other hand, presented rather a singularanomaly. It embodied, from first to last, a greater amount of talent than ‘was perhaps ever enlisted in the service of any for- mer administration. With Webster as the master spirit of its beginning, and Calhoun of its close, the administration of Mr. Tyler, so far as regarded its foreign policy, was eminently vigorous, popular, and successful. But yet, in all that related to its domestic influence and power, it was almost contemptible. And yet there was a period when even Mr. Tyler might have laid, broad and deep, the foundations of an administration party, that would have resisted the assaults of very opponent. The folly, weakness, and erring judg- ment, which produced the signal failure of that ad- ministration to obtain a commanding position, are, however, too fresh in the public recollection, to re- quire now any more particular reference. Keeping before us this retrospective view, let us now look at the position of the administration at present in power. Mr. Polk came into the White House under peculiar circumstances. He was se- lected not exactly en account of his personal cha- racter or associations, but because he possessed the negative qualification of not being the representa- tive of any particular cligue—a qualification which the condition of the democratic party rendered of paramount importance and value. He was also presented to the people as a pledged candidate— bound to adopt and carry out prescribed issues and principles. And thus hy common consent of the contending factions, he received their united sup- port, and under his flag the demoeratie party de- feated Henry Clay. But the elements of dis- turbance and division in the ranks of the party that elected Mr. Polk, were not expelled, they were only quieted for atime. His election was hardly secured, when the contending factions were quar- relling and squabbling, and intriguing with, if pos- sible, greater bitterness and activity than ever. Already the manifestations of discontent and hostility are threatening in the extreme. In many quarters disapprobation is openly ex- pressed relative to the manner in which Mr. Polk is distributing the spoils. He is denounced for not making removals, and he is charged with discovering unjust favoritism in bestowing appoint- ments—with giving offices only to his relatives and personal friends, instead of supplying, with a profuse and bountiful hand, the cravings of the old cliques. 4 Thus, in the all-important business of distributing the spoils, the new administration begins to meet discontent and opposition. But then, again, we are to recollect that the Texas question is still un- settled—that the party that elected Mr. Polk are divided on it—that the North and South can never agree on the terms on which Texas is to be admit- ted into the Union. Here is indeed a prolific source of diequiet, trouble, confusion, hostility and failure to the new administration. There, then, ie the tariff question. On this, also, the North and South are divided. Whatever course the adminis- tration may adopt with regard to the tariff, it cannot expect unanimity of support from its own party. But besides all this, we have yet to enumerate that political element of discord and disunion, the struggle for the ‘‘suc- cession.” The various cligues—the Calhoun clique, and the Cass clique, and the Benton clique, and the Johnson clique, and the Buchanan clique, and the Dallas clique, are all in the field—all opposed to each other—all unscrupulous—all selfish—all bitter —and all resolutely bent in accomplishing their se- veral schemes, be the consequences what they may. Every one of these cliques will be organiz- ing in the next Congress, and the propable prospect is that the administration will find itself in a mi- nority in the House. Such then is the prospect before Mr. Polk and his Cabinet. It is certainly not remarkably cheer- ing. There are clouds and blackness, and distant muttering thunder, and ominous flashes in the darkening heavens. How the new administration may carry itself through the tempest it is difficult to foretell. But that it has a tempestuous time be- fore it, every body can see, and we confess that the present would seem to indicate that leng be- fore the next four years have been ndded to the world’s age, this administration may be in a con- dition as shattered, powerless and forlorn, as that of poor, despised, buried Mr. Tyler. S«etcngs or THE Pannsyivanta CLency.—We have already given one or two biographical sketches of eminent Episcopal clergymen in Pennsylvai which have attracted a good deal of attention, and we have a fresh batch on hand which we will pub- lish as fast as possible. These sketches derive great additional interest from the fact that a Bishop is soon to be chosen in that diocese, to supply the place of one of the Onderdonks. We will also be prepared, by and by, to give similar sketcbes of prominent Episcopal clergymen in New York, so that the faithful in both dioceses may know where to find their next Right Reverend fathers. Maits ror Evrors.—The steam ship Cambria will leave Boston next Tuesday for Liverpeol.— Her letter bags close in this city on Monday after- noon. Sream Prom ExGtann.—The old favorite Great Western, Captain Matthews, leaves Liverpool to- day for NewYork. In two weeks she will be here. From Havar.—The packet ship Francois Ist, Captain Wheden, arrived last night trom Havre, with dates of the Jat instant, . Stearns, Bost Peters, Baltimore ; E. A. Aylmer, Reading ; R. Voris, Sing Sing. Awrut axp Suppgn Catamity—Ning Parsons Drownsp.—On Wednesday evening, Geo. Rock- felle, his wife and daughter; Mr. ,Saulpagh, son aud daughter; Andrew Hawon, and two other persons, who all resided at Germantown, Columbia county, were returning home from Hud- son in a small boat, in tow of the steamboat Fair- field, and when opposite to their residence, the line was cast off, and they attempted to row to the shore. The South America, coming down at the instant, the night being very dark and a heavy wind blowing from the south, ran over the small boat, turning every soul into the river, and they were drowned. The South America immediately stopped, and made diligent search, but nothing could be found except a few articles which had been in the boat. The davghter of Mr. Rockfelle had been married but a short time, and part of her outfit had been purchased at Hudson and was in the boat. Her husband was standing on the shore awaiting their arrival, but nothing was known on shore that night of their sad fate. The next morn- ing some persons were dispatched to Hudson, and when finding them gone, search was made, and the broken pieces of the boat were found along shore. We understand that the pilot of the South America says that he saw nothing of the boat until he heard a scream immediately under the bow of the steam- boat. He rang the bell to stop the boat, but it was too late. Tue TusareicaL Revivat at THE Park.—There was another crowded house at the Park last night. Everything, indeed, appearsjto indicate that agreat theatrical revival has commenced in this city. The audiences at the Park are the best, both in charac- ter and numbers, that we have witnessed since the tume of Edmund Kean’s appearance. att’s comedy has been quite a hit. amusing to hear the manner in which the play- going people are discussing questions as to the identity of personages in real life among the ‘upper ten thousand,’” with those who figure in the come- dy. aclub in Yorkshire. The Doctor, in his ‘ Idler,” had drawn one of these country clubs so exactly to the life, that the members of one in Yorkshire despatched a most abusive letter to him, threaten- ing him with a prosecution for libel. Mrs. Mow- It is very It reminds us of the story of Dr. Johnson and Now that this revival has taken place in thea- tricals, we trust that the Park management will improve it with diligence and tact. They ought now to have another new play in preparation, and make arrangementsfor a regular succession of new and populer pieces. It will not do to fall back into the old system. Messrs. Simpson and Barry must not sleep on their oars. There appears decidedly now to be “a tide in the affairs” of the Park, which if properly improved, will * lead to fortune.” Breatuine Nuisances at St. Tuomas Cuvcru.— EverySunday ascorejor two ofsickly looking young men, bttired in the extreme of fashion—like jour- neymen tailors on a Sunday excuraion—may be seen standing outside of the vestibule of St. Tho- mas’ Church, about the close of morning service. It seems they congregate there for the purpose of staring at the ladies as they pass out, and annoying them by their impertinence. The poor creatures are not worthy of notice, but if the sweet ladies who have complained to us of their conduct, really think the evil of sufficient importance to justify its immediate removal, Jet them instruct their papas or their brothers to apply to the consta- ble, who canat once act under the ordinance for the removal of nuisances from the sidewalks. Travet To Evrorg.—We understand that the splendid packet ship Liverpool, commanded by the popular Eldridge, has many of her state rooms en- gaged. She sails hence on the 2lst of April.— More Americans will visit Europe this season than ever before in any one year. ARRIVAL OF A FiEET.—Quite a fleet of vessels came into port yesterday, and presented a fine ap- pearance in the Lower Bay. They came from Eng- land, Africa, China, indeed, from all parts of the world, and all after short passages. Beautiful packet ships, a fine sloop of war, and clipper brigs and schooners were in the fleet. Morsk’s TgLrararu.—The rooms for the exhi- bition of the electric telegraph presents one of the most attractive and interesting lounges in this city. Just step up stairs at 563 Broadway, and be delight- ed, instructed, and astonished by the working of this magical means of communication. Sumer WeatuEr.—Yesterday was an oppres- sively warm and dry day. The city was enveloped in a cloud of dust. Movements of i'raveliers. The influx of travellers, more especially from the South, exceeded at the generality of the prin- cipal hotels, the average of the last tew days.

Beckman, arrived yesterday mor- ning in ninety-nine days from Canton. Weflhave the; Hong Kong Register, of the 17th of December— five days later thau received by the Montauk. There appears to be little or news. China was quiet. {tseems shat piracies in the China seas are as common as burglaries in this city. ‘The English have opened their criminal court at Hong Kong. Three Chinamen were tried for burg- lary. This is carrying ‘ civilization” to a practi- cal point in China. : American cheap publications were advertised in the China papers. [From the Hong Kong Register of Dec 17.) Piracies appear to be nearly of as frequent ocourrence thia winter as robberies in Hong Kong were during the Jast. We hear fromMacao thatjth« on her last pas- sage lost three men in an engagement with the Ladrones, which lasted two hours. Fortunately she had a double crew of Manilla men on board,{but for which she would have been taken. A Lorcha had been picked up off Nine Islands without any one on board, and with marks of violence on the§ deck, and towed into Macao. An alarm had been occasioned by the appearance of a piratical boat in the Typa, but finding they were discovered, found it convenient to make off. The frequency of such attempts renders it necessary that some strong as well as immo: diate measures should be adopted to put a stop to them.— Deeds of dishonesty have always been more frequent in China immediately before the new year, end the impunity which they have so i enjoyed will naturally stimulate them to atte: more anne There is nodoubt muck ditticulty in showing what is the best method for sup- pressing such combinations whose correct intelligence ramifications on shor ‘ations are set about, unless some energetic 0} soon find ourselves ina of blockade, so far at passage boats, Lorchas, and small schooners are concern- A circular has been published by the Government of Macao, intimating that all vessels in the Typa will after the 26th inat. be subject to the new regulations.

Lieut. Greene, of bis H. M. 8. Plover was buried on the morning of the 4th inst. and several officers were off duty. The vessels arriving at Shanghai from Singapore,.Ma- lacca, Penang,Java, Jolo,Sumaira, Borneo, &c.,and which are entered at the custom house as; coming from Fuh- kien or Canton bring bs be goods of all kinds, opium, flints, pepper, shark’s fins, deers’ horns, cochineal, les, nails, nutmegs, liquid and dried indigo, bicho de mar, birds’ nests, mother of pearl shells, tortoise shells, ivory, buffaloes’ humps, sugar canes, betel nut, sa] wood, ebony, iron, lead, gold thread, and all kinda of wood for spars, ornamental fragrant, as well as materials for dying and medicine coming from the Red sea, the Persian or Indian and the Isles of Polynesia. The ships of the north, that is those which return to Quantung, Shensing and Leatorg carry away cotton, some tea, paper, silks, and cotton stuffs from Nanking and Suchan ; European goods and flints, opium, and a great part of the sugar, , bicho de mar and birds’ nests, &c., which the ves: passing under the name of Fub- kien and Canton bring to Shanghai. Some ef them how- ever return in ballast. These last mentioned vessels return with cargoes of cottton, earthenware and porcelian, (especially for For- mosa) salted pork, green tea, raw and manufactured silks, native cotton cloth, blankets, hemp, dried pulse of various kinds, fruits, and part of the goods brought by the vessels from the north. There is besides an interchange of a vast number of articlesj connected with the coasting trade, such as bes- kets, shoes, charcoal and coal, wood, straw, pipes, tobac- co, gypsum, varnish, umbrellas, mats, lantorns, sacks, sponges, fruits, vegetables, &c. There come besides to Shanghai, by the Yangtzekiang and its branches, vessels from various ports, amounting in all to 5,400 annually. These never put out to sea, but convey into the interior the goods brought by vessels fromthe south and the north, as well entre port from. the interior the goods to be despatched by these vessels.— In addition to the vessels employed in the inland neviga- tion, and those which go to sea, amounting,’ as has been shown, to 7,000, there are at Shanghai innumerable boats and barges employed in fishing and in conveying pas- sengers and foods. It may be inferred from the foregoing description, that Shanghai is not only a point of great trade in imports and exports, but also an emporium where there is an ex- change ef national and foreign commodities between the southern and northern parts ofthe Empire. From the Hong Kong Register, Dec. 10.] Of the six men belonging to the crew of the Hannah, who disappeared during the attack of the irate, as mentioned in our last number, we are appy to learn that three have reached Macao, having saved themselves in the ship’s boat. When the pirate left them, the chief mate attempted to swim to the Hannah, which was still close at hand, but must have sunk. As nothing has been hear of the ether two, there seems no reason to doubt that they shared the same melancholy fate. After leaving the Hannah, the pirates made an attack on the Joven Corinna, which was fortunate- y better. prepared for their reception. Several jots were exchanged, one of which carried away the mainmast of the junk, disabling her from con- tinuing the pursuit. “ Kiying’s present standing seems to be a matter of some uncertainty. In an edict, published in the Peking Gazette for Aug.15, he was re-invested with honors which many months since were previously taken from him,lim consequence of certain revenue money, in his eld government in Liang Bieta, being unpaid. But the money having been paid, his honors have been restored. ere are new rumors unfavorable to his good standing, but they need confirmation. f The Royal Senate of Macao, under the superin- tendence of the Governor, and the assistance of the Judge, makes known to the public— _ Ist. That are admitted, to the deposit at the custom house of this city, cotton and all other goods and articles from Europe and America, im- ported by any vessels from the ports, in and out, of the Cape of Good Hope, paying the deposit du- ties of one per cent., on the value of the goods, as stated in the tariff; and in the like manner, the godown rent and coolie hire, as established at the custom-house ; such goods as have no valuations levied on them in the tariff, will be subject to the duties, according to the value of their original in- voices, regulating the exchange as per sketch at the said department. : Qd. The deposit is thus understood: six months for all manufactured goods from Europe and America, and three months for cotton, beginning to count ten days from the first landing of the goods at the custom-house. _ 3d. All such goods as remain to be cleared at expiration of the time allowed in the section fore- going, are from thence subject to be. cleared for consumption, paying their duties gin full with the privilege of being re-exported, should parties wish 80. 3 [From Pekin Gazette.] ‘ The failure of the harvest, the shock communi- cated by the foreign war, which is still felt, anda variety of circumstances of a smaller nature, have thrown many people out of employment and pre- vented them from gaining a livelihcod. The im- Mediate consequence of such a disastrous state of affairs has been the formation of numerous bande of robbers, who prowl about in every district and become more and more formidable every day. Anti-Rent 1n Scuonanie County.—We have the following information from correspondents and verbal reliable sources: On Monday last, the She- riff of Schoharie county and under Sheriff Bouck, proceeded to the towns of Blenheim and Jefferson to serve warrants and collect rent. It is supposed that they succeeded in serving the warrants. To- wards evening, they returned to Fink’s tavern at North Blenheim, and put up fer the night. tween8 and 9 o’clock, a party of about twenty-five persons, disguised as Indians, and fully armed, en- tered the house, instantly seized the Sheriff and Under Sheriff, and without allowing them to put on their hats, pushed them out of the house. At the door they were joined by the entire party, con- sisting of 150 persons, disguised, and armed with pistols, muskets, tomahawks and knives; of the muskets, 75 were counted with bayonets. Having supplied the Sheriff and Deputy with Jadian caps, they were placed in the centre of the party, and marched some four miles up the Westkill, and thence to the summit of the mountainin the woods, a remote and dreary place. There they held a puw-wow around them, after having searched them unsuccesetully for papers; and at about 2 o’clock at night they marched back to Fink’s, where they left them, without further molestation. On the route, going and returning, the Sheriff was pricked some fifteen times with the bayonet, either for walking too quick or toe slow, and his foot and leg were much bruised.—A/b. Argus, March 27.

We give a letter from our corresondent at Port Praya, containing some sad intelligence to many a family in the United States. Unirep States Sur Presre, } Porto Granpg, Feb. 3, 1845. J now hail the opportfinity of furnishing you with a detail of the sad calamity which has befallen this ship, since we came on the coast of Africa. As soon as we joined the equadron at Port Praya, under the command of Commedore M. C. Perry, he despatched us down on the coast to a place called Bissao, a small miserable cluster of mud huts, situated on a river of the same naine, and in- habited by Portuguese negroes, who reside there for the purpose of trading with the natives, or bushmen, as they are commonly termed; and who are continually at war with the inhabitants of the village, whose chief protection isa small tort, to- gether with about twenty soldiers inthe Portu- Guese service. As soon as we arrived there, we anchored in close to the town, so as to bring our armament to bear upon the enemy, who was noc- turnally assailing the place. Thousands came in from the woods, and pitched their tents in a low valley, a little way from the town, where they were secure from the guns of the tort ; but they were little aware that we were awaiting their on- set to hostilities. About sundown they began to make a movement towards the town, when we sent a few of our iron heralds, which soon made them abandon their projects, and brought to mind that there was a charm in Yankee mettle. They renewed the attack in a few days after from a quarter where our shot could not reach them; but the launch was in readiness in a moment’s notice. We lay there only three weeks, when the ship’s company began to get the fever, although there was every precaution taken to prevent it. The Commodore sent five}Kroomen on board to commu- nicate with the shore whenever necessary; the men_ had little work to do—the ship was well ventilated, and every thing resorted to that would in any way contribute towards health. The men were taken sick very fast, and the Captain deemed it prudent to withdraw the ship from there and join the Commander again at Port Praya ; when we arrived, there was the Captain, one midshipman, forty-four seamen on the sick list with the fever. The command then devolved on the first Lieuten- ant. Assoon as the Commander was acquainted with the condition of the men and an overhaulin; from the fleet Surgeon we came to this place, an on our arrival there were seventy-six on the sick list, the first Lieutenant and Sailing Master inclu- ded, and then the command fell on C. W. Picker- ing, who deserves great praise for his zeal and at- tention in such a time of need. ._ This place in appearance is most wretched look- ing, indeed; not a vestige of any kind of vegita- tion or shrubs greet the eye of the stranger. It is the most desolate looking place I ever saw The town is composed of some fifty or sixty rudely con- structed mud cabins, and although the duty on glass did find its way there, yet you cannot muster twen- ty equares of glass in the whole place. The Con- sul’s and Governor’s houses bears some marks of distinction. The natives are all convicts. There were {three spare houses on shore which the Doc- torrented and had thesick removed tothem. When we left the Commodore, he promised to follow us in a few days. The day after wearrived Mid.Smith died, who was first on the list of dceased; in afew days two more died. There was no burying ground onshore of any sort; there were a few graves (which belonged to some English and French men of war) in an open common, exposed to the tram; ing of mules, goats and jackasses. As soon as the Commodore came, he purchased a lot and had a neat parapet wall built around it with a handsome rail ‘on top, with a cross on each angle and one over the gateway. This precaution has beer taken inorder to secure the cemetery from any molesta- tion on the part of the natives, who would not pay the least reverence to it were it not forthe precau- tions. On the extremity of the cemetery is a some twenty feet high, with a rattle snake around it and an eagle at its summet, which we are taking to Tenerifie. to get Each grave has a handsome head board with an epitaph indicating the name and le of its occupant, and of what disease he died. There is a email foot board also with the initials of the deceased’s name on it; the Englishman’s grave was taken in with oure, and the head boards recti- fied as the epitaph was nearly illegible. The boat- swain of this ship, Mr. Samuel Drew, whe laid out and superintended the plan of the burying grou! represented to the Commodore the necessity 0! having some shrube planted within the cemetery ; and having the graves, avenue and paths paved to secure them from the inclemency of the rainy sea- son, which, while it lasts, comes down as if through a seive, without intermission. The com. modore approved of it, and accordingly there was a subscription list made out, and every man in the ship sick and in health contributed more or less each according te their respective des. As there was uo chaplain on board, the om |conferred the office on the boatewain, (Mr. Drew,) who fulfilled his part remarkably well; and after he got through with the funeral service, he gave alittle comment of his own, touching the good or bad qualities of the departed, and at the same time reminding us of that summons which steals a march upon us. He expatiated so warml, on our negligence towards religious duties, that saw many a tear trickling down the weather beaten cheeks of some hoary headed tars, whose hearts and souls (towards their duty to their Ma- ker) seemed as callous and as hatdas marble. When the Commodore was about to leave here, he procured a large supply of paving stones, had them conveyed to the burial place, and gave our boats orders to have the graves and paths secured.

West, aged about 80 years, and her grandson, Henry Swink, aged about 12 years, living about four miles north this place.

The fire was first discovered by the neighbors about di Uy erg it had so far progress- edthatit was impossible to arrest the entire des- truction of the dwelling, smoke-house and crib, together with all their contents. The bodies of the unfortunate old lady and her grandson were not discovered until a late hour ; indeed for a while it was hoped that they had escaped from the burning edifice. A jury of inquest aving been summoned to the spot, after due examination foundthat the deceased had come to their deaths by the violence of some unknown person or per- sons on the morning of Thursday, and that the building was then fired.

The resolution having been put, was carried unanimously. A number of gentlemen then put down their names to investigate the — possibility, &c., of the aflair, and in the meanwhile, others requir: in- formation on the subject might have it by applying at the office of Mr. ‘Charles, 18 Wall street; or at the office of Mr. Clirehugh, Broadway.

Mr. Gnanam here contended thet all that occurred be- tween witness and the prisoner on the occasion referred to should be allowed in—as counsel for the prosecution pped short there, with the view te produce the impres- sion that the prisoner, by leaving Waite’s store five min- utes after her visit on Tuesday, was disposed to flee; now, if the witness were allowea to give the full explanation, it would produce a very different impression; as they would oe alae show that when informed of being suspected she oa she would at once go down to Staten Island and meet it. Mr. Wuitna.—The counsel has stated to the court what was not the fact. They intended to show that she lett there with another in. They were not bound to give the :leclarations of prisoner in evidence—the expla- nation which was sought to be given, could be easily got out in the cross-examination. After some turther argument, the Court ruled out for {he present, at thesame time stating that it would cer- tainly be admitted at a latter stage of the 8.
