Great Excrremenr Amonast THR Savans or Tux Historica, Socrery—Imrortant Daseussion. Now that the great Presidential election Bas been fairly settled, a great revival has already commen- ced in everything connected with literature,science and the arts. A very marked indication of this gratifying state of things was afforded by the re- cent meeting ofthe NY. Historical Society. That learned and highlyrespectable body,or at least a por- tion of its members, has just engaged in the achiev- tment of a project which is calculated to ettract the energies of the most aspiring, patriotic and literary ambition—nothing more nor less, in fact, than the obtaining of a name for this country. The excite- ment on this subject has reached a point of great intensity. Since the melancholy truth burst upon the mind of Mr. Field, that we really had no na- tional name,he has scarcely given p to his eyes or slumber to his eye-lids, and his elaborate ‘“‘re- port,” read at the last meeting of the Society, has thrown all the literati quite into a fever. A country without a name! The idea is fright- ful. Why there is now hardly a solitary isle in the watery waste that is destitute of a name, and that this vast republic, already covering such an im mense portion of one of the great divisions of the earth,and which is stretching out its hands in every direction, like the immortal parish boy, asking for more, should be absolutely nameless, is agonizing. Itis true, it has got a sort of an appellation, which is known in some obscure quarters, but it has no “travelling name.” A “United Stateser,” Mr. Field contends, is most decidedly, in foreign parts, like that of the haunted inn in La Somnambula, ‘‘ra- ther an eminous name.” Well, perhaps Mr. Field maybe right there,but we do not agree with him that the present unfortunate appellation of the country presents an insurmountable obstacle to its poetic immortality. How can we, when we have so fresh in our memory that beautiful ode, commencing— If | wes President of these United States, T’d lick “lasses candy and swing upon the gates? We gave, in our report of the proceedings on this exciting subject, at the late meeting of the Historical Society, only a mere idea of the intensi- ty of the feeling with which it is regarded, and the enthusiasm with which the discussion is now car- tied on in the literary circles. Nothing at all to equal the interest and excitement in this matter, nas been known, since the memorable controversy between Laurie Todd, and his friend “ the Bai- lie” In the midst ofall the bustle and to-do which so many things occasioned, as the old man and I were one eveniog sitting cheerfully on the bench at the door, conversing of what was to be done, thet affliction, Mi with his peering eyes, and sat dewn unbid “ Weel, gentlemen,” said-he, “ what’st tend to bestow on that capital city e ery body. going to build.

NEW — —— New York, Thursday, April % The New Popular Movement and the Wall Street Press. The great popular movement in opposition to the influence of all religious sectarianism ia political contests, and for the conservation and advance- ment of the original principles of the constitution, or'ginated by the democratic whigs at National Hall, continues to progress with a degree of strength and eathusiasm such as we have rarely, if ever, witnessed amongst the masses of the people. Mr. Selden attracts in every ward immense audiences, amongst which many of the locofocos and great numbers of neutral men mingle. So far as popular feeling and sympathy go, this new progressive movement of the whig party carries with it the most encouraging inuivations of future success and triumph. One of the most remarkable teatures of this movement is presented in its acuion on the Wall street press. The Courier and Enquirer, which, for a lengthened period, has affected to represent the whig party, has been denounced in the moet pointed, indignant and determined manner in a number of the wards, and the determination to re- pudiate, entirely, the Wall street organs, appears to have been resolutely formed by the masses of the whigs of this city. This is, indeed, singularly sig- nificant. This discovers, in the best possible man- ner, that the present movement isa practical one —that it is the growth of no ephemeral, local, tran- s.tory excilement,—but that it is the work of great original principles, operating on the popular mind, aid directing it to a new, energetic, and enlightened curse of action with respect to political affairs.— We are thus informed, in the most unequivoca) manner that the wjJug masses are determined no longer to submit to the dictation of a press con- ducted on the antiquated and exploded notions of a past age—that there is in fact now in progress, a general up- heaving of the original elements of so- ciety, like that up-heaving of the crust of the earth which Professor Lyell describes. The whigs of this city, then, arenow awakening to a full conviction of that truth which we have been enforcing upon them for yeare—that this Wall street prees, with its controlling stock-jobbing in- fluences, was their worst enemy. Has not the whole history of that press shown that it was an agency full of mischief and evil to the whig cause ? ‘Tuke the Courier forexample. Has it had one single characteristic which ‘should save it from the de- nunciations now poured out against it by the party it professed to serve ? Not one. This vascillating, inconsistent, wavering, unstable, intriguing, sel. fish course, has been notorious. It has shifted and twisted, and turned, and played such fantastic tricks as have often made, if mot the angels, at least poor whigism weep. In all the elements which constitute @ servicable party organ, the Courier has been utterly wanting. A newspaper, to be the efficient ally of a political party, must poasess an influence on public opinion. But what power of controlling, or directing, or creating popu- Jar impulses, can such a paper as the Cowrier— the organ of a mere cligue of dabblers and gamb- lers in stocke,—possess? None. The only ire ae better, for there ain’t yetno Samary in healthy and effeetive popular movement to {By Jerusalem and Jericho!” cried Mr. Hoskins, a * . fy *; “Watton ery recommendatory name—not another of which it has ever contributed is that just now } 1° omein all Soman T thanks the Squice for the hint, commerced, which will, we are confi- fen. ae sa dbalaeia soko tssata . + i ‘ise is was enol to provoke ie él 3 am said, dent, ultimately rid the whig party of the mis- ugurely, Me. Homing, Lies by yourself, to think for ¢ chievous influence that the Cowrier has produced by its more than usually impudent attempt to inter- fere with the purposes of the whig masses. If the new revolution, originated hy Mr. Selden, were to produce no other good to the whigs, than this decided and enthusiastic condemnation and repudiation of the Wall street press, they would indeed have abundant cause for rejoicing. Whig- ism is now apparently in a transition state, becom- ing the true progressive democracy of the age — This cutting loose fromthe corrupt and treacheroue stock-jobbing organs of Wall street, is one of the most encouraging tokens of the change that we have yet seen. Mayor Harrer’s Manrrrsto.—His Honor the Mayor issued a manifesto yesterday, contradicting a report that he had made speeches in the wards— avery unnecessary contradicti as no one said that he had, except somebody in an obscure penny paper. Butif Mr. Harper has not made speeches in the wards, he has made speeches to deputations from the wards, occasionally, by deputies selected from his Marshals, who have always a speech rea- dy for him, either on their tongue or in their pecket. His Honor, however, takes occasion to speak, in this manitesto, of his great achievements in ot- fice, in serving his constituents, at whose expense he solemnly declares he has eaten only one meal. Pray, what has Mr. Harper really done? We know of no official act of his important enough to be named, except the immortal project of the ti pans fastened to stakes round the Park Fountain, on the fourth of July. Mr. Harper is indeed, as a private citizen, a most excellent, moral and pious man, Buthe is much more at home, and finds a much more appropriate sphere for the exercise of his talents, as the head of a publishing house, chat- ting with authors, joking with the craft at trade sales, or retailing his anecdotes, with his feet up, by the side of a cheerful winter’s fire, than as the chief magistrate of the great metropolis of the Union.

But I have been aground afore for a name to our settle ment—what think you of Volcano?

We do trust that this exciting discussion in the Historical Society will be speedily and successful. ly terminated. Mr. Field hasabundant precedent in his favor. Do we not all know that the name ot ‘‘Musquito Cove,” up the East River, was changed to “Glen Cove,” and that by the new ap- pellation it has ever since been designated by all who navigate that stream? Do persist, good Mr. Field, in giving us a name—let us be no longer a “horrible shadow—an unreal mockery,” a people without a name! TreatricaL anp MusicaL.—The success of the new comedy at the Park is really remarkable Last night there was not a single vacant seat in the boxes. Dianeford is very busy preparing for the produc- tion of the great Greek tragedy ‘ Antigone,” at Palmo’s elegant theatre. This will be quite a novel dramatic entertainment, and will, we have no doubt, attract here as large and as fashionable: au, diences asin London. It will be produced under the competent direction of Mr. George Vandenhoff, and will give us a correct and adequate idea of the theatre, passions, costume, and opinions of ancient Greece. There is not much doing in the musical world just now, so faras this city is concerned. Several concerts have been given of late, at which Pico, Sanquirico, and one or two other members of the late Italian troupe have assisted. Valtellina is rusticating at Bloomingdale. He has there a beau- tiful little cottage, and three acres of land, and in- stead of cultivating music, he is raising tomatoes and cabbages, bringing up chickens, and minister. ing to the wants of a numerous progemy of pro- mising little pigs. He pays $200 a year for his cot- tage and farm, and lives on it like a prince, the only drawback being the death of a valuable horse, on which he used to ride to the Opera every even: ing, and which fell a victim to a distemper that baffled the skill of all the doctors at Harlem. Korponay is at Washington, and prosperous of course. It seems thatthe Mies Pray who danced at Desjardin’s berefit was not a pupil of his, but of that lady. ————_——_ Devgat or Tue Native Amentoan Party IN Wriiiamssurcu.—This election took place on Tuesday. The democratic candidate for supervi- sor was clected by 90 majority. The whigs and natives voted for one candidate. The entire de- mocratic ticket was also elected. The votes were as follows: —_—_ Tug Recent FarcicaL Dust in Pariapevrsia —There is a great deal of talk about the farcical duel, orattemptat a duel in Philadelphia, in which Colonel Webb, according to all accounts, figured as one of theseconds. The Colonel appears to have forgotten the peculiar position in which he stands with respectto the law against duelling. He was saved from the State Prison forjfighting a duel, only on his solemn pledge that he never would in any case offend ia that way. But in wanton violation of this engagement, we find him again trespassing against the laws, by becoming ,a party to a hostile meeting between two young fools. He may possibly attempt to excuse himself, by saying that he went on the ground as a peace-maker. But that would be a most ridiculous plea. An honorable and wice peace-maker would have taken a very different course. We are sorry that (Colonel Webb has behaved in such a foolish and criminal manner in this c He has now forfeited his parden by violating its express conditions. We repeat, we are very sorry on account of this, because we helped to get the Colonel out of his former scrape, by getting up a petition for his pardon; and besides we cannot afferd to lose our ancient friend and contemporary. He has long been in Wall street a source of infinite amusement to us in the Statd Prison he would be comparatively useless.

The folding doors of the room ad- joining were thrown open, and filled instanter, and aumbers were content to remain in the passage ieading thereto, within hearing of the whig candi- date for the Mayoralty of this city for tne ensuing year. Gro. F. Nesurrr, Esq., te Messrs. Roland aud Delano, cretaries. s Mr. Kguiy came forward, and said that the pre- sent meeting was called in consequence of a reso- lution proposed by him at revious meeting of the whig club of the Second Ward; and in conse- quence, begged to offer the following resolu- uons :— Nesolved, That in Dudley Selden, our candidate for Mayor, we behold the regularly nominated"candidate of the whig party of this city; that, warned by the disestrous result of a want of adherenggto sound principles during the past year, we are now Miermiued to stand faithfully by our principles and our nominations, and,come what may, shall have the satisfaction of feeling that we have discharged our whole duty to ourselves, our party and our country. Resolved, That we exhort all who are whigs, “ond nothing else,” to unite with us in carrying out this truth- ful and faithful determination. Mr. Cooxg then sang a song, commencing, “ The song of the flag—brave whig fia aan emblem that ie dear tous all” ** A delegation was then appointed to invite Mr Selden to address the meeting. In a short time that gentleman appeared, and said— Gentlemen of the Second Ward :—I should have some hesitation in thus coming betore yon if my own personal interest alone was concerned, or in going through the different wards of this city, but I must say, thet during my political existence, | have never seen gathered together as [ have seen for the this is no doubt owing to the general opinion that pre- vailed in the whig party, thet it was necessary for the preservation of the whig party that they should be unsni mous in the forthcoming election ; as well as the neces. sity that there existed for the better and more economica) government of the city. The gentleman then entered tuto a detail of the city expenditure, showing an increase of the disbursements of $344 410 86 He then inquired if oy = the tered ane was promised us, and - wes the whigs su; the party in power spring : this ward Ibathee repaseoeted tien weuld aver been by Mr. Woodhull? (‘*No, not so well.) ‘The speaker then entered into the question of what advantage the longer existence of the native American party would be, and showed, by their extravagance, intolerance, and bigotry, tbat no possible good could arise from it. The great ob- ject of the native American party was to destroy the whigs; and he called upon those present to say, was here ony necessity for such? (No, no,” and cheers) Che wh ote of the native American party in this city and P lelpbia does not amount to 20,000. Che Bot abor 000 or 6,000 certain ni this city. Yet this very party, with all the boldness. pos- able, now calls upon the two great parties in this city to throw uptheirorganization Now, the democrats say 1! will not—and wi 6 whigs of the second ward give up ‘beir organization their bidding? (No, ne.”) Now it was well known that the whig party was defeated by the conjunction with the Native American 'y. He could show them counties where hundreds of naturalized vot- ers were lost to the whig party in consequence of the ob- jects and course of the native American party ; to such an extent was this believed in, that there were more than double the number of the Native American party, o! good whig votes, lost by the connexion. He then pro- ceeded to show that that state of things did now exist, and that hundreds of naturalized votes would be given to the whigs at the ensuingjelection that were lost at {the last. He then preceeded to remark on the and irtoler- ance of the Native American pary ; and the absence of every man of talent in their ranks, and eballenged them to show asingle one. All that was good and great in the lan¢ shunned the party as they would a pestilence. The only party that was connected with them was office seekers.— Chey got a little power inthis city, from whence it spread to Philadelphia.

Frrra Warp Democratic Meetinc.—There was a strong muster last night ‘at the Hoboken House, foot of Canal street, where it was expevted Judge Bryce would make a speech, but immediately af- ter the chairman took his place, Mr. Wells an- nounced that the Judge was sick and could not attend, which cast a temporary shade upon the as- sembly.

Ske brings advices to the 27th of December. This is the fourth or fifth vessel from China that has arrived at this port in the last month loaded with teas. The Celestial Empire had fallen into the greatest possible quietness. There were no émueles among the long quecd Chinese; the pirates only seemed to occupy the attention of the people. We annex the latest market. [From the Hong Kong Register, Dec. 24] The Criminal Sessions of the Supreme Court have againclosed. The Calendar has been a heavy one, but this was only what was to be looked for from the mate- rials of which the native population of the island is com- posed; and it is satisfactory, as a proof of the efficiency she police, that thefts and robberies are no longer com- mitted with impunity. , Varions reports of piracy have been in circulation du- tiug the last week, but none of them have reached us in a shape sufficieatly tangible to be laid before our readers. On the tcontrary, it is said the reported attack on the Sterling is a fabrication. The captain, we hear, says no such event occurred; and we presume the whole has its origin in the pot valor of some would-be hero, who, in true Celestial style, annihilates his enemies even before he hus seen them. Markets, Hone Kono Manxer, Dec. 20.—Camlets continue in the same depressed state, without the slightest prospect of early improvement. For Dutch Camlets there has been some little inquiry, and for them rates are tolerably sup- ported. Chintzea—The slight demand lately existing hus quite died away and we hear of no fresh sales this week. Indeed those we lately reported must be leoked upon as fern forced. Cotton—The market is dull though no material aiteration in price is observable. The finer que- lities of egret staple are in uo demaud, and the aggre- gate sales of all descriptions amount te only about 2,500 bales. Cotten Yarn is unenquired after and no sales are reported. Our quotations ere almot nominal Lead— Selet of two or three hundred peculs are reported at our quotations, which remain uni ed. Long Cloths we regret to say continue in the same depressed state. For whites the inquiry is next to nothing aod sales are ex- coedingly difficult to effect. @reysare in rather a heal- thier st ut the demand for them is also faliing off, and the week’s transactions are very trifling. The great scar- fey hes money among the Chinese, and the unwillingness of foreigners to take tea in barter are doubtless the main f the extreme depression of the market. Long Elis are suffering for the same reasons, and the market is dull and in eaythibe, but ahealthy state. We hear of a few hundred pieces of ted colors, at prices within our quotations. Opium—There is little doing in Lytad seription of , especially in Benares, for which there are scarcely any inquiries. Pepper—Nothing doing. Exronts.—Alum—The report of a considerable supply being expected coastwise hes occasioned a slight decline in price, and the Chinese are not so firm in their demands; afew parcels only have been purchased for shipment to {ndia. Camphor ~Notwithstanding the low rates ruling vuteide several purchases both on Indian and American account are reported in Canton at the rates we give — Cassia is still much inquired for, andthough the supply is abundant tue high rates given in the first instance are still demanded by the Chinese, and submitted to by pur- cnasers.

We thought that no one at the present day could ve found so ignorant or go prejudiced as to attempt ‘0 oppose the adinirable system of naval appren- ices introduced into our service within the last ‘ew years under the sanction of an act of Con- grees. But as auch an attempt has recently be made, we must show its absurdity. A writer ip the Tribune calls the system the * exploded Naval Apprenticeship System.” The folly of this is too apparent to need contradiction. The system has aot been exploded, but is still in operation. Ali that we complain of is that it is not carried out so fully and extensively as the real friends of the na- vy desire ; as fully as Congress intended by the law paseed, that it should be. Already under this system some 2600 boys have been shipped into the service, and there are atillin the service some 300 or 400 excellent boys who are an ornament to the navy, and of whom theircominanders are justly proud. Many boys have been discharged from the service on account of the expiration of their term, and have re-entered the service of their own accord asboys, Mauy others have been discharged by the Secfetary of the Navy, from requests made to him by relatives through lettere, and of these any have requested to be allowed to return to the service and have actuallyre-entered the service also as boys. It is true that a few—a very, very few of the olfi- cerain the navy are opposed—not to the system— but to the little extra trouble which it takes them to teach these boys—and a still fewer number we are happy to say are found who oppose the system because it brings a few poor ragged boys inte the service “betwixt the wind and their nobility.” But the bulk of the gallant officers in the navy— tncluding moet or all of our noble commodores and captains—are decidedly and warmly in favor of this system, ineluding as gallant an officer and skilful a sailor as the world can produce, the brave Elliott. The writer says, he has had enough of hardy ragged little boys in the navy; we would in all kindness ask this wgiter whether he was born i Ic stockings or breeches on, or with a marling spike in his hands, or otherwise % But we are sick of this ridiculous abuse and sneers at the poor—what does the general government do for the poor boy at We know it supports a West Point aristocratical institution at an enor- mous expense ; and also an institution at the naval asylum, Philadelphia, for the rich man’s sons to teach them to become midshipmen; but it does nothing whatever for the poor. Is this fair? Is this republican? Shall this state of things be re- medied ; er shall we l to the ballot box tor @ remedy that shal: aati nf and efficient 1 The writer also d he Naval Apprentice- ship system works well. This wecontradict. Look { the Ohio, 74; on her last cruise—this took eut sixty boys, out of whom her Commander made 10 of them Master’s mates; and this is but one instance out of a number of similar ones that could be quoted. The fact is, that the emartear petty officersin the service have been ap- prentice boys in our Nav: j jake a ship trom the keel to the truck and rig her; and no man in the Navy can teach them their duty. As to the man of war service rot making sailors, we would ask this writer whose fault that is, and where we fet our sailors from to man our vessels of war?— f the: not raised in the American eget they must be raised onjboard British, Dutch, or Freach, or Russian men-of-war,or the men-of-war of some other foreign nations; unless the writer in the Tyi- bune, to keep pace with his ignorance or his preju- dice, should undertake to assert that they were all bern with tarry breeches on, or a marlio-spike in their hands, ready made sailors. The truth is, that the Apprenticeship system is the most valuable sys- tem that has ever been introduced into this coun- try, and when it shall have a fair trial, which ithas not had yet, the most eplendidly advantageous re- sults will flow from its full exereise.
