Selden’s Speech at National Hall Last Night, x waa There was another immense and enthusiastic gathering of the friends of Mr. Selden and the new progressive democratic movement originated by him, at National Hall last evening. We givea fall report in our columns this morning. The spirit and enthusiasm displayed at this meeting were unbounded, and it will be perceived that Mr. Selden has again succeeded in attracting the popu- lar sympathies, and the cordial approbation of the intelligent men of all parties, by his enlightened, sound, and philosophic view of the relations of the rich and the poor, and the duties which each class owes to the other. I[t is indeed something new to hear such subjects discussed in political as semblages, and we are now more than ever im- pressed with the conviction that this popular revo- lution—so strongly marked by sound senee, intelli- gence, and practical philosophy—is indeed the true democratic movement of the age, and is destined to lead the most extraordinary results. Mr. Selden has now attended and addressed crowded and enthusiastie meetings in fourteen of the wards of the city, and he has also spoken at two great mass meetings in National Hall, the one at which he began the present remarkable revolu- tion, and that of last evening—making in all six- ieen gatherings of the votersin this metropolis. Oa all of these occasions the spirit and enthusiesm displayed have been almost witheut a parellel in electioneering campaigns, whether presidential or municipal. In numbers, also, these meetings have been equally remarkable. The meetings in the wards hove numbered from five or six hundred to two thousand, making an average of one thousand at each, which, added to the thousands. that have congregated in National Hall, an aggregate of at least twenty thousand voters,. who have thus been addressed by Mr. Selden. We are thus afforded some data on which to cal- culate the probable strength of the forces that have been already enlisted under the flag of the whig candidate, and those great principles of civil and religious liberty, and true progressive democracy, which he has announced and vindica- ted with so much force and eloquence. There are many citizens entitled to vote who do not mingle at all in political meetings, and no doubt many of those who attended at one or other of the ward meetings, attended some of the rest, but taking the numbers who flocked to hear Mr. Selden on those occasions, as indicative of the popular feeling, we may, we think, very reasonably conclude that so far as present appearances go, Mr. Selden will poll at least fifteen thousand vote: When we contrast the spirit, enthusiasm, deter- mination, and magnitude of the whig meetings, with those of the “natives,” or the locofocos, we are at once irresistibly impressed with the convic- tion that there must be something more at work in the popular mind than the influences which ordina- rily cperate in our municipal elections. The “ na- tives” have failed, most signally, in getting up pub- lic meetings. Their ward meetings have been mis- erable affairs, and we have seen what a pitiful abortion, was their effort to get up a great mass ineeting for the organization of a “ Harper Asso- ciation,” after all their drumming up and coaxing, and fuss and parade. As for the locofocos, they do not succeed much better. Their candidate, Mr. Havemeyer, is no more potential in awakening en- thusiasm than a block of wood, and in several of the warda that party is agitated and torn by intes- tine quarrels, carried on with the utmost bitterness, and resulting in one ward, the Sixth, to three op- posing tickets. Why is it, then, that the whig meetings have been so crowded—so urited—so earneét—ao indicative of a great simultaneous up- rising of the’popular masses ? The explanation of this interesting phenomenon iseasy. Mr. Selden has struck certain leading chords in the popular heart, and every where the vibrations may be marked. He has succeeded in starting an original movement in politics and so- ciety, by leading the masses of the people back to those original principles on which the first settle- | iment of this country, and its subsequent indepen- dence, were founded. In his speech at National Hall last night he has still farther extended and | strengthened the foundations of this movement by giving it a practical application which must at once | commend it to every thinking man. This revolu- tion, it may be depended on, is destined to pro- duce great results. Derarture ov General ALMONTE. —This Mexi- can diplomatist has departed from this city in the barque Anahuac, after having broke up the friendly relations between this country and Mexico, on ac- count of the Texas question. Immediately on his arrival in Mexico, we may expect to see some traces of his foot-prints in political affairs) We have no doubt that out of the Texas question he will endeavor to construct a ladder to reach the highest office in the Mexican government, even at the expense of a rupture of the relations between the United States and his own country. His whole policy has been directed to that purpose. aring his residence here, he has given indications that his government would, at once, break up the peaceful relations between the two republics; and we have no doupt he has made preparations to make this prediction a fact as soon as he reaches the shores of Vera Cruz Government INsPECTORS ON THE FRoNTIER.— When Tyler was President, he had a number of fa- vorites whom he appointed to secret inepectorships on the frontiembetween this country and Canada, who had no duties to perform, and whose only em- ployment was to talk politics and take pay. Seve- ral of these idle loafers are thus attached on the frontier to the treasury department. We trust that Mr. Polk and Mr. Walker, the present Secre- tary of the Treasury, will see that all such ex- cresences be lopped off at once. They are of no use nnder the present arrangement of aflairs. Gustom Hovse INTRRFRRENCE IN THE CHARTER Execrion—Some of the miserable party papers have been attempting to fasten a charge upon the Col- lector of this port. that the Custom House was in- terfering with the charter election. This was par- ticularly set forth by the Morning News, the or- gan of a despicable clique of office-beggars, who seruple at nothing in effecting their purposes in | The card of Governor | Van Ness, however, so effectually refutes the mis- | erable assertion, that neither we nor any others! search of public plunder. are called on to add a syllable. Is It So1—-The “native” organ insinuates hypothetically, or enquiringly, that Mayor Mar- | per has bribed Editor Bennett to support Mr. Selden, with the sum of “ten dollars.” Well, this is possibly correct. The “native” organ ought to know what the ‘native’ Mayor has done, but we are authorized by Editor Bennett to say, that if Mayor Harper has sent him: “ten dol- | Jars,” he has not yet received the funds. Possibly eome of the “‘native” police may have intercepted the cash on the way, and are now jollifying on it to their hearts content, in some secret corner, on oald water a] Ruong Isuanp Eteerrom—The returns from all the towns in the State, excepting one, have been received.

Neither that town, however, nor the scattering vote, will probably vary the regult from theabove. Apart from the Governor and one member to Congress, the whole regular whig, or law and order ticket, has been elected, although in some ins:ances by rather small majorities. Henry Y. Cranston, the regularly nominated whig candidate, and Lemuel H. Arnold, an independent whig, are elected to Congress—the latter over k. R. Potter, whose term of office has just expired. In the event of no choice by the people, the se- lection of a Governor will devolve on the Legisla‘ ture, in which case Fenner would provably be elect- ed—for the General Assembly stand :— Senate, Houre.

They little dreamed of the ef- fect the imprisonment of Gov. Dorr had produced en the public mind. They having obstinately re- fused to release Dorr wit out conditions, the ques- tion of his unrestricted liberation was made the point of the election by the democrats, and the re- sult is almost a total demolition of the whig party in that State. Government ApveRtising.—We perceive that | several of the departments at Washington and else- where are public advertisements in papersof very li- mited circulation, thereby violating the new law of Congrese,which comes into operation ina month or two, This is not what we looked for under the new administration. PawapEiPuta CLERGYMEN.—We have a num- her of sketches of the Philadelphia Episcopal Cler- gy on hand, which we will be able to give to our readers in the course of a few days. The sketch of Dr. Tyng in particular is so remavkably well- written, and as that gentleman is a prominent can- didate for the vacant Episcopal chair of Pennsyl- vania, that we must give it as soon as possible. Souvrnern Mau.—We are glad to learn that on and after next Monday, the great Southern Mail leave Philadelphia at 7 o’clock in the morning, to arrive here at noon. Departure —George Bancroft, Esq., left this city for Philadelphia on Thursday evening, and this morning departed from that city for Washing- ton. Txa anv Toast.—We have had several inquiries recently, relative to the destiny of the celebrated Wikoff, the chevalier who made himeelf sofamous 10 the career of Fanny Elesler in this country, and latterly in the establishment and explosion of a newspaper. In reply to these enquiries, we are very glad to announce that the chevalier has engaged in & new enterprise, much more respectable, and probably much more money-making, than any of his previous occupations. He has, in fact, estab- lished a famous company for the sale of English Black Teas, and other fine descriptions, which he imports direct through his important conuections with the East India Company, and has fitted up a very beautiful place for that purpose, at 75 Fulton street. This is one of the most praiseworthy en- terprises which he ever attempted, and will, we hope, be more profitable than any ef those which have preceded it. According to his own accounts he lost $10,000 on Fanny Elseler, and nearly $20,000 on Duff Green and the ‘ Republic,” making an ag- gregate loss of $30,000 in two or three years. We trust that the fashionable people of New York, and particularly the ladies, will now endeavor topatron- ize this new establishment, and pay as high pricer as they can for the articles sold them, in order te make up, as fast as possible, the $30,000 which the chevalier lost in his former enterprises. In addition to this industrial movement, we should not be sur- prised to hear that the chevalier had become a member of some church—had. been promoted to the high office of deacon therein, and that he might, in process of time, be fit to be admitted to hoty orders. We charge the chevalier nothing for this “first rate notice,”—better than any in the Boston Post—albeit, written by the pen of Park Benjamin himself TsmpL® oF THE Musxs.—The floating Theatre, moored between Spring and Charlton streets, was well attended last evening. There is a very talent- ed company engaged, and every thing appears to go on swimmingly; there iscertainlyconsiderable flout- ing capital and talent engaged ia the concern, and there is little doubt but that, if they take the tide that is set in upon them, it will lead to success.— The energy of the parties connected with the affair certainly deserves all they anticipate.

This is certainly a good opportunity to witness one of the finest productions of modern times, which should not be omitted. Pato’s TaaTee.—Dinnetord is going ahead strong with his preparations for the restoration of the legitimate drama. The whole of the interior has been re-arranged in the most beautiful and con- venient manner possible; considerable talent hes been already engaged, and more will be in the course of thisday. We will be able to announce the whole of the arrangements in to-morrow’s pa- per. Taxe Care or your Heattu.—At this season of the year, every precaution is necessary for the pre- servation of the health. One ot the best means of effecting this may be found at Mrs. Carroll’s elegant egtablishment in Broadway, near the Hos- pital. Her medicated baths cannot be recommend- ed too highly. a ie wiih! Frowsr Szeps —Robinson, the florist, corner of Broadway and Prince street, has, we perceive, opened a fresh assortment of rare and choice flow- er seeds, imported from London. Mr. Owen’s Luctors Last Eventno—Orenine oF a NEW Piace or Meeting For 18 Frignps and Sur: PorTsrs—The Minerva Room last evening was well filled with a highly respectable audience. "te was his coneluding lecture on the subject of the regenera- tion of the human race. The gentleman showed the system upon which he deemed mankind ought to be brought up, and then contrasted it with the modern system adopted in Ei , and ip illustra- tion of his arguments, said on the subject of war, that the standing army of those countries, were sufficient to produce by their labor, if it was judi- jously employed, enough to support all the other habitants of those countries; jnstead of employing them to destroy their fellow men, and to keep their countrymen in subjection. ‘The gentleman proceeded thus at c le length, and was lis- tened tofor upwards of aa hour an: abalf with the most profound interest, in different parts receiving marks of considerable approbation, particularly from a great number of ladies who were present. At the conclusion, there was considetable regret expressed that tl the termination of the gen- tleman’s lectures; and there @ strong wish expressed that they should be continued; but how far the lecturer’s previous arrangements will permit such, remain. to be seen, ae in the early part of next week he proceeds to Philadelphia, to deliver his lectures. The friends and admirers of this gentleman and hisdoctrineshave'leased the Frank- lin Hall, Chatham Square, for five years, for the urpose of promulgating their views and opinions. Tomorrow, Sunday, the above building will be | opened,when this venerable philanthropist will de- liver three lectures, one in the morning, the second | in the afternoon, the third in the evening.

That well known rallying point of-the whig forces—Nationel Hull,‘in Canal street, was again crowded excessively iast night, to consult on the best means to rescue this city from the foul re- proach of nativism, and to hear the Hon. D. Sel- den address the meeting. The apartment. was entirely thronged, and as athe audience stood up, the number present must have been very large in proportion to the space occupied. The Hon. H. Fish was nominated president. Mr. Tomuinson read an energetic address to the whig young men ; it was well received and adopt- ed; after which Mr. Joun Fowxsr, Jr., offered the following re- solutions which, were adoptedjunanimously:— Resolved, That ipproaching charter election is one of extraordinary importance, in which the safety and honor of the whig party are deeply involved, and which imperatively demands the ene: action of all who claim to be hades a or Meh ged ‘an interest in the establish ment of whig principles, and we earnestly call upon the youne men of New York to wally in support of the whig ona jate for (ayer Dealer kee vo od we recog- nize an upri fear! vocate of whig principles, and afait i capable tod honest man. icdabaiay jat we rejoice in the prospect of the s condemnation of a party whose conduct has rede pet ie aeons = Bid interests of a peculiar polit loctrines we regard as utter! ant to ci- vil and religious freedom—illiberal ie dine oharboter, and proscriptive in their operation and effect. solved, That inasroucn as thé recent greet political isester hes left our faith unimpaired, and our fidelity un- shaken in the virtue and necessity of whig measures and whig policy. we the democratic whig young men of the city of New York. here proclaim our firm reliance on the hope of tuture success, and now and henceforth d- ing to opposition, with principles unchanged, 8! stand on the old battle ground, holding fast by our integrity. When the resolutions were disposed ef, there were loud cries for Thayer, Selden, Tomlinson, and others. Mr. Twaren reaponded, stying that the eloquent on’ forcible language of the address which had been read to them reminded them of their duty as hig Young men of New York, and, as one of them, ‘heupy te see them once more assembled together in ntmbers, and witha put thet showed they were fully sensible oftheir duty. Once more, after a defeat most disastrous and un- expected, they were met to renew their labors, and he would says honor to those who were there that night. (Much ee What then rekindled the spirit, and reani nated the soul of the great party, and assembled it there on that night, was a sense of duty which spoke out to every faltering spirit—go back to the ofd rallying places, and join inthe oldrallyingcry. The speaker here went into an invective against the locofo- cos, to prove that they obtained their election victory over Henry Clay dishonestly, foully and disgracefully; that it was not in reality a victory, as it was totally im. possible, in a country who knew Herry Clay, who was a0 deeply indebted to him, to sccomplish bis defeat by fair means. Ne! of the locofocos could be found to own it was honorably obtained, and their situation was similar to that of the boy, who was upbraided by some of his neighbors with stealing his stockings home to his mother in tears, and on being what was the matt: ccusers, re- plied, “What coul: iy? hadn’t Ithe stockingson my legs? Mr. Thayer contended at length that the native party westhe cause of the defeat of the whigs in the Pre- sidential election, and being so abborrent to the rural classes, on account ef its pi jarrow and con- temptible prinetples. that in the city of ‘New York was held up asa reprogch tothe whig party, and enlisted the vote of the foreign citizens against them. An abroluta necessity existed, then, to bs down that par ty, and show the nation that notrue whig could any lon- be connected with nativeism. Mr. Thayer conclu as follows: Onethiog is now certain that was but problematical two weeks ago; it is this—the whig party is now harmonised and combined for future action and energetic movement; and how has this been accomplish. ed? It hes ben accomplished morg by the bold action of Abe candidate than by any ot! thing. (Loud and enthusiastic cheering.) Gentlemen, the convention that make that nomination made it as yourfresponsible agen! and I have to ie simply. did they fulfil that trust isfaction?

(Great cheering.)— Gentlemen, when I lest hadthe Li gerigs ¢ of addressing a general meetin, convened ‘at this hall, J took oceasion to discuss the subject of the relations between our native and foreign tion—of ive rights both civil and religious—oef their duties of theircommon interests. It is not my pu now to sdvert again to that subject, except to say that my langusge, on one pont, hes, in some been misunderstood, and in 8 much misrepresented. I supposed that it- wae matter of common knowledge that we c! ed a European origin. I supposed that every man knew that our ancestors came from the countries of Europe. and | supposed also that every man khew that in of our ers upon their arrival upon these shores, un- dertaking to continue their national distinctions and their national differences, they amalgamated as one peo- le, and eventually became one people and one race, and that is the American Ling nt (Cheers) And so far-as] ‘was able to judge, I con: it a race, which in its ori gin and in its progress was destined to terminate in a peorle, the like of which had never had their story told ym the commencement of the hi of man— (Cheers.) Why, we would suppose frem the criticism which has been applied to my remarks that there were men who be- lieved that they were the actual descendants of the aborigines ofthe country. (Lai erg That they were real “natives,” who cot ‘claim their jeacent in a direct line through the ‘savage tribes to the Great Father tha: lived beyond the Lakes, (Roars of langhter ) Iam not one of these, and, therefore, those who differ with mein point of fact, are not entitled to be met by me in point of argu- ment. I said, also, and with ‘to that [ su; ay noman who had studied the history of his race could have ited it—that the first settlers ina new country must inevitably suffer froin disease, and that their physical Constitution must be deteriorated. Does any man doubt it who hes ever had thefeverand ague? (Laughter )— Can any sensible man, for a moment, suppose that I meant to convey the idea thatthe American race was an inferior one? That I really undertook to libel my cwn flesh and bones? (Cheers.) I, whocan claim an American descent for two hundred years, that I shonid assailthe aative born American people onthe grozod of an interior physical Censtitution! Gentlemen. do I meee exhibit a specimen ot it? (Laughter.) Am Ione of these wheezing beings whose lungs are not lerger than the casement of a lepine watch—-(Hoere of laughter and loud cheering) Igo for the American race and for the improvement of it.— (Cheers.) Iam notone of those eve that either ae or mental structure hes the human race ar- rived at the highest pitch ofimprovement. Undera go- vernment like ours, where every man moves erect— were every man feels as a freeman and acts as a freeman —where all are supplied with the necessaries of life in superabundence=where the ete can claim such an origin, am I not indeed justified in eee a sti greater improvement of the race?—(Cheers.) Se much, gentlemen, for that subject. Let me now call your atten. tion to another important aspect of human society —to the relations of rich and poor—of the consumer and the pro ducer—of the employer and the employed—of capital and Jabor. These expresssions are intended in ordinary import to express substantially thesewe idea, andidesire te discuss theserelations,and if you will hear me | think you will find that my discussion will terminate at has terminated, with regard to the relations of native born and adopted citizens, to the good of the people of this city—(Loud cheers.) When we use the phrase “rich and poor,” we obviously intend to indicate two extremes—that on the one hand, of the man who lives entirely bi ve} income and the other, that of the man who is compeiled to obtain his supportentirely by his labor. Now these two ox- tremes—these two relations in life. constitute a very small portion of the people of these United States. The intermediate classes, those who may possess mere or les: wealth, who unite and capital together, in varying pk carte constitute the great misses of American iety. In considering these relations, myfdecire is to have it understood that there are not necessarily any grounds of difference between them—that they havea common interest and ought to unitein sustaining it~ Let me, in the first pla: owners, ask whether by the labor of the cit: times, and in all ciroum- stances? Does any! one doubt ij? Can any men who owns lands and houses say that his titledeeds have not been safe? Can any in thet hes © rent-roll, say that his tenants have not been faithful to their engagements and paid their rent whe: 'y were able todo so? Can any creditor say that his is have not been if they who owed them were able to pay them and the law was capable of enforcing the payment 7 Has not labor always come promptly to the rescue of ca- et in the time of ae, ‘anger 7—(Loud cheers ) say, thet the rich are thus indebted to the poor for the safety and security of their property. — (Cheers.) New have the poor—the laborers any ground of complaint? In the Cede much has been done by the pr owners in this city for the advancement of the rt of those who labor, and I intend to show that much more can be done, and ought to be done.—(Cheers.) Let me, however, call your attention to some particulars in which the rich of this city have exhibited ee gene rosity towards the poor. In the great cause of education they have without a murmur consented to be very heavi- ly faxed. For the purpose of contributing to the public health and rendering more comfortable the condition 1 the fa they assented to incur jebt equal to one do] f the whole real estate of the city, in order to supply this metropolis with pure and wholesome water. Yes, let me tell you that the amount of that #x- penditure which now rest: on the real es. tate of the city is equal to o: jouse a e lot in every twelve,from one end of the islan the other. They have gone farther. They have furnished, to some extent, the operatives and the poor with public grounds, 1 intend to call your attention te this point a little further. I say it ie the duty of the men of property in this city to extend these advantages specially designed for the poorer cless- es—to increpse them. (Cheors.) How largely the sum , cesult he had discht both ef gov: nd. itis the Sere . agra Eichten comforts and epjoyment enlerg: them increase the extent of the public greunds--let these grounds be beautified with flowers, and fountains and statues—let the ‘man when his: toil is over, have a resort where heand his family catfhave an hour's relax- ation and rational epjoy ment — where his eye may be gra tified by objects of taste, aud where strains of inspiring music may minister to hisdelight. (Loudcheers) What do we sce in countries where despotic government vais? In Paris—in Berlin—in Vienna, we see public rounds, filled with beautiful objects of nature and of ert, thrown open to the man of toil—shat! not freemen who have acquired weaith,do as much for !reemen as Kings do the slaves? (Great cheering.) Hale tyne thet in those Ente pean cities the are opp! em : a 7 Yet Moe much has been done by so. ment of the esult? ‘The poor Paris, of Berlin, of Vienna is substantially preserved by the constant expen- diture, ou the part of the government, forthe purpose of, furnishing the laboring classes with rational amusements. The gardens of the Tuilleries,end the Champs d’Elyseés, with their bifade of music, areopen to all, and there when thetask of the day is accomplished, labor enjoys itself, and is led insen: ‘to esteem the souree which has sup- plied the ample means of recreation. 1 might present similar examples in the other large cities. ‘by cannot that be done inacity like this? (Cheers.) Are not the laborers entitled to it? Aré not the rich able to furnish it? Gugnt they not to furnish it? (Tremendous cheers.) ;Why, it could be easily demonstrated that in doing this the rich would be advancing their own in- terests. The. consequence of ex! ture in this way, weuld be to meke the city still more attractive totravel- lersand strangers; the value of property would be in- creased; the condition of the poor would ke improved, and the expenses of the alms house would be most mate riaily diminished. (Loud cheers.) In all civilised and re- fined nations this provision has been mado for the poor. You recollect the story of the gardens of Julius being offered by Marcus aa the price of the last remnant of Roman liberty, and so dearly prized was the pleasant public walk on the banks of the Tiber, that the bargain aros closed. Although you cannot and would not seli your birthright as ffeemen, yet the poor and the laborer can be grateful as freemen for the benefits distributed by those who are rich, and also free. (Cheers.) Much can bethus done, and much ought to bgthus dene, for the purpose of elevating the condition of those who labor; and here let me call your sttention fora few. moments to the reaults of Jabor as exhibited within the lest half cen tury. Whatere they? Why the exertion of human in. dustry and ingenuity has been such as to produce a sur plus of everything that is required to supplythe necessities und wants of humanity in every part of the world. Let us took at this. What's the reason that the great article of cetton has been sinking in price? Because the supply is greater than the demand; it has been so multiplied by hu- man labor that the want cannot meet it. So with agri. pork,all those anes article course, of decline in prices i id ow in cultural products, flour, beef, eral atthe mechanic pushing the file over the instrument which he is eonstructing—the thought occurs to him that“ by a happy combination of machinery, be may be able to evade that labor, and accomplish in the same timeone hundred fold more work. He pursues this idea. He con structs his machine. It succeeds. It 18 given to the world, end the addition thus made to capital cannot be calcula- ted. Yet the mechanic still toils on—his wages are still substantially the same, But should not the leborer share in those resulta? Is it not true that ingenuity and skillin the mechanic arts have, withi e last half century ,rais ed that class ef emplo, me! above the professions ?— These results have been m \vantegeous to the humen race than the efforts of the man ¢rthe scholar. Are not those who have produced there results entitied to tictpate im their advantages? (Cheers) But have they shared fairly in these advantages? Isis not fully time, and is it not theduty ina government like ours, of those citizens who “bave scquired weulth, to see that ‘they ren- der an equivalent for their ability through the exertions of this description of labor, to convert their tens of theu- ods into hundreds of thousands, and their hundreds f thousands into millions. (Enthusiastic cheering,)— {e it net their duty so to use their gainsas to let these who ein fact produced them parce aubstantilly in their advantagea? The time bas indeed come when the task of labor should be diminished—the hours of work shortened—for still there would be time enough left to produce all that is necessary for supplying the wants of monkind—(Cheers.) {Here a small party of “ natives” Pree! through Canal street stoppe: jall with their music, occasioning some interruptio: Mr. Selden; on§which a number of the whigs rushed downstairs. Mr. Serven—Keep still my frien: —there is no ground for any uneasiness—all that remains e nat! erican party is the drumtand fife! (Roars ugther.} Here, gentlemen—Mr. Selden continued —here in this city of all other places—here where fortunes may be made more rapidly and preserv- ed with almost greater certainty than in any other city in the world—here is the plece where the rich should look to e@ wants, wishes and com- forts of the poor. (Cheers) Here we should haveour numerous and extensive public places* ornamented by statues raised to men who had better claims tor immor. tality than. the warrior who had slain his thousands— raised to men who have done some service tothe world— to the mechanic who hes invented some new —tO the sailor who fmay have saved the life of his fellow being—to the heroic womaa, who in the time of pesti- lence may have stood fearlessly by the beds of the sick and dying—(Cheers.) This is some portion of the re- ward which r ought to receive in the city of New York. And would not they also add to the enjoyments of the rich? The rich man along and saw the pleasant faces of the poor ‘and his family thus enjoying themselves, would fe greater thrill of piea- sure than when he heard his halls resound with revelry and saw his deughters with diamonds—(Loud cheers.) Me would feel that in contributing to this his duty and in his own bosom reap that jest of all earthly rewal 6 approbation of hisown cevscience (Cheers) Then again, by pub- lic opinion, not through the ‘ion of law, the tene. mente of the poor should be improved. The landlords should be prevented from confining the peor to apart- ments from which the very light air and heaven are umost entirely excluded, and they should be furnished with ample, clean and comfortable habitations. (Great cheering—and cries of “ that’s the reform we want!” “No tin-pans at thefountein!” ‘No iced mud!) Therich can do still more for the poor. There are sctsof kindness not attended with expenditure which would be gratefully acknowledged and which would do much to reconcile anyof those differences which arise out of the rela- tions of ‘fortune on the one the hand and misfor- tune enthe other. I allude tothe extension of per- senal civilities by the rich to the r when they meet—enquiries into their‘wants, their successes and their mis! ines. One ofthe best things in the way of G20d manners ever said is related of George the Third. When asked by one of his courtiers why he paid respect to a poor drayman that passed by, he replied, ‘ shall I be less polite than the meanest of my subjects 1’—(Loud. cheers.) Civilities such as this go far to break up the artificial distinctions between the rich and the poor—to removes those things Which keep men apart, hecatse the one class has been fortunate. All should recollect that in the vicissitudes of bnsiness, labor and capitel change places—that he who is rich Betyg: poor to morrow—that the descendants of the men who have ac- cumulated estates are likely*to be the laborers to the children of those who are now without them. These things borne in mind will teach each to respect the rights of the other, end to each feel that it is not the result of ony hereditary claim, any personal advantage but ra- ther the result of chance, sometimes of industry, but more frequently ef chance, that has made the one rich, whilst the other is poor. (Cheers ) I present these considera. tions to those who may be Somrerinieg, of the hostility of the ‘te the rich, and I esk them, when the opportuni. ty of preventing thore complains is s0 essily gained, will they not direct their attention to the accomp! ent of this great object? Are not the leboring classes of this city entitled to as much consideration from those who have acquired proj asthe subjects ef foreign poten- tates are! to theconsldctation of ‘hee who rule vcs yr, such as lenteg Changes in the condition of the peo: have described, and such as | contend for, are always, it is well to recollect, much more easily and sately to be ob tained from private bounty than from the mn of government.

(Loud and continued cheering) Mr. Selden then went on to say, that his opinion had been frequently asked about the license law, and as an individual he had given it. When Father Matthew, he ssid, commenced his mission of phi- lanthropy and reform in bis native land, sup he had taken with him an edict of the British Parliement re- quiring the accomplishment of that object - what would have been the consequense? Why he would e seen the amoke of the peat and alembio ay from the cre- vice of every rock, and the recesses every ravine amongst the bills. ps Or suppose when he crossed the Irish gchanne! gathered around him thecolliers ofthe English mining districts, or stood at the mouth of the caverns, and called tothe subterraneo nants— ” Hear ye, hear ye, I come in the name of the liameht to put an end to dram drink heen the response?

This which its past and glorious triumphs have been achieved. This is not the means by which its future iy to be effected. By example—by reason—by iment—by ap- peala to the conscience—by bringing mind to operate on mind—that is the way in which this great work is to be effected.

Very Important from Brazt!—Curlous Pro. ccedings. ~ The Amelia Mulholland has arrived here, and the Napoleon at Philadelphia, from Rio, with advices to the 17thof February. The N. sailed on the 13th. We received by the latter the annexed important letter. Nothing ot the kind came by the A: M., although she sailed four days after the Napoleon— the letter, theretore, at first glance, may appear to be a hoax. It has been rumored, however, in circles here, ever since the arrival of the Congress, that some- thing of ;the affair, as described in our letter, had actually taken place at Rio, but we could not til! ffew reach any where near tofthe truth of the matter. We give the letter to-day,under the belief that it is true, but somewhat highly colored. The Rio papers of the 16th, 17th, and 18th ot February make no allusion whatever to the diffi- sain Correspondence of the Heraid.} ‘ Rio Janzino. 1th February, 1845. Extraordinary News—Rumor of the American! Mi- mister having Demanded his Passports, &c. &c. The American brig Porpoise, owned somewhere down east, having been chartered by a Brazilian merchant for a year, to proceed to any part of the world on lawful voyages aud with lawful cargoes, was, on the 28d ult , seized in a forcible manner by the American authorities in this port on her arrival from Quilemane, (two boats crews of the United States vessels of war, in all 82 men, with drawa cutlasses, boarding this poor unarmed merchant brig in a most ferocious manner,) upon suspicion that the captain and crew had been aiding and abetting the slave trade. This seizure was alleged to have been made by permission of the Brazilian boarding officer. This may be 80; and upon appli- cation to the Minister of Foreign Affairs by the American Minister, he, it is said, received verbal consent to hold vessel and crew until the case had been investigated. The Porpoise was consequent- ly anchored under the guns of the frigate Raritan. _ While correspondence was berms arried on in diplomatic order, the Minister of Justice gave in- structions for an armed force, consisting of six gun- boats and 100 men, to proceed on board the Por- poise and demand the release of vessel, crew and ers, which demand, if refused, was to be enforced vi et armis. A The Commodore, much to the astonishment of the officer in command of said force, did retuse to deliver up vessel and crew, but gave up the passen- gers, with which the Brazilian officer was perfectly satisfied, the Commodore ‘og politely hinted to him that he had a frigate, a brig of war, and five hundred men, to oppose any forcible demonstra- tiov on his part; and therefore it would be quite useless for Wind to attempt anything by means of arms. If this affair had ended here, all would have been well, and the American authorities have come off with fi col ut the Brazilian Government, notso easily satisfied as their officer, made a for- — demand for the delivery of vessel and crew to em. The Minister of Foreign Affairs, finding himself in rather a bad fix with his brother Ministers and countrymen, denied his ever having given his sent to the holding of the vessel by the American authorities; and requested the American minister to withdraw his note, in which he stated that such permission had been granted by him. While the jjuestion was in agitation, sundry threats were stated to have b-en made by the American autho- rities, viz.: that sooner than deliver the Porpoise up, they would sink her at her moorings; another was, that the Commodore intended tak. ng the ves- sel and crew out of the port by ferce. In conse- uence of some suspicion of she kind, the Brazilian Government reinforced their forts at the mouth of the harbor with five hundred men, on the night of the 29th ult , the commanders of said forts having orders to sink any vessel which might attempt to convoy the Porpoise out of the port without leave ofthe Government. __ : The American authorities now finding that they bad overstepped their mark, and were presenting rather a ridiculous figure, gave upto the govern- ment both vessel and crew, having discovered, at the eleventh hour, that the laws of nations did not admit of cad seizure by foreign power, vessels or individuals within the jurisdiction of another coun- try, without the consent of its authorities, unless stipulated by treaty to the contrary; which is not the case between this country and the United States. The Brazilian government, once in pos session of the brig and crew, notwithstanding the request of the American Minister for her re-delive- ry (under the plea that the vessel was forfeited to the United States for violating its laws,) have ab- tuptly refesed to accede to his demand, and it is said will liberate both vessel and crew. It is sup- josed, however, that the vessel will be held until instructions come out from the owner respecting rT. Our usual quiet city wasina state of great ex- citement while this question was pending. Go- vernment stocks fell in two days six per cent, and every gun that was fired, or bomb exploded, was immediately thought to be the commencement of hostilities between the American veesels of war and the forts. It was rumored during the excite- ment thatthe American Minister had demanded his Pasgports, and retired on board the frigate Rari- tan. The final winding up of this affair 1s very sa- tisfactory to the Brazilians, and increased the popu- larity of the ministry very much, as it ie consider- ed that the firm stand which they took intimidated the Americans from carrying out: their intentions of taking the Porpoise out of this port by force.— The American authorities, on the other hand, must be very much mortified at the sorry figure they have been performing in this farce. As to the guilt of the crew of the Porpoise,noth- ing as Mes can be said,the depositions being 20 ve! contradicto} For ‘example, two black boys wit! passports and free papers, servants of some of the paesengers, were stated to be slaves in one of the dépositions, and had actually been branded on board; but upon examining the blacks it was dis- covered that they had not been branded on board; and the deponent then stated that it must have been their brothers. Should, however, the Captain and crew be found | guilty of the heinous crime with which they are eharged, upon their return to the United States, they ought to be punished; for if they have done wrong it cannot be attributed to ignorance on their part. | : Iwill now take leave of this ay unfortunate affair, whereby the Americans have lost both caste and confidence with this government, they having always heretofore stood A 1.

New Yorx Pinotaex.—Many persons are curi- ous to ascertain the features of the recent act ot the legislature throwing this port open to every one in the way of pilotage. We, therefore, annex the provisions of the bill, which is now a law of the State: Alll ind parts ‘lative to pilots or pilotage ofthe portof New Yorks by the way of Bandy Hook, are hereby repealed ; provided, however, that all persons holding licenses as suck pilots on the 10th de; 1846, thal be, and continue to be, pilots by the way of Sandy Hook ; but nothing herein contained shull be held to prohibit other persons acting assuch pilots. Arrams 1n Canapa.—The Montreal Herald of the 29:h ult., has sent us a slip, containing the particulars of the close, on that day,of the first ses- sion of the second Provincial Parliament. After giving his assent to about a hundred acts, the Gov. General delivered an address, in which we find the following paragraph :— Thaye received anthentic information of the passing of on Act by the Legislature of the United States, which may seriously sftect the commercial interests of this Province, | will not {ail to submit the Cie yes for the at- am sure that 2 = 3 = tention of Her Majesty's Government; and it will receive the most earnest consideration Exrraornpinary Arrair.—Thefannexed letter, almost too. torbe true, relative to the “Empire Club,” we fiad in the Albany Journal. If Captain Rynders is in the city, we have no doubt but that he will explain the matter. Warenroap, Wednesday, April 2—The town élection of Watertord wes held y, lay, which resulted in the election of sepeince supervisor and town clerk. Tho whigeelected a justice and collector. The excitement occasioned oye efforts of both tion of their fav. ed by riotous — in Rynders, of the Empire Club, and his confidential friend, ‘McClusky, figured con: . Iteeems the Captain, and a select delegation from Now York, came, by express invitation, to» preserve order in ourquiet vil. lage. But instead of preserving order, they kicked up a row that would disgrace the most barbarous nation. James Rynders (brother of the Captain) introduced to the the het ad rob Club one of our most estimable ci- in indiv: ey who feorbea hag sale bg loco! and of ite proceedings in New York city. The Cay eee needs pull bis ear, and pour forth a vo- ‘du oath invectives ; and yet not the slightest ment manifested by the at party. An- other citizen observed that if he was thus insulted, he ‘would certainly resent it. For this expression he was struck several severe blows by one of the Captain’s friends, The row now became general. One of our citizens received a severe blow, and fell to the earth ; Mr. James Rynders was immedistely stretched by his te secure the elec- side; McCh received a blow, and auietly ley wn by hisfriend’s brother—it wos su; the blow was fa- tal, but he eventually o: to. After carrying the wounded indomitaple Captain »ushed into the a crowd, with a drawn bowie knife and cocked pistol, and ord them to disperse. Many left the scene of excite. ment; but some were rather terdy, and the Captain fired his pistol at an unoffendivg men. Fortunately, the ball did nottake effect. The excitement here became intense, and the courageous leader of the Empire Club wisely left the scene of action. ‘The matter will not end here. Next week the Ceptein will be indicted, by the grand jury of this county, for as- sault and battery, with intent to kill; and unless he goes to Texas, he will be dealt with as the law directs.
