New York, Feiday, April 25, i920 Our Foreign Relations. The foreign relations of the United States are at this moment in avery interesting and peculiar po- sition. With Mexico, Texas, the Brazils, and, though last not least, with England, our position is as remarkable and as menacing as it could be. A great deal of nerve and sagacity will be required, on the part of the administration of Mr. Polk, in order to come out with success or triumph. We shall give a brief view of these relations. From Mexieo, by our last accounts, down to the 29.h of March, it appears that the Mexican Con- gress are deliberating on certain resolutions, pro- posing to suspend all commercial and diplomatic in- tercourse with the United States, in consequence of the passage of the Texas resolutions by the Con- gress at Washington. A great deal ofthe violence of party is developed throughout Mexico, but it ap- pears that their vengeance is confined to the Uni- ted States. The war feeling prevailed to an extra- ordinary extent, but in consequence of the natural weakness of the new government, it is generally supposed they will content themselves with a sus- pension of all diplomatic and commercial inter- course for the present. Our next accounts, how- ever, will be interesting, giving some further light on the matter. With regard to Texas, our accounts from thence, relative to annexation, are somewhat con- tradictory. No doubt the general feeling of the people there is favorable to annexation, but the of- ficial elassea are apparently not in favor of it. We have some reason to think, however, that this is all pretended—as a sort of make-believe. We are informed from the highest diplomatic sources, that Texas wants to make the best of a bargain she can by annexation—that she wants to retain all her public lands,worth 80 or 90 millions of dollars» and provide for her own debt; and it is proba- ble that her terms will be complied with by our government. We do not anticipate any decided opposition to it, although they may dispose of it by getting something near their own terms. It must come, sooner or later. Then there is the Brazilian Empire, with which we have a very important quarrel on hand—affect. ing the principlesjof honor,which generally’are more troublesome than even acres, or dollars and cents. We have already stated the particulars of,this quar- rel—growing out of the capture of a Brazilian sla ver, or an American slaver under Brazilian colors, by an American fleet in the waters of Rio Ja- neiro—which was demanded by the Brazilian gov- eroment—and given up,{to the discomfiture of the American Minister, and in this situation no doubt the Brazilian government would be pleased to disgrace or tarnish the flag of the United States, We believe that Brazil is the only spot on this continent that is governed on monarchi- cal principles, except that portion of it that is a colony of Great Britain.4@In the} Brazilian govern- ment there is a feeling in favor of monarchical governments, and adverse to republican principles —particularly against North America. We do not, however, apprehend any difficulty there, and leave it. But the greatest comes last. Our difficulty with Sogland is a matter that will create a deep feeling, greatly increasing, festering, fermenting, from this until some serious collision takes place. Peacea- ble and moderate men think it can be settled very easily, either by compromise, or by the interfe- rence of Russia or France es a mediator, or in some such way ; but we greatly fear that the go- vernmeni of the United States will not venture on a second edition of the Ashburton Treaty. War isaserious thing; but there are eras in history where the conflict of great passions and general principles cannot be arbitrated but by physical force. We feel under some alarm for the future, in every aspect in which the question presents iteelf. Tue Commerciat Community or New York AnD vue TureateneD War with EneLanp.—The dinner of the St. George’s Society on Wednesday evening, afforded us pretty much the same oppor- tunity ol ascertaining the feelings and sentiments of the commercial men of this city, on-the recent news from Lnogland, that a public meeting in the Exchange would have done. The members of that society, although nominally Englishmen, are yet most intimately connected with this country by the strongest of ties—those of self-interest— sometimes a little stronger,—with all respect be it said—than that patriotism which vents itself on such occasions of so called national festivities.— Besides, among the guests, were many of the most influential of the American merchants and several of our official characters. The universal feeling was in favor of peace—unbroken peace be- tween the two countries. So strong was this feeling that it manifested itself in several anxious and novel efforts to induce the reporter to soften down any expressions that might by pussibility be construed into a difterent sentiment. That was, however, a very unneces- sary procedure. The whole proceedings were as full of love and charity as if it had been a meeting of the Peace Society. A prodigious effort will indeed be made amongst all intelligent men of this country, engaged in sommerce, to influence our Government in rela- tion to this matter, so as to preserve the peace of the two countries. All rational men connected with the foroign trade and commerce of the coun- try, of course, regard it as the most preposterous, absurd, and wicked idea to think of going to war with England. But yet the position assum- ed by both governments is such that that denoue- ment cannot possibly be averted by any negoti tions between themselves conducted in the ordi ry mode. It is proposed therefore that some third party—France or Russia—should step in to act as mediator. With what success such an effort at arbitration is likely to meet, it is difficult at this moment to predict. One thing, however, is certain, and that is that our new administration is placed} in a delicate and puzzling position. Mr. Polk hes got Mexico, Texas, the Brazils,'and now England, on his hands. All our foreign relations are in a state of difficulty and turmoil. If the new cabinet have ability enough to sustain themselves and their party it willbe a wonder. We are in a most interesting crisis, and republican opinion must now fully de- clare itself. The first public intimation we have had of the feeling in the commercial circles has been that afforded by the Saint George’s Society. ‘The greatest danger, however, is that which will arise from the excited feeling of the democracy in the weatern States. There the sentiment of hosti- lity to England is strong, fierce, universal and irre- pressible. Drerarture or THE Great WESTERN.—A great crowd ot peop!e gathered together yesterday after- noon at 3 o’clock, at the foot of Pike street, East River, to witness the departure of the “Fashion of the Ocean.” Many were attracted there by curiosity, and many to take leave of their friends, about leaving for a sojourn of months, perhaps years, in the “Old World.” Salates were fired when she left her moorings,’and loud cheers greet- ed her as she passed different peints of the river in going to sea. Her decks were crowded with pas- sengers, there being on board one hundred and fif- ty, one hundred and forty-two of whom were on the passenger list—the remainder having taken berths after they had put tosea. We wish this fortunate steam ehip and her gallant commander a speedy voyage and a safe return Sin Groner Simpson, President or one of the leading directors of the British North West Fur Company, was one of the passengers in the Cale- conia. He brought out instructions to Mr. Paken- ham, the British Minister at Washington, from his government at home, relative to the Oregon quee+ ten, es Cron News.—The press of this city only has had time to develope its views in relation to the position de- veloped by the Prime Minister of Englend on the Oregon question. Of course all the journals in New York, with some inzonsiderable excep- tions, are favorable to peace, because they are connected with trade and foreign commerce, and any interruption ofthe preseat relations of the two countries would! be very disadvanta- Beous to the interesis on which they rely for support, and whose sentiments they represent. But all these journals in the large cities afford no indication of the sentiments and feelings of the great power which regulates the government of the country. The Courier and Enquirer expresses its opinion that there is no denger to beflapprehended, and that Mr. Polk is only fulfilling its vaticinations by discovering himself to be a weak and bluster- jog ‘ braggart.” But the Courier is only the re- Presentative of one of the narrowest cligues in the city of New York. The Journal of Commerce has expressed no opinion. The Morning News is a mere party organ of limited circulation and posses- sed of no influence on the popular masses. It talks on both sides, and cannot be of any opinion until its party assume a position on the question at issue. So that the mere party papers and organs of com- mercial and stock jobbing cliques in this city afford no indication of popular sentiment. For that we must lock to the independent journals. At all events Mr. Polk and his administration will have their hands full. Tue Pirrsnunc RevimF Funv.—The Committee for the collection of contributions for the relief of the Pittsburg sufferers, appear to have gone at last to work in earnest. The contributions handed in to the Mayor’s Office up to last night, amounted to $10,000. Amongst the principal contributors are “John Jacob Astor, $500; Brown, Brothers & Co. $500; N. L. & Geo. Griswold, $500; Jacob Little, $500; James Lennox, $500; New York Stock Exchange, $500; Prime, Ward, King & Co., $250; John Ward & Co., $250; Wm. C. Whittemore, $200. The Mayor then announced that there would be ameeting at the same place on to-mor- row evening at 7 o’clock, to receive the remainder of the subscriptions. TukaTRIcaLs IN THE UnitEp StaTgs—Remarx- ABLE KEVOLUTION AND Revival.—An extraordi- nary revolution in theatricals;in’this country has been progressing during the last year or two, and the results are fnow manifesting themselves in a very remarkable and interesting manner. Some years ago the Park Theatre, and a few other esta- blishments in two or three of the large ¢ities—the Old Drurys” of the*continent, as they were, par excellence, designated—regulated the whole thea- trical world of the United States. No actor could succeed in the country, until he had made hisdebut atthe Park and received its imprimatur. The drama thus lay under the rule of ol conventional- isms of the stage—traditionary resollections of the green-room, and theatricals rapidly fell to the low- est ebb, experiencing,{oy§fits and starts, a brief re- vival, as some celebrated danseuse or other extra- ordinary attraction was presented, only, however, after the ephemeral excitement had passed away, to sink into a state of greater enervation than ever. The cheap theatres were then originated, and a taste for theatricals rapidly diffosed itself amongst the lower clazses of the community. It was the dirty drama, tobe sure; but, as Mr. Grattan says of England, it had its mission—it was destined to re form and revive the stage; and it has done the work. An entire revolution has taken place, by means of this agency in theatricals. Just so it has been with the newspaper press of this country: The cheap newspapers have revolutionized the journalism of the United States; but when they were first established, they were very different from that great popular institution into which they have since expanded. It was at first the dirty pen- ny press, if you please—but now it utters the voice of the people—instructs, governs and applies public opinion--and controls the goverament itself.— So with the theatrical revolution. It originated with the people. The shilling theatres, with their crowded houses every night, presented a contrast to the empty boxes of the ‘Old Drurys,” that made managers think. It made the public also think. The drama began to hold up its head, and now, at last, gradually releasing hereelf from the embraces of her dirty, but useful foster-mother— begins to present a cheerful and healthy air.— The attempt to establish Italian Opera—the revival at the Park—the Greek play at Palmo’s,—all these indications inform us that the stage, 1n this coun- try, is experiencing the fruits of this great and wholesome revolution. The revival at the Park has been most signal. The simple fact that Anderson has received within the last twelve-month from the treasury of that theatre $21,500, is, of itself, quite sufficient to convince every one that “‘Old Drury” has been visited by more than a passing gleam of prosperity. Anderson,we may add, has realized in other cities about $40,000—making the result ot his twelve- months tour in this country, $61,500—a sum almos' equal to what Macready realized. Indeed, the re- ceipts at the Park during Mr. Anderson’s two last engagements have exceeded those obtained during the best of Macready’s engagements. Anderson’s houses have realizad $600 a night—Macready’s averaged about $500. Again, as an additional proof of the renewed prosperity of the Park, it may be mentioned that the Seguins received $1,148 from the Park for one week, in the depth of winter. The new comedy of “Fashion,” it is also proper to add, was pre- eminently successful, and netted a large sum to the treasury of the Park. Mrs. Mowatt herself has already realised about ene thousand dollars—a ve- ty respectable incentive to the future exertion of Native dramatic geniusand talent. The Park management is of course justly elated by all this success, Mr. Simpson intends sailing for Europe in a short time, for the purpose of mak- ing the necessary arrangements for completing a grand and comprehensive echeme, including ballet, opera, and heaven knows what. Altogether, the- atricals in the United States are now in the most prosperous condition—far more promising than even the very respectable quarrel that is just now brewing and simmering with such hissing and bub- bling activity between President Polk and Sir Ro- bert Peel. Tue Parx.—There was an excellent house as usual, at the Park Jast night. The play of the “ Elder Brother” was repeated, and was favorably received. Mr. Anderson takes his benefit to-night. “Money” with “Catherine and Petruchio,” are the pieces to be played. Patmo’s.—There was a good attendance last evening at this house. Mr. Booth made his appear- ance as Piscara, and Miss Clarendon as Florinda, in the “ Apostate.” They were received through- out with the greafest applause. Temrce or THE Musss.—This Floating Theatre is now moored at the foot of Delancey street,and is well patronised; ‘The Gumbo Family,” and “The Golden Farmer” goes down well, assisted by the vocal powers of Miss Manning, the light fantastic toe of Miss Dearing, and the comic powers of Mr. T. G, Booth. §g- Who is Mary Maywood?) Who? Who? Nova Scorta.—The Provincial Parliament ot Nova Scotia was prorogued on the 14th instant, after a stormy, and on the whole, ineffectual ces- sion. The majority of the local Governor’s ad- ministration was small, and the members were continually imitating larger and more important parliaments, by getting up quarrels between the ad- Ministration and opposition, assuch, upon the most trifling questions. ‘The whole number of acts pass- ed was fifty-one, of which twelve were merely private acte, and twenty-eight were alterations of former laws J Ooe hundred and twenty-eight vessels, compris- ing 11,792 tone, since 3,933 men, have been cleared out forthe seal fishery at St. Johns, N. F., this season. Pelthologian Society of Col. Coll. The annual exhibition of this society, in com- memoration of its thirty-niuth birth day, was held on Wednesday evening last, in the Rev. Dr. Macaulay’s church, in Eighth street, before a re- spectable, but aot crowded, audience. The exercises were commenced by the orchestra playing the introduction to La Gaza Ladra, to the thrilling strains of which the Peithologian and Phi- lolexian Societies, preceded by the Professors of the College, made their entrée. 1, Presidential Address. Joun J. Townsenn. This followed closely the beaten track which society presidential addresses have fallen into from time immemorial, being merely a siereotype edi- tion of what has been said fitty times betore on similar occasions. A dearth of originality, and a common-place manner of expression, often jarrrog unpleasantly on the ear, Were the promin-nt fea. tures of the address. Still, it was gracefully and neatly delivered, with good voice and action, and these, after all, are the great desiderata. 2. Spirit ef Chivalry. Jeznemian Lover. From the hackneyed nature of the theme, it was Not to be expected that much originality would be educed ; still it was very well managed, and proved that the writer possessed considerable knowledge of his subject. 3. Patriotism. R Carpe Ansorr. ‘This gentleman displayed much tact aud jockeyshipin disguising so worn outahobby under the mysierious exterior of Greek characters. The idea is an original one, and will go a great way towards making oe for the scarcity of that commodity in thespeech itself. Putting aside many assertions with re- gard to the nature of our institutions, that were more or tess erroneous, and excusing the oft sawder” on the Greek Protessor, we are rather inclined to be pleased with the toute ensemble. ould bint, however, “ en pas- sant,” that the Olympic stage monopolises the exclusive privilege of dur-iesque on Mr. Mcready, and if one in- dulges in sarcasm, he should remember that there ia but one #!op from the sublime to the ridiculous. 4. Perseverence and decision of character. Rr. Travis, jr. Patriotism and Independence—hurrah for liberty, stars and stripes—greatest nation in creation—guns, trumpety and thunder. n Reyne agin Wm. ayy erecta. OL aan. misprint, thor avery apparent one, must have es- caped the page of the - ramme,for the author of Zenobia certainly intended a (7) to be placed after the word poem. The poem, (?) however, had one merit of intrinsic value, which none of the rest possessed. It was brief—and “ brevity is the soul of wit.” 6. The Spirit of Poetry. J.

A disturbance in the vestibule prevented our hearing this gentleman, as his production was reported to have been beautifully written and deserving of the highest encomiums, The society deserve the highest pesiae for the arrange- ments, and getting up this exhibition. The orchestra (the Philharmonic), was superb, and the discourses on the whole, well written and delivered, though monstrous tong. Tavavs. T. G. Mircnei.. Mexico and Texas. We have no later news than what we published Wednesday morning. It will be perceived, by the annexed paragraph, that the movements in the Gulf are watehed with the interest they merit, and that they are of some importance :— (From N. O. Picayune, April 15.] Upon our first page will be found the important intelli gence received by the New York and Alabama. Theac- counts by these arrivals are such as may well induce the belief that the temper and firmness of the United States Government would soon be put to the test efatern ordeal Now that the question of annexation has fairly developed a struggle for ascendancy on this continent, between the U. State: and Europe, we look for the utmost energy and degpatch upon the part of Mr. Polk and his Secreta- ries. The British Government have provided Captain El- iiott with ships of war to assist him in corrying on his negotiations with the Mexican authorities ; and the Eng: lish Mercantile (7) Steam Marine is lending its aid to the despatch of intelligence having important relations to the contingency in hand. The Government of the United States snould back our Ministers with as efficient a naval force as the English have brought to the aid of Captain ope shortly to announce the fact that ient fleet in the Gulf to meet any contin- gency that may arise. Canada, There is nothing of consequence from any part of Canada. Parliament isnot in session, and the papers seem to be occupied with the past. @The terrible calamity in London, C. W., an ac- count of which has already been given, excites a considerable sympathy. The Kingston Whig of the 18th instant, says:— Our contemporaries are discussing the merits and de merits of this Yankee carrying trade measure with no little Mae Fini Our humble opinion i, that the bill is of no manner of consequence to the Canadian people. The Americans will let us transport goods on their canals and railroads,but ourown government wiil take precious care to rt on a prohibitery duty. The drawback bill may be made use of for the introduction into the province of light oods and small packages, to a limited extent, but no thing more, so that the whole advantages of this Yankee catchpenny are not worth talking abeut. The Lake Ontario royal mail steamers commence their ular daily trips to-day, leaving Kingston for Toronto e’clock in the evening, instead of 8 as formerly. T! at plying regularly between Rochester and Ogde1 touching atthis port. Thenew bark Eleanore, Custom House wharf yesterday even: on her first trip, under atremendous spread of canvass, and amidst the cheering of a vast crowd, collected to witness her departure. She is indeed a beautiful vessel, and by tar the largest afloat on our inland waters. The bay are making daily trips between Kingston and Belleville. The weather hes changed; from being windy, fine and dry, it has become chilly and rainy, which mu-i be regarded as the true harbinger of epring. Therain was much wanted. We take the annexed from the Quebec Mercury of the 17th instant :— ‘The thaw at Quebec still proceeds, and our roads in and out of the city are consequent; Aa bad. The river taciug the town is quite clear of ice, but that on the St. Charles and the north channel of the Island of Orleans ret . We have had a strong east wind since yes terday evening. The St. Lawrence at Montreal is clear, and the steamer between that city and Laprairie has com- menced her regular trips. The railcars alsorun from the latter place to St. Johns, and the Lake Champlain boats have resumed their summer station. The Montreal Pilot of the 19th gives the follow- ing:— The Courier seems unable to cenprehend: how the Lower Canada census returns can be correct so far as re- ards the table of the different religious denominations. The Roman Catholic population is estimated at 671,714, but he says the French Canadian and Irish population are only 562,577. He has, however, bg Und altogether the Canadians of British origin, in all 86,075. Now, as the natives of Ireland are 44,013, while the natives of Kngland and Scotland together are only 25.227, we may fairly esti- mate that out of the 65,075 Canadians of British origin, 50,000 are descendants of Irishmen. Add this to 662,577 and it will give 612,577 as the jt Re of French Cana- dian origin, Irish origin, and Irish Cansdian origin. As Catholic population is 671,714 there would ‘ance of 40,863 for Irish and Canadian Protes- is very ample. Theatricals, &c. Mr. Maywood ia about (o bring out a piece after the manner of Charles Matthew’s “At Home,” in which he will personify a Scotch character. Those who have seen his rehearsal, speak of it ia the highestterms. This gen tleman will shortly repair to Montreal {or the purpose of bringing this piece out. Sig'c Sanquirico is about to proceed to Europe for the ou ie of making engagements for a new jan Compa- ny im this city. Mr. Meignen’s benefit concert st the Musical Hall, on Tuesday evening, was attended by a large and brilliant audience. Miss Barry was warmly received, and sang in her best manner. Signor Rapetti, the cele. brated violinist, was also applauded with much enthusi- be tants, w! The Philharmonic Society give their extra concert this evening, when Miss Barry, Mr. Phillips, Mr. Norton, faster Sconcia,and other well known musicians are to appear. Mad. Borghese, and other members of the Italian troupe now performing in New Orleans, will terminate their en- gagements in that city about the first week in May, and and are expected :mmediately afterwards in this city. Mad. Pico and Sig’r Sanquirico have arrived in Boston, for the purpose of giving a Grand Concert atthe Melo deon, on Friday evening. Anew play, written by Mr. George Vandenhoff, is to ba brought out at Palmo’s next week; it is entitled “ Passion, or Youth and Ags. The Orphean Family are giving Concerts in Raleigh, North Cerolina. Mr. Henry ips gave his farewell Concert in Boston, on Tuesday evening, which was well attended.

Boaxp or Assistant Arpenmen.—Aasistant Alderman Evenvete in the Chair, he minutes of the last meeting having been read and approved, anumber of petitions were presented and ap- propriately reterred. Serving the Common Council with a Mandamus.—A man- damus was received from the Supreme Court, calling up- on the Common Council to show cause why they do net pay the deficiency of $1,975 in tho appropriation for schools cf the seventh and eighth wards. Referred to Counsel of the Board. R-ports.—The Committee on Streets reported in favor of paying Anderson Merritt the sum of $9 50, for paving streets in the 1ith and 17th wards. Adopted. The Committee on Roads and Canals reported in favor of building a sewer in 30th street, from Bloomingdale roadto the 8th avenue, Adopted. ss ‘The Committee on Lamps reported in favor of lighting Woeshington murket with ges. Adopted. A ‘The Cummittee on Streets reported the ordinance of Alderman Drake in relation to repairing streets, with some amendments. Laia oa the table. The Committee on Police, Watch and Prisons reported a resolution in faver of paying certsin members of the Municipal Poiice force for services performed by them by direction of the May or and Superintendent, prior to (heir regular appointment. Ad. CHan.icx opposed the adoption of the resolution,on the ground that it would he preposterous to pay mon for tae pe:formance of duties that they had no right to exer- cise—for by the same rule, a thousand men who had been promised office, could come in and claim payment. He moved to refer back. Alderman Jonnsoy, of the 11th, thought that the Alder man ofthe lst did’nt understand the resolution, and en- deavored to explain it, and statrd that some of the men had done double duty—been out all might, &c. , for which they were clearly entitled to receive pay. Alderman Cyan.icx said it was very true thet hohad not understood the resolution, and the gentleman’s expla- nation only served to render the necessity of a reference back much greater ; for according to his showing, some of the men bad perlermed double duty, and perhaps they would deserve double or treble pay ; it wes necessary to know who these men were, and how much they claim ed! Take what money you please out of the City ‘Trea sury, said Mr, Charlick, but let us know the items, and then if we can get it beck again, let us do it, but give us a chence, Alderman Jounson regretted that the police force had not been increased by the Common Council, for they were #0 scattered about town that it was impogsible to find them.— (Laughter) He bes soy the locofoco’s would give the city plenty of men in order to protect the city. Referred back to committee. hive nd Street Sewer—The committee on streets re- ported in favor of building the Chapel street sewer.—Laid on the table and ordered to be printed. Papers from the other Board —A number of rs were received from the other Board, the majority of which re- ceived a concurrent action, and the rest were referred to committees. The msjorityof the \y iy the President,with the greatest politeness, requested Board to be pleased to hear read, and to oblige him and reciprocate the cour. tesy, they listened to the reading, which was as prosy ‘and unintelligible as usual. ful—A repert of a committee of the other Board Was received, appropriating the sum of $500 as compen: sation for injuries received by Susan Dikeman, by having contracted an incurable disease from ing suckled a child xby direetion of the Commissioners of the Alms House in 1842. alana Henry wished to know something about the claim. Alderman Cuaruicx moved to have the sum payable in yearly payments of $100 each. Alderman Waxv—Oh, that wont be enough to pay her Dector’s bill. Cuanzicn—Ah, now the murder’s out. That is just what I wanted to know, whether this money was to be for her benefit or whether it was to be put in the peckets of the Doctors. lam in favor of her receiving the mo- ney forher benefit, but am oppos2d to the Doctor's bleed- ing the city treasury, and desire to put it in such ashape that it may do her some good. He moved to have it paid in yearly payments. Amended to quarterly payments— the first to be made on the Ist of May.and thus adopted. The City Property in Wall atreei—Financiering—Alder- man Cuan.tcx offered two resolutions, one of which was to prevent the Commissioners of the Alms House from selling any property belonging to the Alms House at Bellevue without first giving notice to the Commen Council, together with fe man. of sale, time, place, &s. Also calling upon the Commissioners to report what property has been sold, and to prevent any further dispo- sition of any. Alderman Cu: icx said that his res these resolutions was,frem the fact that he noticed, under the head of auction sale announcement, which he would read April 24th, at 11}o’clock, in front of the Walter Grenough, No. 24 Wall street: Oakum—for ac- count of whom it may concern, 200 bales of excellent hacd picked oskum. Also, a largo quantity of cut ware, silver ware, &c.; comprising a variety of goods Also, five orsix dozen allver table and tea spoons, plated coffe and tea urns, candlesticks, castor frames, ke., &c.” Now, we find the property of the city sold in Wall street for about one hulf of its value—literally given away. He had been informed thet some valuable’articles of furniture had been cold in this manner—thrown away. He had not supposed that just as the present party were going out of power, that they would take the furniture belonging to the city, that they had been using for a year past, and sel! it cff. “It was very remarkable that they should have just discovered that it was necessary to sell these articles.— When the new party came in they would have no account of sates, and could make out no inventory of property on hand. He had been informed that valuable shrubbery and fruit trees had been torn up from the Bellevue pro- perty and taken y- Piobeay eae when or by whom it.waa done. He was surprised thet the Alms-House Commissioners would suffer such we find 200 bales of cakum, cut gl aged goods, su; wines, &c. deal about the dameged flour thet this board found, and perhaps this isthe wey the Alms-House Commissioners intend to get rid of all such damaged property, that we may have no inventory to make, as our predecessors had. He trusted that the role pigee be stopped, as it was ad- journed till to-morrow, by the prompt a of the House Commissioners. A good deal ef excitement here Wat pes among the natives,and a number read the advertisemet to see if it was all real and no gammon about it. The Aldermen of the 18th said that the shrubbery had deen removed to Randall’s Is!and. Several members got up and said they didn’t know any thing about the matter, but thought it must be all right, &c , &o.

Go Home!—It is about two centuries since Englishmen left the little island of their birth, to establish an English population, language, arts, and religion, (Protestant) on a wide continent. They knew, when they quit the dear little islet, that there was no reom left on it to grow—that it was already become a little Ichaboe, too rich in old ruins and deposits for comfort. These Englishmen have now become twenty millions, while the islet contains about as many They are now told that the islet must regulate the movements on this continent—must say you shan’t go to Texas nor to Oregon. Well—there is one thing these Englishmen can do—they can go home again to the islet; and if the Englishmen on the islet have a mind to go to Texas and Oregon, there is no harm done. The Englishmen here have a right to be somewhere; avd I don’t see why they haven’t a perfect right ts zo home again, and let their countrymen try the change, by coming over here—it will be an agreeable change, and turn about. I have fixed my eye upon a bit of the old islet, somewhere on the Tums. We'll have aswap! we are great at swapping, and pretty restless any how-—much the same as when we used to cut about the German ocean, and go ashore upon the islet in good old times. We are Saxone still, and fear little and nothing at all. Our hair and skin have darkened/a little, owing to the hot sunshine of this New Mngland—and our locks are no lovger of the Harfuger sort, (tair hair.) Our accounts have been pretty well Kept since we quit the islet; we have not been lazy; we did not come for gold mines nor negroes. ‘There were no mines here thatewe knew off, and the last were put upon us—but we have touched up the bosom of this New Lngland and got out some milk—t little wheat~a pinch of snuff—a cigar or so and & emall chance of cotton. But it has been a hard job; there were so many rattle snakes to scotch— so many agues to shake off—such a swinging ot axes to down with the old trees of a forest 2000 miles long and 1000 wide—some Indians to manage and plenty of thuader storms, and some ice. Our jobs in railroading are pretty well on; the old Eng- lishmen will find here about twice as much of that iron yarn) spun as they have on the islet, and they will have some chance to row their wherries in our rivere, for the Jems isn’t as long as the Miseissipp) ~and if we didn’t go a-head preity smart, we zhouldn’t be able to get up from New Orleans te Pittsburg fast enough. Anyhow, if the islet won’ let us go to Oregon, we will get_in our boat and seud over to the old islet and sit down and cate) whot we can—and hope to get white again after staying there in the fog for a couple of centuries tam fora swap!

Bugnos Ayres anp Montevipgo.—A Paris paper of the 1st inst., contains the following information which is of some importance. Under so powerful an in- tervention, it can hardly be doubted that the disgraceful hostilities which have been so long carried on between these two powers, will be brought to a close:—“If we are to credit the friends of M. Guizot, Baron Deffaudis has been finstracted; to enjoin President Rosas’ army to cease all hostility against dsontevideo, and to recall on the Argentine terrivory. On the other hand, the combin- ed forces of England and France are to oppose the execu: tion of the blockade lately decreed bythe Dictator. In order to carry out those measures, Rear-Admiral Loine will have under his command, in the river Plate, the fri- ie Africaineand Erigone, the corvette Arethuse, and the gunboat brig Tactique.
