The Oregon Question, . The recent intelligence from England with re- spect to the Oregon question, created @ tre- mendous sensation in this city fora day or two, but it now appears to be rapidly subsiding.— All the mere party journals seem to be afraid of touching the subject at all. This question, however, is destined to exercise a prodigious influence on the events of the coming year—more than any one imagines. The Texas, the Brazilian question, or any other, willbe as dust in the balance, compared with this great subject of controversy and national disturbance. We have yet to hear from the East and South, and particu- larly from the great West, in order to be able to judge of the popular feeling with regard to the de- claration of the British government, as made in Parliament. Our firm belief 13, that this question will exercise on the internal polities of this coun- try, a much more important influence than the Texas question did. That question, as brought up by Mr. Tyler, was sufficient to demolish whole batches of old politicians, such as Clay, Van Bue ren, and others, and we should not be surprised if the Oregon question, in the shape in which it now comes before the country, were to determine the next Presidential election, Mr. Polk will be overwhelmed with the difficul- ties of his position—difficulties greatly aggravated hy the comparative weakness and imbecility of his cabinet. It isthe general belief in this cum- munity that if Mr. Calhoun had been retained a3 Secretary of State, a different direction would have been given to this importart and troublesome question, of the occupation of the Oregon Territory. And the belief is as genera! and as strong that Mr. Buchanan will be found unequal to the crisis, with all the other members of the Cabinet. Mr. Polk seems to have nerve and courage enough, but we doubt much whether his Cabinet will back him up. Atall events, let us wait and see the progress of public opinion on this most momentous and inter- esting question, on which Great Britain and the United States are directly and positively at issue before the world, without any prospect of a com- promise based on principles analogous to those on which the question of the North Eastern Boundary was settled. No statesman in this country—no administration. President—no Cabinet willever take the responsi ity before the fierce democracy of this great republic, of repeating the settlement of international difficulties in the manner adopted by Mr. Webster and Lord Ashburton in the case of the North Eastern Boundary. It will be sven from our Washington correspon- dence that the recent news from England created a great excitement in the capital. The funis only beginning. Democratic Squaneres in tHe LeGisLaTuRE.— We give in this day’s, from one of the Albany pa- pers, asketch of one of the recent debatesin the Assembly, on the State Convention question.— From the bitter, discourteous, and savage manner in which the democratic members have conducted these debates, it is tolerably apparent that the par- ty that elected Mr. Polk in this State, 1s rapidly approaching a state of complete disorganization. — ‘This convention business threatens to revolution- ise parties in this State completely. It is denounc- ed by some of the whigs, and is supported by oth- ers. Amongst the democracy it has excited a great deal of most violent difference of opinion.— What the result willbe, no one can tell. It may end in a complete disorganization of political par- ties, and the upheaving of the very foundation of the State government and State institutions. It has passed the House, but has not gone through the Senate yet. Tue Nattonat Institure.—We have received the third ‘ Bulletin” of the “ National Institute,” containing an abstract of its proceedings during the years 1842-43-44—45, with lists ef contributors and members. It is a very interesting document, and presents abundant and gratifying evidence of the practical and extended usefulness of this excellent institution. One of the most interesting features ia the opera- tions of this “ Institute” is the system of communi- cationwhich it has organized with the officers of the Army and Navy of the United States—the Consuls at foreign ports—and all the government agents and Tepresentatives abroad. A very important and va- luable mags of information has thus been already collected, and the future contributions from this source willbe constantly increasing in extent and value. An interesting and profitable correspon- dence is also kept up with all the principal scienti- fic institutions in Europe. But it is not only by means of its correspondence alone that the ‘Na- tional Institute” is adding largely to the treasure of knowledge. It begins to exercise a perceptible and salutary influence on the advancement of science and the arte in this country. Aemall annual appropriation from Congress would be well bestowed on this excellent institution. If thus assisted, it would very soon becomethe pride of the whole country. The friends of science and of the national advancement in literature, philoso- phy, and the arts, ought to give it their united and vigorous support. We do not know any way in which the small annual subscriptien of five dollars, which constitutes the title to membership could be better applied. We trust that the “‘ National {nsti- tute” will rapidly grow in public favor. A great deal of its success thus far, it is proper to add, may be attributed to the zeal, industry and talents of its Corresponding Secretary, F. Markoe, jr., Esq.— He is quite indefatigable in hia exertions to promete the prosperity and usefulness of the Institute. Sreampoat Accipgnts on THE NortH River.— Yesterday morning about 4 0’clock, the steamboat Empire, on her downward trip from Albany, met with an accident, but not of so alarming a nature as was rumored. The particulars are as follows: There being a dense fog at the time, the pilot mis- calculated his course, and ran her at least twenty feet through the whart at the foot of Nineteenth street, smashing her stem and injuring her bottom a little. As she was going at considerable speed, the concussion was very violent, and great contu- sion prevailed on board for some minutes amongst the passengers, who were taken on board the Knickerbocker,which came alongside shortly after- wards, and conveyed them in safety to the city. The Empire has been taken off, and has gone round to be repaired in the East River. Early yesterday morning, the “R. L. Stevens” met with an accident opposite “ Piank Point,” which might have proved fatal to the Pilot, who was at the wheel, were it not for his great pre- sence of mind. Her pillar blocks having broken her beam shot from its place, carrying with it the piston and air pump-rods, and falling with great | violence on the slide over the wheel from whence | the Pilot (observing the blocks give way) made an instantaneous exit. The force of the coming down of the beam bent the rods above mentioned, which if they had broken the beam would have gone through her decks, when the forfeiture of lives would have, in all probability, been the con- sequence. The steamboat “Belle” came up Just ai the moment and took all the passengers on board, from whence she conveyed them to their destina- tion es fg We are requsted to state that a] general at- tendance of the Committee appointed to solicit subscriptions for the Pittsburg sufferers willbe held at the Mayor’s Office, ning, at 7 o'clock.

SRE RR Sedosse ey ye pete cain tie Wat Se Stew BIDE Z Mopesn Scigncg ap Orv TuxoLocy.—A Geo- jogical Convention isto be held in New Havea in the course of a few days, which will furnish abun- dant materiais for interesting reflection to the maa of sctence—ihe professor of theology—the sceptic— the christian—and the calm and independent ob- server of the progress of the human mind in reli- gion and philosophy, Many of the most distin- guished scientific men of the country will on this occasion congregate at that pleasant little capital, celebrated for piety, clam-soup and philosophy, and @ very great deal of new and interesting light will be thrown on rocks, tetracanlodons and the books of Moses. Of all the inductive sciences, geology is, perhaps, at present attracting the keenest attention of philo- sophic men, and is likely to produce some very re- markable results on the religious belief of Christen- dom—nay, it already forms the point d’appui ot numerous and vigorous assailants of revealed reli- gion, Infidelity has, indeed, in one day adopted an entirely new system of tactics in ita crusade against Christianity. It has dropped the old mode ot warfare altogether. Iastead of gross and blasphe- mous aseaults on the character of the inspired wri- ters—instead of violent and irrational invectives— instead of course ridicule and miserable witticisme— instead of profane and impious language which dis- gusted all but those hardened in iniquity, modern scepticism enters the lists against the religion of the Bible with weapons selected from the armoury of science and philosophy, and appeals tothe universe itself—to the everlasting hills and the solid crust of the globe—as presenting irrefutable evidence of the falsity of the sacred writings. Pious and religious publishers—learned and saintly savans--venerable and holy divines-.are thus now seen uniting in an effert to overturn ancient theology, and all that system of religious belief which has been handed down from one generation to another. This is one of the most extraordinary phases of the age. The effect of this is manifest in many quarters. Scientific scepticism is fast be- coming fashionable. One cause of the rapid pro- gress of infidelity in this new guise, is the obstinate ignorance of many of the clergy,who persist in the DRE Ae. Calle ae 9 Sean ON ber Nt Most Alarming Fire—The Bowery Theatre Destroyed for the™ Fourth ‘Iime—Great Danger of the Surrounding Bulldings-— Promptness and Energy of the Engine, Hose and Lauder Compantie: Shortly after six o’clock last evening, a fire wos discovered ia the rear of the Bowery Theatre, by avolume of smoke issuing from the windows of the carpenter’s shop, immediately in the vicini- ty of the gas works attached to the establish- ment. ‘The alarm was sounded. Several engine and hose companies were on the spot, but were at a loss for some time to discoverjthe whereabouts of the fire, so as to ascertain the best locality for their efforts; in the meanwhile the flame made headway moat rapidly, threatening danger to all arouna, but the different fire companies were not idle,they got their hose in order and set the invaluable Croton at full liberty. They then commenced playing on the Tear of the building with great effect, but soon found it was useless, and then they turned their at- tention to the adjoining buildings, also the wooden frame buildings on the other side of Elizabeth street, opposite the rear of the Bowery. The en- gines, Empire and Southwark did most essential service, the former at the rear and the latter in fromt; and wherever the flames showed themselves a fresh, there were their hose directed, to euch an extent that when the attic windows of the house on the left of the Theatre caught fire, they played with such effect as to wash the whole away. Io the meanwhile the flames were making rapid pro- gress to the front, and the heavy wooden cor- tice over the entrance took fire, and spread with gteat rapidity to the great endangerment of the surrounding buildings; butthe activity of the dif- ferent fire companies soon got the mastery and confined the devouring element to a certain limit. During this time the scene was most awtul- ly interesting. Here might bz seen parties, in their anxiety to save their property, dashing chairs, ta- bles, beds, &ec., through the windows, not waiting to open them, but throwing them through theframes, smashing the articles to pieces in their fall. Others, far removed from the seat of immediate danger, re- moved their furniture into the street, to be run against and destroyed by the engines and other ve- hicles, and pushed about by the mob. Amid the turmoil of the scene, no one was more active than Hervio Nano, on the roof of Mesers. Bartlett’s Hotel, in the Bowery, calling out for those below to send him up a hose, and crying aloud that he would save the buildings. But he was unheeded; old literal interpretation of the Mosaic account of the creation, which has been so completely explod- ed by the discoveries of modern geologists.—A few enlightened theologians, however, yield their assent to the revelations of science, and have en- deavored to reconcile them with the account of the sacred historian. But the ultimate effect of allthis must be beneficial. Teachers of religion will be gradually driven from the old beaten tracks of dogmatic theology—rational systems of religious belief will prevail—and science will become the auxilliary of enlightened religion. But in the mean- time, we must expect to see a general up-heaving of the religious opinions andjthe sentiments of the age, and multitudes drifting about on the ocean of thought, lookingtin vain for a haven of repose, and at last lying stranded on the black shores of utter infidelity. Viewed in this, as well as in other respects, the approaching meeting of geologists at New Haven, will be full of interest. We shall accordingly des. patch a corps of reporters there, and give our read- ers an account of all the sayings and doings of the “wise men of the East.” Mr. Anperson’s Benerit Last Nigut.—Ander- son had the most splendid benefit at the Park last night, that has been givento any actor in this city for years. The house was crowded to suffocation. A great many ladies were present, and the house presented the most brilliant appearance. After the play of “Money,” Mr. Anderson was called for, and having been greeted by a tremendous burst of applause,he then addressed the house as follow: Ladies and Gentlemen—It is with some slight degree of embarrassment and mi: ing that Iventure to address you as I am given to understand that I have jeopardized,on for- mer occasions, the respect of the more sensible part of the public, by presuming to give a feeble utterance to those sentiments of esteem and regard with which your kindness has filled me. This censure grieves me in two ways; firstly, becauseI should besincerely sorry, by any tionof my own, to lose the respect of any man—the humblest in this thronged assembly ; secondly, because it would deprive me of the gratification of making for ny kind putrons the only return in my power—the fervent thanks offering of a grateful hearts. I, therefore, hope that you, at least, will not consider what I may say on such occasions as being uttered in any but the prover spi- rit, that of the sincerest acainte and respect. ‘Ihe liberal amonnt of favor with which you have honored me, both on the present and on former occasions, is very dear and flat- tericg to my personal f —but not on that account alone do I consider it valuable. No! It is because it contri- butes to the satisfaction of higher and more worthy feel- ings.

This is my satistaetion- my reward. I must now bid yea fora few weeks to fulfil engage- ments at Philadelphia and Baltimore, at the conclusion of which I vhall return to take my leave of you—"till then, permit me to say— Farewell, dear friends! kind friends, adieu ! ard the task to teach the lip And say, kind friends, farewell! 4 But harder still the task to me, In cold and worldly form, to be Constrained to say farewell ! Ths howrt will Saiepe ree a premand will whisper, pri 1, To bless and say farewell! Some one in the pit called out “three cheers,” as Mr. Anderson concluded, and three most en- thusiastic bursts of applause instantly followed.— What a contrast to the closing night of his first engagement in this city.

(Signed) CUEVAS. To His Excellency Governor of the Department of 5 In addition to the ubove, we have received a letter from Vera Cruz, in which it appears that there has been another attempt to revolutionize Mexico, and re-instate Santa Anna to power. It was only an attempt, for it was crushed at once. {Correspondence of the Herald.) * _ Vara Crvz, 2d April, 1845. The national feeling is detiy increasing against the United States. Oa the 23th ult, the govern- meat sent the American Minister a note signifying to him, that the relations between the two coun- (ries were stopped at presen: on account of the acts of the American government. The general cry is for war, but they are like the council of rats that were puzzled to know who should hang the bell to the cav’sneck. I think they would be very glad to acknowledge Texas as independent, pro- vided she wonld agree to remain an independent people or republic. A Frenchman, named Ribo, who has been in the Mexican service, and holds the title of captain of a frigate—the same person who fought a duel in New Orleans with Sentmenat—arrived here lately, and went to Mexicv. He endeavored to get upa evolution in favor of Santa Anna, with the help of some other officera. Their cry was viva Santa Anua and the Federal government; but the volun- eers turned outimmediately, and made the leaders seoners, The depositions of Santa Anna are finished and seat to Mexico, It mow remains to decide upon lily sentence. ; Che tariff appears to be forgotten in the smoke you have raised. cannot mention by name, in consequence ofthe confusion dent that the firemen had got the mastery of the devour- flame, illumining the whole atmosphere. not that it appeared to be actually necessary, but at the same time no one could have exercised himself more en- ergetically. At this time the alarm was so great that every one in the surrounding buildings, for several blocks distaat, began to remove all their valuables. At the sta- bles at the corner of Elizabeth street, immediately in the rear of the North American Hotel, some difficulty was experienced in removing the horses, many of which re- used to come out in the glare of the flames; and it wes only at the eeagejtion of a spectator, that a blanket, or horse cloth, was thrown over their heads and they were got out with safety. Now the fea thatthe frame houses on the opposite side of Elizabe:h street, atthe rear of the Bowery, would tignite and be consumed, as they lay er aistely to the windward. They caught several tim@®, but the activity of the fire ope ene prevented the extension of the evil in that di- rection. In about forty minutes after the discovery of the fire, the whole of the interior of the Bowery fell,with a tremendous crash, driving the flames out te a considera- ble extent, and making all those in the immediate vicini- ty fly with thegrestest rapidity. The effect at this mo- ment was awfully grand, illuminating the whele atmos- phere to such an extent as might be seen for several miles around. The throng ‘that crowded every part, al prevented the working of the different engines with full effect. Nor were the M. P.’sidle in endeavoring to keep order, and preventing the mob from rushing towards the adjoining buildings, or approaching the property carried outot them. Several times did the houses on the right und left of the Theatre, in the Bowery, take fire; but as quickly were the flames extinguished by the most daring acts of some of the firemen engaged, whom we t we prevailing. In about threo quarters of an hour it was evi- ing element, and it gradually subsided in one bright Ata later hour when the fire had somewhat ‘subsided, it was found that the strong party walls had protected the adjoining buildingy. ‘The whole ot the building is en- tirelyidestroyed, andjwith it, unfortunately the whole of the wardrobes of the performers, who will be the greatest sufferers. It is supposed tuat the whole amount of da- mage will be $25,000 or $30.000, and no insurance. This unfortunate place of amusement appeara to be doomed to destruction.

Cress-examined by Mr. Granam—Mr. De Brgnis came to the ottice in rather an excited state in consequence of an advertisement which appeared in the Sunday Herald, with which he was displeased. ‘The advertisement stat- edthe ring had beer recovered. De B. said thy thing must have been given out by the officer. Mr. Parenson offered to read the affidavit of Mr. De Begnis, as taken by the witness (Osborne ) Mr. Gaanam cbjected on the ground of the illegality of the introduction of such testimony ; on the ground that the affidavit ofa third could not implicate his client.—A_ moegistrate was notto be held liable by the mere atfidavit ofa party, who may chose to place it in the police office. Mr. Hovrman contended that inasmuch as the affidavit in question was part of the res gesta, the aflilavit ought to be mtroduced iu: evidence. Mr. Grauaw replied there were two offijavits—one taken on the Ith of July, and the other on the 20th July, the attic: in question was taken on the 20th of July, t charge being confined to the lth July, it would be illegal, preposterous, and contrary to all legul rule to put the Justice on trial upon any matter which was not specified in the charge. ‘The question on introdueing the affidavit in evidence was teken and negatived. M ‘eKsON hereupon tendered the affidavit of Wm. B. Letts, in relation to the seventh specification, first charge :—that onthe Lith day of November, 1844, Robert Vaughan and Wm. F. Price were arrested and brought be- tore the said Justice William Waln Drivker upon a charge of grand larceny in stealing @ drait of the Rochester City Bank, upon the American Exchange Bank of New Yerk, for thres hundred dollars, which seid draft was stolen from one Wm. B. Letts, on the 19th of September, 1844, when on his iT from Troy to New York on board the steamboat Swallow, and that on the 12th day of No- vember, 1844, the said Justice discharged the said priso- ni without proper examination, and without bail. ffidaviis of parties proving the existence of the draft in question, were put in and admitted. These affi- davits also showed how the draft got into Lett’s poases- sion, through a party named William Armstrong.

The revo- lution, and late war of 1812, show that short enlistment of volunteers was attended by serious evils, and, in many cases, disaster. Whole com- panies moved off the field of battle, because their terms expired on that day, and produced, oftimes, serious panics.

The feeling in Wall street, among stock opera- tors, ia much better than at any time during the past week, and although there are hundreds of reports current magnifying the dangers of a war with three ditterent na- tions—Great Britain, Brazil and Mexico—there appears to have been avery sudden and rapid inérease in conf dence in all kinds of securities. e The war fever a to have subsided in Wall street, and the dispoi ion to speculate in all kinds of stocks is much stronger since the arrival of the Caledonia than before. Even in the face of a contraction in the bank movement of this city, the stock market is evidently im- roving. Money is by no means plenty, and the rate of terest full up to the legal sandard. This uvlooked for improvement, in the face of these facts, gives operators strong grounds for anticipating a great advance in prices after some of the difficulties in our external relations, and in the money market, are settied. The barks heve deter- mined upon pursuing a prudent course, and; the contraction of foans anticipation of the quarter- ly returns for May, will not be resumed immediately af- ter. The bulk of the spring business will by the lst of May be over,ond the donaiegen the banks for discounts reduced. ‘The mercantile classes of this city ure not ina condition to command large credita from the banks. The Southern and Western business for the past two seasons, has been so unprofitebls, and many houses have become ¢o deuply involved in that business, that the banks have, for some time past been very cautious in ex- tendiag the credits of these houses and bave no doubt byre- fusiog;to discount their paper, hastened the suspension of several. The failure ef bouses,extensively engaged in that trade, is inevitable, aud must come sooner cr later. When we assert that a very large number of the dry goods job- bing houses, which have for some time past beon doing almost exclusively a Southern busines, are this momext insolvent and cannot continue meeting their en- gegements at maturity much longer, we do so for the purpose, if possible, of influencing those about jovolving themselves in that trade, to be extreme- ly cautious and get in no deeper they possibly help. The large profits of that business are very tempting, and it ia not surprising that new houses are anxious to get a run of it, but it is as ruinous in its re- sults, when carried to a great extent, as it is flattering in the incipient stages. We have seen houses of large capi- tals and immense resources become bankrupt under it, and No one can hope to escape when ti risk every thing in a branch{of business that depends al it entirely upon the seasons, andthe price of one ofthe many staples of the country. The success of our wealthy | jobbing houses, can almost entirely be attributed to a proper distributien of their credita throughout the differ- ent sections of the country. A |: business, conducted stem, may be made table; at all events, gaged in it would not be subject to the sudden actuation, a dependence upen the trade of one section ! of country frequently produces. The South-western trade of this city, and many engaged in it have been ruined this season, in censequence of the low price of the staple of that section in allthe markets of the world. The | solvency of the people ofthe South, from season to sea- son, depends upon the extent of the yield, and price of cotton. A favorable season, and high prices, liquidates all their indebtedness, and enables those tra: with them to realize large fprofits; but an unfavorable§ season, and low prices, preventsthem from meeting their payments \ when due; and, in many instances, ruins their creditors. Ia consequence of the disereait, the condition of the southern and western States has placed upon a large fortes of the jobbing houses of this city—the ba ave preferred making Joans on stock security to discount- ing} business paper. These Jeans havo, during the past quarter, been very large—too large to appear im their re- ports—and a reduction has been going on within-the past | two orthree weeks. An extension, to a certain extent, ; will, without doubt, take place soon after the ist proximo, j but we are informed that the movements of the banks, for atime, will be very prudent, and free from any disposi- tion to expand beyond a safe and proper limit. ‘The receipts of tha Mohawk Railroad Company for the week ending the 2ist instant, show a very small increase on those for the corresponding period last year :— Monawx anp Hupson Ratiroap. i Week, ending April 2ist.
