SND Seok Vv YORK HERALD. Nienty [meortant DeveLorpments REeLative TO wae Lars Cuinese Taeaty —We give in this day’s paper some very interesting developments relative to the negociation of the late treaty with China. The correspondence is sufficiently explicit, and presents thet prominent actors in that business in the true light. It is quite evident that to Commo- excitement on the Oregon question, fthe United States with Great nis subject is the great engrossing topic dore Kearney belongs the credit and honor of s, and the newepapers of all parties are | taking the preliminary steps, and, im fact, conduct- taking it up all over the country. The Washington | ing to a successful issue, the Chinese negotiations. Great injustice was, indeed, done to the gallant Commodore, by the ignorance, prejudice and ob- tuseness of the late President and Secretary of the Navy, and by whom his merits and labors were kept hidden in the files of the Navy Department.— But we have been enabled to bring them forth, and and to show that not to a politician or statesman of the day, but to a gallant officer of the American navy, this country is really indebted for the success cf the Chinese negotiations. We do not mean to detract at all from the merit ef Mr. Webster or Mr. Cushing in the part they have respectively taken in this business. Mr. Cushing has shown himself to be a man of great tact and discernment, and a good deal of talent. He conducted his share ofthe negotiation with a great deal of skill and diplomacy, but both he and Mr. Webster have done great injustice to Commodore Kearney, in this matter, by attempting to claim all the honor Globe, which is to be regarded as the organ of the government, and the minor mouth-pieces through. ut all the ramifications of the administration ty, @re speaking out in the most vehement and rr. Oae tone appears to charac. c press, and all declare at once seir firm determination, of sup- eident in the position which he has insist that Oregon is to be taken pos- nesitating men. > democr exsity, ting the P: > only expression of dissent from the over- ielming popular feeling on this subject, comes ‘ans of the commercial and stock-job- i crests in the large cities,such as the Courier and Enquirer, the Journal of Commerce, and Balti- e American.; Aud nothing, perhaps, could more ingly cemonstrate the mere sectional charac- nd coatracted mental capacity of these agents igwes,than their articles on the present relations two countries, and the probable course of | of completing the treaty with China.— events which awaits development in‘the brighten- | Jt will be seen from the correspondence, ing future. They affect to deny that there is any | which we publish to-day, that all the thing at all threatening in the present aspect of na- tional affas—assurexs, stoutly insist onit, that cotton, tobacco, and stocks, must forever control the destiny of the republic—that a war is impo:si- ble, aud denouace, with an air of virtuous indigaa- toa, all whoventure to express the opinion, that to 2 people experienced in the use of democratic liberty, and rapidly attaining the most command- % position among the nations of the earth, may possibly be committed the work of engaging in the last decisive conflict with the monarchical and des- potie dynasties of the ancient world. The Courier & Enquirer, however, exhibits a strange mixture of conflicting opinions. It takes all sides of the ques- tioa. It denounces the war feeling, and yet its voiee? also, is for war. It abuses Mr. Polk for as- suming our unquestionable right to Oregon, and yet calls on the administration to maintain every inch of its ground. The Courier, it is evident, does not know its owa mind on the matter, and its rea- ders are, of course, in a state of equal perplexity. It is consolatory, however, to reflect that this etate of dubiety 1s not likely to lead, in the meantime, toany very serious disaster. Whilst, therefore, the mere organs of commer- cial and stock-jobbing cleques are ridiculing the idea ot any interruption of the peaceful relations between the two countries, we will take the liberty of echoing the popular cry. What is to be done ?— What should the government of this country do? ft is very evident that Great Britain is in earnest in her announcement of uncompromising hostility to oux claims to the Oregon territory. She assures us that she is prepared to maintain her pretensions st every hazard. She is certainly at this moment in a very excellent condition for enforcing her claims and carrying ber threats into execution.— She has settled her difficulties in the East. She has satisfactorily arranged the Chinese affair. She has at present no particular business in the way of war on hand. Her financial condition is prosper- ousin the highest degree. She was never, in fact, more powerful, more unembarrassed, more able to effect her purposes than now. It is surely, then, incumbent on our government to make some pre- paration for meeting this formidable enemy. The whole country should be put into a state of defence atonce. The President should immediately sum- mon an extre session of Congress. The navy and army should be increased. The militia should be re-organized, and put in such a condition as fo pre- sent a more reliable means of support than am armed mob. The defences of the country should be made werihy of the name. All the recent im- provements in naval warfare should be introduced. A steam navy should be erected at ouce, which could be used in counection with commerce, and be alwaysin readiness for actual service. Com- munication between the great cities along the coast and in the interior, should be established by means of the magnetic telegraph. This is the wey to ne- gotiate. Wedo not wish awar. We deprecate ar. It would be a great calamity. But we do not wish to see the country humiliated. We de- sire tosee the country in a proper posture of de- fence, fully prepared with the means of negotiating with honor and success. It is most necessary that this country be fully impressed with the importance of the subject-mat- ter of the present controversy withtEngland. It is a quarrel forthe right of way through the great territory of the Oregon to Chiva and the East. England wiehes to seize upon that, and so main- tain her chain of communication around the globe. it is not a contest for the possession of a barren territory. It is the same movement on the part of England,‘but on a far larger scale, which sought to secure her claims in the North Eastern Boundary question. She desired to possess a certain portion of the North-East territory bordering on Lower Canada and New Brunswick, in order to obtain the right of way between the two colonies. Now she seeks to obtain the right of way between her Canadian possesions and China, securing the means of obtaining swift intelligence from the East, in connection with the North-Western trade. This is the magnificent prize for which England now con, tends. There is only one course left to the administra- tion. They must maintain their position. They can do that only with arms in their hands. We, therefore, callon President Polk to convene with- out delay an extra session of Congress, for the pur- pose of perfecting the means of national defence, and enabling the government of this republic to maintain iteelf with dignity, honor, and success. principal points of that treaty and the dispo- tion of mind necessary to bring the Chinese to make it, were effected by the exertions of Com- modore Kearney—by his good sense and directnese of purpose, and the vesselswhich he commanded. {t isindeed quite unworthy ef the fame and repu- tation of Mr. Webster and Mr. Caleb Cushing that they should attempt to monopolise the great merit which rightfully belongs to Commodore Kearney. We have also obtained a fac simile of one of the documentsinthe Chinese characters, which was received by the Commodore in the course of his negotiations,‘and which we will have had engraved for the Weekly Herald of next Saturday, to accom- pany this important correspondence. “Tue New Corroration—Locat imPpRovemEnNts. —The new Corporation are now on the eve of as- suming the heavy responsibility that devolves upon the City Government. With the solemn warning before their eyes, in the fate of the so called na- tive” party, it isto be hoped that as soon as they shall have fully completed the machinery of the government and distributed the spoils of office, they will at once set their hands to work and give the people of this large metropolis of the Union, some practical evidence of their sincerity to reform some few of the many erying abuses that have so long existed in this city. The partizanship and discreditable system of office-begging, that have hitherto operated so as to prevent the practical carrying out of those mea- sures of reform they have (all the parties,) pro- fessed to introduce, will no longer be tolerated by the great bulk of our community. The public mind has latterly become more enlightened on the subject of the. governmental discipline practised by our city fathers in the Corporation. The system of jobbing, with a view te bestow patronage on some partizan favorite, hasbeen so abused, that the people have turned from it with disgust. The party now in power, in order to maintain the strong foothold they have taken, must make a bold, a vigorous effort, to improve the public thoroughfares of the city. No narrow, stingy mea- sure of reform will go down with the people. We could instance so many quarters of the city that require improvement, so as to be able to swell the catalogue to a large amount. Look to Broadway! The disgraceful condition of this vast thoroughfare has been so repeatedly commen- ted upon by us, during the reign of the dishonest imbeciles, who have been so universally drummed. out of office, that we approach the subject again with eomewhat of reluctance. The project of paving Broadway with blocked granite, is one that will greatly tend to improve its present almost dilapidated condition. It should be pressed, vigorously and strenuously, from the very outset, by the new Corporation. There is no part of our city that more requires the immediate attention of the anthorities taan this very Broad- way. Independent of the wretched condition in which it is placed, there are many other abuses existing in this vicinity, that should be remedied with promptness and energy. The omnibus sye- tem should be thoroughly reformed. The racing carried on, to the danger of life and limb, is only surpaseed by the impudence with which these dri- vers, not satisfied with having the privilege of dropping passengers on the cross-ways, but they invariably take up the whole space by their horses and vehicles, so as to impede the progress of the foot passengers across the streets. it is also in contemplation to open, in continuation from Cana! street, a pussageto the Bowery, and to improve the public sewers, so as to make them connect, by the formation of a large reservoir, to run from the latter place, and join the one in Canal street. The opening of such a street, on a magnificent scale, such as Bowery and Broadway, connecting these two of our finest streets, and the formation of a large public sewer, direct to Canal street from Bowery, opens such a field for public improve- ment, that we cannot too strongly recommend it. The condition of the branch streets that intersect in this line from Canal street, direct to Bowery, admit of considerable improvement ; and, viewed in every aspect, such a project would greatly beau- tify and improve the localities we refer to. Vavg or THE Express Linss —We are 20 fre- quently indebted to the express Jines, centering in this city, that we feel constrained to notice them —their enterprize—and their value to the commu- nity. There are three lines, which, centering here, di- verge to all points of the Union. The first is A and Co, the Great Eastern, Southern, and South- Western forwarders. They now run through to Portlandjat the Eust, New Orleans at the South, and St. Louis at the West. They have one or two hundred men in their employ, who work on an average twelve hours a day, and are remarkable for their energy and enterprize. They take par- cels in this city and deliver them safely, in at least a hundred different cities on their route. In addi- tion to this, they have an English and French line, through which they forward to all partsof Europe, by every steamer and sailing packet from New York, Boston and Philadelphia. Indeed, their mame and business is spread over the whole world. The second is Livingston and Wells, the Great Northern and North-Western line. ‘This concern bas been on the route for several years. They have one of the best arranged houses in this city, for the business in which they are engaged. They tun to Albany, Buffalo, Montreal, to all the inter- mediate towns and cities, and to almost every point on the Great Lakes. They are also engaged in a Foreign Ageney, in which they transact a large businees. They are indomitable in their enterprize, and are everywhere favorably known. The third line is Gay’s. Thie has just started into exietence. Thus far it has warmed by the public patronage, and as itis conducted with skill and prudence, it may shortly increase into an exten- sive forwarding establishment. Mr. Gay runs to and from Boston, and carries emall parcels. These three lines are of great value to not only the mercantile classes, but the whole community. The cheap postage sysiem has been brought about by them and the independent press of the country, and they will, therefore, continue to receive the support of the public. No setof men have ever displayed more spirit and enterprise than the man- gers of this line. They have become a marked feature of America. IncrEasz or TRavet to Evrorg.—In no one year has the prospects of travelling to Europe opened so favorably asin the present. The steamer Great Western, packets Liverpool, Siddons, Argo, Silvie de Grasse, &c., have sailed within the last four weeks crowded to the utmost with cabin pas- sengers. All the packets to sail in May, the splen- did Yorkshire, the magnificent Queen of the West, the fiae Stephen Whitney, and popular Sheridan, are rapidly filling np. The Stephen Whitney, we believe, is full; the Sheridan nearly so; and the swift Yorkshire, to sail on the 16th, and the stately Queen, to leave on the 21st proximo, have more than half their berths engaged. Americans will, this year, spread over Europe in great numbers. Movemenrs or THe New Corporation.—The democratic members of the new Corporation had another informal meeting the other eveni pg, anda number of candidates for office were selected, to be presented to the board afier their taking their seats. The following were the names mentioned on the occasion Edwerd Viesiagee, get aot ti Walter: y Deaty Rooper Blackwell's as G. Nash, ditto. ’ nfs Fy Beekman, Clerk in the office of the Clerk of Com- A. Rs Jolie, ngpector Weights and Measures us SwaLLow Accipent.—The select commit on the Swallow disaster, made a report in the Senate, on Saturday, concluding by introducing a vill for the better seeurity of persons carried on Camboats navigating the Hudson River, which ead twice and referred. The report cxone- ated every one but the pilot. It is to be hoped hat the recent disasters on the Hudson, as well as that to the Swallow, will stimulate the Legislature (9 pass some strict laws. we Viratnta Unt been settled esity Trovsres have all Livets ann Lies Séris.—We tee it stated in some of the papera, that some person by the naine of “Huav”’ has been prosecuting the proprietor of the New York Herald tor an alleged libe', contained in a police repcrt published last summer, in whieh his name was mentioned in concection with some facts transpiring atthe Police Office. It appears that ef er a great deal of expenditure and the em- ployinent of a prodigious array of counsel, inciu ding A L Jordan, Esq, and Ex-Mayor Morris, (Muiticaw'is Morris) and some other lawyers, he procured a verdict of fifty dollars damages against the Herald. On inquiring into the facts of the case, we have fouod, from our police reporter and lawyer, what they really are, forthe truth is,that for months after the suit was commenced we never knew what these facts were, or who Mr. Hunt was, or what he had to do in the Corporation. It appears, then, that our reporter ingiving a statement of the pro- ceedings at the Police Office, coupled with the name of this Hunt the epithet of “informer,” he hav- ing given information to the municipal authorities against certain hotel keepers who had, it was al- lezed, contravened the ordinances of the Corpore- tion, in selling spirituous liquors on Sundays, or in some other way. The whole gist of the libel was contained in this word, “informer,” and on this point the judge (Ulshoeffer) charged the jury, that if they considered the word applied in an improper sense they must fiad a verdictfor the plaintiff. Oa examining this case—the judge’s charge to the jury, and several other important points—we are pertectly satisfied that the opinion.of the Judge, and the verdict of the jury, cannot be sustained in law. It is a miserable and contemptible matter, for fifty dollars, to carry up a case of this kind to the Supreme Court ; but we mean to do so, and if need be to bring it before the Court of Errore. We have adopted this course becauee it is necessary, as a sort of defence against these petty suits, to ascertain precisely what the law is, according to the decisions of the highest legal tribunal of the.State, 1 relation to police re- ports, and the mode of expressing them, as now car- ried on by the newspapers. Towards Hunt, the person who has sued us, or any ether party occu- pying a similar position, we can have no feeling, either one way orthe other. The only recollec- tion that we have of Hunt,'s hiscalling at our office long after the publication in question, and making some complaint about it. We replied—* Make out a statement of your grievance asyou under- stand it, and we will publish it with the greatest pleasure in the world.” Mr. Hunt, it seems, was fot satisfied with that assurance, but commenced a suit, and we are informed that there are eight or ten, perhaps fifteen or aixteen, similar suits about to be brought for police reports, against the proprie- tors of the other newspapers in this city, provided the case against the Herald sueceeds. Now‘ here is the point on which we are prepared tu contest the matter. Having directed our coun- sel to investigate the whole affair, we have every belief that the charge of Judge Ulshoeffer is not sound in law, and that the verdict, of course, must fall to the ground. Though we mean thus to pro- secute this case,fyet, if Mr. Hunthad wanted $50 or $100, as a matter of charity, as would indeed appear to be the case from the pathetic appeal of his lawver, ex-Mayor Morris,( Multicaw/is Morri:,) we would have cheerfully contributed that sum to aid a fellow-beiag in distress. But whiie we are ready to give forcharity, we wili not be inti- midated by law or lawyers. We do not believe that the decision in the case can be sustained, aud we mean to test it before the Supreme Court, and, if necessary, the Court of Errors. Important NavaL Movement.—The fleet or the Gulf of Mexico hasprobably sailed from Norfolk. We learn from the Norfolk Herald of the 25th inst. that Com.

There had been a great excitement at that place in consequence of the discovery of a conspiracy to subvert the existing government. It was increased by the arrests of several persons concerned in it.— After the execution, however, of four of the con. spirators, order was restored, This wae probably a part of Herrard’s party.

Probably he will pass over to Pris and bring outa ballet. He may make terms with Taglion',or some othergreat scar, either iv England or France The success of the Park theatre, during the J.st few months, par- ticularly during the last engagement of Mr. Ander- son, haa been immense. ‘The entire season} has been exceedingly profitsbla—the best for many years. The Seguins commence their engagement to night, and no doubt the * Bohemian Girl” will draw still better audiecces than when it was first produced,the Italian Opera being then a formidable competitor. All the fashionable world, indeed, may now be expected at the Park, for music is all the rage in this city. The destruction of the Bowery theatre will hardly make a void in theatrical amusements in that re- gion of the city. We learn that the “Bowery Am- phitheatre” is to be converted into the ‘Bowery Theatre,” and gives its first dramatic entertain- ment on Monday, May 5th. Tryon 1s manager, and its location is capital for the succession. The prices and process will be the same as that of the old burnt-up Bowery, and Tryon will no doubt take the tide at the flood. It is said, too, that Hamblin, who has lost all the earnings of the last seven years, has not lost his spirit, energy or perseverance—he ia already preparing to build a new theatre opposite the Hospital, in Broadway, and a superb location itis. But, in the meantime, what are he and the many thrown out of employment to do? With regard to Hamblin himself, we have had some passes with him in former years, but we are now willing to forget the past. With the recent sad calamity on his shoulders, the poor man is mndeed to be pitied; and therefore we say Ict by-gones be by-gones, and are willing to lend him any aid in our power. He has been punished severely enough by an overruling destiny for any errors he may have committed, and he really possesses a good deal of indomitable courage and many pretty fair traits of character. Adversity will doubtless make him like others who are subjected to its discipline, a wiser and a betterman. What can we do for him? Itis said that Hamblin is tryiag to get hold of Palmo’s. But there will be a good deal of difficulty in this. Dioneford, who has been rather unfortu- nate there, now hopes to retrieve his losses; and Dambleford has also, it appears, taken the theatre from Palmo, as one of the original proprietors, so that the two D.’s are now hard at work trying to diddle each other out of the theatre. As both are pretty good fellows, both Dinneford and Dumble- tord, we shall take care to report progress, and let the public know, as soon aspossible, who is to have Palmo’s theatre. The fight, however, will be ter- rible and vastly amusing. Ia the midst of this war between the two D.’s, who knows but Hamblin may step into it for & season? Thus we go in the- atricale—burn, burn, burn—fight, fight, fight— siruggle, struggle, struggle. Movements of Travellers.

There is, however, asad want of wrial perspective in the dead soldier and the distant groups, for they do not seem to be far away, but smaller mea.

Ourracgous Arremrr at Murpzr.—It has sel- dom been our lot to record a more fiendish at- tempt to commit murder than the following :—On Thurs- day night last, at a late hour, a gentleman passing down St Francia street, observed a woman with a bundle in her hand stealing into the yard of a respectable family living above Cedar street, and suspecting from her on some errand of mischief, wat! heratten’ ly- She was seen to serene well and throw the bundle into it, which fell with a heavy sound. When she retired, the gentleman immediately awakened the family, and informed them of what had sed, stating at the same time bis opinion that poison been thrown into the water. His timely and friendly notice was heeded, and all communication with the weil being stopped, yesterday morning search was made, and abrickbat found, to which was attached a package of arsenic, evident!y threwn in for the malicious and ish purpose of poisoning some of the inmates of the house, The fem who was seen by the only witness of the transaction, is an abandoned woman, by the name of Eliza Davis, but who, when in Cincinnati, went by tha name of EilenE.

M. There have been several movements within the past week which it was supposed weuld affect the stock merket very unfavorably ; but they have passed away, and prices closed yesterday several per cent higher than have been current within the past two or three weeks It was anti. cipated, on the receipt of the news by the Caledonia, that stocks would receive @ severe blow, on account of the wariike tone of the Britis ministry in relation to Oregon. These anticipations were, in a measure, real ized, and quotations fell off within the next twenty-four hours several per cent; but prices soon rallied, and a decided improvement followed. The departure ef the Great Western was another eause of a temporary de, cline. The advices per the Caledonia were received in the markets of this city on the 23d instant, avid the Great Western left on the 24th, so soon after the Caledenia’s arrival thet the markets had hardly time to recever from the first shock of the news received. Whenever the bears of Wall strect are in the ascendancy, and have the control of the stock market, they make it @ puint to de press the market en packet-day, for the purpose of affect. ing the markets abroad, which, in turn, operatesjon our local markets, and gives those bearing down prices a two-fold power in carrying out their object. The stock market is in @ very peculier position. A few weeks since, any trifling rumor, predicting a rupture with Mexico, would deprers stocks and cause a decline in prices of ene or two per cent. Even en exciting debate in Congress would create a flurry ameng stock operators, endangering prices, and requiring several days to regulate and quiet down. An anticipated difficulty with Brazil created a panic in the stock merket which required several days to allay, while our recent ad- vices from Great Britain, of a more important and exciting nature than has been received for years before, had but aslight injurious effect upon the stock market,which was immediately followed by an advance greater than has been realized for at least three or four weeks pre- vious. We cau only attribute of this state of things to the absence of other speculative movements in the markets, and a greater accumulation of capital in the street, to be employed in stocks, either os permanent investments or speeulations. There have re cently’ been attempts made to get up a corner in some of the ateple articles of consumption in this country, such as beef, pork, sugar and coffze. Some of these attempts have proved abertive, and alter a desperate effort, those engaged withdrew themselves from the movement, and the excitement rapidly subsided. The capital that esger- ly cought employmeat in these things, hes return- 1 to the street, end for the want of a safer and more pro- ‘able investment, it must go into stocks. In this wey we can only account forthe rapid rise in stocks, in the face of accounts from England, which cannot at least be con- sidered otherwise than belligerent, and indicative of much difficulty. There in another peculiar feature inte sock market. Any eorner that may be got up of any of the fancy stocks, does not have that influence upon others in the list, wsual, whereas adecline in any stock, from any cause, is sure to (carry others down with it.— This shows a very unsettled, feverish state of prices, and is sufficient to convince those interested, that it is much safer to be involved in such es Norwich and Worcester, Long Island and other railroad stocks, that must eventu- ally, no matter what the operatiens in the street may be, become good investments, and come back again to a point ull as high, if not higher, than ever yet reali Specu- tations in faacy stocks, having no real value at present or in the perspective, are generally very hazardous, and calculated te pretty effectively use up any inexperienced individual’ who is desperate enough to go into them. We annex a table ef comparative quotations for some of ‘he principal stocks used for speculation in this market, foreach day of the past week, also the closing prices for the week previous. There has been a slight improve- ment in nearly every stock in the list.
