NEW YORK HERALD. 1845. New York, Monday, May 1 The Electro Magnetic Telegraph—A Great Revolution Appreaching. It is announced on authority that appears to be re- | liable, that arrangements have been completed for the establishment of a telegraphic communication between this city and Philadelphia, and that the wires wall be extended from the latter city to Balti- more; thus making the chain complete between | Washington and this metropolis. A line is also to be Where's Old Major Noah !—The Solution. Of late, a number of correspondents have been putting this inquiry to us—“Where’s old Major Noah now{a days ?’—“What’s become ofthat amiable old ; weathercock politician?” Is he still alive, or gone into the old clo? trade ?” In order to be able to answer these enquiries, we directed, the other day, several] of our reporters to make an investigation into all the old clo’ shops of New York, in the range of Chatham street—hoping that some information might be found, in that quarter, of the whereabouts of this Hebrew curiosity—this amiable broken-down established between New York and Boston. The | telegraphic intercourse between Baltimore and | Washington has been conducted with a great deal | of activity, and the revenue already considerably ex- ceeds the expense of its operation. Merchants are availing themselves of this means of communication, and business orders have been thus transmitted from city to city. | The establishment of thefelectro-magnetic telegraph | in this country may now be regarded as having been | permanently begun. In France and England still | greater progress has been made in the establishment of this wonderful agency. We have already seen | numerous instances of its efficiency in aiding the | ministers of justice in the apprehension of criminals; and in a variety of ways, its immense value as an | instrument in the hands of government has been de- monstrated. If this mode of transmitting intelli | gence fully succeeds and come into universal opera- | tion—as no doubt it will—an entire revolution in | many of the present institutions and elements of so- ciety, will be effected. | In the first place, the present system of epistolary correspondence will be completely revolutionized. The mail establishment will be entirely broken up, 4s; it must{of necessity fall into comparative desue- tude. Government must be impelled to take hold of consul—this kind broken-down_politieian—this vir- tuous broken-down editor-——broken down Judge,&c. After a diligent search and at an enormous expense, our corps of reporters ascertained that the Majo" had actually sunk into the editor and proprietor of a low, vulgar, dirty, obscure weekly paper, issued somewhere near the Five Points, or Chatham row— that he was driving away at his old trade of slander and politics—that he still showed symptoms of the blood of Judas Iscariot and Barabbas mixed in a small way—that he had nearly reached the end of his career, and that his last hold was only a feeble grasp upon the old breeches (cost of mending the hole only 624 cents,) of Secret iry Marcy, now by accident in Mr, Polk’s cabinet—and that he was looking out either for « pork contract—a consulship at Ichaboe—or, at a'l events, a lot of old clothes worth thirty pieces of silver, to gratify his taste for spoils in his old age. In order, however, that our inquiring readers may te fully informed from the amiable old Major him- self, of his position and prospects, we have made the following extract from a copy of his last Sunday paper, which, like a true Jew descended from the race of Barabbas, he publishes weekly on the Christian Sab- bath. The initials and some of the names are only altered so as to shew precisely his present occupa- it, and create a new mail establishment out of the | invention. Then again, in regard to the newspaper | press, it will experience to a degree, that must ina | vast number of cases be fatal, the effects of the new | mode of circulating intelligence. The telegraph may | not affect magazine literature, nor those newspapers | that have some peculiar characteristic. But the | mere newspapers—the circulators of intelligence | merely—must submit to destiny, and go out of exist- ence. That journalism, however, which possesses | intellect, mind and originality, will not suffer. Its | sphere of action will be widened. It will, in fact, | be more influential than ever. The public mind will be stimulated to greater activity by the rapid circulation of news. The swift communication of tidings of great events, will awake in the masses of e commiuntity still keener interest in public affairs. us the intellectual, philosophic and original jour- nalist, will have a greater, amore excited, and more | thoughtful audjence than ever. The revolutions and changes which this instru- mentality is destined to effect throughout society, cannot now be at all realized. Speculation itself, in the very wildness of its conjectures, may fall far short of the mighty results that are thus to be pro- duced. One thing, however, is certain, this means of communication will have a prodigious, cohesive, and conservative influence on the re- public. No better bond of union for a great con- federacy of States could have been devised. Steam has been regarded, and very properly regarded, as a most powerful means of preserving the unity,fand augmenting the strength of a great na- tion, by securing a rapid inter-communication be- tween its different cities and communities. But the agency of steam is far inferior in this respect to the magnetic telegraph. It communicates with the ra- pidity of lightning from one point to another. The whole nation is impressed with the same idea at the same moment. One feeling and one impulse are thus created, and maintained from the centre of the land to its uttermost extremities. Professor Morse failed in this city to eflect the ar- rangements now represented as completed in Wash- ington. His agent here was Amos Kendall, and very probably the prejudice existing towards that individual in many quarters,{may have operated against his success. It is asserted that the subscrip- tions to the stock have been almost all filled up. This is doubted by some. Many suppose that the statements have been put forth by way of flourish, in order to induce the next Congress to adopt the sys- tem. It is, however, very certain, that as soon ag the telegraph gets into operation between New York and Washington, the Government,will be obliged to adopt it. Itis too powerful an instrument to be in the hands of individuals. It can never be success- fally carried into effect throughout the country, with- out the concurrence and approbation of the whole community. The people never will consent to its possession by individuals. Such a monopoly, it is very obvious, would be dangerous in the extreme. In the hands of govern- ment—controlled by the people—and conducted on a large scale with energy and success, this agency will be productive of the most extraordinary effects on society, government, commerce, and the progress of civilization. But we cannot predict its results. When we look at it, we almost feel as if we were gazing upon the mysterious garniture of the skies— trying to fathom infinite space, or groping our way into the fields(of eternity. Mr. Pox anv 118 OrGay.—We have been watch. ing with a great degree of interest, the givings out of the organs of the administration since they have been tuned, during the last week or two, and we must confess that there is a good deal of vacillation in their tones. The three organs don’t all speak alike, and even the first violin conducted by Signor Ritchie, seems to be very wavering on Oregon, on the jtariff, and on a variety of other points, We rather fear, that Mr. Polk will have a great deal of trouble from the organs before a year is over. Now that they are supposed to be completely tuned, and to be capable of playing the principles of the party and the administration without mistake, we have no doubt that attempts will be made to get up little kitchen cabinets around each of these organs. ‘The generdl Opinion is, that no one need go to Washing- ton in search of an office, unless he first visits Mr. Ritchie, whonow occupies the principal position in the newspaper department of the government. Dr. Tyne.—This pious divine has been called to St. George’s church, in this city, but he has not yet accepted the invitation. The truth is, he must not accept it. He is our candidate for the Bishopric of Pennsylvania, and we mean to bring forward his @#se and claims in a few days, and to advocate his election by the Convention to be held in Philadel- phia on the 20th of this month. We would very welllike to have Dr. Tyng near us—Beekman street is the next street to us—and if he were here, we would take good care of him, and would endeavor »to the best of our ability, to bring him up in the nur- ture and admonition of the Lord, for the Doctor is an old friend and fellow-laborer of ours in good temper and the bonds of the gospel ; but we rather think he would fill the place of Bishop of Pennsyl- vania much better than either of the candidates,— Besides, we owe a great debt of gratitude to Dr. ‘Tyng for his many kind notices of us—his affection- ate, pious, charitable, christian references to us during the last ten or twelve years. The religion of Jesus Christ, as we have learned it, teaches us to utter good for evil—to be kind to them that despite- fully use us, and we intend to practice this sublime and holy maxim. We mean to show Dr. Tyng, that @ person out of the pulpit may after all be a bet- ter Christian than even he who ministers at the altar, and takes great airs upon himself, thanking God that he ig better than the poor publican, and calling aloud—“‘stand off, for I am holier than thou!” Practica, Sense.—Crossing the Hudson to Ho- boken, and there, amid its cool and fragrant shades philosophising and meditating ,whilst you smoke a mild Havana. Tae Crors.—The crops in all parts of the country begin to hold out a better promise than for several weeks past tion—his existing calibre of mind—and his real po- sition as the Napoleon of the press rusticating on Helena. Alas! poor old Jew! Curtain Lecrures 1n THE Great Hesrew anv Avyti-Pork-Sreak Buack Mam Faminy, a La Mrs. Cavp.e. Mrs. N. is a little pe Will manage the paper hereafter erself. Major N., here have I been two hours in bed g for you ; dying with sleep, yet anxious to have a chat on the week’s busin O, you have been at “ So, waitin, little | the office have you? Writing a letter from Washington, manufacturing public opinio: fever, have you—trying to get a consuiship,a contract, or a pair of old breeehes with a hole from Marcy ? I don’t believe a word of it, Mr. N.—you have been to see that fat apple woman, Mr. N., who used to sell you pippins usual, getting up a war before I married you. O, I’m jealous, am 1? A pretty taste she has to be sure—heaven bless her taste: id yours too, Mr. N. Why you both are so fat and greasy —so like two large live porkers ; a pair of beauties to be sure, Major N.; and while I am compelled to be all alone here in this horrid place, not daring to speak to any of the charming fellows in the town,you are indulging in a plate of chowder and Indian dumplings with Mrs. Polly 0’ Shognessy, are you ?—for shame, for shame, Major N., you, who pass for astendy man, an X-Consul, X-Judge, and the father of a family, too—who cheats the world in- to the belief that, with all your other admitted sins, you are at least a virtuous, doating husband. Come, come, Major N., stand off; no coaxing, and sbove all no kissing You smell terribly of pork. Went Ilet you come to be + | Well, ifyou behave yourself and promise faithfully here- after to ‘keep clear of that naughty woman. Major N., Major N,, you'll break my heart; I, a young accomplish: ed Jowish girl, the very pink of fashion from rag fair in London; the elegant ‘and graceful, the envy of the old clo’-fish aristocracy in New York, and the delight of the men, after having sacrificed myself to fat and paralysis, to bad character and worse principles, shunned by all my friends, now find myself the abandoned, cast off, ill-treated, scorned and neglec- ted wife. ©, don’t stand there twiddling your thumbs, Major N., and trying to coax me into good humor, or T'll give you that punk under the ribs T owe you. Judas Iscariot was the original genius that invent- ed black mail—he levied thirty pieces of silver on his own countrymen for betraymg the Son of God into their hands. You are the chief descendant, and, perhaps, only blood relation of Judas Iscariot now alive; and you should follow up the good old trade of your venerable ancestor on all{Ch: s. Come, give me half the black mail money you made this week, sir—give ‘me m just dues, Major N. Oh, you will, will you, now—that's a dear creature ; come, shell out. ' One, two, three, four, five gold pieces. What, no more ? Only fifty dollars for one week’s black mail? What a miserable business it is, Major N. ; why, you would make more by being an honest man, dealing in old clo’, or old silver. This is no- thing to the haul from Nick’ Biddle—your part of the $52,000, Oh, you expected a hundred from a Wallstreet broker, to keep him from being a bear; and another hun- dred from a merchant not to publish him as a bankrupt until next week 7? Well, well, when it comes don’t for- getmy half, don’t forget’ my rights, and see that Mrs, ‘olly O’Shognessy, the apple woman, gets no part of it] wey, asl live, Major N., chair, you are snoring in the arm Come to bed, will you, or I shall stretch forth my ite hand, and you'll catch that aforesaid punk. doar creature ; throw alittle of that laven- er you, Major, for you do so smell of vege- tables, beet roots, and old clothes; all comes from diving into the huckster's cellar; but come, I forgive you; those gold pieces have put me into a prodigious good humor ; you've made your peace, Major N., and now, duckee, you must take a ride on horseback with me to-morrow, to show offmy new and elegant riding dress, before I takes ing inthe Third Avenue. Now, don’t look so glum, I know how awkward and unpleasant it Is for onhorseback, and how much you resemble ancho Panza—or fat Isaac of York; but, must have some one to ride with me, and since my friend Fantoni Suttoni has gone to Italy, I have been actually at a loss for an equestrian companion. Then, duckee, it’s almost time to wind up our partnership with the oldclo’ man, I’m afraid that has been a poor speculation. But let’s change the subject, and,now I think on it, Major N., [ have heard that you have had prysie interviews with Fra Diavolo. I knew you had sold yourself, Major N. I signed off for you, but you had no right, Major N., to hold private in- terviews with his Satanic majesty without my being pre- sent. I want to know, sir, how many new black mail avenues he has pointed out to you—and besides, Major N., [learn that you have been Confessing all your sins to him, making'a clean breast of it; how can you be such a fdol, Major N., the moment the Devil knows all ee past life you will no longer be of service to him, and then look out for the poker, the red hot gridirons, the guage flashing torches—don’t tremble so, duckee—I did not intend to alarm you, Major N.; there—smell m: bottle of Peau de vie, it will revive you. Let’s to busi- ain, dearee. What have you picked up at the able stores the last week? You are always lounging over town. Tl find the list in your breeches pocket, willl? Here it is, sure enough, do sit up, will you, and hold the taper while Iread it. “Fourteen yarda of black watered silk ; a piece of Balzorine ; six worked handkerchiefs ; a Charlotte Corday cap, trimmed with lace ; six pair of white kid gloves”—only six pair, Major ? how mean, why didn’t you ask for a dozen; never puff any store under a dozen pair of gloves, Major N. “An easy chair, four penknives, a whi er, & life pre- server, one basket of ch ag of, ‘root beer, some Dutch gingerbrea: pe.” ry, yor fate, yout Gare a ig, its all fish that comes to your net, Major. Now a word with you, Major N., about the paper. Come, don’t snore or pretend to doze when I'm coming to serious business, Major. It shocks me to read your poor jokes now a days—you are not what you were when the Josephs were millionaires and lent you money, and Nick Biddle put his hand in his breeches’ pockets and hauled it out in thousands. I must wear the breeches hereafter, myself, and write the PONPSy dcoas then have —some- thing. piquant, “It aint a woman’s business to edit a pa- er ‘ou are a fool ; it isn’t an old woman’s business int you, Major, an old woman like yourself, and now I think of it, I am determined to control the columns my self, Major N.,hereafter. Don’t squirm and look so hot ed—I will, I tell you. Folks wonder, as1 manage you so well at home, why I don’t take bet care of the co- lumns of the paper. I am the responsible editor; no one notices you, no one mentions your name, Major N.; you were once the Napoleon of the press, as you imagined, when you published the Advocate ; you once edited the Advocate till you killed it,—then the N. ¥.Advocate—then the Enquirer—then the Star—then the Union, but you killed them all, one after the other—and you would hava killed Beach's Sun if he’dallowed you. You are now editor ofa sickly obscure, weekl a Berio old broken down leon on St. Helena. | shall now be like Mi joring again, Major N ? You don't want to h for the future; but you shall,must h I discharge the nasty penitentiai , dal writers in your pay, and substitute decent writ stop your writing and trying to tickle Polk and the Cabi- net into your terms, or to getacontract from Marcy ; they don’t care afig for you, Major N.; they understand bad Major N.; let me manage them—hereafter. Then look at the paper this week,Major—no ribaldry, no inde- cent attacks on Mad po no slander Nip hee no hy 4 rity, no slang—you'll_ ruin the paper by trying to be de- cent, Major N. ; who'll pay you three cents for a decent, respectable, honestly conducted r, Major? Do you hear me? Sleep again? Well, well, tis late, and I’m rather sleepy, too—going off—gloves—moustache—black mail—Polly O’Shognessy —war with Mexico—mob cap— slip—Josephs—Nick Biddle—Judas Iscariot-—ring—cham - Barrebbas, the rob———” Here they both went off into a delicious slumber. Next week we shall, probably, have another of the Major's curtain lectures—copied from his Snn- day paper—illustrated with engravings. Ayotier Symptom or Cnance.—Every now and then we see paragraphs in the Southern papers, giv- ing an account of the establishment of a factory in that region of anti-tariff opinions. It seems that factories have been erected in South Carolina—Au- gusta—and the last accounts represent one in Wayne, Alabama. In a quarter ofa century hence, the South may fairly rival New England in that line of busi- ness. Why not? They have the material in the South at their very doors, and there is nothing to prevent them from surpassing the world in cheap- ness of cotton manufactures, if they choose to lend their mind to such a purpose. By this process anti- tariff’ philosphers will be converted to tariff ones,— Boston was so changed. Frost.—There was another white frost in Massa- chusettson Friday night Tne “Native” Conporation—Tux New Com- aon Councit..—During the last two or three weeks, the out-going Corporation have held several extra meetings, at which reports and resolutions have been adopted, making over large sums of money, to be taken out of the city treasury, for the benefit of some of their partisans—ostensibly, for some servi- ces under the Corporation, but really for some jobs. This system of party legislation has been carried on to such an extent—particularly during the last week —as to call forth much indignant commentary. Large sums of money have been thus reckleesly squandered ; and in order ‘to replenish the city treasury, before they go out of office, the Natives will have to sell off by public auction, the tin pans which they placed around the Park Fountain on the 4th July last—the apple-stands which they seized from the poor apple-women—the brooms with which the streets have not been swept for the last six months—the old lumber, and the crumbs, and empty baskets of champaigne, which they have left after their last féte at Randall’s Island. The Natives came into office making a great flourish about temperance reform; but they ‘have shown themselves by their recent feasting and cham- paigne parties, that they can “ preach far better than they can practice.” At all events, their reign has come {to a close, and we should not be surprised before they finish their career, that their last act will be to restore to the low groggeries the privilege of selling their drugged liquors ona Sun- day. They meet again to-day for thelasttime, when their power of furtherlequandering away the public funds will have ceased forever, and so we shall take final leave of them. But to their successors. The new Corporation will come into office to-morrow. They have heldno less than twenty caucuses since the first of May, and have been engaged in distributing and quarrel- ling about the spoils; they are also developing plans of reform, just in the same manner as their friends have done in former years. We have no great hopes in the new Corporation, judging from the acts of their predecessors, who held office in former years; but we shall give them every fair trial. We hope they may do something in the shape of reforming the numerous abuses that have so long existed in every department in this city, as we never wanted a good Corporation more than at present; when the streets—the police—the night watch—and so many public abuses all demand a radical change—a thorough and searching reform. A finer field never existed for the exercise ofsound, practical reform, than that which lies open for the new Corporation, now on their en- try into office. Let the disgusting ‘squabbling for office and spoils, that has hitherto disgraced all for- mer Corporations, be laid aside; and some resolute effort be made, at the outset, to give the people of this extensive and repidly improving city, the benefit of sound and wholesome legislation for once inthe Common Council—now, that they are in power—and once having obtained the confidence of the people, their future claims will operate beneficially to their interests as a party. But, as we before observed, we have not much confidence in the new Corpora- tion, judging from their former predecessors, and their proposed acts. We shall, however, give them a fair trial; and whether or not they will continue the old game of deception upon the people, a few weeks will enable us to determine. The state of Broadway—the opening of the street in continuation from Canal street to the Bowery—the police“the” iiany, many abuses that everywhere stare us in the face, all demand a prompt and speedy improvement and reform; and, in relation to their professed desire to carry out those various mea- sures which have been suggested, from time to time, on the subject of reform—they will, forthwith, have an opportunity to prove their sincerity. Nous ver- rons. Tue Stortan Fricate.—This fine looking vessel is now in complete order, and has been open to visi- ters from shore for several days past. She sits on the bosom of the water opposite the Battery, and really looks as pretty and graceful a craft as any one could desire to see. Every one was surprised when the announcement was first made of the arrival of a frigate belonging ,to the Neapolitan monarch—no one ever thinking of seeing euch a flag here. But it appears that the King of the Two Sicilies has quite a respectable fleet, comprising half-a-dozen large war vessels, besides fifteen or twenty steamers, which are employed in the transportation of the go- vernment mails between the different ports in the Mediterranean, but which can be called into action very speedily. We understand that the officers of the fri- gate have been quite astonished at the size, beauty, and business activity of New York. They greatly admire our magnificent bay, so like their own beautiful bay of Naples. A number of the offi- cersare on their way to the Falls of Niagara, to have a peep at that great American wonder before they return to Europe. They are a very fine gentle- manly set of men, and the mariners are tough fel- lows, neat and clean. The vessel is well kept and in beautiful order. We understand that the frigate will visit Boston immediately on leaving New York, and then return to the Mediterranean. Tuearricats.—Castle Garden opens to-night with “ Semiramide.” The greatest curiosity has been excited throughout the city, to see this magni- ficent theatre; and we have no doubt that there will be a great house. The ladies are full of anticipations of the delightful promenade, with the cooling breezes from the bay, and the moonlight glancing on the water, and glimmering through the fine old trees on the Battery ; and, then, the musical entertain- ment is of sucha rare excellence, that there cannot fail to be amoverflowing audience, The proprietors have obtained the privilege of entrance for carriages within the gates of the public grounds at the Battery; and go, in case of a shower, visiters can be set down at the very entrance of the theatre. The “ Bohemian Girl?” is to be played at the Park during the present week. The popularity of this opera is truly remarkable. Dinneford has cast Palmo, in the trial before the Superior Court, as to the right of possession of the theatre. What’sto be done now ? Dumbolton has possession, and will, probably, keep it. The plot thickens. Tryon is reaping a great harvest in his new Bowery Theatre. He has augmented the strength of his talented company; and the perfor- mances are really of ahigh order. The establish- ment is admirably conducted—well lighted—well ventilated, and perfect order prevails. As a cheap summer theatre it stands unrivalled. To-night the celebrated Yankee Comedian, Silsbee, makes his first appearance as Lot Sap Sago, together with the talented young actor, Mr. Olark, and Mr. B. Wil- liams of the old Bowery. Let them be well pa- tronised. Nisto’s Garpen.—Where is Niblo in these days? What is he doing?’ When does he open his gar- den? No doubt he is busy about something. He can’t be idle. According to the latest accounts by the electric telegraph, he was hard at work on a beautiful little spot on the banks of the East River, towards Harlem, fixing up a nice flower garden, where he intends to raise boquets and all the flowers of the forest, in order to spread perfume over his gar- den in the city, uptown. Doubtless he will be out with something novel. PaLmo’s Orera Hovse.—The Ethiopian Serena- ders are making rapid he atthe above theatre. We took a peep in on Saturday night and found it rather adifficult matter to get a seat, which proves that though Dumbleton found it a hard task to get possession of the house, he has not found it difficult to fill it from the “ pit to the gods.” ArPoIntMENTS BY THE Governor, May 10.—New York—William C. Neilson, Trustee of Seaman's Fund and Retreat, vice Henry iy resigned. State—Jared Wilson, Inspector of State Prison at Au- burn, in place of Thomas Y How, jr., rejected by the Se. nate, Srrzvrr.—The Boston Times of the 10th instant states that sbout 50,000 cigars were seized yesterday lation of the rev een of the Custom House officers of that district, for lows, Progress ov FaNaticisM IN THE Wust.=-The weet is‘ the great field for fanaticism. New religions, new sects, new systems of philosophy and society, are constantly springing up there, and one extrava- gance rapidly succeeds another. Some of these new religions are partly sublime, partly vulgar, partly blasphemous, and partly ridiculous. Nauvoo still continues to be the head quarters of fanaticism in that region of the west. The community there, however, appears to have reached the lowest point of demoralization, The “ saints” have now taken to cutting one another’s throats, and are quarreling like dogs. When any individual has rendered him- self obnoxious, he is forcibly driven from the city by gangs called “whistlers and whittlers,” who sur- round his house, and serenade him with tin whis- tles. One of these disgraceful scenes is thus des- cribed : ee . havi e business that to ee 26 aed transac iting the same in the house of Edson Whipple, when @ loud knock was heard at the door. Mrs. pple went to the door, and was there asked by a man if he could be allowed to whittlo in the house; she replied that he could not, and thet she con- sidered the question an insult. He said he did not in- tend to insult her or her family; but wished to have the rivilege of whittling for especial benefit of Mr. jreen. By this time aco: crowd had collected around the door, each man armed with a knife and stick, whioh ned were diligently e: id in whittling, and at the same time whistling, ye! 5 ‘hij shut the door, and returned into the room where Mr, a crow: arou! io door end winows, maLiog tho most dlecordaut and hide noises, Mr, Whipple called in Co J,Markham, and Mr, G., enquired what He done that he should be treated in such an unusual manner? The ut Colonel vealed that he Loe do not ee ecutyerecaje b——. lere ensucd a - pute, de followed the Colonel te, during which the crowd had Into the room, and took an active part in the threats and denunciations that were poured out upon Green. Green agreed to leave in fifteen minutes. Having hastily made the necet preparagion, he started to leave the city, followed by the mob, ing, hallooing, whist whit- tling, to the great amusement of all the boys and in town. In the neighborhood of the Temple (after a consultation) they stopped him, and they would al- low him to stop until morning to finish his for they did not wantihim to go away and tell a d—d lie, by saying they would not let him finish his business. : ere a fellow named Demock Hunt was ipal lead- er. Green replied that the: forced him away when own business, and now he the that he loud and the best clear of them and Jenkins, about one he was quietly pursu! would ge, andbte souk tell the truth, sale whole sumstance just as it ene. was determined, the mob again broke forth ina horrid yell. Green, in the mean time, way he could out of town, finally wala all night with a family name mile from the city. . It would also appear that the difficulties between the Mormons and anti-Mormons are breaking out afresh, and we should not at all be surprised to hear soon of some awful scenes of violence and blood.— The following extract exhibits the state of feeling at the “City of Joseph” —(Nauvoo)—and is, besides, il- lustrative of the social condition of these fanatics and impostors :— Witnpnawina Fetrowsiir—We learn from private at a vote was takenjat the Conference, whe- ther t! ints should withdraw from all intercourse with the gent and it was carried in the affirmative, unanimously. saints are therefore instructed that they must neither buy of or sell to a gentile, and they muat not work for oremploy agentile. The girls were particularly cautioned by Brigham Young not to hire out to gentiles, for, said he,“ you are all wanted at home, I keep four in my family, and if youare hard run Tcan take six more. IfIcan’tdo any thing else with ou, I can wrap you upin a Buffalo robe, and put you to ed.” This is a fair specimen of the slang used by the Mormon orators. In Pittsburgh, the rival sect of Mormons, under the leadership of Sidney Rigdon, are waxing more and more fanatical every day, and bid fair to out-herod their former brethren at Nauvoo. Rigdon announces recently, that he has had several special revelations; and it is indeed amusing to observe the pertfect coolness with which the fellow talks of his inter- course with heaven. The following is the account of the new revelation, as given in the paper publish- ed by the sect at Pittsburgh : “ Conferenco met pursuant to adjournment, and called to order by Austin Cowles ; the first preside: and the high quorum entered and took their seats. Presi- dent Rigdon arose and read hymn on page 104, “ Arise, arise, with joy survey,” which was sung by the confer- ence. After whichs President Rigdon said, since the com- mencement of this conference, I have had one unceasing desire, deep and intense, that was, to have the matter forever put at rest, whether God would accept our work. The spirit whispered to me this morning, to sct some brethren, and consecrate them to God, in a room in my house, which I did; (which was the reason I was not with you this morning,) and after the washing and anointing, andthe Patriarchal seal, asthe Lord had di- rected me, we kneeled, and in solemn prayer we asked God to accept the work we had done ; during the time of prayer, there appeared over our h in the room, a ray of light, forming a hollow square, inside of which stood a com} ‘of messengers, each’ with a banner in his hand, with, their eye looking down upon us, their 3 even my little son of four years of age, saw the vision, and with great astonishment, saying that he thought his imagination was running away with him; after which we arose and lifted our hands to hearen in holy convocation to God; at which time I was shownan 11 in heaven, he ong tis the acceptance of our work, and the decree of the Jreat God, that the kingdom is ours, and we shall prevail ; my anxieties, therefore, in relation to our work in organizing the kingdom, and the acceptance of that org inization, by our heavenly father, is now forever at resi Elder Wm. E. MeLeilin then arose, and bore testimony to the manifestation of the power of God in the heavenly Yislon; he then gave the substance of a revelation given this morning, relative to the opening ceremony of the consecration; after which he kneeled, and dedicated the conference by prayer. He then arose, and said, brethren I wish to say some things to you which will benefit you on the present occasion. He’ set forth in a clear manner, the principles which constitute the fullness of human bo: gare giving much important instruction in relation to it. President Rigdon then proceeded to ordain Hiram Falk and Curtis Hodger to the office of High Priests. After which several bottles of oil were presented, and conse- crated to the Lord. It seems that during the time that the awful fire was raging in Pittsburg, these fanatics were engaged inthe mummeries of their worship;and Rigdonavows that to his mediation the city was indebted for the cessation of the fire :-— In the closi: rayer, for the adjournment, Presidert Rigdon presented before the Lord the deep distress and great calamity which was then befalling the inhabitants Of the city; presenting before the hea’ and the fatherloss, and the and de were rw! ‘mi our city ;] Violence of fire, that cananebcir ne: not lai in which prayer the Conference joined with ings of their soul. Du venly messengers that had id in ruins— all the feel- this prayer, an escort of hea- hovered around us during the time of this Conference, were seen leaving the room, the course of the wind was instantly changed, and the vio- lence of the flames was stayed “and our city saved from an entire overthrow.” Tt is really humiliating to read these records of hu man follyand impiety, Rigdon,however,seems to have a keen look-out for “the main chance.” He procured the passage of a resolution ordaining, that for each “blessing” he should receive the sum of fifty cents. These imposters generally manage to make their fa- naticism “productive.” Ruope Istanp Le@istarure.—This body ad- journed on Saturday at half past twelve. The act of amnesty was referred to a committee, consisting of theLieut.-Governor, Weyden,of North Providence, and Smith, of Warren, by a vote of 18 to 14. In the House, a resolution to appoint a committee, to pre- pare a bill to provide for the liberation of Dorr, was laid on the table by a vote of 39 to 28. An act was passed, liberating Bosworth and Heath, on the con- dition of their taking the oath of allegiance. They are now confined in the Bristol jail. Fires aut, tHe Rare.—Esrapuisnmant or Messrs.

About half past five o'clock yesterday morning, a fire broke out in the extensive wholesale and retail dry goods establishment of Mesars. Bar- ker and Towle, Catherine street, but as usual in these cases, the origin of itis involved in mistery, As soon as the City Hall bell sent forth its thundering “voice,” numerous fire engines rolled down to the scene of devastation, and poured in their ammuni- tion on the devouring enemy, but, we are sorry to say, for some time without effect; and before the flames could be abated, the front and part of the rear of the establishment, together with its contents, wat one heap of ruins. There are many conflicting ac- counts afloat as to how the fire took place, but we do not wish to give them on the evidence we recetved. The damage is estimated at about thirty thousand dollars, ‘We cannot vouch as to the premises being secured by insurance. ‘The principal, teachers, and pupils, of the In- ‘ators for the Dea and Dumb, have accepted an Vitation to visit th ni of Messrs.

Reuigion ano Racina—Tue Turr ann tae Taq BERNACLE.— What remarkable times these are—how gratifying to every lover of true sport. The week just passed has seen a contest among many com- petitors for the sweepstakes of salvation, and the one we commence to-day opens with a prospeet of a match, which, although of a more carnal charac- ter, will have its votaries and its devotees, in as great profusion. The past week has seen the pious multitude in eager contest for the prize of their high calling, and the present opens with a prospect, whieh, although less enchanting—being less dis- tant—is yet more substantial, being for the sum o $20,000, to be decided on the L. 1. Course to-morrow Who will, after witnessing the animation and ac- tivity of these two first weeks of May, 1845, doubt of the progress of our race? Who will say that either men or horses are stationary? Who will doubt that, since the word from the starting post will set in emulous and electric motion, sixty thou- sand worthy citizens; the word of truth as it has been scattered abroad in this fortunate city, will pro- duce a veritable hurricane of holiness for the next twelve months. Solomon said there was a time for everything. If so, from the Tabernacle to the Turf, is not by any means an extraordinary climax descendens; nor 1s there much incompatibility between a programme of the proceedings of the Holy Alliance, and the syste- matic amusement of the Jockey Club’s race bill. Nothing can show the beautifully elastic state of so- ciety, more than the menoetts transition of its mem- bers, from serious and sage councils for the amelio- ration of man, to_ institutions for improving the breed of horses. Whatever the hand findeth to do, do it with th ht. Let no man who has made a ious contribution, stop at a bet on Fashion or Ppeytona, the contest between the North and the South will be far more decisive than that which has 80 long agitated the East and the West. In the latter, those knowing gentlemen,called Jesuits and parsone, have kept the world rather dark as to what it would come to, but jockeys are more plain dealing; when they start, they goon; they know nothing of the end sanctifying the means; they neither cross nor jostle each other, nor do they stop to make observations, and time their course according to circumstances. No such thing; they start tocome in as soon as they can, and when they do, each bettor handles the cash, or forks out, as the case may be. , The fact is, the clergy ure not going to have all the credit to themselves in their efforts to turn this wicked world right side out, which characterise this a We have seen their reverend ranks on the platform in solemn array; we have seen their sanc- tuaries crowded with meek audiences; we have n the hotels of this city crammed with the faith- ful, awaiting the movement of the waters; and we have been edified with the zeal of the listening crowds, when the reverend spokesman told of the increase of the kingdom on the borders of the Eu- phrates, or the confines of Guinea. All this is wor- thy of remark, and if the generation be not too faith- less and unbelieving, it will pass as a proper return for donations of dollars. But the obseryant moral- list will not contemn the crowds that will meet to- morrow on the Long Island course, as a sign of the times, the more of this; nor will he who wins the. odds be less pleased with the aienlaety. (eine of Fashion or Peytona, than the devotee who hears of the wondrous effects of Missionary funds on the borders of the Burrampooter. ‘ We hope for the icra eaten of meeting the re- yerend divines who have been working very hard to evangelize the world, on the race course. They must be greatly fatigued after their exhausting en- deavors to tell the whole truth about the heathen. the godly revivals, the dethronement of Satan, and the ssions of the Pope, anda day’s relaxation would prove a salutary change to them. Who knows too, but that the presence of so many holy divines would dispose the hearts of all men_ to nl eous- ness, and incline the losers to pay down the cash without trouble or. altercation ; indeed, the respect they are held in, and their experience in such mat- ters, would cause many to place the stakes in their hands, and to the clergy not one word is necessary in commendation of this honorable and pleasing office. If we could only persuade their reverences to attend and decide the bets, supervise the thimble- riggers, keep order onthe stand, and count-time Mion glance, while they throw another towards eternity, it would afford us much pleasure in addi- tion to that we anticipate from the great contest be- tween Fashion and Peytot Movements of Travellers.

The fact is otherwise—ar- rangements have been made at all the Hotels, by which not only individuals but families can obtain all the neces- sa ‘comforts for which our hotels are justly distin- gu 5 Oxonpaca Over anp Terminer.—The April Oyer and Terminer for this county, (Judge Whiting pre- siding,) adjourned last Friday, one of the trials was the annexed :—The Pe vs. James Matthews and Marcus Snow—The indictment charged James Matthews with an ‘assault upon one Harrict Forbes, with intent to ravish— and Marcus Snow, Edward Fisher and Matthew Jordan as aiders and abettors. Matthews and Snow were in jail ; Fisher out on bail, and Jordan has not yet beenarrested, having absconded when the others were arrested. Fisher appeared and plead guilty, but while the clerk wasenter- ing an order for him to find new bail or to be committed, he secretly, and with the aid, doubtless of some of his friends, got out of the Court and took leg bail. He was afterwards called, but not answering, his recogniza was forfeited, and a {suit immediatelycommence t his surety. The trial of Mathews and Snow excited a ‘ood deal of interest.

The stock market during the past week has been unu sually dull, and prices without any material alteration, There appears to be the greatest apathy on the part ef operators,and very little inclination to make transactions is exhibited. Prices have, without much doubt, nearly touched bottom. The market has for the past six months been much depressed, and every thing likely to reduce prices has been brought to bear upon them and—with the exception of a few speculative movements—a steady, gradual decline in all kinds of stocks has been oxpori- enced. The numerous rumors of war so long curront, the internal politico) movements, and the courso pursued by the banks of this city and State, have kept operators in a continual excitement,which has had a very injurious effect upon prices. The depression in the market has been too lengthy to suit even the most rabid bear. Operators require great fluctuations in prices to make money; and an advancing market draws into the street the outside speculators, who give transactions a character the bro- kers themselves are unable to give. When the mar- ket is honvy the brokers have things all their own way, the outside speculator leave the stroet,and prices drop to a low point. When stocks begin to go down, every little thing has a very great influence on prices, and the slightest movement depresses the market. A speculative excitement on the contrary, spreads, rapidly and operators eagerly take stocks at pri- ces five, ten, and fifteen per cent higher than when the feeling in the market was heavier. When Vicksburg Bank stock was selling at four and five per cent, very few had nerve to touch it, but when it went up to tenand ele ven, the greatest anxicty existed to get hold of it. It is #0 with every other stock in the list, and it is only those who have capital and courage enough to come into the market, in times like the present,who make money, Every thing done in the stock market, in Wall street, is the result of some excitement, similar to that produced by similar movements in any sporting business. The feelings of ope- rators must be roused, before they will enter into the spirit of the game with any kind of interest. ‘The state of the money market has a very great influence on prices, but acombination of speculators for the purpose of get- ting up a corner in any fancy stock, ean be as successfully made when capital is searce as when it is abundant. We annex a comparative table, showing closing prices for stocks for the week ealing the 4th inst, and quota- tions for each day of the week just closed.
