NEW YORK HERALD. New York, Friday, June 6, 1645. Weekly This publication will this week contain a compre- hensive compilation of the last foreign news ; also the latest Texas, Mexican and American intelli- , been making to the annexationof Texas. She finds gence of interest. It will be ready at 8 o’clock to- morrow morning, at sixpence a copy. {<> Will our Washington correspondent give u® a daily report of the trial of Captain Voorhees ? The Issue of the Texas Question—WIll there be War! This Texas question is more than ever the en- grossing subject of popular inquiry and popular anx- lety. The developments relative to the interference of Great Britain—the acknowledged concurrence of France inthe movements of that power—the wars like preparations—and the suspicious course of the English and French diplomatists, as well as of the Executive of Texas itself—have come crowding upon us during the last few weeks with such rapidity and startling interest, that the whole subject has now come to occupy the public mind almost to the ex- clusion of every other topic. We see by the jour- nals professing to be specially devoted to the com- mercial interests, that amongst those classes the Texas question is beginning to be regarded with con- siderable uneasiness. So now we hear on all sides such inquiries as these : ““What is to be the issue?” “Will there be war ?” “How is this interference of of England begin to be alarmed at these tokens of « coming change. They too have heard the message | from the land of freedom to the oppressed of Europe. | telling them to lift up their heads and rejoice, for the | day of deliverance draws nigh. Here see the ready explanation of the opposition—so unceasingly, so | energetic, so determined—which Great Britain has herself now in pretty much the same position as that which she occupied at the breaking forth of the French Revolution—forced into the same attitude of antagonism to just and enlightened principles of hu- man liberty and human rights. Thus, in every point of view, looking at all the de- velopments around us—at the intelligence from Tex- as and Mexico—the news brought by every arrival trom Europe—the movements of Great Britain—the slight givings-out which the President and the cabi- binet permit their organ to communicate, we are strengthened in the conjecture that we are on the very verge of adifficulty with England—the com- mencement of a great series of events, which will have a most important bearing on the destiny of mankind. Letneither our government nor people shut their eyes to the pressing importance of the present crisis. Let all be prepared for the most alarming emergency, which may present itselfsoon- er than many now imagine. Tae New Opera in Purapecenia.—Its Finst PrrFoRMANCE AND Recertion.—We refer our mu- sical readers to a full account, in another column, under our postscript head, of the reception of the new opera by the Fry’s in Philadelphia. It seems England to end? “Will the intervention of Eng- land really lead to serious difficulty between the two countries ‘These inquiries are very natural, and they come home to the bosomand business of every man inte- rested in the welfare of this country. How are weto obtainan answer to them? We look, of course, in the first instance, to the mouthpiece of the govern- ment, to the ** organ,” whichis reasonably presumed to have access tothe secrets, opinions, and designs of the adifinistration. We find that the Union is at last beginning to give us a little light on the subject. It seems to be gradually coming to regard the mat ter with some degree of common sense, and to give a few hints as to the sentiments and views of the government. ' It says:— Suppose Congress and the convention have accepted our propositions—the one about the middle of June, and the other on the 4th of July—and Mexico should invade Texas, and a British fleet should support the movement : what then would the dmerican Bropose ? Suppose “ourrelations with Texas” are no longer “thus indefi- nite,” as the Jmerican supposes, but defined by ur propositions made) accepted by’ Texas, (and no one doubts that 6ur next Congress will carry’ them out in good faith) then comes the question, will the Jmerican und *he whig press, and the whigs, in that case, stand by their country? This case may occur ; and is the «American prepared to mect it? Will it then say we must defend the soil of Texas against the intruder, or we must wait until the Congress of the United States can come together ? orare we to infer what tho Jmerican would do from the general language it employs, that “ while our relations with Toxas are thus indefinite, the interposition of a European power isa new element in the business ; and toward such an intruder the Jengu of our government should be emphatic and decisive In connection with this, we notice a paragraph in the Journal of Commerce, which appears to know something of the movements of Ashbel Smith. Tho last news from Mexico leads us to believe that such terms have been or will be conceded by Mexico as were required by the Texian Executive, and that accord- ingly the people of Texas, through their delegates in Convention, will be offered annexation, or independence, as they may prefer,—provided the guarantee of England and France is made ina responsible way, at head quar- ters, and not in an irresponsible way, by Minis Charges des Affaires at a distance, whose acts mig! sequently be disavowed by the governments which they represent. We have before intimated, and we now re- peat, that to obtain assurance on this point, was probably one of the leading objects of Ashbel Smits mission to England and France. His stay in Europe will doubtless be short, and most likely he will return in the next Liv- erpool steamer, which will enable him to reach ‘Texas before the opening of the Convention on the 4th of July. Should he find those two powers ready to guarantee the independence of Texas, in a manner which will leave them no chance to back out—in that case the two alter- native propositions above alluded to, viz : annexation or independence, will be submitted to the Texan Convon- tion for their choice. Such, at least, is our understand- ing ot the case. All this is quite in accordance with the opinions which we have so repeatedly expressed in reference to the movements of the Texan Executive. We stated some time since that the probable design of Ashbel Smith in visiting England was to complete the secret arrangements entered into by England, France and Mexico for the purpose of. defeating annexation. Subsequent events have left little room to doubt thaf a substantial guarantee has been given to Mexico, and that the zealous and ubiquitous Mr. Elliott is in no danger of being made a laughing- stock by his own government. It is very evident that our government do not re- gard the question of annexation as likely to be quite 80 easily settled as the Union would have had us to believe. They are concentrating troops on the Texan frontier and sending naval forces to the Gulf. The defence of the sea-ports, and the condi- tion of the forts on the coast are the subject of in- spection, and pretty active preparations appear to be in progress for the purpose of meeting any contin- gencies that may arise. All this shows that some anticipations of serious difficulty are entertained by our government. On the other hand, confirmatory of the propriety of these anticipations of future difficulty, we have the warlike preparations of the British government, to which we have again and again adverted and have already fully described. Indeed, on a calm and dispassionate review of the whole present aspect of the case, we certainly can- not oe regarded as indulging in any visionary or heedlessly alarming conjecture, when we hazard the opinion that events may take such a turn even before the meeting of Congress, as will precipitate the dreaded crisis, and commence a series of n¢e- tual hostilities between the two countries, the end of which human sagacity cannot foreshadow or toretell. On wiffitever side we regard this Texas question, the great practical fet is forced upon us, that Great Britain, if not with the actual assistance of France, at least with her tacit sympathy and assent, means tomake a decided stand against the accomplish- ment of the designs of the government of the United States, with respect to ‘annexation. Some men, of narrow minds, or who do not take large and com- prehensive views of the great movements and events of the time, ask why should England set her face so resolutely against annexation, as to oppose iteven at the hazard of a war? The answer is easy. England seeks in this anti-annexation move- ment, to which she is now bending her mighty energiesjwith such evident and significant anxiety, not only to interpose a check to the further progress of republican institutions on this continent, but also to counteract the growing influence of this republic on the masses of Europe. If Texas were annexed California would soon follow, and there would be no end to annexation, till the whole of this vast division of the earth owned the peaceful and blessed sway of democratic government. That England knows full well. Her opposition to annexation is, therefore, very natural. Besides, if she succeed in this bold and insolent interference with the progress of the republic, a great let and hindrance will be cre- ated to the influence which this country is now ex- ercising upon the subjects of the despotic dynasties of the ancient world. We have often alluded with peculiar satistaction to the vast and growing influence, which the splen- did example of this free land, advancing so rapidly and so prosperously in the seale of nations, exercises upon the minds of the European masses. By this simple means,far and wide have been scattered over the face of Europe, the seeds of a mightier revolu- tion than the world has yet seen. From thousands and thousands of happy homes, where industry en- joys its full reward, and where liberty and prosperi- ty are the household gods, voluntary exiles from the kingly realms of Europe, are sending every month to their relatives and connexions beyond the ocean, messages of glad tidings, which are awakening in their minds new hopes, new asperations, new emo- tions, and new resolves. A wide-spread and pas- Sonate admiration of republicanism has thus been breathed into the souls of the millions in the Euro pean world. A spirit of lite is moving in the val ley of dry bones. The rulers and privileged classes to have been pretty well received, although the music in some parts is rather heavy. Still, it has passed the ordeal thus far, and may be regarded as in some measure a hit. Our musical correspondent gives a full account of the whole affair. Tue Cutvese Laxauace.—We have received from the National Institute, at Washington, for pub- lication, an exceedingly interesting and erudite let- ter on the Chinese language, by one of the attaches of the late legation. As soon as we can get the characters, which are introduced by way of illus tration, engraved, which will be in a day.or two, we will publish this letter. It will be perused with great interest by our numerous readers, both in this country and in Europe. Tue Mystery or tue Mexican INSTALMENTS.— There has been a great deal of fuss about the pay- ment of two of the Mexican instalments to agents of our government, who are non est inventus. The government organ, the Union, and the Journal of Commerce, in this city, have attempted some ex- plangtion, but have merely given some hints, which render the mysterious transaction more impenetra- ble than ever. In order to cast as much light as possible on the affair, we give, under our Southern head, this morning, a letter from a Washington cor- respondent, who presents the official documents in relation to the whole matter. It will be very inter- esting to claimants, and shows conclusively that there has been gross blundering, if nothing worse, somewhere. Launcu at Honoxen.—Yesterday morning about half past nine o’clock, a launch of a steamboat took place from the yard of Mr. John C. Stevens. There were not asmany persons present as we have seen on former occasions, perhaps owing to it being no- tified that she was to have been launched on Wed- nesday morning last, which would have taken place, except for the lowness of the tide at the time. She, however, was lowered from her ways yestertay morning. She is a very superior looking boat, built of straight timber, including cedar, chesnut, and white oak. Her length is about one hundred and fifty feet by forty-nine feet beam,’and eleven feet hold. Her engines are on an improved principle, and constructed so as to only require a little more than one half the steam power of any other boat on the river. Her accommodations will be of a very superior nature. She is intended forthe Barclay street line, and it is believed she will be the fastest ferry boat on the line. Gepney’s Cuannet.—The following letter sent to Capt. Gedney, shows that there is plenty of water in the channel for the largest sized vessel. New Yorx, June 5, 1845. Cart. Gepsey— Dran S11 -At the request of Mr. Brown, I will ‘ou the depth of water carried out in the ship Columbus by Mr. Baker and myself, The lead line we marked at Quarantine.

Yours, respectful A JOHN B. H. WARD. N B.—We passed the Western buoy at 6 o'clock, wind light from W.8.W.—about a three knot breeze—the outer buoy at half-past 6 o’clock. High water 8 o'clock. We publish this in order to exhibit the folly of a few individuals to injure this port. It is to be hoped, that for the future, proper per- sons will be employed to take our national vessels to sea. from Quaranti we discov- Tue Last Duet 1s Puriapgetruia.—It seems that our correspondent was somewhat in error in his ac- count of the recent duel in Philadelphia, and we have been authorised by some of the parties to pub- lish the following statement, by which it appears that Schott was not injured at all :— Dve1.—Yeste: morning about nine o’clock, a duel took place between Edward §. Willing and William Schott, both of this city, at Namaan’s creek, on the boun- dary between Pennsylvania and Delaware. The duel was occasioned by Willing insulting Schott on Saturday night, on his way home from the theatre. They met in the street of Sunday, when a few hasty words followed, and Schott struck Willing. Cards were then exchanged, and a meeting was to have taken place on Monday, but it was prevented by the police. Yesterday morning the: ped the vigilance of the officers, ted a meet- ing, which resulted in the wounding of Willing in the thigh, Schott escay jured, although the ball of his adversary passed his clothes. H. J. Biddle was second on the part of Willing, and Lieut. Elliott on the part of Schott. This is the effect of public opinion. Schott had to fight, or be considered a coward. As Willing offered the insult, he deserves to suffer from his wound, and we hope this severe lesson may be the means of teaching him good manners. * Inaddition, we also learn that the difficulty be- tween the two young gentlemen did not grow out of the old family feud amongst their connexions. It was a separate and independent insult given by one to the other, and settled on their own hook. roug! ‘Tue Curves Squapron.—It is said that all the fuss about getting the Columbus to sea was a ruse of the gallant Commodore, for the purpose of creating the impression that it is difficult for a man-of-war to get into our harbor. Let an enemy try it, and he'll find obstacles rather more formidable than the bar. Theatricals. Tar Parx.—Another excellent house last night to see the new comedy “ Time Works Wonders.” It was received with the greatest approbation. Nisvo’s Garven.—“ The Seven Castles of the Passions,” with the other Placide, and the vocalists, Miss Matthews and Miss Taylor, Nickinson, and Gallagher, are drawing crowded saloons. This pro- mises great things; the new piece is deserving of all the enthusiastic applause it has received. We have never seen a piece ut Niblo’s start better; the dancing and the scenery are most excellent. The “Chaste Salute,” with Horn’s music, was well done. Mr. Davenport dashed through the Captain with great ease and style; and John Sefton was well received as Thibeaut. Both pieces are repeated to- night. Vauxuatt Garpen Satoon!—A. very good even- ing’s amusement may be obtained at this place at a trifling cost; much greater than could possibly be expected. The company is talented and varied; ex- cellent order keyt, and the intrusion of improper characters prevented. It only requires to be known to be appreciated. Tue Episcoracy or Penneyivania.—The Albany Argus of yesterday sa: We learn that yesterday the Rev. Alonzo Potter, D.D., replied to the committee at Philadelphia, and signified his acceptance of the Episcopate of that Diocese, to which he wae recently s0 wanninously elected, Grex Houston tw New Ontrans.—We_ have been requested to give notice that Gen, Sam Hous- on, Fx-President of Texas, will address a public te tals evening at 4 o'clock, at Bank's Arcade, on ‘ Haportant subjects, and, by special request, upon that ‘ Aunexation —N. 0, Pic. ‘Moy aly ay t Dr. Seabury and Dr. Wainwright. These gentleman having lately got into a discus- sion regarding the doctrine of praying for the souls ofthe dead, they have been delivering some dis- courses onthis subject. The dispute arose from the circumstance of a review of a compiled work called the “Order of Family Prayer,” which has recently been published by Dr. Wainwright, in which Dr. Seabury, who edits the Churchman, remarked that he was glad to see Dr. W. adopting the doctrme of “praying forthe dead.” This being denied by Dr. W. ina card in the Courier & Enquirer led to the preaching of sermons on both sides: of the question by the reverend gentleman. Dr. Seabury, on Sunday morning last, preached his second sermon on the subject, of which we give below a condensed report. The text was taken from the 11th chapter of the Epistle to the Hebrews, 39th and 40th verses, viz :— “And these all having obtained a good reportthrough faith,received not the promise. God having provided some better thi for us that they without us should not be le perfect.” The Kev. gentleman com- menoed by saying that the object of his last dis- course had been to show that, though the righteous alter death undoubtedly go to a place of happiness, still that their happiness needed consummation, an: a deliberate anulyzation of the text would clearly prove this, simple thought of happiness after death, is enough ap me ite rompt a spirit of prayer forthe consummation e ch f f a desirable object,— The faithful dead are still part of the church of Christ, and in ovary: prayer that is put up for them is Involved the whole of the church, and it is ameans whereby we keep up the communion of saints, and since thus this prayer is an act of the communion of saints, they are clearly tobe included in that act — The righteous who die in the Lord do not, on that account, cease to belong to the community of the Lord; they are still capable of receiving, and, in fact, expecting and hoping to receive those blessings we expect ourselves, and it would be hard not to pray to God that he should speedily accomplish the ex- pectations of a number of the elect, and bring them to the kingdom of glory. Though the prayer book contains no express prayer on this subject, still. it has no absolute prohibition, and to those who may be averse to the, adoption of such a prayer, you certainly cannot say that the church enjoins it; and on the contrary, if there is any wish to use such a prayer, you cannot say that it condemns it. ‘The church on this: subject has plainly left the clerey free to defend the practice; and availing myself of this liberty, I will now en- deavor to show how this doctrine stands in relation to the Scriptures and ancient times and bee, and to. shew the injustice of those who condemn the church for not having expunged it from its form of prayer. Suflice it to say, as regards scripture, that it does not forbid us to pray for departed members f the christian church, though it certainly is not r ‘When we advocate the baptism of in- fants, it must be remembered that it is neither cx- pressly ordered or forbidden, though we argue that it is pleasing to the feelings of christians to perform this rite, and may be included under the divine command to go Baptise all nations. In order to prove that the practice of prayer for the souls of the departed prevailed among the Jews, he would refer, simply as a matter of record, to the histories of Maccabeus and Naphtali, and from the various facts there to be found, itis evident that, even ‘at that pe- riod, which was one hundred and sixty years before Christ, the Jews held not only to the doctrine of re- surrection, but also of prayer for the dead. Now, St. Paul, in the text, refers to Hebrew Christians, and it has baen thus interpreted by Dr. Higby, who is supported in his opinion by various of the old fathers; and what im; reson would it have produced on Hebrew Christians who were no sti rs to the doctrine of prayer for souls? He would bring forward various texte in support of this doctrine. Among others, that enjoinin; them to make to themselves friends of the mammon oj unrighteou: that when ye fail they may receive you into everlasting habitations, which might be inter- preted to signifying the necessity of making friends of the Saints in Heaven, so that gelting there they may be received into everlasting habitations. Also, the answer to the penitent thiefon “This day shalt thou be with me in Paradise ;” this was a promise to be re- membered and fulfilled in Paradise. St. Peter says, quick- ened in the flesh, &c. Again, when they were in custo- or as it is better translate: |, & place of safe ke tween his death and resurrection, preached his end to them, thus exalting their spirits for a future life. St. Paul ‘Pray to the saints.” Now we believe that the souls e saints are in Pcradise, and that we can make them our friends oe alms and prayers.” St. Paul also asks for the mercy at the last day of Onesi- mus. Now, ‘not strange he could pray for mercy ofa family and saints without including the saints in prayer. Regarding the baptizing for the dead there are various opinions. Tertullian says, some friends 1eceived bap- tism for those who died without this rite, in order that they might receive pone ‘ers of the Ue 3 I will pass from Scriptural authority to that of Antiquity, in quoting from the various Ancient Litanies or books of prayer handed down by the Apostles, though from various cir cumstances not committed to writing till the year 300, and which contain yazan for the whole si of the po 2 Christian Church. 'e will commence with “We offer to thee for all the saints that have pl thee from the beginning of the world.” St. James of rusalem says, ‘*Remember the spirit of all departed saints, make them to rest.” St. Mark si “Give rest to the souls of all those in the Tabernacle of our Saints, and vouchsafe them the Kingdom of Heaven.” Another says, “ Unite all of te who partake of this one bread and one cup, that we may find mercy and grace with all thy saints thet have pleased thee since the beginning of the world, whom we commemorate ; and be mindful of those who rest in hope of resurrection to eternal life.” The Ethiopian, Nestorian, Severus and Roman Litanies con- tain almilar petitions, ‘These prayers say that the Bu: charist is in memory of Christ and must not be separated from him ; but when we put God im mind of the Eucha- rist we also put Him in mind of the Christian Church and thus keep up the communion of saints. This will elucidate the part of the service calling on us to remem- ber de) members of the Christian Church from the just Abel to the present day ; and we are to thank God for their good examples pray to follow them and re- ceive their crown with joy, and finally obtain the full- ness of the Kingdom of Heaven. Anorner New Comet.—Mr. Bennett, a Hamp- ton road pilot, saw a comet about three o’clock on Saturday morning. Captain Silliman of the James Pat- ton, Jr., from Charleston, reports that on Monday last, at three o’clock A.M., when about fifteen miles south of Chincoteague, he saw a comet in aN. E. direction, 12 or 14 degrees above the horizon. It was excee: ly bril- liant, and its tail was so much longer than the tails of the comets whieh have been visible here, that it attracted the attention of Captain Silliman. The Ledger was in- formed by a watchman of the township of Moyamensing, that a comet of considerable magnitude and brilliancy was seen by him, about three o’clock, Monday morning, in a northeasterly direction. The tail was very distinct pointing to the southwest, and the whole was visib till it le counts siter wil in our sphere.

Mr. Crust now proposed to read this paper. Mr. Moanis objected on the ground that Mr. Kittletas had not shown sutticient skill in identifying the paper as Ashley’s handwriting ; objections overruled. ‘This paper dated 11th day of September, 1859, purports to the last Will and Testament of Joseph C. Aahley, in which he gives to his wife the lot and premises, No. 18 Grand street, and other property ; and mentions that his executors will find an instrument annexed to this doc- ument signed’ by Mr. Fairbairn, one of his oxecutors, stating that all the is held in his nefit of roperty mentioned in the testament, (Fairbairn’s) ‘name, in trust for the is (Ashley's). heirs.

Cross-examined—Mr. Crist, the prosecutor in thie case, wrote mea note, requesting me to call at his of- fice. I did so; he suggested my calling on Ashley, aud telling him ifhe would pay amount of a judgment obtained against him by Mr. sr te ne would take no further active measures against him, The judgment was for $2000. Mr, C aid Ashley had better settle the difficulty, and he would then be let out of prison, though he did not wish to compromise the matter.

Avnanant Crist, Esq., sworn—Sent for Mr. Lowry af- ter Mr. Ashley was arrested, in consequence of finding his name on the records at the Register’s office; stated to him that I found his nar tached to a deed under very suspicious circumstance and wished him to in- form me how he came to sign it, and wh knew about the matter; he refused to give any informat he was called as a witne: knew about it; this was the sub: that occasion; was said about compromise; my impression is that this paper (this was t:e will o!

In order to learn to what animal it had belonged, the Woodbury Constitution, to whom it was presented, showed it to Professor Johnson, of Philadelphia, who pronounced it to be a tooth of the Mastodon. No other remains have as yet been discovered, but Mr. Duell intends to mak particular examinatian of the dg from th markable fine preservation of this tooth, it is believed the skeleton, or a portion of it may be found. The tooth was lying on a bed of limestone, about four feet from the surface, in meadow ground.

The Fitchburg Railroad will be soon continued to Bur- lington, Vermont, on the Fast side of Lake Champlain: By a recent act of the Legislature of this State, accompa” ny was formed for the purpose of constructing a railroad from the Western side of Lake Champlain to Ogdensburg: at the foot of navigation from the great Western Lakes’ Ogdensburg is two hundred miles nearer Boston than Bufalo, being about the same distance from Boston, that Suffalo isfrom Albany.
