NEW. YORK HERALD. ee New York, Sunday, June 8, 1845. Foreign - The great fact of the active interference of Great Britain with the policy of the United States, in re- gard to the annexation of ‘Texas, which has been so clearly developed by recent events, is beginning to produce its natural effect on the American mind. A direct and irresistible appeal has thus been made to the patriotism of the republic; and all the power of party and prejudice has utterly failed in quenching IN any quarter, that ardent determination, which is fast becoming universal, to uphold the dignity and policy of the country,and to counteract, and if need be, chastise this unfriendly and insolent interference in our affairs. Even in the leading journals of the party opposed to annexation, we discover gratifying tokens of this national spirit. In this city we find the Courier & Enquirer, and the Commercial Advertiser, and in the country such papers as the Baltimore American, coming out boldly in favor of annexation, and ex- pressing, with becoming zeal and spirit, their indig- nant sense of the necessity of checking effectually the’progress, to a successful termination, of that scheme of intrigue, menace, bravado, and diploma- tic maneeuvre, which Great Britain has adopted, and now pursues with such energy and industry in rela- tion to the present relations of Texas, Mexico and the United States. Amongst the masses of the peo- ple the feeling in favor of annexation is bursting forth like a fire on the prairies. The question is no longer @ mere party question, enlisting only the prejudices and interested supportof partizanship, It has become a great national question—involving the honor and welfare of the republic, and the supremacy of free government throughout this continent. Every suc- ceeding day the contingency of a war with England is regarded with less and less apprehension, even in quarters where the probability of such an event was not long since thought of with undissembled alarm. If war should come, the Courier avows its conviction that it would be carried to the gates of Mexico itself, and result in the annexation of California, and the ultimate subjugation of the whole Southern conti- nent. Tbis is but the utterance of the sentiments and feelings of the whole people of this republic. Such has been the result in this country of the inter- ference of Great Britain, In Texas itself, that interference}fappears to have produced a very singular effect, from the develop- ments made by Ex-President Houston in his speech | r: | at New Orleans. It would seem that the Britis! diplomacy, experienced, crafty and sagaciot is, has been outwitted by cally Yan and shrewdness. The ish and French agen’ have been stimulated excited and encouragec in their movements by the leading men of Texas, for the purpose of awakening the jealousy of this country, and fanning the popular flame in fa ol annexation. If this turn out to be corr have now good reason to anticipate, the ‘Who is the dupe ?” will be very satisfac: swered. It will then be'discovered that the '/1 have been duping the British and French gover- ™ments and their agents. This will, no doubt, irritate the British government very much, and compel them either to repudiate Mr. Elliott and disavow his Movements, or openly assume the responsibility which attaches to them. But the latter alternative is one which it is not likely they will adopt. That would be assuming rather too hazardous ground. In the meantime, public attention is anxiously di- rected to the movements in the Gulf of Mexico. The last rumor is, that a Mexican army had passed the Rio Grande. A few days will determine the truth of this rumor. We do not believe it at all probable that if Texas were annexed, Mexico would attempt to invade that territory, unless backed and supported by European influence. Then comes up the ques- tion whether England would have the hardihood to instigate her to make war, or give her aid if she would do 60? If Mexico should take such a course, it would inevitably result inher complete overthrow Thousands and thousands in this great Republic would eagerly rush into a war with Mexico. They would desire nothing better in dull days. Mass Meeting or Tur Worxinc Mex.—We understand that a considerable gathering of work- ing men took place on Friday evening last, for the purpose of considering their condition in the present state of affairs. Several speeches were made and resolutions offered, among others proposing to do away with merchants as a class, and establish a reg- ular system of barter among producers, but these were rescinded and more general views were taken, and finally it was— Resolved, That a committee of nine from this meeting, and one from each trade in the city, be appointed to take into consideration and report at a future meeting, means to reduce the great and rapidly increasing evils of s0- ciety. Such meetings as this have been, from time to time, held in this city, and the same result has al- ways attended them, viz:—nothing. These meet- ings are generally got up by hungry politicians, who are always on the qui vive to adopt any scheme that may lead them to office, and more than one office holder in this city owes his advancement entirely to the notoriety he has obtained by his pseudo sympa- thy with the working man. The truth is, in cases like the present, ’tis useless to endeavor to alter the course of society; it is not so easily done as these re- solution framers would;make their audiences believe. ‘The country is large and full of encouragement for mechanical arts, and were the working men really i essity of employment, there is scarcely a vil- lage or town in the whole of the United States, but what will afford them some, though, perhaps, in the large cities,from over population, they may not have so much employ as elsewhere. Tueatricats—Tut Park.—This week is to be the last of the season at the Park, and the manage- ment intend to make it a brilliant one. On Tuesday Mr. and Mrs. Dyott have their benefit, on which occasion an amateur of this city makes his public debut as Richard the Third. On Wednesday night Anderson plays “Claude Melnotte” and the “Elder Brother,” and sails next day in the Great Western. He has visited Niagara, and has been quite delighted with that sublime spectacle. Anim- mense house will, no doubt, give him, on Wednes- day night, a kind farewell. Then, on Friday night Mrs. Mowatt makes her debut, and Crisp will appear as “Claude Melnotte.” Avorner Tueatre.—Mr. Thomas Flynn is fitting up the old Richmond Hill Theatre, so as to contain 3,000 spectators. He is going to call it the ‘‘Nation- al Theatre.” Tom’s enterprise is certainly worthy of success, and it is to be hoped he will come in for a share of the public patronage—of the uptown resi- dents in particular. Tus New Oprra—“ Leonora.”—The papers in Philadelphia are beginning to come out about the bew opera by the Frys, and the criticims are not by any means flattering to the composers. We give in this day’s Herald another account of the first per- formance of the opera, from a different quarter from that whence we received our first report, and ac- cording to our correspondent, the production is very far from being entitled to that high rank which was assigned to it by some of the critics before it was The truth of the matter, in- performed in publi deed, seems to be that “ Leonora” is made up o, selections from “ Norma” and “ La Somnambula,’s with, according to some musical gentlemen from this city, who went to Philadelphia to hear ‘it per- formed—a sprinkling of that popular music called “Ethiopian,” or “nigger.” The present is only another instance of the folly and bad judgment of that system of exaggerated encomium which be- putts and bespatters, with the highest praise, produc- tions of all shades of inferiority, from mediocre down to unmitigated trash. &G Among the arrivals yesterday at the Astor House, we find the name of Mr. Davis, of New Or- * leans, the Manager of the French Opera Company, who have leased the Park Theatre from the 16th Madame Calve, and the otherfmembers of the Com- pany, have also arrived in the city.

Last August in the Cathedral of Treves, the tunic of Christ was shown, and its sight and touch, it was declared, would heal the sick and perform various miracles. Tens of thousands flocked to see,and once more in the middle of the 19th century, amidst po- pulations enlightened by the positive sciences, 2 childish scene of the middle ages was enacted over again, but enacted unfortunately not by children, but by beings full of the perversity of perverted, cal and superstititous manhood. This scene exci- ted the indignation of many honest and devoted hearts, and at length a Catholic Priest by the name of Ronge protested openly and powerfull this act of the Church of Rome, and call countrymen, who rejected these acts and scenes of e, to unite with him in the condemna- tion, and to form a German Catholic Church. ‘This proposition met adeep and wide response, and this movement, undertaken by an obscure individual in the Catholic hierarchy, has ina few months awaken- ed among the Germans a new series of religious dis- cussions, and a new spirit. Political questions have been put aside by the press, and the most important political events give way to the interest excited by this new religious movement. aa ey A strange fact is to be-remarked in this new move- ile the enlightened Catholics of Germany ious reform, itis at- etists, who are the ‘West {aah (Correspondence of the Herald.)

Mars, I shrewdly suspect, has itunder his especial guardian- ship, and wilt either cast his vote for dry weather or make such arrangements as will not interfere with the legitimate calling of his sons. Bellona, too, will have a word to say; for many, if not all, of her daughters—at least, of her sex—appear deeply inte- rested in the uninterrupted progress of the exercises that have convened so many here from various and distant quarters.

Marcy; Brooke, General Towson, Connell has adopted towards is beginning to be felt, and not only felt; but exhibited in a mode which the great agitator cannot misunderstand. His wholesale abuse, and the vituperative language that he indulges in on every occasion that he can by any way introduce the subject of America or Americans, has shown himfin his true character of amere demagogue,who seeks by the agitation of such impracticable schemes as repeal, schemes that are impossible in themselves and can never be carried out, to obtain for himself a certain position in the eyes of the world, and not only position, but an immense income in the shape of tribute collected from his own starving country- men. Itis in this light that the more intelligent portion of his followers in this country are now viewing him, and, accordingly, in every direction we hear of the disbanding of Repeal asso- ciations, and the passing of resolutions indicative of a return to plain common sense ideas of repeal aud other foreign questions. weeks ago, the Louisiana Repeal Association was dissolved, and a similar fate has been met by the associations in Baltimore, Pottsville, and various other parts of the country; and now, in this city, we perceive that a meeting of the United Repeal Association of the city of New York, has been called for Monday evening next, at Tammany Hall, and we presume it will there be quietly laid on the shelf, and dissolved. The entire course that has been pursued in this country by the adopted citizens in reference to re- peal, has been most injudicious, This banding to- gether of foreign born citizens for any object what- ever, is contrary to all the proper principles of a Re- publican Government such as this is. Teigners arrive here they are supposed to have thrown off all their feelings as subjects to the powers that they may happen to have been brought up un- der, and to assume the feelings of American citizens, and as such, the clinging to their old politival ideas and the publicly holding meetings, forming associa- tions, and transmitting subscriptions for the purpose of forwarding the plans of such foreign demagogues as O'Connell, is well calculated to arouse bitter feel- ings against them among the native born citizens, the proof of which is the career of the native party both here and elsewhere, and the lamentable scenes of violence and bloodshed that have been the con- sequence of that career, all of which may be traced to the original Irish associations that were formed for If they are so anxious to assist O’Connell, hem forward their benefactions to him indivi- y and privately, for they may rest assured that ng any money from the Americans’ Connell will be ready enough to take it, let it come in large or small sums, publicly or privately. But there 1s another stake played for on this side the Atlantic. O’Connell, like all other public characters, does notlack his imitators,on a small scale certainly, There are a number of indi- who gladly seize upon any pretext to force ves before the public, and presuming upon a \.ous importance, assume to themselves a grave and lofty bearing, as men of immense shrewdness and attainment. This class have also religiously en- deavored to keep afloat the agitation of repeal in this country, as political capital—the united votes of the different associations having no mean influence on either of the great parties—and in disbanding these associations these parties would be thrown out of theiremploy. We may thus account for the pro- tracted, but sickly existence of their various organs But the particular class of citi- zens that have hitherto been the catspaws of this clique, to forward their political plans, are awaken- ing to a sense of their own individual rights, and we imagine that a few short weeks will see the Re- peal Associations of the United States classed among the things that have been, and with their leaders buried in oblivion. this country Come what will, In New Orleans some all the punctuality All of its le sustain and encourage this re! tacked with violence by the strictly orthodox Protestants, and who correspond to the Presbyterians andMeth ‘he reason of this is that while Ronge has protest- ed against what he conceived abuses in the | Catholic Church.

The truth is, that the new religious movement of Rouge is political and social in its nature, as well as ing a part of its ideas from Fourier and Owen. ‘The idea of a better practical state of things on this earth, to be preduced by Christian charity and philanthropy, by those grand doctrines of fraternity, justice, equi ay given to the world by Christ, could not have faile to enter into a movement of this kind, because that idea is now living every where in societ obtained a positive existence in the world. — with his idea of a Universal Church, which shall connecting the rich and 0 ristian charity, and estab- lishing a brotherhood in the place of the war of castes clans, of the privileged and the oppressed, is a political and social, as well as a reli and this has aroused against him those who \ maintain privilege, usurpation and injustice in the ‘otestant or Catholic.

Watchman Westlake immediately repaired to the spot from whence the cry proceeded, ind found a large number of blacks, male and female, assembled in front of a porter house. The woman who was screaming and bawling appeared to be affected with the grecn-eyed monster, jealousy, in consequence of another dark skinned lady having’ at- tempted to win the affections of her beau. The watch- man ordered her into the house, whena brawny black fellow, named Isaac Robbi: tepped up and swore the woman was his mist! he had a right to make as much noise as she pl id he would defend her with his life “in de werry same manner Joe Kirby used to defend his lady lub at de Chatham,” and the watch- man had better [et her alone.

The increase in the receipts of railroad companies in active operation, in all parts of the world, from one year to another, is sufficient to convince every one ‘that ultimately, the productiveness of these works must be greater, and more profitable than any other description of property in existence. Invest- ments in these works are now sought for eagerly; and those partially finished, upon which immense sums have beenexpended, are rapidly gaining ground in public confidence, and will, in time, yield a handsome dividend upon the expenditures. It is true, that the railroads in this vicinity are not at present very productive, and their progress towards completion rather slow, but we have not yet abandoned all hope of their being finished, and of their proving to be, ultimately, profitable pro- perty.

The Provincial tax on the circulation was £3,- 999, or about 8 per cent on the amount of dividends. Tho weekly returns of the railroads of Europe, afford the best evidence of the productiveness of these works. The receipts of nearly every company in operation are very large, but the weekly increase is sufficient to create in the minds of those interested the most favorable anti- cipations for the future.

The principal lines in Great Britain regularly declare the following dividends. The Grand Junction Railroad, 10 per cent per annum. ‘The great North of England, 6 per cent per annum. ‘The Great Western, 8 per cent per annum. The Liverpool and Manchester, 9 per cent per annum.

We have capitalists in this city, sa- tisfied with four and five percent interest for the money invested in government and bank stock, neither of which investments are safer, or so profitable, as stock in good railroad companies, in active operation, out of debt, and favorably located. Banks may explode, States may repu. diate, insurance companies may meet with serious losses and become bankrupt, but railroad property is imperish- able, and although accidents may from time to time hap- pen, and trifling losses be experienced, there is no such thing as complete annihilation, no such thing as running away with the iron track, or the embezzlement of a very large amount of property in any way. It is astonishing that we have diverging from this city two railroads in an unfinished state, which might be made the most profit able lines in the Union. We refer to the Harlem ani Erie Railroads. The benefits this city would derive from) a completion of these works are immense, and have been repeatedly and particularly represented, but so far without much effect. The Harlem road is in the hand: of capitalists who will eventually complete it to Albany under the new charter, but the Erie road, under its pre sent management, is a hopeless concern.
