War with Mexico. ‘The public mind, which had been quietly settling down into the conviction that all the threatening clouds had dispersed, and that annexation was short- ly to be settled forever, without any war or diflicul- ty, isagain disturbed by rumors and indications of the approach of a less agreeable state of affairs be- tween this ccuntry and Mexico. The heavens begin again to gather blackness, and distant mutterings of thunder appear to foretell the coming storm. Amongst the indications of a threatening charac- ter, which engage public attention, are certain move- ments in the War Department, which, connected with the alleged presence of a Mexican force on the Nueces, are certainly worthy of note. Genera] Seott, who had been presiding at the Board of Ex- amination at West Point, left this city, it is said, very suddenly on the might of Tuesday last, in con- sequence of a message received from Washington. Other rumors are afloat in various quarters to the effect that a hostile movement is contemplated by the government for the purpose of driving the Mex- icans over the Rio del Norte. More significant,how- ever, than all these givings out, is the tone of the government organ itself. It no longer effects to treat with contempt the opinion that Mexice may offer forcible resistance to annexation, but takes up and treats with great seriousness the statements which have ‘frequently appeared relative to the issuing of letters of marque by Mexico, and declares in the most emphatic terms, that if that power venture on such a step, the government of the United States would at once “issue orders to the Commanders of our Squadrons—if they have not already been issu- ed—to treat as pirates any foreign vessel that is pleased to sail with foreign crews under those letters of marque.” It is thus apparent that there is not so little dan- ger of an important crisis in our relations with Mex- ico, as many have recently been led to imagine. By treating those vessels sailing under Mexican let- ters of marque as pirates, the interference of En- gland and France would be effectually stopped,anda war between the United States and Mexico be pre- cipitated, which would inevitably result in the com- plete subjugation of the latter. Such a war would be one of the most popular movements ever made in this country. Thousands and tens of thousands would rush into it at once, and take possession of the gold and silver mines, whilst our conquer- ing eagles would soon float on to the towns of Mexico, and the miserable misgoverned people of that country be blessed with civilization and li- berty. Tue Heart or tie New Puosopuy—Tue “Tripung” anp Generat Jacksox.—We have seldom seen such an exhibition of unanimity of feeling amongst the newspaper press of this country, as in the expression of sentiment and opinion, called forth by the death of General Jackson. The whig papers, it is true, do not say a great deal about the departed hero and statesman; but what they do say is respectful,"and in good taste. One remarkable exception, however, to this general exhibition of good feeling and good taste, is presented in the case of the New York Tribune. ‘ On the morning after the intelligence of the death of Jackson was received in this city, the Tribune shocked and disgusted every,body, by a mean and paltry attempt to blacken the character ofthe mighty dead. For this outrageous piece of folly and ma- lignity, the Fourierite organ received a universal re- buke; and, amongst others, the Don Giovanni o¢ the New York democracy, Captain Rynders, took occasion, at a meeting of his club, to chastise the philosopher in pretty severe terms. There are some people who will not be taught discretion—even if you pound them in a mortar with a pestle, they will still be fools—and the men of the Fourierite organ appear to be of this unfortunate category. In- stead of opening their eyes toa full conviction of their gross violation of every principle of charity and sound judgment, in the first instance, out they came yesterday with an elaborate article, ful! of the most abusive and vituperative epi- thets, applied to General Jackson, and Captain Rynders, in about equal proportions. As for the Captain and his friends, they are quite able to de- fend themselves—they are of age, and can be quite as eloquent and denunciatory as the 7'ribune man. But the abuse of Jackson, we cannot suffer to pass without notice—abuse of whose character and ani- mus the reader may judge by the following spe: mens :—“Jobber in human flesh”—‘slave trader” ‘destructive influence in politics and morals”— “wholesale butchery”’—“his crimes against liberty and law”"—“lynch-law”—“ official mail robbery”— “forcible exile of unoffending tribes”—‘avowed perfidy to the Cherokees”—“‘coyert, rapacious treachery to Mexico.” Such is the manner in which the Tribune honors the memory of the dead. And yet this is the very Tribune that glories in its title and character as the organ of that philosophy which is to open the gates of the new Jerusalem— expel from human society all the evil passions of the heart—and introduce an era of universal peace, charity and benevolence! This is the Tribune which is continually prating about its superior re- spectability and freedom from low and vulgar preju. dice and passion,—boring us about.its visions of the glorious millennium of universal love and harmony, and whining piteously. every other day about the scurrilities and indecencies of the press! And yet we find this miracle of decency deliberately and in cold blood violating all the humanities of civilized society—raking up, with a poinard, the ashes of the dead, and loading with every epithet of infamy the memory of a man, not, it is true, without faults, but endowed with many virtues—a man of lofty, heroic character—one who has rendered great ser- vices to the republie—and to whom men of all par- ties are now offering homage respectful and sincere. Why, even the Tribune's friend in Wall street, nur- tured amid all “the brutalities of the camp,” and with all his lack of taste, judgment, and feeling, has not been guilty of such a gross violation of decency and propriety. Tue Fonerar Opsequies.—The funeral proces} sion on Tuesday next, will be one of the most im- posing displays ever witnessed in this city. The military, civic bodies, political associations, and so- cieties of all kinds, benevolent and literary, are uni- ting in the arrangements for the solemn occasion with remarkable unanimity and earnestness. The French Opera company have hit upon an ad- mirable, and most appropriate mode of concluding the solemnities of the day. They have hired the Tabernacle, and in the evening will perform Mo- zart’s Requiem, with all the strength, vocal and in- strumental, which they can command. From Jamaica.—We learn from Capt. Stanley, of the Thomas, arrived yesterday in sixteen days from Montego Bay, Jamaica, that a very severe hurri- cane had been experienced at St. Ann’s Parish, on the lth of May, and it was feared had done consi- derable damage to the pimento blossom. Gonk To Sea.—The Collector of the Port has gone on a week's visit to the light houses on this coast in the steamer attached for light house superinten- dence, to the revenue department we ever recollect having seen, were *present. By hall past 7 o’clock, the room was quite full, and ere the meeting was called to order, it was quite impos- sible to get within sight of the chair,much lesa seat, which were all secured with amazing alacrity in an- ticipation of the coming throng. Hon. Luruer Bravisn, the President, called the meeting to order. On his right sat the Hon. Danis. Weesrerx, Hon. B. F. Burter on his left. The minutes of the last meeting were read by the Recording Secretary, and adopted. The Domestic Corresponding Secretary announced a communica- tion from the Dorchester Antiquarian Soviety of Massachusetts in answer to some inquiries of the New York Historical Society. ‘The foreign Cor- responding Secretary drew the aitention of the body to a former communication from Mr. Lester, United States Consul at ——, relative to some ancient and very curious charts, which he proposed presenting to the Society, and as the gentleman was then present, he would, with the permission of the meeting, call upon hith to address the meeting. _ Mr, Leister rose and said, that he often felt anxi join in their deliberations, when abroad, and no 1 quently felt prone on hearing the name of their si ry mentioned by literary men and by foreign princes in Honorable terms. They had commanded the gratitude of their countrymen of the present day, and secured that of days to come: for with them it would be the case as with other nations. The period would arrive when the light of history would grow dim, and when their succes- sors would look back for information to them. He would present to them an ancient illuminated mariner’s chart, on canvass, used by the Genoese before the days of Co- lumbus, giving a delineation of Malta, Sicily, Corsica, Elbe, Majorca, and all the countries composing what was then the known world, It was a veneraole relic of anti- quity, of which few could be found, and which he begged rmission to deposit in their archieves, thanking them for being permitted to-do so. A vote of thanks was given to Mr, L, for his present, when Mr. Wermone read a list of a few names proposed by the nominating committee aa honorary and resident members. Accepted. Mr. Scnootcrart occupied the time of the society tor nearly an hour, with an historical essay on some event- ful passages in the war of the revolution, with a particu- lar account of the Siege of Fort Stanwix. The paper was quite fit for patriotic ears, but it was too long for the occasion, as tho auditory seemed, from various marks of restlessness, to think. ‘The conclusion, however, was highly appropriate, containing, as it did, a brief, but feel- ing allusion tothe death of General Jackson, whose name was identified with so many stirring incidents of his country’s history, suc! ad been described. A vote of thanks was passed to Mr. 8. for his pay acopy of it solicited for publication in the reco society, when r, and is of the inehouzen M. Wartatonr: arose and addressed the mect- ing. On rising, sir, to present certain resolutions for your consideration, I cannot permit myself to doubt that the subject to which they refer, will receive a favorable re- ception from this Society. We have seen it announced that Geueral Andrew Jackson expired on the 8th of this month. It is, in my opinion, proper, that when those distinguished for their virtues and public services are taken away by death, that some notice should be taken of the estimation in which they are held by their fellow men. It seems tome, Sir, that this death presents an appropriate occasion for such a testimonial as I have al- luded to, and such as calls forth the resolutions I now submit to you. I feel sensibly how utterly inadequate any words of mine would be to do justice to the subject brought to your notice now, but I am happy to know that there are gentlemen present who have kindly consented to take a part in our proceedings, and whose abilities and eloquence are such as lend lustre and adorn eve! subject they address themselvesto. 1 therefore feel it my duty simply to submit the resolutions to the Society for theiradeption. 1 will now read them. The society has learned with profound regret the death of Andrew Jackson, an illustrious citizen, whose long public services endeared him to the American people, and whose life and conduct will be inseparably connect- ed, in history, with the era to which he belonged. Therefore, it is Resolved, That in common with our fellow citizens throughout the Union, we lament the de- cease of a Belant and distinguished soldier, whose victo- ries have shed lustre on the Republic, an independent, sagacious, and faithful magistrate, whose steady aim was to advance the honor of his country. Resolved, That he who has gone down to his grave full of honors and full of years, has left behind him a charac- ter, whose attributes of patriotism, resolution, fearless- ness of responsibility, marked him one of the few great men who leave an impress upon the age in which they lived. “Heaven gave him length of days, and he filledthem with deeds of greatness.” His reputation is now the property of his country, and should be the care of her future biographers and histori: Resolved, That the members of thi: the deceased was an honorary associate, will wear the customary badge of mourning, and unite with the muni- cipal authorities and citizens in paying a public tribute of respect to his memory. The reading of the resolutions having closed— Hon. Benjamin F, Burien rose and said—Mr. President having been sppointed by the Executive Committee to second the resolutions which are now before you, | rise for the purpose of performing that duty. I perfectly un- derstand, and I trust I perfectly appreciate, the motives that induced the Executive Committee to assign to me this honorable distinction. I trust also that I shall ob- serve the propriety due to the occasion; that I shall not permit the close personal or political relations that existed between myself and the distinguished deceased to tempt mein the ‘slightest degree to infringe on the courtesy due to that large, respectable and most highly esteemed portion of my audience that do not st in these relations. I shall, therefore, in the few remarks J make, very carefully avoid any reference to those great political events and questions with which he was com- nected, for important as they were in their bearing on the happiness and prosperity of this great people, andre- lated to the destiny of this nation, and in some degree of the world—conspicuous as will be the page they shall All, aud ample as will be the share they will occupy in our country’s history as well as that of the world, I could not touch them now without exciting some feelin, that should, at least, for a time, be buried in oblivion. would feel no emotion now except that of sorrow—of grief, such as fills the universal American heart—no emotion in this place, except that which belongs to the sympathies of American patriots, or that which belongs to the delightful pleasures of literary association. could not introduce to this association subjects o another kind, to which I have alluded, and he who should do so in a mixed andience like this, would under- take a difficult task. I would not be the one needlessly to stir up political controversy. Fortunately the strongly marked character of Andrew Jackson, ‘and th incidents of his eventful life, obviate the necessity. Of what other man in this nation can it be said, that while yet in the years of his boyhood—as we have been told in the beautiful and eventful story we have just been listening t 6 was associated with the defenders of his couutry’s liberty, and shedding his blood in a peculiar and unex- ampled manner, he should, in addition to this, be distin- 3 ished by the Re per ipere fact that twofof his youthful rothers went to their graves in the same struggle. of what other man can it be said, that although brought up among a somewhat rude and uneducated people, he rose by the force of his genius, and assisted in laying the foundation, and shaping the institutions of that new State, which has since given two Presidents to the Union. Of what other man can it be said, that, called like another Cincinnatus from his farm to lead the armies of his country with such success as sheds lustre onthe military penins of America, and fills the world with the fame of his exploits ; and that while in prompti- tude andcelerity of action, he was a match for the wily savage ; in strategy and genius, he was not surpassed by the veterans of Europe. Shall! not say that in his mill tary exploits, beginning with the campaign against the Creeks, and ending with the defence of New Orleans, not to speak of the Seminole war, he placed his name among the first of commanders ; and I have it, from the best capable of judging among that great people he met inthe field, that although the scene of his operations was small, and the events trivial, he did show, e: ial- in his defence at New Orleans, those great qualities that jmarked a Hannibal, an Alexander, a Napoleon, a Cosar, or a Wellington, ‘And is it not a crowning glory that whatever errors may be imputed,or prejudice enter- t gainst him, that in the very flush of battle and ory, his every act was that of patriotism and true of country. Of what other man can it be said that he was called to the defence of his country without ex- pectation—he was also called to the head of the govern ment, and to fill such a conspicuous place in the opinions countrymen and mankind ; and when he retired to rivate life, like what he was, a man in a million, one of thore few mortals who are not born to die—he exhibited the same qualities of a Christi it distinguished him through life. I had the great pleasure something more than a year ago to spend four or five days with him, during which time, when spoken to of the great subject of his departure from this life, he treated it with sucha becoming regard as might be expected from him; and although he was a man of the strongest personal attachment ag well as prejudices, if you will, yet there was nothing, when it became proper to allude to this subject, he showed a simplicity and docility that went to the heart of every one, and told them he was a Christian. He has been taken irom the sorrows and trials and transitory scenes of carth—from the cares of this mortal state, ina | me old age and under circumstances that justifies the hope that he has entered a better world ; and it is for us to cherish the memory of his virtues, however we ma differ from his views, to emulate his American heart, his American character, his exceeding and abounding pa- triotiam, I second the rea eng mo | Mr. Wenstex then rose, and was greeted with ap] plause. He said :— Nothing could be more natural or proper than that this Society should take a respectful notice of the deceare of Society, of which ‘uished a member of its body. Accustomed oc- ally to meet the Society, and to enjoy the commu- nications that are made to it, proceed from it, illus: trative of the history of the country and its govern ment, I have pleasure in bee. 7 a ge at this time also, and onthis occasion, on which an element so mournful mingles itself. Gen. Andrew Jackson has been from an ear- \y period conspicuous in the service and in the councils of the country, though not without long intervals, so far as respects his connection with the goneral government. It is fifty years, I think, since he was a member of the Congress of the United States, and at the instant, Sir, | Jo not know whether there be living an associate of Gen. Jackson in the House of Representatives of the United States, at that day, with the exception of the distinguish. ed and venerable gentleman, who is now President of society. I recollect only of the Congress of ‘96, at moment now living, but one—Mr. Gallatin— Lom I may be mistaken. General Jackson, Mr. President, wi he lived, and his memory and character, now that he has deceased, are prosented to his country and the world in different views ind relations. “He was a soldier—a general officer and acted no unimportant part im that capacity. He } was raised by repeated elections to the high it station in | ‘he civil government of his country, an @ part i , rs certainly not obscure nor unimportant in that characte Lea paracter and Jn regard to hie Services; | parti chal ie ike genera! continent at aE whole country, and I believe of the world.

But if it was my misfortune to for from General Jack- son on many or most of the great measures of his administration, there were occasions, and those not umimportent, in which I felt it my duty, and accord- ing to the highest sense of that duty, to conform to his opinions, ard support his measures. re were junc- tures in his administration—periods which I thought in- are and critical—in which the views that he felt it to his duty to adopt corresponded entirely with my sen- timents in regard to the protection of the best interests of the country, and the‘institutions under which we live; and it was my humble endeavor on these occasions to yield to his opinions and measures the same cordial sup- port as if I had never differed from him before, and ex- ected never to differ from him again. ‘That General ks marked character—a strong character— Li ry remarkable influence over other men’s opinions—that he had great perseverance wnd resolution in civil as well es in. military administration, all admit. Nor do I think that ‘the candid amongst mankind will ever doubt that it was his desire, ees ar with whatsoever portion of a di ition to be himself instrumental in that exaltation—to elevate hi country to the highest Prosperity andhonor. There one sentiment, particularly, which | recur, alwa: wite a feeling’ of approbation and gratitude.

There is no doubt that the death of an individual, who has been so much the favorite of his country, and partaked so largely of its regard as to fill that high office, always produces—has produced hitherto a strong impression upon the public mind. ‘That is right. It f right that such should be the impression upon the whole commu- nity, embracing those who particularly approved and those who did not particularly approve the political course of the deceased. All these distinguished men have been the chosen of their country. They have ful- filled their station and duties upon the whole, in the se- ries that have gone before us, ina manner reputable and distinguished. Under their administration, in the course of fifty or sixty years, the government, generally speak- ing, has prospered, and under the government the people have prospered. it becomes, then, all to pay respect when men thus honored are called to another world. Mr. President, we may well indulge the hope and belief that it was the feeling ,of the distinguished person who is the subject of these resolutic in the solemn pore and hours of closing life—that it his wish that if he had committed few or more errors in the adminis- tration of the government, their influence might cease with him; and that whatever of good he had done, might be perpetuated. . Let us cherish the same sentiment. Let us act upon the same feeling; and whatever of true honor and glory he acquired, let us all hope that it will be his inheritance for ever! And whatever of good ¢: ample, or good principle, or good administration, he hi established, let us hope that the benefit of it may also perpetual. ir. Wenster then resumed his seat amid general but subdued expressions of applause. ‘Tho Pxssipext then put tl apparent surprise of the assemblage, a gentleman in the crowd, near the door, and whose name we learned was INDEN, rose and said. 1 don’t see why such a Society as this should be called on to put forth resolutions commendatory of the life and character of General Jackson. | (Murmura of disappro- bation. i ‘whose that?” Hon. Mr. Bokee— “Pooh! it’s only'a Yankee lawyer!”—a laugh.) It is true he was Presideut of the United States, and a major- general in the army—but what has that to do with this Le eae fee historical literature. 1 don't agree at ell with many of the opinions put forth in the address of the gentleman who seconded the resolutions. 1 cannot sanction the resolutions them- selves, (Applause and hisses.) I say, I cannot approve of those resolutions, and I will oppose them, though 1 stand alone. For thirty years I have sincerely and fer- vently opposed General Jachson, and I cannot consent, now, because he is dead, to approve of his conduct..— General Jackson certainly never contributed anything to the Historical Society, nor to anges that I know of. He was not a literary man. ‘hy, then, should a literary society be called on to pass such resolutions ? Again, did he exhibit the pure motives and self-sacrific- ing devotion of the first President? No, I don’t believe he did. Why then pay him this mark of honor? Truth should come from societies like this, (Applause and is On his accession to office, General Jackson put in because he had been a defaulter resolutions, when, to the y under the previous adi istration; and he said he would keep him there till the money was |, or hum- bled himself before him. ‘his led me to expect that he would carry out thia stern administration of jus tice. But did he do it! No. There was more defaulting un der Jackson than there was under all the Presidents; but because the defaulters had voted for him, he let them es- cape. Again, he gave the lie to John Quincy Adams about his approbation of the Florida treaty; and even when his own letter was produced in evidence, he still swore it was all a lic. Well may they callhim “the man of the iron will;” for he was determined to make it the sole arbiter of truth and falsehood. (Laughter, ap- plause, hisses andconfusion.) But he has gone to a land where neither his will nor the beh of his party will determine what is right and wrong. (Applause; hisses and confusion, in the midst of which the Hon. Mr. Bokee, and the great body of the members of the Court of Errors, who had been invited to pe prenent. rose and left the room.) I hope he has repented of hi nd gone to a better state of existence. (Loud hisses. e ought to recollect that we are not first in this business—the Em- pire Club have gone before us. I don’t want to make myself notorious—(shouts of laughter)—but when asa member of this society I was called on as a literary society—(a laugh)—to approve of the conduct and cha racter of General Jackson, I have only to say that I approve of neither. (Applause and hisses.) ‘Mr. Cuances Kixo then rose, apparently much ex- cited, and ina very nervous manner said—Mr. President I second — motion—Mr. President, I second the motion. Sir—I—sir— Presipent— What motion ? Mr. Kinc—Why, sir, to lay on the table, sir— Paxsipent—I beg your pardon, sir, but I am not aware of such a motion having been made. (A laugh.)

(Great laughter.) That’s all, sir. [Here Mr. Kingjsat down, apparently much relieved, and in quite a gratitying state of comparative com} ir. Wemone: then briefly, and in a very calm nified manner, stated the motives which hed influ the Committee of the Society in presenting the resolu- tions—resolutions in which he was confident the d liberate judgment of every right thinking member of the society could not possibly detect any of- fensive or improperexpression. The President of the Society could state the unwillingness with which he, (Mr. Wetmore) had undertaken the aut of submitting those resolutions, but it wasa responsibility which he now gladly assumed. Mr. Jorn MeKrow deeply regretted that the meeting had assumed a political character. He hoped that those gentlemen present, who are not members, would see the propriety of refraining from taking part in the vate, as it appeared to be the wish of some to make the question a test of the political opinions of the society. Mr. Burier reminded the Society that on the death of Harrison similar resolutions were ‘passed unanimously. He begged that they might be read by the Secretary. ‘The resolutions were accordingly read, and were al- most identical in sentiment and expression with those offered by Mr. Wetmore. The resolutions were then put ond carried; Messrs. Fessenden, King, and another, only voting in the nega- tive. A committee, consisting of General ‘Tallmadge, Hon. ‘Theodore Frelinghuysen, and Messrs. Davis and Butler, was then appointed to co-operate with the Common Council and other public bodies in the arrangements for the funeral obsequies on Tuesday next. Further from Mexico. By the arrival of the Mexican schooner Juaquina, from Tampico, the New Orleans Picayune of the 1th inst., has dates from that city up to the Ist inst. ‘The J. brought no papers, at least none that we could obtain. We learn that all of Santa Anno’s ministers, in- cluding Canalizo, would be banished for six years from the country. ‘According to all we can gather, there was but little excitement or little talk of war when the J. left Tampi- co, All was quiet there, on the contrary, and there were but few troops inthe neighborhood. At Matamoras it is said that the soldiers have received little or no pay for months, and are obliged to work in the fields for subsis- were up at Tampico for this port on tho Ist here any likelihood of our receiving further from that port for some time to come. ‘n that a commercial house in this city received y letter which announces that Santa Anna has been condemned to leave Mexico forever, and that he would leave Vera Cruz for England in the packet of the Ist of June. % has been proposed in Congress to adopt a new tariff, which was expected soon to be published as the law of the land. The design was to fix the rates of import be- tween those now in force and the rates of 1842. The Mexican Government was in hopes of settling the ‘Texas question amicably. The belief was current in the capital that Texas would agree to the terms of recogni- tion proposed. ” On the 22d ult, a conducta arrived at Tat pee with $1,400,000, nearly the whole of which was shipped in the British West India mail line steamer Medway. Business was dull in Tampico, owing to the absence of British goods in the or Mons. Pageot, French Minister, near our govern ment, publicly denies that France designs to interfere hetween Mexico and the United States, jnany way, on the subject gt annexation. i § Nreto's Ganpex.—The Acrobat Family again to- night.—The pictures and living pyramids formed by the groupings of this talented quartet, offer a perfeci study to our young artists, as well as afi exhibition of a most delightful character to the general specta- tor. Each night’s performance is diversified by new and most extraordinary feats. Mr. Roberts again appeats in the petite comedy of “One Hour.” A gteat improvement is perceptible this season in the refreshment saloon. The Grand orchestra plays during the hialf hour intermission, all the modem popular gallops, mazurkas, &c. &c, Chippendale and Miss Taylor appear to-night in;‘‘a Roland for an Oliver,” which is played to introduce Mr. Roberts in the part of Sir Alfred Highflyer. Paumo’s Ortna Hovse.—The performances at this house by the burlesque opera troupe, are attended nightly by large audiences, and the performances give the highest satisfaction. The company is well organized, and really their manner of executing the original music of the operas that they burlesque, is very clever and correct. Vauxuaut Garvin.—The songs and dances that are nightly given at this neat little place of amuse- ment, are highly creditable to the management of Mr. De laRee. The garden is well patronized, and to-night Mr. H. J. Hamilton takes a benefit. Tue Boarp or Epucation.—A small noise is made in some quarters about the election of a ‘“na- tive” President of the Board of Education. But this isa matter which “ nativism,” as we have heretofore known it, had nothing to do. The election of Mr. Johnson was the result of a movement of the practi- cal good sense of the majority of the Board, which seeks to prevent unnecessary expenditure, by building school houses where they are not need- ed, and alse to prevent the exclusion of the Bible, whether Protestant or Catholic, from the schools. “Nativism,” as it now exists in this Board, is widely different, indeed, from that foul spirit of bigotry and proscription which burned the temples of the Most High in Philadelphia. Mr. Bleecker, for instance, who represents the Fifth Ward, is ranked amongst the “native” members— and he isa “native,” and his ancestors for genera. tions back were “natives,” but he is not a bigot: not a narrow-minded sectary, but a man of practica’ good sense and liberal sentiments. We should be very glad to see plenty more of such “nativism.” Wuat’s i THE Winp }—About two day’s since, the revenue cutter Spencer, lying at this port, receiv- ed orders to fit out instantly for a cruise. The or ders, instead of being sent through the Collector of the Port, as customary, were written by the Secre- tary himself, and contained a sealed letter of direc- tion, not to be opencd until the vessel arrives outside of Sandy Hook. ‘The last two days has been occupied in getting in guns, shot, ammunition, and provisions. Her destination is a matter of speculation, entirely unknown to the officers on board. A new com- mander, Capt. Bince, who had been wounded in the navalservice, during last war, has just joined her. Whether she is ordered to join the fleet in the Gulf, or bears despatches in the same quarter, or what- ever be the purpose of her sudden cruise, she will under the command of so able an officer, be apt to give a good account of herself. The Spencer, ouT readers may know, is pierced for 18 guns, and car- ries a long Tom amidships. Morwon Arrains.—By the Warsaw Signal of the 4th instant, it appears that the Mormon affairs are, as usual, mixed up in the most.nterminable difficul- ties, and that much excitement and angry feeling had been expended on both sides. The editor had just been acquitted on a trial for participation in the murder of Joe Smith ; and, aecording to hisaccount, the most unblushing perjury had been resorted to by the Mormons to convicthim, but in vain. Robberies of the Gentile merchants, as they are called in Nau- yoo, were of every day occurrence, and those who refused to join the Mormon bands, were grossly abused and beaten. Among the Saints themselves, the grotsest crimes are represented as being of daily occurrence, and all legal proceedings appear to be stopped in their city..

A visit to any of the larger marl morning, is a most interesting scene ; of faces and the perfect Babel of tongu: sing. The young wife first assuming the duties of house- keeping, is easily distinguished from the eager bargain- driving boarding house keeper, who screws down her borhee tothe, fett penny, till the worthy slaughterer is absolutely frightened into compliance with her offers. The caterer for our large hotels, sweeps by trith his at- tendants, and gives and receives the morning salutation from the admiring butchers, with a lordly nonchalant air that inspires awe in the minds of the countrymen who have come to superintend the sale of their produce. But on Saturday nights another scene is to be observed. On this evening, the markets are kept open till a late hour forthe accommodation of the working people, who then purchase their Sunday dinners. The worthy me- chi with his wife on his arm, now is the customer; and with his week’s wages in his pocket, feels as if he can with prud venture on an additional delicacy for his Sunday meal ; and though the price he ‘sis equal perhaps to that glven by the best hous per in the city, stillgthere is rarely so much chaffering about it. Many lessons in human nature might be learned amid the crowd of marketers, and the believers in the theori¢ of Spurzheim, would have ample material for testing their truth. There are many meat and vegetable shops in all parts of the city that supply the place of markets to those who do not live in the vicinity of one. Regard- ing the jitice ‘of charging butchers premium and rent for’ stalls in markets, and then allowing unlicensed shops to interfere with their business, a question ralgh be raised ; but as impartial journalists, we say nothing on either side.

Rowprism.—Two young men, on Wednesday night, between eleven and twelve o’clock, insisted on being admitted into an Amity street omnibus, that already con- tained its compliment of passengers, among whom were several ladies, and were exceedingly outrageous on be- ing informed that there was no room. They followed the omnibus, and on the passengers alighting, attacked them in a most ferocious manner, and chasing those who fled. No watchman could be found to aid them, and we trust Justice Matsell, in his new capacity, will remedy such omissions of duty on the part of the police.

For the purpose of giving a correct statement of the iron trade, under the changes in the tariff laws of the United States, we have givenatable showing the importation for one year, at the close of the compromise act, compared with the importation for one year since the passage of the exist- ing tariff act. The increase in the mining and manufacture of iron in the United States, within the past year or two, has been very great, and can be attributed principally to two things—the increase in the duty upon that of a foreign manufacture, and a general improvement in the industry of the country, Improvements have been introduced in- to the manufacture, and the increase in the number of furnaces erected has given additional impetus to mining, and created a competition in the mining and manufactur~ ing which must prove very advantageous and beneficial to the consumers. The increase in the manufacture of iron in the rough state, has not been more rapid than the increase in the manufacture of all the necessary articl required in the various mechanical business of the country. By the above table, it will be seen that the importation of nails, spikes, cables, chains, anchors, castings, sheet and ovpivon, and many other manutac- tares, in 1844, was much smaller than in 1841; while the demand for these articles must have increased enormous. ly, which has been supplied by similar articles of a do” mestic manufacture. The demand for iron must be an- nually increasing; and if our tables of importsticns show that the supplies from foreign countries are rapidly fall- ing off, it follows that we must be supplied from internal sources. The vast amount of capital that has within a year or two past been employed in building up furnaces and manufactories in every section of the country, is the best evidence in the world that a few years will suf, fice to enable us to not only supply ourselves with any quantity and with every article of this manufacture, but also any external demand that may arise. Atpresent, the most extensive iron mines and manufactories are worked in Pennsylvania, and that State is without doubt the great iron region of the United States. Its iron mines lay side by side with the coal mines, giving the mant facturers every facility in the world for the performance of the lebor necessary, Now York, Now Jersey and =
