NEW YORK HERALD. lll New York, Thursday, June 26, 1845, Weekly Herald, Our weekly edition will be one of the most inter- esting numbers that we have published for some ume. J Besides the news of the week, it will contain a full and most graphic account of the Grand Proces- sion in memory of the late General Jackson, with a perfect description of all the dignitaries, military, societies, banners, route, incidents, &c., the whole illustrated by a series of spirited engravings, and in addition to those already given in our daily, there will be several new ones; also a view of the Hermit aze, the late residence of the deceased. In addition to the engravings of the Procession, it will also contain a spirited scene from the French Opera of “La Favorite,” now performing at the Park. It will be ready for delivery at our publication of- fice on Saturday morning at 9 o’clock. General Jackson—His Public Career as a Statesman, The funeral honors have been rendered to the il- lustrious dead, and Jackson exists now only in the history of his country, His career—his character, conduct, and principles, wtll now be scrutinized by the historian, the philosopher, and politician, as in the case of any other departed hero or statesman. With regard to the military career of Andrew Jackson, there 1s, we believe, but one opinion in the minds of all, not only in this Republic, but to the very utmost limits of the civilized world. There is one portion of his eareer, however, which will be the subject of great discussion, both now and here- after for years to come. We allude to his career as President, and the wisdsm or folly of those measures, with which his administration and name are identified. In this point of view, there are se- veral measures of great importance, which stand prominent in the history of Jackson. We may enumerate amongst them, the French indemvity question—United States Bank—South Carolina nul- | ifi vals from, and appointments to of- ibution of surplus revenue—and his policy on canals and railroads. Few will un- dertake to censure in any degree, the policy which he pursued in refereuce to the French indemnity question, or nullification movements and doctrines in South Carolina. The opposition to Jackson on the United States Bank question is dwindling and dying away every day, particularly in consequence of the growing be- lief that such an institution,and all such institutions in this conntry uvust lead, from the very nature of thei political and social systems, to great public and_pri- vate frauds upon the community at large. There is no element of integrity in the institutions of bank- ing in this country, either in theory or practice. On the views entertained by Jackson with respect to the tariff—distribution—canals and railroads— there may be some diversity of opinion, but it can- not amount to much. As to removals and appoint- ments, we believe that General Jackson may have been somewhat imposed upon, and that to this may be ascribed the proscriptive character of some of his movements in that respect. At all events, the state of the times seems to furnish the best apology, and indeed the only apology for many of those re- movals and appointments. The principle of remo- ving political opponents for mere opinion’s sake had prevailed to a greater or less extent through many previous administrations, but we believe it was car- tied to a greater extent under Jackson than at any other period. During the brief administration of Harrison, indeed, this system of proscrip tion went beyond all bounds. All rationay men disapprove of such a principle, as the removal] of competent and faithful public servants, for mere political opinion’s sake, and if Ge- neral Jackson was culpable in that respect, he has been culpable with the whole frame of seciety, growing out of the bitterness of our political con tests, aggravated by the conflicts for pecuniary pri- vileges, resulting in the existence of the banking system. All these points will be discussed hereafter, with greater or less spirit and feeling, and will probably form the prominent topics of Fourth of July orations on the approaching celebration of the anniversary of the National Independence. Ovr Rexations wir Mexico.—Our relations with this republic are becoming more and more cloudy, and more and more contradictory as to the future. Even the government organ at Washington —the Union newspaper—appears to be in as much doubt as any other journal throughout the country, with respect to what will grow out of the annexa- tion of Texas. Some think that war will be declared by Mexico, and many apprehend that in the event of such a conflict, Great Britam and France may be brought into the field. Such opinions are attributed by some of the New Orleans papers to Mr. Elliotts the British charge in Texas; whilst on the other hand, we see it stated with great confidence, on the authority of Mr. Pakenham, the British minister at Washington, that Mexico is desirous of renewing diplomatic intercourse with the United States, and that the probability is that a new minister from this country would be received without any difficulty. — It would appear, therefore, that the British ministers in Texas and in the United States are very seriously at issue in their opinions on the relations of the two countries. There can be no doubt in the mind of any person of ordinary intelligence, that Texas is determined on annexation whatever may be the consequences of thatact. The election of delegates to the Conven- tion in that republic has taken place, and the result may be expected every day—a result no doubt ove- whelmingly in favor of immediate annexation. The Convention itself will meet on the 4th of July next, when the whole matter will be completed, so as to en able the new State of Texas to come into the Union with its representatives in Congress next December. A few weeks, therefore, will now determine what course Mexico is going to take on this subject, and ina short time efter that the question of European interference will also be decided. In the mean time, every thing is in confusion in regard to the future relations of the two countries. Revrew or THe Troops at THE BaTrrry pny Governor Marcy.—The First Division of New York State Artillery, under command of Major Ge- neral Sandford, will be reviewed by the Secretary of War, this morning, at nine o’clock, on the Batte- ry. After the review, the honors of a marching salute will be received by His Honor the Mayor, the Corporation and the Court of Errors, upon the Bat- tery. The division line will be formed by Col. Wet more, at 9 o’clock precisely. After the parade the troops will immediately dismiss, and the officers, accompanied by the public bodies above mentioned proceed with the Hon. Secretary to Castle Garden, where the U. S. steamer Fulton, under command of Captain Hudson, will receive them and proceed to Throggs’ Neck, at which place the United States fortifications will be inspected by the Secretary— from thence to Governor’s Island—to Forts Hamil- ton and Lafayette, and the public works at Staten Island. The Secretary seems determined to place his eye upon our public defences. The time is well chosen—the country will commend hirn for his vi- gilance Granp Mititary Review ar Fort Hamiirox —The Secretary of War, Secretary of Navy, Go vernor and Lieutenant Governor visit this spot to day for the above purpose. The steamboat Hamil ton will make her usual trip at 10 o’clock in the morning, and return at 5 o’clock and7 o'clock in the evening—thns atfording a good Opportunity tv thowe who are desirous of being present. Poxk’s ments are thickening around usin every direction, tending to produce the idea, that a very serious op- posttoa is generating against Mr. Polk’s adminis- ‘ration within the bosom of his own party. We have already seen the Southern section of the de tocrucy, whose Magnus Apollo is John C. Calhoun, stand aloof from all connexion with Mr. Polk’s ad- ministration, refusing even some of the highest offi- cesoflered to them, such as the English mission On the other hand, great dissatisfaction has been produced amongst the -Northern section, or the Wright-Van Buren democracy, on account of some appointments made, as well as appointments not made. There can be no doubt from the information before us that Mr. Van Buren and alj his Northern friends, are gradually assuming a neu- tral position with regard to Mr. Polk, and are de- termined not to commit themselves in favor of his administration for some time to come. There has been great discontent with the appointment of the new Collector amongst this section of the Democra- tic party,although ithas not been so loudly expressed as in the case of the appointment of Louis McLane. The causes of this singular exhibition of discon- tent and opposition from the two sections of the Democracy, toward Mr. Polk, may be found in the nature of the principles on which he assumed the government, and on which he has endeavored to conduct his administration. He commenced his career with the declaration, that he would favor no great clique of the democracy. But in carrying out this principle, he has offended the leading cligues of his party, and given out the idea that he intended to form a particular clique of his own—a Polk clique, to support his administration in his own way. Ifthings go on as they have been proceeding, he will narrow down the democratic party to a mere fragmentary support of his adminis- tration, leaving a vast quantity and wide field of dis- contentin the various cliques that have heretofore soverned the party throughout the country. It is an even question in our mind, whether Mr. Polk’s ad- ministration will be popular—will cement the ele- ments of the democratic party, or terminate as Mr. Tyler’sended. We are very much disposed to think that the grasping cliques of the democracy are going to do a great deal of syustice to Mr. Polk, and that he will require a good deal of assistance before two yearsare over. Let him be fully tried before he is condemned, or wholly approved. Tur Svccession.—Movements for the succession to the empire are in progress in all directions. We see that General Scott is talked of in several jour- nals throughout the country in sucha way as con- nects him with the succession after Mr. Polk. We have no doubt that Mr. Van Buren may be consi- dered as still somewhat in the field of hope and ex- pectation. His recent peregrinations in Long Island and some parts of New England, among his old friends and supporters, as well as his appearance in the procession in honor of Andrew Jackson, indi- cate that he is yet amongst those that hope and oc- cupy the field of action, as fat, as happy, and as ex- pectant as on any former occasion. The policy of Mr. Van Buren is to stand stillashe did efter the defeat of Crawford, and wait for the movements of the waters, ready to take advantage of all events adverse to his competitors. General Scott, we ra- ther think, is more fidgetty, and shows his hand a little too much. The other candidates we shall no- tice, and their movements, as they peke their heads up above the waters of oblivion. Tue Aprroacninc Episcorpat Convenrion.— Next month the Convention of the Episcopal church will meet in this city for the purpose of considering the condition of the Episcopate, and settling the important question whether a church can exist with outa Bishop. There is a great deal of interest felt in this matter, in consequence of the peculiar posi- tion in which the Bishop has been placed by the re- sult of the recent trial in this city. The party at- tached to the Bishop consider that he is in reality de jure et de facto Bishop, and the probability is that he will in, thefapproaching Convention,undertake to preside in that body in that capacity. This will, of course, produce a great deal of irritation on the op- posite side, and much general excitement will be produced. Some are almost declaring in advance that they will vacate their seats, and back out from the Convention altogether, if the Bishop attempt to preside. Now, in relation to this point, the Bishop, since the trial, has been very penitent, and has pro- bably received forgiveness for all his sins. He may now, indeed—we would, in the judgment of cha- rity believe—be considered quite a reformed man. In this view, therefore, of his qualifications, he is now in a much better frame of mind to preside over the Convention than for many ,years before, when he was covered with his sins, although his delin- quencies were known only in the private circle of the Episcopal clergy. The meeting of this Conven- tion, at all events, will be quite an event 1m the reli- gious history of this State. Curious Exuisrtion.—Moven or New Haven. —There has just been quite an extraordinary piece of work completed at New Haven, which we think will prove to the highest degree interest- ing to citizens generally, and we understand that the proprietors intend shortly exhibiting it here in this city. It is a complete model of the city of New Haven, in carved wood, representing every object in an area of territory 2 by 24 miles, including streets, lanes, public buildings, houses, outbuildings, trees, wharves, shipping, steamboats. &e. &c. This model has been in course of progress for more than a year, and no expense has been spared to render it a splendid piece of mechanism; more than thirty individuals have been employed in its construction, among whom are some of the most distinguished artists of that city and New York. The Governor of the State, the Mayor of New Haven, and more than twenty of the most distinguished citizens of that town, have given flattering testimonials in favor of the beauty and accuracy of the representa- tion. From the various notices of the press—from those who have had a private view of this extraor- dinary piece of ingenuity, we are led to believe that the exhibition, when opened in this city, cannot fail to draw crowds to witness it. Frencu Orgras.—We understand the French Company have changed their nights of Vaudeville, and that they will play every Thursday night in this kind of performance instead of Saturday. The per- formance of to-night is composed of two excelleni Vaudevilles, Diew vous bénisse and Le Vicomte d L’ Etorierer; nothing more laughable than those two plays, one of which is well khown by all the ama teurs of puns and comic positions. Madame Ste phen Ceeuriot performs this evening, and the house will be well attended, of course. There is one feature in these French plays that ought not to be forgotten, which is, that apart’ from the music, much useful knowledge and advancemen; in the French language 1s to be obtained by attend- ing them. To facilitate the affair to those who are but partially acquainted with the French, librettos of the words of the various Operas that have been performed, have been published with literal trans- lations into English, made by W. B. H. Revoil, Professor of Literature and the French language. This gentleman has been highly successful in giving the exact spirit of the French, without loosing any of the grace and finesse, if we may so call it, of the French playwright. The dialogue abounds with choice language, and every person who visits the opera, should purchase a copy and preserve it as an auxiliary to his French grammar and dictionary Mr. Demester.—We learn this favorite vocalist is about to start for Canada, where his Scotch min- strelsy is sure of a thorough appreciation, a large and influential portion of the urban population being Scotch, in that province. Mr. Dempster was listen- “dto here, repeatedly, with much pleasure, by lorge assemblies. ‘On reference te our advertising, olumms, it will be seen that a reward of $100 is of for the secovery of « stolen puree, fing Caance Preven Orera.—Afier “Guillaume Tell,” which, owing to the difficulty of the music and some other untoward circumstances, failed to command that suecess which it would have deserved, Donizet- t's Favorite was brought out for the first time in the city, by the French company ; and we are happy to say, that they took with it une éeclatante revanche. To a libretto abounding in htigly dramat- ical incidents, clothed in a language of much poeti- cal beauty, the author of Lucia has written a mu- sic in which he frequently raised himself above the common level of hackneyed [talianism; and there are several numbers in it which will more contribute to the composer’s fame, than forty of his opere sorie and buffe. In imitation of Rossini and Meyerbeer, Donizetti tried to blend the style of two different schools; but he did not succeed so well as his pro- totypes, although the attempt cannot properly be called a failure, and of which the favorable reception this onera has everywhere met, is a sufficient guaran- tee. ‘The principal defect is want of unity ; an Italian air precedesa French chorus, and a French romance follows an Italian duet. But on the whole, the melo- dies ere very happily formed, and the instrumenta- tion is generally judicious, with the exception of a too eoquact use’ of the pic in the stretti, which decidedly is of very bad taste. Besides, the whole of the third act, the finale of the fourth, and one or two romances, the choruses are the best pieces: they were performed in a highly creditable manner, that reflects much credit on Mr Prevost; that of the third act was even most vociferously encored. Mlle. Calvé acquitted herself to admiration; we enter- tained some fears lest her physical powers should not be equal to the great task, but we were most agreeably disappeinted. There was no trace of Catarina: she entirely was Leonora ; not the Leo- nora of Mr. Fry, but the Leonora of Donizetti. Ar- naud firmly walks into the favor of the public. La- boring under several natural defects, he overcomes them with a skill highly creditable to his mu- sical understanding. He has one fault whieh we should advise him to correct; this is the immode- rate use of the falsetto, which he does not connect very well with his chest voice. His exertions were crowned with hearty applause. (Garry did not suc- ceed in his first air; it 18 too Italian for 3 but the rest of his long and difficult role was extremely well sung, and yet there is a too frequent aud abrupt change from the piano to the forte in his style. Do- nore, Coeuriot und his wi‘e had the minor parts, which did not afford them much opportunity for dis- play. The opera wes brought to a close amidst loud and protracted applause. Castte Garpex.—The entertainments at this place of amusement are of the first class, and the number of visitors that nightly assemble there is a proof of the appreciation of the public. On Tuesday evening last, Professor Whitney delivered a most excellent Oration on the Life of General Jazkson, to a numerous audience. Last night, the Living Statues by Mr. Parsloe, dancing by Miss Desjardins, Miss Cohen and Masters Wood, with the various beauti- ful Overtures by the Orchestra, formed a most de- lightful evening’s entertainment. This morning there is to be review on the Battery, of General Sandford’s Division, at 105 A. M., by the Secretary of War. The view from the balcony of the Garden of the whole proceedings, will be splendid. In the evening a fine bill, including a most laughable Ballet W@ Action will be presented. Nrsto’s Garpen.—Mr. Roperts anv THE ACROBAT Famity.—A new piece called the ¢Trumpeter’s Daughter” is to be played for the purpose of intro- ducing Mr. Roberts in the principal character, as acted by him in London. The Acrobat Family again are to astonish the public by their admirable feats of strength, agility and grace. This surprising troupe still attract crowded saloons, without any prospect of immediate diminution. The popular farce of ‘Mr. and Mrs. White” is to be repeated, in which Mr. T. Placide and Miss Taylor act to ad- miration. Kenpaui’s Bosron Brass Banp.—This celebra- ted company of musicians give a Concert this even- ing at the Tabernacle. On the following day they proceed to Philadelphia, where they are engaged by Mr. Dumbolton to give a concert on Saturday even- ing. Bowery Tueatre.—Another flare-up, night be- fore last, at the Bowery, under the administration of Messrs. Champlin & Sutton. $15 in the house ; ex- penses $48. Actors struck—gut their money ; man- agers got mad—discharged the whole—shut upshop; and Dinneford, the great unfortunate, (as usual,) lost his chance for a benefit. Great times these, among the strolling theatres and strolling managers. Patmo’s Orera Hovse.—The attendance last night was as usual numerous and respectably attend- ed. The boxes and front tiers had, if any thing, a reater display of female beauty and attraction than any former night. The performance went of{ with great éclat, and the “ burlesque” Polka, was ca- pital. There is a great Bill of attraction offered for this evening, “ entitled Som-Am-Bull-Ole ! !” taken from the favorite Opera of Somnambula, with all the original music taken trom that Opera. Vauxuatt Garpen.—The performance at this place of amusement went off well last evening to a crowded and delighted audience. We understand that the renowned banjo player, ‘Billy, Whitlock,” who has been recently engaged, will give some of his best pieces. Narrow Escare.—On Tuesday evening last, a gentleman, from this bity, went out to fish off Fire Island Lighthouse, on the coast of Long Island, ina large boat, and in excellent weather. The anchor slipped,however,when the boat was sailing six knots with the wind on the quarter, and the result was a sudden capsize. Fortunately there was not water enough to completely engulph her, and one gunwale stood above the water. The owner, and the person already mentioned, went down, but made a struggle to seize the boom and get astride the mast, where they remained until rescued by another boat. This ought to suggest caution to persons going a boating; in this case two lives were nearly lost by forgetting to secure the anchor properly on the bows of the boat. “One Day Later rrom Lonpon.”—Under this head the Boston Advertiser of yesterday copies from the London Herald of the 4th,inst., one month’s later intelligence from India. If the Advertiser will look into the New York Herald of last Saturday, they will find the same India news, which we exclusively published on that day. Tue Mau. ny rae Last Sreamer.—Three or four parcels of English papers reached us yesterday which ought to have been received early last Saturday. It appears by an endorsement on the envelopes, that the fault was with some one on board the steamer. Mats ror Evrore.—The Caledonia will leave for Boston next Tuesday. Her letters bags will, therefore, close in this city on Monday. AreivaL or Emteranrs —In the last forty-eight hours, upwards uf three thousand steerage passen- gers have arrived at this port. OG Ex-Governor Marcy, Secretary of War, will arrive atthe American Hotel, this day, preparatory to his tour of survey of fortifications in the United States steam frigate Fulton. {cj His Excellency Mons. Caldeson de la Barea, Spanish Minister to the United States, has arrived at the Globe Hotel; as also the Prince De Solms, late from New Orleans. §g- His Excellency, the Hon. Silas Wright, lef; the City Hotel yesterday morning for Albany, Boarp or Epucation.—This Board wiil meet again this evening at 5 o’clock, Accent at THe Futon Ferry.—Last evening, at about half past 7 o’clock, a most shocking acci- dent occurred at the Fulton Ferry. As the Ferry boat Union touched the wharf, and rebounded as usual, a Mr. Shepard, with a basket cradle, and a large basket in his arms, attempted fo step on shore, but unfortunately put his foot between the whurf an the boat, which immediately struck him, jamming his foot, and crushing the bones in a dreadful man- ner. The boat was immediately backed, and Mr. Shepard removed to the Coffee House of Mr Charles MeNiel, South street, where every assis- tance was rendered him. He was finally carried to the Hospital, where anamputation was performed bi Dr. Hoffman. Mr. Shepard resides, we understand, at 87 Walker street. Convention at Derrorr.-This body met as above on the 19th inst. The Rev. Dr. Duflield, of Detroit, President. The Rev. T. Stillman, of the State of New York, one of the Secrotaries. No business o public interest was entered upon during the first day's sitting Sporting Intelligence. Trorrinc Matcues over rie CENTREVILLE Course, yesterpay.—There was a highly respecta- ble, though not very numerous, assemblage yester. Jay at the above Course. The grand feature of the sport was a match for $500, two mile heats, in skele” ton wagons, between Mr, Bevan’s sor. h. Henry Clay and Col. Bertine’s bk. m. Misfortune. In the first keat the sorrel had it all his own way— Misfortune made three bad breaks. The former 1. econd heat the sorrel Jed the way by about a length, which he maintained the whole of the heat. Misfortune appeared for the first time to make her character in unison with her name; she broke al- most ut every quarter, and the sorrel came in as he pleased, in 5:47, winning the stakes. 0 Tt was evident to that the bk. m. was not in proper condition for such an opponent. She was very thin, indeed—we never saw her more so ;_ be- sides having shown strong aroma the previous two days of being more inclined for a very different sort of sport. There was another match for $20, between— Mr. McBride’s bk. h. Trueman.........1 I Mr. Felix’s gr. m. Queen... . . oats Time, 8m—2:59. Tue Great Tex Mixx Foorrace over rue Bea- con Course, Honoxen, on Jury 5.—The following are the entries for this great match, closed last even- ing, which penne to equal, if not surpass, any thing of the kind that has ever taken place in this count'y i— Wn». Jackson, the American Deer, recently from Eng- land; John Gildersleve, New York ; Maj. Hy. Stannard, Connecticut ; John Steeprock, the Indian ‘Chief, from Tonav anda; Edward Cheaney, Boston; R. M. Hull, Bos- ton ; © Desmond, Boston; James Whelan, Rhode Island; Wm, *inkney, Ignace Katanchiate, of the Iroquois tribe co! Indians, from Canada. These names alone are sufficient to guarantee such :-port as has nave yer been seen in this country. Tt may be seen by the advertisement that the spirited proprietor has extended the time for the entries for the Ii urdle Race and Foot Race to come oft on the 3d of July, They close finally on Saturday next. The other races on the 30th inst. will doubtless prove as attractive and as interesting. Trorrinc Marcu over Tue Cammnmer Coursk, Bosron.—Some very fine trotting eame off at this course on Monday afternoon. Black Maria, rode b: Geo. Edwards, and Washington, rode by Hiram Wood- ruff, entered the lists for a purse of $200—t! in five. Four heats were run—Black M three and Washington one. The time was the said, ever made over this course. It was as follows: 31 Nationat Revorm Socrety,—A meeting of this society took place last evening atthe ‘Croton Hall.” The ineeting was notified to take place at eight, but did not until near nine o’clock, and then it was really a very scanty affair, having in the first in- stance, only half a dozen ragged boys, whocf course came there to represent the “Great National Re- form.” _ Several ladies in the interim came in, ima- gining it was to have been a temperance meeting, but shortly after, the then only source of attraction made their exit, having learned their mistake, and for nearly half an hour the room was almost deso- late. In the meantime, the band belonging to the society made their appearance, which enlivened the scene a little, who played several airs with great taste, when shortly afterwards some of the mem- bers appeared, and business was put in train. Mr. Pearson having elevated himself to the chair, and having announced the meeting to be purely na- tional, requested that all persons whdse_ inclination directed them to nationality would step forward and sign the pledge-book, which was then open not only for the names of members, but subscription; when Fee declining to respond, the Chair tis seat, ard a loud call wasthen given ic to come forward. Mr. Bovey, having placed himself « » Chair- man’s desk, made aw and brief rem vith re- gard to the Society, and quite in uni vith his predecessor ; after which, he stated that thy liad as- sembled there that evening to speak and express their opinions as regarded the objects of the Society, but would not dwell on the subject, as he wished to call the attention of all present to a circumstance which deeply concerned the Society, as wellas many others. He then adverted to the Oregon question, and stated with regard to the two powers, (meaning England and France,) that they had just as good a right toa slice of the moon as to the territory of Oregon or California—that it was preposterous in the extreme—that it was well known to all persons that man had been driven by propulsion from social happiness. Many governments pretend to say that the earth is personal property, the air and the ele- ments of life. Earth is almost belted with iron, and horses of steel and iron are traversing the whole globe. But man, at this enlightened age, hays made great progress; he can now look upon his labors with pleasure, and the main question is, whether man is to go on in this state ef thraldom or not. It is not right that the few should monopolize the rights of the many. It is true that the English Govern. ment, at some time or another, passed in sight of the Rocky Mountains, and threw their eye on the disputed territory, and perhaps one of them may have placed his foot on some part thereof, and con- sequently assumed a title forthwith. Does this make their case a bit more favorable? No! we being the free born freemen of this country have an exclusive right to the terri- tory. Mr. B. continued in the same strain at some length; bus before he concluded, begged leave to advert tor a few moments to another subject, which not Coy sa pee them as freemen, but the commu- nity, which was, with regard to somelof the ** New York Press,” and he intended, before he would sit down, to name one individual and his vile paper, which 1 full of corruption in every sense of the word. [cannot avoid mentioning this to be the fact, for I well know it to be true ; the paper I allude to is the Sun, and its proprietor, or editor, or what- ever he may be, (a great burst of applause, mingled with groans.) Here is a press which comes to you and states they are the friend of the laboring men, and such like; a paper that is solely supported by stitchers, milliners, servants, clerks and laborers, and mechanics of all kinds, and others secking employment, but which all the while, con. tinues to deprive people of their rights; yes, it is connected with some of the books which will be very soon broken; it is a vile paper, with a wicked,| designing man, at its head and tail Did any one ever see any thing connected withit to forward the views of thissocicty? No! Certainly not. i despise the man—I hate the journal; | would not have such a villanous production near my house or office. I abominate it. Here Mr. B. called on all present, and every one connected with the society,to shunthe man, and treat the journal with the utmost contempt. Mr. Bovey resumed his seat amidst thunders of applause, when other busi- ness was briefly entered into, and the meeting ad- journed. Tur Lone Isiansp Farmers.—No meeting took place of the suflerers by the fires on Long Island, on Tuesday, as was given out. Our reporter went down there, and lcarned that about three weeks ago, there was a meeting held at Deer Park, at which pretty strong language was used against the Railroad company, but nothing definite done. There was a rumor afloat that there was an assem- bly on Friday, at Manor Station, for the purpose of resolving on a course of action. The prevalent feeling is, either to recover full damages from the Railroad Company, or take a full equivalent of re- venge. Threats have been made quite publicly, that the rails will be torn up, and that in broad dw light, their feeling being, that it would be no discre- dit to chastise injustice like that of the Railroad Company, in causing destruction to sels ORE? and relusing compensation for its loss. There 18 4 cnrious mystery observed by both parties on the subject ; neither of them pretend to know how the case stands. A single word cannot be got out of the farmers about their movements, and it is ver probable there is mischief brewing ; aguin, speal to any of the employers on the line, and they affect to hardly have even heard of the fires in the woods, or the flamesof wrath among the sufferers, It is a knotty question altogether, and the sooner it is re- slated the better. Annexation Fixaii.y Comrterep.—The commis- sioners selected by the Government of Coney Idand and New York, have come to the conclusion, that inasmuch as the Knickerbockers were suffering terribly from the heat and dust of the city, they in their wisdom have seen fit to alleviate the same by establishing a ferry to Coney Island, to commence on the Ist of July, making four to eight Wipe, Pst day. Inthe mean time the boat will run to Fort Hamilton, and those who are disposed to enjoy the fresh air of the bay, can be gratified at the trifling cost of 124 cents. Furthermore, our host of the Hatnilton House, and who will be host of the Pa- villion at Coney Island, Alonzo Reid, will always be ready to give « warm welcome to all who call on him. Doubtless this arrangement may not meet with the sanction of the Governor of Coney Island, inasmuch as he may conceive it an invasion of his dominions, nevertheless, New Yorkers ought and should be gratified with bathing on his shores, and that too at a trifling expense. However, should exception be taken by him, it will be incumbent on the Knickerbockers, in retaliation, to take the inha- bitants of his place, put them in the fire, divest them of their shells and swallow their bodies. Ruope Is.anp.—The General Assembly of Rhode island reassembled at Newport on Monday, but there was no quorum present in branch, mee, y morning, a fire broke the basement story of the Warehouse occupied by ) i. Dolan & Sons, 242 Pearl street ; the damage done was exceedingly trif_ing. I'vemises insured. Street Nuisances.—We would call the attention of the p oper authorities of the different wards in this city, to nuisances which nightly endanger the lives of the comm nity, and more especially in the Third Ward, in the vicinity of Vesey, Washington and Greenwich streets. Heniles of tron, bartels: hogsheads, boxes, and various other impediments are strewn on the side walks, which make them almost impassable. We believe it is the duty of the Street Inspectors who are appointed to the various wards to look after this, and if requisite to bring ‘he of- fender before the proper tribunals; Street Inspectors power vestedin them, and why not use it, at all events, in moderation? As we always make it a rule to study the welfare and inte: of the public at 5 shall leep a look eut for those entrusted with the charg: and should we find them playing the game of drowsiness awaken them to a sense of their public duty. Casvauty.—About 8 o'clock Tuesday morning, a young lad, whose name we did not learn, wns driving a horse and cert along the Third avenue, and when near the cor- ner of 18th street, he was met by a fighi arse man, gaily attire:, which caused the horse to take fright, and he ran away. The boy was thrown from the cart and very se- verely injured. We were informed yesterday noon that he would probably recover. A fight took place on Tuesday between fire companies Nos. 2 and 26, e consequence of one company running their engine into the other, A member of No. 2company had his face severely cut by a speaking trumpet, and it is said that another was stabbed. The fight lasted only a few minutes. Fini:.—A fire broke out about 1 Cepige Tess morning, in the cabinet-maker’s shop of Mr. W. W. Ral- ston, iu the rear of No. 178 Broadway, which sumed. The building was the Property of Mr. Ott, and was situated in the rear of his house. As Alderman Miller, of the First ward, was driving a wagon and pair through Park Place, yesterday, part of the vehicle broke, which caused the horses to become restive, when he was thrown with much force on the pavement, but we are happy to learn he did not receive much damage. Police Office. June 26th—-A Youns Gentiurman on mis Trav- ris.—-Mr. John Donnelly, a young gentleman from Grassy Point, Rockland County, New York, arrived in town last week, on a visit to the wonders and curiosities of Gotham. After visiting Noah’s ‘old clo’ shop” in Chatham street, and purchasing a magnificent suit, consistingof a green coat and metal buttons, and a pair of gaiter pantaloons, he strolled up Broadway, for the urpose of enjoying the cool and delightful evening reeze, and regale his vision with a sight of the fair dam- sels who nightly parade this great thoroughfare. At length he was accosted is Miss Fanny Wilson, who so fascinated and bewitched him with her wild and passion- ate eloquence, and deep burning glances from soft black eyes, that he offered her his arm,and accompanied her to her residence, No. 39 Orange street. After remainin; short time, however, he found, to his peat surprise, tl the lady had robbed him of his pocket-bouk, containin large sum of money. This morning he applied at the Police Office, and a warrant was issued for the arrest of the treacherous damsel. His Last Leos.—Pawninc a Honse.—John Thorp, a flashy, fat individual of the Mr. Puffy order, with a very green coat, buttoned closely to the chin, and an enormous ir of newly imported mustachois, was arrested on the following charge: On the 12th instant he called at the stables of Willard S, Reed,and hired a horse to go to Bulls Ferry with, instead of which, however, he went to Simp- son’s, thepawnbrokers in the Bowery, and pawned the ha for $50. A few days after this, Reed received a letter from Thorp, purporting to come from Poughkeep- sie, stating that he was called there on business and would be back in a few days, when he would bring the horse, which had been left at his farm at Bulls Ferry.— But neither hi nor rider were seen until Thorp was arrested at Riley’s, andthe animal found in a half-starved condition in Simpson’s stable. The horse is not expect- ed to live. Sreatina Ciotuinc.—Henry Arkcoll was arrested, charged with stealing clothing from Alfred Morris, in ‘Washington street. Committed.

Hicuway Ropnery.—Officer Josephs arrested Philip cox, charged with stealing one gold watch, value $60, and $15 in bank bills, from Charles L. Chandler, of Bos- ton, Mass. It appears they went into a bar room in Wa- ter street together; to take something to drink, when Cox proposed going over the other side of the way; when they had crossed the street he asked Chandler to show him his money, and at that moment Chandler re- ceiveda violent blow on the head, which deprived him of all reason; upon recovering, he found hit money gone, and upon Boing into the bar room, another blow was received, which also deprived him of consciousness, and then his watch was taken from him; it was found on Cox, who was committed. Rownisa an AcuTRate.—Job Haskell, formerly one of the special justices, had his pocket picked this morning in a dry goods store in Chatham street, of two $100 bills, and a number of small bills.

June 25.—Danizi. Wenste! e Court met at nine o'clock, a full attendance of bers being present. The Lieutenant Governor called the Court to order, when the roll was called over. The of Lawrence vs. The Mayor and Corporation of the City of New York, was resumed.—This impot suit has been dh increased in- uished jurist and o tor, Daniel Webster, being employed on the part of tl iff, as associate with Mr. Butler, to argue the case, ome up on error, from the Superior and Su- It will be recollected, that in the great st amount of private property ‘con- sumed in this city. The plaintiffs, it appeared, are in- fluential living in Boston, and consigned cer- tain mere! ze to a house in tl » in 1835, which, on direction of the corporation, was blown up in order to check the progress of the devouring element, during the continuance oft memorable fire. They were defent- ed, it appeared, in the courts below, where the corpora- tion put in the plea of justification, haying blown up the premises with powder, which, they allege, was done for the purpose of vexing several millions worth of pro- perty, . It being understood that Mr. Webster was to speak to- day, every nook and avenue, from whence he could be either heard or seen, were crowded to’excess, ,We ob- served in the court room, also, some ladies. The gifted orator sat immediatel opporite the chair of the Liouten- ant Governor, himself being the most remarkable look- ine. man in the entire assemblage who surrounded him. ‘The case having been already, so frequently, before the court, and the merits being so well understood, much of the interest, which otherwise it would have created, was lost. However, Mr. Webster made a very able argu- ment, which was listened to with profound attention. The heat of the day had an evident effect upon the learned speaker, who acquitted himself with his wonted ability. le resumed his remarks at 9 o’clock, contending that the Corporation were bound to compensate the plaintiffs for the losses they had sustained by the great fire of 1835. The ea law argument did not afford a suffici field for Mr. W. to exercise’ his Breat powers, The cl of cases before the Court, he contended, should be dis cussed carefully, as there wa: age responaibility resting upon hen, in passing upon the rights of the parties who came before them. The Court was bound to take a comprehensive view of the matter, without refer- ence to the private right of any individual—euch view as would cpa the law, The position taken by the op- pesite counsel, he contended, struck at the very root of private right. The great question before the Court was as to whether there was an overruling necessity fv exereise of the power under which they had acted there was no way in which, in this present case } the Court, they could raise that question. ‘The «« ants had pursued rather a curious course, throv¢’ counsel. Notwithstanding their having, fiow |! mencement, argued upon the of they still did not plead necessity in their dec! tion. The last words of his learned fri preceded him—overwhelmii consuming the city—had reference solely to the tion of necessity ; and yet they did not plead 1. sity. The question, he contended, for the consideration of a jury, and the legislainies had no power to act in the premises. The question f necessity was a question solely of fact for the decision of ajury. The areas of the Mayor and the coro. « tion was substituted for the decision of ajury ‘Ti+ perior Court in its ruling below, said that the que Von of actual necessity was shut up by the decision of the mayor and the corporation ; but, he contended, the cor poration had no right totake away any man’s property under cover of right, as it would completely unde ine the right of trial oie To illustrate his positions, he referred to the well known cose in which a barge was employed intaking acargo upon the river Thames, (Eng- land,) whena storm having arisen, the persons on board in order to protect themselves, threw over the cargo, which, it was proved, was necessary, in order to save the lives on board. The law decided this to be lawful ; but the blowing up of the plaintif’s premises, was a far different matter, Frivate property was taken away, by the Corporation, under the authority of the State ; which, under the circumstances, could not be restraine: by injunction, as the action was too sudden. But, in the present case, the legal formalities may altogether be laid aside, when it was considered that an express promise was made to the plaintiff’s. ‘The substitutions of the natural law, for the civil law, in order to deprive a man is property, should not be tolerated in the present age—it was only worthy of an age of barbarism. B: natural law, man stands on his own rights ; but, the ob- ject of the civillaw was, t! under common right. all may enjoy and live under one community. The law of necessity’ was revolutionary—mobocratic There were, however, cases wher ich a law may, De sanc- ioned. Two men. one in the water—in which is floating one plank, capable only ef containing one of them; danger arrives, and under the “ law of necessity,” either is justifiable in taking the plank,—the strongest, of course, would have it. This was the law of necessity. In the present case, property was taken away ; the city had abundance of means to compensate the owners, and the law of necessity was set up in defence ; yet, it was not pleaded, upon’ the record. ‘The law of necessity as the flames that were 10s was fit only for savages, and totally unworthy of the age in which they lived. Sevaton.—Cannot the Legislature apply the law of “ Jettison” as well on land as at sea? Mn. Wrnsrer.—l don’t know, sir. 1 should think that would require considerable digging. (Laughter.) The learned gentleman weut on to say, that the law of necessity pleaded in justification in this present case, wasa flagrant violation of ail law, and contended that the statute under which the Corporation had acted, was a “grant” to the city, extended with a view to benefitthe cttizons ; whoin return were bound, as was contempla- ted by the act, to compensate the owners of property which was destroyed in such a way. Mr. W. after citin, much law authority in support of his position, concluded. The case will be decided in December next. Mormon Arramns.—The last Nauvoo Naar publishes the following important notice from 6 Smith, the brother of Joe : Dear Brethren and Sisters—After having been for ro long atime buffeted upon the wave of affliction ; aster having suffered for so long a series of years ; after hav- ing sacrificed all this world’s goods, by mobs at different times ; and after having suffered so much sorrow and f+ fiction from the loss of friends and relatives, I still do not complain, but remain resigned to the will of God, who knows what is best for his Saints. And | hope that my brethren and sisters will remem- ber their old and tried friend, Wm. Smith. I am now ready to receive the calls of the saints, and confer upon them their patriarchal blessings, as they may desire — Residence on Water street, house formerly ocenpied by Mr. William Marke. Wirtiam Suita. The oflice of Patriarch over the whole church is to be a father to the church, and to- confer blessings on its members, according to an order handed down from the first of Patriarchs to the present. By some of these great and most marvelious events have been predicted; which have received their fulfilment after many gene- rations have passed away ; for instance, Jacob blessing his son Joseph ; Moses b'essing the tribes of Israel, &e , &c. Father Smith, the fr.t patriarch, and Hyrum, his successor, conferred ‘many blessings upon the Saints that made their hearts glad. But they, inthe wisdom of God, have been called away, and William the son and brother, succeeds them, How many now will wish I my patriarchial blessing ? This has b lamentation en since the death of Joseph and Hy- rum. William is the last of ¢ i rits the blood and spirit of bh the priesthood and patriarchal office from h' brother, legally and by hereditary descent.
