cuerpo. nc SORA eal STARE RE ee IPN NRE PE MMI, § UREN PN _NEW_YORK HERALD. New York, Saturday, July 1L2, 1845. Our Dlustrated Weekly. The Weekly Herald, to be ready at 8 o’clock this morning, at sixpence a copy, will be beautifully il- Justrated with two splendid engravings, of a scene at the Irish Emigrant Office, and a view of the Blind Institute buildings. The Influence of the West on the Foreign Policy of the United States. Rumor, with its hundred tongues, has been busy in ascribing to the administration a course of policy, the bare mention of which has startled the careless and awakened the torpid. One day we hear of compromise and conciliation, another of expediency and the blessings of peace. All this expenditure of words daily takes place upon a matter that needs no discussion, inasmuch as conflicting rights in the case are quite obvious to men who do not blind them- selves by temporising. It is almost needless to say we allude to the Oregon question, that which is up- permost in the minds of every person at present, to the almost total exclusion of every other. In adverting to this subject, it appears best to speak plainly and explicitly, and to divest it of a great deal of the extraneous matter that is mixed up with it. Our object is simple—to prove that Oregon must be,as Texas is, our’s. Does this require lengthened argument? Certainly not, if there is any truth in the virtue of democracy, or the sove- reignty of the people. By this potent agency was Texas annexed, and that in the teeth of as bitter attacks, and as hostile demonstrations, as the foes of the country’s extension could evince. We always predicted that Texas must become a portion of this commonweat!th, for one simple reason—because the people of the United States declared it ought to be so. If that isa satisfactory reason, little pains need be taken to make out the destiny of Oregon. The people of the United States declare that Oregon is part of their territory, and in face of that declara- tion, who shall have the hardihood to dissent. Who, we repeat it, shall forbid the bonds? Shall the stock jobbers, the brokers, the mmnions of England: who swarm in the Atlantic States say no? Shalla time serving press be instrumental in changing the genia! current of the healthful popular impulse towards the spread of freedom over this vast continent ? Shall u truculent administration dare to sell the pass toa foreign enemy, instead of being faithfu! sentinels on the ramparts of nationality? Never. Let it be recollected the West has spoken out; the mighty West, with itsuncounted resources, its unnum- bered ; the West, which feeds the republic, keeps the paupers of Europe from starvation, and holds in her hands the sinews of war—the aliment of twoworlds. The West annexed Texas; the Wes; will have Oregon. It is quite idle for the diplomats of Washington, Paris or London, to contemplate a disposition of the question on what they may be pleased to call mutually satisfactory terms. We tell these functionaries that they may fold their charts, and take their dog ears out of their quarto volumes, | for a voice from without proclaims the award of American soil. These are not the days when nego- tiators and statesmen can sit, in their stnfled arm- chairs, and parcel out the western hemisphere to their own liking and to their master’s satisfaction, nor throw away three degrees of latitude for no bet- ter reason than to satisfy cupidity, or avoid the toil of a vigorous assertion of nght. Whatever truth there may be in the rumor of a contemplated compromise of our rights to Oregon, and every inch of it claimed. by our government, one thing is certain, that no such settlement will | ensure the blessings of peace for any considerable time. No administration can withstand the collision with the popular will, that would be caused by such | anact. Itis needless, however, to speculate on such | a contingency, for we do not believe that the Pre: dent of the U. States can seriously intend to forget | the voice that elected him, and which echoed | in loud and undying notes ‘Texas and Oregon must | and shall be our’s.”” | Tue Breve iw ree Scuoors anp Dr Rers.—The committee of the Board of Supervisors, to whom is referred the memoriol of several inhabitants inte- rested in the various ward schools, asking tke dis- missal of Dr. Rees, on the ground of his alleged in- competency and want of proper qualifications to fill the office of Deputy County Superintendent, held a meeting yesterday. The Doctor has applred to be heard by counsel, and Hiram Ketchum has been se- lected by him for the occasion. ‘Lhe committee will grant the application. It is to be hoped the in- vestigation will not be carried on with closed doors. ‘The Doctor has long since fully earned the holy crown of martyrdom in the cause of bigotry, and should the committee come to the conclusion that he | has, in his blind zeal, “ o’erstepped the modesty of | nature” in the exercise of his holy calling, a crown of martyrdom awaits him, inevitably. Hiram Ketch- um’s advocacy will be rich. The investigation will embrace a history of the whole Bible war, and sevee ral witnesses, who have taken an active part in the school question, are to be examined. It1s said that Bishop Hughes himself will be called upon. The committee have adjourned sine die. This trial by drum-head court martial, will be deeply interesting, and should be conducted openly, for the benefit of the public. Artantic Packets.—The Jast new Hotel Packet added to the Atlantic lines is the Fidelia, a beauu- ful ship, built by W. H. Webb, for the old line — She floats buoyantly and prettily on the water, and appears as if she knew her duty. The Fidelia is one thousand tons large, and is commanded by Captain Hackstaff, who has been twenty-six years in the Atlantic trade, and is there- fore thoroughly acquainted with the shortest and smoothest route to Liverpool. This is something for a cabin passenger to know, especially if he leaves New York without a full supply of lemons.— Captain H. superintended the construction of the F., and he has thrown all the experience acquired by his long service on the Adantic, in arranging the com- forte in his fine new ship. This experience is exhi- bited in her beautiful cabins—their solidity—airy state rooms and chaste appearance; in the storage rooms—ice hovse—water tanks—smoking cabin— meatrooms, &c All parts of the ship look Strong—smooth—solid—and sea worthy. There is no useless outlay of money or material. The 16th instant is the day of departure for the Fidelia. She goes to Liverpool All that we can, or ought to hope for, is that she will emulate the goodness of her after whom she is named aeteeaannanee Sovrnery Mait.—The great southern mail now arrives at midnight. This is an excellent hour for it to reach thie city. Our merchants have now an opportunity of reading, acting upon, and answering the letters they receive by it without the loss of time they experienced when the mail arrived here at 2 and 80’clock in the afternoon. Lone Istanp Ram Roap.—After next Tuesday, the passengers for Boston, and the tri-weekly train for Newport, will leave this city at 8 o’clock in the morning. Poer Orrick Srarisrics—The statistics of let- ters despatched fiom New York for delivery at some of the principal cities of the Union, furnish some index to the business movements of Albany. We find from the Ist to the 7th of July inclusive, that the follow- ing number of letters were dispatched from New York for delivery: ~ No. of lett p, ‘ At Albany... » “f ers. Popula’n, ‘At Baltimore. . At New Orlean 102,19) Inpian Treaty.—The St. Joseph Gazette ot las: Friday says:—‘* We learn from a gentleman who Left the Council Bluffs a weeks since, that the Pottawa tamies were to hold @ council at that place on Monday last, to consider the proposition of the United States, to hase their Te Missouri river.

The jon prevailed that no purchase could be effected ; thet hi hl! bree # are jugfavor, bu {the Indians generally are oppored to selling at eny price ‘neatricais. — 4 weENcu Orgra.—The tourth performance of Ia Favorite, of which opera we gave [a full criti- cism on its first night, went off last evening in that style of excellence, to which this very talented com pany have accustomed us; and the intense heat of the weather, although the theatre was comparatively cool, had only a very slight effect on the efforts of the singers, whose arduous talk was thus rendered doubly difficult. The honors of the evening were due to the charming Calvé and the talented Arnaud— the keystones of the opera. With regard to Ar naud, it can be seen how very difficult it is to judge a singer after one or two hearings, The first im- pression made by this—we repeat it—very talented singer, on the public at large, was not strictly unfa- vorable, but likewise not the contrary, owing to the peculiar qualities of his voice, although the connois- seur could even then distinguish qualities which are only to be met with in superior artists. But since that time he has been continually growing inestimation, and he is universally considered the best tenor, who ever visited America. In the present dearth of powerful tenors, he deserves still more to be appre- ciated, than he really is; but even, if they were less searce, he would be entitled toa high rank, as with the exception of the singers of the grand opera in Paris, Masset of the opera comigue, and Laboride in Bruxelles, we know of no tenor, who would be su- perior to him. Of Calvé, the queen of the comic opera, we can only say again, that the tragic power she displays in her singing throughout this opera, isa matter of surprise. Garry, who is yet wanting a little in assurance and steadiness,possesses one quality in an eminent degree—feeling—that will carry him through, wherever he will have an opportunity of showing it. His “* Ne le chassez pas de votre ceur,” in the third act, is very chastely sung ; but his grand air of the second act is not very well told. This is not so much his fault, as that of the composer ; this air is written for the sake of introducing the peculiar style of Baroiehet, a Frenchman, but who received his musical education in Italy, on his debut in Paris, where he had been called to take the place of Le- vasseur ; it therefore is notentirely suitable to Gar- ry, whose style of singing is exclusively French. Chorus and orchestra, as usual, did their duty to the utmost of their capacities. The fille du regiment is underlined for Monday, and is to be followed by Halévy’s Juive, for which great preparations are being made. Castte Garpex.—As usual, there was a highly respectable and numerous audience present last evening,at this cool and entertaining place of amuse- ment. Md’lle Desjardins was greatly applauded in the Hungarian polacca; the West India dance by Master Wood was remarkably clever. Parsloe’s comic tableaux of thefHighland Courtship,jcreated Toars of laughter. The performances concluded with the Venetian Cardinal on the tight rope, by Herr Cline, in which he almost surpassed his former performances, and was greeted with unbounded ap- plause. The programme for this evening promises a rich evening’s amusement. Nisvo’s GarpEen.—Mrs. Mowatt commences her first engagement in ourcity on Monday evening next, Pauline, in the Lady of Lyons, being selected for her début. Thisis a masterly move on the part of General Niblo, and will secure a golden harvest.— Mr. Crisp is also engaged and will appear in Claude Melnotte. Chippendale plays Damas, the bluff old revolutionary soldier ; Davenport, Beauseant ; Mrs, Watts, Madame Desschappelles, and Mrs. Deering, the Widow. The cast isa strong one. Niblo ha’ ever been most fortunate in securing the best talent, in the market. The names of Burton, Reeve, Ball Ranger, the Ravels, Brown, Roberts, Chi tale John Sefton, T. Placide, Miss Taylor, thews, &c. attest this fact, and his enterpr of troublous times, has been met with a lar; of public patronage, without the necessity r reducing his prices. Much of this unvaried is, doubtless, to be attributed to the decorum .nd order preserved in his establishment, and never, on ny oceasion, deviated from.

The President, Pierrot, arrived at Cape Haytien on the 25th of May, ‘aving previously given his sanction to a decree revoking the pains and penal- ues declared against General Inginac in 1344. Advices had come from $:. Thomas that ex-Presi- dent Herard had abandoned ail hope or intention of making any new attempt upon Hayti. It was re- vorted there that the Dominicans meditated a return under.the dominion of Spain, in exchange for aid trom Cuba and Porto Rico in their quarrel with the Haytiene. The aunt of General Sanchez, a woman of 60, had been shot at St. Domingo, with three men, under accusation of having been engaged in the Duarte conspiracy. Letters from Aux Cayes announced a return of quiet in that city, and a relaxation of the severities exercised upon suspected persons. An English man of war has arrived at Port Re- publican, from Jamaica, to demand redress for the capture of an English vessel, which, having anchor- ed near the schooner of Herard, was taken by the Haytien flotilla, and carried into Jacmel, where she was soon released. Despatches had been received from the commis- sioners who were sent to Paris on the subject of the debt to France, but these only announced their arri- val and gracious reception by the King. On the 2Ist of May an issue of four-dollar bills, to the amount of $800,000, was decreed, to relieve the financial embarrassments of the government. The Dominicans had commenced active hostili- ties against the Haytiens. The Manifeste of June 22, announces their approach in force, and their capture of some posts which the Haytiens were not strong enough at the moment to defend. Reinforce- ments were to be despatched immediately from Port Republican ; the Haytien troops behav badly, and the President had thrown some of the officers Li cilogg figh seek There was a fight on the of June, al miles from Port ‘Republican, in which the Wout 60 had three men killed. Moat of the political prisoners at Port had been set at liberty, as also at Aux Cayes, Jere- mie and St. Mare. Sixteen were reserved for trial by a military commission. Caxava—Montreal papers of the Sth inst., gives the following items:— We find no notice in the Ministerial prints regarding Lord Metealfe’s indisposition. His Lordship has not been in,town for some days, and it is rumored that he is seriously Indisposed, Mr. Secretary Daly's answer tothe Quebec deputation relative to aid to the fire sufferers, has been published tis proposed to advance tl hest for tem- orary relief, and to propose {o Parliament to loan (giv0.000, ‘security being given for its repayment, satis- factory to the Attorney Tho principle is, we hink, a good one, bu r that the sum proposed ind that this will lead If satisfactory Kecurity be lo not see wi Republican e will be found wholly insnfficient, favoritiem ond corny a bea) pr sould not be granted In 'wo previous [touched briefly upon the al pogrees whieh the doctrine te Re orm is ‘ing in Europe‘and this country; in, th present one I will explain the principles which those who psa it eae in pte, = out thir great work ; but previously let sk men in general should be so 0} to the idea a social reform? why they should cling to and uphold so te naciously the present social order? Is the present system of society the preduct, the work of the American people 7 Has it been devised and established under the influence of the political li- berty and higher order of bopalar ancelligenoe which they posse: No. Has it been established by the christian nations—by the more advanced races that accepted christianity at its advent upon earth, and under the influence -of its doctrines of universal justice and universal love and brotherhood? No.— The system of society under which we now live, and which sways our doctrines, took its rise in the Babylonian, Egyptian, Greek and Roman periods ; itwas called into exist- ence by those nations and was developed and fully systematized in Greece and Rome; it is called in consequence antique, or the Greek and Roman civi- lization. This society was established before the advent of Christ, and under the influence of the principles that then reigned universally—principles of violonce, despotism, usurpation, war, conquest, and slavery. It is essentially and wholly an anti- Christian ‘and a Pagan society. The doctrines of brotherhood, of equality, of liberty, and of univer- sallove and justice proclaimed by christianity,should have changed the false social order of antiquity as it did i's false religions; but the social order maintain- ed itself and is still ereet and powerful upon earth, governing the destines of christendom. It was con- tinued Huei the middle ages down to modern times, and from Europe it has been transplanted to America. Ithas been somewhat modified by the influence of christianity ; slavery, for example, has been transformed into serfdom, and sertdom into the wages system—civil rights have been secured to woman, &e.; but the system has remained essen- tially the same. It is based as ever upon the sepa- ration und division of classes and families, upon conflicts of interests, upon war in the battle-field, and in industry and commerce—upen industrial ser- vitude, and upon disunion, division and antagonism; and its results are as ever, dependence and oppres-. sion, poverty and ignorance, and the heavy train of miseries and evils which they engender. . Now why should men cling to and mpels sie sys- tem of society? Why should a people claiming to be christian in its faith and philanthropy, and demo- cratic in its polities, uphold a society which is anti- christian in its institutionsand spirit, and bend upon social servitude and inequality under a hundred forms? If any conservative will give a good and sound reason for it, we shall be the first to adhere to it, but as yet we have seen none. With these preliminary remarks, letus examine how a social reform should be commenced and prosecuted. Should it be by operating upon a whole nation? by a general tee in the policy and condition of things at once? By no means; this is the policy of political reformers, who try their. experiments upon a whole becle at once, instead oj first testing them upon a sinall district, The advocates of a social re- form declare thata practical trial of the reform which they propose should first be made with a few hundred persons and upon a very small scale; the principles can be as well tested upon a single township or village as upon a whole nation, and if they succeed upon this small scale, they will spread by their own inherent excellence and by the advantages which they secure to mankind generally; they will succeed as did the steamboat, the railroad, and other great improvements, first tried upon in a limited way, and then universalized progressively. Thus our means of propagation are a practical trial upon a small scale—a local experiment of princi- ples, which if they be false, will be proved so by one fair experiment, and if they be true, will succeed by general imitation. We wish to establish one Assoctatiox, which is the best form the type or mi- niature of the great society which, we believe, is to exist universally upon the earth, and in which our principles will be realised in practice before we preceed farther. This method of reform is the only true and legitimate one ; it is peaceful and conser- vative in its action, progressive in its policy, and anti-revolutionary in its mode of operation, for itean only succeed by proving to the eyes of all the world, by practical demonstration, that it is true and jnst Now let those reformers who are convulsing the country with their partial reforms, and the selfishly onservative » indirectly are robbing the laboring I of t uits of their toil, and reducing hei to industiial dependence and servitude by si- lent and underhand revolution, by the power of pri- vilege and class legislation, by monopolized ma- chinery, and free competition, and the overpowering intluence of capital; let these classes, we say, who attack this idea of a social reformation, examine this method of proceeding, and if ee think that they can throw the first stone, we invite them to do so. “And what is this model, this small type of the larger society which you wish to establish upon the earth ?” it will be asked. This model, we answer, which contains, within itself, all the social laws we. advocate, and which is a microcosm, so to say, of the universal society, is what we term an Associa- tion. And an Association, to define it abstractly, is the first, or simplest element of society, the primary germ of the state, organized upon strictly scientific principles, and upon laws of justice and unity. To understand this clearly, we will define what we un- derstand by the first, or primary element of society The United States for example, are composed of States, the States of counties, and the counties of townships. Thus the townships (or if the families composing it are congregated together) the town or village is the first and simplest element, the prima- ry germ of the State or Nation—and the whole sys- tem of society depends upon the. value and charac ter of the peeeteaian of this primary element, and the laws and principles upon which it is based—for a society, no matter how extended, is but a repeti- tion of townships. ae Now the present organization of the township is false—it is based upon entirely erroneous prin- ciples and arrangements. It is based, first, upon the disassociation and isolation of the fam composing it, which give rise to endless comy tion and waste ; second, upon conflict of interests, vy alanger um | and the antagonism of all branches of industry ; third, upon a bad application of labor, capital and talent; fourth, upon an unjust division of profits, giving the largest portion to a few, and leaving but ittle to the producing many ; fifth, upon a servile system of hired labor and a degrading system of jomestic drudgery ; sixth, upon the pecuniary de- pendence and the non-productiveness ot women and children; seventh, upon a complicated and wasteful system of commerce ; eighth, upon the general clashing and discord of aims and views, and of the passions. We wish to reform and remodel this township, and base it upon true and scientific principles—and an association such as we propose, is this reformed township. It 1s the primary element of society, or- ganized upon principles of right and justice. Let one township, thus rightly organized be established, and the immense superiority of the system over that which now reigns, will guarantee its spread until it becomes universal. In this reformed township, or the association, the following, among other conditions, forming con- trast with those enumerated, will be fulfilled The families and individuals composing it, will, first, be associated, and the vast economies attend- ant npon such association will be introduced ; se- cond, unity of action and interests will be establish- ed; third, labor, capital and talent applied in most eflicient manner ; fourth, laws for a just and equita- ble division of profits laid down, paying each indi vidual soles | to the labor, capital or skill which he performs or furnishes ; fifth, a good and scienti- fic organization of labor introduced, making each individual an associated partner, with equal rights and privileges, instead of a hireling, or a dependent menial ; sixth, productive spheres of action, and th rights of property, secured to those who are now de: prived ofthem,especially womenand minors;seventh adirect and economical system of commerce, main- ly wholesale, and direct between the associations organized, and managed by agents paid a commis: sion, and responsible for the just performance of their duties ; eighth, unity of aims and views, and general concord established. We propose thenj a reformed township, to replace the present township, which 18 falsely organized in nearly all its particulars; and we know that it is only by introducing a reform into the fundamental branches of society and human life, affecting as they do the daily condition and existence of every indi- vidual, that any great practical results can’ be at- tained. Political, administrative and other partial retorms operate merely upon the welfare of affairs ; they do not go to the root of social evils, and cannot eradicate them ; we must have u sovial reform, and this truth, now dawning upon the worl > will be comprehended after some years more of partial and pis ppp reforms, and the large number of spe- cial and one-sided reforms—movements which now agitate the public mind, will have, by their recipro- cal limitations, conflicts and opposition, opened the eyes of those engaged in them to universal prinei- ples, and the necessity of a comprehensive reform, which shall satisfy them all in a Higher unity. (To be concluded. } : Sr Tiomas.—Captain James Lofland, of brig Re- becca, at this port from St. Thomas,’ Juue 23th, states that a fire occurred at that place early on the morn- ing of the 26th ult. in a building « wharf, and occupied by Santa Stille, Esq. as a Commission Ware: house, which together with two adjoining bu ings, were entirely consumed.

The fire burnt from No. 128 to 148, ten houses frontin the street, and about six hou: in the rear,some of whic! we have been told were worth from fifteen to eighteen hundred dollars. A man of the name of Ackerson,who has been residing in the country some weeks, owned one of the houses burned, with all its contents, and more than robable without | having ‘anything’ insured. We ave been told that a boy about sixteen ling of ‘sor of age had his head sererely. cut by the fi timber, but not dangerously, but we believe that this was the only accident which happened during the night. A good many watchmen and police Were on the spot, looking out for thi but n ieeaocing: all their, watchfulness the thieving gentlemen succeeded in carry- ing away a quantity of property from about the place, but which we hope through the activity of our new police force will be recovered.

It appeared he shipped plaintiff and sent him off there. Plaintiff at the time had mislaid his trunk, which defendant's partner afterwards found, and sent to ‘efendant ; plaintiff hereupon went to New Bedford, and never received his trunk. Not receiving it, he was vbliged to return to the city and break up his voyage. He now sues for the value of his trunk, and for damage in consequence of its detention. Defendant alleges he put his trunk in a car on board a steamboat going to New Bedford, and if not received, must have been lost. His Honor Judge Smith awarded him a sum of $ 0 damages.

Perusing in the columns of your valuable paper descriptions of the mode and manner of celebrating } the cnniversary of our national independence in dil- ferent parts of our State, and of the Unien, I have ; concluded to give you a description of the celebra- \ tion of that day in our far-famed and beautiful vil- ! lage, which may prove interesting to some of your ; subscribers, who are conversant with the manners and customs of our inhabitants. The day was ushered in with a grand and terrific explosion of three packs of fire crackers, a part of which fizzed—after which all was again quiet as usual, as the boys (for the want of funds, perhaps, ) and those having in qharge the proceedings of the day, with kind and considerate forethought, stayed for a few hours their intended operations, giving our fair village an opportunity to finish their mionning repose. Atabout mine o’clock there was a gran display of twenty-nine girls in white frocks, and about as many boys in woollen pants, who, in grand rocession, proceeded to the First Presbyterian ‘hurch, accompanied by the music of the Academy bell and others, and plenty of fire crackers. Order of proceedings:—One oration, four sermons, sing- ing by the children. The flag of onr country waved triumphantly from a hickory pole standing in front of a porter howe, with the names of our President and Nis President thereon, thus showing our re- spect for our institutions. The Fathers of our village, in their great wisdom, well knowing that the lofty pole in our public square would, of itself, without the uid of banner, prove to visiters that we were not wanting in patriotism. At about three o'clock we repaired to “Franklin Hall,” where we found the chief attraction, and a most cea place of amusement—here was held a “Ladies? Festival, for the express purpose of raising money to penest a Parsonage for the Minister of the Presbyterian Church, (who, by the way, is a bachelor, and hopes are entertained by some of our young ladies that he will change his state with his house.) The room was trimmed very tastefully with greens and flags. Here all was mirth and joy—all kinds of eat- ables, and many beautiful faces, and sweet smiles were there to greet each guest who entered their magic circle. The Postotlice, notwithstanding the new law, made no reduction in postage. Time will not permit of a very full description of this affair.— The most remarkable thing was the several young gents, who seemed to be well sopinied with all present, and whose flirtations, although only inter- esting to the parties themselves, all passed off in good spirit, with one or two exceptions,which some- times will ‘‘rain down” upon such an assembly. _ The amusements of the day closed without acci- dent of any kind, by another grand display of fire- crackers, and folks went to slumber, save those flirting gents. Our village was filled with strangers, who seemed to rove the streets for amusement, but to those who did not find it, we would say, “‘youdid not understand the way.” Very warm—North river nearly filled with bathers. Nothing more at present. =~ Cazenovia, Madison Co., July 9, 1845. Were you ever at Cazenovia? If not, you have not seen one of the pleasantest villages in the State, if not.the pleasantest. |, Our lake, Hawgena, lays in the bosom of the surrounding hills, like an infant sleeping on itsmother’s breast, and like the same in fant fed by pure sweet springs. Hawgena is about five miles long by three-quarters broad, running north and south, and on the south-eastern part lays our own lovely and quiet village—lovely from its pleasant walks and shady groves—its high surround- ing tarms,and healthy atmosphere. Quiet because of its distance from the muddy canal, and the smoke and dust of the railroad, and its great steam horse. We are about nine miles from the canal, south, and abouteight or nine hundred feet above it. We have three large woollen factories here, which con- sume a great deal of wool inayear. Wool is going at from 25 to 33 cents, extremes. There has been considerable brought in here, this summer from of Fes} ' Jul , Vartety 0. _ We have five churches, Presbyterian, Sonereet: tional, (split off from the former,) Baptist, Metho- dist, and Episcopal. So you see we are ina fair way tojsustain our good name for morality. Also, we have a large and flourishing seminary here under the care of the Methodists.

From Vanraraiso.—Leuters dated Valparaiso, April 8, afford the annexed intelligence: The United States sloop Portsmouth carried to the Pa- cific the British Government mail of January—a ver: large one—which arrived at Rio in one of H. B. Majesty's packets the day before the Portsmouth sailed—a fortunate circumstance. In consequence of the Chagres or overland mail, via Norfolk and Panama, having been inade up at the same time when the Portsmouth sailed from the United States, she carried out very few letters, but had papers to the 23d of January, inclusive. The U.S, ship Savannah had been at Valparaiso and sailed for Callao March 11th, hav- ing come from Californi: She had not yet met Commo- dore Sloat, who was awaiting her arrival at Callao, A packet arrived at Callao February 2st, which in- formed the commodore that Mr. Crump, U. 8. charge d= affaires to Chili, and Mr. Bryfn, U. 8. charge d’afiaires to Peru, were waiting for a vessel to take them up the coast; he despatched the Levant, Com.

They do not go North of Callao, hence they are of no advantage in transporting our overland mails. ‘These steamers are U1 days from Valparaiso to Callao and 14 days from Cal- tao to Valparaiso, .Genman Sertcement—A few days since, we visited the German settlement now being establish- ed in Shelby county, in this State. ‘They have located on North River about six miles north of Shelbyville.

We can aturibute the limited increase in the receipts of this road this season, compared with last, to the policy of maintaining a high tariff of charges for passengers. The price of passage from Boston to Albany, on the western railsvad, is about double what itis between those two ities, via New York. People travelling for pleasure would prefer the cheapest,even if 1t was the longest, pro- vided it was the pleasantest route. Business men require expedition, and generally take the shortest ronte, and it is principally from this class of travellers, the western road derives its passenger receipts. ‘The directors of the Western Railroad Company will be compelled to reduce this scale of charges, if they have any wish to increase their income of the road.

A large portion of the importations in the first six months of 1844, was in the foreign manufactures of Europe paying a very high per cent duty, which swelled the average percent upon the imports, much higher than for the year previous, The average for this year, so far, only ranges about five per cent above the standard re- «uired by the most ultra free trade man in the country, and it is our opinion that the present tariff would not, in tree years hence, produce more than an average duty of twenty percent. There are three parties in this country, upon the question of the tarif. First, we have the free trade party; then the revenue standard party, and last the protectionist, There is nota practical principle in the whole three parties. Those advocating free trade, have no practical illustration of the system; it is so far a mere theory, and its adoption would be an experiment Those advocating a revenue standard, have no fixed ides of what that standard must be to yield a revenue sufficient to meet the expenditures of government one y another. What they mean by a revenue standard, is un- doubtedly one producing a revenue large enough to meet the wants of government alone, without giving a dollar surplus, or leaving a deficiency. It is well known that the importations into this country fluctuate very much from year to year, and the revenue from customs, under any regulation of tho tariff, must fluctuate with the im- ports, The table we have given ahove of revenue from customs, unter the pre 1 t, shows a fluctuation in one year of 1: t per cont, and a tariff averaging a por cent five o er cent lower then that of 1842 will be subject to the extremes.
