ERALD. | N EW New York, Wed YORK*H sday, July 16, 1845. News from Europe. | The Great Western and Britannia with news half | @ month later will be-due on Thursday and Friday. Principles and Policy of the Administration —The Collectorship at New York, It is a well settled principle that every man should | be esteemed innocent until he is proved guilty, Ac- eordingly every man should be supposed to speak the truth, unless in some way he is proved tofspeak false. Mr. Polk has been at no small pains to esta- blish and publish the fact, that he will under no cir- © tances, consent{to be again a candidate for the Presidency. It is but fair between man and man, and extending but a reasonable courtesy, to believe what he says, and argue accordingly.) We take him at his word. He will net run again. Now, there are but two ways of administering the government—one for the general good of the com- monwealth, and the other for private and selfish pur- We are, therefore, compelled to believe that the President intends to administer the government f sr the public good, and not for private ends. Unless he prove recreant to every honorable feeling, he can never forget that he was nominated at the Baltimore Convention, and elected by the people, through the spirit of compromise and concession. To nodemo_ cratic cligue or party does he owe his election to the Chief Magistracy, but to the union and compromise of therm all, each conce#ing a part. For the good of the whole, therefore, by every honorable consi- Jeratior, is he bound to administer the government. ch have been his professions, nor have we hitherto seen any thing in his practice in contravention of his principles. That he may have been influenced by Gen, Jackson is highly probable ; but that he was led by him, Major Lewis will den: That he sha- ped his adrministration to gratify the South, will be denied by the friends of Mr. Calhoun.— That he sought an alliance with the friends of Mr. Van Buren, will be denied by Col. Benton, ind by that distinguished rifle shot, John C. Rives; of the Globe, who delivered the suppressed speech; and by Silas Wright, who is not Secretary of the ‘Treasury; und by Jonathan I. Coddington, who is not Collector of the portof New York. Gov. Cass till cultivates his wheat upon the prairies of Michi- gan, Col. Johnson has nothing to do but tell his story of old Tecumseh; and if others are not like them forgotten, there is to every alkaline Buchanan, 1 acid Walker for an antidote. In short, all parties ied, but none are pleased. John Tyler was ty magistrate, seeking all and owned by Jomes K. Polk is a no-party magistrate,seek- but tolerated by all. What private views some of Mr. Polk’s Cabinet may entertain, is not so clear. That some of them are ambitious,even Mark Antony could not deny. But that the President has decision enough to act independently of them all,will never be denied by such of them as were ignorant of the appointment of Cornelins W. Lawrence as Col- lector of the port of New York, until after the deed was done itis not fora moment to be presumed that the most important financial department, and political agency of the government, escaped the most scruti- nizing attention of the administration at Washing- ton. From whatever quarter the wind at Washing- ton might blow, the vane upon the Custom House t New York would be s But how its the vane of this mighty financial and politicay How blows the wind? This much we can say in answer, that the clique who succeeded in badgering the President into the removal of Collec- t n Ness, do incontinently declare that it is an nd that blows nowhere. Certainly it has not yet set in this quarter, nor do we hear that it is like- ly to do so. Continually solicited as we are to indicate the volicy of Mr. Lawrence in the administration of the Custom House, we will reply that we know nothing of the subject, except what anhonest mind may al- ways know of an honest man’s conduct. Yet we hear a good deal. Whether he will remove a Day ton to secure a Dayton’s vote, or retain a Marcy to secure a Marcy’s favor, is a matter that we can scarcely believe he ever troubles his head about He has now been in office half a month, and some half a dozen removals or changes have been made, but for no politicalends. {t is not his poli understand it, to administer this branch o: vernment for the subservience of any clique, but for the general good. A man of capability and integrity himself, he will require hke qualiifications in his sub- ordinate officers; and those whom he retains under him will be retained because they possess those gratifications, and not because the Collector would eek favor with a United States Senate. The httle /ique of office beggars who importuned the remova of Gov. Van Ness, and who fondly hoped to find in his suecessor some pliant tool to yield to their be- hests, will be sadly disappointed, as they ought wo | be. Wedo not believe that Mr. Lawrence is the man either to be beguiled by their coquetry, or terri- fied by their threats, We hope he is not, at any rate. }t will and ought to be his ambition to administer he duties of his office so as to secure to himself a per petuity of the honorable name he has already earned, and not damn himself. The merchants of this city will, we hope, have cause to be satisfied. We are assured that in his decisions he will look to the scope and sntent of the law in alleases, and when a reasonable doubt exists as to the higher or lower rate of duty, he will take the lower rate; but never, as has some- times been done, assume to be legislator, and enact his decisions into laws. The administration at Washington has decided that the principle of rotation in office is applicable to those only who have held office twelve years— that being the minimum period determined on. And as, with the exception of a few old men, very tew of the present incumbents have held office for more than one third of that time, there will be no more removals, and it becomes a matter of charity to advise the three thousand and one office seekers who are now pestering the Collector, to go at once | about their business—! nd sell matches—set up | truit stands—do any thing—and drop office begging poses ar 4 no mg none e to show it. agency ? as we ie yo- ——___— | Comino Fam or tHe Amertcay Insrrrure.— | We observe by a circular published by the commit: | tee who have the regulation of this remarkable an- vwal demonstration, that it will take place in jhe | sual place, Niblo’s, on the 6th of October next. | The cattle show will be held in the second week of | the fair, on a plot of ground between 23d and 24th | streets, near the intersection of Broadway and the | fifth avenue, Nothing ean be finer than the pro- | mises made by the committee, and if they be al) | acted upon to the letter, there will be wonderful at- | tractions for the multitude, who, by the way, inay thank themselves after all for the brillianey that may | mark the proceedings, for unless they forked out | the eash, the fair would be a very dull af-fair. Va- | rious eloquent addresses will be delivered; the Silk | Convention will discuss a variety of topics, and | «pin endless yarns about, if not of, raw silk; fire- works and works of ingenuity of all kinds, will be exhibited, and the usual jam of both sexes will take place in the great saloon. We hope our livee may be prolonged to be present at this carnival. Tre [NenarirepEe Party.—Some of lemocratic papers have been voses against the appointment of Mr, Melville as Secretary to the American Minister to England, und the Evening Post in particular hus given itself some unbecoming airs in speaking of he matier. There was not a word about Mr Mel ville’s unfitness, when, in the last great great strug gle he labored with signal assiduity and efficiency inthe same ranks with the Post, and we wonder vhat inspiration has thrown this new light on the nind of that journal. It is a fortunate thing that the distribution of the spoila, and the reward of merit does not rest with the Post; if it did, those who bore the burthen and heat of the day, would or the turning up their j ments, and Sir Robert Peel and M. Guizot have Awmnicax steam ship Acadia | vhich day for Liverpool, will) arty some very important intelligence to Europe. ‘The great questions ot the day—the annexation of | Nexas, and the occupation of Oregon—have now #s- | umed @ shape tangible enough for England and | “rance to handle, if they feel so disposed. On the an | ‘exation question, their agents, Messre. Eliiott and | Saligny, have partially compromised their govern- leaves 1ow to assume the responsibility of :the acts of those agenis or to repudiate them altogether. M. Guizot has already declared that France will not interfere with Texas in whatever she chooses to do, but he rather insists on the preservation of what he is pleased to call the balance of power on the American Continent. It was well enough for him to repudiate the movements of M. Saligny, but in assuming to dic- tate the policy of this country, he has raised upa tveling of hostility against any interference of Eu- ropean nations in the affairs of North and SouthAme- rica, that cannot be repressed. It is now for Sir Robert Peel to declare his intentions—to repudiate, or assume the responsibility of all that Capt. Elliott has done. The intelligence that goes out to-day in the Acadia will compel him to take his choice. The Oregon question is not so nearly settled as that of Texas. The negotiations are in progress | in Washington, and the Hon. Louis McLane: | the new Minister to England, with fresh in- structions on the subject, takes passage in the Acadia. It is difficult to tell what will be the result of the present negotiations. We know the feelings of the people of the country on the question ; we know, from the effect produced by the rumor that the boundary line to the 49th degree had been agreed upon, that there will be more difficulty in Theatricatn. ] Pans Tuearre.—To-night will be repregéated, forthe first time in ths country, the splendid opera La Jvive, one of the chef d’euvre of musical compo- sition, The artists who are to sing in this opera, among: Whom the publie will find most of their fa- | vorites, make a bill of no small attraction to the lov- ersof music. And the splendor of the scenery, the magnificence of the dresses and accessories, will contribute greatly to remunerate tne public for their attendance. Mlle Calvé, M’me Casini, Messrs. Arnaud, Ceuriot, Douvry and Garry will appear in this opera, and the names of so many em- inently distinguished artists is sufficient to warrant the moet sanguine expectations of the public, and se- cure a liveral patronage tothe company. We ad- vise those who attend the performance .o-night to procure the libretto which is sold at the office. It will prove very useful to them, especially if they are not very well acquainted with the French language. The libretto contains the opera in French,,with a literal translation in English, by Mr. Revoil, a gen- tleman of great literary acquirements Nivto’s Garven.—Mrs. Mowatt is attracting crowded and overflowing saloons. Her popularity is actually on the inerease. Nothing can exceed the excitement her appearance creates. Parties come from the neighboring watering places, and Rockaway and New Rochelle are quite deserted th® evenings Mrs. M. acts at Niblo’s. She is to again delight a fashionable saloon to-night by her persona- tion of Pauline. Mr. Crisp and Mr. Chippendale repeat the characters of Claude Melnotte and Col. Damvs. American Institute—Farmers Club. The usual weekly meeting of this body took place at their rooms in the Park yesterday at 12 o’clock. settling this question than any other ever brought before the country. No compromise can be eflect- | ed; either England or America must give way. Will America ? This news will soon be acted upon in England | and France, and those nations must define their po- | sition towards this country. We shall, therefore» look with interest for intelligence from the other side of the Atlantic, to the middle or close of Au- gust. We may then know what to expect. Morse’s ‘Tenecraru—Coxmox Covncr..—The advantages that have resulted to the community at large, by the introduction of this most valuable me- | dium of communication—no matter in what local- | ity it may be placed—have been so repeatedly ac- knowledged and commented upon, that we do not deem it necessary, now that its merits have been so universally allowed, and sufficiently tested, to add anything in relation to its efficient, and almost superhumau agency, as a means of communication We have repeatedly advocated its intreduction in every available part of the Union, from a thorough conviction of its importance to every social and com- mercial member, who breathes the free air under which we live. It has forced its way upon the con- sideration of Congrees, whose tardiness in giving it- a fair trial we have frequently condemned. Its successful operations between Washington and Baltimore, have, indeed, astonished every one who has glanced at the daily records that have teemed through the press, communicating with electric rapidity, a synopsis of the proceedings in Cor and a general digest of the news of the second trom the Capitol to Baltimore: Congress should have at once placed the telegraph u operation through the principal towns and cities he Union ; but, in its wisdom, it made a small )propriation for fixing the Telegraph in a favored lity, and so the matter has rested. We are gratified to perceive, that the Common Council have passed a resolution. in favor of allow- ing its introduction into this city, which, should Joston or Philadelphia have a sufficiency of public spirit, will enable both the latter cities to avail them- selves of this step, asa preliminary to the establish- ment of a line on the electro-magnetic plan, be- tween both cities. New York has done and will do her part in the premises. What say Boston and | Philadelphia? We throw down the gauntlet from Old Gotham, and challenge them to enter the lists on this enterprize. Te yew Sreampoat Riv Van Winkte.—This splendid boat built, as most of our readers know, by a society of wealthy young gentlemen belonging to this city and Albany, is to run between these two plices, and will begin her regular trips Thursday or Friday of this week. She measures 222 feet over all; 26 feet beam; 9feet hold, and is between 450 and 500 tons, with a 44 inch cylinder, a 10 feet stroke, and a 28 feet wheel, 9 feet face and 28 inches deep. She draws 3 feet9 inches water. The en- gine is nearly similar to those of the steamboats Troy, Empire, &c., and are called Lighthall im- proved half beam marine engines, and will be under the care of a person of great worth asa gentleman and an engineer. The engine is of 150 horsej pow- er, and the whole is so disposed as to ensure secu- | rity and celerity. The promenade deck. which is | entirely unobstructed, is 116 feet in length, the low- | er cabin 98 feet, and the saloon 60 feet. we could judge, she equals in beauty and in propor- tion,all boats at present navigating the North River. The builder of the Rip Van Winkle, is Mr. George Collyer, who has certainly exhibited a great deal of taste and skill in the construction of this chef douvre of naval architecture. The outside of the wheels is covered by two splendid pictures ; one representing a view of the bay of New York, with the arms of the city; and the other, the venerable Rip Van Winkle himself, ust recovering from his protracted sleep, and lost in surprise at contemplating the great alterations in the country, which he finds it impossible to recog: nize. Both paintings are beautifully finished, and are well worth a visit to the boat. The promenade obstructed, is the largest we have ever seen ona boat of the same size. The internal accommoda- tions, both for ladies and gentlemen, are of a ve superior kind, and the elegance and splendor of the | saloon and lower cabin riva! anything we have ever | seen before. Captain L. D. Abell, who will com- | mand her, is avery gentlemanly man, and we feel ustified in saying that she will be no lese a favorite with the public, than the boat now under his charge, Mititary Movements.—We understand that the New York City Guards, Capt. McArdle, intend shortly to visit Boston. The Governor’s Guards, and the State Fencibles, commanded by Capt. George Lyon, and the Living- ston Guards, comprising the Second Regiment of State Artillery, under the command of Col. Wilham | Dodge, left this city last Monday evening for Poughkeepsie, where they hold their annual en- campment. They were accompanied by the New York Brass Band, and made a very soldier-like up- pearance. The Hancock Light Infantry of New Haven, Capt. Pray, will visit New York about the 25th of the Boston Brass Bands. The City Cadets is the name of a new Poughkeepsie.

INDIAN Arrairs.—The pending treaty between the ¢ ioners of the United States and the Potta- . has been broken off. ‘The Pottawatamies own shout 5,000,000 acres of land whieh the government de- ired to purchase at 10 cents, but the chiefs would not ake less than 15 cents per acre.

They will be accompanied by one of | Dr. Archer Was, on motion to that eflect made, se- lected to preside, for which he tendered his thanks to the meeting. Mr. Meigs acted as Secretary. ‘The first business done, was the perusal of some papers by the Secretary. In the first place, he read an extract from a French jeurnal, entitled “ Le Re- vue Scientifique,” being a passuge from an account of Abyssinia, drawn up by the expedition sent out by the French government to explore that country. | The Secretary observed that his principal object in translating the passage for the use of the Club, was the promulgation of the facts alleged therein, viz: that Abyssynia was throughout a level territory, ele- vated nearly 2,000 feet above the level of the sea, and singularly mild in climate, salubrious and fer- tile. He did not know that such wasgenerally known to be the case ; however, as it was new to him, he thought it right to introduce it to the club. The next communication of the Secretary was an oral one, and for the purpose of calling their atten- tion toa methed of preserving potatoes in boxes, so as to keep them fora very longtime. The process, he said would be found fully described in the Na- tional Magazine—page 190. ‘Che preservation of the potatoe was extremely important in every point ot view, but above all on account of its being a sure specific for the scurvy, which disease was power- less against a subject who could procure a potatoe to eat. A short report from the visiting committee was nextread. It related a visit to two or three places, the state and kind of the erp the mode of their culture, and a few other local facts of no importance whatever. x A letter from Lieut. Bartlett, of the U. S. ship Portsmouth, dated from Valparaiso, 8th April last. was read by the Secretary. It gave an account o the sailing feats performed by the vessel named, which in the opinion of the writer were unequalled. The neieee was commenced from Rio Janeiro, March 8th, for aipataiaG, . On the 20th, they made the Straits of La Maine, distant 2,400 miles ; thus continuing for twelve days to_average 13} nautical or 154 statute mi'es an hour. The remainder of the voyage was almost equally successful. A member here announced that Mr. Green and Col. Rose were unable to attend and address the meeting on Texas, as had been published ; he re- gretted it a goed deal, but the less that he was ena- bled to introduce a gentleman to them, who from residence and travel in that country, was able to gratify their laudable curiosity in relation to that country. He would call ues Dr. Paice—Who arose and said that he was not pre pared to do justice to the subject, not having been a prised that there would be a call made upon him. He had in his possession some notes made from personal ob- servation as well as good authorities, which, if they de- sired he would read for them, less in the hope of their being found interesting than in the persuasion that such as they were they could be reliedon. (A pause) I do not know that the club would like to hear them read. Seerrzvany.—For my part, sir, I should be anxious to hear from you. | want to learn something by listenin; to the perusal of your notes. Gentlemen, is it your wih to hear Dr. Paige? (Aye, aye, aye ! O certainly !) Dr. Parcr proceeded. Few persons, he observed, were aware of the beauty and resources of that country called Texas. It covered 360 thousand square miles; was nearly as Jarge as France and Spain together, conte ining an area of 200 millions of square acres. It was five times as large as New England; nearly equal to the whole of the Southern ites, which contained 370,000 square miles; allowing it the same ratio of populationas that of England it would sustain 130 millions of people. The great variety of accounts that were published of it, some of them contradictory, one to another, was owing to the different points of entrance into its vari 2 soil by trav. ellers. A great diversity of frontier was presented on its surface, which together with the vast extent which it covered led to various statements on the subject. The alluvial districts abounded i trees of those grow- ing in the valley of the Missi: Yet an erroneous impression prevails that Texa supplied with timber. In other districts may be raised cotton, sugar, tobacco, &c, almost to any extent,with very little lanor. Its table lands are represented to exceed in salubrity and productiveness those of Mexico herself. An abundance All travellers who have ful climate in the world; the range of the thermometer in summer is 80 deg, and in winter little or no ice is seen. Nor do changes of weather there produce the | same, orany complaints, as elsewhere. In winter the North winds sweep downits plains with as much regu- | larity as the South winds in summer. But its climate is | modified by such a variety of circumstances, thet the | Miasma prevailing in Louisiana is unknown in Texas in | similar localities; and the emigrant can settle in any | part of the country and escape disease, the fever and ague, that beset him inthis. Texas abounds in prairie nd natural meadows. Some of them are in ex- tent and beauty perfectly magnificent. | Flowers and herbage and the glories of the vegetable kingdom meet the eye far as it can wander; while all the known and useful varieties of timber are found in lavish profusion, Cotton is to be the great staple of Texas. Towards the Gulpk of Mexico it grows in length and fineness equal to j the Sea Island. Sugar is plentiful, yet owing to certain present causes it can hardly be had as plentifully as in Lou fer many years.— j The indigenous indigo of ‘Texas is greatly su. 1s to that cultivated in the United States — read stuffs can be had of the best quality and in exceed- ing abundance. Two crops may be annually gathered, each yielding 75 bushels of wheat peracre. "All the ce real grain flonrish in it. The soil is well suited for hemp, and rice may be produced to any extent. The Vanilla plant, the Locust tree are both of much celibrity for their utility, and the Chilli is highly esteemed by the Mexicans asa luxury. Some of its vegetable produc: tions are curlous—among them is found the famed Me- mosa, or sensitive plant. Texas 15 also very rich in mi- nerals—gold, silver, coal, iron and all those most essen: tialto man. Itis considered the silver mines of Mexico are the richest in the world. Game abound in the woods : he who can use a fowling-plece may have always a well furnished table. Its fish are not deficient or inferior— some of them, indeed, delicious ; one of them—the Red Fish, being ranked next to the Salmon. Its reptiles are limited ; the only noxious specie, with one or twe excep- tions being the rattle-snake,for whose bite,as well as that of all others,Ammonia is a certain and never-failin fic, when applied internally and externally. Ai r animal of the reptile class, is the Horned Frog, which is | common in Texas, although it was fora long as a fabulous creature. The Tarantula is an inhabitant also, and an ugly one. Cantharides are also found, but not in great abundance. Bees swarm on every tree, almost. Dr. Paige continued to read a variety of interesting in- formation on Texas, and concluded by an extract ot letter from a settler, which appeared two or three days ago in one of the city paps ‘A vote of th e¢ held inks Was wnanimously recorded to Dr. for his valuable communication, Sorte €0 De-P | Mr. Wa ing introduced to ‘he meet- ing, submi of specimens very superior | kind of oil-stone, called the Arkansas stone.

The Sonetany next said that the subject for the day pes now in order, being ‘Substitute for a short Crop of lay.” ‘The discussion of this was not general, and did not last long.

CaLtout anp James K. Pouk.—Yesterday there was a pretty good muster on the Beacon Course, Hoboken, to see those celebrated horses once more come together. The match was the best three in five for $1,000 James K. Polk was driven by Albert Conklin, and John C, Calhoun by Wm. Whelen. The betting previous to the start was two to one against a named horse for winner. After some ten or a dozen atternpts at a start, they went forth, J. C, Calhoun taking the lead about two lengths in front; but atthe drawgate James K. Polk went up and collared him, and went in front, leading him some six or eight A. sy at the quarter in 39 seconds ; they remained in this position to the half mile pole in Im. 12s. Round the top James K. Polk appeared to pullin somewhat to allow the other to get up, andat the drawgate Calhoun made up some little lee way, but of little use, James K. Polk came in a winner some two or three lengths in front in 2:334. In this heat J. C. Calhoun lost his fore shoe. There was considerable fend and grumbling be- fore the second heat came off, in consequence of Mr. Whelan’s driving ; he would first pull up as they reached the score, then he made a break just as he approached it. _ Many said that this was done for the purpose of fatiguing the other, and loud and long were the murmurs thereat ; but, perhaps this was not altogether unavoidable, though it appeared in many instances to the contrary. After this difficulty had been got over they went forth, Calhoun takii the lead, and shortly after broke but soon recovered, and at the helf mile, which was done in Im. 18s. Polk took the lead which he maintained round the top, where Calhoun made a brush for it, apparently PE aa litt e, but not of material consequence, and J. K. Polk came in much as before in 2.31. The third heat at the start, or rather the attempt for such, was much as before ; at Jength they got well otf together, the Polk taking the lead, and ap- are. to be running away from the other altogether. They reached the half mile in Im. 16s. Round the top Calhoun appeared to gain on the leader, and down the straight side towards home still more se ; Whelan plied his whip pretty freely, but not with much success, for the other came home a length in front in 2m. 39., winning the stake. Previous to the start it speared as if both horses were lame, one in the fore legs, and the other in the hind off leg. This will somewhat account for the time made on this occasion. s Sketch In the Elysian Fields, Hoboken— Grand Regatta—Mustering of the Yachts— Amusements, &e. Moaday was one of those beautiful days in which ull those who could possibly avail themselves of the opportunity, did so, to enjoy the cool and re- freshiag breeze of the river near the Elysian Fields, away from the burning heat of the high temperature of the city and its environs. The gentle shower of the previous evening drew many forth, and at an early hour mightbe seen the most delightful of all par ties—fiumilies enjoying themselves beneath the shady foliage with which this beautiful retreat abounds. In one spot might be seen an individual stretched at full length on the greensward, viewing in silence and solitude the flow of the majestic Hudson be- neath his feet. Then again on the right a troop of juveniles, in the hey-day of youth, amusing them selves ina game of romp; while a little further on might be seen the youthful mother and her tender otispring calmly enjoying the scene around, while leaning on the arm ot him to whom she now and then looked up to with poe and affection. Then again might be seen other parties, having in their midst a certain description of locomotive cradles, neatly covered over to iets from the sun’s pierc- ing rays the precious burdens therein contained, while the more adult carried in their hands baskets, W&ce., showing that they had not been unmindful of the creature comforts of this life, while they en- joyed its most pleasant scenes. To the sylvan shades abounding neur this spot most of these wend- ed their way, to partake of what nature and indus- try haa bestowed upon them, and here it was that the most hypochondriacal might feel satisfied that this earth still afforded something worth living for and enjoying, in peace and contentment, with his fellow man. Nor was this all that this delightful spot afforded. A series of entertainments are given every afternoon, of the most novel and chaste description. In front of Mr. M’Carty’s hotel is erected a stage, havin, its back towards the river, by about 20 feet wide an as many deep. On this three of the most popular artistes of the day make their appear- ance, displaying a variety of novelties calcu- lated to inspire the audience with useful knowledge and admiration. Among these are young Francisco, generally termed the “ Fakir of Angelina,” in which there are but few that can surpass him, par- ticularly in his Hindoo miracles. The Misses Bar- ber’s dancing is af once chaste and elegant, and their vocal powers of a very respectable order. These having been amply enjoyed, generally afford the the highest gratification, terminating with unbound- ed spplangas The enjoyinent of the day is concluded with another stroll through these pleasant grounds, and all returned homeward, gratified, invigorated— the bonds of love and friendship drawn closer and closer together. " 3 The foregoing are daily scenes in this delightful neighborhood, but yesterday there were still further attractions. It was announced that the New York Yacht Club would muster off this spot at 12 o’clock. At the entrance of the Elysian Fields amid a grove of trees, was erected a wooden halt Gothic and Swiss building of about 40 feet long by 20 wide, and 30 high, having four large diamond pointed wyndows on each side, and large doors at each end Un the outside, around the {building, is a piazza of about five feet wide, where a Pelee or cheeroot may be enjoyed in the shade, without be‘ngan annoyance toanyone. At the back is, erected ample cooking apparatus. This building is intended asa dining room for the Yacht Club ,and such other large and respectable bodies as may wish to adjourn to this spot on a like oceasion, and will forma great ac- quisition to the proprietors, and add to thejattraction of the place. The energy of the Messrs. Stevens may be understood,when it is known that oa Thurs- day last the foundation of the building was laid which now forms such an attractive feature among the many here to be enjoyed. Shortly after 12 o’clock the yacht Coquille moored off the spot, the commander of which, J. C. Jay, Esq., who is the Secretary of the Club, immediately landed and hoisted the club flag on the flag staff in tront of the Hall. It is a large white flag having a large star in the centre with twenty-five other stare verging off at five points. The Coquille is a centre boat of a most beautiful construction fitted up in first rate style, with every comfort and accommoda- tion. She is 44 feet 6 inches in length on deck; 14 feet 6 inches in beam; draws 4 feet ¥ inches of wa- ter; her tonnage is 273, American measurement, about 13 tons English, and has about 35 feet hoist o1 mainsail The Cygnet, Captain Wm. Edgar, came to an- chor shortly after. She is 52 feet long, 15 wide, draws 8 feet water; 44 tons burthen. _ The Minna followed in a:horttime. She is a keel boat of about 30 American tons; 6 feet between decks; 42 feet long, 14 wide, and is of the most beau- tifal construction. The Adda, Capt. Rogers, next came up. She is a centre small boat, about 26 feet 8 inches long, 12 feet 9 inches broad, 4 feet 3 inches deep, draws 3 teet9 inches water, and 3 feet forward, having a most beautitul broadside, About two o'clock, the Commodore, J. H. Ste- vens, Esq., on board the “ Gimerack” hove in sight, vnd came to anchor close to the others. ptains Jay and Edgar of the Coquille and Cygnette, went immediately on board and reported themselves The Commodore appeared surprised that the other vessels were not on the station as directed ; and ac- counted for his own backwardness in having to pro- vide for the squadron under considerable disadvan- tages as to time, &e., which appeared perfectly satis- factory. The *Gimcrack” is a centre built boat, about 50 feet long, with 11 feet beam, draws 6 feet water, with stretchers to her mainsail. She has been tresh painted and cleaned, and looks remarka- bly well, and no doubt in the forthcoming contest will give a good account of herselt. Shortly alter, the “ Lancet,” Capt. G. Rollins, hove to. She is 22) tons, 37 feet long, sharp built, draws 8 feet 4 inches water,and about 14 feet beam, copper bottomed and fasteved ; a most beautful boat, and looks every thing that could be wished. Moet of the commanders of the other boats shortly sfler made their appearance, and accounted for the absence of their vessels, by stating that they were undergoing repairs, cleaning, &c preparatory to the great match on Thursday. ‘A most ample and sump- tuous dinner was provided for the occasion, but as the affair was wholly private, to make rules and regulations for the future {eat sind of the club, and of no public interest, of course we do_not pub- lish the proceedings. The whole went off with the greatest satisfaction, There is little doubt but that in a short time, this association will become the leading nautical club in the United States. The following is a list of the different vessels be- longing to the Club for the present season :-— The “Gimerack,” John H. Stevens, Esq. Commodore. The “Spray,” J. Hamilton Wilkes ksq. Vice Com’re.

The primi+ tive growth of the 1orests, where not convenient to iransport for firewood, 18 still abundant; and the se- condary growth of pines so dense and extensive, that roads not much used are soon so obscure that aone but the foresters can find them; hence a stran- ger 18 certain to lose his way if he be too exclusive to enquire of the inhabitants, who are civil to the traveller. Highway robberies have been less frequent since the last man was hanged for it. But, only a few days ago one of the natives, who had carried fréslt meat to market at July Court, returning home after dark, was set upon by a notorious petty thief, who at the onset succeeded in knocking him senseless out of his cart with a long pole, and commenced ri- fling his pockets for the tew shillings he got for his meat. The market man at this juucture recovered; und seized the robber, whom he found to be Mass Russitt, one of the desperate gang who tor years have escaped detection. Rives tied him and carried him to jail, and if he is found guilty he will certainly be hanged. : r The natives are opposed to making magistrates of religious men, and generally in cases of felony the accused has been permitted to object to religious men on the jury. It is sustained on the ground of bias, prejndioe snd partiality. The professor of reli- gion does not see and feel through the same medium with the man of the world,or he whose walks of life is among the masses. I remember, not long since, a fellow named Hardo, one of those thieves who rob and steal on all occasions (and whose cunning aided by as cunning an attorney, has made hum notorious) burned a house ofhis neighbor; it was clear from the evidence he had committed the deed, and if he had fallen into the hands of a northern id would have been found guilty. But Hardo challenged every re- ligious man and every temperance man on the jury, which caused much merriment in the court, who, however, sustained him on the ground that he should be tried by his peers. One of the challenged said he was not religious, but Hardo proved he had been baptised, and the objection was held good. He was cleared without leaving the jury box, amid the shouts and laughter of all present. The magistrates get no pay for their services, and the people have be- come so turbulent that gentlemen of fortune refuse to act, of course then this ancient aristoctacy is now represented in the persons of the ‘lower crust,” as you term them, and it frequently occurs that their genealogy and iow origin is thrown up to them whilst sitting onthe bench. They may orderthe traverser to jail, but to get him there they are obliged to execate the order themselves. The sheriff and constables refuse, and tell the poor magistrate to be cool and keep his temper, and that the offender was beneath his notice. Twenty years ago the terrors of the law prevented the commission of crime, but since the 4th of March, 1829, every man has imbibed the inde- pendent spirit of that great man and warrior, Gene- ral Jackson, and “I take the responsibility” is the justification for every infraction of the rights of oth- ers, and for every vivlation of the law. But, after all, Mr. Bennett, the people are better off than with you—the females are more economical, more indus- trious, more virtuous and more independent than they are at the north. There are no widows, and very few girls unmarried who are marriagable. Provisions of all kinds are abundant, and the Po- tomac furnishes plenty of fish all the year round.—- The people (except very few, such as lawyers and preachers) spin and weave their own clothing, and many families use neither coffee or tea. Milk, in the summer, is as plenty here as drinking water is in Texas at this season. Very little money serves; and cows and calves are only worth five to ten dol- lars. Small farms of 100 acres rent for twenty dol- lars, and the best farms for one hundred dollars per annum. The orchards are numerous, and cider is as cheap as with you, and equally as good. Free negroes own land. and live with as few restraints as those in New York. They have many privileges the New York negro has been deprived of, such as driving hacks, cabs, and carts, for transportation as common carriers. They ure the chief boatmen and teamsters we have, and are the most numerous hucksters for the Washington city market. Slaves are, with some exceptions, treated with patriarchal kindness, and live just as well as their masters. any discontent is discovered, it is immediately traced to the preachers, who, for the life of them, cannot avoid saying something deploring the con- dition of the poor slave—his ignorance, his degrada- tion, and his wrongs. This sets the negro to think- ing, and his sulky, sullen demeanor is goon followed by his desertion Lumpermnc on THE St. Lawrence.—The Mon- treal correspondent ef the Bochester Democrat, (a capital letter writer for the place,) describes what he saw on the 22d June:—From my window this morning 22 large lumber rafts are in sight, destined fer Quebec. All are contented, and happily plying the oar, with a song. All strike with precision, and all appear to enjoy them- selves. They get at the destined port and then re- turn by steamer, and before they reach home their mo- ney is generally gone, and they ore again eager to re- peat the voyage. "In this particular, they much resem- ble the crew of a man of war that arrives at New York. They are paid off—a spree follows—money gone, and ready for shipment. ‘The lumber business at Quebec continues very pros- perous. ‘The ships arriving there from Europe for load- ing, had reached 672, against 442 up to the same time last season. The number of emigrants arrived up to Thurs- day last was 12,860, Ships cleared this season, 308, leaving 364 in port. Several rafts of lumber from the UI tg States had arrived at Quebec, mostly from St. Lawrence county, and sales made readily at good prices. Prices—white pine timber in the raft, 10 to 13 cents per foot; red pine 40 feet, averago, 20 cents ; oak, 25 cents ; elm, 22 to 25; ash, 10to 12; birch, 20 to The duty on American lumber, $5 per M. The loss of raftsmen on the Ottawa river the present season is enormous,eighty- oue persons having found a watery grave. TriaL or Green ror Tue Murver or ms Wire. This trial, a synopsis of which we copied from the Troy Budget, oceupied the whole of the last, and runs into the presont week, As the jury are not allowed to see newspapers, until the trial is over, there can be no harm in saying that the testimony discloses one of the most deliberate, cold-blooded murders that we have ever read. Green had been married but a short time to a beau- tiful, affectionate, and confiding girl of 18, he being 22.— Without any provocation or cause, (for when she was dy- ing she appealed to him to say whether she had ever de- ceived him, orin any way conducted improperly, and was answered in the negative) this monster dosed her, day and night, with arsenic, which he put into her cof- fre, her chicken broth and her medicine, standing by her bedside unmoved while the poison was agonizing her with pain! And w' more strange than fiction, is the fact that this poison was ‘repeatedly administered while persons around the sufferer were witnessing its deadly effects. ‘The victim herself, though apparent! conscious t! her husband was murdering her, tool whatever he offered.
