NEW YORK HERALD. New York, Friday, July 25, 1s&5. The Weekly Herald. This publication will be illustrated with two spleo- did views and a map of the Great Fire of Saturday It will contain the full particulars of the dreadtu calamity ; the late foreign news, &c. Xe. Copies, in or out of wrappers, can be had at8 o’clock to- morrow morning, at sixpence each. The Harmonious Cabinet and United Demo- cracy- It is really amusing co observe the pertinacity— the zealous and uhwearying perseverance with which our venerable and good hearted contempora- ty of the Union, government organ, insists upon it that the present cabinet is the most harmonious set of gentlemen that ever sat at the council board of the nation. The very angel of peace himself, Father Ritchie assures us again and again, never for a moment ceases, even in this hot weather, to fan the cabinet with his dove like wings, and the atmosphere of the administration is one of univer- sallove and charity. In fact, the members of the cabinet are the only real bona fide “ sons of harmo- ny” tobe found amongst the men of this genera- tion—that is according to the finding of our affec- tionate friend of the Union. Mr. Ritchie qualifies, however, his assertions of the perfect union ot the members of the cabinet with a degree of naiveté quite charming. He infomns us that there is not any greater variety of opinion amongst them on the great question of the day than would hav: existed amongst any of their predecessors. This is really pretty near the mark, but as a corroborative argument in favor of the alleged extraordinary har- mony subsisting in the Cabinet is a good deal of a une sequitur. Any one, however, at all well ac- quainted with the workings of human. nature, albeit bur little familiar with the schemes, and manners, and plans and intrigues of members of Cubinets,wili be but little influenced indeed by these repeated and vehement assertions of the Union relative to the brotherly love of the members of the administra- tion. But why this so evident anxiety to convince the people that unbroken harmony exists in the Ca- binet?) Why does Father Ritchie recur to the sub™ ject again and again, on each occasion, with added zeal and vehemence ?- Why does he find it neces- sary to parade in his columns long strings of extracts from obscure journals, of whose existence no one knows beyond their own narrow limits, setting forth the extreme admiration with which “the democra- cy” regards this and that member of the Cabinet, and the perfect confidence reposedin all? The reason is obvious. There is trouble in the camp — The old serpent hasentered the paradise of Father Ritchie, and discord and disunion have begun their work. The desires of Mr.’Ritchie to create the impres_ sion, in spite of certain unpleasant facts to the con. trary, that allis peace in the camp, are natural and proper. A very important crisis in the history of the administration is approaching. Before many days its fate will be in a great measure determined.— After the first collision of the opposing elements it will be seen whether Mr. Polk’s career is destined to be one of strength, success, and popularity, or one of weakness, failure and disgrace. In sucha view of the case, it becomes very interestiug and impor- tant to examine the condition of the democratic party itself—that party on whom the administration must, of course, rely for its support. It is agreat mistake to suppose that an administration neces rily possesses in itself the elements of power and success. It is not so. The case of Mr. Tyler illustrated that in a manner snfficiently emphatic and intelligible. If, indeed, the head of the administra- tion be a personage whose own name is a tower of strength—a man who, like Jackson, is able to rule the hearts and ntellects of great masses of the people. or ifthe administration be unitedly and zealously sustained by the party that elected it—then it can wield tremendous influence. But when the Presi. dent, asin the case of Mr. Polk, oweshis election not solely to personal merit, but to adventitious cir- cumstanees—to a policy of expediency adopted by contending factions and the same party, who give up for the moment their intestine quarrels—with- draw their leaders—and in order to effect the safety of all against the common enemy, in the hour of ex. treme peril, take up one of the captains who is fortu- nate enough to present no very tangible point on which the prejudices of the various opposing sections can precipitate themselves, then the case is widely different—the administration may create strength— it may obtain a vigorous and controlling influence ; but it does not enter on its career with those un- born and natural elements of power possessed by an administration of that opposite character to which we have already alluded. And it is well for Mr Polk to bear this wholesome truth in mind. Let him not be deceived either by circumstances which will often warp the most careful and wary judgment Let him not be misled by flaming articles, full of eulozy and adulation, copied from obscure country prints into the columns of his organs ; nor by com- munications in the same vein from very disin- terested and anonymous office-beggars in the same quarter. Well, then, 1s the democracy united? All may Appear to some eyes calm, peacetul, and unruffled as the bosomof a summer lake. But it is the calm that precedes the tempest. A terrible storm isapproach- ing. Hundreds and hundreds of disappointed, pro- scribed, and restless men, are at work all over the country, busily engaged in sowing the seeds of dis- contertand disunion. They are gradually marshal- ling themselves under the banners of the various cliques engaged in the preliminary struggles for the “succession.” The quarrels and contests between the different factions, postponed by the nomination of Mr. Polk and the subsequent successful effort for his election, have been renewed. Every movement of the administration will be watched and improved and opposed, and supported, and attacked, and abu- sed, Just as it may be supposed best for their own selfish ends, by these various contending cliques. The whigs also, internally distracted by the same unending struggle for the “succession,” present a bold and formidable front of opposition. Besides all these ordinary sources of annoyance and embarrass- ment, it is also to be remembered that questions of great delicacy and paramount importance must be settled some way or other during the term ot this ad ministration, Thus on all hands, Mr. Polk is sur- rounded with difficulty, and danger. His only chances of safety are in a bold, vigorous, and popu- lar a¢tion in accordance with the great impulses of the masses—a rather more rigid adherence to the Jeffersonian with respect to appointments and re- movals, with the annunciation of which he began his administration—a steady and decisive course with regard to the succession—and the support— which in case ofthe maintenance of this cause, must follow—of the independent journalism of the coun- try—the organ of the people, before whom all mere organs of cliques, or administrations must ever sub- mussively yield. ————___ Mexican Arrains.—The steam frigates Princeton and Mississippi will probably be on their way to-day or to-morrow for the Gulf of Mexico, the former from Philadelphia and the latter from Boston. They have both heen put in complete order for war ser- Tue Formex News—Paciric Aprearances.— The news brought by the late steamers is un- usually flat. Those who expeeted to be enlivened and enlightened by intelligence of a stirring or won- terful kind, are disappointed. Like ourselves, our Curopean connections—for friends it is rathermuch to call them—are enjoying a cessation from politi cal agitation and social disquietude, which would appear to be toa certain degree necessary concom- mitants of social progression, but which, on the other side of the Atlantic, often assume an appalling, and peculiarly repulsive aspect. We are not to sup- pose, however, that this calm is to be permanent; the winds are but retired into their unseen rocky caverns. Perhaps, at this instant, they are gather- ing their pent up force, to dash out on the work of revolution. Perhaps the repressed violence ef the masses is but restrained fora day by temporary causes. The glories of midsummer creation may soothe—the grateful abundance of harvest may propi- tiate—a demand for labor may employ, for a little, the masses, but the day of discontent must come ; peace and contentment are, unfortunately, but inci- dental, while the spirit of resistance, and the sense of injury, are sad and enduring characteristics of the people of the old world. The French minister seems thus to reason; he asked, and obtained from the Chambers, sup- plies of money to sustain an army of 360,000 men. To reason on this fact, it would be difficult to prognosticate a ten years peace for France. She has a population of over thirty millions; and to those it appears a standing army of 360,000 is necessary to keep them at least in quiet obedience to Louis Philippe, if not in absolute good order, and good humor with their actual condition. Sir Robert Peel is using bribes, instead of bay- onets, for the purpose of conciliating those pro- vokingly intractable Irish, who have got, for once, a settled notion in their "heads—and that is, that they know more about their own affairs than the English do—that they care more about their individual comfort, and national pros- perity than the British aristocracy ever did, or cando; and that upon the whole, there is neither pleasure, nor profit, nor honor, to be gained by the prolonged employment of foreign legislators, to forge laws for Ireland now, as they did fetters in other days. It would appear that the bait will not take ; the frish clergy say that money is useful in its own way, but may be made extremely mis- chievous in the hands of cunning statesmen. They are, nevertheless, strongly of opinion, that it is no’ all powerful, and even in the hands of Sir R. Peel cannot purchase the assent of Ireland to be educa- ted ina manner which conscience forbids. There is a temporary quiet in that country apparently ; and yet perhaps at no time within the memory of the oldest, was there such a mass of intellect in ac. tive exercise in relation to its affairs. People have not seen half of the great mental and moral war that has yet to shake the Isles into their propriety. Cne of the most striking changes that are now im- pending in what is called the United Kingdom, is that in the relations between landlord and tenant No trifling results may be expected to follow the laborious and extensive researches of the commis- sion which has been at work in Ireland. From the tone of the journals representing the cause of the aristocracy, it is clear they are trembling with ter- ror, Some of these papers are indulging in most doleful howlings at the prospect before them. Late transactions in Scotland, have given an increased prominence to this subject, and left an indelible im- pression on the public mind, of the cruelty of the land-owners. Whole districts have been here depo- pulated,whole families of hardy and laborious High- landers have been expelled fromm their farms by the Duke of Sutherland, in the most relentless and wreckless manner, for no other reason than to test a new theory of tillage. Through the influence of the press, the enormity of the whole proceeding has been exposed, and a voice of execration has gone abroad, that will greatly contribute to redress the wrongs of the oppressed peasantry. The news from other parts of Europe are of a tri- vial nature, but it would be a mistake to infer from present appearances that peace is established upon a sure foundation. Elements of discord are rife in Spain, in Portugal, and the Ottoman empire, while the autucrat of Russia 1s watching like the great condor of the Andes, to pounce upon his prey. It is aconsolation that one place of refuge is open from the storms generated by corruption and despotism— that in this vast hemisphere a gladdeningand cheer- tul sky shines for those who love liberty well enough fo seek the inspiring rays Tue Saurrerre D1scvsston.—It is doubtless highly desirable that the true cause of the late disas- trous explosion which took place during the fire should be ascertained. People feel a strong curiosity on the point, and it is notto be wondered that they do, when the degree to which their personal safety is involved in such occurrences is borne in mind But at the same time there 1s a useless expenditure of words on the question of the power of saltpetre to produce an explosion. We see one writer coming out with his reasons in the affirmative, and another opposes him forthwith in no less plausible and positive language. We hope that this will not tend to carry away the attention of the authori- ties from the main enquiry, which is—What was the explosive substance in this case? If it be thought necessary to the question to test the explo- sibility of saltpetre, the proper way isto have the counsel of one of our first-rate chemists at once; a few lines from a good authority would save the trouble of writing and reading whole chapters, that at best must be unsatisfactory and profitless. Mitirary Movements.—The New Haven Greys, Captain Tollis, arrived yesterday morning, and pa- raded down Broadway to the Battery, escorted by the Lafayette Fusileers. They mustered over forty muskets, and were accompanied by their respective bands, and presented quite a soldierly appearance. The Hartford Light Guards, Captain T. H. Sey- mour, also arrived yesterday, They came last from Albany. On account of the fatigue and indisposi- tion of some of the members, they took the remain- ing part of the day to rest themselves. This morn- ing, at 100’clock, they will visit the Arsenal, after which they will probably adjourn to the Park, where they contemplate to have adrill. We cannot say much about their skill in the ranks, not yet having seen them under arms, but to judge by their general appearance we doubt not that they will make a hand- some military display. The Independence Guards, of this city, Capt Cairns, accompanied by Dodworth’s Cornet Band, intend visiting Boston on the 25th of August. Vistr or THe Unxicorn.—The visit of this steam ship is a mysterious one. No one can positively tell what has brought her to this city. As she had se- veral passengers, and as only one name was given to the public, her visit becomes still more strange and suspicious. It isthe general opinion that she brought important despatches to the British minis- ter, and will await the instructions of Mr. Packen- ham. It is supposed by some, however, that she is here to be governed by the orders of Capt, Elliott, “the man with the white hat ;” and that her presence has something to do with the recent movements in Texas and Mexico. New York Gattery or Fine Arrs.—This in- vice ; their dandy looks painted over, and a black hull given to each. They will join the Gulf squad. ron, now under the command of Com. Conner—the “ Quaker Commodore,” as he is called, but Quaker only in appearance, ‘The American naval force on the coast ot Mexico will be quite large, when it all reaches its destina- ‘ion. Including vessels of various size; there will we two hundred serviceable guns, from a mighty Paixhan to a twenty-four pounder, all of which can be brought to bear on any given point in a week's votice. This large force is placed in the Gulf to ny little contingency that may hap- stitution is again put in order, and all the arrange. ments finished which were attendant upon its remo- val to its new location, the Rotunda in the Park ‘To-day there is to be a private opening, to which many of the friends of the institution have been in- vited by circulars addressed to them. Of course, cu- niosity to see how it looks in its new abode will bring out a good number. Coon Wratnkn —Yesterday was a cool, com- fortable day. The thermometer at 77°, and the air clear and bracing. Axrivat or anoturn Texan.—Gen, G ox W. Ter. vill, ‘Texan Minister to France and gland, arriy- \ ed on Wednesday, in the Cornelia, irom Liverpool. | Theatricals. Park ‘THeatrs.—The third representation of La Jurve, will take place to-night. This opera, which has been attended by very full and fashionable sndiences, at its former representations, truly de- serves the patronage which has been bestowed upon t by the public. The talent arrayed,which has not been yet contested—its great beauty as a musical composition—the magnificence of the sceneries, and the precision of all, is such as to draw general admi- ration. We have not heard of any dissenting voice in the general expression of public opinion on this subject, and all the artists engaged in this opera have been overwhelmed with praises and applauses. Mlle. Calvé, Messrs. Arnaud, Douvry, Cceuriot, and Garry, have all had their share in the approba- tion of the public, and if M’me. Casini has not shared so largely in the good will of the audience» it is only on account of her great want of confi” dence, which prevents her from‘giving to her fine voice, the extent of which it is susceptible, and makes her at times appear rathercold. Yet in some passages when M’me. Casini, forgetting the presence of the public in the enthusiasm of the artist, has allowed her talent to appear, she also has much pleased the audience who have been thus enabled tu perceive the cause of her want of animation. We sincerely deplore this timidity, and hope that a suc- cession of good parts in the operas that will be rep- resented hereafter, will make her overcome entirely that diffidence so prejudicial to herself. The chorusses have also been much applaued, ¢ i ally in the drinking chorus, which they sang with perfect ensemble and precision. In toto, this opera is, perhaps, the grandest thing that ever appeared on any stage, in this country, and great credit is to be given to all the artists, and those who through good management have brought it be- fore the public with such splendor. ,All having expressed themselves well pleased with the opera we doubt not but, to-night, it will be again very nu- merously and fashionably attended. Mrs. Mowarr —This lady, after receiving the highest possible proofs of the great regard in which she is held by the patrons of Niblo’s Garden, pro ceeds to Butfulo, to rulfil a short engagement, pre- vious to which, at the solicitation of many of her friends, she will delight them again by another per- formance this evening, when she is to sustain two new characters, LadyFreelove, in the ‘Day after the Wedding,” and Duchess, in ‘Faint Heart never won Fair Lady.” We hear Mr. Henry Placide is_to ar. pear on Monday next. Cast.£ Garven.—To-night is the farewell appear- ance of La Signora Pico, at this fine place of resort’ We recommend to those who have not yet had the pleasure of hearing her, to make a call at the Garden to see her before she leaves, as La Signora Pico is a lady of no common meritas a singer, and to hear her is well worth the trouble of going. The other parts of the performances are also well deserving the at- yention of the amateurs. VauxnaLt Garven.—This establishment is still attended by very large and fashionable houses.— This does not surprise us for the peiformances are unusually attractive. The bill for to-night presents great attraction, and we may safely suppose that it will be patronized by a numerous audience. More than 13,000 persons visited Welch & Dela- van’s New Yorkcireus during their four days sojourn in Buffalo. Their entertainments are spoken of as surpas- sing anything of the kind ever offered to that commu- nity. Welch & Mann's national cireus company are daily congregating great numbers together in Canada.— They make their public entry into the city of Montreal on Monday next. is the most splendid establish- nent that ever visited Canada, numbering the greatest variety of male and temale performers, of the greatest talent, and the most beautiful stud of horses. These will doubtless command their usual amount of success. Mr. Van Muxen, a pupil! of Vieuxtemps, is giving concerts in Montreal. Report speaks of him in the high- est terms, as being in every respect a credit to his tutor The Infant Sisters and Walter Ferguson, the pi- per, were giving concerts in Cleveland. The Misses Hussey are giving concerts in Nan- tucket. The Etheopian Serenaders, after avery succe: ful visit to Philadelphia, are about to visit Newport, ratoga, and other parts, and will return to this city about the end of August. Seth Boon, the Kentucky whistler, continues to attract and delight by his wonderful performances at the Albany Museum. Mr. C. W. Clark, late of the Park, is engaged at the same establishment. Signor Antognini and M. Gibert, gave a concert at the American, Buffalo, on the 2ist. M. Gibert, bears the reputation of great talent as a vocalist. Miss Huber presided at the piano forte. Sig. Valtelini will give concerts in Providence, Newport, Saratoga, and parts adjacent, previous to his departure for Eurepe. Mr. and Mrs. Walcot are at the Baltimore Mu- seum, which is flourishing considerably under the stage management of Mr Walcot. M. Artot has been appointed first violin to her majesty the Queen of Spain. Mr. and Mrs. Waliack appeared at the Walnut street theatre on Tuesday evening. The directors of the Federal street Theatre have concluded to remodel the Odeon into a theatre again — The lease of the present proprietors does not expire, however, till September, 1846, and ere that time arrives the directors may have changed their minds. Mrs. Maeder, the wife of a talented professor of music, gave acondert on Tuesday evening, assisted by i ee and Mr. and Mrs. G. H. Andrews, in Hait- ford. Mr. W. V. Wallace gave aconcert at the Hano- ver Square rooms, London, lately, which was crammed on the occasion. Madame Doria Gras, Miss Dolby, Mar- ras, and Vieux Temps appea: ‘The papers say that Mr’ Wallace’s playing was remarkable for energy, sur- prising mechanical dexterity, and effective variety of ex. pression. He was much applauded throughout. Drury lane Theatre, London, owes its name to Sir Wm. Drury, who was acommander inthe Irish wars. In his house the unfortunate Earl of ex, thi orite of Elizabeth, frequently held, counsel with his friends, relating to the rash enterprise which caused his death. Americas Institute Versus THe Corroration.— A meeting of the American Institute was held last night, when, after the conduct ot the Corporation in giving the Institute notice to quit the premises at present occupied by them, underwent a severe scru- tiny and condemnation. A committee composed of the officers, trustees, and some members of the body was voted to take proper and immediate steps in the matter. Tuosr Stars.—The Union of the 22nd inst., almost swears that the seven stars do not mean Ritchie. Why not swear outright and let us have the truth? Will not seven and tive stars spell Ritchie and Heiss ? Tue Oregon Question.—The negociations on this question are still in progress in Washington. There has lately been a correspondence on the subject be tween Messrs. Buchanan and Pakenham. Are the differences in the cabinet on this question all healed 1 Foreian Iysurance.—Owing to the recent great fire, our merchants have reinsured their property in Boston to the amount of $4,000,000. Other cities, Philadelphia, Hartford, and Baltimore, have proba- bly obtained several risks. Dr. Rers.—It will be seen on reference to the proceedings before the Board of Supervisors, that the case of Dr. Rees has been further postponed to ‘Tuesday next. | (mecca Minera Lanps ar tHe }West.—Owing to the great number of permits to enter and make locations on the mineralflands about LakeSuperior already issued the Secretary of War haa suspended the further issue of them, and notified the applicants of his determination, hy % to each @ letter, of which the following isa) Wan Derantmenr, Washington, July 19, 1845, Six :~Should locations be made pursuant to the per- mits already issued from this department, to select lands in the lake Superior mineral district, the quantity re quired to satisfy them would exceed one million one hundred thousand acres, It is apprehended that the whole region open for location may not contain ¢ quantity of mineral lands, Explorations and surveys of | these lands have been ordered, and it has been determin- | ‘ed to suspend the further e of ap sults shall be made known.

The intelligence does not appear to be of any importance. There is one item in the news, however, worth mentioning—namely, that there isa strong desire among the Texans to censure President Jones, to displace him in fact from all authority,for the course he has taken on the annexation question. We thought he would come to this er something worse, for his coquetting in the business, {From the N. O. Picayune, July 16.) As yet we have no intelligence of the proceedings of the Convention at Austin, that body commencing its ses- sion on the 4th, and it taking some six or seven days for news to reach Galveston. The Galveston News of the oth instant, publishes the Mexican and Texan correspondence in relation to inde- pendeuce—perhaps we should call it the propositions made by the, Texan Secretary of State to the Mexican Government—ia which Anson Jones, Baron Alleye de Cyprey, Senor Cuevas, and particularly Ashbel Smith, figure so extensively, and in relation to this pretty diplo- matic jumble holds the following comments : We to-day give our readers the correspondence (so far as committed to writing or made public) between our Government and Mexico, relative toa treaty of Inde- pendence. “ These very interesting and important pa- pers” (socalled by President Jones,) have been the re- sult of the * good offices” of England and France acting in concert in behalf of Texas. It appears that our Congress rejected these preliminary terms of President Jones unanimously. ‘Thus they have decided between the alternatives of “ peace with all the world and Independence” on the one hand, and “ Annexa- tion and its contingencies” on the other. Thus they have contemptuously spurned the “ valuable services” of the French Minister in Mexico, of the Hon. Ashbel Smith in ‘Texas, and of President Jones, Capt. Elliott, the frigate Eurydice and “the man in wi hat” ether nt of susceptibilitie: their * ip’—their “ mutual good offices” —have gone for nothing. What a memorable in- stance of the ingratitude of Republic cypher this salmagundi of folly, absurdity, diss hypocrisy, treachery and treason? What a lesson of hu- miliation to the independent Republic of ‘Texas! A tghly respectable opponent of Annexation lately de- clared in conversation, that ‘The duplicity, insincerit; and dislomatic coquetry of our Government ciently disgusted the world, but that tl tempt publicly made to claim credit for such dishonora- ble inposture, had disgusted him with our separate ex. istence asa nation.” A volume of commentary upon these disgraceful transactions could not bring their real character, with 80 much force of truth, to the conviction of every honest man. It is tobe hoped that we have uow seen the last of those preposterous sinuosi this diplomacy en masque. It is now the business of the Conveution to cleanse the Augen stables. But this is indeed a Herculean te 3 for we have so long been groping in the dark that itis now difficult for any man to see clearly. It is almost time for us to hear aeectataly from Ash- bel Smith and his doings in England. It will be a funny meeting should he and Capt. Elliott come together, and we should like to see them comparing notes and talking over Texas matters. The Galveston Civilian contains President Jones’ veto of the bill re-instating Com. Mooie to his rank in the na- vy. Itas a wordy document; so long that we have no room for it. A new steamboat, called the Kate Ward, was launched at Matagorda a few days since. She is 110 feet keel and 24 feet beam, and is calculated to carry 600 bales of cot- ton in 3 feet water. She isto runonthe Colorado, and during the coming season will probably reach as high a point as La Grange. [From N. 0. Bulletin, July 16.] An arrival trom Texas yesterday brings advices a few days later. It will be seen in the extracts copied by us from the Texian papers, that on the day of the adjourn- ment of Congres n_ was proposed to the House of Represent: rely censuring the course of President Jones,and recommending to the Convention, about to assemble, his removal and the establishment of a government ad interim until annexation is complete. The motion failed, but the vote in favor of it was strong enough to show in how suspicious and obnoxious a light the Executive is regarded. It is but too apparent that diplomatic coquetry has been carried considerably be- yond the bounds of discretion or morality. ‘The actors ia the intrigue may find it difficult to escape the imputa- tion of shameless dissimulation, and against some, the charge of bribery and treason is already hinted at broadly. Weare ata loss to conjecture upon what ground anattempt will be*made to justify the policy of duplicity and of imposture that has been pursued ; so long as the question of annexation hung in doubt before the American Congress, the practice of a little finesse with other governments might have been allowable as a trick of diplomacy, resorted to for the purpose of stimu- lating the United States and making us jealous and more eager for the bargain. The Galveston News of the Sth instant, contains the proceedings of Congress on the last day of the session, We find that Mr. McLeod proposed in the House of Rep- resentatives the following resolution, censuring Presi- dent Jones, for his conduct during the pendency of the ve toannexation, and recommending ‘0 establish a government ad interim until the Constitution should Fo into effect.” “Resolved by the House of Representatives, That the course of the Executive in relation to the question of an- nexation has been unpatriotic and unwise, attempting to thwart the people in their well-known wish, to re-unite themselves to the great political family of the United States, throw them afloat again upon the troubled sea of a separate existence, to be the sport of a policy hostile to liberty in both hemispheres, and that he may not be enabled to throw further obstacles in the way of this great measure, and ultimately effect its defeat, we recommend to the Convention of the people of Texas to establish a government ad interim, until the Constitution of the State of Texas shall go into effect, as being the most certain, effectual and economical mode of securing our annexation to the United States.” After reading of the resolution, a motion was made to adjourn sine die. The Speaker decided that the House could not adjourn until the resolution was disposed of. jo, of the chair was appealed from, aud the ixtained by a vote of 23 to 14. passed, to continue the old law in relation to foreign judgments under the Sta‘e Government. Ano- ther making it imperative upon all foreign bauks to pro- duce regular exemplifications of their charters, and to show also that they have done no act incurring’ a fortei- ture of the same, before they can sustain a suit against a citizen of the Kepublic or State. Tne funeral solemnities in honor of the memory of General Jackson, were celebrated at Galveston, on the ith, and were such as showed a high degree of respect for his character and service Larer From Havana.—By the arrival of the Em- presario, Capt. Collins, we have full files of Havana papers to the 6th instant. Havana appears to be comparatively healthy for this of the year. In the general cemetry, during the month of June, there were 389 intermeuts—154 whites and 235 blacks. ‘The Tacon theatre was still open, a company of Span- ish comedians giving regular perlormances. Among the establisuments destroyed by tne great fire at Matanzas, were an American hotel and an American coffee house. Our files are atmost entirely barren of local news, and the following letter from our correspondent will show that there is but little stirring :— Havana, July 5, 1845, The glorious Fourth passed off quietly as usal here One ortwo dinner parties were given by some of the leading Americans,and the shipping were decurated with flags on the occasion; but otherwise there was little done.

Wm. Smith was married a few days since, his wife having been dead eighteen days. e murder of Hodges at Nauvoo, is still involved ix mystery. It is said that Hodges disclosed the author oi the deed, which has been kept a secret. ‘The Signal says this crime has been charged by the Young party upon the Smithites, and these last fay it at the door of the Youngites. ‘The murder is unquestion ably connected with some ruffianly combination Natvoo—who were apprehensive that Hodges would make Josures which might not result so comfortably to the We stated in a postscript last week, that the e of the State vs. certain persons charged with the murder o! was dismissed, at the late special court it This was done on the ground that noone appeared to prosecute the case, A late Nauvoo Neighbor contains a long article, de- signed to prove that the office of Patriarch, which Smith assumed, as being the sole survivor of his family, is ot no account alter ail; that there are hundreds, perhaps thousands in the church who hi power to gi the patriarchal blessing. It is evident from the whole article, that its desi stostrip Smith of all power ana influence. The belief seemed to exist, that although Smith has a strong hold upon the affections and cou fidence of the Mormons, and could, if he chose, bring about a new order of things in the Church,— he willsub- mit to the tyranny exercised over him, and take the place among the Mormons which shall be assigned to him by Brigham Young.— Springfield (IUl.) Jour. Fire at PLymproy.—The Satinet factory, owned snd occupied by Messrs. Taylor, was destroyed by ire about three o'clock on Tuesday morning. The grist mull and store adjoining, and the house of Mr. Joseph Cooper, were also burnt at the same time, The factory was insured for $4000, the mill for $500, aud the store for $000.

Military Visits from New York—Fire—Exertion of the Soldiers—Major Lewis (not of Tennessee) and the Great Fire. We have had in our village the last week, every thing appertaining to war. The 2d Regiment N Y, State Aitillery, (Governor’s Guards) rom your city, have been encamped near the village for the ast five days, doing duty as Regulars; and to us vil- ligers it was a pleasing sight—particularly to the la- dies—to see such an imposing force of the bone and sinew of our brother soldiers from New York, to »rotect them in the hour of danger from an invading toe. The camp of the 2d was sauna daily by the eople, and hundreds came some twenty and thirty miles to witness the evolutions of the regiment, which to us gave entire satisfaction. I am happy to say that Col. Tivisgeon and the Messrs. Vassars, together with Capt. \ ht, late Chief Engineer of the Poughkeepsie Fire Department, tendered their civilities to the regiment in the most bountiful man- ner. On Friday evening—being the gala night of the Regiment—the camp was literally jammed by our citizens and those from some twenty or thirty miles, to witness the fire works from the camp, and to hear the concert from the celebrated Brass Band ‘rom your city, under the direction of Mr. Willis. After the concert and fire works were over, the com- wanies (being off duty,) returned to the village, in company with the Band, about 10 o'clock. ‘The Band, in passing the quarters of the Ex-Major Lew- is, halted and Bayes hisquick step and some other splendid pieces of music, after which they repaired ro the Poughkeepsie Hotel, (Mr. Rutzor’s,) where hey amused the company until near 12 o’clock, when the music and all were brought to a stand by the ringing of the Court House bell for a fire some three-fourths to a mile from the village. It being a beautiful moonlight night, the members of the regiment, instead of calling upon their Pough- keepsie Saendk for serenading, repaired to the lire, where, through their exertions, and under the idvice of their old Major, (being an exempt Engi- veer inthe New York Fire Department, before en- tering the military,) the fire was checked, by an as- sistance unexpected by our Poughkeepsie Fire De- partment. I regret to say that when the Major was about em- barking in the 12 o’clock boat, he was informed by gentlemen in the morning boat up, that the fire was raging in the neighborhood ot hisstore. ‘ T understand that a vote of thanks is now in readi- ness to be published in your New York papers from vur selectmen and citizens to the 2d Regiment, not my for their gentlemanly conduct as soldiers while nere, but for i heivexerian In arresting the progress of the fire on Friday night last. City Intellige Annest oF a CounterreiteRr.—Last week, officer Jas. Leonard, of the Second ward, succeeded in arresting a man by the name of Burbank, for passing counterieit coins. Upon examiation hefore the Chief of Police, Burbank made such disclosures that Mr.L. was despatch- ed to Watertown, and he there succeeded inarresting the chief of a gang of counterfeiters, who is now in durance, awaiting his examination by the United States vlarshal. There is great probability that a number oi this gang will eventually be secured. Burbank was a travelling agent between New York and Watertown, and was entrusted with large sums of money by the Banks. Mr. Leonard, who is one of the New Police, de- serves great credit for his promptness and activity on this occasion. : Furrovs Drivine iw tHe Srneets—Yesterday evening as one of our Broadway stage drivers was proceeding trom the Battery towards the Park, he was encountere by # drayman, who appeared as if he wished to drive in front of the omnibus, when a fearful race took place be- tween both parties to the great terror of the passers by, several of whom ran for yi e into many of the stores. They crossed and jostled each other several times, which enaed in the drayman being driven nearly on the sidewalk, in which case a number of ladies must have been torn to pi en by the-wheels. We confidently hope our new cor] eep a watchful eye after dri- vers of vehicles, who are hourly endangering the lives of our citizens. Can any one give us the number of the dray and omnibus. Boanp or Surenvisons.—This Board met last evening, his honor the Mayor in the chair. ‘The minutes of the last meeting were read and ap- roved. abr. Rres.—The Mayon announced that the counsel for the schools (Mr. Nicols) was not prepared to proceed, from illness, with the trial in the case of Dr. Rees, for the present, and wished to take the pleasure of the Board as to the time to which they would adjourn. He thought Monday next at three o'clock would answer. It was subsequently resolved to meet on Tuesday next, when the trial will proceed, and counsel will be engag- ed on both sides. Reports.—In favor of remitting personal tax of Tho- mas Van Worst, T. Bartlet, and R. H.*Turner. Ad- verse to relieving from taxation certain petitioners.

Court Intelligence. Common Firas, July 24—Before Judge Ulshoefter.— Chis was an action of assnmpsit, adjourned over from yesterday, to recover a sum of $250 under the following c'rcumstances:—It appeared that in the month of Sept ‘842, a party named Bobbet applied to the defendant to vire a house in Grand street, which was owned by him (defendant) upon which the defendant told him to cali ona party named Lentz, to whom he had hired fora year snd it was probable he might sell out his interest for » small consideration. Babbett called on Lentz accor- ingly, and the latter agreed to let the store and kitchen tnd another apartment to Babbett for $300 a year. Bal ett then called on Von Wagner to know if any ren! was due by Lentz. Van Wagner replied there was not and Babbett closed the agre it, took possession of the ‘remises, aud occupied them as a grocery store unti! the following December, when he sold out to plaintiff but before the sale was closed the plaintiff and Babbet alled on Van Wagner and stated to him the nature of ‘he arrangement between them, and that the plaintii! would carry out the agreement between Babbett anc ventz, to which Van Wagner agreed. Upon this inter view Babbett paid $50 rent, which was due of the pre nises to Lentz, who paid it overto Van Wagner. | atter then agreed to wait a few days for a vhich was due, and the plaintiff took posses: mises; but in afew days alter Van Wagner issued » andlord’s warrant for six months rent, which he claime: © be due in advance, amounting to $250, seized the plaintiffs goous and sold them. ‘The defence set up was that defendant was justified in selling off to secure his rent, which, he contended, he aad a right to do according to agreement. The Jury rendered a verdict for plaintiff, $244 46, and six cents costs. Charles Osborne William W. Smith.—This was an action of trover to recover the value of a piano, which was set down at $450. It appeared that some time since plaintiff borrowed from defendant $150, leaving the piano is security in his hands, On the Ist of May last, de ot sent to plaintiff stating he wanted to break up house, and requiring plaintiff to take away the piano, and ay the $150 Plaintiff having failed to do so, it war al- J, and also having friled to take up the piano on re a notice to the effect that efendant » ould sellof the instrument in the event ofhis not paying the mone: the piano was sold fora sum of $108, at auction. sub equeotly plaintiff tendered the money, and stated he 4ot no notice of the intention to sell, which defendant contends was duly served.

Semi-CenrTeNniaL AnniveRsaRyY or Unron Cot- trGe.—There was a grand display at Schenectady, on Tuesday. Nearly eight hundred of the surviving two thousand Alumni, who went out with Union’s highest honors, came once more to revive their fond recollections of this hallowed spot. Amongst those pre- sent was theGovernor,Chancellor,Comptroller,Secretary of State and Attorney General. ‘The dinner was prepar- ed under a spacious tent, spread upon the College hill, in the rear ofasmall grove. Upon the Gree betweenthe North and South College, was erecte: tasteful arch of Evergreens, under which the long train of sons marched on the way to the place of feeding. On each end of this grotto was the word—" Salvete”—on th “Salvete Filii Ai Matris.” The address was deli by Mr. Jos. Sweetman, principally consi ofa retrospective and prospective view of the estab! ment. The address was about an hour in the delivery, and was listened to with profound attention to its close, save only when its eloquent appeals called forth enthu- siastic testimonials of approval and applause. A cold ig been amply enjoyed, series of toasts of the usual character were given and responded to, and the whole passed off with honer to all concerned.

The increase thi, year, over the corresponding week last, amounts to one hundred and thirty-three per cent. The coal trade of Pennsylvania is rapidly increasing. The amount of coal required this year to supply the de- mand, will not be much under two millions of tons. The Reading Railroad and the Schuylkill Canal will trans- port from one million to twelve hundred thousand ton Of this quantity, full five-sixths will be brought to mar- ket by the Reading Railroad.

The transportation of coal on the railroad has nearly doubled each year, while the business of the canal has fallen off a about the same proportion. The road must be rapidly improviny value at this rate, while the canal must be lepreciating as rapidly.

The grade of the Reading Railroad in no instance averages over nineteen feet to the mile, except one mile near Port Richmond, which is about forty-two feet. ‘The locomotive trains readily pass over it, being aided by an engine stationed at the plane for the purpore, The heaviest of Port Carbon is six hundred and sixteen fect above the level of tide water.

Its principal depot in the coal region is at Mount Carbon ; below this depot several lateral roads branch into the extensive mines The cars coming from the mines on the lateral ronds, aro taken to Port Richmond on the main stem,and no ch is made from the mines to the vessels at the docks; and it is estimated that coal is delivered into the holds of ver: sols at Port Richmond, when the rovd is in operation, at the rate of one ton yer minute The machinery used, and the facilities aitveted by the works of the company, are on the most extensive » While the most sur- prising expedition is daily accomplished omthis railroad, the canal boats require at least five days to make the Wharves at Philadelphia.
