a — NEW YORK HERA New York, Monday, August 4, 1845. To Post-Masters. It is not generally understood by Post-Masters that the new law enjoins them, when communica- ting the name and address of newspaper subseri- bers, to report the same to the Post-Oflice of New York city. The omission of this has led to much delay in forwarding the Herald to subscribers who have paid ther money to country Post-Masters. Sending the proprietor of a journal a draft on the Post-Master, and not directly to the Post-Office, has Jed to much confusion and no inconsiderable trouble. The Heart and Health of the Republic. | Mr. Lyell, the eminent geologist, in his recently published notes of travel in the United States, point. | edly alludes toa fact to which we have repeatedly | ynade reference, and illustrated in a variety of | views, social and political; and that is, the exis ence in this country of a great, independent army | of neutrals, who stand aloof from the whirl and | bustle of mere party politics, ming! the ultra movements of the day, but yet constitute the conservative influence of the nation, communi- eating an influence pervading, sistible in all important matters pertaining to th government, civilization, and all the social move- ments of the time. This interesting fact is one not likely to escape the notice of a practised and philo- sophic observer, but it has been altogether overlook- brain was in working condition—and that there is to beseen daily in the streets of London a huge j ear, covered with mammoth placards, which moves by some mysterious power within, neither horse nor driver being visible—tolerably exact type of | le not with any of some showy bipeds, that keep the world wondering how the devil they manage to “ get on.” healthtul, and irre- | Puerile. They do not rise at all above the level o! e one of your most common-place penny-a-liners. The | letters, written in Europe by this gentleman, some | years liness and originality, singly deseriptive of men the American Travecters in Evrore.—Quite a number of our /iterateurs—poets, editors, and serib- blers of all dimensions—are at present making the tour of Europe; and every packet brings us any quantity of their “ impressions,” each outdoing the other in the evidence which he presents of terrible, spasmodic effort, to say something startlingly new about the Queen’s box at the opera—the gruffness of John Bull, when snoozing in a railroad car—or the extremely slovenly manner in which my Lord | Thingumbob wears his cravat. Amongst the rest, Mr. N. P. Willis has crossed the Atlantic, and his arrival in London has, we perceive, been duly an- nounced by our highly respectable contemporary, | Punch. We had, however, been previously aware of that interesting fact, from the publication in a little penny paper, in this city, of a letter from Mr. Willis himself, informing the western world that he was actually in the British metropolis—that his These letters of Mr. Willis are very trifling and had a good deal of spright- and some often amu- and manners in | old ‘world. He now appears to have ago, ed by your ignorant and affected steamboat touri: ts, who, out of the coarse and violent party journalism of the country, and the conversation in the bar’ rooms of hotels and taverns, undertake to manu- facture volumes on the social and political condition of the people of the United States. According to them, the politics ofthe country are controlled entire, ly by unprincipled and selfish men, who are politicians by trade, and if we were to believe these same vera” cious observers, the practical effect of our democra. tie institutions has been to level the whole commu- nity down to a mobocracy, under whose relentless , despotism all the influences and virtues that adorn and purity seciety have perished. As we may now very comfortably assure ourselves that Texas, Ore- gon and California are ours, and as it is time enough to agitate the subjugation of the Canadas, it may not be amiss to direct the attention of our readers a little more particularly to the subject which has been so agreeably presented atresh to our owa mind by , the discriminating and candid remarks of Mr. Lyell. | Of whom 1s this great nentral cliss composed 2 | * What is its practical influence? What assurance | ! does its existence give us of the continued and in- | ® creased prosperity of the republic? -How is it to be best operated upon, so as to become still more in- fluential? These are questions by no means of trivial import or interest, either to the statesman» u i the politician, or the disinterested patriot. Let us | Progress, in a faithful narrative of which, the whole of Christendom feel the liveliest interest. But instead a | of attempting any thing hke this, all that our distin- | guished American tourists in Europe appear to be capable of doing, is to inform us that “ the Queen then endeavor to find some answer to them. This conservative influence—for such we nee not hesitate to designate it—is composed chiefly of the mechanical and agricultural industry of the coun- try. Incity and in country, there are thousands and tens of thousands of intelligent, hard working men» } well informed in all the duties and privileges of citi- | zenship, but whose voices are never heard in the po. litical assemblage. They look with undissembled scorn on the miserable hacks who follow politics for a living—perform the dirty work of faction, and are always in the shamblés, ready to be bought or sold for aprice. The great masses of the farmers be- long to this neutral class. They, it is true, are no idle and imactive spectators, when the decisive struggle on questions of great public concernment arrives, but itis not from them that the ranks of brawling, and scheming, and rapacious partizanship are recruited. The lawyers—the party editors—the indolent drones—the broken down mercham—the office begging loafer—these are the elements which compose the motly and ever-restlees crowd of party politicians, And in the noise, and splutter, and vio- lence of this class, the superficial observer forgets the existence of that mighty and controlling power of independent opinion which exists in a higher and clearer atmosphere. in this conservative class we must include a Jarge portion of the adopted citizens. Notwithstanding allthe fuss and fanfaronade ot de- signing demagogues, who seek, out of the bigotries and prejudices of their fellow men, to serve the in- terests of theirown ambition and selfishness, the great mass of the Irish and German population maintain a dignified and appropriate forbearance and silence in the political agitations of the country. Itis only in the large cities, Where small demagogues pervert the best and most worthy feelings and sym- pathies of these c.asses of citizens to their own base ends, that we find them stepping out of that sphere to which their own instinctive views of the du- tiesof American citizens would confine them, and at- tempting distinctive organizations, which are justly to be regarded as reprehensible and inimical to re. field of investigation, does the European world present, at this moment, to the eye of an intelligent and philosophic observer! Look at England, for | volution are daily making: rapid advances. He who could patiently, impartially, and calmly examine the present social condition of the British people—as- certain and compare with accuracy and candor the | | elements of their strength and weakness—and with ' the enlightened prescience of a philosopher, trace out the shadows which coming events are casting nent of Europe, again, the materials for an intelli- gent and practical pen, are abundant on all hands. In France, in Germany, m Switzerland, in Italy, fallen into the old route, pursuing it too, in a manner that painfully reminds us of a jaded hack. Bedevil it and cayenne it as he may, it is quite evi- | dent that Mr. Willis’ letters, about which the “ Bri- gadier” poet endeavors, with such astounding ener- gy, to make a fuss, will be a mere re-hash of those written tor the old “Mirror,” without any thing of heir piquaney and flavor. And yet what a wide, attractive, and profitable | nstance, on whose ehores the waves of a mighty re- upon the broad domains of that great empire, would nceed, perform a work, which would be instructive nd valuable in the highest degree. On the conti- great social, political, and religious changes are in of England is quite a pretty girl,” and to blackguard Mr. Polk for sending Louis McLane to represent the government of the United States at London. Tue War vron tHE Jesvits.—The Journal of Commerce, with characteristic bigotry and intoler- ance, came out the other day in a ferocious article de- nouncing the Jesuits and rejoicing in what it is dis- posed to regard as the prospects of a speedy disso- lution of that world-renowned order. Not long since the same paper made a most indecent and un- christian attack on the Protestant Episcopal church. ‘Thus it 1s ever with sectarian bigotry— “Dealing damnation round the land,” on all notineluded within the pale of its own commu- nion. Even Mitchelet, the French writer, who affects to approach his subject with the candorand calmness of a philosopher, discovers, in his recent work on the influence of he priesthood on the women of France, the same fierce and undignified intolerance. When the history of the Jesuits is fairly written, it will be clearly seen that an institution which, for three hundred years, has maintained such strength and vigor, has had some more conservative and en- during elements of power and influence than mere priestly intrigue and cunning. Neither the philoso- phic historian, nor the genuine: christian, whose heart has been enlarged by the vivifying principle of love, can look without the deepest interest and sym- pathy upon the records of the Society of Jesus. The stern, heroic devotion and profound sagacity of Ig- natius--the unparalleled self-sacrifices and unquench- able zeal of Xavier—the exemplary humility and en- lightened philanthropy of Borgia—the cultivated taste and extensive erudition of Bellarmine— the patient, unwearied zeal and exemplary virtue of a long line of successors devoted to the service of the Alinighty, certainly present a spectacle caleu- lated to excite the admiration rather than the cen- publican institutions. But in estimating the consti- tuent elements of that independent influence which counteracts the evil tendencies of mere party poli- tics, it would be unjust to omit reference to hun- dreds of thousands of intelligent, liberty-loving citi- zens who have found in this land those blessings of free government and that full reward of toil and in- dustry and skill which they had vainly sought in other climes. Here we find the great check to the violence, the folly and,the madness of the mere politician. 1n the solid,{sound, practical common sense of these inde- pendent masses, the prosperity and perpetuity of our Anstitutions have their surest safe-guard. In these calm, thoughtful, prudent millions, the hope and con- fidence of the friends of republican America may sately repose. No scheme of personal ambition, however cunningly devised—no plot of party, how- ever shrewdly arranged, can be successfully carried out to the detriment of the general welfare, so long as this control ing” influence exists. The rabid and prejudiced opponents of free institutions seize with malicious joy upon every indication of party violence which presents itself in this country. In the fierce and bitter fends of the party politicions—in the beastly slanders and calumnies which fill the party journals—in the vindictive and malignant strife and straggle for office which contiaually goes on amongs; us—the supporters of the hoary despotisms of Europe wonld fain persuade themselves that the tokens of our decay and fall are seen. They see but the froth and scum on the surface of the broad and rapid stream. Beneath are the clear, deep waters—wi- dening and deepening as they flow, soon to spread out into the vast ocean-lake, whose bosom, pure as the sunbeams that dance upon it, mirrors back the heavens. Gradually, within the last few years, this great @onservative influence has been creating for itself a mouth-piece and an organ. In the cheap independ- ent press, the mighty independent masses of the peo- ple find the truthful echo of their sentiments and opi- nions. With peculiar pride and satisfaction we ac- knowledge that to this influential class of the com- munity, the Herald ischiefly indebted for its popula- rity and power. Connected with no party—bound to No political influence—fearing the face of no man, ‘we have been enabled to advocate auchviewsand doc- trines on all the great questions of tht time, and on every thing connected with the best interests of the country, as have commended themselves to the ap- probation of the intelligent and rational men of all Leceea nae Great independent influence waxes gerand stronger, and with it its a i journahsm. Every day we see er piped finance—on the foreign policy of the country—on the domestic measures of goverment—on the neces- sity of curbing and checking the progress of party spirit, foreing themselves more and more upon the public mind. And why? Because these views are seconded by the thinking men of all parties, who stand aloof from the paltry leaders of faction. Glory and increase, then, to the independent masses 1 ! Stites! May we not truly dient deed the weary HBALIM OF THe Karunuig | ans sure of the rational observer. Much of superstition, error, folly, and hostility to the liberties, civil and rehgious, of mankind, are mixed up with Jesuitism, but viewed in whatever aspect, we can find no excuse, no palliation for the hissings and hootings of that fanatical”bigotry of which the Rev. David Hale stands amongst the men of this generation, a meet and fitting incarnation and organ. Vuainy.—The front of the new church now building in Broadway for the Rev. Mr. Bellows, has twice been most seriously and wantonly defaced. Those who have seen the building probably recol- leet the elaborately carved heads at each side of the main entrance. When they were placed in their position, some rages: painted them black. After much labor this paint was removed by the aid cf chisels, and the heads restored to their former beau- ty Butthey did not long remain so, for on Thurz- day or Friday night the noses of the heads were knocked off, and the ornaments irreparably injured. They will have to be removed, and others inserted in their place. An outrage of this kind cannot be too severely punished. Imprisonment is certainly too mild, and some other mode of settling the affair | should be adopted; some mode that will preventa | like occurrence to this or any other building. We hope the perpetrator will be discovered, and the Mayor owes it to the public to offer as large a re- ward as the laws permit for his detection. The church has already offered $100, and let the Mayor add $500 to that. Six hundred dollars may probably bring forth the man. Kye anp Forx Drrromacy.— There is a vast deal in that curious world called Washington, which has never yet been properly described. The tricks and manmuvres—the habits—the successes and reverses of the office-beggars, would fill volumes far more interesting, graphic and amusing than any political novel ever written by egotistical D’Israeli. But there is another class of, if possible, still clevere™ tacticians at Washington. It is composed of the office-holders. They may be called the school of Knife-and-fork diplomacy. French cooks, and bot- tles venerable with the dust of years, are their weapons of offensive and defensive warfare. Next session of Congress the Knife-and-fork tacticians will be busy, and scenes of feasting and revelry be witnessed very different from the “ Noctes Am- brosiane” during one period of the last adminstra- tion, when patriarchal simplicity reigned in the White House, and jokes were crackedfand cabinet questions discussed over salt-herring and apple- jack! Dr. Rexse.—The character of this gentleman’s official career may be well learned from that of his defenders. Bigot, “native,” sectary, raving fana- tie, and David Hale, are all loud-mouthed in advoca- cy of the Doctor—the modest Doctor—the liberal Doctor—the poor, perseeuted Doctor. Proranrtigs or Porrtics.—It has of late become quite customary with many of the political scrib- blers, to indulge in profane and blasphemous appli- cation of scriptural allusions. Thus the Union, the government organ, appliesto Mr. Polk that memo- rable metaphorical allusion of the apostle, in refer- ting to the rejection of the Redeemer of men by the unbelieving Jews, “the stone which the build- ers rejected has become the chief of the corner.”— This most reprehensible species of profanity has long been rife at the West, where the stump orators appear to take the Boanerges’ of the pulpit as their models, and even in the courts of justice it is not at all unusual to hear the lawyers quote texts of scrip” ture with the same facility and Coolness as they cite Blackstone and Phillips. In this region, Dr. Bacon, of “Mystery of Iniquity” notoriety, has labored hard to introduce the language of scripture into po- litical harangues, addresses} and resolutions—a mingling of the Bible with politics, if possible still more revolting and profane than the appearance of Bishop Hughes in the sordid arena of Carroll Hall. We confess we are not a little astonished to find the Union guilty of this species of profanity. Mr. Polk is understood to be a pious man—a Presbyte- rian—a strict religionist. Mrs. Polk is a very pious lady. Balls, dancing, and other vain and frivolous amusements of the ungodly, she holds in pious ub- horrence. That the Union, then, should be guilty of such an irreverent application of a passage of the Holy Scriptures, is certainly very strange—still stranger that it has been permitted to pass without a vigorous but affectionate christian rebuke. Coan 1n Cutna.—A vessel sailed for China from Philadelphia some months ago laden with a cargo of anthracite{coal. This was, indeed, carrying coal to Newcastle. In China there are immense coal re- gions, and within thirty miles of Pekin there isa vast district rich in excellent anthracite coal. The Chinese have wrought in these coal mines for ages, and there is no room left to doubt from the showing of an intelligent writer in one of our scientific perio- dicals, that they were practically acquainted with gas, centuries before its discovery in Europe, al- though utterly unable to turn it to profitable account any farther than lighting up by means of the natural jets, the caverns in the mines. The Celestials know nothing of mining beyond what can be effect- ed by the pick-axe and shovel. Here is a new field for Yankee enterprise, and a new view also aflord- ed of the future greatness of the Chinese empire which might be dwelt upon at length. Warertna-PLaces.—The watering-places are crowded this year beyond all precedent. At Sara- toga the haylofts are qnite filled up, and they talk of making an eacampment on the borders of the Lake. Scorehed by the sun, stewed nigh to dissolution at the dinner-table, and tormented before their time by innumerable hosts of darkness at night, the world of fashion are thus enjoying the delights of the great wooden caravansaries at the much-frequented wa- tering-places. People of taste and discretion are Tusticating in quiet, retired places in the valleys of Jersey, the glens of Long Island, the neghborhood of Niagara, or on the shores of the western lakes. Every place, however, has its charms and its admi- rers. At the crowded watering-places the mush- room aristocracy settle questions of precedence, and flirting, politics, and the liver complaint,give an agreeable variety to the scene. Perretvat Mevopists.—We have had all sorts of “ melodists”—** Congo,” * Ethiopian,” ‘‘ Orphean,” ‘*Negro,” and so on, but midsummer with other enjoyments has brought us @ new class, who give tree concerts in the third and fourth stories ef the boarding houses in the streets away up town. From dewy eve till late in the morning pianos jingle and harpsichords squeak and female voices scream till you are almost driven frantic. At one corner, a young lady has been singing without inter- mission for the last month— “Come to me when day-light sets !” and on the opposite side of the street another dear creature carols away with equal perseverance— “Tis my delight on a moonlight night.” Why don’t some one come when day light sets and relieve these “perpetual melodists” from their un- ending labors? Enrerrrize 1n New Yorx.—We noticed on Sa- turday, in the burnt district, a large brick store, une hundred feet long and forty-five feet wide, nearly completed. Indeed, it is to be roofed, finished, and occupied by its energetic owners, Messrs. P. Nay- lor & Co., some day this week. Two weeks ago another building was on the spot now covered by this new store. That was burnt on Saturday morn- ing the 19th ult. ; early on Monday, the 21st, masons began to rebuild ; and before Saturday next, busi- ness will be transacted there as usual. Besides this, a large stable bas been rebuilt in the rear, and already occupied. This is an instance of enter- prize, perhaps unparalleled. Boosy Brooks anv Paitosorner Gresiy have had a most excruciating, entertaining, fuuny, and ferocious quarrel on the subject of their relative pre- tensions to religion and poetry. Each charges the other with being an infidel, and so at it they go, tooth and nail—a notable illustration of the old fa- ble of the pot calling black face at the kettle. Amia- ble philosophers and eminent christians, do cease your quarrelliing and embrace like brothers. Blockheads with reason wicked wits abhor, But foo] with fool is barbarous civil war! Murrary Visirors —It will be seen by the letter from Charleston, in another column, that a{military company of that city intends to visit New Yerk in aweek or two, They will muster on the 19th inst., and parade on the 2Ist. They will stop at the Astor, and be received by the Light Guard. This company is a very fine one; they number about fifty muskets; their dress is a dark blue coat with gold trimmings, blue pants with a buff stripe, a small cloth cap with a large plume. Tueartricats in this city are just now in a very flourishing condition. The prospects of next sea- son are highly encouraging. Simpson has been stir. ring his stumps in London to some purpose, and in- tends to astonish the “ natives” when he re-opens. Tue Streets —Why do not the corporate author- ities pay a lude more attention to the etatt of the streets? Yesterday Broadway smelled bad enough to be under “ native” rule. Mr. Mayor, see to this, Sporting Intelligence, Sr. Grorer’s Cricker CLus.—The result of the Teceat contest betweenthe St. George’s Club, of this city, and eleven players of Canada, at Montreal, re- sulted as follows :— 4 St. George.

Beacon Course.—The spert advertised to come off to-day at this course, will be of a very interesting nature. There will be no back out, as parties have been making bets to some extent, play or pay, which is good evidence that the match advertised will be contested. Brooklyn City Intelligence. Poisoxixc Case.—We understand that at one of the boarding houses in South Brooklyn, the bos dozen in number, eat freely of halibut, which wai up last Friday for dinner. That night those who the fish were attacked with sick spasm, &c., which lasted for some time. Indeed, the: not all recovered last evening. None, however, died. {tis said by a phy- sician, who examined one or two of the gentiemen, that the fish was poisoned. None ir the house are suspec- ted, and the probability is, that the halibut was poisoned before it was purchased, Ligence. oLicr—SUNpay.— Grand r rested by Officer Chedic charged with stealing carpets and furniture at the late , the property of Henry 8.

No- thing has been spared to give to the representation of this Opera a proper degree of magnificence, and the success of the company, as @n operatic corps, in previous performances, is a good security for its favorable results. The principal parts in “ Za Mu- ette” will be performed by M’mes Casini and Ste- phen Copuriot, and Messrs. Arnaud, Garry, and Ceeuriot. ‘The public should not forget that this is the last week but one of the engagement of the company at the Park, and that, should these artists decide upon leaving this city, which it is to be hoped will not be the case, it may be long before the ama- teurs get another chance of hearing a French opera, The nights are growing cool now, and the pertorm- ances will no doubt be still more fashionably and numerously attended. Mlle Calvé’s benefit takes place next Thursday night. ‘ L’Ambassadrice,” and the second act of “ La Fille dw Regiment,” two charming operas, in which this talented artiste has received the applause of several numerous audiences, will be given for the occasion, Bowery THEarre.—This new and splendid build- ing opens to-night for the first time, under the man- agement of its sole proprietor, Mr. Jackson. The elegance of the internal arrangement—the comfort to be found in all parts of the house—the magnifi- cence of the new scenery, and the talent of the artists engaged for the season, leave nothing to de- sire to the most fastidious theatrical amateur. An opening address to the public, written expressly for the occasion, by Jonas B. Phillips, Esq., will be de- livered to-mght by Mr. Jackson, after which the performance will begin with the comedy of Charles IL, in whieh J. R. Scott will act the part of Captain Copp. This play will be followed by the “Sleeping Beauty,” a grand romantic legendary spectacle, which will afford to the enterprising manager an op- portunity of exhibiting the splendor of the new ma- teriel, and the skill of his company. The tout ensemble is intended to excite the admi- ration of the visitor, and will answer fully the most sanguine expectations. This theatre, raised, phenix like, from its smouldering ruins, with more brillian- cy than it was ever known to possess before, will certainly become the favorite resort of fashion, and will, no doubt, meet at its opening, with a libe- ral patronage. We invite the public to call at the New Bowery this evening, and we feel confident that they will not be disappointed in what they see. Castle GarpEN.—To-night will be the last appear- ance but two of Herr Cline, who will perform the French Sabot Dance, and his series of astonishing feats on the tight rope. The overtures to Gustavus the III., La Filledw Regiment, uZmpa, Zanetta, and other musical pieces will be performed by the or- chestra. In the course of the evening, Miss Pray, a pupil ot M’lle Desjardins, will dance the Cachucha and a Pas de Deux from the ballet of Guillaume Tell, in company with the inimitable Mr. Parsloe- Two songs by Mr. Dennison; and a pas seul by Mr. Parslo¢ will complete this evening’s entertainment. The house was crowded last night by thousands» who had congregated there te enjoy the coolness of the place, and the religious melodies performed by the orchestra. Nisto’s—Granp Gata Nicut.—CuirreNpDALe’s Benerit.—A most powerful and unprecedented assemblage of the very first performers is to appear to-night. Burton, one of the best actors in this or any other country, plays in conjunction with the popular Henry Placide, in the comedy of the ‘ Poor Gentleman.” Broagham will also make his first and only appearance ; Matthews, from Philadelphia ; Mrs. Timm, who was so enthusiastically received on Monday last ; Mr. Roberts, the light comedian, Mr. S. Pearson and Mr. Dennison; in addition to which, the excellent performers of the company, Misses Taylor and Matthews, Chippendale, John Sefton, and Nickinson, are included in the coinedy, and popular opera of “ Fra Diavolo.” Such an anu- sual attraction with Edge’s Fireworks, will crowd the garden for the benefit of the highly deserving beneficiatre. VauxuaLL Garpen.—To-night a budget of songs, dances, comicalities, &c., to conclude with the Ethiopean Operatic Brothers and Sister, in a series of songs, glees, chorusses, and quite an attractive bill for the habitués of Vauxhall. Frorm.a Bati.—Mrs. Parker and Edge’s grand fete takes pee this evening on the waters of the Hudson.

Law Orrick Roangp.—The law office of J. 8, Bos- worth, Esq , 61 Liberty street, was entered on the morning of the 2d inst., by means of a false key. ‘There were two iron safes in the office, one set_into the wall, standing under a high desk. The keys of the inthe high derk. ‘The burglars found them, xamined the papers with and finding nothing of use to them, locked the safes and cer- ried off the keys. In the wall'sale wasa small tin box, containing some unendorsed notes,and other papers of no value toa burglar. This box being locked, was carried off to be examined at leisure. A drawer in the other 580, in the form of certificates of depo- h, issued by the defunct “ New York City , imilitude of bank bills, was forced open, and the drawer left upon the office floor. Although the certificates were payable to bearor, the burglars evidently thought them uot worth carrying of, and Jeft them. ‘e understand that the safes were de- signed and used merely to protect papers and books against injury from fire, and not to guard money against the attacks of burglars, For this reason there was not 40 much precaution used to place the keys where they could not be found, as would otherwise have been ob- served. Mr. Bosworth thinks it will save burglars a reat deal of useless labor, to have it understood that there is nothing kept in a law office which they can make enough out of to pay for the effurt of opening safes and examining the papers. In another column is his notice, politely requesting the return of the papers car. ried off. He bas had one of the safes repaired, and so al jocks to both, as will render the keys carried for future operations. We think his request to have the papers restored cannot be resisted. Tur Gown Founp.—We have already stated that $3162 in gold, supposed to have been part of the money stolen on the 28th of June, from Adams’ & Co's, express, on board the steamboat Champion, and also eighty-nine sovereigns, had been found concealed under the wharf k slip ; but we did not give the particulars, which follows :—James Thomas, a colored laborer, who jonth or Ko has been employed by the New Haven boat Company to clean their wharf and attend to the fastenings of the boxts, was the man who discovered the golden On Wednesday afternoon, just after | the departure of the Champion, he was washing off part of the pier and found a sovereign. Believing it to have been lost by passenger, he put it away determined to seo whether i adver The next morning, whilst again washing the planking, he was astonished jndineg Uvat he had washed out a half et ‘This vin to stoop fora thorough examination, and it was thus that, after removing some pieces of cow), he discovered. th lon treasure, which, in his egitation | aia * ee) \nd eagerness to grasp, he partly spilt, and some of it vas, b: tae teerten of (he handkere! ief that it was tied in, lost in the dock snd ecattared am the stones of the wharf. He immediately proceeded to the ofiee of John reel Esq., ‘ine, mas considered tivered all the money to him for safe-keepin; he benefit of whoever may be the right owner. The snusual honesty of this transaction induced us, at much ‘rouble, te ascertain who James Thomas was, kc. We ind that he is a fine specimen of the pure blood of Africa. He is very poor, having a wife and three children to ae out of $15 per month. His moighiars, white and solored, give him a high character for industry, sobriety and mot havior, His wife and himself are exemplary members of the Methodist Church ; and he told a gentle- man, with earnest simplicity, and no dou)t with truth, that it was ving te his religion that he withstood the ; for, he says, his first thought was that ~ no know—that there was no owner—that so much money would buy him some little comfort for his bury ;” but, he says, he thought about the honesty, tnd then prayed to the Lord, who immediately directed him to Mr. Saxton. We trust that the owners of this recovered treasure will reward this hi it man liberally, so that he may indeed “ buy him some little comfort” for his wife, and educate his children to follow in his honest footsteps.

State of Affairs— The Lyon Murder—Curious State- ment- Military Visit to New York—The Collector, &e. The “ Queen City” has been for a long time quiet and calm. Since the famous “torch light proces- sion,” nothing has occurred to disturb the placid serenity which has fallen upon us, and which seems to be fast growing into the still, dull, dead waters of utter stagnation. For one, 1 would rather see the whole community in the wild whirl of nullification, than to breath the pestiferous air of the “dead sea,” which has apparently enwrapped us. We shonld then atleast have something to attend to; we should once more feel the warm current of life moving briskly in our veins, and should again be the aston- ishment of anamazed and gaping world. In fact, South Carolina, when once her back is up, 1s not to be “sneezed at;” and calm though she now is, yet the quiet is treacherous, very much like a slumber- ing Vesuvius, or a sleeping catamount. The Flori- da motto is applicable, “Let us alone ;” aprropos, what did Florida come into the Union for, if she wished to be let alone? Answer that, Master Brook. Well, though poliseale, morally, and commer- cially at rest, we have some litte “social” matters, which have rather given old Rip Van Winkle a poke in the side, and caused him to open the corner of one eye, and look about a little. Your readers will remember the account of a horrid murder done upon the body of one Lyon, a jeweller, and the robbery of his premises, which unlawful acts were for a time charged upon some of the Mexican Montezuma’s crew. This week a fellow has been arrested and lodged in jail, after a searching examination, who probably did the business, or helped to doit. Cir- cumstances are strong against him, and he will have a sharp time of it to get clear of the charge which now lies against him. So much for that. Anotherexisting topic of discussion in our streets, is the deficiency of some $20,000 in the funds of one our banks, or rather in the cashier’sfunds. The story is a queer one, but the whole facts of the case have not transpired. This much is certain. The directors of the bank in question, in looking over their bundles of bills, which have been withdrawn from circulation, came across certain peckages, which looked ‘“‘curious.” These packages have been long done up—some as far back as 1835, were sealed with the cashier’s official seal, and signed by the old president and the old cashier, both now dead. On opening the bundles, in place ot finding $20,000, they found a sixpence worth of paper cut in bill form and nicely stowed into the packages. This was an astounding discovery, and coming as it did upon a business, active bank—upon men famous for managing their institution in a most vigorous and energetic manner, it was the more overwhelming. The money isgone; but who has taken it? Ah, that is just the question now under consideration in the bank parlor, at sundry coflee houses, bar rooms, &c. When it is found out, you shall know. Another matter of interest, is the visit of one of our military companies to your city. This is anew move, and will, no doubt, be a pleasant one. Ex- hange of courtesy between military companies should be encouraged, as it does more to do away prejudice than fifty long-winded arguments. The Northern Volunteers are an old corps, and are re- garded as one of the finest and best of our militia companies. You must not, however, expect as high a state of drill as thosejwho parade in New York, for we learn that they have invited their old comrades to meet them, and many of them will, no doubt, pa- rade with the corps. Capt. Taylor, their command- er, { know very well, and also his subordinates; and nothing on their part will be lacking, I am sure, to make the corps respectable in appearance. Luck go with them. A word about the Collector of Customs for Uncle Sam. Mr. Graysen, no doubt, will retire. But who will condescend to take his place? Some sa) Pinckney, seme say Carew, others Hayne, but all are daily assaulted by hungry office-seekers for places under them. Oh, misery! How unfortunate it is that Uncle Sam cannot feed all of his vast fami- he Every one of the eighteen millions of his chil- ren ought tobe taken care of, and itis cruel in the extreme that all are not provided with places. Dayton, July 28th, 1845. The Miami Valley—Its Growth—The Miami Canal —Dayton—Its Amusements—The Subterraneans —Great Meeting at the Market-House—The Ex: citement. To a denizen of a large and populous city, such as New York, it is refreshing, no doubt, to his fever- ish and parched frame, surrounded as he is, by din- gy walls of bricks and mortar, glowing under the rays of a vertical sun, and almost suffocating him with heat, to receive an occasional cool breeze from the great west—and more especially from the Miami Valley—and learn from thence how the more favored of human beings, like himself, are enjoying themselves during the same season, but in a different climate, under the same sun, which is at present in the superlative degree of hot, hotter, hot- test. The Miami Valley is rapidly tilling up, encompas- sing, as it does, the richest and largest portion of the State of Ohio, which is already the third in the Union in point of numbers and political importance. The soil is fertile in the extreme, highly productive in all that adds to the convenience and comfort of man. Watered by two beautiful streams, the Mi- ami rivers, yielding immense water privileges, and whose valleys and’ fertile plains have received the well-deserved appellation of the ‘Eden of the West.” Thriving towns and flourishing villages are constantly springing up, filled with industrious artizans, the real bone and sinew of the nation, whose industry, perseverance, and honest integrity docredit to the progressive age in which we live, inf@ honor to the oniy free and great republic that is now in existence. " he Miami Canal 18 now open, and navigable from the Lake to Cincinnati ; and thus connecting, ‘one great chain, a complete water navigation trom the lakes to Dayton, Cincinnati, and thence down the Ohio and Mississippi to the Gulf of Mex ico. The opening of this Canal will be a memora- ble epoch in the growing importance and history of the Miami Valley. BE any ca al Dayton, the most delightful inland city in the West, is situated in the most central point of the whole valley—like an arbor in the centre ot a beau- tiful garden, surrounded by cultivated fields and lux- uriant groves, thus commanding all the luxuries of \ife as well as trade, so bountifully poured into her lap. The most striking feature, worthy of remark, which catches the eye of a stranger who is a tempo- rary visitor, is the Foqulacity of our streets, which are noted for their width, cleanliness, and solidity ; the neatness and elegance of the private residences of its citizens; but (poet most of your read- ers are familiar with Dayton and its vicinity, I shall not dwell upon a minute description; for no per- sons who have once seen it, can refrain from ex- claiming— «Take it all in all, ‘e ne’er shall look upon its like again.” ‘The amusements of the season, are in the “full tide of successful operation.” Pic nic parties have been all the rage, thus far, and our beaux have had many a wild kad chase after tiat visionary phantom called “love;” and have, with but afew exeeptions, given up the chase in despair, and are now pining away under the ‘delusions of hope,” while the bewitching ‘ belles” are smiling as gaily as ever, and look so enticing, that I doubt not the: will soon triumph over some bachelor, whose uf- fections have been “bottled” up in his heart, and which, it is said, must be poured out upen a mai den’s heart at a particular time, and if the ve “popped” out nicely, it never fails to produce what sealed in eo sophy—adhesion. Remem- ber this ye ‘ led ones. * The subterfaneans have lately sprung up, phoenix like, in brilliant under the indomitable Eben Heald! ‘This gentleman is a hard laboring man, with considerable spirit and emt and is oud in proclaiming for a reformation, upon the prin- ciple that “republics are ungrateful.” On Satur- day evening last, a large and turbulent meeting was held at the market-house. As the subterraneans are composed of men from both political parties, they are looked upon by the two parties from whieh they are aeceders, as apostates to their former faith ; ad large numbers were in attendance to see and hear what they had to say, in relation to existing ils in the at large, which they #0 ity desire to reform. The meeting was organized, and Mr. Heald loudly called for, who immediately aounted a butcher’s block, and asked permission of ae impatient crowd to be excused for afew minutes, ig the committee on nominations desired to report, fter which he would attend to the call of his fellow ountrymen. The crowd shouted lustily for the re- vort of the committee, when they, through their hairman, reported a series of resolutions, prefaced vy a whereas, which set forth their principles. As ome of the resolves are of no importance, and too engthy for a letter and my present purposes, I will rive you the two resolutions which were the occa- ion of the excitement. Resolved, on t as friends of grateful Republics, and snemies to ungrateful on eerfully and unitedly ecommend Eben Heald suitable person for our candidate for the Ohio Legislature, at the ensuing elec- ion. His wisdom, brilliant talents, and unsullied integri- ty, will find many admirers among the noble and inde- pendent spirits of the land. (Here the applause was tre- mendous, and he was nominated by acclamation ) _ Dr. B———, who has figured conspicuously ia the lemoeratic ranks, was nominated by the followin, resolution, for county Treasurer. It was reeeive by the meeting as a burlesque, notwithstanding the earnestness with which it was offered, as he had proved wavering in the ranks of the party to which he professed to belong. A solved, That inasmuch as money is power, it is ne- cessary that such power should be vested in the hands of honest and unwavering minded men, who are known to be so from a long life of the strictest fidelity and honor, and therefore your committee present the independen' name of Dr. B- , as a candidate for the office of Trea- surer. The risible faculties of the meeting would hold in no lunger, and one long, loud outburst of applause and laughter, resounded in the air, ana put to flight the whole committee, and leftnone to call the meet- ing to order, save the indomitable Heald, who mounted the block and commence# a tirade against the evils of our country, amid the shouts and excite- ment of the vast. pea who soon compelled him to suppress his eloquent appeals to the Subter- raneans, by a pack of fire-crackers, which some mischievous person threw upon the block, and which exploded to the mutual satisfaction of the crowd, presenting a sublime scene, as noble in con- ception as it was grand in execution. Thus termi- nated, ina row, one of the richest affairs that ever came off 1n this or any other city, and forever blast- ed the hopes and ambitious desires of those who were active in getting up the great Subterranean Re- torm Ticket. —————— Ss United States Circuit Court.—The Clerk’s Office of this Court has been removed this day from the rooms ied by the of the U, 8.

Sunday, August 3-6 P.M. ‘The stock market during the past week has given no indications of change in the money market, or that there has been anyunfavorable change in commercisl matters, growing out of the recent disastrous fire. Itis stated that some of the Insurance Companies are about foreclo- sing their mortgages to a large amount, and it is suppo- sedthis willcreatea great deal of difficulty among v certain class of individuals. The Insurance Companies have a very large amount of money to pay within the noxt sixty days, and they will be compelled to realize on their assets as expeditiously and liberally as povtible. A large amount of stocks must soon be thrown i:.!o the market for sale or hypothecation by these,companics,and the mortgages they have upon real estate must be fore- closed or go through some operation by which the mo- ney canbe raisedonthem. All these movements must affect the money market unfavorably for a time, but it will only be temporary ,and it must soon disappear amidst the general prosperity that exists in all departments of business, and througheut the country generally. The nett amount realized so far from the property saved from the recent fire, is so small, that there is at prosent little doubt, but that some of the Insurance Companies,whose risks in the burnt district so much exceed their capital, will be unable to pay to their claimants a very large per cent upon their respective claims. ‘The Merchants, Man- hattan and Guardian will not, it is supposed, be able to pay to their creditors more than seyenty per cent. As the ordinary proofs of losses horetofore required by the Insurance Companies of claimants, afford no protection against fraud, the officers and directors of the different companies have determined te give all claims a most ri- gid examination, and to require stronger preliminary proofs thon they have usually demanded. This they have an undoubted right to do, and their imperative duty to all partics, requires them to investigate every claim, and to tests its validity, and the justice of the demasd made. A fraud upon these companies, in their present prostrate condi- tion, is no more or less than a fraud upon honest claim- ants, 9s it reduces the amount of the per centage they might receive. The officers and directors of all the companies should resort to and adopt every method of investigation and examination of claims, that all may be tairly tested, and an equal distribution of resources of the 'nsolvent companies made. Such measures should be taken in the premises as will enhance the dangers of ex. posure of any fraudulent claims, and prevent, if possi- ble, any attempt to take advantage of the confusion that so disastrous a fire must produce in the affairs of the in- surance companies, and in the affairs of those who have lost every thing. We annex a table giving the quotations for stocks in this market, for each day of the week just closed: the closing prices for the week previous. it will be ob- served that in almost every instance the closing prices yesterday were higher than on the Saturday previous:— Quotations ror THE Principat Stocks in THE New Yore Marurr, Sat, Mon.
