NEW YORK HERALD. New York, Thursday, August 7, 1845. tice to Subscribers. — Subscribers in the country receiving their papers in yellow envelopes, will understand that their term of subscription is nearly expired. Arrival of the Monster Steamer. ‘All New York is on the look out for the Great Bri- tain, She is now in hertwelfth day, and is hourly expected to arrive. Movements of Infidelity. One of the most remarkable movements of the present age is presented in the constant, open, avow- ed and undisguised efforts of infidelity, sometimes nan organized shape—sometimes under the shade ut political action—sometimes in the form of rehgi- ous controversy or scientific discussion—and some- times bald and naked as the statue of Jupiter Olym- pus in the Capitol. During the last few years there have been a great deal of floating infidelity and unbe- lief throughout the land, under the guise of candid investigation of moral and religious truth, but it was not until the establishment of the New York Tribune, which has adopted all the vagaries of the French se- cial reformers, as they designate thenselves, and the transcendentalists, that infidelity in this country as- sumed a regularly organized form and system of ope- ration, Borrowing consequence from the connec- tion of its organ witha great political party, the in- fidel movement has of late assumed an aspect sutti- ciently portentous, and is fast leading many to the darkest regions of scepticism and error. Formerly the efforts of infidelity to diffuse itself were isolated and interrupted, but in the Tribune, as has very pro- perly been noticed by many of the papers through- out the country and in this city, the spirit of unbe- lief has found a most efficient ally, and is fast at- taining a position of great efficiency and power. Amongst the minor organs of the new philosophy, transcendentalism and infidelity—for they are all one family—which are published throughout the country, and with which we exchange, we find several speak_ ing out openly, and without any of the caution and reserve exhibited by the Tribune. Thus we find the Communitist, published at Skeneateles in this State, boldly declaring its hostility to religion in the follow- ing terms :— INFIDELITY. Dear Frtexos :—You are accused by the world sround you of infidels to the religion of this land. It is said of You, that you do not believe in its mysteries, its shadows, its formalities, and its meaningless requirements. I am glad that you do not. But it is infinitely more important that you should be infiiel to its practices than to its the- ories. 1 rejoice that you are so, and hope you may con- tinue to grow in such infidelity. ‘The religion of this land is a slaveholding religion. It sanctions and continues the chattelizing of human be- ings. It dehumanizes and imbrutes the noblest of na- ture’s works. A woe wil! rest upon you, as upon all others, who are not infidels to such religion—infidels not only in theory but in practice. ‘The religion of this country is a bloody religion. Its altars and pulpits are supported at the point of the bayonet. it ever stands ready to throw its protecting mantle around human Daidhere! It is ever ready to deify the greatest of murder- ers if he bows to its shrine, or murders in its name. How important that we should all become infidels to such a religion ! ‘The religion of all countries is oppressive. It not only robs the poor of their labor, of the soil and its products, thus reducing them to starvation, misery and crime ; but it cramps, deiorms, and as much as possible destroys the upward tendencies of the buman mind. It would, if pos- sible, forever lock up the free thought and prevent free utterance. It would starve the body and famish the mind. It is the natural enemy of progress, of reform, and true civilization. All advance has been in spite of it. All reform has been infidelity to it. None more so than the reform you have attempted. May you have strength to battle successfully with its overshadowing influence. The day of dangér, to you, from religion is not yet. While it makes open warfare you have nothing to fear. When it appears to become your friend and co-worker, then you have most cause ofalarm. The time will come when religion, taking warning from your success, will put on the garb of universal reform ; but it will be only to cover its hideousness. If you escape its embrace, and are not betrayed by a kiss, as most other reforms have been, then you will be infidels indeed. Infidels have too often been so only in theory, Whether a man believes this theory or that is of comparatively little importance. It does not so much affect human happiness as his prac- tice. The religion of this country is infidel to humanity, to goodness, to purity and truth. Consequently, if we are true infidels to this religion, we shail be faithful to humanity and truth. Man regenerated and redeemed from the vice and misery of the past, shall rise up to bless the practical infidelity of this age. The eyes of the world are upon you, Many slaves to religious fear regard your movement with horror ; but they shall yet bless you, and the mental and social freedom which your efforts shall secure to them. A few believers in human progress, see you truly, as the only hope of sutlering humanity. That you may be such true infidels to the present social and religious institutions of the world, as ‘will not disappoint this latter class, is the earnest wish of Isaac Fityt. Community Place, July 20th, 1845. This is not all—scattered throughout the same journal we find a variety of similar articles, all of the same character, expressing in the most enthusiastic terms the desire of the writers for that time, when, as they believe, all religion and morals will be | to $47 374 in favor of the new law over the old for | pact stone mull, which is as remarkable for the vari- banished from the world. For, as Mr. Flint very candidly remarks, these philosophers quarrel not merely with the “principles” of charity, but also with gits “practices.” Thus they regard the mar- riage vow with peculiar abhorrence. It is true the Tribune, the head and front of the new philosophy, does not dare to avow this in direct terms, but it is gradually approximating to an open announcement of the same doctrines, and in its elaborate and per- severing advocacy of Fourierism, is leading the minds of as many of its readers as are favorably dis- posed to its teachings, into the adoption of the same doctrines and views as are avowed without any dis- guise oraflected delicacy by the Communitist. In the same journal from which we have made ihe above extract, one of the female philosophers, Miss Maria Loomis, who occupies in the Commu- nitist a position analagous to that maintained by s Fuller in the Tribune set, has a long and very urious article on the subject of the World’s Conven- tioa, to be held in this city in October next—a pro: ject in which all connected with the general infidel movement appear to be very much interested. Mise Loomis is somewhat incoherent and rambling, but that is quite characteristic of the school. She rants | runs to make, with five wickets to go down, which, | to be furnished for $1,069, butit was so complete in and raves about the terrible wickedness of the world for a column or so, and finally winds up with the assertion that “it is no matter what we believe ‘yout things that our senses cannot appreciate,” and the prophetic announcement, that the new philoso- phers will “ultimately astonish a gaping world with @ perlect machine in perpetual motion, without sieam or friction.” But of the nature of the ma chine, or its operation, Miss Loomis does not see fitas yet to enlighten us. We must therefore pos- sess our soulsin patience and await a further revela- tion In the obituary of William ©. Bell, who, it may be recollected, presided at the meeting of the Infi- del Convention in this city in May last, and pub- lished in the Communitist, we have a singularly clear exposition of the sentim i losophy. Here it is:— Wiiwiam ©, Be custom of writin 8 of the new phi- has been our lot to know of him personally, we still re mark a few things s0 worthy of imitation, that we can. ot abstain from speaking of them, leaving others, who etter know our brother, to speak of him more generally Mr. Bell was one of our most vigorous correspund- ents.

What gives them greatly increased interest, is the fact that they are connected in some degree with both the great political parties. In consequence of his propogation of infidelity, under the friendly shade of political influence, it is making greater progress in this country at this time, than it ever did in any country in Europe. It was by a similar sub- serviency of politics to infidelity, or of infidelity to politics,that gave to the infidels of France such over- whelming power in the French revolution. The French infidels thus gained and kept the balance of power, and used it in such a way as to destroy all religion, and organise infidelity and immorality in the most open and undisguised manner. Here, sin- gularly enough, infidelity isparsuing the same course of political action which it adopted so successfully in France previous to the revolution. [t associates with abolitionism—with democracy—withwhiggism —with themoral' reformer—with fanaticism in reli- gion—with fanaticism in polities—with ultraism in everything—seizing, in fact, on every salient point in society, it is fast acquiring a degree of strength —We have no wish to imitate the a eulogy on every individual who leaves the Liberal or Reform ranks, but in the character of William C, Bell—the deceased—knowing as little as “my friends, the very atmosphere of freedom which | | ng there: Bot beyond his depth, When | mingle with my neighbors, they cannot sympathise with I can associate with them in the temperance and other reforms, but we cannot have that | { igh degree, morality, benevo- Jence, charity, and energy of character.

In all this onward movement the mainstay of the new philosophy has been the New York Tribune, which has attained more importance than any other journal in the whig party, in conse- quence of its being the official organ of a political clique, wielding the power of the State in Albany for several years past. Acricutturat Screxce.—There are now two periodicals in this city devoted to the advancement of agricultural science. One is conducted by John S. Skinner, the other by Redwood Fisher. This increase in this department of our periodical litera” ture, indicts the growing taste for agricultural pur- suits amongst intelligent men, and no doubt if prop- erly conducted, these works wiil be of essentiai ser- vice. Mr. Skinner is well known as formerly con- nected with agricultural pursuits at Baltimore, and Redwood Fisher formerly from Pennsylvania, has been connected with industrial pursuits for many years in this city. Mr. Skinner is a good deal of atwaddler in agricultural affairs, and Mr. Fisher is something of the same thing in commercial and manufacturing affairs. Both, however, occasion- ally twaddle to some purpose and with a mixture OF goed sense. They belong to the same school of twaddling literature that delights us so much in the letters of Willis and the columns of Ritchie. But twaddling philosophy—twaddling literature—twad- dling agriculture—twaddling anything, are the only things readible in this hot weather, and we like them all amazingly—Ritchie, Skinner, Fisher, Wil- lis, and all. Camp Meetincs.—We perceive that arrangements have been made for holding a number of camp} pyrper Ritchie gives his meetings in different parts of the country. These Faruer Rirenie’s Visit to Farmer Buar of the most amusing productions, which we have met with in any newspaper for a long time past, is contained in the latest number of the Union which has reached our hands. It is a description by Fa- ther Ritchie himself, of a recent visit to the resi- dence of Francis P. Blair, Esq. At this charming retreat, so felicitously named “ Silver Spring,” in allusion to the rich contracts obtained during many years by the proprietor, the ex-editor enjoys his otium cum dignitate, and as he quaffs his rich old wine, thanks the gods that preside over successfu unofficial station in “the party.” Hither Father Ritchie bent his steps the other day, and we hasten‘to present our readers with the pleasant story in which the happy old gentleman has conveyed his impres- sions. VIRTUE ITS OWN REWARD, on DEMOCRACY IN RETIREMENT, By Farner Rircuim, He breedeth his cattle, he traineth his vino, He hath much that was bought and sold, And his cellars are bursting with brave old wine, And his coffers are crammed with gold. Cornwall. CHAPTRR 1 Father Ritchie receives - Invitatton to Visit Farmer ir, “Tue Sinver Sering.”—One of our correspond- ents in this city has recently favored our readers with a brief but charming description of the beau- ties of Washington and its surrounding scenery; and wound it up with the following allusion to Mr. FP. Biair’s conn, seat: ‘ gr “The whole neighborhood of Washington is in- teresting, from constant and increasing improve- ment. Cottages and gardens are springing upas by magic in every direction. Amongst the splendid and graceful establishments to be seen, is that of Silver Spring, the seat of F. P. Blair, Esq., on the Seventh street road. It is appropriately named, from the source of its abundant water supply. The house isj spacious, chaste, and architectural, whilst shade, cultivation, and the unmistakable evidences of abundance around, complete the picture of an abode of elegance and hospitality.” ‘ We could not be content with this simple but beautiful description of the place, when we hada fair opportunity given us by the hospitable owner to see the original for ourselves. CHAPTER It, Father Ritchie is determined to have a Frolic. Say what shall be our sport to-dey? e hare ae eg sn on foo , too . Wi A For spirive ike mite to cach eee So, on Saturday last, “nothing loth,” we deter- mined, for once, to cut the acquaintance of printers’ devils, and leave the revises to their fate, that we might breathe the fresh air of the country, and view the beauties of the Silver Spring. CHAPTER 111, Father Ritchie pauses in his flight and becomes geogra _. phical, Mr. Blair’s farm is about six miles from the city— being on the very verge of the Distnet of Columbia, and part of it rune ine Montgomery county in the State of Maryland. CHAPTER IY, Father Ritchie again becomes poetical, and smacks his lips over the good things at Farmer’ Blair’s— “Farewell, my hearts ; 1 will to my honest knight Fal- , and drink canary with him.” We pass over “the unmistakable evidences of abundance, of elegance, and of hospitality.” We shali not dwell upon the warm weleome which was extended to every guest by the proprietors cf the mansion—the viands, and the wines, and the delic: ous fruits, which graced the round table—more deli- cately covered, perhaps, than was the celebrated round table of Ki ing Arthur himself. CHAPTER ¥. reason for not passing the bottle. We must leave the hospitable board to itself, and assemblages might be made very useful auxiliaries | all the “‘ goodly creature comforts,” and all the good to the cause of religion, as well as affording inte- resting developements of human feelings and sym- pathies. But they have hitherto been often rather of pernicious tendency. Muchfdepends on the man- agement of the divines and elders. As we wish to make them of advantage to society, and instrumen- tal in promoting the cause of religion, we shall send reporters and give full accounts of the proceedings, | hind us even the handsome and convenient mansion sermons, concerts, exhibitions of piety, and work-| which its proprietor has lately erected, and approach the Silver Spring, which gives its owa name, and a ings of the spirit, every day during the contin- uance of these meetings. One we will receive by express over the Long Island Railroad, and the other by the North River steamboats. Workinc or rue New Pesrack Law.—The following statement exhibits the number of letters carried by the United States Express mail from New York to Boston, one way only, for twelve trips pre- ceding, and since the first of July, when the new postage law went into operation. This includes only those carried by one agent, and is probably about one-half.

The dif- ference from Boston is not so great. Avorner New Paper is shortly to be started by Childs,J Slamm and Edward Sanford. It will be a powerful antagonist to the News, and may be re- garded as the first attempt to establish a sub-organ on the plan of the Union. Slamm has been lately appointed ‘despatch agent” in this city—a snug sine- cure, yielding about $1500 a year, and is thus re- tained by the administration. He and his associ- ates have collected, it is said, a capital of $5000, which will keep them afloat for a few months. This new paper will go either for Mr. Polk, or, in case of his refusal to stand again, for his candidate, Mr. Walker. Thus the democracy will be divided into two cliques, like the whigs.

The umpires deci- ded thatthe Wallabout men, this side, had but eleven in all probability, would have been got off. It is to be regretted that the quarrelling between the parties, on the first day’s play, has been the means of divi- ding the club. The Brooklynites intend to have a club independent of the Wallabout. Wi.is’s Lerrers.—We perceive these twaddling letters are still the subject of quarrel between two of the evening papers—indeed, that is the chief reason why they are talked about at all. The Zxpress still persistsin publishing them, and this has caused the necessity of taking out a separate copy right for each, as they are published in the Mirror, the ex- pense of whichis $2 a letter—more, some people say, than the precious epistles are worth! We mean to review these letters, in connection with Bryant’s, one of these days, and give extracts Barty Iwrennicence.—Our enterprising neigh- bor, the Sun, has within afew days made a great noise about the exclusive receipt of news from Afri- ca, and of the seizure of the schooner John Says.

Let us pass, then, into the open air, and leave be- reat part of the attraction of the scene, to the whole arm. CHAPTER Vit. Father Ritchie's beautiful Description of the“ Statey.” ‘This farm takes, indeed, its very appropriatename from a bold and limpid spring of the purest water, which gushes from a pebbled bed very near the house. At the back of this spring, which is guarded with great care, and adorned with taste, is a marble statue of exquisite beauty, and of the purest white. It is a petiteVenus, rising from the bath. She stands in the recess, with her feet bathed in the water. CHAPTER Vi, Father Ritchie becomes less ecstatic, and talks of Hydro- statics. But there is more than beauty about the spring. The value of this delightful fountain justifies the attention bestowed upon it. Various are the pur- poses which it subserves. Its stream, carried off in a small iron pipe, mph water for a spacious dairy, a handsome fish-pond, and for delighttul baths. But the bijou of the whole establishment is a_ neat com- I, and his wines, and his viands, and all that is his. The whole production is one of the very choicest specimens of Father Ritchie's lite- rary powers. ‘The playful wit—the sententious phi- losophy—the overflowing good-humor—the exqui- site bonhomme—which are so characteristic of Mr. Ritchie, are all mingled here in the most delicious manner. We trust that Mr. Ritchie will go on in this new field of literary labor. Now that he has done the business for Mr. Polk’s administration com- pletely, and placed it beyond all hazard, we do hope he will proceed in the work of embalming all the ex-editors and distinguished democrats who now meekly bear their blushing honors in retirement.— Farmer Blair has been touched off to a nicety.— Every good boy will deduce the proper moral. “Be virtuous and you will be happy,” and one day may- hap rejoice in the streams of “the Silver Spring.” Theatricals. Panx Taeatae.—The French Company is thrown into deep mourning by the sudden death of one of its most esteemed members, Mr. Cruriot, who departed this life at 7 o'clock yesterday morning,after a very short illne: It is nota week since that young but talented artist, just recovered, as was thought, from his indisposition, was delighting the audience with his singing, and to-day he is a corpse. The death of Mr. Ceuriot will long be lamented by those who knew him, for he was not only a good ar- tist, but also a good and sincere friend, and the high esti- mation in which he was held by his fellow artists, is very apparent in their sorrowful and dejected looks, since they received the sad intelligence of his decease. Through respect to Mr. Ceeuriot’s memory, the Park Theatre was closed last evening. ‘To-night “La Muette” will be repeated, and Miss J. Turnbull, who kindly volunteered her services, will act and dance the ett of Fenella, the dumb girl. This young artist will also dance the “‘Tarentalla,” a celebra- ted Neapolitan dance, introduced in the third act, con- jointly with Mr. Martin, who also volunteered ; Mad’e Couriot being, asall our readers will understand at once, prevented by her mournful loss from taking part in the performance. Mr. Buscher will retain the part of Alfonzo, which he acted on the night of the first repre- sentation ; having i for the oc- casion, he will no doubt feel le: id as a mat- ter of course will be better able to give to his actin, the proper expression, andtohis voice its accustome: a Meters: Anand andiGerry-arll ain—the first M rnaud an will appear again—the firs 43 Masaniello, and the second a iret M’me Casini will also smg again the part of Elvira, which she told with much success on last Monday night. “La Muette de Portici” is an opera well calculated to captivate the public, the instrumentation being of the highest order, andthe success which it met at its first appearance, will no doubt induce many to attend its se- cond re] ntation. Copies of the French ain neatly printed, witn the English translation by B. H. Revoil, can be procured at the box office, and will be found of much service to those who do not thoroughly possess the French language, and who mvy wish to become acquainted with the plot of the operas. Bowery Turatre.—Sir E. L. Bulwer’s excellent comedy of ‘‘ Money,” was substituted at the Bowery last night for‘ Charles the Second.” It was decidedly snc- cessful. Good humor and hilarity prevailed, together with a strict attention to the dialogue as it proceeded, Mrs. Phillips appeared as Clara, Mrs. Madison as Lady Franklin, Mrs. Sutherland as Georgina. The force of the company was brought out, and that effectively ; and although there was not quite so much noise, as is gen. erally the concomitant of an exhibition of delight by a large audience, there was clear evidence on every smiling face—in every sparkling eye, that pleasure reigned paramount. Had the author only been near the ticket office, to see the amount of small change given by the Bowery boys for his “ Money,” he would most likely write a work on the currency, and show therein, that Dickens’ notes were not the stuff “ for general circul: tion.” From present appearances, this “Money” is a capital investment ; let the manager keep it in the mar- ket several nights—the stock is sure to ri the curtain does, on the representation of ‘‘ Money. ‘A calculation of the,number present last night would be impracticable, but if necessary it might be approach- ed with a good deal of pecnnagy: We said yesteney in our notice of the two memorable performances, that had then been past, that the Bowery was quite full on both occasions. It is not aes agreeable to make a state- ment, however true, which savors at all of paradox ; but candor compels us to declare that if the Bowery was full on the opening night, and that which succeeded, it was something more than full last night. Those who are du- bious need not expect a mathematical demonstration of this at present; by far the shortest way to have their doubts removed would be a visit in proper person to that great, glorious, and almost free establishment, But badi- nage a part, there has been nothing like the attendance fat this theatre since its recent opening for a long time in New York. The palmy days of the stage are returning, and it is enlivening to be present at the indications of it, that are nightly given here, The light of other days is not quite faded yet, at least it now shines nightly at the Bowery, with all the effulgence of the past. Let it be cherished. It will not go out if not neglected. If you had seven sons, the first moral duty you ought to teach each of them, would be, to forswear the cheap and nasties, and addict themselves to the Bowery. We _ have merely to add, that the enchanting spectacle called the Sleeping Beauty, was repeated last nignt for the third i ‘he impression it made was fully as vivid as on revious occasions ; it is not a thing to be tired with soon, and we hope to see it yet frequently repeated. Castie Garven.—This Garden continues to be throng” ed every night. This evening the Elisler Brothers wil) appear in a new act, with all their wonderful feats, and Herr Cline will repeat his admirable scene of the “Vete- ety of functions it performs as for the beauty of the machinery which puts the whole in motion. The water of the spring is conveyed up a perpendicular pipe, which discharges itself into a small horizontal trough, that empties into the buckets of a small over-shot wheel. This wheel is about twenty-two feet in diameter; the rim sey thin and very light— made upon. the principle of the arch, with iron spokes to bind it es It appeared to us as if a art of water would put it in motion, along with the machinery which it moves in the interior of the mill. Here it performs a variety of functions at the same moment. CHAPTER IX. Father Ritchie describes a wonderful Mill—a Democratic Mill—Grinds everything. “ All's grist that comes to his mill.”—Blair's Rheteric. ‘The. fine structure and ingenious machinery of this mill enable it to thrash out grain; toclean, grind and transfer it to convenient repositories; to shell corn, to convert it into hominy and meal; and also to grind corn and cobs together, tor horses and cows; to cut hay, churn butter, and, in the lower “basement floor, to wath clothes by means of a labor saving machine. The whole mull was built under the direction, and, we believe, by the patent of Mr. Page, late of Baltimore, now of Washington. CHAPTER © Father Ritchie relates a touching instance of Farmer Blair's generosity. We understand that the whole establishment was itself, and so satisfactory to Farmer Blair, that his own generosity added something considerable to the amount of the contract. CHAPTER XI, Father Ritchie visits the dairy and finds the eveam dilicious. We visited, too, his stalls and his farm pens, where we beheld many noble animals of the finest breed. Ina single building we counted sixteen of the best cows, all confined to neat and separate meat, and daily yielding a large supply of delicious milk. CHAPTER x11, Father Ritchie can keep a secret. “| knows what I knows, But I winna tell you.” _ We will not say how many milk-pans we counted in the cool dairy of the lady of the mansion. CHAPTER xin.

After an experience of nearly twenty years, and a resort to every kind of pacific policy by government, it seems now to be the settled opinion of the oldest inhabitants thatall the Indians must be removed, and kept beyond the settlements.

But while passing out he was accosted by one of the lookers on, who informed him that his fif- teen dollar watch was hardly worth so many cents—the cases being made of galvanised tin, while the inner works would not beara very nice scrutiny. A crowd immediately collected, who learning the circumstancee entered the auctioneers office en masse, und demanded the restoration of the money. After some sbuflling on the part of the auctioneer and Petor Funks, the money was returned, anc tre verdant youth departed, having learned a lesson which we hope he will impart to all his hbors who come to New York, intending to get bar- gains in gold watches and other valuabies. Row on vyHe Pornts.—An interesting difficulty took place. yestorday in that interesting section of our city, the Five Points, between Louisa Handley, a charming black eyed and black faced damsel and John Roach, the proprietor of a drinking establishment in Orange street. Louisa wished to get a bottle filled with the de- lectable mixture obtained in that vicinity, passing under the name of brandy. Mr. Roach thinking either that she had already quaffed too deeply, or that she was not in possession of sufficient of the needful, to pay for it, re- fused to comply with her request. Upon this Louisa drew a knife, made a furious assault upon Mr. Koach, cutting him several times upon the erms and breast. This of course gathered around a large concourse of the negroes, loafers, &c., who were dispersed by, the ap- sae of the star police, and Louisa was taken to the Pombs.
