N SW YORK HERALD. ————— New York, Sumday, August 17, 1845. War with Mexico at Last!—A Timcous Word | of Advice In the Kar of the Arlministration, | There is no doubt now that war will break ont | between Mexico aad the United States, and the pro- | bubility is, that one of the first hostile movements on the part of the former, will be the issuing of let- ters of marque and reprisal, according to the intima: | tions of Almonte, when in this country. That, in- | deed, is the only mode in which Mexico can make | war against us with any degree of success. Should these letters of marque be issued, ten or twelve mil” | lions of American property, and the whole of the | American trading vessels in the Pacifie,would be at the mercy of the marauders who would thus be called into action ; our naval force is so widely dis- reed, and would be so inefficient in defending our commerce in the Pacific, that a great deal of serious loss would, in that case, be incurred This, then, is the ouly way in which Mexico can strike an eflective blow All along the Adantic border we are perfeet!y cured against any assault from that quarter, and no invasion of our territory could be attempted with the slightest chance of success. Mexico, itis also proper to recollect, has no money wherewith to organize and egitip an active and serviceable mili- Piratical assaults upon our unprotected tary force commerce, and a guerilla: warfare on the frontier, will be the urmost extent of the hostilities which Mexicoca. Wage against us. Still, it is well to bear in mind that she is now, as is announced in certain qrarters likely to be well informed, endeavoring to obtain a loin of ten ortwelve millions from France and England, in order to enable her to carry on this war. Now, in this crisis of affairs, what onght this country to do? What is the government about? The President ought to call the new Con- gress together atonce. It is very true that he has acted with commendable promptitude in ordering troops to the Texan frontier, and the War Depart- ment has discovered an equally commendable de gree of judgmentand alert , in despatching,with all requisite speed, the best and most efficient troops to that post. But still something more re- mains to be done, and that immediately. Congress should be svmmoned together—the annexation measure should be consummated —he President» should be empowered to act at once in every emergency that may arise—the eight orten millions of surplus revenne, now in the hands of depositors, should be in readiness—ard every necessary step taken in this great crisis. The very first hostile blow struck by Mexico will be the signal for ageneral up-rising of the patriotism of this country, and it is absolutely necessary, seeing that no one can tell when that decisive moment may occur, that Congress should be in Washington, so that the whole representative power and authority of the nation can be exerted, to put an end, by one united and decisive blow, to this war, if it do come. We must, besides, show the whole world, and particularly England and France, thet we have the means, under a republican form of government» of protecting our interests and punishing the aggres- sor, on land and sea—on the Atlantie or the Pacifte —on the Texan frontier, or any portion of ovr ex- tended territory. Now, then, we repeat is the time for action. We eal! on the President and his Cabinet at once to awake to the necessity of immediate and decisive action. Let Congress be at once us sembled. Not one syllable can be uttered against the wisdom and duty of this step. Every thing speaks in its favor. It is very true, the organs of the de mocracy—they who aiffectto represent the mighty popular onward impulses of the republic, are dumb» ortalk only in dubious and uncertain terms, no! during even to squeak, unless at the cormmand of the wire-pulling demagogues. But, as an independent organ of public opinion, we tell the President and his Cabinet, that expediency, duty, patriotism, pru” dence, every consideration that ought to weigh upon their minds at this moment, admonish them to in- stant, bold and energetic action,with reference to the present condition oj our relations with Mexico. Again and again, we say, summon Congress without an other hours’ delay. These are the words of truth and soberness. Let those whom they most con- cern mark them well. Socrety at THe Warerinc-PLaces.—Some very curious and amusing reflections do force themselves upon us as we study the state of society at the fash- ionable watering-places. At Saratoga, the pulpit and the gaming table appear to monopolize everything Every day at dinner the highest dignitaries of the church are to be found sitting side by side, in plea sant social commuion, with the gamblers of Park Row. A Catholic Bishop is helped to sauce or pota- toes by a black-leg, and a pious father of the Pro. testant Episcopal church, addresses, in the blandes' accents, notorious faro-table keeper. “My dear sir, allow me to help you to a piece of this chicke: A pious dercon drinks wine with a pimp, and + sanctimonious Methodist parson leers, with a most ungodly expression, upon the pretty actress, whos plate he isso assiduously providing with the gooc things of this life. What a curious picture! Wha a subject for a homily on the hypocrisies of this wicked world! Dirtomatic ano Munitary Movements —Thr Rivit Honorable Richard Pakenham, H. B.

Even in those cases where serious convictions of the necessity o leading a virtuous life may be excited, there is too much reason to believe that the effect is very tran- story, and that the arrested sinner becomes, to use the jargon of the camp preachers, ten-fold more the child of hell than ever. We confess that we have been nota little astonished in finding the Me- thodists, one of the most respectable and numerous religious bodies in the country, numbering probably two or three millions, encouraging these mizcella- neous assemblages, patronizing such profane and blasphemous worship, and sanctioning such grossly ndecent scenes as too frequently disgrace these »ecasions. Here we have large multitudes of beth sexes herding together, for days and nights, in the wild and secluded forest, and every license and »pportunity given to the violent passions of the hu man heart. What a mockery—what a blasphemous profanation of all that is sacred and pure and holy — to call this an assemblage of seekers a‘ter the truths of christianity! Rather let such scenes be culled a revival of the obscene rites of Venus and of Pun — Aad yet these are the scenes over which respectable slergymen of the Methodist church—Doctors in Divinity, save the mark—are found willing to pre- side! This flight of christianity into the wilderness and the forest is all a mockery and delusion and shame. | saw-mill, linseed oil cake manutactory, ani | which was occupied by Mr Joseph Pans "Turatre.—This fashionable Theatre will re- open to-morrow night, with an English Company, under Mr. Simpson’s management.

Previous to the farce the Overture to “La Veneziana” by Julien,will also be play- ed by the Orchestra. The other artists engaged in these two plays, are all of great talent and will greatly contribute by their good acting to the success of the evening. EBoweny Tuearne.—“Pizarro,"will be produced to-mor. row night at this new and splendid Theatre. Also forithe first time in this Theatre, the thrilling drama called the “Shoemaker of Toulouse.” J. R.

Extensive F A fire broke out yesterdaymorning,at 3 o'clock, in a building in Hammond street, ‘a few door above West street, occupied as a steam laundry, marble machine shop. It is supposed that the fire originated in the engine rooin of the laundry, which was in the lower part of the building. ° ‘The flames soon reached the rooms occupied by Messrs. Prouty & Danforth as washing and ironing rooms, and these being filled with clothing, the whole building was soon wrapped in flames. The fire then caught in afrume building adjoinivg, the lower part of owell as a black- smithing and machine shop. This building was soon consumed. Adjoining the laundry was a small shed which was used for washing, and which was built against the large brick building in West street, owned and oc- cupied by Mr. Enoch Morgan as a soap and candle facto ry. By meansof this shed the flames were communica ted to Mr. Morgan’s building, which, being filled with oil, candles and soap, soon sent forth dense smoke and flame, and in two hours was entirely consumed, nothing being lett but part of the walls, At onetime the destruc- tion of the dwellings on the opposite side of Hammoud st was threatened but they were saved by the arauous ex ertions of the fire companies. Mr Prouty, one of tre proprietors of the laundry, was sleeping in the ironing room at the timo the fire occurred, and was awakene: by a faithful dog, and had just time to escape, which he did without saving any of his clothing. The buildings on Hammond street were owned by Mr. William Chauncey, aud we understand that there was no insurance upon them, Messrs. Prouty and Danforth were insured in the Croton Insurance Company for $2000, their loss being $3000. Mr. Morgan’s loss we have not ascertained, but understand that he was insured for Lark one third the value of his building and stock in trade. : Metaxcnouy.—About 2 o’clock yesterday morning, as the sloop Gleaner, of Norwich, Conn., was rounding the battery, intending to proceed up the North River, she came in contact with a small row-boat, in which there n.

I purposed to go roit by the way of Monroe, andto tke the magnificent Empire around the Peninsula to Chicago, and so overland to St. Louis. I was com- pelled to remain in Toledo over night,and the abom- inable ague got hold of me, and [ was glad to hasten back after reaching Chicago.

Reed, the the former representative in Congress from this dis- triet. Passing along up the lake we saw several small towns, Connuaut, Ashtabula, Fairport, and when ar- rived at Cleveland, we found quite a_city-like look ing place. ‘There isa vast arnount of business done here, it being the outlet of a rich farming country through which extends the Ohio Canal for three hundred and nine miles. _ We made hurried calls at several places—Vermil lion, Huron, Milan, an active, busy place, famour for being a great wheat market; Sundusky City, which is destined to be a place of no little’ impor- tance, when the Lake Erie and Mad River Raulroad shall be sombeed to Cincinnati It will be the lake port for nearly all the travel across from the lake country to the south.

I saw in the store- houses and upon the docks, large quantities of mer- ehandise marked for Cincianat, Nashville, Louis ville, St. Louis, and other places in the south anc south-west, which had been sent from New York. 1 left Toledo and proceeded by land, about thirty miles, to Monroe, Mich. This city is beautifully located upon the banks of the River Raisin—tamou: tor Winchester’s deteat, and the massacre, during the last war. It has a population of about 3,500 inha- bitants, I should judge, and is a place of an active buBiness. The southern railroad, belonging to the State, which 1s completed and in operation to Hills- dale, about fifty miles inland, terminates here.— There are extensive flouring mills on the river, the one belonging to Merers. Burch & Co., capable of manufacturing about 250 barrels of flour per day.— Should any of your readers, or yourself, penetrate as far into the w st as this, 1 would advise you to put up “no where else” except at Kellogg’s Exchange, where every thing is comme il fuut. From Monroe, | made anotier land voyage to De- troit, through a not very inviting country, along the Jake ana river shore. Detroit is such an old ace, that every body is acquainted with its locality and characteristics so well known, that I will say no- thing upon that point. Every body here has the copper-phobia; you hear nothing but copper, copper, from morning’s dawn until evening’s sun, among all ranks, colors, sorts and sizes.

In out- ward appearance and internal arrangements, they are all hard to beat. And as I saw the Herald re- gularly in each, I judge that the landlords show « good taste in all t ings. As to the newspapers there are three dailies pub- lished here—the Shi Commercial, the organ ef the whig party, edited by Dr. Foote, whom every body dislikes—a pompus personage, full of pretertion, bit who, with the aid of two or three assistants, contrives to make a very good paper. He denounces the Herald, which is enoughto make him anpopu- tar with all seekers for truth. Next comes the Courier, the par excellence organ of the democracy, edited by J. Stringham, Esq. It is barely tolerated tn this community, no one taking it but partizans, who dare net do otherwise. The third is the Na- tional Pilot, ot recent origin, edited by James O. Brayman, Esq ,who makes a lively, interesting and vopular paper.

Another Account of the Appointment of Postmaster— The Excitement. Locotoism: in this city, two weeks ago, was thrown into convulsions, and convulsions too, Re. cording to the opinion of a celebrated Professor o Geneva College, likely to produce death or paraly- sis. On the 21st of last month, the President, after careful investigation into the merits and pretensions of the several candidates for Post Officer here, awarded the prize to Henry Campbell, Esq. He is a man of respectability, of fair business qualifica- tions, and a thorough going barn-burner, who has spent much time and money in advancing the in- terest of his party. As he was a man, however, ex- tremely unpopular with the old Van Buren faction, his success was never dreampt of, nor the idea ot ttallowed to disturb the calculations ofthe other as- virants, among whom there was an interesting struggle. The Lieutenant Governor was wiitten to on the subject, by the Hon. Cave, but he disdained ‘o meddle in the matter, or lacked possibly, couraye to do go, and seeing he has another step to gain in State honors, he might think his interterence would he looked upon as invidious. On all occasions, he shuns the responsibility—it is a habit he pes rofit of it, he will yet have time, in Mgnitata, which awaits him, to reck- the ofiun cum his leisure. _ dl isa digression.

This 1s all—* nothing more my Lord, you may rely on’t.” ‘The whole fight was a fair stand up one. The vie- tor gained the field without even stratagem. The pe- culiur friends of each candidate—aye,those who now bluster the most, assured the President and Post- muster General that each and all of the candidates were honorable men and capable ; but their own pet the most so. Now, however, so blind are men in the madness of passion, they accuse Campbell of being a pertect Don Juan, and at the same time as stupid as adonkey. They “have had the audacity to t frighten ‘the Cabinet—make them write themselves down asses of their own calibre by reversing the appointment. But it is no go—itis understoode: nei- ther the President nor the Hon. Cave will thus stul- tity themselves at the behest of a few disappoint- ed men, whese political influence, at best, is pro- bably not worth a pinch of snuff.

But before this reaches you, I am gor- ry to say, I will have taken my departure for my na- uve city, the “great whirlpool” of the nation, for such has been termed the city of New Youk. A ride of five miles east from the ci'y of Philudel- phia, brought us to ita southern boundary the “ Ta- cony,” a navigable stream, which intersects the river Delaware some two miles to the south east.— Over this two stone bridges are built, one witha span of seven, and the other with three arches; here you enter the town of Frankford at its foot, as | was told by the ‘‘cab-man,” but I thought it would have been more appropriate to have called it the head, for im- mediately on and around this part of the stream, the manufacturing, in all its varied branches, is carried on—calico printing, bleaching, dying, spinning aud weaving, turning, casting, chemical works, and flour mills, &c. After crossing this stream, you follow its winding course a short distance w; itis pursuing its Way, as it comes tumbling down a fallin sight; while upon the other hand, winds an artificial water course, leading to a flour mill, bleaching and dying »stablishment, owned by Col.

The number of inhabitants in 1840 was two thousand three hundred and sixty- five ; for this information I am indebted to an ordi- nance book compiled for the use of its citizes, Since which, | have understood that at this time it is more than double that number. Owing to the great tncrease of foreigners, mostly English, there are in this town eight houses of public worstp, Presbyte- rian, Episcopalian, Methodist, Becca Sweedenbor- gian, German Reform, Hicksite Friends, Orthodox Friends ; also a large public schoolhouse, three fire-engme companies, one insurance company, a Lyceum Hall, market-house, post-oflice, six hoiels, and a printing-oflice, where 1s issued weekly a little sheet, called the ‘* Herald.” One mile eust of Frankford on the river Delaware is the beautiful village of Bridesburg, where the steamboats make excursions from Philadelphia. It contains many handsome dwellings, aneat little church, and schocl-house. I passed a Sabbath there, attended worship, Was much pleased with the speaker, a Rev.

Yesterday afternoon was committed to the county prison, in this city, a boy by the name of Stephen Blackman, of Danbury,for shooting another boy by the name of Elizur Hills, in East Hart- ford. It appeared yesterday, oa trial, before the Justices, in Eust Hartford, by whom he is commit” ted for a further examination, a week hence, that the aforesaid boys are apprentices to the hatting firm of Reberts & Hills,in East Hartford—that a quarrel has also existed between them for a long tume—they both board with Mr, Roberts—and on Tuesday, the 13th, went out a gaming together—and when sitting under a tree tegether, Blackman rose, and soon his gun went off, or was fired off by him. The charge entered Hiil’s neck, passed through it, and lodged in his shoulder, happily not touching acy artery. Hills averred before he became speechless, (as testified to in court,)that whilst sitting under the tree he thougot he heard Blackman’s gun being cocked—turned his head, and ‘‘saw B. aiming at him as he would at a bird,” and at the same second received the entire charge as above stated. Hills lies in a very critical state, but slight hopes are en- tertained for his recovery. _ i It is whispered around in our city, that our Su- preme Court has granted an injunction in the case of James Dixon, our new member of Congress, or the tntield Bridge Co. vs. Hartford and New Haven Railroad Co , the effect of which will be to stop the cars crossing the Railroad Company’s bridge at En- tield, because the uccursed ** vested rights” of the Entield Bridge Co gives them the power to prevent said crossing, if the Railroad Co. will net pay an enor taey neither take trom or receive frum said Bridge Co.
