NEW YORK HERALD. New York, Monday, August 18, 1845, News from Europe. Grorgrtown Cotiecr.—Some of the letter wri: ters at Washington have been circulating various statements calculated to injure this excellent estab- lishment. The Ezpress of this city published some days since a letter affecting to give some starthng The Hibernia, Captain Ryrie, with a week’s later information relative to an alleged recent papal bull news from Europe, is now due at Boston. been at sea thirteen days. An Extra Herald will be issued immediately after the receipt of her news. War with Mexico. ‘She has | Tequiring the ecclesiastics connected with George- town College to refrain from any association with their fellow-citizens of other persuasions, and some remarks of a similar tenor were made by ene of our own correspondents. We have reason to know The prospect of a war between the United States | from the best authority that these statements have and Mexico is now the topic of universal interest been altogether incorrect, and we do not doubt that Every body is speculating about the probabilities o! they were originated by persons who are jealous of an immediate and serious collision between the two countries. Financiers are big with schemes of an- ticipated successful operation. The timid are near- ly frightened to death. Wise men wonder why the President has not yet summoned Congress together. Father Ritchie cracks his jokes and his walnuts and laughs at the solemn countenances round the table, silently admonishing him to awake to a sense of his duty. Sunday newspaper editors, living on the crumbs that drop from the tables of the daily press and kind-hearted restaurateurs, shreik out “war!” “war!” “war!” and in every direction you find that the question of our relations with Mexico, and the chances of a war, is the all-ab- sorbing subject of inquiry and discussion. No wonder, indeed, that the public mind should be thus seriously and universally awakened to a sense of the pressing importance of the present con- dition of the national affairs as respects our rela- tions with Mexico, The latest intelligence from Mexico confirms all that we have again and again predicted relative to the course which the government of that country was likely to take an opposition to the consummation of the annexation of Texas. It is now perfectly appa- rent that the settlement of the boundary line be- tween Texas and Mexico will be effected only after @ serious, and it may be, protracted struggle between the two countries. Mexico has repeatedly declared that she will never consent to a recognition of the Rw Grande as the boundary line. But the United States must insist upon that at all hazards, and we have already taken the necessary initiatory steps. r troops occupy the disputed territory. They will maintain the claims of Texas. Mexico ha: denounced this movement as a direct and open act of hostility, and declares her determination to re sist it. Friendly intercourse between the twogo- vernments has been formally suspended. Our com- merce is avowedly threatened, and we expect by every fresh arrival to hear of the issuing of letters of marque and reprisal by Mexico, and the commence- ment of that systematic assault upon American trading vessels, for which we have been for some time past preparing our readers. The intelligence whrch we published on Saturday last is sufficiently significant, and fully confirms these views. We are not left any longer in doubt as to the course upon which Mexico has determined. What is to be the result of all this?) That is the inquiry which suggests itself at once to every re- flectingmind. Mightier consequences are to be evolved from the events which are now developing themselves, than many are able to imagine. We believe that we are now 1n the commencement of a new era in the history, not only of this republic, but of the nations of the world. It is only the true phi- losopher who can rightly and intelligently explain the history of the past. It is the very highest exer- cise of true philosophy, rightly and intelligently to discern the present—to anticipate the future, and from the shadows which coming events casts be- fore them, to deduce the appropriate conclu sions—teaching, warning, advising, and lead- ing men in the path of duty and of safety.— The present is one of thoseepochs which at once invites and commands the exercise of such philoso- phic thought and admonition. Let us, then, inall humility—whilst the President and his Cabinet are peacetully dozing, and the leaders of the people are forming profoundly cunning schemes for the “ suc- cession,” and the government organ deals out its bastard witticisms—let us calmly and sincerely re- gard the present aspect of affairs, and see if common sense and a little sober reflection do not help us to some not altogether unprofitable conclusions. It isnow nearly one hundred years since the first decided murmurings against foreign tyranny and misrule began to be heard in the North American Colonies. Gradually that awful wailing of outraged and trodden-down humanity swelled into a loud and warlike strain,that broke upon the affrighted ear of ancient despotism, and summoned the followers of liberty to the rescue. In rapid succession followed fresh and more provoking aggression—remonstrance —insolence—-entreaty— injustice—petition—rebel- lion. The oppressor fillec up his measure of ini- quity and wrong, and the glorious struggle of the **Revolution” began. Then, Freedom dressed in blood-staiued ves To every knight her war-song sung— and the fields of Lexington and Concord—of York- town and Saratoga, gave everlasting token that the summons was not unheard. The British yoke was thrown off, and colonial servitude was exchanged for unshackled independence. That was the begin- mang of a new and glorious era in the history of our race. Afterwards came the French Revolution, with all its tumult, biood and terror—its awfu, processions of carnage and revenge,—its shifting and stormy scenes of popular disorder and riot,— like one of those terrific visions that make up the distempered dreams of wicked men. But yet that awful event was full of glorious import to mankind The alhed despotisms of Europe crushed, it is true, the master-spirit of that day, and restored the ancient dynasty. But amid all the din and tumult of that troublous time, the ear of faith heard ringing out, distinct and clear, the knell of despotic government. Anew day dawned on mankind. The vgorrx, a power before unknown, had carried away the gates of Gaza, and, emancipated, stood in solemn gran- deur on the plains below. Since that epoch—the birth of civil and religious liberty—the newborn power of the rrortr has grown up into gigantic stature. As the enchanted hero of one of our sublimest poems exclaims, after awaking from his sleep of a eentury— “ Behold, the twig to which I laid my head, Has now become a tree !” So growing and expanding, the sapling which was planted at the very dawn of the American Revolu. tion, and watered by the blood of thousands of mar- tyrsto liberty, in this and the ancient world, has now struck far and wide its roots, and defying the utmost fury of the tempest, offers to all men shelter and repose. The infant confederacy of thirteen States, has become one of the most powerful and in” fluential nations of the earth. Man has been awak” ened from the sleep of years., Over all lands a spirit has taken wing which is destined to carry civil and religious liberty the ends of the earth. Everywhere the people are arising in vindication of long violated rights. Steam—the railroad -the magnetic tele- graph—science in all its departments, are g ving new impulses to the onward movement of liberty and the people. Such is the period when we see the signs of ap- proaching war—and such we believe is the begin- ning of another age—a second century in the histo- ry of free government. We may be now on the very eve of terrible revolution amongst the nations of the earth. Petty and insignificant as this colli- Sion with Mexico may appear to some, yet out of it may grow, and that speedily, a conflict all over E Tope, between the oppressor and the oppressed: France and England may be drawn almost as it were insensibly into this quarrel about the settlement of Mexican and the Texan boundary, and a series of events follow, which will usher in an era in the his- tory of mankind still more glorious than that which we have been endeavoring feebly to describe Opposition to New Haven.—The steamboat But falo has commenced running to and from New Ha- ven, daily, at one-half the usual price. This ar- rangement was brought about by the frequent so. licitations of a number of citizens of this eity and New Haven, the extraordinary popularity which this seminary has acquired under its admirable system of man- agement by President Ryder. There is no know- ing but some of Dr. Ryder’s own “ very particular friends” may have had something to do with ths piece of business. The real facts are these. Dr. Ryder is now on his way home from Italy, but in the meantime it is understood that the Rev. Mr. McElroy, of Frede- tick, Maryland, will be appointed president of the college during the ensuing course of studies, and that the Rev. Mr. Mulladoy, its present head, will be stationed at St. Joseph’s Church, Philadelphia. Theatricals. Panx Tugataz.—The popular play of the “Lady of Lyons,” is to be produced this evening for the re-opening of the Park. Mrs. Mowatt will appearin the character of Pauline, Mr. W. H. Crisp as Claude Melnotte, and Mr. Bass as Col. Damas. This celebrated play will be fol- lowed by a grand pas de deux, by the Misses Vallée. The performance will conclude with the farce entitled “ A Roland for an Oliver,” the principal characters‘of which will be acted by Messrs. Bass and Roberts, and Mrs Moss. The intense curiosity excited by the Europeen reputation of some of the artists engaged inthe per formance, will be gratified, and the public willhave, this evening. an opportunity of judging for themselves of the talent of some of the members of the new company. The elected for the occasion are such as will please Yy one, just appreciation of the i merits of the artit their appearance in pieces in which the principal talent ot this country has been seen oftentimes. Mr. Sim; son’s efforts to secure a good company, and the trouble he has been at to engage these artists to come to Ame- rica, deserve a good patron jome of which, in al] pro- bability, will not be witheld from him. Bowery Tueatne.—The success of this new theatre is unparalleled in the theatrical annals of this country. The house is every night crowded to suffocation, and notwithstanding its vastness, it can hardly suffice to ac- commodate the crowd of visitors who nightly congregate within its precincts. Two plays of thrilling interest wil! be acted to-night, in which J, R. Scott is to act the prin. cipal parts—“ Pizarro,” in which he will play Rolla, and We have frequently, during our visits to Wash- ington, had the pleasure of personally judging of | the excellent system of education pursued at George- | town College, and the exemplary character, con- | duct, and proficiency of its students. Both | male and female departments are conducted in the | most efficient manner. in and again we have | been favored with an #@pportunity of attending the | examinations of the pupils, and on every occasion | we have been extremely gratified by the evidences of their progress under the admirable system of in- struction to which they are subjected. In science— languages—philosophy—music—and all the branch- | es of a thorough and elegant education, we have had abundant proofs of the ability of the teachers and the diligence of their pupils. Indeed, the estab- | lishment is a model worthy of general imitation, | and well deserving its popularity amongst intelligent men of all denominations throughoutthe land. Re-Orenine or rae Park Tuearre.—The Park | 1s to be re-opened to-night, and a fine array of dra- mitie talent graces the announcement of Manager Simpson. Mr. and Mrs. Charles Kean—Mr. Lacy— Mr. Brough--Mr. Reeve--Mrs. Mowatt--Miss D’Arcy | —Miss Moss—Miss Horn, and many other stars of | greater or less magnitude are to shine during the | coming season, which we have every reason to an-| ticipate will be prosperous and brilliant in the ex treme. ; The appearance of Kean and his wife on our | boards will be a counterpart to that of Forrest and Miss Cashman in London. Whatever may be | thought of Mr. Forrest as a tragedian, and our | opinions are well enough known, and not altogether | singular, yet if it be true, as has been stated, that a regularly organized effort to put him down was made in London, we do think that we of this region are. called upon to exhibit our sense of the injustice of the enlightened and liberal British critics. Let us then give Kean and Miss Tree, for by that so much esteemed name we prefer designating her, a recep- tion as liberal as American hearts can dictate. Kean is only a second or third rate actor, but his wife is one of the most beaatiful and classic actresses of this or any other age. Let beth have a good reception, and let us thus put to the blush—if that be possible— the illiberal and blackguard critics of London who hissed Mr. Forrest purely because they had com- bined to put him down. Tue New Yorx Custom Houss.—Mr. Walker, the Secretary of the Treasury, denies that he has at all interfered with the appointments and removals in the Custom House of this city, and avers, posi- tively, that he has left the whole business in the hands of Mr. Lawrence. Well, be it so. But Mr. Lawrence don’t at all satisfy the patriotic democra- cy of the ancient school in this region, from what- ever quarter he obtains his instructions. The wor- thy democracy of the Morning News called for “any good democrat” in the place of Mr. Van Ness ; and when the President affectionately gave them Mr. Lawrence, they called out—“ we asked for bread and you gave usa stone,” and so they have called out ever since. There’s no satisfying a certain class of the democracy. Like the soldier under the lash of the drummer, they won’t be plea- sed, no matter how Mr. Polk gives it to them. DERANGEMENT OF THE Post Orrick DePaRTMENT The public press begins to call out against the pres ent miserable management, or rather mismanage. ment of the Post Office Department. We really be- gin to fear that we are to be cursed with a repetition of the loggerheaded administration of its affairs which oppressed us in the time of poor Mr. Wick- lifle. The Courier and Enquirer of Saturday last had am erticle very properly denouncing the want of enterprise and efficiency of the present Postmaster General. This is only the commeacement of the deplorable condition into which this departmen; must fall under its present narrow-minded head. The revenue is diminishing—the new system dees not get fair play—and the greatest disorder will pre. vail before the meeting of Congress. Sream Sure Camurua, Capt. Judkins, left Boston on Saturday afternoon for Liverpool, with ninety- three ‘passengers, ten of whom are destined for Hali- fax. Among the number for England, are the cele- brated vocalists, the Hutchinson family, Von Anto nia G. Viza, Spanish Consul, and Edmund A. Grat™ tan, Esq., British Vice Consul, also Gen. Welsh of the celebrated equestrian troupe. Movement of Travellers.

They had had some words about midnight, and Lambert took up an axe with which he struc! mas on the forehead fracturing his skull. A pi ruptured one of the arteries of the brain, and caused his death. A coroner's ipry, sat on the body on Wednesday and returned the following verdict :— find that the deceased, Pierre St. Thomas, came to his death b: tween n ued his warrant immediately for the appre- ension of Lambert; and Sub-Chief Constable Jeremie started in pursuit, murderer crossed the river in the morning and w: n last on the road to Chambly.

Castur Garpex.—This delightful place of entertain: | ment, the only one opened on Sundays, was crowded last night with lovers of religious music, This is, indeed avery agreeable retreat, and well deserves the patron age it receives nightly from the public. The burlesque Ethiopian Operatic troupe appear agein this evening in one of their popular operas, “Black Diavolo,” which is to be acted with the original musi of the opera of Fra Diavolo, of which it is a very amusing parody. Mr. Parsloe will dance a pas comique, and by his agility add to the attractions of the evening, and to the delight of | the audience. Ninto’s.—Rice, the renowned Jim Crow, commences an engagement to-night in a new sphere ; the tragedy oy Othello has been adopted as an opera, and Rice enacts the sable Moor.

Many make it altogether their place of resort for the evening and seem to be delighted with it. The bill for to-night is a capital one, and will, no doubt, meet with the appro. bation ot the habitués. Mr. Robert Maywood, a veteran member of the pro- fession and a versatile actor,is announced to appear at the Eagle street Theatre, Buffalo, durmg the ensuing week. Asa delineator of Scotch personations, and indeed the higher walks of the drama generally, Mr. Maywood has stood for many Mage withouta rival. His style is fine, and peculiarly his own. Welch, Mann & Delavan’s Equestrian Company, are expected at Danville, Pa., and will perform in that place On Saturday afternoon, August 30th, the above company will exuibit at Williamsport the 25th, at Muncy the 26th, Milton the 27th, Lewisburg the 28th, Sunbury the 29th, and at Pottsville the 1st of September. Mr. J. P. Phillips took a benefit at the National Thea tre, New Orleans, on the ninth of this month. Miss McBride, formerly of the Tremont Theatre, is now performing the leading characters in tragedy and comedy, at the Prince of Wales Theatre, New Bruns- wick.

Sportinc.—There will be some good trotting and pacing matches over the Union course to-day. City Intelligence. Summre Sunpays.—Yesterday was a good specimen of asummer Sunday in New York. The sun poured down his rays with a determined power, and the streets were well nigh deserted. The churches, too, were not well patronised. People will not sit, in this hot weather, ina crowded church, without room even to change their po- sition, Dreathing’the air poisoned by a thousand breaths, and listen to the dull, prosy sermons, such as this hot weather can only inspire ; so the toil-worn artisan, who has spent the week in labor, goes with his wife and little ones into the fields of Hoboken or the woods of Lon; Island, where he can breathe God’s free air, uncorrupte by the exhalations of the city, and send up to Him, trom a’ thankful heart, a silent song of gratitude, that he has the privilege of worshipping Him in one of His “first temples.” And he returns at night to the city, with re newed vigor for another week’s labor, such vigor as he would not have praeeuse’ had he remained all day in the hot city. The old puritanical observance of the Sabbath is fast fading away, and it is coming to be considered, instead of aday when the face should be disfigured, a day of relaxation ‘rom labor, rational enjoyment, and therefore of thankfulness. Imposttions or Can Daivers.—Daily complaints are made about the exactio1 f cabmen, who nevertheless continue as impudent a: Last night two foreigners well nig! felling victims ‘0 the Tomuery of one of fraternity. After having agreed with the driver of cab No. 114 to be taken to a certain part of the city, two gentlemen were outrageously abused, for refusing to give seventy-five cents to the driver, who declined going to an alderman to have the matter settled. Such doings should be put a stop to, and we hope that the I will keep a sharp look out after the fellow, a brother knights of the whip, as this practice is becoming entirely too obnoxious to our fellow citizens. : — Probably twenty thousand _per- sons left the city yesterday on excursions on the North and Fast Rivers, to Staten Island, Hobok d other plac doing a great busine: Cononen’s Orrice.—Death by Delirium Tremens.—The coroner was called this morning to hold an inquest upon the body of James Dekins, a native of England, aged 28 years, who was found dead this morning in one of the ells of the city prison, where he had been placed the revious evening, in consequence of being token thither in adelirious state by a policeman. Verdict—Death by delirium tremens. of resort. The s Brooklyn City Intelligence. Although some of the New York journals have re- cently devoted a few occasional paragraphs to the local occurrences of the ‘Seventh City of the Union,” but few, ifany, of the conductors of those sheets appear to have extended their enquiries into Brooklyn matters, beyond those ordinary items of news generally embraced under the head of “accidents and offences.” Its rapidly grow- ing importance it of extensive factories, foun- dries, storehouses, docks, and other large business and mercantile establishments—and its extraordinary growth in extent and population, do not appear to have attracted the notice or excited the attentionto which it is fairly and legitimately entitled. Nor is Brooklyn the only pl in King’s county deserving of a daily chronicler of ‘p ing events, for Williamsburgh, with ite ten or twelee thousand inhabitants, is soon destined to take a place among the sisterhood of cities, and may be expected to claim her modicum of tribute from the Journalist and Reporter. The Herald shall henceforth—if its presiding thority consents—be the medium through which the ‘arious incidents worthy of note or comment, in Brook- lyn and its adjacent towns, shall be truly and impartially set forth. Many svents there are of daily occurrence in this portion of the great “State of Long Island,” which do not appear in the local newspapers, but which will hereafter—with the permission aforesuid—be duly and regularly recorded, so that the people will soon discover —to the satisfaction of the majority, and the co! tion o1 a few—that ‘‘a chiel’s amang them takin’ n As the members of the Common Council—taking tern by the “ congregated wisdom” of the fa o York—have adjourned until next month, act deeds will not at present meet the scan of the He Brooklyn scribe ; nor are the arrangements of the latter, as yet, completed for entering into a history of ri ous institutions and public places of Kings county, which he will dhem it his duty to notice, with rigid impartiality by re truth. ‘rom the fact of Brooklyn having been—not inappro- priately, styled the “ City of Churches,” it ‘might ree. sonably be supposed, by those who are not residents, that the multitude are remarkable for a strict and proper observance of the Sabbath day ; and, to a certain extent, this is true. But, as in the majority of large cities, there are many lamentable exceptions ; and, though its public authorities are as vigilant and active, and its police as efficient a ay fe the U. States, dog fights, riots, and dis- mblages of ruffian gangs in the streets, are untrequent, on the day set apart for public worship and for rest. A proposition has heen submitted by the Mayor for a new organization of the police, and it is to be hoped that suchyaction will be taken upon it as will effectually put a stop'to the disgraceful ‘exhibitions I ha’ entioned, and to remove from,the corners and side- walks of streets the hordes of infamous vagabonds,whose sole object in assembling together is to insult respectable passers by, If no other mode can pression of this most intolerable n of the culprits in the Herald may have a salutary A number of these individuals have, within a day or two (a been making themselves additionally obnoxious, ry interrupting a camp-meeting at Wallabout, and some of them have been arrested, and, in default of bail, com- mitted to prison, But more of this, and other important matters, to-morrow, Warren Tracey ——Parpon Reruseo.—The New Jersey Court of Pardons adjourned at Tren- ton on Friday, having declined, after a patient hearing of the application of Carter and Parke, to grant them a ardon. ‘Their case has now been finally passed wt hy all the tribunals of the State which have jurisdiction, fi be A bol bo ag beyond a peradventure- They areto be returned to Warren eo for execu. tlon on the 99d inst, bi Se itive be expected from the result of York—A most excellent reprint of work, Moree was arres' this morni: robbed Mic! handkerchief. trial for the offence. Our last advices from New Orleans, bring us the following confirmation of the intelligence, (unoffi- cial) which we gave on Saturday, relative to the closure of the Mexican Consulate at that port :— {From the N.

We translate for the benefit of our readers the following notice, Uy pos in Spanish,) by the Mexican Conul, and addressed to his countrymen : Mexican Consvtate, New Orleans, August 8th, 1845. By order of His Excellency, the President of the Re- ublic, I infgrm the Mexican citizens residing in the Uni- d States, that His Peeler has determined that this Consulate be closed, and that I return to Mexico, taking with me its archives, in consequence of the state of our relations with the United States. In compliance with this order, I will this day close my office, and will sail to-morrow for Vera Cruz, on board the Mexican schr. Relampago. De Annancorz, Consul.

Can it be sulkiness —or is there really an em or declaration of war, made known by the Mexican Consul to the commander of the vessel, which prohibits him from the carriage of American mails!

Marion, Linx Co., lowa, Aug. 4, 1845. Appearance of the Country and the People—Crops in the West—Farming in lowa—Wealth of the West. The world wags on as ever, und I, being a little waggirh, have waged my way across this vast con- tinent to its centre, to this most salubrious clime— this most beautiful and bountiful country—the terri- tory of fowa. Tarrived at St. Leuis early in May, and having some concern as to a convenient passage up the Up- per Mississippi, I strolled along the wharf, where lay a half mile of steamboats, to see if I could, in a lew weeks, get a passage up that river into the fron- tier wilds, when, to my surprise, I learned that not aday passed without one, and sometimes two or three fine steamers leaving for Iowa. Of St. Louis, let me say, it is destined to become the greatest in land town in America, Its location is most beauti- ful and advantageous for the future seat of govern- ment of this mighty republic, provided the abolition- ists will mind their business, T found two prokets in port which made their re- gular trip, weekly, to Bloomington, Towa, 980 mi wp thej river, Tembarked on board the i 6or8 pty pnt or8 in about ‘inhabitants Although not exactly to seek the rude romance of the “ Far West,” I yet expected toencounter it, and had so prepared myself ; but here I found very comfortable quartera at the hotels, and although many of the buildings are what we would expect, rudeand rough, vet amore orderly, quiet, sober, industrious, soci: clever,intelligent, religious, refined, gay and fashion- able set of vi fagers are seldom to be met within the ler States ; and remark will apply to the most of the people I have met with on the “ Frontiers of Towa;” a few exceptions, however, (no offence hope to the “‘Corncrackers, Hoosiers and Suckers”.) Then, again, if these Hoosiers hav’nt fed me, slept me and flea-bitten me, just to my. heart’s content, and although they are not bookish in their manners, and although the squatters sometimes take {the law in their fists and rifles, they are not infested with a horde of fashionable and highly refined vagrants, loafers, dandies, and office-seekers, who sponge, cheat or steal their subsistence from the more in- dustrious. But to the subject of my letter. I intended to have written you comething of the Constitution of lowa, and why she is not at this time like Florida, a State of the Union, but more anon. To-day 1s the gene- ralelection day here, and the people vote for or against the Constitution. A vote was taken last April on the Constitution, but itappears that the peo- ple of Iowa wanted for a State a much larger tract ot country than Congress was willing to grant, and, owing to that amendment, the people rejected the Constitution. ay But the country !—the prairies of lowa—the beau- ties of the scenery—the smooth, dry, ee surface—the healthy appearance both of man an beast—the richness of the soil, and its bountiful and surpassing productiveness, has so engrossed my at- tention and fascinated me here, that I have lost all affinity for the old sterile hills of Washington coun- ty. Let me say to the farmers of New York and New England, (and I am a practical farmer, and ought to know) that if they have any inclination for the far West, they had better sell out this fall. The fall is the best time to move. Itdoes seem to me, that when the present crops go forward to market—the immense quantities of wheat, beef and pork of Iowa, the still greater quan- tities from Wisvonsin, Illinois, and Missouri, and the incalculable amount from the Ohio river—the market will be overstocked. Foreign markets will prevent the prices from sinking to ruin. But when the prices are somewhat reduced, owing to the im- proved facilities of transportation, the products of this great valley of the Mississippi, are destined to bear hard on the farmers of the east. The wheat crop of this middle district of lowa, will average 25 bushels per acre. There are farmers‘in this county, (Lynn) who have this year exceeded 3 000 bushels from 100 acres, and some of their lots will yield 45 bushels per acre, and that too where three or four crops have spose. raised in successive years.— One man with four horses, (a change of team) w Il put in and raise forty acres of wheat, and with the help of the reaping machine, which has proved suc- cessful here, will harvest it. And with the help of a boy, he will raise twenty-five acres of corn, fatten five tons of pork, five tons of beef, keep fifty head of cattle and horses, and 500 sheep. But with so arge a stock he will have to hire three hands one month, to put up hay, which grows on the prairie, and costs nothing. “the market at Bloomington, on the river, fortwo years past, 1am told, has been ibout as follows: Wheat 50 to 624; Pork 2to3; Beef 14 to 2; Corn 10 to 25. This county contains between 4000 and 5000 in- habitants, and is said to be one of the best farmin; counties in lowa. Marion is the county seat. It has an abundance of water power. he Cedar river runs through it, a stream nearly as large as the Hudson’ at Troy, and will answer for boating in high water. This is fifty-five miles from Bloom- ington, where the people of several counties about here do their marketing, and come from the frontier, which is fifty miles beyond this. This season has been most favorable for Ponerae all kinds, The harvest is in, without a grain being damaged. Coxcnester, (Conn ) Aug. 15, 1845. Examination at Bacon Academy—School Oratory— Young Ladies’ Department—Literary Association —Ladies’ Fair—Grand Row. For a year or two past, I have read descriptions of the annual exhibitions of the schools in ‘Bacon Academy,” in your paper. This year I determined to be present myself, and send you the result of my discoveries. The situation of this place is delight. ful, the girls perfection, and the old folks, setting aside some of their assumed importance, full of ur- banity and hospitality. They waited, with great im- patience, for old Bacon to die ; and when, at last, he did so, they took possession of the thirty-five or forty thousand dollars left in his will, and built and en- dowed the academy. All his property was left for the purposes of education, with the exception of a red cent, to an old fuithful negro slave. Opposite the “Central Hotel,” where I now sit, stands the academy, a fine brick edifice, and lofty buttonwoods on either side. A block of granite is placed in the walls, over the door, with the words « Bacon Academy.” ‘To the north, and next to the academy, stands the Congregational Church. It is very tastefully made, and the arrangement of the in- terior appears t> great advantage. The audience on a Sabbath will rival any city congregation, in intelli- gence and refinement of manners. The Rev. Mr. rnold,a man of singularly eccentric ma"ners, deep, original and powerful mind, administers to their spiritual wants. — The examination of the smaller scholars commen- ced on Monday. It was all very good, no doubt, but { did not take much interest in them. — I only dropped in one day, and heard a’boy distressing him- self and the audience with the hard words of scrip- ture. Another scholar having adopted the godhead principle, and considering the exertion of the lungs as constituting the main point of excellence in tnis exercise, delivered himself ot his task, as though he were driving a ten horse team through the slough of despond, and to the utter disregard and confusion of pee trifles as interroga- tions, colons and periods. He proceeded thus until his progress was suddenly arrested by a hard word, and he had liberty to sitdown. Geography was in- troduced. Almost every kingdom of Europe ex- changed capitols in the twinkling of an eye—rivers ran from the ocean to the tops of the mountains—and to complete the catastrophe, Africa started across the Atlantic, and came down plump on the back of South America! The teacher hastily put a stop to t is “wreck of matter,” betore his own chair should slide from und r him. The exercises of the young ladies’ branch was very interesting, and some of their compositions were excellent, 1 have only time to give you the following brief description of the Turks, by Miss “Nodir Shan, when encouraging the Per- sians to attack the Turks, said—* you need not have any fear or anxieting, respecting this nation, for God has given them bat two hapds, one of which is absolutely necessary to prod on their caps, and the other to hold’ up their trou- sers; and if they had a third, it would be em- ployed to hold their pipes; they have, therefore, none to spare for a sword or shield.’” On the evening of Wednesday, the “Literary As- sociation” held its annual meeting. This society is composed of the senior class in the acsdemy,with the alumni as honorary members. They show vowerful minds in the discussion of some ‘of thir abstruse questions. Instance the following—“Sup- yose the moon is made of green cheese, and three fozen of Willis’s letters are equal to a cart load of rotten squashes, how many cabbage stumps would ittake to makeacord of hemlock wood?” The oil in the lamps of the old society had stepped out, ind therefore the Methodist Church was brillantly lighted for the occasion, and filled to overflowing. Rev. Ezra W. Gillet, of New York, delivered the poem, and itstruck every note in the diapason of sentiment and imagination, He soared so high «bove the ordinary writers of the age, that there is difficulty in comparing his production with those of any other aspirant for fame. A friend of oars has suggested that in was one of his sermons put into blank verse. He was rather too limited in his selection of subjects for ‘iscourse. We hope that, another year, Park Benjamin, Esq. who is now a resident of Norwich, and who speat his early years in this place, will be selected to deliver the poem. — Debating societies have resulted in lasting bene- fitto the mass, and when united with “ village Ie braries,” they bring the mind into contace with pictures of the great werld, with the latest diseove- ries in science, geography and the arts, and are widely useful. Howard and Franklin are beginning to share in the popular admiration formerly mono- polized by Alexander, Caesar, and Boaaparte.— Won't the body politic of L——, establish « library in connection with the & a, Wile course of scientific and general lectures? They ould ogrtainiy be more uumerously attended than tippling houses. But we must open on the scenes of Thursday, A tentis erected on the ween which is held the Ladies’ Fair, the availa of which are applied to the support of a Colporteur in the Western States.— The place is filled to overflowing, Topics are as plentiful as snow flukes, and melt away as fast. in the stream of social pleasure. Some are wending their way to the exhibition rooms, where they listen to an eloquence that would have put Ci- cero to the blush, and others to the spacious tent, waving to the breeze the stars and stripes. 'e- unions take place after years of absence. Each party as it comes on, has its own peculiar pictu- reaqueness,—the sparkling eye, the majestic move- ment of the lady in black, the blowing cheek ot the sy eg Lab ati ce a a ae al ig flying Ce jut ne for £0 it 14 the moat vulgar error in the world to think that it does any unt Tt vent the atmosphere, and prevents the intellect ‘Do you patroniee np rai oP very o-fie-ish?

It was a complete bear garden, and the sooner the town send for an efficient police, or a caravan of high sherifis, the better for their reputation. How the pieces were acted and spoken, I nor no one else can tell you. The bills of the day had the fol- lowing arder ofexercises. Prayer, Music, Salutary to Oration in Latin, ‘“The*Press,” “Party Spirit,” “Scenes in the Opening of the rican Revolu- tion,” “The Young Man,” “Sam Patch,” “Science in general, and Phrenology, Mesmeriem and Fou- rierism in particular,” &e. =f In the afternoon, Greek Oration, “Statesmen,” a dialogue, “The Women of our Country,” “The Dangers of ditto,” “The Student,” and a drama called “The Robbers.” In the evening, the “Colchester Amateur Club” had a performance, and the house was more orderly. They had ‘A Cure for the Heart Ache,” performed by “Bashful Men,” ,and ‘T'was All a Farce.” The closing “Glee” was superior to any thing else during the week. We noticed among those present during the week, ex-Gov. Cleaveland, Gov. Baldwin, Judge Oakley of New York, Hon. Kliphalet A, Bulkeley of East Haddam, and others of distinguished note. They appeared very much edified, particularly with the antics of theclownish crowd. 35 Wax street, New York, Aug. 16, 1845.

There has been quite a panic the past week among stock operators, and quotations have steadily declined. Until within a day or two past State and Government stocks have been firm, but prices for these securities gave way yesterday, and sales were made at a decline of one and one anda half percent. This 1s caused entirely by the unfavorable accounts from Mexico, and the probabi- lity of there being a rupture between this government and that. It is impossible at this moment to tell what will be the result of a declaration of war against the Uni- ted States by the Mexican government, but there appears to be at present very little cause for alarm. Affairs in that section} will, Without doubt, be brought to a crisis very quick, and the operations will undoubted- ly be confined principally to the territory in dispute — Our commercial marine is more liable to injury than any other branch of business, but we do not hear of any pre” cautions taken by our insurance companies, in issuing new policies, to provide against capture. The warclause has not, to our knowledge, been inserted in any policies recently issued by our Wall street companies. There is very little doubt but that the Congress of Mexico wil] make some movement if thi: siness, but it is the opi- nion of many, intimately acquainted with Mexican affairs, that a declaration of war will not be made—that however anxious the leaders or the people may be to commence hostilities, the members of Congress are a more cool headed body of men, and are perfectly well aware of the disadvantages under which their country labors, in making war upon a government like the United States. A non-intercourse act, a withdrawal of all their consols and agents from this country, and every other necessary movement required to separate the commercial relationg of the two countries will be adopted ; but we cannot be- lieve that the representative part of the Mexican govern- ment will be reckless or desperate enough to actually make a declaration of war against this country and in* vade any part of our territory. A few days, howover, will settle the question. Affairs have reached a focus and must be settled one way or another very soon. Several of the fancy stocks have, during the past week, been rapidly approaching a level, somewhere in the neighborhood of their real value. Railroad stocks in particular have fajfin off, and Long Island, Harlem, Norwich and Worcafr, and Stonington, have been selling at fifteen and! nty per cent below prices here- . tofore current for the stocks. They are selling now | for all they are actw&lly worth, but still there isa very great margin for a speculative advance. ‘Many of the other fancy stocks‘are now held at prices too high for an advance of any consequence, and although there may bo sometime within the next thirty or sixty days un aetive business done in stocks, and speculation to somo extent — may be carried on, it must appear plain to all that those who operate for a decline will make the most money. We annex a tal iving the quotations for stocks in this market for each day of the week just closed, also the closing prices for the week previous. It will be ob. served, on comparing, that there has been a steady de- cline in prices throughout the past week. Quorations Fon THE PrixcrraL Stocksin tHe New Your Sat, Mon iy. Wed. Thy Br'y. Bat at.
