War with Mexico—inother Step, The accounts received by the way of Pensacola, and published by us in this city, yesterday, furnish us with the intelligence of another step taken by the Mexican government towards a war with the United States. A projet of a law for declaring war immedi ately and for raising fifteen millions of dollars to car- ry on military operations, has been presented by the Execative of Mexico to the Congress of that repub lic. This took place on the 21st of July, agreeably to the intimations given out by our previous accounts received by way of New Orleans. A measure for the declaration of war was, therefore, at last ac. counts, before the Congress of Mexico, and the ques ton immediately arises, what probability is there of that body passing directly and aflimatively on the measure and precipitating hostilities at once? On the probability of the Mexican Congress de- claring war there exist various opinions. Many sup- pose that they willcontent themselves with violent harangues against the United States and empty de- nunciations of the annexation of Texas, but wil take care before they proceed to bring the country into a state of active hostility by any act of theirs.— ‘The pendency of a general election in that republic and the popularity sought tor by all parties, throws them into violent opposition to the United States,ang ex »ressions of the utmost hostility to the annexation me ‘sure. Still it is supposed that good sense and dis- cre ion—that the utter impossibility of such a weak power as Mexico contending — sue. cessfully with such a strong power as ‘the United States, will prevail with men of coo} ness in the Mexican Congress, and prevent them from passing the Rubicon at once. Many, however, ditfer from these opinions, and with great probabili- ty, as being more accurate than those who entertain the contrary. The violent spirit—the recklessness— the ignorance and the folly which prevail in Mexico and must pervade her counsels, may probably have a greater chance of succeeding ‘than moderate coun sels In that alternative there can be no doubt that after a brief space of time the declaration of war will be agreed to, and then comes up the important question, hew that is to be carried out, and what willbe the form which the hostile operations of Mexico will assume ? Tt is utterly impossible for Mexico, in prosecuting awar with the U ited States, to reach us at any tan- gible point excent by the issuing of letters of marque and reprisal, and thus attacking the American com- merce that may be afloat on the Pacific.: On the At- lantic sea-board and along the frontier, they can be met with more than sufficient force to settle the bu- siness in a very short time, but on the Pacific, from the scattered condition of the American shipping in- terests there, itis possible,should letters of marque be issued, that the Mexicans may do us a great deal of damage, even in spite of the American naval forces inthat quarter. In such a case, the United States government is prepared to strike a blow at once up on Texas from the Atlantic, and to proceed with the utmost prompttude and severity to punish al! those who may take part in the act of piracy, as it wil! be considered, upon American commerce. We do not think, however, that in ease of violent or vin dictive hostilities on the part of Mexico, our go: vernment ought to proceed a step without the ad- vice of Congress, which ought to be convened at Washington as soon as possible. Many of the ad_ visers of Mr. Polk at Washington, are in favor of moderate measures—of preserving themselves on the defensive—but such a course of action, it persisted in, will end in utter defeat and disgrace — Nothing but the most prompt, vigorous, determined and resolute conduct on the part of the United States government, in carrying on the hostilities, it they should oceur, ought to be adopted and patron- ised by the Executive, and in order to do that with effect and the whole power of the nation, Congress should be called, in order to enable the government to equip a formidable fleet at sea, and a formidable army on shore, to carry out the war with vigor and despatch. The effect of this movement on the part of Mex- ico, growing out of the Texan affair, even with the apparent inactivity and neutrality of the great pow- ers of Europe, is beginning to be felt in our com- mercial relations. The government stocks have been falling for some days, although the depres- sion has not yet reached State and other stocks. In fact, the government stocks will be the first to fall, for the very first movement in the prosecution of such a war will require an expenditure of nearly the whole ot the surplus revenue now in the hands of the depositories of the government, amounting tc eight or ten millions. An immediate demand of such a sum from the depositories, scattered through out the country, would, of course, create a sudden pressure in the money market—a scarcity of money and fall of stocks. This is the effeet on the stock market. In general commercial affairs the effect is somewhat diflerent. The imports from foreign countries, France and England, are now, and for some time past have been increasing very rapidly, ald are equal to, if not greater, than what they Were at any former period for some years past. The description and character of the merchandise im- ported in such quantities belong, probably, to that elass which 1s not freely and as cheaply manufac- tared in this country, and, in the event of any diffi- culty with European powers, would be the mean® of giving immense fortunes to the importers. Another singular effect growing out of this Mexican war will be increased activity at the sea-ports and immense fortunes made by navy agents. Collectors and other officers cannot be benefitted at all by these expendi- tures; but we should not be at all surprised to see the navy-agents of New York, Pensacola, and New Orleans, in case of a war, realizing, in the first six months, $100,000 each by their usual per centage on the operations in behalf of the government. ‘Thus stand our very peculiar relations with Mexi coatthis time. They are in a most intricate and important condition. A few days will determine, but at present it is the soundest policy for reason- able men to expect the worst, for the probabilities are decidedly in favor of war. Avouition Riots i Li @ToN, KentucKy.— We have received a hand-bill containing an account of proceedings which have been sent by a commit. tee to Cassius M. Clay, requesting him to discon- tinue the publication of an abolition paper in that quarter. It seems there was a public meeting held, and that a series of resolutions were drawn up, re- questing him to desist from publishing his journal. He has published the resolutions and all, declaring his intention to publish the abolition paper there. ‘The next mail will probably bring us an account of a riot in that quarter. Sineutar Deratcation svst Discoverny.—We understand that a singular defalcation has been dis- covered in the money affairs of one of the Wall street jobbers that has passed out of existence. It amounts, it is said, in a series of years,to $10,000. It has created quite a sensation in a small commercial circle, and some property, in houses and lots, has been otfered io hush up the affair. Can the Courier & Enquirer give us any light on the subject ? From Jamaica.—By an arrival from Kingston, Jamaica, we have received files of the Jonrnal up to the 27th ult., but find no news of any import. The colored population of the Island were making great preparations to celebrate the anniversary of their emancipation. Mrs. Carnoti.’s Barss.— Dhese inyaluable bathe kept in elegant style and recommended so strongly by the medical faculty, are located at 181 Fulton street, opposite St. Paul’s Church. Lavxen.--An iron steamboat, intended tor the merchant service, was launched on Tuesday at Kast Boston. Ta Arrairs oF THE EptscoraL Cuurcu.—Some inquiry is made in religious ant pious quarterr, amongst the old ladies and the fashionable divine:, asto the position of the Onderdonk question and the state of the Episcopal Church at this moment— what the two belligerent parties intend to do in re- lation to the Bishop—their prospects—and how they mean to conduct their warlike operations. ‘The last little explosion which was made on this subject—for every now and then an explosion takes place witheut the aid of saltpetre—grew out of a circular which was addressed by certain clergymen in this city to a certain divine in Peekskill. The origin and history of the affair have not been sufli- ciently explained. We understand that during the last spring a number of the clergy, favorable to Bish- op Onderdonk,in this city, had several meetings and consultations relative to the policy which they meant to pursue at the Episcopal Convention which meets in October. Previous to the preparation of this cireular, these gentlemen, by a very extensive cor respondence throughout the diocese of New York, had ascertained that an immense majority of the clergy and a small majority of the laity, forming the members of the Convention, were in favor of the Bishop and of his retaining his present position as Bishop of the Church. According to our accounts, about ninety out ot one hundred and twenty of the clergy are set down as favorable to the Bishop: and probably a small majority, but a certain one of the laity are of the same opinion. In consequence of these facts being ascertained, the circular was prepared in this city and sent to such clergymen only as were supposed to be friendly to the Bishop. It happened, however, that one was sent to aclergyman in Peekskill, who had been sometimes on one side and sometimes on the other, and he hoping to make some little popularity out of it on the other side, published it in a long epistle to the werld, instead of replying privately to what was a private communication. However his effort failed, and both he and his grand project fell to the ground. On the other hand, the friends of the Bishop, strong in the belief that they can far outnumber their oppo- nents in the Convention, are preparing to hold their ground. They consider themselves the friends of mercy and repentance, and are resolutely determined to retain the Bishop in his position. They intend in the meantime to raise an annual stipend for him of $2000, by voluntary contribution, m order to sustain him and shame his enemies into giving up their per- secutions. The Bishop’s friends do not deny that he has been imprudent, discreet, and guilty of having done improper things,but they contend per contra thay he has repented and ought to be forgiven—that he has been led astray by the devil, and the same subtle influence that tempted Eve, and occasioned the fall of man, and that as the founder of christianity died for the sinner as well as the saint, the Bishop ought to be restored, now that he has brought forth fruits meet for repentance. The opponents of the Bishop they regard as full of unkindness, illiberality and all uncharitableness. ‘Thus stands the matter, and certainly the prospect is interesting and exciting. The Convention will be the scene of a terrible contest, and the wars of ithe Episcopal church may prove as important to the pre- sent age as the war with Mexico. Who knows? Tue Correr Mine Specutations or Lake Sure- nion.—We have seen, by certain movements of men and newspapers, particulerly in the Tribune and Journal of Commerce, that a great effort 1s about be- ing made to get up speculations in this city in the copper mine region of Lake Superior, which 1s re- presemed to be one of the richest mineral districts in'the world. This region extends,along the southern shore of Lake Superior, in Michigan and Wiscon- sin, to the extent of several hundred miles west, and over one hundred miles north and south. It is € mountainous region, and according to the speci- mens received at Washington, and exhibited in this city, if these specimens are correct, it must be a very rich and curious deposite of some of the most valuable minerals inexistence. Copper, silver, and gold are found there, but copper is in the great- est abundance, and the yield is said to be from 70 to and his excellent return of Mr. Hackett from England—the opening of the Park Theatre, and the approach of cool days and nights, begin to turn the attention of a large portion of society to theatrical affairs, and to lead the mind to inquire in- to the position of the drama in this country, and the prospects of the highest range of the art during the approaching season. In England, there isa great lamentation made over the drama. Its condition is very apparent in all its departments, and although here and there some slight popularity may be created by particular artists, still the great characteristic of the art in that country, is inactivity and decay. During the last year, various attempts were made in England to revive and restore the drama, with some degree of its palmy and spicy condition. Mr. Forrest, with all his talent, and all his friends, was unable to do much; but he was not a greater failure as an Ameri- can actor, in a foreign country, than Macready him self was. Mr. Forrest played to poor houses in London, and to even worse houses in the country the- atres, By the aid of a number of private letters of in- troduction to Dublin, he was enabled to get up a to- lerably good benefit, but even his benefit was not at all to be compared to the houses which other actors had about the same time. Miss Cush- man has been remarkably successful in England, so far as popularity and reputation are concerned — We understand, however, that her affairs have been badly managed, and her advisers have not been of the best sort. We know, indeed, that she has re mitted $2000 to her friends in Philadelphia, and that she is only in the beginning of her career in England, it she do not mar it by attempting too much, endeavoring to show off her versatility, in- stead of confining herself to the highest ranks of the drama, and thus preserving her dignity. Mr, Hackett was as successful as any other from this side of the water. But still the drama, asa great institution of civilization, is in its second infancy and decay, and none of the actors \or actresses of the present day seem to possess the power of revi- ving it, or of calling forth the educated and intelli- gent classes, as in former times. Music—opera— the ballet, have carried away the senses of the age. Such is the condition of the drama in England.— What is ithere? We believe that in this country we are in a better condition to enjoy the highest ex- hibitions of dramatic skill, and to pay liberally for them, than any other people in the world. Wehave reached that point of civilization ip which the high- est dramatic artists receive. the greatest amount of reputation, praise and money, all at the same time ; and before we have reached that state of decay when the legitimate drama is cast aside for music, panto_ mimeand shows. Mr. Kean andhis lady, and the other ‘talented persons who accompany them to this country,have,we believe,hit upon the most happytime that they could possibly have selected to come here and to exhibit their art with the best hope of reaping aliberal and rich harvest. On a former occasion; several years ago, during the extreme commercia revulsion, Mr. Kean, then quite a young man, less skilled than he now is, made a tour through this country, which was not profitable, although highly reputable. Since then, he has gained in reputation, in skill and every thing constituting an artist of the highest character. His wife, better known to us as the amiable Ellen Tree, always considered by the best critics as one of the most chaste and finished actresses of the present age, cannot exhibit greater skill or a higher order of genius than she did on the occasion of her former visit, but we have no doubt, from the present prosperity of the country—from the public taste—from the increase of our great and po- pulous cities, that both she and her husband will reap one of the richest harvests that any artists ever did inthisland, Their appearance on our shoreshas already created a considerable stir amongst the the atre going people, and we have no doubt that the anxiety to witness their first representations will not only gratify but startle them. y It is a fortunate thing, indeed, for the Park Thea- tre that its management has secured such artists as Mr. and Mrs. Kean, andthe others whose names are 90 per cent. A number of companies have been formed to work these mines, who are authorised, by leases given in the shape of “permits,” under the authori- of the government at Washington. Most of these companies originated at Boston, although the most recent, and supposed to be one of the most success- ful, was started by certain speculators in Troy, ma- ny of them being friends and associates of the pre- sent Secretary of War. This speculation was first began very silently a year or two ago, but during the present summer, a great num- ber of speculators, "agents, miners, minerslo- gists, philosophers and fools have come to this city for the purpose of inducing people to enter into the speculation. They represent the copper region as richer than all the wealth of India in ancient times, and being indeed the true El Dorado of this age. Two of the newspapers, ut least, have entered into this service, and are giving currency to the pro- mises and statements of the speculators — the Tribune and Jcurnal of Commerce. Such is a brief view of the commencement of a great mania for speculation in the copper mines of LakeSuperior. We have received a number of written documents, papers and letters, and all sorts of com- munications from the various parties engaged. The rivalry between the various companies appears te be conducted with great bitterness, But all agree in painting the wonderful riches of the mines. Their gold is something—their silver more—and their copper boundless. But we think there is one meta! which they have omitted to notice—a metal too ot very great use in this commercial world, and parti- cularly in Wall street-—a metal found in the boulders —not the stationary boulders, but the boulders tra- velling in the stage-coaches, rail-cars and steam boats from Boston, Philadelphia and New York, to the copper mines. This metal is called brass, and may be found in the living countenances of those speculators in immense quantities. The value of that already elaborated is equal to many millions of copper. Those of our readers who wish to make fortunes at once, or rain themselves, as chance may determine, had better then enter immediately into this speculatien, Witt Saurrerre "LODE I—ThYs question, which has recently excited almost as much inquiry in the minds of people, as “can a church exist with- out a bishop,” did formerly, was again tested by ex- periment, yesterday afternoon, at Mottville. Seve- ral experiments have been made by several eminent chemists, whose services have been procured by the committee appointed by the Common Council to in- vestigate this matter. At about 5 o’clock, the com- mittee, with Dr. Chilton, Professor Renwick, and other chemists, arrived upon the ground, for the pur- pose of trying the final experiment. A cask was placed in the ground, in which was placed an iron kettle, which contained the mixture to be operated upon, This mixture was saltpetre, united in the same proportions with the other articles which, in Crocker & Warren’s store, were contiguous to the saltpetre. It consisted of 42 Ibs. of saltpetre, 12 Ibs. of sugar, and 12 pounds of mustard. The head of the cask was put in, the cask was hooped, a slow match applied, and all the preparations made for fir- ing. The company, which consisted of about twen- ty persons, now retired to a respectable distance, not willing to trust themselves too near the “villan- ous saltpetre.” ‘The match was lighted, and in about five minutes smoke began to issue from the aperture through which the match was entered, and a noise was made, very much re- sembling the whistle of a steam engine. In a few minutes more, the head of the cask was blown about ten feet into the air, with an explosion about as powerful as that made b: a pop qun. “Saltpetre will explode,” exclaimed a pug onan throwiug up his hands in extacy. But his raptures were somewhat cooled, when the chemists gave it as their opinion that the explosion was merely owing to the weak manner in which the head of the cask was put in—the expanded air finding a vent in the weakest place—the sides were Hot at all shattered. After the explosion, it conti- nued burning a few minutes with much smoke and ablue flame. So the question, ‘ Willi saltpetre ex- plode,”’ is still before the people, announced forthe season justcommenced. And we promise ourselves and the public, at least one season in which the highest range of the legitimate drama will be properly patronized, not only in this city, but throughout the country.

Ste- vens, Esq., to be, sailed for according to the rules and regulatiom of the New York Yucht Club, en- forced at the late regatta in the bay of New York.— This prize was offered, to give such of the Boston gentlemen as chose to enter, an opportunity of test- ing their yachts with those trom New York Five yachts only entered, viz: the Gimerack, 25 tons ; the Brenda, 43 tons; the Coquille, 27] tons; the Cygnet, 45 tons ; and the Siren, 73 tons. The race was round Connanicut Island, ,the distance as mea- sured on the chart, 22 miles—the start given for dit ference in tonnage, was in proportion to that given in New York, which was 45 seconds per ton, for # distance of 39 miles. As the distance here was on- ly 22 miles, the start was proportionably less, viz., 25 33-100 seconds per ton. They started with a fresh breeze from the north east, which continued during the race. The wind, for the first six or sev- en miles of the distance, was fair, ahead for nexteight, and abeam, or nearly so, for the remai ing eight miles. The account of the arrival of the different yachts, was received from the official ti- mer, Mr. Parsons, on board the “ orthera Light.” ‘The differénce, in the time of starting, between the Gimerack and the other yachts, was taken by Mr Hall. The boats were moored side by side, and filled away in succession at a signal made by him. The Gimerack, 25 tons, started at 1 o’clk and 40m.

A lew days more will ‘oul its te Net Theatricals. ‘Pink Tararne.Last evening Sheridan Knowles’ play of The Wife,” with Mrs. Mowatt as Mariana, was presented at the Park. Owing to the unpleasant weather, the house was not so crowded as on the previous even- ings, but was very well filled by a highly fashionable audience. Many persons who have not, heretofore, been in the habit of attending the theatre, have no objection to witnessing the chaste and beautiful personations of Mrs. Mowatt, but visit the Park with their families. This is highly ouraging to the lovers of the drama Mrs. Mowatt’s personation of Mariana, was marked throughout, by the same beauty of expression, clearness of enunciation, and elegance of style, which have won prhera fame, which is seldom obtained in so short a time by an American actress. Mr. Crisp’s St. Pierre, al- though not equal, as a performance, to his Claude, was very well done, and as well received The other characters were well personated. Antonia by Mr. Bass, Leonardo by Dyott, and Ferrado by Fleming After the play, a Pas Styrien was danced by the Miss Vallees, which drew down thunders of applause. They acquisition to the Park. The evening closed w wwland for an Oliver.” To-night the ‘ Lady of Lyons” is agaia to be presented, with the “ Marie. Rake, in after-piece, in which Miss Gordon, from the Haymarket theatre, London, makes her first ap- pearance in America. Go early, if you would obtain a seat. Boweny THkaTne.—There was a very great display last night at this theatre, and notwithstanding the rainy weather, the house was'as crowced as usual. Mr. J. R Scott acted splendidly Charles de Moor, and by the talent he exhibited in the delineation of this character, he well deserves to be placed in the first rank among American actors, He was true to life in all the different situations of this exciting drama, and the loving son, the lover, and the chief of banditti, were all well personated by him. Mr. Henkins also was very natural in the part of Francis de Moor, and appeared to understand well the character he was acting. Mr. Vache, the old Count de Moor, was very successful in his acting, and showed that he had well studied the part he was delineating. Mr Clark, also, 18 an actor of merit, and appeared quite at home as Herman. Mrs Phillips acted well Amelia, and was very successful, especislly in the last scene.” Mr Hadaway was as comic as ever, and in spite of the very dramatic cast of the play, he succeeded more than once in exciting the laughter of the audience. The overture which came after the ‘‘ Robbers of Bohemia,” was very well played by the orchestra, and proved quite an addi- tion to the entertainment. The formance concluded with Shakspeare’s ‘ Soaeny of Errors,” in which all the characters were very well sustained. The same bili will be repeated to-night, and we doubt not that it will meet with the same success it did last evening. Castix Ganpex.—The “Som-am-bull-ole” kept, las night, the whole audience in a roar. It is difficult to imagine anything more comical than these mock operas, Nothing could have been better selected, to drive away the troubles of business than these mirthful composi- tions. The performance will be repeated this evening, to give an opportunity to those who have not yet seen it, to enjoy the benefit of the mirth it creates, It cannot fail to be again numerously attended. Nimio’s—To-night the benefit and last appearance of that eccentric genius, Rice. We know of no one who has more justly earned his high position than Rice—ex- cellent in private life—a deep student in his particular line. He is popular with all, and golden opinions have ever greeted his exertions. Brougham, we observe, plays on the occasion. ‘There will be lots of fun, for Brougham’s “ Teddy,” and Rice’s ‘ Ginger Blue,” ever create roars of laughter. The concert given by Rosina Pico and De Begnis, at Newport, on Monday night, was so crowded, and they were so well received that they intend to give another. ‘They then go to Saratoga en route for Canada. The Fakir of Ava is going to perform his Hindoo mi- racles, at Liberty Hall, New Bedford. Dumbolton’s unrivalled company of Serenaders com- mence this evening a series of Concerts at Stanwix 4all, Albany. Mr. Burton, of the Chesnut theatre, Philadelphia, has engaged for the ensuing season the following artists : Mr. and Mrs. Chas. Kean, formerly Miss Ellen Tree, the new Opera troupe, censisting of Miss Delcy, Signor Ro- phino Lacy, Mr. Reeve and Mr. Brough, Mr. Anderson, Mrs. Mowatt, and another actress of celebrity, but new to the city of Philadelphia, The Slomans have gone from Detroit to Chicago. Fry’s opera of ‘ Leonora,” is to be produced this soa- son at the Park. Rio ve Jaxeimo Tueatres.—Tuxatro ve San Pepro p’ALcantora.—Sra. Henriquetta Pessina, a dancer of reat merit, took a benefit at this theatre on the 30th of june last. The performance was well attended, and a great number of boquets and wreaths of flowers were sent from all parts of the house to the Brazilian favorite Turatno pe Santa THenesa.—Closed for the present. Larter FROM Vexezveia..—We have received, per the barque John W. Cater, private letters and papers of the date of July 26, the substance of which are ERTO CABELLO, VENEZUELA, as follows :— July 26th, 1845. : We have the satisfactionto enclose you herewith El Literal, published at Caracas, on the 19th inst., containing a translated copy of an official communi- cation, addressed by our able minister, the Hon. Vespasian Ellis, to the Secretary of Foreign Rela- tions of the Venezuelian Government, relating to the high duties, which, by the present taritf of this country, are exacted upon flour and other articles imported from the United States. f he very forcible, and we may be permitted to add, the incontestible argument of Mr. Ellis,urginga reduc tion of the duties manent ella exports, or ratht1 imports to Venezuela, will most undoubtedly have great influence with the Executive, and in ull proba- bility induce thatdepirtment to recommend to Con- gress, next Session, a revision of the tarriff. Mr. Ellis observes among other things, the fol- lowing, which we translate, literally {rom the Pu . Manrique is aware of the fact, that coffee pays no import duty in the United States, which is the principal production of Venezuela; and that only 6 per cent i paid upon indigo, hides and other articles exported from this country ; wi ilo this government has imposed a duty of eighty per cent upon flour, and sifty to seventy per cen on lard, soap, butter, and jr important articles intro duced from the United St ‘The average rate of duties imposed upon other impor- tations from the United States, including articles tha‘ pay duties and those which are admitted free, am unt: to thirty-four per cent ; while the average rate exacte upon the productions of Vemezuela,inclyding the article: subject to duty and those admitted tree, amounts to Less than two anda halfpercentum. In other words, Vene- auela exacts {from the United States an average rate 0} duty, fourteen times higher than that which the Unite: States imposes upon the productions of Venezuela, be ing an average of their respective importations. Having before us this unquestionable fact, derived from statisti- cal documents of both governments, the undersigne: begs that Mr. Manrique would be pleased to reply whe. ther this is reciprocity ?” It is certainly absolutely necessary that our gov- ernment should give its serious attention to the in terests of the citizens of the United States, as they have suttered from the absence of a proper energy on the part of our former Secretaries of State, wii have generally allowed their time to be monopolised by electioneering affairs and office seekers. Mr. Buchanan has the reputation of possessing great powers of mind, perspicuity and energy, be- coming one of our first official personages ; there: fore, we may anticipate, through his diplomatic ex- ertions, superior advantages in future for the com- merce of the United States, spread over the world Tt is pleasing to reflect upon the prospects which are presented for the future greatness of this beautiful country ; the gradual, but real improvements eflect- ed. The increase of commerce with all nations, (excepting, probably, that with the United States,) opening of carriage roads from the coast to the two principal cities of the republic—increase of primary schools and colleges in every part of the country— the decrease of the military influence which former- ly existed, and the respect that is manifested for re- publican institutions, by the people, denote to us an onward march to the highest state of civilization. Casting a glance over the history of this country, from the fitth of ie 1811, to the termination ol the struggle with the Spaniards, in 1824, it gives ue room toadmire the steady patriotism of a great bo- dy of beets during a period of devastation and death. he Declaration of Independence of the Department of Venezuela, emanated frem a body composed of the most venerable and respectable of the land, and deserves to be placed with that of our own country, for its beautifal, eloquent and power- ful exposition of the grievances under which the co- lonists sutiered at the hands of the Spanish govern. ment and minions. From the year 1811, until .he final overthrow and expnision of the Spaniards repughort the continent of America, what crueltier and fiendlike atrocities were committed, by author- ity and *xpress orders of the Spanish commanders ! The names of Boves, Morales, and hundreds of others, are consigned to eternal execration. The obstinacy of the Spanish government had prevented a reconciliation until this year. A treaty has been negotiated between the two governments, by which Spain recognises the independence of Venezuela, and awaits the ratification of the Spanish Cortes, tor its publication here in an official manner. The ladies beg to present their kindest and most “insinuating” compliments to you particularly. The girls of this country are the most beautiful, proba- bly, you ever did get your eyes upon. Pray do re- memb*r us most kindly to uncle James K. Polk, and cousin Buchanan. Please say to them, that we should be happy to know what they intend to do in te tothe Oregon question. John Bull is a good fellow, but we must not dig too far into his pockets, otherwise he will give us a “Punch” under our fitth rib, as the Irishman said. Our respects to the young editor, Mr. Bennett, Jr. We learn from the New Brunswick Courier that a roject has been started for a railroad communication tween Canada and Nova Scotia, through the Province of New Brunswick au the territory aequired under the late boundary treaty, ¢ capital of the proposed com- pumy £2,000,000, is ” , Guard, Capt.

Both companies presented a fine appearance. Maxine Reapy.—Orders were received yesterday at the Navy Yard, to prepare for sea the U. s ship Col lum- now lying at the Brooklyn Navy Yard. Persons are now engaged ia fitting her with munitions of war.— It is not difficult to imagine for what Purpose these pre- parations are being made. Map Co the cow, becoming infuriated, his hold and rushed upon him. how: her, and escaped without injury. The: time near the corner of Varick & Canal streets, The cow madly rushed up Caral street, and reached the corner of Varick, just as Dr. G. W. Chapman, of 95 Canal street, wascrossing. The infuriated animal rushed u, mn him, and gored him severely inthe Jumbar region. The cow still continued her mad career along Canal st, spreading nsternation on all around. Pedestrians retreated into the stores, and riders drove faster. When: she reached the corner of Church street, she ran against a man who was crossing, and knocked him down, without injuring him very severely. She now turned into Broadway, and near the corner knocked down two other men.’ She rushed up Broadway to Grand street, turned into Grand street, and rushed upon Mrs. McKinney, of 529 Broome street, whom she tossed into the air, and gored very severely in the thigh. In fallin, her head struck upon the curb, which inflicted a » vere wound upon the forehead. The cow pro ed, without doing any further injury, as far as C tre street, down which she rushed. Here a crowd of persons running after her, drove her madly on, and she singled out a gentleman upon tl walk, whom she pursued. He, in fleeing from her, fell into the gutter, which she leaped over without injuring him. Near the corner of Anthony street, being well nigh spent, a man seized her by the tail, and wound it round a lamp post, which brought her to the ground. An axe was now brought, with which she was immediately killed. We regret to say that Dr. Chapman is very dangerously wounded, and fears entertained that he will not recover. Dr. Mott, who was immediately called to his assistance, thrust his finger into the wound, which is nine inches in length, and could not reach the end of it. It must, there- fore, be six or eight inches deep, and Dr. Mott fears that the liver was reached by the horn. The others are not seriously injured. Tux Mock Auction Stones.—The new system adopt- ed by the Mayor and Chief of Police, is calculated to effectually put a check to the nefarious practices of those wholesale plunderers, who, in defiance of all law, have hitherto carried on their impositions, preying upon the gullibility of the casual visitor, who may chance to be lured into their dens, by their base devices. The entire community look forward to the carrying out of the ad- mirable system lately adopted, to put down these stores ; and we seriously trust the Police will continue their eflorts until they are completely routed. Movements of Travellers. The increase yesterday of travellers over the pre- vious day was at Teast double. Such’ a torrent would be overwhelming, but for the number of departures, which were even more limited than usual, from the mul- titude of attractions with which the city at present abounds, theatrically and otherwise.

Shortly after leaving the carriage, Mr ft. discovered his loss, and proceeded to Mr. Robert Kerrison, the owner of the coach, in whose possession he found the wallet; the money had, however, been abstracted. The driver was accordingly arrested by J UL. Lowe, the newly-appointed Hack Inspector, and held to answer to the charge of taking the money and appro priating it to his own use. Pocket Picked —Mv. George W. Charley, of Provi- jence, while on board the steamer Neptune this morn- ig, at the usual place of landing, was robbed uf $878 in com mead on the Exchange Bauk of Smitufleld, Rhode island.

Discharged —Two lads, named James Dama: Howell, whose arrest on suspicion of having stolen some gold watches from tne store No. 252 Grand street, were his morning discharged from prison, it being shown that they were not guilty of the offence charged. John Dunn, arrested a few days ago, on a Charge of robbing a man in the street, was aiso discharged. Hetsey Lee, whose ar- est for obtaining groceries and other articles under false pretences, as published this moraing, was honor- ably discharged by the magistrate of the Upper Police. Caught at the Maney Drawer.—A juvenile offender was last evening caught at the money drawer of Mary Ann Byrnes, No. 41 Centre street. A Star in Aeoet ien Banta, one of the Star Police. last evening took up his station in a porter house, and left the rogues to make the best harvest they could. He was compnees of by Wm. Osborn, and no donbt the Chief will attend to the matter, and free the Police force from such unfaithful servants of the public. Another Indecent Exposure —Policeman Closey, of the First Ward, last evening arrested a fellow, who gave his name aa James Brown, for indecently exposing Tis per- son, in rene of females, on the Battery. Theft of Crockeryware—A man named Henry Stqne, was arrested by policeman Campbell, charged with stealing a quantity of crockery ware, from the premises No. 62 Pearl street.

Dinnedoff, last night entered the hat and cap store No. 103 Fulton, ein jhown an assortment of caps, selected one that fitted his cranium, when he coolly walked out of the store, probably presuming that ‘the proprietor would tax each subsequent customer an extra shilling. until the loss he had sustained had been made up. His arrest for the exploit doubtless changed his views on the subject. Grand Larceny. —A female named Mary Murphy, was arrested this evening by Prince John Davis, ona charge of stealing a piece of flannel, and other goods, wort! $50, belonging to Mra. Mary Downey, who was burnt out during the late conflagration. The goods were found concealed at Ne. 43 Liberty street.

According to the best information that could be ob- tained in the case, it appeared thata whi e woman was married by Theodore J. Wright, pastor of the first Presby- terian church, for people of color, on the 24th of Decem- ber, 1842, to a colored man named Henry Cornelius, and on the 18th of Dec., 1843 the before named female was again married to Geo Chase, certificates of which marriages wero Aaly duced. The singular part of the affair, however, is fact that both husbands lived in the same hous thermore that the colored man was cognizant second marriage, aud that he officiated as wi the family of Watts, who was ne jtome the greater portion of his time, rant of the woman’s first marriage until th when it came to light in consequence of dis something improper foing forward, that induced Cor- nelius to produce in his own defence, the certificate of his marriage. ‘Marcus Cicero Stenley—This individual was yesterda arrested on complaint of Herman H.

His Honor referred the case to the Corporation Attor- ney, on the ground of its involving a point of law. The question as to the liability of the owner in such a case, being the only matter in dispute, admits of no second construction. The abuses in the cab Speen te omnibuses and hacks also—have so frequently been made the subject of just and indignant commentary, that unless some exam- ple be made, which will enforce a due ebservance of the city ordinances, there will be no security for the stranger or sojourner who may chance to visit our city.

A settlement hes been formed within the last two or three months high upon the San Gabriel, near the old Towacannee fort, about fifty miles north of Austin— Twenty or thirty families are now located near this fort, and it is expected that forty or fifty more will settle there during the summer. Another settlement has been formed on the Medina, twenty miles above Castroville, and ten or fifteen families are now located at that point. The valley is remarkable fertile and capable of producing large crops of corn, wheat, potatoes and culinary vegetables yandangg. Castroville is rapidly im- proving. Th about two hundren men at this place capable of bearing arms, and they are re- ‘ularly mustered and drilled every month. They have hee elds of corn, wheat and hemp under cultivation, Although most of the settlersare Europeans, th enjoyed excellent health, and are generally di with their new location.
