This number of this publication will contain, among other matters, a full description of the Herald establishment, and the extensive paper factory o| Messrs.

They exhibit ata glance, the extraor- dinary progress made in America in the last ten years in printing and publishing. Single papers in wrappers can be had at the desk. Mails for Europe. The letter bags of the Great Britain will close in this city at two o'clock this afternoon; those of the | Hibernia, which leaves Boston next Monday, at half past 4o’clock, and those of the Marmora at noon on Monday. Apart from the regular Daily and Weekly Heralds, we shall publish twe Extra Editions—one at half one o'clock this afternoon for the Great Britain, and the other at three o’clock for the Hiberma. These editions will contain the latest intelligence from the South—from the seat of war—and perchance of the commencement of actual hostilities between the Mexican and American troops on the Texian bor- ders. All the editions will be ready for mailing—the Extras at two cents each The Herald Establishment, We finish to-day, in our daily paper, an account of the Herald establishment, from the cellar to the | upper regions ; including, also, a beautiful engraving, and description of the great paper factory ot Persse | ®& Brooks, who have supplied us with paper for the | Herald for several years, and io whom we have paid | near $400,000 since we commenced. Our cash pay- ments to these paper makers vary from $700 to $1,000 per week—an amount probably greater than j any establishment in the city, except the Harpers, | who pay at the rate of $80,000 per year for paper. | But, the great feature of the Herald establishment, | ig, the numerous persons and families, who receive | their support from its flourishing condition. employ in this establishment, twelves editors and | company —both’ showing Spa reporters ; trom four to eight distant correspondents; | ther suspicions— kept ship aw thirty printers; from twelve to fourteen men and | Starting in favor of the Great Britain, but the differ- | ties with Mexico are settled.

This monster has now been in port twenty days, and has been the centre of attraction in this city in that time About twenty thousand persons have visited her, and every exertion has been made to exhibit her to the public. All who were willing to pay three shillings have seen and examined her, and the agent and Cuptain Hosken have given asplendid party on board, to the leading merchants of this eity, in order to obtain their opinion of the superiority of the vessel. Yet, with all these efforts, we must say, in truth, that there is a want of confidence in the public mind, and we are fearful that the owners of this monstrous vessel will have to run her at least a | year, und at a great loss, before the travelling por- | tion of the community will feel like taking passage | in her, in preference to the Great Wesiern, or ow packet ships. She is strong, but her great size is against her. The Hibernia, which leaves Boston on Monday, will probably carry out many more passengers than will go in the Great Britain, although the latter leaves New York; and it is fair to suppose that she will | reach Liverpool as soon, if not sooner, than the | monster. There will be two days difference in ence in the time of the passage from Liverpool, was three days in favor of the Hibernia. Therefore, the mails to leave in the Hibernia will probably be larger than those of tae monster steamer. We state these probabilities and suppositions, in order to approximate as near to the nuthin such matters as possib.e. It is a mistaken idea to build large steam ships with which to navigate the ocean; the public will invariably keep shy of them, let them be built never so strongly. The Great Britain is a magnificent packet—nay, she is a stupendous one She is as strong as iron und money could make her; yet the public have their doubts. Time, of course, will remove them, if no mishap occurs. Tue Suspicious VeEssELs on ovr Coast.—The | ca.

Panx Tueatne.—Last evening the Park was crowded to excess, being fuller than it has been before since the opening. It was the occasion of Mr- Hackett’s benefit. and three of his original pieces were presented—Rip ‘Van Winkle—Monsieur Mallet—and The Kentuckian, in all of which Mr. Hackett appeared. Rip Van Winkle is ‘one of Mr. Hackett’s best characters, and the drama is one of most intense interest. Mr. Hackett’s personation ofthe old Dutchman, was a very superior performance, and was highly applauded by the audience. After a Pas De Savoyard by the Misses Vallee, the curtain rose for the serio-comic sketch of Mons. Mallet,which is another of Mr. Hackett’s best performances. ‘At the close of Mons. Mallet, Mr. Hackett being loud- ly called for, appeared amid enthusiastic cheers and spoke as follows :— “It is asource of no ordinary gratification to me, when Ireflect that though | have been a candidate for your fa- vor for some 18 years, on no occasion like the present has my appeal been disregarded by the audience of my own native city of New York.

The accounts brought by a vessel, aud published on yesterday in some of our cotem- poraries, are not so late as those brought by the Water Witch; but they are equally warlike, and equally indicative of the internuption of all peaceful relations with both countries. From every indication we are inclined to believe that the Government at Washington apprehend a war.

AeRIcULTURAL Sociery.—An agricultural State meeting will be held at Utica on the 18th of Septem- ber next. This will be a very interesting and scien- tific assemblage of the farming philosophers of the State. Both man and beast, with some pretty wo- men, will be there for inspection. As agriculture in the “old State,” is beginning to call to its aid the arts and sciences, and to force its way upon public attention, we shall endeavor to send one of our cor- respondents and reporters to the scene of action, and report what they are doing there, and turn atten tion to what is doing in relation to the history of agriculture. The culture even of small potatoes, is better than wasting time in office-seeking and poli- ties, as Governor Seward and his ‘man Friday,” Thurlow Weed, will find out one of these days. Racine on THE Hupson.—Some sharp com- mentaries have been going the rounds of some of the papers, in relation to what they charge upon the commanders of two of the Albany boats—namely, encouraging a continual daily racing upon the river, during the trips to and from Albany, of the Niagara and the Rip Van Winkle, by their com- manders, The impressions that have thus been created abroad, by this apparent daily struggle for precedence on the river—endungering, asis charged, the lives of passengers—is quite erroneous. The Niagara, from her immense size, with her powerful machinery in full play, is much the faster boat of the two in certain water—that is, in deep heavy water. On several occasions, the Rip Van Winkle has left the dock some five minutes after the Niagara; and this course isthe result of sound and excellent tactique on the part of her commander. It is a well ascertained fact, that the power of suction in following in the wake of a vessel thus propelled, is equal to five knots an hour. The Niagara in taking the lead, enables the Rip Van Winkle to keep at a certain distance immediately m the rear, while the current created by the rapid movement through the | water of the Niagara is ia motion. She thus con- tinues enjoying this advantage, until within eight or ten miles of Albany, where the river bevins to grow shallow, and where the Niagara must of necessity | slacken her speed, when the Rip Van Winkle hav- | ing the advantage of her small tize—which adapts her better for the shallow water, with ease shouts ahead, and is enabled thus to outetri ve her more powerful adversary. Thus the whole afar is| “ volved, and speaks loudly for the good tact of its rommander. Both these boats are superb speci- wens of the art, with all its modern improvements InsuNcTION on a JouRNAL.—We the Vice Chancellor has issued an injunction a any farther issue of a theological’ work, published by a Mr. Sparry, priacipally on the ground that there | is another issue of a similar character, published | by a former printer.

The fume of this truly celebrated opera renders criticism—at present, at least— unnecessary ; not that it would be above it; for Auber, although one of the most surprising geniuses of the age, is not a great man in an absolute manner, Whatever may be the reason—pressing and impatient directors, or bad spints—an insipid libretto or an obstinate prima donna—Auber has written several operas, which hardly range above mediocrity, and are of no greatcredit to the entiorot. “ La Muette.”’ Great men, however, always write like great men, or if—through a temporarily flag ging inspiration ~ they happen not to be true to them- selves, they consign their offering the public an ovportunity of seeing “a hero in ad works to oblivion, without nis dressing gown.” “ La Muette,” certainly, isa great, aclassical work, although not entirely free of a certain m nerism paperied Auber, and ove or two common ce melodies, not quite in keeping with the elevated E : ' character of the generality of the music ; orit the gifted composer had not written anything but this opera, it would shi t a‘‘lone star,” as bright as does B which, however, does not imply, th parallel between those two crea- del: noven’s unimportant not the spark that lit the great fire of the Belgian revolution in 1330?

M’lle.

The attendance was equal- ly great, if not greater. From some cause or another the wickets were not pitched until after 11 o'clock; and it was near upon half pastere the play began. It was said that this was principally owing to the absence o; ‘one of the umpires. It was ultimately agreed upon that B,B. Tilt, Esq., of Boston, should act as umpire on be- half of the Canadian players. The playing then begany the St. George’s members going in, Bates receiving the first ball from Groome. A very short time elapsed when quite a different style of playing was observed on the part of those batting—slow and cautious being the order of the day, and not letting a chance escape them.

(From St. Louis Era, Aug. 21.] We understand that a consi table and reliable men are very ready gage in an immediate expedition against Santa Fe, pro- vided they shall be called on to do 80 by the proper au thority ‘There are in this city, and in other places in this State, many respectable citizens who are desirous of leading or participating in such a campaign as officers, | and many others willing to fill the ranks as soldiers. We understand that preliminary informal arrangements have been made to organize a voluntary militia regi- ment at this place, to consist of from 500 to 900 men, and to be raised with a view to march cf in a very,short time, and engage in ign, to submit to strict military disciplin r on the service, soas to leave the frontier in October, and strike a blow at Santa Fe early in December. It {s said that Major Bogy and a considerable number of the officers and privates in the militia regiment are willing to engage in the measure, and that other persons in other companies would also cheerfully join a war regiment to be thus raised, and that intimations have been received from other places in the State of willingness to co-operate in the campaign The regiment would be raised with the understandin; that it is intended for immediate actual hard service, an that no person should join who is not prepared to submit tothe hardships and the rigid discipline of a regular army. It would require bold, hardy, active men, who do not fear fatigue, exposure, or danger. It is supposed that a regiment of such men starting from this place with such additional forces as may be obtained avout Bent’s'fort, and the other mountain establishments, could take Santa Fe. They should be ready to march from our frontier by the middle of October, and in one month they might be in the vicinity of the Mexicans. If Mr. Polk wi I give the proper authority to the proper men,r gardless of mere favoritism,a blow may be struck speedi- Ty that will count well inthe war.

It must be evident that the St. George’ Club are no match for all Canada; not that all the bi players were on here to contest the matter, for the ma- jority of them were playing a match about the same time against the Guelph Club of Canada, Certainly the spirit of the members of the St. George's Club in issu- ing sucha challenge, cannot but be admired; but asa gentleman and an old English oricketer on the ground expressed it, I admire their spirit, but curse their pru- dence.” Police Intelligence, Avc. 29.—The Richmond Rape Case—Mr. George Compton Sleight, arrested, on a charge of having committed a rape upon a married female at Port Rich- mond, was this morning examined in relation to the com- plaint preferred against him, and discharged. ‘The in. | vestigution of the case resulted in the arrest of the com iti istrate, ona false imprisonment, as well a placing the fair complainant, by no means in the most agreeable situation. Pahe, the alleged Pirate—This individual is now labo- ring under aninflammation of the lungs, and unable to sit up. During the warm weather he has been in the ha- Dit of flooding the floor of his cell with Croton water, and taking a cold bath, which made his quarters damp and untit to sleepin. He had also imprudently left off a portion of his underclothing, and thereby contributed greatly to his indisposition. Case of Alfred Kershaw.—Two additional complaints have been preferred by st Alfred Kershaw, whose ar- rest under the Stillwell act, for defrauding his creditors to a considerable amount, was noticed afew days ago.— It will probably be remembered that afew days ago the arrest and commitment of Alfred Kershaw, on acharge of defrauding his creditora was duly announced in the Herald. ‘Two other complaints have subsequently been made against the same—one of which charges him with having, by false pretences, obtained $500 worth of goods fi er H.

His discharge was procured by Assistant Alderman Tappan, after which he went into the Kighth Wsrd, where he created another distur- bance, and was again taken into custoly, and fined $2 Burglary—Last night the premises ‘of Mr. Obaiiah Newcomb, carpenter, in Tompkins street, were brok open and a quantity of workman's tools stolen therefrom. Subsequently twomen named Leander Moss and Saml. Jobuson, were arrested and held to answer to a charge of committing the offence. Counterfeit Money—Complaints were this morning presented against two individuals named McGlinn, father and son, for uttering a counterfeit $3 bank bill, purport: ing to be issued by the Orange County Bank of Chelsea, Vermont—also a counterfeit $1 on the Southern Bank.

Fis ovt op Waren—A Jonatuan at Nipvo’ Jonathan, a downright down-easter, newly imported to New York, having heard agreat deal in his own village about the Acrobats performing at Niblo’s,came to New York a few days ago, fully resolved upon gratifying his curiosity about their surprising feats. Not thinking it ssible that these Sisabesting pertormars could have left the city, without waiting for his arrival, and perha| prompted by a desire of astonishing the natives of nis village with a wonderful narrative of all he had seen in wonderful Gotham, he called at the Garden last Thurs- day night, in company with two bonnie lasses, the pro- ductions also of the green hills ot the Eastern States.— But what was his surprise, when he came to the door, ‘and the bill was handed to him, to see nothing mentioned about those, from the nimbleness of whom he anticipa- ted great entertainment. The bill announced a French erformance, and what puzzled strongly our hero’s rains was the names of the plays, andthe word "Vau- deville” prefixed to each. His “edication” had been ra- ther neglected, so far as French was concerned, id he could not e out what it meant. Our Jonathan asked it of some individuals who stood at the door "to see the ladies pass,” but so badly did he select his inform- ers, that the first one whom he addressed was anew importation from Europe, who was entirely innocent of any acquaintance with the English language; ne, in con- sequence, received for auswera ‘‘Jene vous comprends ” which did not suit him. “Confound the hers,” said the fellow, “with their gibbe ish which no honest christian can comprehend ;” he then turned to the other side, and met this time with an American to whom he repeated his question, and received au answer which although it did not satisfy bim enrrely. gave him, as he thought, a clue to the performance. ‘audeville,” said his informer,“ meaus, | believe, city calf, but 1 ‘uess it is one of those farces the Rav ed to play here some years since.” ‘ The Ravels! oh! know now what it is about,’ Jonathan, 1 heard about them; py see when daddy was in New York the last time he ought some notions ata store down Broadway, and they packed them up ina newspaper in which there was an account of them, not the notions, the Ravels, how they leaped into the lion’s mouth, and played the frog and suc! splendid things. Now, gals, let us go in and see them, it will be rick I tell you. Without waiting any longer the three took their tickets and entered into the garden. We had scen the whole transaction, and expecting lots of fun, followed them. ‘The trio soon reached the piazza and began to look out for seats ;—it was early yet, and there were many vacant ones, but it was no; what my wanted ; they espied two gentlemen sitting rext to each other; the Yankee immediately took the lalies to that place, and although the very next bench had room enough left for the whole party, the ladies stood up, right by the gentlemen,; and Jonathan, in true Yankee style, asked the seats for them, ‘This, however, does not de- serve to be mentioned, for such species of intrusion is done daily and every where in this country by females, who make it a custom to arrive late at public places, in order to have achance of disturbing the cempany their displacements. After they had been seated for about half an hour, the performance began with thi orchestra playing the overture to‘ La Dame Blanche, which, as Jonathan said, was a good tune, but he “ pre- ferred ‘Yankee Doodle,’ and ‘1 am Jonathan Pop,’ to all the French music in creation” La Chanoinesse came atterwards, but did not answer the expectations of our hero, who wondered all the time when they were going to produce tha t“city culf” that was announced in the bil, as he thought his dad had on his farm acalfthat would beat slick any city calf that could be produced. Ke how- ever remained patient, thinking that he would have the whole fun at the end, contenting himself with saying that the “tche-noy-ness,” was the meanest thing he ever saw. Our French readers will excuse him, for Jonathas could not appreciate the play,, and felt moreover quite disap- pointed, Although ready to burst out with laughter at the singular notions of ourcountry friends, we could not help pitying him all the time for the sad mistake ne was laboring under. ‘The singing and dancing quite re- conciled him to his lot, and he said that the “ black eyed gal,” meaning M’me Casini, “who sang that song could beat holler Sully Brown, who used to sing in the choir of his village church, and it only was a pity thatshe did inthe King’s English, that a feller might know he wate singin’ about.” ' He now began to «xpress jist legan.” whats! his opinion that the “genuine fun ha went for the inner man, t'ey proceeded to = Richelieu followed, and with this play Jomtnan’s Wrath revived, he began to feel very uneasy on lis seat. and the girls could hardly make him contain himself. The audience roared with laughter at the incidents of the play, he alone was perfectly sober, and felt quite dis- tressed ; for not understanding the language, he could not forheaven and earth perceive the witticisms with which this play abounds, and imagined himself to be the cause of the uproar. He cast a scowlding frownaround him, to see whom he could select for taking a pugilistic satisfaetion for this great show of bad breeding ; but all were so intensely engaged with the pertormame, that he could not perceive any indication that might aflurd him sufficient reason for kicking uparow. Notseeiag any one on whom he could settle fur obtaining revenge, and thd audience continuing to laugh ali tne while, he began to fidget about in great style.“ Guess” said he, “Twill ex for my money, these fellows have been comin’ it strong over me—! shan’t put up with that noasense, no how—I say Mister you'll have to fork over thecash. or [ be darned, if tharwon't bearow.” The girli trie! to pacify him, but nothing would do. “ Wharfore they don’t gin’ us that calf they talk of, in that hens bill,” snidhe. “| wont be gammoned that way.

The play was over, and in the general rush towards the door, we parted company with the trio, and know not what be- came of them afterwards, Curious Surexscuiprioy.—The following isa literal copy of the odiress on a letter that yesterday passed through the Post Office, in this city “To his Reverence of Father Pat Beynon, the County of rescommon in the Parrish of Creva Alphin Post office Thope Mis Craifort will be so kind as to let tie Wid- dow cain know that this letter is for Patt MeGhie and the next Letter send at Candlemass to the Gentleman that he knows he to send me an answer to this letter.” Coronen’s Orrick, Aug. 29—Deuth from Intemperance.
