LS NEW YORK HERALD. New York, Wednesday, September 3, 1845. ~ Foreign New ‘The Caledonia maintains her reputation; she is © slow and sure.” She is now, however, in her fif- teenth day, and we may, therefore, hourly look for hegnews. » v Wa We have no further accounts to-day from the seat of war in Mexico or Texas, nor from New Orleans, nor Washington, Everything still remains in doubt and enshrouded in mystery. Rumors are thicken- ing of every kind and variety, but nothing tangible appears on the face of them. Some of the latest ac- counts state that the Mexicans have yet made no appearance on the Rio Grande ; others fear General Taylor is in danger. it appears from the best intor- mation derived from various sources, that the war department at Washington has made some grave blunders in fitting out the expedition to Corpus Christi, where General Taylor has fixed his head quarters. It seems from this statement that the ar- tillery companies have been sent there without pro- per cannons ; and that to render these troops of any service in case of an attack fromt he Mexicans this government is compelled to forward cannon fit for service. Strong comments are made on this state- ment against the President; but, we think, with no justice nor diseretion. If the fault has been com- mitted, it must rest with the head of the war depart- ment, Secretary Marey. If there is any truth in the accounts we have re~ ceived from Vera Crnz, the Mexicans must have reached the Rio Grande before this time. If they pass it, We may expeet soon to hear of some action of a very important nature between the two armies. We hear nothing further of privateers, but the anxie- ty of the republic is increasing every day, all being eager to learn what will be the result of all the decla- rations,threats and protestations put forth by Mexico, as well as the preparations made by the United States government to repel attack Disorganization of the Whig Party—Who Killed Cock Robin? One of the most interesting signs of the times in political matters, is to be found in the condition of the whig party, and the events which are now tak- ing place, and which may lead to the utter disor- ganization of its elements. Ever since the election of Mr. Polk’ and the defeat of Mr. Clay, the leading whig journals and politicians have been discussing the interesting question, Who killed Cock Robin Every section of the party seems to attribute this mighty result to some other section. The ecntro- versy is still carried on with a degree “of bitterness betimes, equalling in intensity of the hatred which originally distinguished the feelings of the demo- crats towards the whigs, and vice versa. As a spe- cimen of this curious controversy, as to the killing of “Cock Robin,” and the exhibition of the utmost feelings of the enmity of the whig party, we will give the following extracts from two of the leading whig papers of this State. The first, from the Vew York Express, thus reads:— The Albany Evening Journal, in the course of a de- fence of Gov. Seward’s connection with the Anti-Rent- ors takes occasion to say :— “The Express was a warm and frequent eulogist of Goy. Seward. Inits present condition, it assails him for measures which it formerly vindicated.” Not so. Because, from iriendship to Gov. Seward, and from attachment to the bonds of the common party, that united us, the Express kept silent, it does not follow that it vindicated Gov. Seward’s Anti-Rent policy, his threat- ened veto of the New York Registry Law, and unwil- ling acquiescence in it, or his zeal ds an American for the repeal of the Irish Union with Great Britain. Beyond the social circle, and until Goy. Seward made what the public felt and knew to be Anti-Clay speeches in West- ern New York, we may never have uttered disapproba- tion, but we felta disapprobation of many of his senti- ments, nevertheless. The second is taken from the Albany Evening Journal, as follows: We pass over the incidental rascalities of this article that our dealings with the Express may be direct and brief. ‘The imputation against Governor Seward, of king “ Anti-Clay Speeches in Western false, base and jmaliguant. Gov. Seward, virtually with- drawing himself from pressing professional duties, devot- ed the four months preceding the last Presidential Elec- tion, almost wholly to the cause. His efforts were disin- terested, faithful, zealous and efficient. No man during the campaign sucrificed more, nor were any man’s servi- ces more needed. All Western and Northern New York, from Erie to Essex, will not only bear grateful testimony to the patriotic and effective labors of Gov. Seward, but will rise up aud pronounce the accusation of the Exprely @ gross calumny. hout the united, zealous and persevering efforts of Gov. Seward and his friends, this State would have been lost by twenty, instead of five thousand majority. They did their whole duty, regardless of the secret slandcrs of those by whom they are openly calumniated now. The campaign was planned and directed by others. Gov Seward and his friends fought, and fought faithfully, in the ranks, Ifthe result was inauspicious, the responsi- bility must rest where it belongs. That’ the battle was lost by madness and folly, is too true to be denied. But the misconduct and blunders of others shall not be laid at our door. The loss of this State to Mr. Clay is attri- butable to two distinct and independent causes, one of which is chargeable to his friends in the city of New York, and the other to himself, F In the spring of 1844 the “Native American Party then composed of men from both parties, earried the city of New York. This was claimed with demonstrations of joy, by the Express, dmerican, Courier § Enquirer, and Commercial Advertiser as a Whig triumph ‘The scenes of intolerance, proscription, rioting, &c., which followed, not only stimulated locofoco adopted citizens to greater exertions against us, hut drove thousands of this class, who had been whigs, from our ranks. This miserable crusade cost us more than the 6,000 majority against Mr. Clay in this State. And for this, those who claim exclu- sive devotion to him, are responsible. The patriotic, independent letter of Mr. Clay, from Raleigh, N. C,, against the admission of Texas into the Union, made a perfectly safe issue for us in New York. ‘The Abolition newspapers and the Liberty party leaders, endeavoured to agitate against us, but the great body of the Abolitionists, with a clearer and better view of their duty, were going with the Whigs against Texas and Slavery. In an evil hour, Mr. Clay wrote a letter to Ala- bama, ‘saying that Slavery had nothing to do with the ‘Texas question, and that personally he had no objection to its annexation. That tatal letter sealed his fate, and deprived the country of a Whig President. ‘The moment it was received, the issue and its aspects were changed. Loco Focos and Abolitionists, inspired with confidence, redoubled their efforts. Our Chief, after the respective armies were in the field, had changed front. This lost Us our vantage ground. But no man faltered. Every ba tho’ his flint was drawn and his weapon dulled, fought it out with indomitable and unshrinking courage and devotion. ‘That ill-omened letter, to say nothing of the others equally ill-timed aud gratuitous, cost us more than the 5000 majority which Polk ceived in this State We present these facts reluctantly, and only in vindica- tion of honest, faithful, never-flinching Whigs, whom malice and falsehood seek to hold responsible for a ca- lamity produced by the two causes to which we have been forced to advert.” Here is a sample of the feelings of bitterness and hostilito with which the leading sections of the an- cient and venerable whig party assail each other It will be recollected that this war among former sects and familiar friends broke out between the Courier and Enquirer and the Tribune ; that it has been conducted for several months past by these two journals, until it has reached a point, beyond which advance was imy ticable, without a libe suit to finish the campaign. The war is sustained between the leading whig journal in Albany and an- other in this city; and in the midst of the controversy we are enabled to arrive atthe real sentiments of the whigs on the subject of their lamentable defeat of last year, and advance a Step or two inthe ex- plication of the heretofore controverted and ab- nals at war among themselves—all their leading men at swords points, pulling and hauling in every direction—the absence of every principle of cohesion or union among them, leads to the conclu- sion that the final disorganization of the whig party ismearat hand. One of their leading journals, that pink of philosophers, the Zribune, isengaged in instructing all the lower classes of society in the most ridiculous and dangerous principles,such as So- cialism,Fourierism, Anti-rentism, O’Connellism, and everyother ism but that ofecommon sense. All these ap pear tobe taken by the hand by that journal, and to be elevated into the great movements of the age and the sign of the progress of civilization among the masses, But not content with that, we see the Tyi- bune breaking” ground in a new discussion, and en” deavoring by all sorts of misrepresentation and per- version of facts, to get the working classes of both sexes united against their employers. A most fear- ful coincidence in the movement may be found in the events of 1829, when the working men were first united on similar principles,by that philosopher of the day, Thomas Skidmore, the hem of whose gar- ment, none is worthy to kiss save his successor, Ho- race Greeley. The result of that movement, and the seeds thus sown, may be found in the present disor- qganizing state of society,not only im our large cities, but in the interior of the State, among the steady farming classes. | ‘These are only afew brief views of the present temper and condition of the whig party in this city and throughout the State. ‘Their disorganization | and demoralization seem to be going on with strik- | ingrapidity. Their journals exhibit the most ultra and savage ferocity towards each other. They are car- ried away by all sorts of opinions, and advocate doc- tries adapted solely, it would appear, to sow agita- tion and discontent among the masses of the whig } party, or endeavoring to stimulate religious preju- | shows to pecu! Theatricals. Panx THeatar.—Last night Mr.and Mrs. Kean were again enthusiastically welcomed by an audience os crowded as that of Monday. They sustained the char- tors of Benedick and Beatrice, in“ Much Ado About Ne- thing.” Mrs. Kean has received such general applause in the latter character, as to have made it par excellence her own, and almost placed herself beyond the pale of criticism. We have not seen her io this character for six years past, nor can we say that the lapse of time has dimmed the coloring of the portraiture, or impaired the vigor of personation. Her first “‘ encounter of wit” with Benedick,full of the sportive levity and reckless volubi- lity which, like the flash of the sword, ever heralds an aim at some vulnerable part, was exquisitely modified by thai jealous pride which guarded the passion she hared ‘ow. She particularly excelled in the arbor scen: where, overhearing the commentary upon her charac” ter, she is led to analyze her own heart, and finds it nur tures a passion she has endeavored to avert by pride, levity and indifference. The soliloquy commencing— “ What fire is in mine ears? Can this be true ? nd 1 condemned for pride and scorn so much ?” was given in that repentant and self-reproving tone, not more demanded by the wrong she has done herself in concealment, than the apathy with which she has treat- ed her suitor. The sudden change—the utter abandou- ment of the gay and heartless coquette, for the woman of deep sensibility; and the discovery that her heart was capable of love, amid all that richness and buoyancy of ttle it, were rendered with an nify him for the coldness and sarcasm which, so long, haa been his portion. Mr. Kean, in entering upon genteel comedy, has not only extended his sphere of versatility, but, we, think, r advantage in this newly adopted walk. He has great sprightliness, and seemed to enter into the character con amore. His iron vows of celibacy were recorded with a force which would render them appa- rently incapable of recantation, and his general aversion from the sex, but Pericnieay from his ‘evil genius,” was hit off with admirable lightness and much sincerity. His gradual disentanglement from the misanthropic vows he had imposed on himself, and the dexterous sophistry whereby he seeks to justify their sudden vio- lation, Were given with great effect; ‘and we have sel- diees and narrow hatred against particular classes | of citizens on account of their birth. In fact, the | agitation and demoralization carried on by the whig | journals and leaders of this State, present an aspect | as disagreeable to our moral feelings as that pro- | duced on the bodily senses by the decomposition of | the dead horses which have been killed by the heat of summer, and now float up and down the North River—tilling the air with noxious effluvia, and forcing every rational christian to put his finger to his nose and retain it in that position for hours.— Alas! for the glories of the ancient whig party. Tue Posr Orrice Revenve.—According to the statement published by the government journal at Washington, it would appear that under the new law the revenue of the Post Office Department is falling off from thirty to forty per cent. A great many per- sons fear that this falling off will create a revulsion in the public mind, and lead to a repeal of the law by the next Congress. We hope this will not be the If we take into consideration the services of the Post Office Department, we will be satisfied that they are sutiiciently remunerated, and that it will be able to support itself. It is probable that the amoun; of postage payable by government to the Department will be unequal to the deficiency already indicated by the returns. Under a former system, the govern- ment had ul! its postages paid by the commercial and other interests of the country. But there was good reason it should be so. The postages required by he services of the government ought to be paid to the Department by an appropriation from the genera treasury, thus making the tax more easily distribu. ted throughout the country. On this view of the progress of the new system, there is every reason to believe that it will be suc- cessful, provided it have a fair chance. There are some points indeed, that require an improvement, such as the re-payment of all, postages particularly. | not odorow dom seen more highly-finished by-play than in the sceoe where the bachelor is dying to avow the love, even trembling on bis lip, yet is partially restrained by the ridicule to which vacallation frat ae him, as well as the fear of Beatrice’s pride and petulance. We have seldom seen a comecy better cast, or more ably filled. If, in his own language, “comparisons be we would particularize Mr. Bass, whose Dogberry was ax good a picture of oficial consequence and vapouring inanity, “as any in Messina” ‘To-night, Mr. and Mrs, ean appear in ‘The Stranger.” Bowery Tueatne. very large audience filled again last night, this splendid theatre, to witness the second representation of Julius Cesar and Robin Hood, and no performance ,ever drew, perhaps, from any audience, more enthusi ic applause than these two plays did las, evening. Pizarro and the Jewess, two dramas of very great interest, will be acted this evening, to the delight of all who feel interested in dramatic performances ‘Those who have not seen these plays should call at the Bowery, where they will be produced with great accu, racy, by artists who have hitherto exhibited great talent, and who will not fail to do justice to the public and themselves on this occasion. Castie Garve ‘The weather was last night rather unfavorable to this place of amusement, and the audi, ence was not such asthe performance announced would have drawn had it been more propitious. Notwithstand, ing this drawback, and considering the circumstances, a tolerable number of the fashion were assembled there, and all expressed their satisfaction at the skill displayed by the musicians during the peformance of the different overtures and airs which composed the performance.— The cosmoramas also attracted a great deal of notice and some in particular drew the admiration of many who visited this place for the first time. Another musical en- tertainment will be given to-night. We call the atten- tion of the public to it, as it is well worth their atten- dance. Nisto’s.—The opera of Les Huguenots (decidedly the best yet produced) is to be given again to-night. Calyé and Arnaud were highly successful on Monday—so much 80, as to be called out twice during the evening. The whole piece is excellently well supported. Madame Ca- sini, Messrs. Garry and Bernard aid materially its admi. Ifthis principle were introduced by the next Con- gress into the post office department, it would in a short time be able to dispense with the subsidy now made to its finances. Cash in advance is the principle for such purposes as those contemplated by the post office. Coupled with this reform, some Improvement might be made by reducing the com- pensation to railroads and stage coayhes, and also by discontinuing aconveyal of mails over difficult and out of the way routes. We trust the post oflice department, under the new system, will be fairly tried, and that its results for so far, will be justly and impartially laid before the next Congress, AGITATION AMONG THE WorKING Pgorte.—We understand there is a very considerable agitation among the working people of both sexes throughout the city. This, excitement may be turned to politi- cal uses during the present fall election. It has been, we understand, produced by a series of arti- cles which have appeared in the Fourier organ, re- presenting the working people of all trades and occu- pations, as ground down and oppressed by their em- ployers, and attempting to show that the present state of society is radically wrong, and leading the minds of the working people to contemplate a redis- tribution of property among the whole population in equal portions. In 1829, Tom Skidmore started a similar agitation among those classes, and we are no tsure but philosopher Greeley may have fallen heir to the mantle of Skidmore, tor he shows himself his most apt disciple, and eminently intent on rais ing anew this agitation attempted by his predeces- sor. Cotorep Convention ar Syracuse.—A colored convention was held at Syracuse last week, for the purpose of adopting measures to procure the free- dom of voting at elections for the colored people of this State, onj the same terms as it is enjoyed by the whites. By the present constitution of New York, colored people are allowed to vote only when pos- sessed of a property qualification to the amount of two hundred and fifty dollars annually. The con- vention complains bitterly of the restriction of the right of voting in their case, and have determined to remove it, if possible, through the State conven- tion, now before the people for confirmation. It appears, from what this convention sets forth, that there might be 15,000 colored voters in this State, and that if they are qualified, by a removal of the present restrictions, they would be able to control the destinies of this State in all future elections. Ove Day Laren rrom Havana —By the ship Norma, which sailed un the 22d ultimo, we have papers one day later from Havana. They contain, however, nothing of importance; we notice only that heavy showers had begun to fall on the day of the de parture of that vessel—the first that had fallen in tha’ part of the island tor the two and a half months pre. vious. These showers have, it is said, quite re- stored the hopes of the planters, which had well nigh been destroyed by the long protracted drought. Great hopes were entertained that they would ex- tend to Canasi, Yumuri aud Cumbre—the inhabi- tants of which places suffered considerably from the want of water. struse question, “who killed Cock Robin?” This important inquiry 1s now settled. The reply of ‘Thurlow Weed, our venerable, amiable, pious, phi- losophical and exeellent contemporary at Albany, is most conclusive on that point. The cause he assigns as having produced the defeat of Mr. Clay in the State of New York, and consequently throughout the Union, seems nearer the fact than anything we have yet seen. ‘Thurlow, for the first time, has the best of the argument, and sets forth truly what pro- duced the fearful defeat of the whig party last year, and accomplished the utter destruction of the Ken- tucky “Cock Robin” Yet there is no use in mourn Cock Robin; let them rather physicians, and collective wisdom of ihe party, and ing over the death of Summon the seers, Traven ‘to Evror :.—Thirty-four passengers left Boston in the Hibernia tor Liverpool, on Monday. In the face of this, one of the Boston papers men- tions that the Great Britain sailed on Saturday with only fifty-five passengers—twenty-one more than went in the Hibernia. And these fifty-five are equal toa hundred, for had the public the fullest confi- dence in the monster steamer, she would have car- ried twice the number she did. ‘The fact that New York is the great centre of travellers in this part of the globe, is not to be disguised Other cities must necessarily be tributary to this. Navau.—The United States frigate Brandywine, Capt. Parker, trom China via the Sandwich Islands, arrived at Rio Janeiro on the 20th July, and would see if he cannot be revived, Why should they not endeavor to set him upon his pins again, and another trial of strength with that audacious Mr. Polk, who, springing from obscurity, wielded the | bow, and shot the fatal arrow at the whig favorite «} We are fearful, however, that the wi by their | own difficulties, are going to destruction, and will soon finally disappear from the face of the earth.— All the recent events and present movements which have | sail for the United States on the Ist of September. The sloop-of-war St. Louis, and brig Perry, were also at Rio, and would leave for home about the same time. The U. 8. frigate Raritan, Capt. Gre. gory, were at Montevideo Exewrrion Law.—A very important decision of nd brig Bainbridge, by the last accounts, , rable tout ensemble. The music, though of a profound and sombre character, has much sweet and delectable music —the scenery and dresses are conceived in the best pos” sible taste, and the difficult music of the opera is mastered by the great leader, Prvost, with his usual professiona skill, The saloon will, doubtless, have another crowded assemblage of the fashion and beauty of the city. Vauxnatt Ganven.—The struggles between North and South are not alone confined to the turf. The votaries of ‘Terpsichore, also, are in doubt as to which section of tl country shall bear off the palm; and, in order to settle the matter, there isto be a grand match dance this evening at the above place of entertainment. On the result, which is to be decided by competent judges, depends whether My. Miles or Mr. Price, the rival dancers, are to be entitled to the sum of four hundred dollars, which is the amount of the stakes. Previous to the dance, the Southern Band of Minstrels give one of their unique en- tertainments. The Monstrous Hyoran extraordinary piece of antedeluvian remains is exhibiting daily at the Apollo Rooms, 410 Broadway, and is daily visited by crowds of the curious ; and it certainly is a sight that none should omit witnessing. A skeleton of one hundred and fourteen feet in length, and seven thousand five hun- dred pounds in weight, certainly “takes the shine off” any thing of modern production. It only remains hee a short time, and those who intend visiting it ought not to delay. A New Move amonc rue Natives.—A company of young Thespians, some of which were members of the old “Forrest Dramatic Association,” have taken Vauxhall Theatre, and are having it painted and fitted up ina handsome manner for the purpose of “spout. ing,” or, in other words, playing tragedy, comedy and farce,among themselves, ‘The company ‘now numbers eighteen or twenty members, besides two ladies. From axchool of this nature came Edwin Forrest, J. R. Scott, Kirby, Jamison, Wheatley, young Wallack, and a number of other American actors. They open in about two weeks with the tragedy of the “Wife.” Mr. Temrueron.—This eminent English vocalist, i expected to arrive here on Saturday or Sunday by the Great Western. ‘The fame which has for years attended this gentleman’s performances, has long excited a wish among our musical friends that he would this coun. try, and now that he 1s so near our shores, they are all on the qui vive. Mr. 'T’s voice is aclear, high-toned, per- fect tenore, combining with it an extraordinary falsetto, which he uses with great effect and judgment. Yor the st three years he has visited the principal cities of eat Britain and Ireland, with a success unequalled, re he gave a series of concerts and lectures, inter: spersedwith the melodies of Scotland, and Ireland,which from their great novelty and combining amusement with instruction, became more popular among all classes, than any solo performances ever before attempted. ‘The pecullar qualities of his voice are heard to great advan- tage in the beautiful ballads of Scotland his native land—and Ireland, as well as in the gay, bold, dashing music of some of the English and Italian operas, in which we are told he altogether discards ear singing, but “takes the heart by storm.” He will get aright hearty welcome. Mr Rice, the Pianist of Charlestown, is now fulfilling an engagement at the Maelzel’s Saloon, Boston. The Picture Gallery of the Boston Museum was opened last night for Vaudeville performances _ Miss Julia Drake took a benefit last night as the Wash- ington Theatre, Boston. ‘There appears to he some difficulty between the mana- ‘ers of the Floating Theatre and the Printers of Rondout; New York. The Misses Bramson gave a concert last night, and pe give another this evening at the Union Hall, Hart. ord. Mille Fanny, the only living Orang-Outang in this country, is to be exhibited this week at the Albany Museum The lowa Indians commenced their exhibitions last t! night, at the Rockaway House, Boston. The Orphean Family discoursed sweet music at Gene- va, on Friday night. They intend to go to Rochester shortly. Ratner Nerrixp.—We cut the following from a Philadelph paper of yesterday. It will be seen that the Philadelphians are rather nettled at our superior enterprise We understand that our city ice boat leaves for New York on Thursday next, to undergo repairs in one of the dry docks there. She is receiving tuel, and otherwise Brepasag for her trip. Itis humiliating to the mesha- nics of Philadelphia, that whenever a vessol wants to go into a dry dock, she is obliged to be sent to New York. Cannot stock enough be raised here to build a dry dock ? Arrival ov ‘rae Massacnuserrs. — This new steam ship arrived yesterday from Boston. Her average speed under steam was, we understand, eight miles an hour. She passed the Great Britain.

New Can. —A handsome new car was exhibited yester- day morning opposite the Park. It is one of the line that runs from City Hall to 27th street. Gnoss Ovrnace AND Fatse IMprisonment.—A most. flagrant and inexcusable outrage was committed on Sun- day last, in the State of New Jersey, upon two res; ble residents of Brooklyn, who were on a visit to ton Falls and its neighborhood. It appears that on the Friday night previous, the store of Me: Hend- rickson & Combs, at Trenton Falls, Monmouth Co., ad been burglariously entered, and robbed of wool- n cloths, dry goods, hardware, kc. The inha- bitants of the place were, of course, “all in arms’ for the detection and arrest of the offenders, and ra- ther than be disappointed in making a capture, they very sugaciously determined to take into eustody the two veutlemen above alluded to, viz :—Messrs. Mariott Mc- Kinney and Patrick H. Monaghan, Although these strangers protested that they were transient visitors, ou a pleasure excursion ; and notwithstanding that they offered to satisfy their sapient and inveterate accusers, by all reasonable proofs, of the mistake which the latter had made,* they, and their trunk, were ordered to be searched, and their persons were subjected to the most unjustifiable and unbecoming in- dignities, ‘Vheir valises were broken open ; their bag- guge was rummaged over ; they were escorted, in the Custody of officers and by a rabble body guard, to Eaton ‘Town, (a distance of three miles from the original place of arrest;) and had it not been for the accidental presence of Mr. Bowyer, of the New York Police, (whose shrewd- ness and diserimation in such matters, are well known.) they would inevitably have been consigned to a common ail, as felons. Not before their innocence and respectal Vity' were made completely manifest, were they permitted to depart, and then only under conditional circumstanci of, to them, an insulting and degrading character. Great indignation has been excited by this occurrence, among the relatives and friends of Messrs. Mohaghan and Mc- Kinney—in Brooklyn and elsewhere—and, no doubt, the trespassers upon their liberty, will be called tv an- swer for their lack of judgment, their rashness, and their temerity. Mi BAL Lectures.—We learn that Messrs. Warner, Hill, and Hodges, gentlemen of high professional ability Tae Watcn Derantment.—We re to assert that ‘ity in the United States, with so large a po- palsies oo Bevo n, that has so re and inefficient meag! awatch. ‘To this fact may be chiefly attributed the fre- juent burglaries that have lately been committed, and the almost absolute impunity with which those felons es- cape, whose depredations are n are taste more than twenty watchmen on dut: city of now vast extent, and containing upw: of sixty thousand inhabitants, and even these #re very inade- quately. paid for the labor which they have to undergo, and the long and tiresome beats it is their duty to travel. But the new Police project of Mayor Tallmadge will, carried into effect, make matters still worse, a& he pro- poses a compensation to watchmen, not exceeding two and a half dollars per week, asum which no respectable or honest man would accept for the performance of the often arduous and unpleasant duties connected with this department of the muni: 1 government. There can no doubt a radical change is needed imehe police regula- tions of Brooklyn, but not such chamge as this. Guexpiness For Orrice.—In relation to the vacancies which will shortly occur on the Bench of the Municipal Court, by the expiration of the respective terms of the present incumbents, there are, it is said, not less than thirty persons who have patriotically offered to take upon themselves the heavy responsibilities of the stations now filled by Messrs. Downing, Garrison and Church. Among these commendably disinterested individuals are three or four gentlemen, at present holding lucrative offices under the Common Council, and who, Like Oliver Twist, still “ery for moze.” Manxers ayo Borcuen’s Siors.—Great complaints are made by many residents of Brooklyn, especially those of the sixth ward, that they have no markets hear them to supply their ordinary wants, and that they are com- pallad to purchase their meat atthe shops of butche: who have to pay heavy rents for their premises and e: orbitant sums for their liceeses, and who consequently, in the majority of instances, are under the necessity charging higher than the usual market prices. Itis a still greater objection, that several of the individuals engaged in this business have no practical knowledge of it, and have to depend upon those from whom they buy as to the wholesomeness and quality of their meats, Gammtixa.—We were informed last evening that_a young man, residing in the fourth ward, the son of a highly esteemed citizen of Brooklyn, had attempted to commit suicide by hanging himself, in consequence, it is said, of heavy losses sustained vy him in lottery and faro speculations in New York. fle was discovered by one of the servants in time to save his life. Acciwext.—A youth, residing opposite Mr. John Teas dale’s tavern, in Borum street, near Fulton, was very seriously, if not fatally, injured on Sunday last, by acci- intheir respective departments, will give a course of dectrex aus lessoneth priciare tansioat tencnere lated? c., inOctober next. The defective manner in which the elementary’principles of the musical art have usually been taught, has often led us to wish that something might be done to improve the qualifications of teachers ; and though a mere ten days course of lect is quite inadequate to the purpose, still we are glad to see even one important step taken, and hope that this may be fol- lowed by others, until the object is fully achieved. We find that Messrs. Hodges and Hull are not, as was stated in yesterday's paper, connected with Mr. Hastings in the above course of lectures ; but that their associate in this case is Mr. J. F. Warner, the well known translator of Weber’s Theory, &c., and that while their course of lectures holds no connection whatever with the “Choral Union ;” its only relationship to the American Musical Convention is such merely as arises from its occurring at the same time. Goov.—The man whom the Mayor has stationed in Chatham street, bearing the banner on which is painted in large capitais, “Beware of Mock Auctions*—walks up and down by these establishments with a most deter- mined look. ‘i'woof the Funks have given it up fora bad job, and closed their shops—and probably the others willsoon become tired and follow their example, as bu- siness is particularly dull. Now if our worthy Mayor will pursue the same course with the genteel swindling shops on Broadway, our country cousins will be under eternal obligations to him. Witt Sautretre Exrrope?—This question is now a prominent one in the catechism—but unlike the other questions, there set down, it lacks an answer. “Will salt- petre explode?” We don’t know. A committee was appointed by the Common Council to decide the ques- tion. But after nearly two months, we are as much as ever in the dark. Why do we not have the report? Se- veral pounds of mustard seed, sugar, coflee, and saltpe- tre, were set on fire at Mottville, and a barrel head was blown out, for the purpose of trying the experiment. Will saltpetre explode? What say you, gentlemen? Yes, or no? Wie Sarretre 21 Wall street, has Exrtopre?—Mr. C. F. Durant, of No. t to the Mayora communication in answer to this questioa, a copy of which we have be- fore us. It is rather elaborate, occupying six pag The ground taken by Mr. Durant is, that saltpetre will explode when united with carbonaceous matter, and that it was saltpetre which caused the explosion in Crocker & Warren's store. Mr. Durant does not treat the sub- ject theoretically, but practically. He has had many op- ortunities for testing the explosive power of saltpetre. Ne refers to the blowing up of the ship Harold, in 1839, and says it was similar to the explosion in Crocker & Warren's. ‘In both cases,” he says, ‘the carbonaceous matter ignited the saltpetre, and the inevitable results were explosions, with detonations proportioned to the strength of confinement.” Mr. Durant offers to prove by experiment, at his own expense, the same results with the same matter. He thinks that os lac is a highlyin- flammable substance, that it answers the place of sul- phur, and converted the saltpetre into gunpowder. On the whole, the communication is one of great interest, and displays a great deal of practical knowledge. 11 fact, anything now-a-days is of interest that throws any li i pon this vexed question—“Will saltpetre ex- plode?” Bap Tastx.—Some of the eating houses on Nassau street have every day before their doors two or three huge turtles lying on their backs,and gasping for breath. A label is placed upon them stating the hour at which they will be “ served up” at so much per bowl or steak. if these are placed here for the purpos e of tempting epi- cures to partake of them when cooked’ we should think they would fail to produce that end. Such an exhibition n very bad taste, and we think the gentlemanly pro- prietors of these establishments would advance tneir own interests by discontinuing it. That Pavement.—We don't know of a gre! nuisance than the wood pavement atthe c 1 Nassau streets. A few months since it was newly laid, and now itis ail afloat in mud andwater. A pair of stilts would be quite serviceable iu crossing there, and we would recommend, if this system of paving be ‘con- tinned, that a depot be established at the corner, where these could be procured by pedestrians. Will the au- thorities see that Nassau, above Wall street is paved? and will they see that it is paved with something more durable than pine wood.

Accidental Drowning. — The Coroner held an inquest at No. 312 West street, on the body of a boy named Charles Cooper, aged 5 years, who was taken out of the dock nearly opposite, having, as it is supposed, fallen overboard froin the schooner: commodation, of which vessel the father of the dece: is captam. ict, accidentally drowed.

The jury, in rendering’ thei verdict, that the deceased came to his death by deliriun tremens, took occasion to state, that in their opinion, there should be special provision made at the City Prison for the care of persons brought into said prison in a state of intoxication, or laboring under its eftects. “nother Case of Drowning.—The Cor Iso held an inquest upon the body of Captain Thomas Morris, master of sloop Hercules. ‘lying at the foot of Liberty street, who fell overboard last night about 10 o’clock, and was drowned before assistance could be rendered. He appeared to be about 0 years old, His place of na- tivity could not be ascertained, eAMSHIP Bancor.—We learn from the Boston Courier of yesterday, that the iron steam- er Bangor has been destroyed by fire. Itis stated that she was burnt to the water’s odge. We do not see how that could be, as the B. was built of iron. Castine, Sunday, Aug. 31, 9 o'clock, P. M. At twenty minutes past three, this P.M., the steam propeller Bang hove in sight. At a lock she was noticed to bear away, ssmoke and flames were seen (by the glass) to issue from her.

Cunada— Province ; Line—Curious *Results—North Eastern Boundary—Northern Railroad—Travel- ting on Lake Champlain. The readers of your paper who are 80 constantly greeted with your correspondence from cities and fashionable watering places, may be surprised at a letter from so remote and unknown a place as this. But its proximity to Canada (being bounded on the north by Canada,) give us an opportunity of noticing many things which can be known no where else, and which may be read with interest by those who wish to learn the history of the times. No river or lake, or other natural division, separ- ates, at this place, the inhabitants of the United States from the subjects of her Majesty in Canada. A mere line, like the boundary of a farm, divides the citizens of our great and glorious country from those trom whom fealty is offered to the lords and homage to the sovereigns of England. At a place like this, when the transition from one place to another requires but a moment, we can mark the diflerence of the people of the two countries under almost the same circumstance of soil and climate.— It seems to me that such a view is full of interest to him who wishes to trace the relation between the thrift, enterprise and social condition of a people aud the government under which they have for any ie of time existed. What are some of the dis- tinctive characteristics of our peaple and their con- dition compared with those of Canada? On the one side are wealth, enterprise and general intelli- gence—on the other, poverty, dullness of business, and almost universal ignorance. On one side, peo- ple have, by the constitution, allodial titles to their real estate—on the other, vast seigniories are par- celled out to tenants who hold them by the suage tenuri, Here school houses and district libraries afford education to every man and child—there the want of schools is keeping the masses in intellectual bondage ; here the ingenuity of our people is mani- testing itself in contrivances to lessen labor and to improve the social condition—there the “‘stereo- typed dullness” of the people permits them to plod on with the same implements of agriculture and in the same modes of living that their ancestors have used before them. tained for them an unenviable notoriety, sent to tne Common Council their resignation as watchmen, on Monday evening. Potice Items.—Officer Sweet, of Providence, R. 1, came to Brooklyn yesterday, with a requisition upon the Governor of this State, for the surrender of Mary Gray, the female implicated with her husband, (who has fled) in a constructive larceny, the particulars of which have been published. ‘The accused readily consented to return with the officer to Providence, and thus saved both expense anddelay. ‘The complainant was Mr. John A. Littlefield, of Providence, and the unfortunate “ trea- sure trove,” occurred at the corner of Clifford and Eddy in that city. Warrants were yesterday issued against Thomas Cox, ault and battery upon Mary Rosencrast ; and, against Barney Lynch, for an alleged misdemeanor, on the complaint of Eleazor Smith—all of Brooklyn. é James Kelly, who only arrived in this country on Eas- ter Sunday last, was yesterday morning examined on a charge of attempting to pass a spurious $20 bill of Tenth Ward Bank, in payment for a glass of liquor, at Hat- field’s tavern, in the eighth ward. A spurious $10 bill of Commercial Bank of Columbus, Miss., was also found upon him, He was committed for trial. John Lewis was yesterday morning arrested on a charge of breaking open a trunk, belonging to a young man named Charles Vine, on board the brig Aldrich, (lying at Thompson’s dock,) and stealing therefrom an overcoat, and sundry other articles of clothing. Com- mitted for examination. Police Intelligence.

Stealing from a Washtub.—A female named Caroline McKinney was called to account this morning for in- creasing her stock of linen, &c., from a tub on the premi- ses of No. 141 Grand street. Caroline stands a chance of being provided for at public expense. Pickpocket Caught.—A fellow named George Johnson was arrested last night on a charge of attempting to pick the pocket of John O'Neil.

Robbed in the Street by a Woman.—As a little girl was passing along Stanton street yesterday, with a bandbox containing ive Tuscan bosinets, the ‘property of Mrs. Walter, No. 461 Pearl street, she was accosted by a woman, who seized the box and ran off with it. Attempt to Pass Spurious Bills.—A woman named Maria Mullen was arrested last night, charged with having attempted to pass a spurious bank bill to Kdward Stuettner, of 195 Walker street. Grand Larceny.—Mr. Elbridge G. Eaton, a passenger on board the new steamship Massachusetts, while asleep last night, had his watch, worth about $35, stolen. This afternoon, officer Gilbert F. Hays proceeded to the vessel and arrested a fireman, named Jeremiah Simonson, on uspicion of having stolen the property, and, on search- ing him, the watch was found in his possession. Ho was taken to the Lower Police, and committed to answer for the offence. Theft of a Coat-—A man named James Thornton was arrested this afternoon, charged with stealing a dress cout worth $18, belonging to Myers Leistrentreat, of No. 51 Orange street. ePwith Grand Larceny.—A few months ago, 1% pairs of gold spectacles and a gold eye glass, were stolen from the store of Mr. Wise, No. 457 Broadway, and the thief or thieves eluded the vigilance of the police until this evening, when officers Leonard and Whikehart, two gentlemen attached to the office of the Chief, arrested a man pamed Veter O'Connor, while endeavoring to sell a pair of the stolen spectacles, they being the second pair that he had offered for sale. On‘being arrested, he stated that he obtained them from aman named Thomas Durnin, who keeps a store in Orange strect, The before named oflicers proceeded to arrest Durnin, whom they also took to the Lower Police, where he was detained to an- swer.

Route To OREGON AND rornta.—The Great South Pass in the Rocky Mountains, on the road to Oregon, is in north latitude 429 27, 34, and yn longitude azo 3 west trom Washington, or 109%, 27. 50 west o Greenwich, being directly opposite the dominions of the Tartar princes of Northern Kurope. The climate is not much milder than in the same position in the Eastern Hemisphere. On the 10th of August, at sun rise, Capt. Fremont’s thermometer indi- cated 380 (Fahrenheit ; ) water froze in his camp during the night, and fires were necessary for comfort, the summit of the Great Pass, near which he encamped, be- ing seven thousand feet above the level of the s The ‘scent on either side of the Pass is so. gradual. a tImost imperceptible The route offers great facilities for the construction of « railroad, and the time is not far Jistant when the spices, teas, and silks of Asia and India will come to the Atlantic States by this of this remarkable Pass, Captain Fremont say f no manner resembles the places to which the term is commonly applied—nothing of the gorge-like charac and Winding ascents of the Allegheny passes in America, nothing of the great St. Bernard and Simplon pasees in Europe. Approaching it fromthe mouth of the Swoet Water-a sandy plain one hundred and twentymiles long conducte, by agradual and regular ascent, to the mit, khout seven thouvand feet above tho sea ; traveller, withont being reminded of av some ascents, suddenly finds himself'on the waters which flow to'the Pacific Ocean, 1 agreenbly dis: appointed in the character of the streams on this (west) aide of the ridge. Instead of the creeks, which description had led me to expect, I find bold brond streams, with three or four feet water, with a rapid current. The fork on which we are encamped is upwards of ahundred feet wide, timberod with groves and thickets of the low wil- low.” It appears that the navigable streams flowing into the Atlantic almost join sim, rivers flowing into the Pacific, the portage being less than two hundred miles. Canada was settled by the French, under Cham- plain, about twelve years before the Puritans landed at Plymouth, Its colomzation was carried on by them until the English, under Gen. Wolfe, gained possession in 1763. Since the latter date it has be- fapged to Great Britain. |The valley of the St. Law- rence has a fine soil for agriculture, and Canada West has a climate like our own State. She has ample water power, superior advantages for com- merce throu h the St. Lawrence and the upper lakes, and yet over this whole gounay is spread the blight of poverty, ignorance and social degeneration. And to what is this chargable ? To the influence of tlie Papal religion as is mentioned by some? Maryland was settled by Catholics, under a Catho- lie proprietary. It is said that the French were never successtul colonists; but was not South Car- olina settled by the Huguenots? The fact is, the condition of Canada is not entirely owing to Catho- lie influence, or its French origin, but to the sy term of colonization which checks the enterprize—pros- trates the energy of the people, and makes them slaves. ‘The Commissioners for the Boundary Survey have recently completed the work in this. vicinity. A span of one rod on each side of the line is cleared of timber, and at the distance ofa mile or two, iron monuments are erected. These are about four inches thick, and are exposed to view above the ground, about four feet. They are, I am told, fixed into the end of a cedar shaft, which is deeply placed in the ground. On the south side of the monument are in taised letters ‘Albert Smith, U.S. Comr.” ; on the north, “Lt. L. B. B. Estcowt, H. B. M. Comr. ;” and on the other sides, *“Treaty of Wash- ington,” ‘Boundary, Aug. 9th, 1842.” Such is the line which bounds the “Area of Free- dom” on the north-eastern part of the United States. May the fidelity of our government, and the patriot- ism of the people never let it lie south of 54 degrees 40 min. on the north-west. Since my last, from Plattsburgh, of the 22nd ult., I have seen one of the Commissioners of the North- ern Railroad, who speaks with confidence of the final completion of this work. Nearly two hundred thousand dollars has already been subscribed in the county of St. Lawrence, and about twenty thousand was taken at Plattsburgh, on the first day of open- ing the books. Capital is wanted, however, beyond the means of this country, and the people of Boston are los! to, to take up the greatest portion of the stock, Jwould, in common with a large proportion of the travelling community, bespeak a favorable word for the steamboat “Saltus,” which plies the Lake Champlain, in opposition to the boats of old company, who have, during time immemorial, “bled” the iravelling community with enormously high fare.
