Aug. 25th, 1845. Health of the Town—Affairs of State—Interesting Political Movements, §c. §c. For the past few weeks the heat has been here | ing to 108 deg. (Far’t) and in the sun as high as 144. Think of that, ye salamanders, and say whether you could live in sucha latitude? Yet not- withstanding this elevation of our pyrometers, the season, though much advanced, has been entirely healthy ; not a fatal case of disease in the city or vicinity, and but few cases of any kind whatever. This is something unusual in this fact, and the cre- dulity of persons at a distance will no doubt be se verely tested, when this report is brought into co 1 hsion with the former insalubrity and mortahty which has afllicted this beautiful city. One promi- nent cause for this improvement in the health of the place is found in the great change in the habits and morals of her people. A few years since Tullahas- see was the scene of everything repulsive to law. ood order, decency, virtue and morality, but now, how great the change! Its inhabitants are save from the sins and evils which hitherto polluted them—and there is no city in America where more ‘ood order and decency prevail—and no people that have more respect for, and are more obedient to the laws of their city and State than are this pop- ulation. ; En passant, speaking of State, brings me to the fact that Florida has emerged from her territorial vassalage, and is now in the full flood tide of sue- cessful State government. She has adopted her constitution, elected her officers, organised herself, and has taken ber position amongst the other States of this great confederacy. In the election of her officers, she has been both fortunate and unfortu- nate, and although this operation may seem para- doxical, it is nevertheless true. Fortunate in the election of her Governor, who is a_ patriot, a states- man and philosopher—Wm. D. Mosely, a gentle- man ot the old school of the democratic party, @ coilege mate of James K. Polk, urbane, honest and gentlemanly, full of candor, without a speck of so- phistry, a friend to the people and the constitution ; | 15 a North Carolinian, and stood high in the af- fections of the people of that good old State before his emigration here. He has now received his re- ward. Let him go on, his destiny is written—‘sic iter ad ostra.” In the election of her other officers (I mean State officers), she has honored a parcel of neophytes,men without fame, experience or reading, of pier we are unable to say anything, either pro or contra, as we know nothing of them—negative characters. I would give their names, but we presume this would be uninteresting to the public, as they are entirel unknown beyond the confines of Florida. I spea! of those who are State officers. The judicial offi- cersare men of high character, and are good ap- pointments; but in the appointments generally made by the last Legislature, more regard was paid to po- litical considerations thanactual merit—an unfortu- nate thing for a young State in her swaddling pe but we hope for better things as she becomes older. Florida, by her admission, becomes entitled to two Senators. She has elected two persons to that trust, of whom I will give you a small history.— First is David Levy, our late delegate, and our re- cently elected member’ of Congress, but who re- goed when he ascertained (although he had only passed his election to the House of Representatives of the United States one month,) that a better school for Ins eminence was within his reach, videlicit the Senate of the United States. Mr. Levy is an industrious, fauhful, indefatigable public servant, who would have made a aoe! Representative. Ot the other Senator, James D. Wescott, Jr., what shall we say? An old hunker, a man of good talents, a good eriminal lawver. It seems that the Legislature elected this person to the Senate of the United States, as a recompense for his active exer- tions in the State elections. We see from the Floridian of to-day, that the guilletine has been at work in our neighboring vil- lage of St. Marks, and that the place of the gentle- manly Collector, Wm. H. Were, Esq., has been supplied by Nathaniel W. Walker. he resignation of David Levy has created anew election for member of Congress. There are two Richmonds in the field—both of them the first blood of Virginia. Ed. Coningtoa Cabell, is the whig candidate, a young man of merit and talent, and Wm. H. Brockenbrough the standard bearer of the locofocos. The contest will be a warm one. The State is probably democratic, but such unfair- ness was used towards the rest of the democratic party in the caucus which nominated Brocken- brough, that Cabell’s prospect is much the best for election ; and taking into consideration the fact that Brockenbrough is a member of that cabal, the bastard Albany Regency, for which the democratic party have not the r wonted attachment. Harrrorp, Sept. 2, 1845. Hill and Nash— Misses Bramson—Goldsmith—Brad- bury—Accident to Hon. Isaac Toucey and Lady. We have the past few weeks been overrun and surfeited with shows, concerts, &c. &c. Messrs. Hill and Nash, of your city, have the past week given two concerts in this city to delighted audi- ences; as also in several other towns in this State, the past few weeks. The Misses Bramson, this evening and to-morrow evening, are to show us what Misses seven and ten years of age can do. Goldsmith the celebrated penman, from the “ Em- pire City,” is here “kicking up considerable of a duet,” and cutting flourishes with his pen, and filling his pockets with three dollar bank rags, from pupils of his large school. _ Mr. Bradbury, of your city, last evening gave a, concert, with some 400 Sabbath school children whom he has been teaching here a few weeks past. ‘The Hon. Isaac Toucey, and his lady, came ver near being killed, yesterday, in Bolton, a town 12 miles east of this city. It happened in this wise :— In attempting to turn around his carriage, in which were himself and lady, the carriage upset, and the Mr. T. in-a most paeerng horses run, mangling manner; insomuch that, from accounts receive this morning in this city, the reault between life and death, in his case, is doubttul. His wife escaped with only slight bruises. The best of medical at- tendance was, of course, immmediately called. Mr. Toucey has twice represented this district in Con- gress, and was last year the democratic candidate for Governor, and is, beyond dispute, the ablest lawyer in the democratic ranks, in this State. ‘The story that I have lately seen in different pa- pers that teemed poetess, was very sick, was greatly over- stated. As none of our city presses have put the matter right, the Herald must do it. Mrs. 8. was confined to her house ony two or three days with a common summer complaint, such as all other per- sons in this section ef country have during the fruit season, and which is here always termed only the summer complaint. Is it not strange that no person ot any note can have a toothache, a toe- ache, or any other ache, without its being heralded from one end of our country to the other as “lying at the point of death,” &c., whilst many a poor female is robbed of her virtue and then mur- dered, boxed up and sent to the dissectionists, with- out any effort toferret out the murderers.

NEW YORK, THURSDAY MOR Bioomriziy, N. J., Aug. 19th, 1845. Quiet Village—Beautiful Girls and Old Maids— Grand Hoax—Jack o? Lanthern—New Yorkers at a Discount. Tam at present rusticating for a few days in this | lonely but interesting village, and presuming you have never had a correspondent here, I must give you some little description of the place. It is loca- ted about five miles from Newark, and lies chiefly upon two roads,one, the Dover turnpike, trom New- ark, and the other Patterson road, which branches | off from the turnpike just at the commencement of the village. The principal part lies upon the Patter ing which is a large and beautiful “green” or com- | mon, extending nearly the whole length | of the village, which is surrounded by posts, (and | chains by and by) interspersed with beautiful fruit | and shade trees, which are planted a certain dis- tance apart; and completely encircling the whole | spot. Oneither side are the dwellings of the princi- pal citizens, chiefly built in a neat manner, some of which are after the style of the modern finish of our own city. On one side is a large brick edifice, which is occupied as a Classical and English School for young men; and nearly opposite is an ex- tensive female seminary—at this school there are many very beautiful young ladies, some of whom are from New York. These two academies com- bined together, contribute to make the place very lively and happy. Lf youshould ever visit this piace, do sv by ull means on Sunday, when you will bave the opportunity of seeing all the place contains.— When the bell is tolling for church, many prim old maids may be seen wending their way towards the church, followed with not a few “luckless wits,” stalking in their best, with one eye on the othersex, and the other on the church door as a mater of course; and carriage after carriage rolls along, bear- es toward their Creator for his mercy and beniti- cesce; and lastly, though not least, you see a whole regiment of young and beautilal girls, walki and two, with their principal at their head, for by | this time you would have tound outithat theywere the pupils of the female seminary; while nearly behind them, are coming the “Academy Boys” in the same manner. On the whole, there is something in the Sabbath here, that delights the eye and is deeply in- | teresting to the mind. Though almost strictly puritanical and methodis- tical in their thoughts and aetions, yet these villa- ers are often the subject of a merry joke or giddy rolic. One of the rarest of these nerehed not more than three days ago. Upon looking out of my window in the morning, | saw quite a crowd of the | inhabitants gazing very attentively upon something which seemed very interesting, posted upon the “pole of liberty” near the dwelling where I was re- siding. Curiosity impelled me to hasten out, and as [ drew near, to my surprise, horror was depected on every countenance. Some were lifting their ands to heaven, others crying out, ‘save us! save us.” What can it be, thought I, as I was trying in vain to get a view of the ‘‘monstrons thing.” It can’t be warwith Mexico, thought 1; no, that sure- ly cannot strike such horror to these quiet villagers “Heaven save us,” cried I, with the rest, thinking it must be something new from Miller By this time I got near enough to read the following NOTICE. To the inhabitants of Bloomfield and its vicinity:—An amateur company of ladies and gentlemen from New York, have consented, by the advice ofnumerous friends, to give a theatrical representation for one hight only in this village. he members of this company have been informed that the people of this place are desirous of a theatre, and that they have had hitherto to blush for the want of an institution of this kind, have now an oppor- tunity, patronising the humble endeavors of ese of Thespis, to establish a permanent “Temple uses” in the flourishing village of Bloomfield, — it upon its benefits, as it is universall admitted that the stage is highly beneficial to the morals and refinement of the community of which it holds a part. And more particularly the young are led by its sublime teachings in the paths of religion, virtue and honor. ‘The performances will take place on Monday evening, Aug. 18th, with Bulwer's celebrated play of the LADY OF LYONS. To be followed by the Defence of the Stage before the Roman ‘Tribunal, in character, by a gentleman of the company. The whole to conclude with the farce of COLONEL WILDFIRE, lace ina building near the Accompanied by a song. Performances to take 2 church, to be recognised by colored lights. Doors open at half past six—performances to commence at half past seven. Admittance twenty-five cents—children half price. Nothing was talked of for the next forty-eight hours, but the horrid theatrical company. The old maids wondered what the world was coming to.— ‘The old folks talked of the laws, sherifl, consta- bles, &c. &c.; and the young ladies, God bless aie wondered if the young Thespis was good looking. Thus time passed on till! Monday evening, when after tea I sallied forth to see the sport. There were eight or ten groups of idlers on the Common and many others scattered over the “ green,” and quite a “sprinkling” of our before-mentioned young la- dies in front of their.school house. Suddenly and simultaneously, a red and blue light, though both quite small,were seen about an 8h of a mile off,and a rush was immediately made for it. I ran with the others, and on reaching the spot where the light was seen, it as suddenly disappeared. | concluded from what | observed of it that it was a will-o’-the-wisp, and so it undoubtedly was. So after waiting till about eight o’clock and seeing nothing more, the multitude,thinking they had been most awtully took in, began to drop off one by one till they were all dispersed. I Tae about listening to the most exquisite music I ever heard, emanating trom the Seminary opposite to where I stood, and shortly af- ter I retired into the house and into the arms of Morpheus, and left the good village of Bloomfield as peaceful as it had been betore the ‘* Amateur Thea- trical Company” had threatened to contaminate it with their ‘sublime teachings in the paths of re- igion, virtue and honor.” Fort Hami.ron, Ist September, 1845. The Ball at the Hamilton House. ‘The ball that took place on last Friday evening at the Hamilton House, was really a most beautiful as well as splendid affair. We have been at maay balls and fétes, from that given to La Fayette, at Castle Garden, in 1824, up to the present time, yet we feel bound to say, that in point of gentlemanly and lady, like demeanor, elegance of dancing, elegance of manners and dress, and high respectability of com- pany, we have not seen any thing of the kind, for the number of two hundred persons, that surpassed, in any way, this enchanting affair, got up by the en- terprising and gentlemanly proprietor of the hotel, Mr. Alonzo Reed. The music was good, the danc- ing was good, the supper was good, and the cham- pagne was better, as it sparkled in the gentlemen’s eyes as beauty, innocence and pleasure sparkled in those of the ladies. The ballroom was honored and graced by Doctor E., of the Army, and his three ac- complished daughters. Alderman B. of this city, Mr. M. of Broadway Also#Miss S. of Ro- chester; oh! what pretty eyes! ‘Then. there was D. C. P., Esq., and one of the most fascinating wives on earth. Oh! how she renovated the withered chord of my old heart.—but, “thou shalt not covet, Xe.” She was the belle of the evening, and danced with great modesty and grace, as did ull the ladies present. We had officers of the army, gentlemen ot the bar, and of the medical profession, with highly respectable merchants and others, from the neighbor- hood, among whom were General B. and daughter, of Ani aigton House, Counseller L. 8. E. Esq., and C.D. V Esq » Mr. H. of Washington street, and Mr. C. of Front street, were active and efficient managers. We hope that Mr. Reed will give us one or two such balls before the season ends, and we would re- mind the gentlemen who are not boardere at the house, that as these balls and suppers are free, the champagne, which is of the very first quality, should “suffer some” at the expense of the guests.

Less than a year ago this enterprize was looked upon by many of our shrewd, sound, calculating jay. Hodgkins and Livingston were brought to tho station house on Tuesday evening, and both stated they did not vee t ased. Ithen turned to Hodgkins, an said to hin—"* Now, can you look me in the face and you did not see’ Burtis on Monday To which he replied, “Ou my honor I did not” On Wed- nesday morning, they admitted they were together ‘They first contradicted euch other in gone thing, and another say hoy then acknowledged they were tra Barr suid, le saw on Monday. their statements, one sayin ing another thing.

One of the boys had two small oars, and put them in the shop where I worked ; they left and re turned in half an hour, I have seen the two young men here in court, Hodgkins and Livingston, at the Police of- fice ; I said they <lid not look like the boys who brought the oars, and I could not swear they were the same boys. It was about half past two o’clock when they came with the-oars ; 1 never swore that it wus at 11 o'clock. [A 5 in the employ of the affidavit signed by witness, in which he stated it was at | 11 o'clock when the buys left the oars, was here put in and admitted.]_ I have since reflected on the matter, and have changed my mind as to the time.

Mr. Price.—Now, sir, at the time of this conversation, were there not other charges againrt the prisoners on vhich they were confined ? Ir Patens -l object to this question. I have se- dulously considered this fact all through the trial, and 1 will be able to show, by unexceptionabie testinony, that this conversation had reference to the murder. Mr. Pxice,—Were they not confined at the same time ona charge of burglary ? Question overruled. Wirness, in continuation.—-I often heard them speak in flash language, which I could not understand.

Phese proceedings appear to be regarded by all with complacency and favor: no objection is offered, no fault found.

Wm. Bloodgood of Albany and two of his children, had a very nar- row escape of their lives on Tuesday morning, from the bolting of his horses ina barouche that he was driving. It appears that the horses became alarmed when near the head of State street, by meeting with some companies of militia going “a-training,” and that his first efforts to stop them were frustrated by the breaking of the chains on the bits.
