We left New York last evening for New Brighton, for the purpose of witnessing the old English Comedy of the Rivals,” which was to be performed by a gay party of amateurs, atthe Pavilion, Cards ot invitation had been issued during the week, and a brilliant scene was antici- pated. Private theatricals—when properly conducted With taste and spirit~may become a a source of great | good, and certainly afford an elegant and rational amuse, | 6 6. | ment Our steamer was crowded with beauty and fash- | ion, eli gaiety and mirth. Upon our arrival we found the halls thronged with the élite, curious, and theatrically mad, anxious to secure seats to witness the performance: | At length the doors were opened and the room became | filled with grace, wit and loveliness.

It will be ready for delivery | at the desk at8 o’clock to-morrow morning. The News From England. _ We give in our paper to-day, a full synopsis of the | intelligence received by the steamer Caledonia,from | Liverpoo!. It appears to be interesting and favora- ble, both in a commercial and political point of view. The commercial affiirs of Great Britain are ina | most flourishing condition, according to the best ac- counts. The crops are looking better than previ- | ously; and it is the general opinion that there will | be a fair average. This is one of the most impor- tant facts bearing on the prosperity of England, and perhaps on the relations between that country and this—as in case of a deticiency, it would require a million or so to be expended here to make it good. | Yet when the crops are abundant there, they are | from that circumstance enabled to exp-nd several | millions more of dollars in purchasing cotton; so that a good crop in England may be said, to a cer- tain extent, to cause a transfer from the agricultaral interests of the North, to that of the South. In ad- dition to the favorable accounts of the crops, we perceive the Bank of England has £16,000,000 in its | vaults—a larger sum than that establishment has had | of specie, tor many years before. The manufactu- ring districts, also, are in a flourishing state. All the various interests are very prosperous, in a com- mercial point of view, leading to the belief that when business is prosperous there, we feel the effects of the reaction in this country. In political matters the news is equally favorable. ‘There was a discussion between the Ministry and the Opposition, before the close of the parliamentary session, in which the sentiments of the most distin- guished of buth sides in relation to this country, were of the kindest and most ecnciliatory na- ture, and favorable to a satisfactory termination of the Oregon negotiation. Nota word was said of the annexation of Texas. The governments of both France and England appear to be perfectly willing to let America and Mexico settle the Texas question in their own way; we do not believe, therefore, that Mexico will receive any aid or countenance in realizing her pretensions to any part of American territory. It is true we find in some of the leading tory journals certain rabid and ridiculous articles on annexation, and the institutions and destiny of this country. They seem to regard that measure as the lution of the Union. But if they had a sound know- ledge of the constituent elements of this Republic, they weuld be satisfied that the tendency of its insti- tutions is towards a centralization, not a diffusion of power; and that the desire on the part of Texas to be annexed to this Union, is one of the greatest signs of this tendency. ‘There are many other movements taking place in England of an interesting, alzhough not important character, tothis country. The new reformation in Germany is making a rapid progress, and the mo- tions of QueenVictoria on the borders of the Rhine, are furnishing food for the L ondon and Panis jour- nals. Upon the whole the ne :ws is all good—very good. Tur Forsicn News Expr xss.—We are indebted to Adams & Co., Phillips & Co., and Captain Stone of the swift steamer New (3hampion, for the early receipt of the English news yesterday morning.— The enterprise of these gentlemen enabled us to circulate the intelligence ‘shroughont the city at five o'clock. The regular mail, with the news, did not arrive till eleven o’clock , seven hours after the arri- val of Adams and Phillips in the New C.nampion. Curious Fact.—Thie ‘New Orleans pape'rs of the 27th ult., received to-day, contains the news brought by the Hibernia. ‘Chv.s, as the news of one steam- er reaches the extrerje south, that of another ar- rives here.

The occurence of these accidents has become remarkably frequent of late. Hardly a building is tora down or one erected unless one | or more laborers become a sacrifice to, what we must cail carelessness—carelessness in the laborers themselves, | and carelessness oftentimes in the master workman, who should always be men who know when there is danger, and possess knowledge suflicient to guard against it. Let but a little care be used, and there is no necessity | for these frequent losses of valuable lives. Cononen’s Orrice, September 4.—Crushed to Death— The coroner was calied this morning to hold an inquest | at No. 41 Cross street, on the body of Henry MeLaugalin, | a native of Ireland, aged 32 years, who, while at work upon the building No. 164 Nassau street, yesterday after- noon, was crushed to death by the accidental fall of the walls. Verdict accordingly. Died in a Fit..—The coroner held an inquest last eve- ning at No. 16 Houston street, upon the body of a female named Catharine States, a native of Connecticut, aged 70 years, who, after cating a hearty dinner on Tuesday last, up to which she was in excellent health and spirits, | suddenly expired ina fit of epilepsey.

Another Case.—The coroner heid an inquest also upon the body of an unknown man, about 37 yeurs old, who was found floating in the North River, near the foot of Hubert street. Vordict accordingly. “Another distressing suicide—The Coroner was called this evening to hold an inquest at the house of Mrs. Kimmell, No, 366 Greenwich street, on the body of Mr. Nathaniel Lamson, aged about 65 years, who committed suicide about 2 o'clock this afternoon by shooting him- self with a double barrellel pistol loaded with buckshot. The suicide was committed in the water closet, rear of the house, and the reports were distinctly heard in the house, but without creating any alarm or suspicion how- ever, as to the source from which they proceeded, until about 5 o'clock in the evening, when one of the inmates on going into the yard discovered the body of Mr. Lam- son, on his face, a pistol lying at his left side, his coat, a powder flask, a box of percussion caps, and a quantity of buckshot upon the seat at his right. The pistol, powder flask, and box of percussion caps, as well as the balls, appeared tohave been bought for the prupose of com- mitting the fatal act. Inhis pockets were found numer- ous papers, but none that were likely to throw any light upon the subject. The deceased, for some time pust has been engaged as a land broker or agent.

Although he had but one arm, he desperately resisted the officer who went to arrest him, and also struck a Mr. Kelsey who went to the officer's assistance. The house of Mr. Kimball, Clinton street, was burgla- riously entered on Tuesday night, and robbed of plate toaconsiderable amount. The plate stolen was left in the basement, for the first time, that night.

Mr. Kean’s voice was failer and stronger than we have before heara it. He plays genteel comedy with grace and spirit — His desire for reconciliation to her his jealousy had estranged, and its gradual elevation to the importunity and passion of the lover, was true and telling. We liked also the extreme nature with which he pourtrayed the lover’s vacillation—his threat to go, yet desire to re- feixad often took ti ve, yet seemed loath to depart.” To-night will be presanted “As You Like It.” -Hamlet and Young Boweny ‘Tear England, | went off lst might as successfully as could be expected trom the talent of the artists engaged in the performance | and prove another triumph to be added to those which they had already obtained since the re-opening of this qheatre, Avery unusually attractive bill is offered tc the public for this evening.

We expect to see again the house crammed all over, and diy not in the least fear to be disappointed.

C, Smith, proceeded to hunt up their customers, and soon met with Johnson, and found upon his person $35 in counterfeit bills upon various banks; at the same time, ascertained that his accomplice, Pentold, had been entrusted by a yeung lady with a splendid diamond ring alleged to be worth $1,000, which he had undertaken to convey toa friend of the young lady’s residing in Providence, and for which place he intended to tuke his departure by the evening boat; whereupon officers Whikehart and Smith, after inform: ing some of the 15th ward to keep a sharp look out for the fashionable swindlers, proceeded to watch the boats In the course of afew hours, officers Truex & Martin met with the object of their search at the Franklin House, when he accompanied the officers to the house of Mrs. Randolph, No. 603 Broadway, where he had been boanting, and returned the valuable diamond ring to the young lady from whom he obtained it. He was then taken to the Lower Police, where he was detained to answer for passing counterfeit money.

The schooner Florinda, with coal, &., from New Orleans, had just arrived ; schooner Rosella, Shipman, was preparing for sea, to leave ina few days; steamer Monmouth repairing at St. Joseph’s Island. The wreck of the schooner Swallow, on Aransas bar, had been strip- ped of her masts, sails, rigging, &c., and some of her car- | go saved. A sale was to tuke place on the 22d inst. We arrived at Galveston on the 23d inst , replenished wood and water, and leit at noon on the 24th. The steam- ship John S. McKim was in port, and advertised to leave at3 o'clock that afternoon. The ship Constellation, Capt. Jackson, and the brig Reaper, Captain Breton, were also in port—the former loading for Genoa, to sail in five days. At 6 o’clock on the afternoon of the 24th inst, when about 45 miles east of Galveston, we experienced a very heavy squall of wind and rain from the southeast, accom- panied by vivid flashes of lightning and a constant roar ol thunder, which continued tor the space of fifty minutea. ‘This was followed by a dismal night and a heavy sea ; however, we received no injury. Onthe morning of the 2dth, at 11 o'clock, we passed the S. W.

Allen, acting Secretary of State, tothe Hon. Ashbel Smith, informing him of the rejection by the Senate of the preliminary propositions to negotiate a treaty with Mexico on the basis of the separate independence of the Republic, and telling him, that under such eircumstances it is unnecessary for him any longer to continue to dis- charge the duties of minister to the European Govern- ments. Why, we thought that Ashbel Smith had told the editors ofthe New York Journal of Commerce that the purpose of his very hasty, but very mysterious, visi to England was—not to carry on or keep open d relations, but to close them in a becoming mai though it now appears he was “driving away.” or, in the more polished Houstonic phrase, coquetting with those European Governments until advised by his locum tenens that be might come home, as all future labor to defeat annexation would be but labor in vain.

The afier the election, proceeded to the vacant salute in token of approbation of the selection of officers made by the differeat companies. These proceedings are sufficient to show that a war spirit is engendered here, as well as in Louisiana and other States. The several companies proposing to form this regiment, and to enter upon active service, have been for some time arganized, and have added materially to the number and efficiency of the military force of this city. ‘That they will be ready to answer any call which the Executive inay make upon them, we do not doubt ; | and, once in the field, they will not fail to do their duty to the country, We understand that it is in contemplation to get up other regivents of volunteers, if authority for that pur- pose i given by the President.

Three of them were only wanted as witnesses, and were exa- mined and recognized, The fourth, Morgan Wheeler, is an Ind,an, implicated in almost all the outrages which have disgraced our county for the last year. His excuse for giving himself up was, that he had “ tired of skulk- ing and running.” J understand it is the intention of the authorities to issue distress warrants, and enforce the collection of rentin every part of the county without delay—the result ef which experiment all are now anxi- ously awailing. I predict that those who can pay, will; those who can- not, will make no resistance. All combinations to resist, for the time at least, are broken up; but the state of feel- ing is wretched and brutal as ever; aud nothing but fear of the civil law, fnculcated by strict, severe punishment, can restore our unfortunate county to quiet The res- toration of harmony and good feeling will require years. [From Albany Atlas, Sept. 3] Hupsox, Tuesday evening, Sept. 2—T'he Court of Oyer and Terminer was opened here yesterday, Judge Eiwards presiding. His charge to the Grend Jury was deferred until to-day, and was in every respect able and impressive. It occupied about an hour in its delivery, and ite chief feature was the allusion to the subject of the Anti-Rent urbances. After adverting to the peculiar characteristics of our institution: voluntary submission of our peeple to a governmentand laws of their owncreation,the absence ofa standing army ,&c. &c., he dwelt at some length on the nature of :he leasehold ten- ures in this and the adjoining counties, and the general inconveniences flowing from them. The Judge then passed to the conduct of the violators of the law, and denounced their crimes wlth mueh and deserved erity. He called upon the Grand Jury to be vigi- lant and firm in bringing them to justice- assured the tenants that they must now rely upon the action of a sound public opinion bringing about a voluntary arrangement between them and the land- lords ; that the Constitution of the United States forbids any law to be passed by a State impairing the ob- ligation of contracts; and that no relief could be expected unless the base and guilty were denounc- ed and punished, and the innocent and their cause se- parated from them It is expected that Boughton’s trial. will commence in the morning. Mr. Ambrose L. Jordan is already here to defend. The Attorney General is also here in behalf of the State.

Guatemala has pplied the former with a loan of arms and ammuni- tion, and it is even said that Gen. Cabrera is raising troops toaidthem. The Government of Honduras has issued a proclamation calling on all the male inhabitants over the age of Ds to take up arms for their defence, under penalty of death. We learn by recent letters from the interior, that some disturbances have occurredin Yucatan, and Baealar, and that fears are entertained of serious difficulty before the excitement is allayed. Incen- diarism has shown itself in different parts of the country, and a considerable destruction of property had already occurred. Late payers which we have received make no mention of these circumstances, but when we recollect that the editor and printer of a newspaper is responsible for every agicle pub- lished without permission of Government, this is not to be wondered at.

They esti- mate the nett revenue for the year at $17,492 25 ; and by raising the tax on land, which they suggest, from one- tenth of one per cent to one-fifth of one per cent, thus equalizing it with the specific tax, they estimate that the yearly revenue will be $65,492 52. ‘The idea of annulling the present Constitutio d of forming a Provisional Government until Texas assumes its position as a State of the Union, which was bruited by many, has not been entertained by the Convention ; nor do we hear anything of the formation of the territory into two States, about which some of our northern con temporaries seemed to be so very much troubled. The Galveston News states that the Mexican army at Matamoros is said to be 8,000 strong, and are engaged in fortifying that city. Per contra the Civilian declares that from the best information, the number of troops at Mata. moros does not exceed 1,500—that tbey are badly sup- ported, and not more efficient than Mexican soldiers usu- ally are. The accounts from the Convention are meagre and unsatisfactory. Nothing further had been done relative to the project of attempting to establish a Provisional Government and annulling the present Constitution, p.ior to the completion of the Constitution of the State The plan had been strongly opposed by Messrs. Hender- sou, Van Zandt, and other aling members, and discoun- tenanced by Major Donelson. The following resolutions, introduced by Gov. Run- nels, were adopted by the Convention onthe 29th ult. :~ “ Resolved, that the Committee on the General Pro- visions of the Constitution, be instructed to enquire the expediency and propriety of incorporating in the Constitution, the following provisions : SLAVES. Ist, The Logislature shall have no power to pass laws for the emancipation of slaves, without the consent of their, ow uers,or without paying their owners,previous to such emancipation, a full equivalent for the slaves so emancipated. They shall have no power to prevent im- migrants to this State from bringing with them such per- sons as are deemed slaves by the laws of any one of the United States, so long as any person of the same age and description shall be continued iu slavery by the laws of this State; provided that such person or slave be the donu Jide property of such immigrants; and provided also, that laws may be passed to prohibit the introduction into this S'ute of slaves whe have committed high crimes in other States or Territories. They shall have full power to oblige the owners of slaves to treat them wilh humanity; to provide for them necessary food and clothing; to ab- stain from all cruelties to them; and in case of their ne lect or refusal to comply with the requisitions of such laws, to provide, by law, for the sale of such slave or slaves, for the benefit of the owner or owners. %nd. In the prosecution of slaves for crimes of higher grade than petit larceny, the Legislature shall have no power to deprive them of an impartial trial by a petit jury. 3d. Any person who shall maliciously dismember or deprive a slave of life, shall suffer such punishment as would be inflicted in case the like offence had been com- mitted on a free white person, and on the like proof, ex- cept in case of insurrection of such slave.” ne of the provisions passed by the convention pro- hibits the creation, renewal or extension of any corpo- rate body with banking or dicounting power. Another section prohibits the Legislature from contracting debts above $100,000, except in case of war, or to repel inva- sion or insurrection. ‘The Houston Telegraph of the 21st inst. says that a par- ; t pproached within 16 miles of Castroville, about a fortnight ago.
