NEW YORK HERALD. New York, Saturday, September 6, 1845. “THE WEEKLY HERALD. with | TWO SPLENDID ILLUSTRATIONS, | Our usual weekly edition will be ready for deli- | very at the desk at eight o’clock this morning. It is an unusually interesting one, and contains the | latest intelligence of the day, comprising the English and Mexican news, the movements of our | troops in Texas, and the difficulties among the Anti | Renters. It is illustrated by two fine cuts, one of the exterior of the new Bowery Theatre, of which | it gives 4 most correct representation, and the other | ot Mr. and Mrs. Charles Kean, as Mr. and Mrs. | Beverly, in the last scene of the tragedy of the | Gamester.

The latest news from the South throws no addi- tional light on the movements of the Mexicans.— | There areno tid ngs of the army under Arista and | Paredes. We are not, however, without intelligence | of interestfrom the seat of war. | It appears by the southern papers and letters from | our correspondents, that the operations of the Ame- | Tican officers and troops are remarkably active and | energetic, and the whole South and West are full of | an enthusiastic desire to enlist for the war in Texas. It willbe seen that a requisition has been made on the Governor of Florida foreight hundred men, who were to hold themselves in readiness to leave for | Texas in the early part of the present month. The Governor of Alabama had also, it is said, been call- ed onto furnish a body of troops, the number to be | one thousand men; and Governor Brown, of Mis- | sissippi, has notified the Secretary of Warthat he | holds himself in readiness to furnish his share of | troops, for service when they may be wanted.— | There was also a rumor afloat that the State of Tex- | as itself has been called on to furnish three thou- | sand men, though for the certitude of thia lat- | ter fact we cannot vouch. Volunteers have already started from Louisiana, and in fact the whole south- ern country breathes the spirit of war so freely, that | General Taylor will shortly, if he is not already, be | in command of an army of eight to ten thousand | men, comprising the best and bravest of our soldiers, citizen and otherwise, and the only inefficient ele- | ment inthe force, is the scarcity of cannon, the | | want of which may lead to serious results. But our | occupation of Texas by sea is as extensive and power. | ful as it isby land. The United States sloop Marion | sailed on Thursday from Boston, itis presumed tor the Gulf, after having been fitted out in the great- est haste ; the United States steamer Colonel Har- | ney also left Baltimore a few days ago with troops | and arms for [exas. These additions to the force | already assembled in the Gulf will swell it to two | hundred and fifty guns, which is probably the largest | American naval force that has ever yet been concen- | trated under one commander. It is quite a mystery to many what object there vn be in sending such a large force to combat a power which, though it has absolutely declared war, still has made no active demonstrations of hostili- ties. Itis probably a mystery to om government | itself. Whether Arista and Paredesare advancing at | the head of an army of ten or fifteén thousand Mex- icans in the direction of the Texan frontier, or whe- ther the daily movements of military in Mexico are | not so many operations carried on with a view wholly to influence their elections, is a ques- | tion yet to be decided. It is necessary to be on the watch, however, to defeat any maneuvering or chi- | canery on their part. They ure alow cunning race, and have to be narrowly watched or they will pick | our pockets. But in any event, whether they choose to begin the war or not, there must be fighting in order to have peace. They have been accustomed to hold the Texans in a species of continual wartare, now threatening, now marching on them, and now | retreating. They will find that the United States are | quite a different affair to deal with, and that what is | to be done will have to be done quickly and to the point. In fact, it 1s altogether probable that in order | to make an end to the matter, and supercede the ne- cessity of retaining such a large force in active ser- | vice, at a great expense, our government will be compelled to force Mexico into soime | tangible position on this subject, and thus by | war or peace, whichever might be the result of the negociation, conclude the affair. In any | case the presence of our troops and navy in the Gulf will be of the utmost service, as were there merely a handful of them present there, the war negociation, or whatever else it may be called, might be dragged | out infinitum ; but when backed as our arguments | are by them, they will prove unanswerable, and be | the means of terminating the whole affair with | promptness and certitude. In this position of affairs, in the abso- lute necessity, perhaps, of the government for- cing a peace out of the Mexicans, the in- terest and anxiety to learn from the seat of war daily become greater and more intense. In order to place the whole matter in a clear view | before the public, we have had a map of Aransas and Corpus Christi Bays, the present locality of our troops, prepared at a great expense. This map is published on the outside, and may be relied uponas | correct. It was sketched on the spot. Spread or Anti-Rentism;—Anti-rent notions | arej ust of the mght kind to find favor | with the masses, and spread among the tille of the soil. Such has proved to be the case in the infected districts, and the late developements in De- laware county have substantiated their prevalence | even beyond the suspicions of those best acquainted | with the subject. One of the mostextraordinary manifestations of these agrarian principles, however, has made its ap- | pearance in Canada. We eay this is extraordinary, | because in no way analogous to what has occurred | in the State of New York. The settlers in the township of Augusta, in Canada West, have met and unanimously resolved ‘never to submit to the | payment of such an unreasonable demand,” as the Tequisition on the occupiers of Clergy Reserves, for | back rent and interest. They invite all occupiers of such lands “‘to resist, by all constitutional means, the payment of back rents and interest on such lands,”and offer their cordial co-operation in the struggle, — ‘What they mean by “constitutional means,” is not easy to determine. Those who know anything of the tenure of land in Canada West, are aware there can be noambiguity nor obscurity about it. By the act of 1791, which the British Parliament paseed, giv. ing an organised Executive and Legislature to the upper and lower provinces, it was ordained that the Governor should have the power to grant lands in free and common soccage—one seventh of all such grants being reserved for the support of the Protestant clergy; and wherever this reserve clause was not inserted, and the seventh portion clearly specified and pointed out, the grant was to be null and void. In the first instance, all lands un- appropriated were the property of the Crown. Since the treaty of Montreal, by which the British obtain- ed possession of the whole of Canada this has ever been questioned,and every acre of land which as since become, by grant or by purchase, the indi- idual property of settlers, has been procured under atitle emanating directly from the Crown, The tenants on the Clergy reserves pay, or ought 10 pay their rents to the Receiver General; they are not necessitated to come into collision with priests or proctors, or any third party, and it is one of the most unaccountable delusions that can be imagined, for them to raise scruples and murmurs in a case so | presume that she will pro | the mercantile service; and that the plan on which | her wheels are constructed, is one that will, ere | sists of a number of wealthy London merchants, who purchased from government over 8,000,000 acres, are blamed for jobbing and evading the terms | understood by government in giving them these lands. Some analogy might be traced between their tenants, should they resist, and thatof our Anti- renters. But the Canada Land Company have noth- ing to do with the case under consideration. They atone time held over 800,000 acres of the “reserves” by purchase; but on account of an altercation which arose between them and the Clergy, they were com- pelled to resign all claim to them, and accept in ex- change a tract of equal size ia the lower province.— A good deal of wrangling has taken place for many years past between the different denominations of “Protestant Clergy,” about these reserves, the Epis- copalians contending that they were intended to support that establishment; the Methodists, Presby- terians, and others, arguing that as they were as good ‘*Protestants” they had a right to a cut of the | loaf; but all this had nothing to do with the question of title, which waa ever regarded to be vested inthe Crown. Nothing, it appears tous, can be more ridiculous than the conduct of these Canadian remonstrants, or anti-renters ; but along with the folly of the thing we cannot overlook the danger. Such experiments will not do in Canada. There will be no disguising, no tarring and feathering, nor shooting of Sheriffs,al- lowed there. Whatever faults may be brought azainst the government of that Province, most cer- tainly vacillation or hesitation is not attributable to its Exeentive. The laws, whether baa or good, are sustained with vigor. It is a serious thing to broach such doctrines under the eye of the British govern- ment, and we hope that the people of Augusta will | not be deluded by the impunity with which similar attempts have been made in this State. Yet good citizens are beginning to recover confi- dence, which really was fast dissipating, in our au- thorities. Late measures have been wise and pro- per, and had they been adopted soon enough must ave been salutary. To do well never is out of sea- son, and therefore the accounts we hear as to the intention of our authorities, are pleasing and encour- aging. Itis said that distress warrants are to be issued, and the collection of rents enforced without delay. We trust this will be the case ; for although it may seem rigorous, and be attended with some cases of hardship, yet in the end it will prove the most lenient and advantageous for the tenants. But if procrastination is still to be the order of the day, we will assuredly have fresh and grievous troubles. The numerical strength of the down renters, their organization, fanaticism, and every thing about | them, declare that if they are not met and put down, the instant they pass the boundaries of the law, they will be encouraged to farther violence. In Columbia county the trials of Big Thunder and his associates were commenced on Monday last. It was thought by many when it happened, that his discharge on bail some time ago was injudicious, as giving encourage- ment to his associates to renew their pranks; and itis certainly suspicious looking that the outrages in Delaware immediately followed his liberation. On the other hand, the long imprisonment had so much injuced the health of the prisoners, that it be- came necessary to give them a temporary relief, and this was thought a sufficient reason for the au- | thorities to act as tney did. Every thing which we observe from day to day goes to show, that the ear- lier and more resolutely our authorities take anti- rentism in hand, sift it to the bottom, and scatter it to the winds, the sooner will there be peace, and confidence established between man and man, where now all is mistrust, malevolence, alarm, and violence. Sreamsure Virainta.—An, experimental trip of this vessel took place on Thursday last, and from the manner in which she acquitted herself, it is but fiai irto long, be universally adopted by sea-going steamers: ‘This vessel has been built under the auspices of Mr. | Allair+, the well-known steam engine builder, and was launched trom the yard of W. H. Brown, of this city. She is constructed in the most substantial manner, and her engine has been furnished from the works of Mr. Allaire. tollows :— Length on upper deck + + 152} feet. OOM. soe * + +4 do 9 do Lower hold Between decks 6} do She is 400 tons burthen, and draws six feet when fight, and nine feet loaded; her upper, or spar deck, is fiush from stem to stern, and she carries four inasts, schooner rigged, and her model is of the tost symmetrical proportions. The peculiarity about this vessel consists in her wheels, the plan of which is the invention and patented right of Mr. E. P. Aldrich, 4 gentleman who has spent some time in bringing his discovery to bear, and who may well be satistied at the result of his experiment yester- day. The engine hasa boiler 6 feet in diameter, and 18 feetlong; the two cylinders are each 24 inches in diameter, and 24 feet stroke ; the wheels are 9 feet 9 inches in diameter, and but 20 inches broad; and this is the first vessel that has ever been titted with them. The buckets are attached to the section of an airtight drum, and have 14 inches drop below the bottom of the vessel, though level with the keel, and the entire wheel is submerged beneath the water, and being let into a species of bunker, the outer edge of the wheel is flush with the side of the vessel; thus, nothing of the wheel is seen while the vessel is afloat, and it is now proved | that the operation of these wheels, in dense water, under the vessel, is sufficiently powerful to make up for their narrowness, and the comparatively smal! head of steam that with them is required to propel the vessel at a rapid rate. The engine of the Virginia carries about forty-five pounds high pres- sure cuts off steam at a quarter stroke, an averages about sixty-five horse power. She yesterday ran with steam only, and in the face of a brisk head wind, from the dry dock to opposite San- dy Hook Lighthouse, in two hours, with perfect ease, and last March she went to Boston with jury masts, and previous to her upper deck being put on, and pertormed the voyage in torty*four hours, ave- raging 9 4 94 knots per hour. These performances speak well. Tne wheels can be disconnected to offer no resistance whatever to the water, though in this instance they are not made on this plan, this | vessel being intended for coasting river Navigation, where they will be continually useful. engine occupies very little room, and is very eco- nomical in tuel. There were a number ot our most respectable merchants and sea captains on board and they all expressed themselves highly pleased with the trip, and we understand that itis in contem- plation to build several ocean steamers on a large seale with this wheel. The Virginia is under the command of Captain Christianson, favorably known in this port, and she is intended to ply between here and Richmond, Virginia, extending oceasionally to other southern ports.

Panx Tueatac.—Last evening was produced Shaks} | Peare’s “As You Like It.” Few playsabound with more | philosophical strictures on human character and life, and few more fully embody the quiet and contemplative spi- rit, regarding, in seclusion, the fever and agitation of the world it has foreverabandoned. It is this very quality of retirement and world-weariness which procure for the character of Jaques more sympathy from the closet student, than the theatrical spectator. It presents fine scope for the judicious reader, but little for the impas- sioned actor. To this class belongs Mr. Kean, as well in- dividually as by inheritance; and in the fiery resolution and impetuous temper of a Richard, the disappointed aspirations and vindictive rage of a Sir Giles, alone can we find a character congenial to his genius. His read- ing is, at all times, that of the scholar; emphatic without pedantry, and studied without coldness; and in him are united the higher endowments of the impulsive actor: with the acquirements of a polished education. From the preceding remarks, it will be seen that but litile bey ond the capabilities of the reader is requisite for the character, T was spoken, we think, not with the abstracted melancholy of the moralizer on human destiny, but rather the gloom and depth of tragic ower. e Mrs. Kean’s Rosalind was aried in tone and spirit as the alterations of the fickle fortunes of her life.

We must not omit to notice the occasional songs, which were performed with a sweetness enhancing ti Arcadian solitude and beauty“of the forest. The hou was crowded in every part, and Mr. and Mrs. Kean, being called for at the close ‘of the play, received the hearty gratulations of the audience. ‘To-night will be repeated (by request) ‘The Game- ster.” Bowery Tueatre.—The performance which drew en- thusiastic applause last night, is to be repeated again this evening.

City Intelligence. Treatment or Drownep Persons.—We have received the following from a correspondent, and consider the suggestions as sensible :— In passing along West street, at the foot of Liberty st on Tuesduy night, I observed about thirty or forty per- sons anxiously exerting themselves to rescue a man from a watery grave, who had only afew minutes before | fallen overboerd. Ihad not been present two minutes | before the body was discovered and brought on shore— It was apparently that of anelderly man. | represented to the individnals present, (who had now increased to as many as fifty) that he should be laid on his back with his head slightly elevated—but before I could finish the sentence, an universal shout of “keep his head down”— rub him good, boys”—and they didrubhim. They were all working men, carters and others, with hand: as hard as horns, and while some were holding him with heels inclined above his head, at an angie of forty- live degrees, four or five others rubbed him with an in- lensity that would madden any thing but a rhinocerus.— Alter despatching a messenger for a Doctor I again in- teriered and entreated them to lay him on his back, and chaie him moderately—but I was answered by them all with the question—'“Are you a Doctor?” and on replying no, they again shouted out “rub away boys—Now boys sub him good.” One of the men roired out ‘turn him on his face boys and drain’the water out of him.” This was immediately put into execution, and brandy poure down his throat, ‘The poor wretch was alive and sensi ble to the trestment he was redcivin times put nis fingers in his mouth,and distorted his coun- tenance a the severity of the treatment. At last a Doc tor came and repeated to them my instructions, and they were immediately attendedto, The body was removed a few miontes afterwards, and 1 heard, what of course was natural enough, that the man died.

Retvay or rue Ixperexvet Tonrkins Buves, FROM Bostox.—The /ndependent Tompkins Blues, Capt Bax- ter, arrived in thix city yesterday morning, by steamboat | Cleopatra. They marched to their quarters, and were dismissed. The Blues left here on Monuay evening, and stopping a few hours in Worcester, arrived in Boston at halt past 12 0’clock. They were received at the cars by the Boston Light Infantry, Captain John ©, Park, who escorted them to the Mayor’s office, in Court st., where they were welcomed by a neat speech from the Mayor, which was replied to by Capt. Baxter. They then went to the Common, where they were received by the Bos- ton Artillery, who fired salutes. From the Common they went to the Boott Mansion, where they sat down to a sumptuous dinner, provided by the Light Infantry. On Wednesday they went to Hingham, and returning, wore received by the Washington Phalanx, Capt. Kurtz, who escorted both Companies to Fanueil Hall, where a sup- provided. After the supper, toasts were given hes made. A little incident occurred, which ‘0 be noticed, as it shows the kind relations which rival Companies may bear to each other, and the power sensible and impartial men have to appreciate the character of rivals. Captain Park, in a speech, after complimenting the Washington Phalanx, closed by ay. ‘illed Company in Boston, would not suffer the best drilled Company in New York (re! ting to the Blues) to visit them, without showing them particular attention. Lieut. French, of the Biues, re- plied, by saying that they did not covet the name of the “best drilled Company in New York"—that it belonged to the Independence Guard, the Company who had vis- ited Boston the week Leagan and that they were hap- py if they could equal them indrill. On Thursday they went to Charlestown, Fresh Pond, and Mount Auburn, drilled on the Common, and left at 4 .’clock, amid low cheers from the people. Exrexsive Roaweny.—Dunning’s Hotel, corner of Washington and Courtlandt streets, was robbed on Thursday night, and $575in bank notes stolen No ar- rest.

New Postace Law.—Residents of Brooklyn, who are in the habit of receiving communications through the post office from New York, complain, not, we think, without much cause, that they are sul to as higha postage as is charged upon letters from Boston, ‘and other equally remote places. It is, no doubt, also felt to by rievauce by persons living in New York, who ave frequent correspondence with their friends and neighbors of King’s county.

Svccrss on No Success.—Amongst the various pro- jects suggested for supplying Brooklyn with a co supply of pure and wholesome water, was a propo to have the said supply furnished from Success lond. itappears, however, from a report made by a selfap- pointed committee of individuals connected with the Brooklyn Institute, that thi eet of water will be en- uirely inadequate fer the purposes named. Poutce Arrains.—-The only thing of importance that occurred at the Police Office yesterday, was the arrest of an individual supposed to be connected with the d erate and daring gang of burglars which has lately i Rested ‘Brooklyn. ‘The individual alluded to is directly im- ch lately took place at the house of Mr, Hudson C. Leavitt, 81 Willow street; butas there are various other charges, which involve persons not yet in custody, it is deemed advisable, for the present, to withhold further particulars, Great credit is due to offi- cers Bird, Felt and Coombs, for their exertions in ferret- ing out the marauders who have so long been the ter’ or of the inhabitants of this city.

Police Intelligence. Serr. 4,.—An Excellent Move—The owners of kand carts, wheel-barrows, &c., have been allowed to monopo- live the use of the sidewalks, until they have assumed a degree of insolence no longer to be tolerated, command- ing every one as they do, who may chance to present the feast obstacle in their way, to “stand aside,” “take care,” ‘get out of the way,” and using other expres- sions of like character; and froquently when their re- quests aro not instantly complied'with, on they push, re- gardless of the consequences to those who may uncon- sciously impede their progress. Under this state of effairs, it is truly gratifying to learn, that our efficient Chief of Police has turned his attention to this subject; and that there is now a prospect of seeing our side-walks freed from such nuisances, so that individuals can move along at their own speed, without foar of having their shins broken or their garments destroyed. Pedestrians, especially the ladies, will doubtless feel under great ob: ligations to the Chiel, for remedying an evil so long com- plained of. Agreeable to instructions received from the Chief, the police have made a beginning in their work of reform ; officer Carpenter having arrested a man named John Lynch, charged with being the first offender caught. Grand Lareeny.—A fellow named Terrence Walters was arsested this forenoon by policeman Watson, of 6th vard, on a charge of having stelen $30 in gold coin from James Harris, last night, at the Five Points. A $10 gold piece was found in the pos: ion of Walters—the bal ance had been expended in articles of clothing. Obtaining Money by False Pretences.—A young man named Gustave Pouette, recently in the employ of C. A. Robert, was this morning charged with having collected and borrowed moneys in the name of his employer, from Mr. Charles Edward Jacot, of No. 119 Fulton street. Conspira ; the Independent Police, No. 48 Centre street, heve with- in the last few days madelsome important arrests, and re- covered a considerable amount of property recently ob- tained from merchants of this ci, under fraudulent pre- tences ; and had it not been for the exertions and shrewd- ness of the before named officers, in connection with the efficient aid rendered by Thomas Warner, Esq. in ferret- ting out the offenders, many other merchants would doubtless have been great sufferers trom their operations, inasmuch as they had chartered a vessel to sail hence to Rio Janeiro on the 8th instant, with the proceeds of their fraudulent transactio: Th cipal complainants against the accused parties are Messrs. Johnson, White and Jones, of Boston, where they have long been doing an extensive business as wholesale dealers in boots and shoes, and being desirous to increase their business op- erations, sometime ago opened a store in this city, No. 80 Pearl street, of which branch establishment Mr. Johnson had charge. From the eftidavits made in this case, it ap- pears thut in the month of June last a person went to the store of Johnson, White & Jones and purchased about one hundred and fifty dollars worth of goods on a credit ty days, referring them to Williain Bartlett, of No. ‘all street, who, on being applied to, spoke of their newcustomer in the mosifiittering terms,and assured the complainant that he might be considered perfectly good for any amount that he should give them his notes ; and at tho same time remarked that he (Bartlett) wou!d glad- ly purchase his paper at a discount of 4 perct. Uponthe strength of the satisfactory representations made by Bartlett, the goods were delivered to this stranger (whose name will be given in the course of a few days) without recourse to any indorsement to his note. At the exp tion of thirty days the customer redeemed his note for one hundred and fifty dollar, and made a second pur- chase amounting to eight hundred dollars, the goods be- ing delivered upon the same terms as the first lot, viz: a note for the amount payable in sixty days. The next customer of this description was Alva Beebe, who, on tho 28th August last called upon Mr. Johnson and referr- ing to Mr. Benton, a person connected with the Alliance Mutual Insurance obtained fifteen hundred and fifty dollars worth of property upon similar terms. ‘These goods were immediately transferred to Bartlett & Page, to be sent to Syracuse in exchange for salt. The next and last customer who had an opportunity of patroniz- ing the establishment of Jonnson & Co., was Henry Col- ter, of No.35 Ann st. This individual by giving similar references, *ucceeded in obtaining turee thousand five hundred dollars worth of boots and shoes, which he said were intended for the St Louis market, but which he otherwise dssposed of; indamuch as he transferred or disposed of twelve huuiired and fifty dollars worth of the property to Bartlett, who caused them to be sold imme- diately at thirty per cent. less than cost, besides allow- ing five percent. commission to the seller. It was also shown that Colter had clartered the bark Trenton, to sail to Rio Janeiro, and tiat he had informed the owners of the vessel that the freight would consist of from one hun- dred to two hundred cases of goods, besides one hun- dred sixty thousand feet of lumber, the latter worth about two thousand threo hundred dollars. Bartlett in his business transactions has Crating ¢ represented him- self to be one of the firm of Sutton & Bartlett, and some- times of the firm of Sutton, Bartlett & More. ‘Two of these modern financiers, viz, William Bartlett and Henry Colter, have been arrested by officers Relyea and Barber and committed for a further hearing. Anotuer person by the name of Porter was also arrested on suspi- cion of being concerned with Bartlett and Colter, but was afterwards honorably discharged by the sitting mag- istrate, it being shown thathe had no acquaintance with the parties implicated in the fraud, and appears to have sustained an unblemished character. Case of Stulbing.—A young man named Ralph Smith, while in the vicinity of Stanton and Essex etreets, last hight, was attacked by a couple of rowdies named Geo. Allison and Oscar Decker in the most cowardly and dis- ful manner, the former having struck him a very te- blow, and the latter draw @ knife and stabbing nin the fleshy part of the loft arm. offenders were subsequently arrested, taken to the Upper Police and committed to answer.

The sales were not very extensive. ‘There has been quite an improvement within the pas, few days in Stonington Railroad stock, The improve, ment is the result of two causes, first, the immense amount of travel on the road, and the second the contem- plated change in the Board of Directors. On Thursday morning about one thousund passengers passed over the Stonington road, on their way from Boston to New York, and nearly as many more on their way from New York to Boston. This extent of travel, even at the reduced price of passage, must give large receipts. The oppo- sition to the Stonington, Norwich, and Long Island Rail- road, from the boats taking the outside route, cannot con. tinne into the winter. The rough weather that prevails in the Sound, perticularly about Point Judith, during the fall and winter months, will induce the largest por- tion of the passengers to take the inside routes, via Sto- nington or Norwich. The present Board of Directors of the Stonington Company represent the bondholders of the concern, and not the stockholders. The stockhold- ors have an interest in the road as important as that of the bondholders, and having the power of choosing thei, own officers, they have determined to use it.

This rate of interest must satisfy every one that the income of the company must, in a ashort time, be large enough to pay the current ox- penses ofthe road, the interest on its debt, and a fair di- vidend to its stockholders. We learn from our files of English papers that a meeting of canal proprietors in Great Britain was in contemplation, to take into considera- tion the policy of turning their works into railways, or to adopt some plan of action to prevent the anticipated competition from the railways about being built, Rail- roads both in this country and in Great Britain, must take precedence of canals, on account of their greater expedition in the transportation of merchandize. ‘The Morris aud Essex Railroad Company, which has been doing a successfal business for the year past, has just resolved to continue the road to Dover, some eight or ten miles north west of Morristown—a place situated in the midat of the iron region of New Jersey The extension will probably be entered upon without un- necessary delay, ‘The value of merchandise exported from this port for the firat eight months of the past three years, has been as annexed.
