NEW YORK HERALD. New York, Sunday, September 7, 1845. CommerciaL Prosprriry—Goop Tres.—If any thing could alter the tune of those who are alway complaining of the times, the present aspect of hu- man affairs ought to be sufficient All accounts from foreign countries, as well as trom the various parts of our own, are most favorable and cheering. Perhaps, within the memory of any person now living, peace and plenty have not had a more ex- tended reign on the earth. For the last half centu- ry, until the recent revival in commercial prosperi- ty, there was no period in which something in the shape of pestilence, famine, or devastating war did not afflict one or other of the great divisions of the old or new world. In the wars ofthe French revolu- tion, and of the Empire, the great peninsular strug- gle, the last American war, the dearth of 1821, the financial revulsion of 1826, the cholera morbus, the riots in the manufacturing districts of England, the three glorious but terrible days of the French and Belgians, the commercial disasters from which we are but now emerging, all thesefand many more misfortunes have been rite in the world, and kept men in constant remembrance of the saying that they are “ born to evil as the sparks fly upwards.” Steam Ship Great Western, This steamer is now in her fifteenth day. brings four days later news. Affairs on the American Continent —The Policy of Ev nd and France. Several of the recent arrivals from Buenos Ayres have placed us in possession of the latest intelli- gence regarding the movements in that quarter, and from the new position that they have assumed it will be observed that they are mostimportant. They highly significant with regard to the aspect in which the affairs of the republics on this side of the Atlantic are viewed by the old European powers. Itseems that the English and French Ministers have demanded the withdrawal of the Argentine troops from the Uruguay Republic, for the purpose of re-establishing the government of Reveira, who, by the overthrow of Oribe in 1838, was made Gover- nor of the republic. At the time of the interference She a of the French and English Ministers, the whole country, with the exception of the city of Montevi- deo, was in possession of the army under Oribe, who was in a fair way, ina short time, to have also | obtained an entry to thet city. The two Mimsters | have also prevented the blockading of the port of Montevideo by the Argentine squadron; and, in or- der to enforce their demands, we find that they | have concentrated, in the river Platte, an English squadron, consisting of eleven vessels, carrying one hundred and ninety-seven guns, and eighteen hun- dred and ten men—and a French one of ten vessels, carrying two hundred and eighty-two guns, and two. thousand four hundred and seventy men, besides a large number of land troops, which, in case of non- compliance witn their wishes, they threaten to land, and with them drive Gen. Oribe from his position before Montevideo. Alarmed by these extraordinary demonstrations, the Argentine Republic called upon the Charge d’Affaires of the United States, and re- quested his interference, or, rather, mediation with the other Foreign Ministers, who, on the score of his not being of equal rank with themselves, de_ clined meeting him, and there is little doubt bu; that they demanded their passports, and that the hostilities which they threatened have been, ere this, actually carried out. The administration of the United States as far | back as the time of Monroe, has declared that the Republics on this side of the water are the fittes; | parties to regulate their own affairs, and that the | European powers were not entitled to any voice in | the management of any disputes or difficulties that | might occur on the Great American Continent, in- eluding both Nerth and South America. Tie recent developements, and the events that are daily trans- piring, however, go to show that they by no means look upon us in this light; on the contrary, any dis- interested observer would suppose that the affairs OF America were under the especial supervision of En land and France. In the Pacific, the Atlantic, the Gulf of Mexico, and in fact wherever there is the slightest pretext, we find English ana French squad- rons bristling with cannon, Ministers roaming | about, towns blockaded, and threats made to carry out the demands of their respective powers. In this | last instance, it appears that the mediation of an Uni- | ted States Charge d’Affaires was refused, on the | ground that he was not of an equal rank in the corps | diplomatigue to those between whom he was to me- | diate. Such an excuse is weak and frivolous in the | extreme, for a Charge at a foreign govern- | ment, in the absence of a superior officer, 1s to | all intents and purposes a full Minister. But the re. fusal to meet him under cover of di ity of rank, shows the true motive, which is to disregard all our | endeavors to check their movements on this con- | tinent. it has been seen that at the close of the last British Parliament, the most amicable tone was assumed | towards this country, and all the subjects that have been on the carpet lately in connection with our Eu- ropean relations were treated in a most conciliatory | manner, but from the various demonstrations that | we see, we should be led greatly to distrust such | smooth spoken words, and look on them merely as | a treacherous calm, that will be soon disturbed in case any of our steps should not happen to be palatable | tothe British court. M. Guizot’s declaration also | that France was perfectly indifferent as to the annex- | ation of Texas, strikes us as being rather hyperboli- cal, and the action of his government does not show much regard for his wish to see the balance of power “sustained among the Republics of America.” The fact is that during the life of Louis Philippe, it is very evicent that England and France will co-ope- | rate in any steps that may be taken by either of | them in American affairs. In the matter of Mexico | and Texas it is highly probable that the mediation of one of them—most likely England—may be called in by Mexico, but it behoves our Government to be exceedingly cautious how they accept such me- diation, the probability being that a decision would be given against us. This concentrating of torces | and uncailed for interference betokens on their part a desire to insinuate themselves in the western he- misphere, and keep themselves always in readiness to take advantage of any weak point that may chance to be exposed to them. England has lately com- menced with Brazil, in reference to the treaty for | the suppression of the slave trade. It will be remem: | bered that by the terms of the treaty a year’s notice | on the part of either side was required before it could be declared null. Such notice has been given on the side of the Brazils, but the English still hesitate about recognizing its nullity, and finally conclude | that their part of the treaty is in full force, and that | all slavers under Brazilian colors will be treated as | pirates. This shows her policy towards Brazil, | whose products being similar to those of her own | colonies, interfere materially with her markets; and another reason probably is, that having assumed the responsibility of putting down the slave trade entire- | ly, she selects Brazil as the best to make an exam- | ish and French races. ‘The present state of the world presents a strong contrast to this view of the past. Every one of the leading nations is exempt from war—an apparent cordiality exists between those which have always been either open foes, or secret enemies or rivals— the bulk of the populace are in possession of an abundance for the supply of their wants, and withal, acquiring a higher elevation in the social scale as well as more political consequence ; and in this feli- citious year, the elements themselves seem to co- alesce with the other causes which have brought about this reign of prosperity. Could we but pro- mise ourselves a continuance of it, the prospect would be animating; but those who have watched the times and seasons, cannot well do this. Over and above the natural proneness to change, which marks the state and relations of mankind, there is atendency in commercial prosperity to engender a reaction—not certainly as a necessary conse- quence, but for all that a constant one, because pru- dence is not exercised enongh in order to evade it. Bad times are the effect of bad management, of rashness and recklessness. Now is the prover season for persons to think of this, and if they do not, excessive competition will inevitably lead to embarrassment and adversity sooner or later. In the iron factories of Pennsylvania, we begin to see these effects. Over-anxiety to catch the world by the speed of foot, has brought down large and wealthy houses. Success is dangerous to all who will not caleulate and adapt their means to the end to be accomplished. We fear this is but the be- ginning, as many are above taking warning in every branch of trade. A day or two ago, one of those journals, which are eternally talking about tariffs and protection, and manufacturing economy, gravely asks, why, if it be true, that the profits of capital in- yested in manufacturing are great, do those who think so not embark 1n the business ? but all need be said in reply, is, that if his readers acted on the suggestion, all would be injured and none served. It isjust such folly as to imagine that capital, with- out other elements, must be profitable to the owner that makes so many mi es be made; and he who would seriously pander to the prevalent errors on this point, must be a knave, or worse, if he knows better. But sve suppose there is, after all, not much nse in counselling-men to move slowly and surely in the pursuit of their darling object—the almighty dol- lar is a most captivating leader. Tue War or Rac there occurred a case, which shows to what a great extent the feeling of rivalry exists between the Brit- A meeting of the medical faculty was held there, at which the profession was represented from all the principal places of both parts of the province, except Kingston and Niagara, the object of the assembly being to adopt measures to elevate the py ofession, to protect its interests, and promote good {feeling among its members. The question being raised whether it was a meeting of delegates, the Faculty of Montreal opposed such a construction, as it would deprive them of a large number of votes. Whereupon Dr. Rousseau (French) proposed an amendment of a resolution offered by Dr. Badgeley (English) to the following effect :—‘ That the delegates of the medical profes- sion from the different districts of the province, here represented, form immediately a convention. for the purpose of deliberating on the interests of the said profession.” This amendment was carried by a majority of one—all the French, voting in the majority—the English on the other. To one ac- | quainted with the degree of estrangement and we may say aversion between the races, this small af- fair is an evidence that neither good sense nor edu- cation is fit to eradicate it altogether. What makes | the thing ludicrous,in addition to its puerility, is the fact that the minority protested and retired in high dudgeon. When so many Doctors disagree it is no | easy matter to decide, but we ere not far astray in our manner of accounting for this terrible split in the camp of the Faculty. Tue Crops 1x Canapa.—Accounts from Canada represent the grain crops as excellent, and the farm- ers as unusually fortunate this season. There is one exception however; potatoes are quite a fail- ure, having been attacked with the same disease as that which has preyed upon this useful root in this country. This loss will be felt by the Canadians a great deal, for they are as much addicted to the use of the potatoe as Falstaff was to sack ; indeed it appears to be a “moral principle ” with the French to consume themjwholesale, and, curious to say, ac- cording to their taste the beau ideal of a potatoe is to be “comme le savon”—like soap. mer is always most favorable in Canada for the graincrops, which, in the lower province, require to be brought to early maturity to escape the early frosts which set in there Fatt Trape.—The weather begins to grow cool, a happy rehet from the roasting times we have had t Montreal some days ago | A warm sum- | ple of, that being not only one of the weakest of the | We may shortly expect the rach of the Fall trade slave-dealing powers, but situated precisely where | When the transient inhabitants of our city will be Englacd wishes her power to be most felt.

In taking all these views into consideration, we see plainly enough that the great struggle between the old régime—the old hunkers of the world—and the “young democracy” is on the eve of breaking out. There is to be a greater revolution in the uf- fairs of nations in the next century, than has yet taken place since Adam was driven from the Gar- den of Eden ANGLo-Aaterican Free Cavrcn.—This place of worship is to be opened to-day at 406 Broadway,’and an affectionate invitation is given to all British emi- grants and English residents to go and partake of the ordinances of religion,without money and with- out price. The terms are certainly favorable and liberal, and on that account more deserving of pa- tronage than because Queen Victoria is to get the | benefit of the prayers offered up, instead of Presi- dent Polk. We cannot help thinking there is too much narrowness and some eflrontery in rej ting the liturgy as used by the Lpiscopal Church of the United States, and importing the more antiquated and Anti-American version used in the Chareh of England, whereof her most Excellent Majesty V toria the first, wife of Prince Albert and mother 0 sundry other young Princes, 18 the head. It might be as well to behead this Anglo American Ohareh, in order to fit it for the western atmosphere ice ed with merchants from the interior.

Tue RatLroap Trovpies on Lone Istanp.—The difficulties between the Long Island Railroad Company and the farmers, do not appear to have approached near a settlement yet. On Tuesday last, « car house, and well house at Riverhead, were burned by the farmers.

Paxk Tuearae.—We should certainly say that the crowds of the most intellectual classes which have floc! ed to “ Old Drury,” within the past week, augur a high and permanent taste forthe drama, which needs but a skilful management to give it full developement. Du- ring the present engagement, so far, many have been unable to obtain seats, while their more successful ri- vals were willing to undergo all the inconvenience of crowd and heat, to enjoy the intellectual impersonations otf Mr.and Mrs. Kean. A wealthy and constantly in- creasing city, like this, embracing every diversity of taste and character, cannot well subsist without a thea- tre conducted like the Park ; and, though public melina- tion may for the time have sought the more secluded re- creations of lecture-room or literary coterie, we sincere- ly hope that the indications of the past week bespeak an admiration for “the legitimate,” and determination to support its talented representatives, irrespectively of ne- tional prejudice. Last night, by reguest, was repeated “ ‘The Game- ster ;” Mr. and Mrs. Kean appeared in the Beverleys, It were but nugatory to recapitulate the beauties to which we alluded in last Monday’s paper ; but cannot forbear noticing,the impressive terror of the death scene. It strikes us as boing the most effective passage of Mr. Kean's actiog, in tre range he has played with. in the past week. The throes of agony, as “the potent poison o'erpowers the spirit,” — strugglin with the gradual rigidity of death—the locked an quivering hand—the attempted prayer recoiling on the erusbed and guilty heart, as @ mockery rather than attestation of nee, were delineations as true to nature as they were evidences of study and ge- nius. Mrs. Kean’s acting in that scene, though almost wholly consisting of pantomime, was even more elo- quent than if accompanied by the richest treasures of the poet’s pen. She was truly the wile, whose grieft'would not be comforted” in her husband’s death-hour, darkened as it was by the afiliction which bowed the heart, and the disgrace which stained the name. | Domestic tragedy, deficient though it be in dramatic | aid and habiliment, yet awakens stronger emotions from our familiarity with its scenes and experience of its vi- citsitudes, than that which is styled the “higher walk ” Duly to appreciate the heroism and sublimity—the artifi- cial sentinent and rhetorical language of the latter, there must be a corresponding standard within ourselve: But the domestic drama reflects ourown hearts, and tl objects they hold dearest, and the more powerfully il- lustrates the relations of virtue or vice, as associated with domestic recollections. Bowery Turarne.—This house was again last night crowded to suffocation—from the pit to the upper tier no | room was leftfor a single individual. As can be readily supposed the performance came off as well as could be, that is tosay, with entire success. Macbeth, and the Carpenter of Rouen are announced for Monday eve ning, and between these two plays the beautiful Drum- mond lights will be exhibited for the benefit of those who have not yet seen them. ‘This makes a very large enter- tainment for one single evening, and it can be readily surmised that the Bowery will keep its standing and pa. tronage as long as the manager continues his untiring exertions to minister to the amusement of the public. Casrix Ganven.—Another concert of sacred music is to take place to-night, at this delightful place. The nu- merous companies which have attended them every Sunday, speak very highly in their favor, and mention them as deserving the patronage of musical amateurs ; they are, moreover, well suited to the day on which they are performed, and their spirit cannot hurt the feel- ings of religious people. As a few hours of such re- laxation cannot fail to prove advantageous to all, we in- vite visitors to call themselves at the garden, where their musical taste will undoubtedly meet with much gratification. Nie10’s.—To-morrow night Madamoiselle Calvé and Madame Ceuriot appear. This will be an absolute French gala night—“ La Fille du Regiment,” and Calvé are too well known to say more than she plays the character.-~ Madame Ceuriot acts four different characters, among them a French drummer.

Cxicker.—This noble, manly, invigorating and soul enlivening game is fast progressing throughout the land —in every city, town and hamlet, are clubs formed to make the admirers adepts in this most beautiful amuse ment. On Tuesday next comes off one of those beautiful games on the ground of the Brooklyn Star Cricket Club, Myrtle Avenue, where tents will be pitched for the ac: commodation of ladies,and other conveniences for spacta- tors. Omnibusses will run throughout the day from Fulton Ferry, for the ground, so that spectators will ave eve , create of witnessing the progress of the game and its result, which cannot but give satist tion. Those who wish to see the game of cricket play- ed in true cricket style, ought to be present. There are | some old veterans from Sheilield, "England, to take part, that will astonish the “Lumber Troop” of this neighbor- hood, unless reports deceive us. City Intelligence. Imposition vron Emiorants.—There are, no doubt, many impositions practised upon emigrants arriving in this port, which never come to light. ‘They are hurried off so quickly by the runners of the different transporta tion lines, that they have no time to complain of their wrongs, and have tlie rascals who inflicted them proper- ly punished. A case has just come to our knowledge which shows the conspiracies which are formed to rob the poor emigrant. On Tuesday evening, a large num- ber of emigrants left quarantine gronnd about half past six o'clock, for the purpose of coming up co the city. Soon after they gotunder way, a numberof runners, in the employ of a forwarding company of this city, got on board the lighter, and by some veiy potent means, persuaded the captain that the winds were very adverse and that it was necessary for him to tack. He accordingly beat about until half past one in the morning.when they arrived in this city—there being a fair wind all the,time while the lighter was beating. ‘Thefrunners attempted to book the emigrants forthe West, but not succeeding, told them that they m them four dollars each for the carmen who should ignorance they did. ‘The fi their luggage. ‘This in their runners probably pocketing three-fourths care of du ehin oir aiterthey reach quearanti are safe in tl ment.

Hvpson, Sept. 5, 1845, Our Court met as usual this morning, but Satire move suddenly than usual, on account of a small fight, got up for the amusement of the spectators, which tl *4 relished exceedingly well, owing to the style in whic! the fight was conducted, and the high standing of the parties interested, namely, Cag oy | General John Van | Buren, and A. L, Jordan, Bsq., the latter receiving the | worst of it. It originated in Jordan’s calling Mr. Van Buren a liar in open court, which Mr. Van Buren re- | | sented by giving a poke with the elbow in return, which Jordan attempted to return, but was de- feated by the excellent sparring of the Attorney General, who would occasionally plant a wiper in Jor- dan’s face until the parties were’ separated. ‘The Judge immediately made out a commitment, and the two gen- tlemen are how residing in our County Jail for twenty~ fe hours. All parties speak well of the excellent of Mr. Van Buren’s boxing, and say he was right in ‘ving it to Jordan as he did. ‘The excitement this Sgtt has occasioned is immense, and I should not be surprised if this Court should end ina general row, for the anti-renters are determined to sus- tain Mr. Jordan, and the other party are more determin- ed to uphold Mr. Van Buren. Which party will succeed time alone will determine—but from hearsay, Big Thun- der must go down the river, if they but jury. But two jurymen, as yet, have they been to’ get—how many they will have by to-morrow I leave the jailor to say. Operations at the Seat of War. {From N. Orleans Bulletin, Aug. 29.) Lt. C. N. Garland, Capt. McCall, and Lt. Longstroet, of the 4th infantry, arrived yesterday morning, and em- barked last evening on board the ship Charlotte, for Cor- pus Christi, to join their regiment. ‘An official paper recently lajd before the Congress of Mexico, presents this stateméht of the force of the | can urmy as it wasin December last — Artillery, 1,840 men ; Infantry, 21,557; Cavalry, 9,539, | making a total of nearly 33,000." "This force is shown by official documents to have been reduced to less than 30,000. : [From Galveston Civilian.| An important document from the land vffice at Austin has been laid before the convention. From it, we learn that the superficial extent of Texas, as comprised with- in the limits defined by statute of the first ‘fexan Con- gress, comprises, in round numbers, 397,000 square miles, 4,166 acres; that the total amount of land issued various boards of land commissioners 3,9 acres; that the total amount of the above recommended as good and lawful claims, is 19, department of war, as bounty and donation claims, 6,300,- ; land scrip sold by the Texian government acres; amount of legal claims to lands issued by Texas, 25,880,998 acres; amount issued, and supposed to be frau- dulent, 24,331,764 acres; issued by the authorities of Mexico, a portion of which is supposed to be invalid, 22,080,000 acres ; and that the total amount of the public domain subject to location,and unsurveyed,is 181,991,403 acres. The officer of the land office, in communicating the above statement, says that ke has no me: knowing the whole.amount of scrip that has been issued by the Texian government, but thinks the amount yet out is about one-eighth of that shown to be in his office, and that the same is the case with reference to bounty lands.” [From the Washington Union, Sept. 4.] Seeing that certain newspapers are commenting upon the fact that Gen. Taylor’s artillery in Texas were “without guns,” we have taken pains to ascertain the following facts : Our artillery regiments aro not armed as field artillery, and were never meant to be, in the in the whole, so armed. They are armed, (the regi- ments, except one company in each,) and always have been, as infantry Serving in the fortifications with heavy guns. They are called artillery in the law, and are meant for garrisons to the sea coast fertifications. We have four regiments of this artillery, or forty companies. If these were all field-artillery, they would require 240 field pieces, guns,and howitzers—field artillery sufticient for an army of 240,000 men, according to the rule which prevails in modern armies. ‘This, though a preposterous force of artillery, if armed as field-artillery, for any army the United States can ever maintain or send into the field, is much too small for complete garrisons of our forts on tho sea- coast and lake frontiers. ‘These forts, when completed, are estimated to mount 6,800 heey, guns. The four regiments of artillery contain, rank and file, as we see from the Army Register, 2163 men—less than one man tothree heavy'cannon. In time of war, this force would be increased; but it is not meant ever to garrison the forts entirely with regulars. ‘The militia would, in great part, be employed for that purpose; and it is cer- tainly the best and most useful employment for that force. We shall, however, have in each garrison, a disciplined, well instructed body of artillerists, for the more dificult duties at the guns, ‘This statement shows the purpose of that part of our army called artillery. Of this, four companies are, by law, cauipped as fieid- artillery, with guns and horses.—Four such companies have been ordered to as.—The other 12 artiller companies sent thither, ‘med and instructed as in- fantry; and of course, are without “guns”—that is “field cannon.” The newspapers which have com- mented upon this matter may now understand it. Whe Cold Spring Murder. Riveanean, Sept. 5, 1945, Third Day —The Verdict of the Jury. This morning at eight o'clock the Court assem bled, and the summing up on the part of the prisoner was commenced by Mr. Gardner, one of his counsel, who was succeeded by Mr. Rose. The latter gentleman did not let a point remain untouched, which, in the slightest degree, bore in favorof the prisoner. He endeavored to explai y the suspicion which attached to the prison- er, rom his olfering to Cobert’s wile the buttons, or nux vomica, and commented at great length upon the beh vior of the prisoner trom the time of his arrest un and during, the present trial. He very ingeniously tried to make it appear that the two balls which were fired were discharged from a single barrelled gun, and not from that of the prisoner, which had two barrels, and that, therefore, the prisoner could not have committed the murder, | On Mr, Rose concluding he was followed by Selab B. | Strong ex-member of Congress and District Aitorney for Suffoik, &c. &e., who, after recapitulating the evidence against the prisoner, entreated of the jury, that if they conscienticusly thought the prisoner guilty, not to hesi tate in finding him so. ‘The Judge delivered avery excellent and lucid charge, reviewing the testimony in a very impartial manner. ‘The Jury then retired under the charge of two officers, and about two hours after their retiring, the ringing of the Court House bell announced that the fate of the pri- soner for weul or woe was decided. On reaching the Court House, we found it crowded to excess, and the prisoner in his box, awaiting with appa- rent calmness the verdict. After the calling of the Jury, the Clerk of the Court rosa, and, according to the form in such cases, spoke as follows :— Jurors look upon the prisoner; prisoner look upon the jurors. Gentlemen of the jury, have you agreed npon your verdict ? Foreman, (solemply)~We have. Do you find the prisoner at the bar guilty or not guilty of the crime charged against him ? Fourmax—“Guilty,” with a recommendation to mercy ‘The Jury were then, at the request of the prisoner's | counsel, polled, and each juror, for himself, answered “Guilty.” The prisoner did not appear to be at all moved by the verdict, but maintained the same stoicism which he ex- hibited on the trial. ‘The prisouer’s counsel moved for a stay of sentence, in order to enable him to prepare a bill of exception upon which to move for a new trial. ‘The reporter desires to return thanks to Mr. Sheriff Brush, Mr. Case, clerk of the court,and to the authorities generally, for their politeness and attention.

Rarip Growrn or tue Weer.—Adrian, Michi- gan, during the last two weeks, has presented a seone of unusual lifeyand activity. We are informed that not less than from fifty to seventy-five new build- ings are in course of erection, and many of them hand. some brick edifices, which will be an oraament to our ale | | ready beautiful village, The furmer is reaping the re. | ward of his y,and the numerous vehicles which blockade our streets loaled with the fruits of his toilings bear testimony to the substantial monner in which he has rewarded. Last Seturday, the corners of Maumee 4 Main streets presented a grand appearance, The streets were literally biocked up with Wwogone, and we ounted from our oftice window not lees than fity-eight | vehicles, many of them laden with wheat and other pro- ducts of the farmer.

A number of the New York firemen were on the | spot, rendering what aid, uader the circumstances, they could. We were unable to learn the extent of the da- mage, or the amount of insurance. More Tempies or Woxsnir.— On Friday last, having occasion to visit the upper part of Brooklyn, in the neighborhood of Wallabout, we discovered that at least three new churches have been erected in the Seventh Ward within a very few months past. In addition to | these five large edifices have been completad, or nearly | 80, within a stone's throw of each other, in the third and | sixth wards, all the latter being structures of e ‘large and costly description. One of them especially the “Church of the Holy Trinity,” is in all respects worthy of admiration, and, when finished, will be al- | most a8 large and splendid a building as the Trinity Church of New York. ‘The present minister of Golesey Church, the Rev. Mr. Lewis, has been selected to o! ficaate there, and it is expected that it will be opened for divine worship about December next. The “Church of the Pilgrims,” belonging to the Congregationalists, is the next inextent, and but for an unfortunate accident, by which the roof became displace: ald, ere this, have been consecrated, In the mean time, the Society hold their meetings in the chapel or vestry, which is situated inthe rear of the main building. It is said that Professor Shepard, of Bangor, has been solicited to take charge of this edifice, but he has not yet intimated whether or not he will accept of the proffered emolu- ment and honor. Immediately contiguous to these, are a new Baptist Church in Pierpont street; the “Church of our Saviour,” belonging to a Unitarian congregation, of | which Mr. Farley ix pastor ; and the beautiful church | which Jy been described in this paper, built for a new Presbyterian Association. Who will deny, alter all these evidences, that Brooklyn well deserves the soubriquet which has been given to it, of being the “city of churches ?” | Nomination Decursep.—Mr. Samuel J. Garretson, of Gravesend, whose nomination for Assembly by the whig convention was announced a day or two since, has declined to become a candidate,—and another individual will have to be selected for the distinguished honor. ‘Warrants were yesterday placed in | the hands of Officer Bird against Mary Mack, for assault and battery on James Cassiday ; and against John A. | Martin, for assaulting and beating his wife Louisa ; John icBride was arrested for being drunk and disorderly, and discharged on payment of costs.

A man named James Crawson was taken into custody on a charge of stealing potatoes from James Lumsden, of Bedford. He denied his guilt, end will be examined to-morrow. Gnanp Lancexy,—A young man named John McCors- key, formerly a driver of one of the stages running to Greenwood Cemetary, was arrested by officer Clayton, onachorge of having robbed Mg. John Bowers, of Fort | Hamilton, of $160 in meney, and @ watch and chain, on Friday night. The prosecutor, it appeared, had, during | his temporary sojourn in Brooklyn, imbibed too deeply of Boston Bitters, or some other equally intoxicating beverage, and whilst in this condition, fell asleep at the house of Mr. Pearsall, No. 8 Fulton street. The accused observed him in this condition, and pretending to be well acquainted with him, induced him to take a walk. Late in the evening, McCorskey was found ata tavern flush of money, and exceedingly profuse in his expenditure o It was this unusual liberality which led to his ar- rest, and it was subsequently discovered that Bowers had been robbed, and left to sleep on a pile of wood near the Fulton Ferry. The prisoner was committed for trial, A Cuve To THR LATE Bunotanins.—The name of the man whose arrest was mentioned yesterday, is Eleazar Smith, He has lately resided in Tallman street, and bas been in the habit of visiting different houses, under the pretence of seeking to repair furniture,—taking advan- tage of his assumed vocation either to steal any thing up- on which he could lay his hands, or to obtain such an in- spection of the premises he entered, as would enable him and his associates toeffect their furtive purposes with | i | | i} eater facility. None of his accomplices have, as yet, Been taken into custody. Police Intelligence. Serr. 6,—Grand Larceny.—An individual, named George Roper, was last evening arrested by ex-ofticer Stokely, on a charge of having some time ago stolen a old watch, chain, and a number of gold rings, from 8, fammond & Co., No. 44 Merchant's Exchange.

The person that served him with the liquor, not having change to give him, he next tendered a bill, purporting to be a due bill of the Corporation of Alexandria, District of Colum- bia, which was also refused. He then presented a $2 bill onthe Bank of Lockport, N.Y. Mr. Bleakley, a clerk in the Police Department, being in the neighborhood, was made acquainted with the circumstances, and caus: ed Kane to be arrested. He was taken into custody by officer Moses, of the 8th Ward, and searched. In addi tion to the $13 of worthless money referred to, two pieces of spurious coin, also two uew black silk hand- kerchiefs, supposed to have been purchased with coun- terfeit money, were found in his possession. nother Cave.— Bill Davis aud Sam Johnson, were also arrested last evening, on a churge of having’ attempted to puss some counterfeit money, to a person named Thomas Melony.

Triumen or Law anp Orper in Harrorp.— You no doubt remember the scene of violence which was witnessed at Bel Air, in last November, ata tempted to be made by a collector for State tax. that time there were many misguided men in t’ pper districts of the county,,who seemed determined to set all law atdefiance. Most of those persons still entertain the same feeling of opposition to the tax laws, and would gladly nullify them il they were able. But it gives us pleasure to inform you that the act passed at the late ses- sion of the Legialalure, in reference to distraining for State taxes, has been carried into operation by the col- lector for the 3d district of Harford, and that the result has shown it to be suificient for the end proposed. Tho cuuse of law and order has triumphed. On Tuesday last, Rhesa Norri liector forthe 3d election district of Harford, advertised the farm of a re- pudiator of that district for sale under a distress for Stato ‘taxes. Having received several anonymous letters, threatening him with vengeance in casé he proceeded | to sell, he thought it pradent to summon the passe comi- (ashe ix wuthorized to do by the act of last ses- ) He accordingly summoned some fifty or sixty | persons, who cheerfully attended the sale. At the ap- | pointed hour, the same band who perpetrated the vio- lence last fall, again collected in Bel-Air, and in nw bers rather more numerous than the collector’s po: | They had made their threats Samat any person who might dare to bid. But nevertheless bidders were found. Being started at $26, the biddings reached at last $100. At this time, it was discovered that a material error had ' been made in the advertisement in reference to the de- scription of the tract, which error mighthave been fatal to the title of a purchaser, It was therefore determined to postpone the sale, and advertise anow. ‘The repndi- ators were overawed by the presence of the posse—a collection of resolute aud determined citizens, protected by the law ofthe State. Except some violence of lan- guage, and an attempt to weary the collector by bidding accent at a time, as many of them did, they made no re- sistance to the sale.—Baltimore Patriot, Jug. 6. Wuar 1s 17 J—“A Mechanic,” in the Philadelphia Ledger, says that two gentlemen of that State have invented a new method of a houses, more durable than shingles, slate or tin, as brilliant as glass, fice-proof and water-proof; red, blue, yellow, green, or any other color that may be desired; a non-conductor of electricity, a reflector of heat; cheaper than tin, lighter than slate; being vitrified, it is almost indestructible by time or weather, und so easily put on that the largest roof can be covered ina single day, if desired. It requires very lit- tle descent; a roof covered with this material may be made as flat as any tin roof, without the least danger of leaking. Nothing short of actual violence will injure it. Should it come into general use, our cities will outshine the Kremlin of Moscow. When a house with a slate roof is on fire, the slates fly so that firemen are in great , danger, should they come near it; but this article having passed reas a the fire in the process of manufacture, is not liable to this objection; its durability is such that it will last as long as the house. Zanesvitie Woor Market. —H. S. Stephens, W. Galligher & Co., J. & A. Metcalf, and Prat & Cary of this place, have taken in the present season 76,719 lbs. of wool of ail grades, for which they have paid in cash $19,207 20, averaging some:hing over 25 cents a pound.
