} i" NEW YORK HERALD. New York, Monday, September 8, 1845, The Expected News. The Great Western is inher sixteenth day. If she does not make her appearance to-day, we shall begin to suspect that she did not sail on the 28d ult. She arrived at Liverpool on the 18th ult., and had, therefore, but very little over four days to get ready for her return trip to this city. It is said that she had engaged on the 19th ult. one huudred and forty passengers, including Leo- pold de Meyer, the celebrated pianist. The War in Texas, There was nothing decisive from the seat of war, by yesterday’s mails. We received a few furthe™ pirticulars from Texas and from New Mexico, also from Sisal, by the Avola, arrived last evening in twenty-one days passage. All that appears in the accounts is, that our troops were in excellent health and condition in Texas, and that, according to the Captain of the Avola, active preparations were ma- king in Mexico for war with the United States. Qu Victoria’s Rambles—Royal Cliques Brewing Mischief, On our first page, we give an abridged account, from the London Tunes, of her Britannic Majesty’s movements on sea and land. It will, we think, be found amusing, and provoke some innocent laughter; for, certainly, itis as fine a specimen of the serio- comic as could be seen either before or behind th? foot-lights of the world’s stage. Some good-natured readers may be more ready to commisserate its sub- ject, than be amused with the narrative. ‘ Uneasy lies the head that wears a crown.” We hope her M jjesty’s bustle—if such be a royal appendage—did n tgetcrushed among Dutch burgomasters, brave B lges, Prussian dragoons, “ whiskered pandours, ©: fierce hussars,” who, as the recorde say, flocked 4a amazing numbers, to alarming proximity, ‘o- wards the hapless, but supremely lionized Victoria. Had the writer of this veracious narrative informed us on this point, it would have added to the interest of this production; but, in absence of any testimony onthe point, we are disposed to believe that as Gulliver in his travels came out of the hands of the Brobdignags safe and sound, our royal traveller wil) escape uninjured from the mighty attentions of the great functionaries, large masses, small drummers, brilliant fire-works, and dazzling sovereigns of the continent. Why should we not be intensely gratified on this side of the Atlantic, with this pleasant exhibition of rezal pomp and ceremony. Nothing ought to be more agreeable to the friends of republican dignity, simplicity, and equality than to witness the con trast between them and such poor pageants as the sovereigns of Europe are getting up for the diver” aion of Christendom. Such movements as those o‘her Majesty and royal cousins, on the borders of tie Rhine,fare just the kind we desire to see king- ship engaged in. Be its powers of locomotion as Mreatas steamers and railroads can make them ; nay, they are perfectly free to go to heaven in a hand-basket, and leave this world to get on without them. There is a movement of another kind that will progress unimpeded in their absence—the march of republican freedom—the ascendancy of its principles, and the elevation of the masses from vas- silage and ignorance, to enl:ghtenment and in- tuence. Bat in another point of view, there is a meaning to be found in all this parade and apparently empty pageantry. Since the days of the Holy Alliance, there has not been seen anything like the unity of purpose between European Kings, Queens, and Princes, which prevails at present, unless when the allied powers confederated to put down Napoleon. Fear was at the bottom of the last, as superstition was the cause of the first; and if we look sharp, we will discover always such amiable motives to be at the foundation of harmony and intimacy between crowned heads. If it be true, that “ it is not for nothing the cat winks,” there must be a reason for the Queen casting her amicable glances towards her fellow sovereigns ; there isa fellow feeling among them which has marvellously increased, all of a sudden, their affection and regard for each other. Jt isto be suspected, however, that all this cor- diality is far from real; and yet the thing is so well managed, that it looks as much so as any counter- feit can. Are there not the same passions at work in royal bosoms, the same cabinet plotung among Statesmen to check mate each other, the same con- tiguity of boundary, and the same rivalry in com- merce between these different nations as betore ? It is quite unreasonable to imagine all these motives to rivalry and ill will, whose operation has for cen- turies drenched the plains of Europe with blood, as all at once stifled and eradicated, and we are not to secribe this visiting and assurances of high con. sideration among the powers of Europe as the dawn of a new era, but as a tacit and temporary abdication of some of the characteristics of the old, for an ul- terior purpose. That purpose is the aggrandisement of royal power, the consolidation of monarchical privileges, the curtailment of popular rights, and the prevention of the march of democratic institutions. They have seen this new agent arising in the West in amazing force ; they see it spreading daily, and ac- | quiring a home in every honest mind, and feel that it must very soon sap the existence of thrones and kings. It is for this reason we eee the fearful occu- piers of these giddy elevations in counsel and draw- og up closer together, with that instinctive dread taat preceeds impending danger. We have only to add that the day must come, and if they are re- solved on putting it off, they must stay at home, at- tend to their own concerns, and forbear to mingle 4n those of the Republics of the new world. A wish to interfere on this continent is the most dan- gerous one they could entertain; and if not given up by the statesmen of the old world it will surely bring them into collision with us, and hurry on their day of visitation with great rapidity. Let them but resign this pretension, and it may add a few years to their mortal career. Statistics or New-York.—Census Returxs.— We have seen the complete returns from twenty to thirty towns, and those from the remainder of the state willsoon be ready tor publication. Thus far these statistical facts show, that in about one seventh of the towns the population has decreased ; in one fourth there has been a very great increase, as high as fifty per cent in several instances ; and in the other towns,the inhabitants have increased from five o twenty per cent. According to these returns, the aggregate popula- tion in the state is not far from three millions, agains two millions and four hundred thousand in 1840; Bat in addition to the population, we shall ascer- tain by this census, the actual wealth of the state in all sorts of manufactures, and productions, facts which will be of the greatest value to the mechanic and tradesman, as well as to the politician and phi- losopher. These statistics may be better relied upon for accuracy, than those gathered by the au- thority of the general government in 1840—those having been questioned in many important particu- lars. Then the people did not understand the mo- tives of the census takers, many supposing them to be tax collectors, and they would not, theretore, give acomplete account of their labor and produc- tion. Now there is a strong desire abroad to ascer- tain the wealth of the state, and hence accurate returns are obtained with greater facility. The state of Massachusetts ix also employed in acquiring complete returns of that commonwealth Consecration oF St. Peren’s Caurcn, Stare’ Istanv.—Our report of the ceremony and the pro- ceedings at the consecration of the new Catholic Church, at New Brighton, Staten Island, on yester- day, are unavoidably crowded out.

The Te ezraph, however, thinks the organization of the present Government should be maintained with as much care aud solicitude as if annexation to the United States were forever out of the question. It says:— Annexation may break down in the next session of the United States Congress, after all—at least there is a chance that itmay. Mighty efforts will be made to defer the ratification of oti Constitution as Jong as possible, if it shall be found impracticable to defeat it: Should it become necessary for the new Texan Congress to act, we may be sure that the matters submitted to them will be of most vital importance, and its deliberations pos- sess a degree of interest to which the history of all pre- ceding sessions can furnish no paraliel. ‘The Cwilian says :—Major Donnelson informed us on his return from the West, that Gen. ‘Taylor would, im- mediately after disembarking and establishing coii-fort ably on shore the United States trodps under his com- mand, proceed to the seat of government and communi- cate with President Jones as to the Point they would oc- cupy and the movements they would make, consulting and acting in concert with the present government of Texas in the matter.

We happened to be one of the latter, and as the chance was ao admirable one to extend the list of our acquaintances, and sperkape enroll upon our catalogue a few more endearing friends, we, of course, embraced the opportunity. With all pa- | tience we waited the evening to come. It came— the eompany met—and the party is over. Last evening’s resplendent illumination of that house, bespoke not half the brilliancy within.

Never did firemen, in any city, display more aticrity, perseverance, or determination, than those con nected with thé department in Brooklyn, and they were | ably and efficiently assisted ty several brave fellows | from New York, who flocked across the ferry in crowds | immediately on the alarm reaching them. Companies | No. 5, (John Lawrence, foreman,) No. 12, (Peter Craig- | ston, foreman.) and Nos. 3 and 8 especially distinguished | themselves; but their labors were rendered compara- tively unavailing in consequence of the unfortunate lack of water, which has been so often complained of in this city. The Common Council of Brooklyn must now | clearly perceive that if they do not provide better for the | safety of their constituents, in relation to supplies of w: ter, than they have oeretofore done, the most disastrous consequences must, soorer or later, take place. Fortier Paxticurans of tHe Fras —Mr. Wilson, | proprietors of te premises in which the fire originated, | and Mr. McNairy, machinist, were the principal sufler- | ers by this disaster. The former lost upwards of $200 | in money, two valuable horses, and an extensive stock of | Koods, Consisting chieuy of coffee, xpices, &c., arid was only insured a small amount upon his machinery; Mr. MeNaury, whose loss is estimated at $2,000, was insured | in thé Williamsburgh office for only $600; Mr. Dix, | blacksmith, lost two houses, worth about $1100, upon which he had aninsurancé of $640 ; Mr. Afflick, builder, | lost his dwelling house, upon which hé liad no insuranee: and two houses belonging to Mr. Plumstead were burnt | to the ground,—b ‘th of them, however, (with the excep- | tion of their*tontents,) being tully insured in the Kast | River Company’s Office, New York. Mr. George How- | land lost three houses, supposed to be insured, and | several persons occupying the vario remit lost | tndny artrcles of furniture, without having any tnsur- ance. Amongst thase, were Mrs. Hall, Mr. J. Stafford, | Mr. McCurdy, Mr. Bower, Mr. Milton, and others. The buildings were all of an unsubstantiat and combustible character, and, but for the extraordinary exertions of | the firemen, the des ruction must have been much more widely spread.
