4 RR So ET ID IEW YORK HERALD. | = New York, Sunday, September 14, 1845, = Mexican News. We have nothing later of great importance from Mexico, Still a great degree of excitement pre- vails, and all sorts of rumors are afloat, showing the intense interest and anxiety which affect the public mind in regard to this question of a war with Mexico. One of the correspondents of the New Orleans Jeffersonian Republican avers, positively, that the Mexican Congress had authorised the President to declare war against the United States—that thirty thousand men had been ordered to march to the Texan frontier, and that half that number of troops were already on the way. This is, however, hard- ly creditable. And yet we cannot pronounce posi- tively on its truth or falsehood, for it is hard to tell whatsudden and determined movement may be ta- ken by Mexico, when perhaps least expected. The correspondent of the Tropic mentions the same ru- mor, but expresses his doubts of its accuracy. Au- thentic intelligence had been received, of an unpar- alleled amount of desertion in the Mexican troops. A little time, however, must now give satisfactory | indications of the future course of Mexico, Agreat many persons think that there will be no war, and confidently point to the last advices as affording proof of their opinion. They consider that the Mexican authorities are merely manoeuvring for the purpose of getting a loan, so that they may fill their own peckets, or to get as much out of the United States as possible, by way of compromise, and that then we will hear no more of war But, in the meantime, if matters go on in this doubtful and exciting way much longer, i¢ will be almost impossible to prevent an expedition from be- ing tormed in the South-Western States to cross the Rio Grande, and go direct to Mexico itself. Sixty thousand could easily be collected in the South- West who would desire nothing better than such a | foray, and who would very speedily effect the an- nexation of Mexico. The war spirit is increasing in the west with fearful rapidity, and as we have just intimated, we should not be at all surprised to | see a volunteer expedition start against Mexico, de- | spite of the authority or opposition of the govern- ment at Washington. A strange spirit has broken | out, and who can say what may be the issue? | \ Surrrines or Tue “Courser anp Enquiner.”— | The Courier of yesterday ceiplains most bitterly of | the immense success of the Herald job-prinung es- | tablishment. With tears in its eyes—for once not at | all hypocritical—the Courier expresses its poignant | regret at the astounding fact that we execute the | printing of all the principal theatresin the city. The invective and abuse poured out against us by our decent and sober contemporary,may be readily ima- gined by those acquainted with the temper and cha- racter ofits conductor. Itsaysthat the Herald is owned and conducted by “ foreigners.” The truth is the Herald isa good deal more of an American paper than this same Courier. During the last four years we have paid over sixty thousand dollars to printers alone—all natives ; and indeed there are in this office more natives than foreigners. We have every reason indeed tobelieve that inthe Couvver of- fice there are more foreigners thanin the Heraldotlice , As to the proprietor of this journal being an “‘unna- | turalized foreigner,” it is only necessary to state that he owns real estate in this city; and if the editor | ©. the Courier will just inspect certain documents in the public archives at Albany, he will find that he has been telling falsehoods. As to the printing of the Park Theatre, the whole business was arranged when the proprietor of the | Herald was out of town, travelling in Pennsylvania, astsummer. He knew nothing o¢ it till it was all arranged, and no pledge whatever was either soli- cited by the Park management, or given on our part: that the Park would be noticed in any way. Itis false that the printing of the Park was taken from any “worthy mechanic.” On the death of the per- son who had formerly executed it, the Park manage- ment obtained from a number of printers proposals to do its printing, and gave it to that establishmen which could do it in the best and most satisfactory style, to wit, the Herald job printing establishment. The Courier, we may add, has behaved ina very ungenerous and unworthy manner with reference to the places of amusement in the city. tice of Macready, except his farewell speech—no notices of Anderson, the operas, or anything at the Park; but marvellous to relate,the Park was no, absolutely ruined by this neglect. At the same time the Courier was giving long editorial! notices of the Bowery Theatre and Circus, because their bills were printed at its job office. These also have since been discontinued. As to the moralsand the talent employed on this paper, the American people are the best judge. And | citizens; they are decidedly the best troupe that have | that judgment has not been withheld. During the last five years, since the “moral war” against us has commenced by the Courier and Engutirer, the circulation of the Herald has more than doubled, whilst in the same time the Courier circulation has diminished one-third. That is clear enough proot of the sentiments entertained by the people with regard to the two journals. And as to the abuse of the newspaper press of this country by the foreign periodicals that the Courier talks about,does not the blockhead recollect that it was from his own columns the greater portion of the extracts were taken, by which it was attempted to convict the newspaper press of the United States of all sorts of crimes and delinquencies ? All the complaints and grievings and heart-burn- ings and troubles which annoy the Courer and Enquirer with regard both to the Herald and Tri- bune and the cash press generally, are not without their meaning. The Courier and Enquirer and other large papers of that vicinity see their destiny Their day is drawing rapidly te aclose. A revolu- tion is going on in the newspaper press which will never stop till they are consigned to the tombs of all the Capulets. Three-fourths of these lazy, lum- bering. behind-the-age affairs have already gone the way of all flesh, and their ghosts, from the dreary realms of oblivion, are chaunting in the ears of the Courier and the other survivors— “Come away ! come away ‘The system of enterprise, independence, skill and talent introduced into the newspaper business by the Herald, has been successfully taken up by many of our contemporaries, such as the Tribune and others, and its operation will never cease, until every journal, like the Courier § Enquirer, be rout- ed out of existence, and driven from the field of action. Hine ill lachryme. To add another pang to the Courier, let us tell it that the Herald job-print- ing office has the printing of four of the principal theatres in New York, besides a variety of regular job-work of all descriptions, greater in fact, than it can eccomplish without the utmost exertion. On the other hand, the Courier office is losing its busi- ness every day. Such, it will be seen, is satisfactory evidence of the opinion entertained by the American people Telative to both of these illustrious and far-famed prints—the Courier & Enquirer, and the New York Herald.

Since July last, it gives a record of burglaries, robberies -nd thefts, embrac- | ing property to the amount of $200,000, the rewards oflered amounting to nearly $50,000. startling enough of the magnitude of crime amongst us. It seems that large classes of persons live by this business of robbery and theft, their head-quarters | being in New York. There are probably one thou- sand thieves and receivers of stolen goods in this city, and their movements and operations are regu- | lated by twenty or thirty chief thieves, who have gone through all the degrees of crime, und gradu- ated in other countries, principally in England.— | Some of these criminals live in elegant style—make excursions to Saratoga and the other fashionable | watering-places—figure at the ‘* United States” | balls and assemblies at the “ Springs.” Accerding | to a moderate estimate, it is supposed that about | one million of dollars worth of property is annually | stolen in this metropolis and neighborhood alone. | | | Cassivs M. Ciay—Invicnation Mesrin Several attempts have been made to get up indigna- tion meetings in favor of Cassius M. Clay, but it | appears that they have been failures.

Theatrical: souisH Ovena at THE Pann.—We seldom recollect any occasion in which so much interest has been excited in the theatrical and musical world, as there is at present relative to the revival of English opera atthe Park Thea. tre to-morrow night. A great deal of this is owing to the anvouncement of the debut of Miss Deley. She appears in “Amina” in La Sonnambu/a—a character in which she produced the greatest sensation in London. We have not the least doubt that her dedut will be brilliant in the extreme, and every way worthy of her high reputation. | Mr. Gardiner, of whom report speaks most favorable, also makes his first appearance here, and though last not least, that old favorite, Brough, once more appears on the stage as “Count Rodolph”—a part in which he formerly reaped a harvest of laurels.

Mn. Goucu Fouxo—Mr. John B. Gough, the Temper: ance Lecturer, whose mysterious disappearance has ex- | cited so much interest, was found yesterday, about noon, by Mr. F. G.

Mr. Gough did notat first recognise him, but afterwards remembered that he worked with him severul years ago, in the Methodist Book Concern. “ This is a fide new bu: siness you are engaged in,” said the young man.“ Yos, it is new to me,” answered Gough, * but much happier and more congenial to my feelings than my old occupa- tions, and I hope that you, too, are on the side of tempe rance.” “No,” said the young man, “I can’t go that. take a glass once ina while, when I want it. Here Gough turned off, and went up Broadway; but the young man followed, and continued the conversation ng, among other things, (we do not pretend to give the exact words,) * [suppose you are such a great Tem- perance man that you would not takea glass of soda water with a friend.” ‘ Not £0,” replied Gough, “| drink soda water very often, and consider it innocent “Phen take aglass with me,” said his companion. “No, [thank you,” said Gough,” “ I don't wish for any just now.” The young man continued to urge him, however, on the score of old acquaintance, and he figally consented. ‘They were then neur Thomp- son and Weller’s establishment, and turned to enter it ; but seeing that it was crowded, the young man told him that they would find it difficult to he accommodated there and he knew a better place close by.

In the taste of the water he discovered nothing peculiar, but he very | soon became giddy, and as to what has passed from that | time to this, his recollection appears very indistinct, and his language incoherent.

Mr. Hays obtained the information which led to his discovery, from Messrs. Camp & Wilkes, of the Police Gazette. In regard to what followed, after he drank the soda water, until he was recovered from his thraldom, there | is amystery which is yet to be unveiled. From all we can learn, we suppose he was duriag the whole time un- der the influence of liquor; but whether it was drank vo- luntarily, or administered by force, and with what drugs | accompanied, we know not. Evidently he has met with sadtreatment, either from himself or others. If from others, the whole affair must be probed to the bottom, and the suthors of the villany condignly punished. If from himself,his fall would seem,trom the above account | to have resulted from some vile admixture in the soda, | water, which bereft him of reason and self-control, and made him a prey to his old, but long suppressed appe | tite for strong drink.

We, last evening, called at the house. where he is at present with his wife and friends As there will probably be garbled statements abroad in | relation to this matter,we give the 2ccompanyingaccount | drawn up for publication by the geatleman (vie.

Hays discovered Mr. Gough at a house in Walker street, where he had been since Friday nigh | last. His own account of himself is, that, after leaving the Croton Hotel he met with an old shop-mate, win whom he drank, a8 he supposed, a glass of soda water and from that time tillhe was ‘found he has but little knowledge of what transpired “He is now with his friends, and under the care of a | physician, and hopes are entertained of his speedy reco very.” It was not ata soda fountain in Broadway that Mr Gough and his companion drank, but ata shop in some street leading out of, or crossing’ Broadway.

I do not refuse to drink soda water ; and here is a fountain ; suppose we go in and havea glass.” They were, at this time, passing ‘Thompson & Wel- Jer’s, in Broadway: but, stopping at the door, they saw a large number ol persons waiting round the fountain, when Mr. G's acquaintance said—“Come with me, I can | soon take you where you can get a better glass of soda than you can get there ;” and, so saying, led him round a corner to a small shop, where he called for soda, some- | thing passing between the keeper of the place and the | person in whose company Mr. G. had fallen. The soda water being prepared, he drank it, and that is the last that Mr G. recollects till this morning, when he recol- | lects to have heard it said that there was a reward offe ed for “Mr. Gough, the Temperance lecturer.” ; _ Mr. Gough’s friends make no charges as, yet; they are | rejoiced at having their friend, and the friend of tempe- | Trance restored to them; and they thank Heaven that he | has been preserved. But what course will the public | | authorities pursue? Will not every person, who has been engaged in this fiendish transaction, be called to account! We sincerely hope so.

J. B. Govan Fourn.—The mystery has been partially ‘ed, and Mr. Gongh has been in part restored to hi friends. We say in part restored to nis friends, because his mind is not restored, which is the greater part of the man. He can give no rational account of himself, oni many of his friends feel that they have as yet but reco. vered his body. Should his mind be restored we ma be able to ascertain something definite about the cause of his sudden disappearance When he was found by Gilbert F. Hays~son of Old Hays, ina back building in Walker street, he was deli- rows, and has continued in that state ever. since, with but tew lucid intervals, during which he seemed to talk in a rational manner. Gough had when he lett $320, and when he was recovered, only about $60 or $70 of the money was found upon him, but his watch and other articles were returned to Mr. Hurlbut by the woman in whose house he was foun giv th think best to abstain from making any remarks in to his case at present, believing, as we do, that it Jough has been wrongly dealt with, the intelligent officer who has the matter in charge, will probe it to the bottom, and the villain or villains who would be muilty of such an act brougbe to justice. But, if on the other hand Mr Gough has fallen from his high estate, and aga come the victim of an appetite which is “like that dieth not,” then it he greatly to he pitied he comes the duty of the friends of the cause he has 80 ably | and eloquently advocated, to use every endeavor to re | cover him from the grasp of his enemy i bis morning we had a ersation with Mr Gi. | the officer who restored Mr. Gough to his friends ures us from all the information that he can ob+ tala, that Mr. Gough could not have been absent from be: the worm | mental and physical prostration. h | to be of great respectability, wore a fine gol | creay regarding the whi the store of Saxton & Miles for more than an hour when he was admitted to the house where he was found. He was delirious when he was admitted to the house, and he was immediately put to bed, and did not leave it antil he was taken away by’ the officer. The woman who keeps the house, says that every thing was done to re- store him to his senses, and when he seemei to revive, she begged him to tellher who he was, and where hi lived, but she could not get any satisfactory ‘anew. from him. He hat no liquor or any thing of the kind while in her house Another statement has also appeared from the parties who were the means of rescuing Mr. Gough from his lost condition, viz: the Editors of the Na- tional Police Gazette; but it is still more confused and contradictory than the others, and not at all the “clear, full, and’ precise relation” the public have a right to expect, emanating, as it says, trom those , who ‘are the only parties privy to the particulars.” ‘They state that two days previous to the issue of the placard that his friends posted all over the town, informing the public of his disappearance, that “ in- formation was left at their office, that a young man, recently arrived in town, lay secretly concealed in a house in Walker street, in a state of complete That he appeared watch, and had a considerable sum of money about him, and that his only want appeared to be a continual and feverish craving for alcoholic stimulants, which were {urnished him in the profusion that his unfor- tunate monomania demanded.” They made some enquiries as to the particular house, but were un- successful in learning; that when they heard of Mr. Gough’s disappearance, they at” once concluded that it was him, and applying themselves vigvrously, ascertained the house, and found him there in a back bed room in a dreadfully prostrated state. “From his broken and depressed condition, he was unable to give a connected account of the circumstances of his case; but he insisted with vehemence that he had been the victim of a plot, and had been drugged by a de- signing person. ‘The mates of the house protested that he had ceme there of his own accord, under the influ ence of some stimulating drink, and laboring under the idea that he was pursued, he begged them to secrete and protect him. That he had fallen ill at once, and that they had afforded him all the assistance which his con- fused to tell hix name, and denied He laid dition required. He re having any relations, connections or friend: alone, and had.only once during his stay P with drink, and that was to the extent of half a p cherry brandy, which he drank at intervals. himself corroborated thei fement, and the fact of all his property being in his possession, with the exception of the natural expenditure of a week of extravagance, acquits them of any complicity with his supposed eno- mies. For this reason, aud in just protection against im- proper interference with them, their house is not de- scribed.” ‘Thus we find according to'the inmates of the house, that he came there of his own accord wild and ex- cited with liquor, but that he had not drank any thing more than half a pint of cherry brandy during his stay! Now we may remark that the first infor- mation his discoverers had of him, was that his on- ly want appeared to be “a continual and feverish craving for alcoholic stimulants, which were furnish- ed himin abundance;” therefore, the story of the half pintof cherry brandy 1s rather a tough one. Another inconsistency is the time he spent at that house, where he ‘lay alone,” and “had fallen ill at once,” and ‘thad only once been supplied with cher- ry brandy,” for immediately after we find that all his property was in his possession, with the excep- tion of the“natural” expenditure of a week’s extrava- gance. Now ifhe had been at this house during the whole week that he was missing, that is from the time of taking the famous soda water up to the time he was discovered, and_ lived as they represent him to have done, how can it be called a week of extra- vagance ? Surely the expenditure for a glass of so- da water and a half pint of cherry brandy during a whole week can scarcely be called extravagance. Another question unexplained by the captors is, how much money was missing from the sum he was known to have had about him, as the assertion that it was allsafe save the “natural expenditure of a week of extravagatice,” is, to say the least, rather a vague way oftelling things. After dressing him and aending hin home they make most persevering en- quiries of Mr. Gough regarding his version of the | story as tohow he got to Walker street, and learn the lollowing :— “By persevering enquiry, we learned from Gough the name of the man Whom he charges as his betrayer. He says that he isan acquaintance of long standing, who, however. is bitterly opposed to the cause of temperance; | that he accosted him in Broadway immediately upon his departure from his hotel, and invited him to take a glass of sarsaparilla in a confectionary store; that in a few mi- nutes alter drinking it he felt a sudden and unnatural ex- | hiliration of spirits, and from that moment lost all com- mand of himself Wandering about under she influence of this delirium he fell in with a person in Walker street whom he begged to protect him, and who conveyed him to the house where he was found ‘The restraining facul- ties of his mind being thus completely vanquished, the dormant passions were aroused and triumphed, and the old infatuation resumed possession of its vacant throne.” By this statement we are again involvedfin fresh contradictions. house is that he cams there of his own accord, now again we tind “he fell in with a person in Walker | | street, whom he begged to protect him, and who conveyed him to the house where he was found.” Another statement of the inmates was that he only | had ahulf pint of cherry brandy during his stay Here again we learn that the “dormant passions were aroused and the old infatuation resumed pos- ‘on of ita vacant throne.” By old infatuation is | meaut drink, we presume, and we must say that if the fumous soda water und earsaparilla und the half rint cherry brandy shattered him to the extent de- scribed he must have been very easily overcome, jor these are the only intoxicating articles he 1s de- scribed as having taken during his “ week's extrav- agance.”” But it is the most extraordinary part of this “‘state- ment” is yet to come. “It is our personal opinion, that he unwarily swal- lowed an overdose of opium, and that during its preter- natural excitement, he followed on with Tiqur, and while in tuis state, he has been sufficiently conscious of his condition to endeavor to conceal himself {rom public | view. A private store of the drug secreted on his per- Here we have a third agent in producing his un- fortunate situation ; first, the soda water aon his ** betrayer ;” second, “ the half pint cherry brandy,” and now as a finale, “ opium.” After all these statements comes the closing one. “ We are told to expecta public statement from the forum, by Mr. Gough himself, in the course of a | tew days,” which we think after the remarkabl obscure,contradictc ry and inconsistent way in wiich his discoverers have related their story is highly necessary, though be not much clearer and more satisfactory than their's, will scarcely lead to the point they anticipate in the tollowing :—‘ It is his privilege, and if he exercise it wisely, the above circumstances will eventuate in his fortune, rather than his ruin.” But setting aside the inconsistencies and absurdi- ties of this last statement, issued, as itis, “by au- thority,” in the three first statements,there is ample material for a number of questions which it would be desirable to have answered as quickly as possi- ble, in order to clear u ous subject, such as Who is this old friend? where did he come from? what has become of him? where did he drink the soda water? what syrup did he take? was it lemon, or sarsapari!la? was it bottled soda; or did he take ittrom the fountain? what extraordinary drug was put in it? can a drug keep a man delirious a week, without killing him? where did he go after tuking this extraordinary compound? what became of his money? and to what company did his old friend, the bookbinder, introduce him? Was he alone during his sojourn from the world? and how did he spend his time? All these qnestions at once present themselves to the enquiring mind of the thirster alter temperance. satisfied with the vague reports that were fly- ing about town, we determined, yesterday, to sat ay ourselves on this question, and accordingly des- patched one of our reporters, to ascertain all the frets that could be gotat; and after some trouble and verseverance, We at last struck upon the trae vein of discovery. Itappears that the keeper of a groce- ry and liquor shop, 1a Walker street, was somewhat estonished, last week, at being informed by a wo- inan who keeps ahouse of somewhat doubtful repu- tation, in an alley in that street, not far from Centre street, that she regretted she had not known that he kept liquor at his establishment, as a youog man had been stopping at her house, for two or three ays, who spenta good deal of money, daily, for | liquor and etceteras; and that she would have had much pleasure in giving the custom to him, had she knowa he could have supplied her. Our reporter requested the person in question to eall down at this house, and obtain infortnation regardin| gentleman, whieh he did,'and informed hith th at the wontin refuse (to give him anyrvore information than she had, stating thet sie nad been bound over to se- er transaction, This is the ain total of the information that we obtained, and we leave our readers to suriime whether this mys {rrious stranger, and the missing Mr. Gough, are identical. ‘The bearing that this whole transaction may have upon the Temperance party remains yet to be seen How will these stories sound in the ‘Tabernacle and in the varions Temperance Lecture Rooms through- ovt the couontry 1 Will they be introduced among the reminiscences of the reformed drunkards, that have so tickled the ears of the intellectual audiences ‘hat for the last few years have crowded the various lectures that have been given, and exalted the lee ‘urers themselves to the seventh heaven placency, while gravely reeinng the di tails of their “ experiences | or will it establish. @ lew theory in Temperance pledges, viz: that the signing of such a document does not forever debar the signer fi wn sional “spree” if he so desires ¥ conducting Temperance Societies, meetings, proces- sion, leetures, prenies, we. &e, as practised here, is based ona system completely contrary to. the rules of common pases ng Ape? pe ri i igh time that the bubble shot pricked. je j, quent, we may say daily, of those who have The statement of the people of the | all doubts on this mysteri- | the young | self-com- | eine de- taking a glass of brandy, or even | ‘The fact of the ra stter is thatthe entire system of silgre she , is proof sufficient of the total ina- bility of he pledge. ate addicted to the immoderate use of liquor to withstand the temptation of indul- gence. ‘We find from daily experience that they merely exchange the stimulus of liquor for either opium, segars, or some other equally noxious drugs The modus operandi of the societies hitherto has been to select some miserable outcast from the filth of drunkenness in which he was wallowing, keep up his spirits by some adventitious means, issue flourishing bills, call upon the people to come forward, en masse, have bands of music, lights and the excitement of a crowd to keep up the steam, and the proft has been divided between the few behind the curtain and the lecturer, the former generally keeping the lion’s share. Converts have paraded forth before the public, taking care not to mention the proportion that break their pledge. Political parties have used the Temperance doctrine as atest question, in fact every means and every length has *been gone into, to shove it down the throats of those who ventured to oppose it. In many circles, for_a person not to belong to a Tem- perance Society is a bar to his admission, and he has been looked on as an outcast and lost sheep, nndeserving of notice. Like every fanatical notion that has appeared since the commencement of the world, this one has extended to bursting, and people will probably now look about them with calmer views. We never belonged to a Temperance So- ciety fora very simple reason. We have always used good wine and liquor, as it was intended to be used by its bestower,that is in moderation,and when we required it; and those who are able to maintain their equilibrium under these circumstances, need never call upon the aid of a temperance pledge to protect them, whilst those who unfortunately are cursed with an inmate appetite for stimulus of ‘some kind, we are afraid will never be benefitted by any pledge, oath, or bond, however solemoly taken ; if they do not indulge in liquor, they will in something else; and to expect them to change the nature which they unfortunately are born with and probably inherit, is as much out of the quegtion as to expect the poor con sumptive invalid, who has descended from along line of consumptive parents, to change his entire system by simply signing a pledge to that effect. City Intelligence. Tar Weatnen.—The weather was quite cold and degrees. Birr Censvs.—Although returns from several districts have been sent in, there have been no full returns from any of the wards. There has been, we believe, some misunderstanding on the part of somebody in regard to the marshal’s duty inthe premises. ‘T'ho first day of Sep- tember is fixed by law as the time when the returns shall be sent in. Tre Hartem Cans.—We have been informed that in the Harlem cars ladies are often subjectedto the neces- sity of being seated by the side of monstrous specimens of the negro race. This must be particularly annoying to ladies, and although it may be perfectly correct in the theories and dreams of our abolition philosophers, it is not in a practical point of view particularly pleasant. adie tin tmane/orithe cars care old (avaeiiy. olrtyiand inconvenient. This should not be so. Harlem stock sells at a good price in the market, and the managers of this road should be particularly careful to have every- thing of an offensive nature excluded. Loperna, Hovsrs.—In this oity of eating houses, where | one can step in at any hour of the day and get a meal, it has appeared strange to us, that to meet the wants of those who prefer living in this manner, some more gen- eral aystera of lodging has not been put into operation.— | It is much more convenient for clerks, lawyers, and ma- | ny others, to take their meals at eating houses, instead | of going to their boarding houses. It would be a very | good paying business to open houses in different parts of | the city, and furnish them as mere lodging houses, rent- ing the rooms at prices varying, of course, according to the location of the house and room. Let some enterpri- sing person take hold of this business, and if properly conducted, success would be sure to follow. |. Francis Davenront.—Nothing has yet been heard of | this absconding messenger. A reward of five hundred | dollars is offered for his arrest—certainly an opportunity | for an energetic man to make a snug little sum of money. | , Inpusrry anv Rewarv.—While a certain class of phi- losophers are endeavoring to excite the public mind, and | create a spirit of discontent among the masses, by utter- | ing their senseless harangues about the oppressions of | the laborer, his hardships aud his small compensation, it is pleasant to find instances which exhibit the true cause of the evils which keep some portion of society in pov | erty. We yesterday met a young man, formerly an ac- quaintance, and were somewhat sirprised at seeing him standing by acart, witha rough frock on, and in the act of rolling on a byle of goods. ‘I'wo years ago, when we | had known him before, he was a clerk in a large jobbing house in Pearl street. His employers failed, and he was | left poor and without resources. He applied for em- | ployment as a clerk, but not being able to procure asitu- | ation which suited him exa tly. he went to work as a | laborer, on a new railroad, at the wages of one dollar per | day. He continued steadily at work until he obtained money sufficient to purchase a borse and cart, which he | did, took himself a wife, is now making from two to five | dollars per day, and says he was never happier. This example exhibits the true mode of domg business in this world. Ifjust such employment and just such salary as | could be wished cannot be procured, such employment and such salary as can be procured should be gladly ac- | cepted until something better can be had; and a man with health and common sense need never have any difli- culty in procuring employment of some kind. It is this very spirit of discontent with which the new-fangled re- formers are endeavoring to inspire the masses, which creates two-thirds of the poverty that exists. A Forceny.—At about 11 o'clock yesterday morning, a young man presenteda check for $472 at the Mech: nics’ Bank. purporting to be drawn by one of the direc- tors of that institution, The board of directors were then in session, and the teller, having suspicions that the check was a forgery, sent it up for the examination o! | the gentleman whose name it bore, who directly pro nounced it a forgery. The young man who presented for payment said that he had received it froma person at a short distance from the sbip Louis Phillippe, that he was desired to get it and ,meet the stranger on ' board that ship. He was to be compensated for his trou- ble. A gentleman belonging to the bank was sent with the youth, to the ship, but on going on board no person answering the description of the man who gave the check could be found. | Movem: nts of Travellers. Yesterday's premonitory indication of something more sensitively serious than mere autumnal freshness put to the move many of those Southern visitors who, in the language of Enin’s bard— “When pleasure begins to grow dull in the Fast, Will order their wings and be off to the W ‘The dispersion and flight of these birds of p terday, was not more rapid than their early v: welcome; and whole flocks have left us to enjoy mate more congenialand a home more social aud happy But few travellers arrived yesterday.

New City Hatt —The Common Council met in se- cret session on Thursday evening. for the purpose of devising ways and means to complete the City Hall, 0 long since commenced, and so long abandoned. Th result of their delibyrations is as yet unknown. ‘The democrats of Kings county meet in Convention at Brooklyn on the 17th of September, to select delegat to the Ist District Senatorial Convention. Nomination Decuinev.—Mr. G. L. Martens nated a few days since for Assembly, by the natives of Kings county, has declined the proffered honor. Rericiovs.—The ‘ht Rev, Dr. Chase, Bishop of Ili- nois, will preach in Calvary Church, Pearl street, this morning. Cononsr’s Inquest.—Information was yesterday giv- en to Mr. Oakes, Coroner of Kings county, that the body of Mr. Elias H. Hubbard, Jr., (son of Judge Hub- bard, of Flat! : week ago,) had been found in the bay, uear Shad ¢ Inlet. An inquest was held at Cottage, Ci sa, and the jury found that the deceased »7as accidentally drowned. “The unfortunate man was one of the recently appointed Marshals to take the census of Kings county, and is said to have possessed talents of a su,,erior order. He was, however, unfortunately addicted to intempe- rance, and has for some time past been sepa,ated from nis wife and children, who reside with a re lative in Brooklyn. It is not a little singular that one of »,'T- Hub- bard’s ill-fated companions was equally unforta ately situated in his domestic relations; and this is the ye id cause of the dereliction of both trom the paths of sobm ety. Srsctat Sgesions.—A man named Eleazer alias Jose, Smith, ali latthews, was tried at a Special Session’® yeateniey, before Judge Church and a jury, ona charge preferred against him for committing a petit larceny at the house of Mr. Leavitt, 81 Willow street, He defend- ed himself in a very ingenious and able manner, but the jury convicted him, and he was sentenced to be imprison- | ed, at hard laber, in the County Jail, for tha term of three months. Justice Church, prior to delive: oenett upon the prisoner, very eloquently expressed his regret at Irores compelled to incarcerate a man who was evident- ly fitted for a better situation in life, and whose education and abilities would have enabled him to become an or- nament to society. The worthy .ragistrate advised him to proceed to Oregon-or Texas immediately after his re- | lease from prison, where an opportunity might be afford- ed hint of becoming eminent in some judicial or legisla- tive capacity. He was also recommended (if he had not | the wherewith to get to the “remote west,” or ‘far | south” in any other manner) to obtain the means of tra- velling by lecturing on temperance or religion, in the | various towns or places through which he might have | occasion to pass. To ux DisinreRnen.—The body of Matthews, one of the men drowned near Barren Island last week (and who was buried without an inquest having been held) will be interred to-day, by order of Mr. Oakes, coroner of Kings county, for the purpose of regular proceedings being instituteu in relation to the casualty. Curious Ronsery.—Mr. B. M. Stilwell, attorney at law, made a curious complaint at the police office y terda: ds, and one of the four persons drowned a reek hogany bureau, French bedstead, a marble top stand, and a quantity of books and clothtog M1 well also deposed that he believed the goods thus felo- niously taken from the premises to be at a certaiit house in Jay street, the occupant of which he professe know. Either there is some mistake in this matter, or the watchmen of Brooklyn are grossly remiss in the dis- charge of their duties. German Porutation of Brooxtyx.—There are up- wards of three thousand Germans in this city, many of whom have contributed liberally to build a new church, in which the services are to be conducted in the primi- tive lavguage of the congregation. Weexty Rerort or Inrerments.—During the weok ending on the 6th inst., there were twenty-eight deat in Brooklyn; seventeen being infants, and eleven adults. Hosrivauity.—It is a gratifying fact, and worthy of racord, that more offers to entertain the stranger? attend- | ing the Missionary Convention just closed, were made to the committee of arrangements, than could by any pos- sibility, be accepted; sithough the number requiring such entertainment was very large. Covat or Oyex anv Terminer.—This Court was yes- terday adjourned sine die, Judge Parker being compelled to leave for Greene county, where he has to hold a cuit. An immense amount of business was left undis- posed of in Brooklyn. County Pnison.—There are at tie pe inthe county Jail seventy-seven prisoners, being a greater number than at any previous period. 'Not a single criminal case was tried during the sitting of the Oyer and Termino! and only two prisoners were discharged by prociai tion. ‘here will be no other Court in session until next month, when the General Sessions will be open. Crncvit Count.—The only action tried.vesterday was assanit and battery,in which Amaziah Goff’ was plaintiff, and Peter B. Anderson defendant. The assoult complain+ ed of took place in July last. N. F. Waring, Esq, ap- peared as counsel for the plaintiff, and the jury found a verdict in his favor for $300 damages and costs. Tho | Court then adjourned sine die.
