THE NEW YORK HERALD. Vel. XI., No. 246—Whole No. 4118. Important from Oregon, | We have received some important intelligence from Oregon. It appears that the English residents | have had for some time a regularly organized gov- ernment, anthorized and protected by the British Parliament. It also appears that the Americans were engaged, at the last accounts, in establishing a government of their own. This, it will be recol- lected, they threatened afew months ago. The St. Josephs Gazette publishes two letters from an emigrant to Oregon. ‘The first, dated the 17th of Febru- ary, alludes chiefly to the progr hich the settlers are making. The writer speaks in warm terms of the coun- try, ‘and says that the emigrants raised a surplus of wheat last year of 100, bushels. The other letter is | more important, beca: it shows that the emigrants | have ulready establishe arate government. Poli- tics, it seems, wero running, high, and there, as here, | there sppears to be no lacyfér mon ready to take the ra: | sponsible office of Goverhor. The organization ef thi government will very likely bring about acollision be- tween the emigrants and the Hudson Bay Company. That company, { ral years past, has had a Go- vernment organized under an act of the English Parliament, under which there is a resident Justice of the Peaco at Fort Vancouver, and one at se- These Justices have juris- i all suits and contracts not exceeding £200, and over certain offences, for which they may in- flict punishment. Suits for largersums, and offences of a higher grade, are referred to the superior courts of Ca- nada, and in criminal cuses the accused may be sent there for trial. The jurisdiction of these Justice: believe, extends to all cases arising between members of the Hud- sen Bay Company, or Persons in their employ, and to cas ing between the company and their employe and persons not connected with them. As there must necessarily be many transactions between the emigrants andthe Hudson Bay Company and their employees, in which disputes and difficulties will arise, it is reasonable to suppase that in such cases both governments will pro- bably claim jurisdiction, and such conflicting claims will doudtless lead to difficulty, If the emigrants feel suttic: ent security in themselves to establish an independent government, they will not tainely submit to any assump- tions of the English Company or of their officers. We learn by the anzexed letter, that there are three candidates for Governor im the field. We should like to know the designation of the parties, and the principles they respectively contend for. ‘The fact that our citizens have goue to Oregon—a country claimed by the United States as a pert of her territory-—and that they have been forced, as a means of self-protection to esta: | blish a government of their own, and at their own expense, speaks badly for the attention and guar- dian care of the National Government. ‘This state of things, and the necessity for it, should not have been «d_ by our national legislators. The emigrants, it seems, from the first letter, are not very well prepared to meet the expense of an independent government, un- kins, peltries, &c., are made a lawful tender. ‘The says: “There is little or no money in this country, vusiness is carried on entirely by exchangin; commedls 98. I did not believe that the people could do as well without money.” A grist mill with three run of stones has been put into operation at the Wallamette Falls. Merchandize is said to be very scarce. Maxcn 28.—We have had some beautiful weather in this month. The farmers are driving business as they should. There werd some fears entertained a few days since of a difficulty with Indians, but I donot think there was any cause for alarm. Politics are running very high at this time here, as our general election comes on in May. I think, that it is the opinion of every body, that Uncle Sam is treating us with great neglect, in con: sequence of which we have organized into a government known by the name of the Government of Oregon. We have three candidates forthe Executive office, to wit: George ehemmatay Osborn. Russell, and Dr. Bailey. J was a momber of the Legislative Committee last year. Mr. Burnett was also amember.

By the Hudson Bay Company's barque Cowlitz, at the Sandwich Islands, the followiug letter, dated Oregon, January 11th, had been Tecelved:— “From the best information I can obtain, the present emigration from the United States (and mostly from M souri) numbers above eight hundred, including m women and children—some say many more. The Legis- lative Committee of Oregon rose afew days since from tho silting adjourned from June last. The town at the ‘Wallamotte Falls is incorperated; and at the election of the city council much spirit was exhibited. The parties in politics cre now Hon. H. B. nen and Americans. Geo. Atenatiy, Hi q is elected Mayor. Whe health of the country is remarkably good. The season thus far has been warm and exceedingly rainy. Much damage has been done by high water in the country.” [From Boston Post, Sept. 16.] Yesterday aiternoon two companies of artillery, arm- ed as infantry, under command of Captain F. Taylor, ur- rived inthis city from Fort Adams, Newport, and em- barked on board the Albatross. They were accompa- nied by the regimental band, headed by fine-looking drum major, in a splendid’ uniform. Two companies s more are expected from the eastward to-day, to go out in the same vessel. Dreavra Tornapo—Great Destruction oF Prorerty, and MarvELLOUS PRESERVATION OF day afternoon our town was visited by destructive tornadoes, accompanied by d rain, ever known in this section of the country. ‘The storm did net last over five minutes, but the work of destruction is truly frightful to contemplate For about three miles in length and one-fourth in width, houses and barna ure unroofed and torn inpieces, fences scattered tothe four winds of heaven, orchards torn up by the roots, and forests literally levelled to the earth. The tor- nado commenced its ravages on the farm lately owned by Samuel Smith, deceased, about two miles west of this village. It prnstrated the orchard and fences, and dam- aged the house and barn considerably. From thence it pursued a south-easterly direction, leaving nothing in its track but wreck and ruin. The amount of damyge, or the names of all the sufferors,we have not learned. Nor- mun Wilcox had the roof ofa new house taken off,and the entire building moved abvut three feet. J. Tompson had the root of a barn torn to pieces and his fences scat- tered in all directions. Mrs. Cowan also had a barn bad- ly torn to pieces, and fences prostrated. Peter McFar- tan had « large stack of hay taken up in a body, and car- tied high above the surrounding forest, out of sight Leonard Conant had between two and three hundred handsome maple trees torn up by the roots, and entirel destroyed. Yet the greatest sufferer, we understand, is Thomus Paddock. His dwelling house was neatly ruin- ed; his barn torn to pieces ; his orchard destroyed ; his fences, hop house ond hop yard completely prostrated. We havo beard his loss estimated at sever or eight hun. dred dollars. Our citizens, with their accustomed libe rality, immediately repaired to the acencs of disaster, to aid in repairing damages as far as possible. We are hap- y to learn no lives were lost, or the person of any one injured in the least, although many were placed in very perilous situati One small building in which were three children, was completely thrown down. The chil drea were dug out of the ruins without so much as a scratch upon them, to the astonishment of all present. Three cows, belonging to Mrs. Cowan, were 80 com- pletely hedged in by fallen trees that it required several men nearly halfa ay to liberate them ; not one was in- jured in the least. Grain of all kinds, in the track of the tornado, is quite destroyed.—ranklin (Malone) Palla- dium. Ecvapor anp Perv.—We publish the tollowing interesting letter from an authentic source, says the Philadelphia Gazette of the 16th inst., relative to the dif- ficulties at present existing between the two South Ame- rican Republics of Ecuador and Peru. It was our good fortune to have been enabled, in tho paper of the Sth inat. to publisha letter received from our correspondent at Guayaquil, received via Panama and Havana, dated July Ist, in which not only were the disastrous incidents and eftects of this war described, but also the condition of the erop of, and trado iu, their great staple ofcocoa. We would refer to that letter in connection with this, which is subjoined:— Quito, June 19, 1815.—I write you these few hasty lines by way of Bogeta, as Don Viconti Cardenas, the new Grenadian Charge d’Affaires, sends off'a courier to- night with dispatches to his Government in Bogota.

Val- diviero and his Ministers, and troops, &c., evacuated last Saturday, 14th inst., and have gone to Rio Bamba, Gen. Flores, the President (Valdiviero was accidental Presi: dent), at last accounts was at Babahoga, near Guayaquil with fifteen hundred men, and warring against Guaya- quil. It is thought they will unite at Rio Banba, and comoup and try to retake this place. The opposition, or revolutionary party, i8 seid to be too strong, and many think General Flores will fall. The whole coun- try is in a state of civil war. Anarchy and confusicn pre- vails in every department, and God only knows when or where it will end, Yours, &c. Gen. Flores has since abdicated, and left the country. Sanpwicn istanps.—We have received a file of the Friend, published at Honolulu, Oahu, to the 16th of May last, inclusive. There had been a very severe fale at Lahaina, which compelled between thirty and forty of the whalers at anchor in the roudstead to put to sea, several of which received considerable damage. The Friend says the dana; estimated at between thirty and forty thousand dollars. The gale was also severe at Honolulu, but no damage was done there. aptain Halsey, of the Franklin, touched at Pitcairn’s Island on the 18tu January last.

Important Suggestions to Invalids—Is Cuba the Place for Consumption ?—Let us see. ‘The great migration of individuals from the Uni- ted States to this Island yearly, whose delicate state of health obliges them to seek more genial climes than their native land offers during thg winter sea- son, and the persuasion under whichshlatior of being of service to suffering humanity, and the in@trument, perhaps, of snatching from eternity many of my fel- low-creatures, has determined me to offer to them and you, the following remarks on a subject which has frequently struck me forcibly since my residenee in this Island, which no other motive but philanthro- py induces, and which consequently will, I trust, find room in a corner of your valuable paper, the ob- Ject being, I hope, a sufficient recommendation, though set forth in familiar language and unaccom- panied by any personal knowledge of their author. Ihave opened this article by allusion to the fact that a great number of persons annually visit Cuba in hopes of finding a cure in its comparatively mild climate, for the pulmonary diseases under which they all suffer more or less, or otherwise to pass a season of the year, which, did they remain athome, would cause imminent risk to their lives. Many, it is true, find alleviation in these visits, and some, but alas! of this number very few, ever return to their desponding family and friends. But though this climate, compared with the winter of the north, is of course mild, it possesses unfortunately qualities which make it far from being a desirable abode for invalids: namely, the raw, penetrating, cutting, cold northers, and the {general humidity of the atmos- phere—qualities, which but for the rare cases of ef- fected cures, and the hope which never deserts humani- ty of prolonged life, joined to thefproximity of this Island to the Unite: Stat and the having triends or acquaint- ity of making them in almost all its large cities, , 1am convinced, deter the multitude from venturing. ‘The tide, however, running this way, (a consequence of the above circumstances) and no other spot having been, to my knowledge, pointed out for the salvation of the worn out invalid, none other is now ever thougat of ; though the undeniable and melancholy fact that hundreds, nay thousands, of the natives of Cuba, an- nuaily succumb to the fatal disease of consumption in all its ramifications, and that it is the night-mare which haunts all cla: were it, perhaps, known on the other side, would detract much from the confidence with which lost health is sought after here, and speaks volumes in favor of my object. But | am not so cruel as to dissipate the illusion which constitutes that confidence, without indicating where it may be revived in a tenfold degree, and I most unhes: atingly give it as my intimate convi tion shat whoever will hearken to my advice, founded not on medicine, but on physical facts which 1 have closely observed, and from which I have drawn my con- clusions, having the great book of nature for my muster, will bless the memory of him on whose suggestion he acted. ‘ nave now spent five years in this country, having left Curthagena, New Granada, in 1340, where I resided up- wars of fourteen years—years of unalloyed happivess— and it is thither [would ‘recommend persons afllicted with pulmonary complaints to go—people n nor hint at, such a thing as consumption th not exaggerate when I say that during the 1 my residence, | really cannot bri dozen fatal cases of it, and of t! » two of almost aged individuals. .

And now that communication by steam is about being eflected between that port and New York, the dis- tance will be much reduced, though this never can, or ought, to be an objection when five regular packet brigs, well commanded, trade between these ports, and gener. ally make the run within twenty days.

Nothing can be more charming, more invigorating, more balmy, than this spot and its atmosphere. Tho road to it on one of the ambling horses of the country canbe got over without any fa- tigue whatever intwo hours. ‘This trip is of itself'a re- creation—the total difference to the travelling in Europe or the States—the picturesque beauty of the scenery— the rich foliage, and the fragrance of innumerable wild llowers—the endless variety of beautiful birds, (which one never sees in Cuba, strange!) —the squirrels, deer, ond foxes that frequently cross the path,carry away the traveller's feelings from the contemplation of his mala- cies, and create a reaction in his paysical man, which stem—then the hospitality, honesty and cheapness which are characteristic of the country—and to complete the whole, it would appear that ali the foreigners established there’ (at Carthagena) have left the dark shades of their characters behind them nud display nothing but kindness and good feelings to- wards each other, and the natives.

The usual half monthly meeting of the Farmers’ Club was held yesterday, but there were not as many present as en former occasions. General Cuanoten, on taking the chair, by desire of the meeting, observed, that if their numbers were smaller than they ought, it was in part because notice was not given of it, it boing the last meeting they should hold before the fair. Co}. Cranx intimated that be had an appointment which would make his departure necessary. Before he went he desired to bring to their notice a source of in* jury which he had observed to the tomato. ral’ very vigorous ones in bis garden, o: which one morning he observed the plant att immense worm, and a number of eggs deposited, from which he believed the progeny sprung. If so, it was | practicable to prevent the ravages of the enemy by the estruction of the ove. [The worm and eggs were ex- hibited ; the latter were as large as No, 2 shot, white and oblong; the insect was alive, and a most ferocious looking creature, fully three inches long, of a dark brown, and a capaci mouth, with which it was tear- ing the leaves within its reach.} The Citarnman suggested the propriety of postponing the discussion of the appointed topic, on account of the thin attendance. Mr, Meras said that he had met with an interesting ar- ticle ina newspaper, which might serve a good purpose to read, and bea substitute for their stated discussion. The extract was read, containing a sketch of the pro- ceedings of the “ Society for the promotion and improve- ment of the growth of flax in Ireland.” The meeting was held at Belfast, and was well attended. Its receipts since their preceding meeting held shortly before were £1000 58. A letter was read from a gentlemen in the County Derry, bearing testimony to the profitable na- ture of the flax crop. “Thad,” he says, “ sown last | spring not quite eight acres of flax, from which | had 295 stones, which brought in the Cookstown market 8s. per stone, and 31 stones at 6s., besides 4} ewt. of scutching- tow at 9s. per cwt, making £129 6s, 6d., or above £16 peracre.” He adds that the seed saved at home from that crop promised better than the Riga seed, which is the most esteemed of the imported seeds. Mr. Mrias added, after readizg the extract above no ticed, that for a long time the impression prevailed in Europe that flax could not be spun by machinery, but this has been removed. A series of scientific observa- tions having been made by a French gentleman, with the aid of the microscope, he found that flax was’ com- posed of fibres interlaced and adhering closely together, about three inches long, and that by detaching these fibres from each other, the material was rendered as sus- ceptible of being spun into yarn, as either cotton or wool. He believed, that although the machinery was not yet completed, it would be, and he regarded the sub- ject’ as well worthy the attention of Gur own peo- ple. Whenever flax spinning was brought to the highest possible state of perfection, and the present objections removed, there would be a new era of manufacturing in the world. He believed that the consumption of linen would be vast, if it was made as cheap as it might. Say what they might about cotton, it was only its cheapness that made its use universal, and if linen were reduced, as it would yet be, no man would wear a cotton shirt, or lie between cotton sheets, while they could get linen on moderate terms. He thought the American Institute ought to give the matter its attention, and encourage, as far as in their power, the culture of flax in this country. Mr. Waicurman observed, that during the last war,he and a few others, were for some years engaged in bring- ing machinery to perfection for the manuiacture of flax. All theycould do the little fibres would stick out in spin- ning, and the thread present an unfinished eppearance, and it was to get over this they were so anxious. He thought that they might have succeeded, but the war ended, and the bounty was taken off, thereby causing a large importation of foreign linen, ‘and so they had to r project. He thought that if linen had as strong a protection as cotton, it would become as com- mon made and used. The want of protection effectually | prevented this: and the quantity of flaxseed even raised now, was dwindled away, and suede | like what it was 70 years ago. ‘Then, there were very large quantities of flaxseed shipped to Ireland; now, there is comparatively little. What we want to bring the trade up again, is pro- tection hike that given to cotton. The Cnarsan here asked if any other person had any remarks to make on Flax, but no reply being given, the mubject dropped. Mr. Wigan then announced that the committee had nearly finished their arrangements for the annual'Fair,and he thought it best to inform them, that October Ist, 2d, and 3d were named as the three days for receiving 1 cles for exhibition. There weuld be during the Fi term, avariety of addresses; among othe Hon. George Lunt, of Massachusetts, on Ag: the 9th; and the annual address on the 17th, by the Hon T. D. Eliot, of Mass.

In addition to all ik Convention will sit, and throw light oa the , and an uncommon display of fireworks will enlighten all that is interesting in the city. Mr. Meics here presented a monster apple from the orchard of Mr. Daniel McKee, Hamilton, Upper Canada, and read an accompanying letter. This fine fruit mea- sured 19 inches in circumferance, and weighed nearly 20 ounces. It is generally considered larger than that whose fall suggested to Newton the existence of the law of gravitation, and more comely to the eye than that which grew in the garden of Eden in days of yore. Some’ magnificent specimens of grapes from the gar- den of Mr. C. M. Graham, 115th street, were also shown Mr. Graham made some useful observations on the best mode of cultivating this fruit, on pruning and various | other topics. He had raised those grapes from the well known Isabella seed, and had been seven years in bring- ing them to their present perfection. The improvement would be manifest, by comparing the improved, with the original fruit, and testing the flavor. Ethe club, in order to do full justice to Mr. G. and his grapes, demol- ished afew luxuriant clusters, and pronounced unani mously, that they were not to be surpassed.] Mr. Gaauam proceeded a little farther, and apprized the club of a curious horticultural fact ; ‘which was this —In his garden he had planted some squashes, and within ahundred yards of them, mock oranges, and emong the latter he Was surprised to find lately a production of a hybrid kind, partaking of the appearances of both.

A Norortovs Bank Rosser Trarrrp.—-For sometime past the police of this, and other cities, have been on the qui vive for a notorious Bank robber, named Charles D’Delpit, inconsequence of a heavy re- ward having been offered for his apprebension He, however, bafiled all their powers to catch him, until Saturday last, when he felt a prey toa well devised scheme, perfected by Mayor McCall, and is now a pri- soner. It appears, from what we can learn respecting him, that he was one of the most adroit forgers that ever came to this country, and no doubt he could a tale unfold that would show up in all its enormity the in- famous scheme of the stool pigeon system of the police, 's adopted in many of the large cities of the Union. He stands charged with having robbed a Bank in Virginia and one in New Orleans, aad perpetrated a number of forgeries not only in those, but other cities, in different parts of the United States. He was supposed to have had several accomplices in the nefarious business, which supposition turned out to be correct,and which in reality led to his devection. About two months ago, a French- man, named E. Vill, was arrested on the charge of forg- ing a check on the Bank of North America, and com mitted to prison. It was supposed that Vill acted in cou- junction with D’Delpit, in consequence of the latter call- ing to the prison to see him. In the meantime, his Honer, the Mayor of the city, learned that D'Delpit was an accomplice, and then placed a warrant into the hands of Mr. Haines, the keeper of the prison, with instructions, that in case D*Delpit should come. there again, to arresthim. From that time upto Saturday, the Police of this city, New York, Baltimore and Washington City, were on the alert, but never saw the man, They had travelled according to theirown showing from city to city ; had corresponded with each other, but strange to relate, the notorious forger could not be arrested. What acommentary upon the vigilance of the Police? On Saturday last, however, a cab stopped in front of the prison, [rom which a decently dressed man alighted. He gained an entrance to the prison; and enquired to see Mr. Vill, Mr. Haines recognized him to be D'Dulpit, and from certain significant actions, the man evidently became very uncasy. He spoke broken English, with French accent, and swore vehemently that he must be let out The keep # expressail an unwillingness to let him out, and the robber became quite indignant, and at His ravings, cursings and vehement excit Stronger opposition on the part of Mr. Haines and other officers. ‘The latter determined upon searching him—he refused, but at length yielded to their pressing demands. Upon his person five sovereigns and a wallet containing small notes on iferent banks, in New York, ana some “valuable | papers” were found. At length his boots were pulled off, the first one of which was found to contain a letter written in the French language, giving important infor- mation. Inthe other boot was found a letter containing nd anumber of forged papers is in New York city. He was laced in the cab that brought him down to prison and soon landed at the Mayor's Office, where he had a private hearing. He was afterwards committed to prison, where he remains. Thus it will be seen, that by a scheme of the pace, himself, independent of his vigilant and “‘ anti-stool pigeon” police, one of the most adroit thieves has been ar id. He is a regular Monroe Edwards, and the thou jars reward, ofiered by the Bank ef Virginia for his apprehension, will {all into the hands of Mr. Haines and the Mayor. D'Del; ubt- less has been pretty well plucked, and is no inger to the “tip” so often made wse of by the intriguing members of the police who infest this city. Phia. Sun, Sept. 16.

After such a sum- mer as we have passed through, it is certainly delightful to be able now to “run and not be weary, to walk and t faint,” or sweat. w Burtoixcs.—Grace Cucren.—There are now in process of erection, many new public buildings, which will, when completed, be far superior to any we have in the city. We yesterday paid a visit to Grace Church, now being erected at the corner of Broadway and Tenth street. This church is built by the society who formerly worshipped in Old Grace Church, on Broadwvy, the wealthiest and most fashionable church in the city. The material is white marble, the style of archi- tecture, the Gothic, and the form, that of a cross. The workmanship is remarkably neat, the situa- tion a commanding one, as the church can be seen from the lower erd of Broadway. The height of the tower will be 212 feet, the inner length from the tower to the back of the chancel, 147 feet, and the width across the chancel, 75 feet. It was commenced about three years ego, and itis the intention to have it dedi- cated on the ensuing Christmas. The cost of the build- ing will be about $200,000. Mr. Betrow’s Cuvacn.—There is a church being erected on Broadway, betwoon Spring and Prince streets by the Unitarian society who tormerly worshipped in Chambers street, under the charge of the Rev. Mr. Bel- Tows, one of the most popular Unitarian clergymen, and a man of great literary attainments. ‘This building is small, and will not presenta showy appearance, but will be distinguished for its neatness. The front is of brown freestone. It is castellated, and over the entrance two small crosses are carved out of the stone work. The building will probably be completed this fall. New Avetion Srone.—We yesterday made one of a very numerous party, who visited the new store, lately erected by Mr J. MeCullow the gentleman who has become famous in New York, for his lead works and shot towers; and among all the great number of splendid buildings that have been erected lately in New York, this certainly is one of the most spacious and commodi- ous, It is situated at the corner of Maiden Lane and Front street, and has a front of fifty-five feet on Front t,and seventy-four feet deep. The lower story with brown stone, and the remainder of the buil ing is of brick, the roof is of tin, and a handsome sky- light adorns the upper story, which is to be devoted to a public sales room, for the ‘accommodation of grecers and others, who congregate at the large auction sales that are made, from time to time, of tea, coffee, fruits, &e., and from the appearance of this room, we should judge that, hereafter, it will be the auction room of the city. It is seventeen teet from floer to ceiling, and ex- tends over the whole length, depth and breadth of the store. The lower story is'to be occupied by Mr. Cullongh, for his own business—the second is divided off into most convenient offices—the third is to be let out for purposes of storage, &c., and the fourth, as has al- been said, is to be an auction room. ‘e opening of this splendid store was celebrated yes- terday by amost sumptuous entertainment, to which all, We may in truth say all, the merchants in the line of business to which this room is to be devoted, for certain- ly more than six hundred were entertained by him with all the delicacies of the season. Mr. Delmonico furnish- ed the whole of the eatables and drinkables, and the posse of waiters were from the establishment of Down- ing. Anumber of most excellent speeches and toasts were given inthe course of the afternoon, and many a happy repartee and sparkling 6on mot enlivened the ex- cellent wine and segars that were supplied in the great- est profusion. ‘The wholesale auctioneers] of New York m the course of a year, dispose of an immense amount of goods, in fact, a great number of articles are altogether sold out of first hands by means of the auctioneer, and the re- turns of auction duties will give some insight into the immense amount that they reach in a year, whenit is re- membered that these duties only are paid on certain ar- ticles of foreign manufacture, and coming from beyond the seas, while quite a number of articles are exempt from any duty. The amount of duties on auction sales, paid by auctioneers in the city of New York, for the year ending 30th September, 1644, was $172,013 48—ef Which sum one firm alone paid $33,901 83; and five other firms paid each sums varying from $13,000 to $21,- 000—and eleven other firms sums varying each from $1000 to 9000, From the year 1810 to the year 1339 the sales at auction in the Stateot New York amounted to $552,114,452. ‘These few statistics will give some little idea of the immense importance of the wholesale auc- tion business. The splendor of their now establishment, therefore, is quite on a par with their merits, and we dis: miss this article with a hope that Mr. McCullough may long enjoy his splendid store. Usion Racket Counr.—This is a building on Broad. way, a few doors above Niblo’s Garden. It is a large | building, with a brown freestone front, which, when completed, will be one of the finest in the cit It is built under the control of a committee of gentlemen of this city, of the first wealth and respectability, and is to be devoted especially to the purpose of playing the manly game of rackets. The club who will use it is composed of merchants and.men of wealth. The building is 120 feet long, 33 feet wide, and 50 feet high, being lighted from the top by eight skylights. ‘The building will cost about There is anold racket court in Allen street which was built in 1802, and occupied by a club which contained many of the members which will now compose the new ene. ‘The game of Rackets is very popular in England, and is there patronized by the nobility and gentry. ut little known in this country. It is an exercise calculated to develope all the physical power of man. ‘This new court wili be ready for use about the first of January next. A Minacre.—In this age of deviations from the paths of virtue and honesty, it is pleasing to be able to record instances which prove that some of the pure essence is ill remaining. On Monday evening, Mrs. Jacob W, Tripp, who had ridden out to Manhattunville, left, by ac- cident, her purse containing a considerable stm of money in the stage. ‘The next morning it was returned by the driver, he having made enquiries and found the owner. The driver's name was John Brimington, driving the Manhattanville stage for Benjamin Meore. He certainly Letters were read from Dr. Underhill on wheat; from | deserves credit for his honesty. DistRessinc.—On Monday afternoon, Mr. Jaques Har- dy,a French gentleman, residing at 82 Broadway, with his wife and a youug lady, tooka short excursion down to Staten Island. While standing on the bank at the Fort aear the Narrows, Mr. Hardy leit his wife to take a bath in the bay, only a few rous trom where they stood. He had waded inbutafew ieet when he screamed out that he was sinking ; his wife rushed in, but he sunk before she could reach him, and indeed she had but a narrow escape to save her own life. She—in a moment, made a widow—left the ground ia the greatest grief, and return- ed home inthe lastboat, About an hour after, his body was recovered, and taken to the Retreat Hospital, where every effort was made by Drs, Anderson, Boyd, and Boardman to restore him to life, but the vital spark had fled. His corpse was brought to this city this morning. He was about 25 years old, came from Paris about eight months since, and was not engaged in any busine Jorrre—M.

She is to be a night boat, and will resume her trips in the course of two or three weeks. Miscse: or tie Avosrrorne.—Some of our sign paint- ers, bill writers, anu even editors, lately, make most hor- rible work in the use of the apostrophe. Plurals are now very often converted, by these careless writers, in- to possessive cai thereby entirely destroying the sense. Vassing up the Bowery, yesterday respectable grecer’s sign, “Family's Sup Coffee and Sugar’s;” and we very often see “ Spice’ “ Segar’s,” and others of the kmd. And now we have beture us adaily paper, which states that “the Kean’s commenced an engagement in Philadelphia on Monday mght.” This must be sheer carelessness. There is a rule for the use of the apostrophe, which guide, will never fail in teaching its proper us be used only when the noun or pronoun w used, is in the possessive case, or it is intended to su; ply tue place of some letter or letters omitted. It should never be used in connection with a mere plural. CuLrasiy.—Y esterday afternoon, a horse seen capering about in Broadway between Franklin and White streets, entirely free from any harness. He ca- pered treet and ho capered on the side walk, greatly to the amusement of a number of loafers and ne- nd greatly to the frightening of a large number of ladies, Who rau into the shops in great terror. We understand that this horse belongs to a stable near there and that it is the custom of his keeper to take him from the stable to water, entirely tree from harness, and that this is the third time he has made his appearance in Broadway. If his owner does not stop this game, the oflicers ought to. Board of Supervisors. Dr, Reese—'The Board held an adjourned meeting last evening, the Recorder inthe chair.

The present- ment on this subject was sent to the Common Council on Monday evening, and referred to an appropriate com- mittee. Aw Inropent Tuxrr.— Yesterday afternoon, a man was observed, by a passenger on board one of the Ful- ton ferry boats, faking away a cushion and lamp belong- ing to the Company. He was immediately seized, and conducted to the Police, whence he was sent to prison.— ‘The theft was the more bold and daring, as the fellow could not possibly have taken the property off without | passing by at least three or tour persons connected with | the boat. Summary Eseorment.—The landlord of one of the best conducted and most popular hotels in Brooklyn, who had for a long time been annoyed by the unwelcome vis- its of several blackguards connected with one or more of the gangs which still continue to meet at the corners of various streets, (for the purpose of insulting females, and for other nefarious objects) gave the fellows notice, that on the next occasion of their troubling him, he would apply a stout cowhide to their backs. They laugh- ed at his threats, and defied him; but they found out, to their sorrow, that he was equally prompt as courageous in the fulfilment of his promises, as he subsequently gave to one of the party such a thorough scourging,that hone of the rest have since ventured to cross his threshhold. A prosecution for assault and battery was, however, threatened, but as yet no complaint has been made at the Police Office. 5 Ruxaway Ho —On Saturday evening, a young and valuable horse, belonging to Caleb Smith & Co., of Wa- ter street, took fright while standing in front of their store, and ran up Fulton street ina most furious man- ner, to the great danger of several persons who were passing along. The animal was so much injured by run- ning in contact with a cart, that it had to be destroyed. A similar occurrence took place yesterday, in which a horse belonging to an ice company took fright; without, however, doing much harm. ‘ ‘Warp Meetinas.—The democratic this evening, pose of appointing delegates to meet in conven- tion. ‘The time has been—even up toa very recent pe riod—when two or three family cliques have controlled the political destinies of Kings county, and have man aged to obtain for themselves, and their immediate rela- tives and friends, the best and most lucrative offices in the gift of the ‘dear people,” through their representa- tives inthe Common Council, or by their plotting and management in Albany. It is now believed, however, that the influence which these cliques have wielded, for their own especial aggrandisement and gain, has depart ed for ever. Potice: Irems.—A man named Joseph 8. Howes, who had been arrested in Philadelphia, was brought before the magistrates on a charge of grand larceny, preferred by Dr. H. A. Stowe, of the U.S. Hospital.

It appeared that McFarlane purchased a quantity of cheese from defendant, which he intended ior shipment to England; and by the terms of sale, the article was to be paid for between the Ist and 4th of May. The broker who conducted the sale, hereupon called upon McFarlane for payment, when he (McFarlane) re- quired afew days further time, for accommodation, in order to raise money on certain bill xchange,which it was alleged he intended to draw ee the snipment. It was subsequently agreed, that McFarlane should give his check on the Merchants’ Bank, to be dated on the 6th and made payable on the 10th May, which check was marked memorandum. On the day the check became due, it appeared plaiatiff sent his clerk to McF., who ex- changed this check for another, which, being presented atthe bank, the word ‘‘ memorandum” not being written on it, was duly paid to bearer, though, as it appeared from the evidence, McFarlane’s account had been clear- ed for nearly six months. k was paid, it appeared the broker called on McF., and delivered to him a set of bills of exchange, on the house in England to whom the cheese was consigned; but finding that the check was paid by the bank, returned the bills to McF. It was contended, on the part of the defence, that the check was not a memorandum check; and that if the bank paid it in error, they were bound to look to McFar- lane for the recovery, and not from defendant.
