ERALD. | NEW YORK H New York, Friday, September 19, 1845. _———————————————————— THE GREAT AGRICULTURAL FAIR AT UTICA, SPLENDIDLY ILLUSTRATED WEEKLY HERALD. The Weekly Herald will be issued at eight o’cleck | to-inorrow morning. i It will be beautifully illustrated with three superb | engravings, representing a grand view of the State Agricultural Fair at Utica—a spirited Ploughing Match—and the famous “ breed” of Cattle, which | probably obtained the prize. } This number of the Weekly will be very valuable | to farmers in al} parts of the country. Steam Ship Britannia. This steamer is now over due. She is in her | fifteenth day. The State Election. Jt is full time for the people to awake to the impor- | tance of the comingelection in this State. In an espe- | cial manner are the leaders of the people— | all who influence public opinion as politicians, jour- | rulists and others, called upon to active exertion | against the disorganizing and destructive elements which are now at work in all directions, and under | covert ofa call ofa State Convention, seek the over- throw of all existing social and political institu- | All the philosophers—disturbers of the public | yeace—infidels—agrarians—every one who enter- | tains unsettled notions of right and wrong—every | one who is opposed xo the rights of property and | the present system of society, government and re- ligion, are orgamizing and coalescing in favor of calling a Convention, which wi.l be the commence- ment ofa new series of events that may afiect the prosperity and reputation of this country for cen- | turies hereafter; and whilst the revolutionists are ; busy in every county in the State, agitating in every possible way, uniting their forces for the destruc- tion of the rghts of property, and the sentiments | entertained of truth, religion and revelation, the | there probably numberm:, alread: five thousand, and in less than two years it will amount to | ; between ten and twenty thousand.

We hear also | from Washington that it is the opinion of the ad- ministration, that Congress cannot refuse the ad- mission of such a delegate; and the entrance of such a delegate: from Oregon into the House of Rep- resentatives, will be the signal for another move- ment in favor caf a law organizing the whole of the Oregon countr y, down to the Russian line, into a territory of the United States. We have not the in the west—fr om the intelligence we have received from Oregon— trom the intimations of the adminis- tration—and from the temper in which the new Congress will meet at Washington, that an act will | be passed cree.ting the whole of the Oregon intoa United States Territory, whether England likes it or net. Thus it will de seen, according to the best intelli- gence which w’e can procure from Texas, Mexico and Oregon, that the movements of this republic, in the extension of herlimits, cannot be stopped, —cannot be impeded—and are proceeding with an accelerated rapidity, beyond all an- ticipation. These movements are the result of the impulses of independent men—men who are their own masters, ard in process of time, and very shortly, too, we have no doubt that Oregon and California, and some of the northern States of Mexi- co will be all united to this confederacy—that a high- way, perhaps « railroad, will be constructed across the passes of the Rocky mountains, traversing Ore~ gon to the shores of the Pacific, and a communica- tion be opened with China, which will change the | commercial character of the whole world. These movements may, 1n a short time, bring us into coi- lision with France and England, under the present form of their governments. Butw e have an ele” ment of power in our hands—physical and commer- cial—which will effectually set narrow limits to their hostility, and crush their impertinent inter- ference. Hrenty bovorranr rrom Orecon.—We have received several very highly interesting letters ' Theatricals. Panw Tnarre.—The second character in which Miss attained the expectations that were entertained of her, she surpassed them as Cenerentola. This part, although lesa calculated for the display ofa brilliant vocalization, yet offers considerably more difficulties, and the musician, | like manner with which she overcame them is, there. fore, entitled to much praise. The omission of the bi tifa! andante inthe finale, isto be regretted, and we re- ally do not know why this unwerrantable liberty has been taken, but she made some amends by her capital singing of the allegretto, which was received with great applause. She unquestionably possesses one of the most beautiful voices that ever has gratified the ears of our | slightest doubt, from the movements now going on New York dilettanti, and she uses it ina manner that | is highly creditable to her musical education. iss Deloy only made her appearance on the stage a few months ago, sho is, therefore, not yet finish. od, but there are few debutantes who offer a greater promise of future excellency than she does. Mr. Gard- ner’s part is not a very showy one; he made of it the most he could; he wants a little more confidence, and his pleasing, although weak voice, would come out to much greater advantage Mr. Brough’s Dandini was bet- ter than his Rodolpho, and his acting appeared to afford some merriment to part of the audience. Of the other persons employed in it we cannot say much good: do not properly belong to the operatic cor, therefore not be hypercritical with their singing, but the vulgarity of their acting,the miserable lazzi’s with which they inter-persed it, cannot too strongly be condemned We were pleased to see that the more refined part of the audience, treated them with that silent contemp! which was their due, for the applause they reaped, came (as every blessing.) from above. The choius and orches- tra could have been a great deal better, although we are not ignorant of Sin pipet ditlculties which interfere with the organization of the rebellious individuals who are their ccmposing elements. Mr. Lacy certainly is no novice in tl rtof leading, but we cannot deny that it is Sometimes an extraordinary specimen of chapelmasfer- ship; it really often degenerates into simply marking the rhythm. He keeps looking, moreover, on the instrumen- talists who happen to take a leading part ina passage, which imparts an appearance of affectation to his leading The house was crowded. Bowery TuHeatae.—Last Knowles’ tragedy of Virginius—Mr. Hamblin enacting the Roman father. He supported the character admira- bly, and throughout the whole play his beautiful con- ception of the part was evident. Inthe scene before the Forum, where he finds all hope deserts him, and he begs afew moments private conversation with his child before he delivers her up to the lust of the tyrant Appius, his by play was one of the most beautiful performances that we have ever witnessed. The workings of his mind while nerving himself to do the dreadful deed, while he is, at it were, debating with himself as to whether he night was performed friends of good order and common sense are per- | from various correspondents in Oregon terri- Shall go the extreme lengths his proud spirit prompts fectly silent—inactive—paralyzed. Is it not time to awake from this lethargic indifference ? Is it not time for the people of this city and State to awaken to a sense of their position?) Whatare the independent journalsts— | what are the influential conductors of the great politeal organs doing? Editors and proprietors of | the newspaper press are the permanent policemen of social and religious order, and they ought at once | tobe upand doing at this eventful crisis.

Bur- i ments that'took place towards Oregon from Missouri some year or so ago, one of which describing the route and the various curiosities, dangers and diffi- | culties that they underwent in their journey thither. These letters are of great interest, as they show the true state of the route, many exaggerated and ro- mantic accounts of which have been given from time to time. But we have still more important and later news, reality of the dangers which are now threatening all | which we have obtained from a private source, and the venerable and common sense insti.utions of 80- | which puts quite a new face on matters concerning | ciety, assailed as they arein all directions by the | the territory of Oregon, a matter which has caused him to, were given with fearful truthfulness. We com- pletely forgot that we wore sitting in a theatre, and wit- nessing a mimic representation, and for the time fancied that the terrible scene before us was reality. His exclama- tion to Appius to ‘take her” when he had done the deed, and his subsequent exit were terribly real. The scene in the prison where Appius meets with such terrible re- tribucion from the hands of the injured father, was also beautifully done. Mr. Hamblin is undoubtedly an ex- cellent tragedian—one of the best that has trod the stage for years. [He was well supported by Mr. Davenport as Icilius, Henkins as Appius, Sutherland and Milner as Claudius and Dentatus—nor must we forget Mrs. Phil- lips?

This South Pass is t e most important point on the whole route; here the rivers that respectively empty | | themselves into the Atlantic and Pacific, take their | rise; in fact they almost interlock one another.

Otymrrc.—The laughable farce of “ Mr. and Mrs. Cau- dle” is drawing good houses at this little bijou of a thea- tre. now menace society. Revarions.—The relations of the United States with foreign countries, are in the most interesting and critical condition. We have just escaped a war with Mexico, in con- sequence of the imbecility and weakness and want of all government in that republic. Our latest accounts trom that quarter, represent Mexico as in the most deplorable condition, utterly unable to establish any permanent plan of government.— Two of the States are in open rebellion against the central authority. Insurrection and revolution are threatened on every hand. The central power is completely paralyzed, and a total and universal de- moralization in all the elements of society and go- vernment, would seem to indicate the approach of some extraordinary change in the position and movements of the country. There is no danger, then, to be apprehended trom Mexico on account of the annexation of Texas. Neither 1s it at all probable that England and France will interfere and bring upon themselves the hostili- ty of this country. Indeed, our last and private ac- counts from Texas and Mexico are of the most ex- Ovr Foreign | ; without reference to the mere apology for a govern- | ment that has been established there by the Hud- | | son’s Bay Company, and that there were no less | than four candidates for the office ofGovernor. As the number of settlers already outnumbers that of the Hudson Bay Company’s employees, it is, of course, natural to suppose that this matter would be carried through without opposition ; and the fur ther private advices that we have received, put us in possession of the fact that, not only would this certainly be done, but that, by the vote of the ma- jority, a delegate would be despatched from Oregon with the necessary documents to claim a seat in the United States House of Representatives at Wash- ington ; and, furthermore, we have it, from an un- doubted source, that that delegate will be received and recognized as a member of the House. Thus, on the assembling of Congress, we shall doubtless have the whole matter of Oregon, and our right to it, brought in a fair and straightforward manner be- fore the people. The bill of last year notifying Eng land that the year’s notice agreed upon between the two governments, prior to either of them taking pos- session of Oregon, was then given, which passed | Oratorio at tHe Tapernactr.—Quite an amusing rivalry has recently sprung up between the “Sacred Mu- sic Society” and a new association of musical amateurs, who have been organized by Henry Meigs, Esq. the late Secretary of the former body of melody, scena came off last night, at the Tabernacle, inthe pro- duction of the “Seven Sleepers.” We have never seen the Tabernacle so densely crowded since the night when Mr. Braham first appeared on his last visit to this country, and at ast three thousand tickets must have been dispcsed of altogether. ‘The Seven Sleepers, by Loewe, is a work of undispu- table greatness, of which want of space prevents us from speaking more diffusely. The solos were given with much refed and Mrs. E. Loder and Mrs. De Luce were particularly happy im enchaining the atten: tion of the audience, who bestowed the warmest applause upon their performance. The chorus was admirably drilled, and the orchestra was one of the best we have everheard. Mr. Loder certainly has a strong clai upon the gratitude of all the lovers of classical music, for this is the second great work he has brought out in the course of the year, and both on his own hook and un- der his sole superintendence, which, we need not say, was visible in the superiority of the manner with which they were executed over those brought out by any- body else. Tue Swiss Bet. Reivceas.—These artists will give their last Concert this evening at the Rutger’s Institute. They will perform all of the best aud latest compositions, and will be assisted b: iss Caroline Hiffert, the popular vocalist. As this iv the last concert they give, perhaps, the House of Representatives, but rejected by the for sometime, our up town friends had better avail them- traordinary character, and lead us to believe that in | consequence of the want of goverament, and the ab- sence of all adequate protection to civil society, which for a series of years have marked the history | of the border States on the other side of the Rio | Grande, they may very soon seek admission | into this confederacy. It is not at all improbable that New Mexico, for instance, and California, will vend commissioners to our Congress in a year or two, and ask admission into this Union, for the pur- pose of securing a stable and permanent govern- ment, and protection of their religion, property and civil institutions. We have no doubt that there are vast numbers of citizens in the Northern States of Mexico who would gladly umite with this goveri Senate, will assuredly be again brought forward by this new delegate, and from the tone that has been exhibited lately throughout the Union, regarding the accession of territory, its ultimate end may be easily foretold. Things on this side of the Atlantic are thus com- ing rapidly to a crisis. The people of the United States are not famous for long diplomatic corres- pondences, negotiations, embassies and the vari- ous methods of modern diplomacy. With them as has been seen in the matter of Texas to say is to do, and the next session of Congress with Mr. Polk at the head of the administration will have a lasting influence on the future fortunes of Oregon and the selves of this chance. Hackett is at Baltimore at the Front street Theatre ; at the Holiday street J. Wallack, jr. and his wife, are starring it. The souri Fire Company took a benefit at the St. Louis Theatre, on the 10th inst. Mr. Harry P. Grattan has returne to this city, Arrair or Honor in Watt Street.—We under stand that an affair of honor, growing out of a re- cent fracas, is about to take place between a distin guished financier in Wall street, and one of the fash- ionable young men about town. The parties in question, some two or three years ago, had a hos- tle meeting, and one of them was severely wound- ed. Jt is now eaid that a singular and unfortunate western boundaries. Such is the state of affairs at | rencontre took place at Burnham’s, or some. other ment in order to secure the blessings of stable go- | vernment, and we should be not at all surprised to hear them apply to us before a year has passed away. This new and interesting prospect so far as re- gards our relations with Mexico, and may lead toreign powers and foreign journals to fresh denun- ciations of the principles, morals, progress and policy of the United States. They accuse us of robbery of Texas. How much more violently would they belch torth their opprobious epithets, if several of the Northern States of Mexico, including Califor- nia, were to ask to be annexed in the same way, for the purpose of securing to themselves stable govern- ment? And have not the people of those States a perfect right, in their popular and sovereign capacity, to unite with that country and government from which they would derive the best security to their persons, property, religion, and social institutions? Such are our relations with Mexico. But our re; ‘ations witn England are approaching anew crisis, ida very important one. We refer particularly ro the recent intelligence received from the Oregon cerritory and the progress there making by the Ame- rican emigrants in that new and remarkable field of enterprise and advancing civilization. It appears that already the American emigrants in Oregon far outnumber those connected with the Hudson Bay Company, and who are governed in some measure by the laws of England. The American population | present, what all this will end in, time will show. | There is one thing that can be depended on, which 18, that our just rights and territories will be main- tained without flinching despite the combined forces ot the whole world. Peytoxa axp Fasnion—An INDEPENDENT Sport- ING JouRNAL.—We give in another column a com- Munieation which was sent to the Spiritof the Times of this city, but which was refused 4 publication in that paper. We give it a place in the Herald because we think that there ought to be the strictest imparti- ality in all affairs connected with the turf. It was thought when the Times was first iseued that the sporting world would have a paper devoted to its interests, and one on which all could implicit. ly rely for accurate and unbiassed reports of races Allthis high expectation and hope, however,has now ceased to exist, we are told, in the minds of many of those interested in the sports of the race course, is supposed that a northern clique of sportsmen have control of the columns of the Times, and hence the in to-day’s paper. ‘There is evidently room for an impartial sporting journal inthiscity.

The | whirling and dashing ol tne soray at the suriace of the | lake, says the Plain Dealer, the column of water and | mist rising ina tall and tortuous line to the cloud, were so very plain and well-delinested characteristics of a ter-spout, as tv Cause every one who was £0 fortunate as to witness it, to exclaim with admiration and astonis! | ment. It continued about five or seven minutes, when the nor’-wester triumphed, and swept the cloud away to outh-east of the city.

Very Quick Passage from China—Terrible Fire and Loss of Life in Canton—Progress of Religion amoug the Celestials. The Rainbow, Capt. Land, arrived yesterday af- ternoon, in a very short passage from Cantun. She sailed thence on the Sth of June. This ship is as splendid as the rainbow, and it was her beauty that probably induced her owners to | give her the name she bears. | She hasmade her voyage out and back in seven months and seventeen days, notwithstanding she lost her top-gallant masts, and nearly foundered four days after leaving New York, being out of season | upand down the China sea. On her return she also experienced a very severe gale off the Cape of | Good Hope, in which she so much shattered her | sails, the only suit she had, that it required ten days and nights to repair and replace them. The foreigners at Canton are trying to amuse themselves, sailing and rowing their boats, and were to have a concert by a professional man. Ad- mittance three dollars a head. A Chinese theatre in Canton was burnt about 25th May, and a countless number of lives lost—upwards of one thousand were killed and wounded. We refer to the extracts. | The cropshad ceased coming to market. Teas | were scarce, but there was nodemand. Business was dull. ‘The American frigate Constitution, Capt. Perci- | val was going into Macao on the 5th of June. [From Friend of Chi 21 We hear irom Canton that the Chinese are busy build- ing boats, of the usual construction of such craft, on pur- pose to carry on the opium trade as formerly, when the ships lay at Lintin. Inthe mean time, opium is carried up the river in Mandarin boats, with the Mandarins flag flying ut the mast head. It is said that some new arrange- ments have been made with the autnorities, and now the | drug is landed openly in bags immediately below the | foreign factorie: From here are accounts of an earthquake. which demolished about ten thousand houses, killing upwards of four thousand people. Cir- culars, with the particulars, are selling in the streets of | Canton. ‘The native shopkeepers, in the provincial city, make loud complaints of the duliness of trade. In this re- | spect, they and foreign merchants are in the same pos! M e war with China has led to many important | changes, not the least of which is the opening of a wider and more promising field for cultivation by the sincere and devoted Missionary. However much our French and American friends may congratulate them- selyes on the commercial treaties their Envoys have made with China—and their self laudations are neither few nor modestly expressed—it cannot be forgotten that it is to British arms ond to British magnanimity that they are truly indebted for the privilege which they now en- joy. Inhis treaty with China, Sir Henry Pottinger se- cured for all nations the same advantages he had secured for his own. From the day that treaty was signed, a new era dawned upon China, though generations will pass away before it reaches its meridian. The obstacles to Missionary labor, when our relations were on the old footing, were almost insurmountable, and during the | many years that Protestant Missionaries have been resi- dents “in Macao and other places on the outskirts of China, it is questionable whether they have made one convert. It is true, that the material they had to work upon was of the worst description, and that from the cold and contemptuous manner which the local Chinese authorities assumed towards foreigners, and the prejudices against them which were universal among the people, it was not probable that they would give a willing ear to the “barbarians” who wished to expound | to them the doctrines of a newer anda purer faith. The Catholic missionaries, more courageous, or more zeal- ous tian their Protestant brethren, assumed the garb of the natives—in some instance also acquiring a trade by which they could earna subsistence—and boldly pushed into the interior, at the imminent danger of detection, seizure, anddeath. Itis difficult to know the real suc- cess of these devoted men. We formerly heard of | Christian communities in the interior worshipping in se- cret, but now that the Christian religion hag been tole- rated, there is no longer cause for disguise, and those, who are converted or born Chaistians, will avow their | | belief. ‘The imposing ceremonials of the Romanists, have ever made them more successful in gaining proselytes among pagan nations than other denominations of Chris- tians. We have only to look at South America, and we behold millions of nominal Christians, professing to be members of the Catholic Church. In Chiua, it is quite possible that the Catholics have had considerable suc- ess in conversion to a certaim extent; but we hold, from some personal acquaintance with other scenes of missionary iabour, thata perfect and complete change | of the rel'gion of a people is the work of ages. Though we do not think that regeneration will immediately take place among the Chinese, in consequence of the oppar- tunities now offered for their becoming acquainted with Christianity ; still the want of converts, will, it is to be hoped, not discourage those who have come from dis- tant lands to minister to their spiritual welfare. Now that China is really thrown open to him, it is to be ho; that the missionary will be cautious in his communica- tions with his friends. Let him rather under, than over rate his labour, remembering that sooner er later his works must be known. [From Hong Kon On Wednesday, an attac! | | | Gazette, May 10.) was made on the premises of Mr. Lamont, ship builder, by a large body of China- men, armed, a is usual on these occasions, with long bamboo spears, fire bells, guns, &c. In addition to which, they strewed the street in the vicinity of Mr. La. moat’s house with iron crow’s feet, on purpose to wound the Sepoy guard, at Jardine, Matheson & Co.’s, should they hear the disiurbance and attempt to capture them wo gingals (larg guns on swivels) were also mounted so as to sweep the street; and the whole arrangement showed a premeditated attack. After planting ladders, | brought for the purpose, a number of them got on the roof of the house, where, tortunately, they were discov- ered, and the alarm given. ‘I'he Sepoys, and some Euro | peau gentlemen, were immediately on the spot,but could capture only oue of the robbers, wao was slightly wouled. “Che other thieves threw themselves from the top of the house, and it is believed some were injur- ed; trom the traces of blood leading to the boat in wnich they embarked, it was also evident that several of the tobbers were wounded by the shots fired. More of them would certainly have been taken, but for the missiles we have mentioned, which wounded the feet of the Se poys, and prevented their giving active chase. One man —an Englishman—was w gal, which pasi one Sepoy wa: d through the fleshy part of his arm,ond | ghtly touched in the neck. | [irom the Friend of China, May 31 } | On Sunday afternoon a fire broke out in atheatre with. | in the walls of the city; it has been the cause of a melan- | choly loss of life, ns Well ax the destruction of much pro perty. The theatre,formed the centre of a square,to which there was enly access by one narrow lane. After the fire was observed the audience endeavored to escape by the Jane, but unfortunately the crowd from without were trying to force their way into the square, and prevented a jarge number of those who were within from obtain- ing egress—the two hodies appear to have got jammed, | the greatest confusion prevailing. It is supposed that | upwards of eight dred lives were lost by the fire, the talling timber, or borne down by the crowd and sutfoca- tion, The bodies are so horribly mutilated their friends cannot recognize them; iu consequence of this, hua- dreds lay unclaimed, and the worst consequences are to | be apprehended from their exposure in such a climate at this season. Its to be hoped that the city authorities will have them buried at once; though from the natiozal | prejudices of the people with regard to the dead, and the | filial affection which prompts them to pay great’ respect to the ashes of their departed kindred, it is feared that days will be allowed to elapse befere the unclaimed and unrecognisable are disposed of. i We have had a call from a gentleman who left Canton on Tuesday evening, who has favored us with further | particulars. By the Mandarins books, the total number | of killed is 1,267, including 52 male and female actors— | the wounded are estimated at 2,100. On Monday, the day more, wounding many. It is rather remarkable that thirty years ago a similar accident happened at the same | theatre. At that time the authorities forbade dramatic | perlormances by the inhabitants—the present company | are outside people.

Licutinc rue Streets.—The city authorities of Brooklyn have adopted some plan by which the names of the stre nthe corners are so illuminated that they can be read in the night without dificulty, We are not sorry that our sister city should be progressing in all the improvements which render a city a comfortable and safe residence, but it does seem, that with all the combined wisdom of ourcity fathers, we might have been the first to introduce this much needed reform.— There have always been just complaints of the wretch ed manner in which our streets have been lighted. Be- fore the ip\roduction of gas, the lamps burnt until they ot ready to go out, and out they went, leaving the city in utter darkness and gloom. And since we have com- menced the burning of gas, the lamps in many parts of the city are extinguished at a very unseasonable hour in | the morning, leaving the city at the mercy of highway- | men and burglars, while the invincible city watch were | comfortably snoozing at their posts. In connectiongwith | keeping the streets well lighted, this plan of illuminating | their names promises to be one of great benefit, particu: | larly to strangers. How often it happens that strangers | in returning from the theatres or other places, late at | | | | | | such and such anumber, and how often it happens that under pretence of showing them, the sharpers who prowl] about at midnight decoy them into some by-street and there rob them, Now, if upon each street lamp at | every corner, the name of the street were painted in | legible characters, and the number of the house in front which the lamp is situated, there would be but little diffi- | culty in a stranger finding any place he was in searc of. “With a map of the city in his pocket there would be | no difficulty at all. But at present but very few of the | names of the streets can be read at night, and the stran- | ger is obliged to grope his way along, trusting for his in formation altogether to the honesty of passers by We really hope that New York will not suffer Brooklyn to advance so much beyond her without following her in this matter. Will the city authorities make a move? We wait for an answe: Cuurcn or Sr. Corumsa, Curtsea.—This church is rapidly advancing towards completion, and may justly now be considered a monument of the assiduity, zeal, in- domitable exertion, and perseverance of the reverend and talented pastor, to whose ministerial charge has been committed the congregation of that church. On the 22d of siay last, if we mistake not, the corner stone of it was laid, and within the almost’ incredibly short period of four months, it has assumes the appearance of a finished | building. A friend at our elbow (on whose judgment we can implicitly rely) assures us that the Rev. Mr. Burke isa perfect prototype of the great and eloquent “ Keogh,” who, for more thon twenty years of his mii try, was the leading spirit in Ireland, and particularly its | metropolis, for pulpit eloquence. We think it is not ha- | zarding too much in predicting that the consecration of | this church, which is, we understand shortly to take | place, will be attended by a much larger concourse of | eople than ever witnessed the performance of that so- | lies prescribed rite of the Catholic Church in the city | of New York. | Count oF Srssions—Pay or Junons.—The Court of | Sessions is getting to be quite a laughable place of | amusement. Only a few days since two gentlemen, one of the press, the other of the bar, concluded, and so in. | formed the Court and spectators, that one of them lied | and the other falsified the truth. Yesterday ascene took place between a juror and honor the Recorder, and Jonas B. Phillips, Esq., which shows the feeling which is necessarily induced in the minds of jurors by the present unjust jury system. The jurors at the present term of the Sessions have had very ‘arduous duties to perform—sitting early and late, and now near the close of the term, they are getting wearied | and begin to think of their own private business, which has been neglected so long. They have all been run- ning to the Recorder for several days past, requesting a discharge. One gentleman yesterday urged his claim, stating that he could not stay any longer, when the fol lowing dialogue took place :— Recorper—Reully Sir, I cannot excuse you. We havea great deal of business yet to do. Jvxon—But | have a geat deal of business to do also. Mr. Purutirs—I really hope that jurors will not think of their private business when the interest of the public | is concerned. Jurnoxr—My business is of much more interest to me | than that of the public. My busi pays me well for all my inyestiaents, but the public puts me off witha paltry shilling. | At this reply his Honor laughed—Mr. Phillips laughed | —the bar laughed—the spectators laughed, and the un- muscesstul (Spor looken lecidedly lugubrious. It is reall h too bad that men should be obliged to | leave their business and spend weeks in the arduous bu- | siness of jurors, with no other compensation than a shil- ling for each case on which the: king sometimes a chilling and so day, and sometimes but a shilling in men will not doit with any willingness, and forced ju- | rors are not the men to try cases impartially. Give jurors | | a reasonable compensation—treat them when iu service | more like men—and men will always be found ready to yield some of their private interests to the welfare of the public.

The number and description of troops, should they be required, are to be designated by General 1 ov.

A rnorosnp Worknovuse.—Great havo of late been made by gentlemen connected with manage- ment of the Als House at Flatbush, to add a workhouse to the buildings, in which able bodied paupers may be made to pay the expenses of their support. Even as this institution is now conducted, there is no public establish. ment in the county which is more excel ily managed, or under better regulations ‘The proposed c e will, however, not only materially relieve the tax-payers but will add greatly’ to comforts, the health, and the welfare of those whom poverty, distress, or disease may compel to seck she! fuod, and raiment at the public expense. Samuel Doxey, Esq, one of the inost etticient and experienced of the superintendents of the poor, has submitted plans for the projected undertaking, which will probably be adopted by the Boarl of Supervisors, who have exclusive control of the nreiises. Pourtican Dissensions. —The near approach of the fall elections has caused considerable stir among the most prominent and active members of the several political Clubsand parties of Brooklyn, aud ia another week or two the city will be full of turmoil, trouble and commo- tion, caused by the struggles of contending tactions for the ‘supremacy and power. ‘The Navy Yard, which is to be the great cauldron in which one party prepares ments of strife, 1s now full of workmen, comprising politicians of all grades and classes of individuals—from ukest Garrison abolitionist, to the most ultra , democrats and whigs. Tue Crvy Hate.—At the secret session recently held by the Common Council, in relation to this important project, it was, wo understand, unanimously resolved that definite action should be had upon the various pro- positions before the Board on the 6th proximo. But three plans have been presented which have met with any fa vor or consideration: viz—those of Samuel E. Johnson, Esq, (drawn by Mr. Butt)—of Mr. ‘Tarleton B, barle, and of Mr. King. ‘The two latter only, it is said, are now under advisement Tue Common Scnoors.—It has, we perceive, beor de- nied, semi-oflicially, that there is any laxity of discipline in the management of the public schools of Brooklyn, and much excitement has been created by statements which have been publisned in relation to the coustant demands made upon parents for books, and the prices charged forthe same. It appears that no provision is made for supplying children with the publications u sary for their tuition, and that such works are inva’ bly sold by the principals und teachers of the sciools without anypecuuiary profit or advantage to themselves % ENp 18 Nor ver —It would appear that the per- jury case, which we have before mentioned, and which has created an extraordinary degree of interest in Brook. lyn, is not yet permanently disposed of ; as Roderick N. ork, appeared before Justice Church, at the police office, yesterday, in support of the accusation origivally made.” In consequence, however, of adomestic affliction in the family of the Judge, (lh having lost one of his children) a tull hearing of the complaint was postponed until to-morrow sorning. L. I, Raw. Roav.—By an alinost unanimous resolution ofthe members of the Common Council, on Monday night last, it was ordered that the lateral rails which have so long obstructed the street and side walks ou the east- erly side of Atluntic street, between Powers and Neven streets, should be forthwith removed, under the direc- ion of Mr. Reynolds, one of the city Inspectors. Becoanrs.—There is no city in the United States that | requires more than Brooklyn, the establishment of a mendicity society, as beggars ‘daily crowd in almost every street, and annoy housekeepers and passengers by their pressing importunitics for alms [tisto be hoped that the Mayor will cause a proper vigilance to be ea ercised by the officers for the suppression of this nui- sance, which has become absolutely intolerable. Jonny B. Govan.—This individual is in Brooklyn,at the house of a gentleman who was oue of his most’ early friends, and whose anxiety to discover him, when miss- ing, led to the extraordinary developments which have since taken place. Mr. G. keeps very retired, in conse- quence, perhaps, of not having yet recovered from the effects of his recent misadventure. Save or Reat Estare ar Avetion.—The Alsop farm, at the Penny Bridge, on the road leading from Bushwick to Newtown, wis sold on Monday at auction. It was apportioned as follows: 75 acres of tillable land, 12 acres of woodland; 29 acres of salt meadow; total, 116 acres. It brought $185 the acre, making in all, $21,460. A Paorer Sextimenr.—R. §, Church, Esq., one of the Municipal Justices of Brooklyn, observed, yesterday, during an application made to nim for a warrant against a person holding a respectable standing in society, that although he should, in his official capacity, ever fearless. aris his duty in relation to accusations preferred against individuals, (no matter whom they might be,) he should be carefulto guard against the excited feelings or vindictive passions of those who might seek to in- volve others ia disgrace, merely to gratify a personal | pique, or subserve a malignant dr unhellowed purpose, it would indeed be well for the community if ail other magistrates would make this the dactrine of their pro- fessional and judicial practice. Ferry Accipents.—On Wednesday evening, a young lady on board of one of the Fulton ferry boats, while the boat was approaching the New York slip, missed her footing and feil, so that in the event of a collision her body woulu have been severed at the waist. ‘The b standers in terror seized her, and almost with the ra ty of lightning oxtricated her fiom her perilous situation and she was carried im a fainting state to the cabin of the, forry boat. A few evenings ago, an ambitious son of green Erin, who was taking a stroil with his dulcina, popped down in atwinkling between the boat and the slip, and disappeared from mortal view fora few minutes intended in the meantime set up a terrible wail of dispair, which be- came asource of considerable amusement when the ap- parent danger was over. Werexty Reront or Interments.—The number of rooklyn for the k ending the 13th instant, was eighteen, of which twelvo were children and six ults. Pouce Irems.—-The business at the police office teraay wi an unusually dall, stale, flat, and uniater- esting character. Michael Clark, whose committal to the cells for disorderly conduct was noticed yesterday, turned out to be an old offender in other respects, and a detainer was lodged against him,for the purpose of hold- ing him to answer for certain small peculatious of which he had been cay in Richmond county, during a former residence at Staten Island. An incorrigable young rascal was arrested for throw- ing a stone at a poor carman, who was seriously injwred, and who had given his assailant no provocation whatever for the outroe. Information was given to officer McCormick, which induced him to start last evening for Carnarsa, n quest of four persons, who are alleged to have been guilty of di vers offences in that neighburhood. The iutormation was communicated by Mr. Davis, « Justice of the Peace, | there resident. Conrad Farrell was arrested for committing wn and battery upon Matthew Hammond, in Fulton street, near the National Hotel.
