NEW YORK HERALD. ————————— New York Monday, September 22, (845, Supplement to the Herald. We issue a supplement this morning with the foreign news. It is for city subscribers only. The Revolutionary Movement in New York. The Court of Oyer and Terminer opens at Delhi this day, and so begins another act in the strange | drama, so full of fearful and gloomy interest, now proceeding in the interior of th great and influential State. Judge Parker—a man largely endowed with sound common sense and practical intelligence—delivers a charge tothe Grand Jury, in which he will enter fully into the subject of anti-rentism, and which will be one of the most important ever made in any court of ustice in this country. We had despatched a corps of reporters to Delhi last week, for the purpose of reporting the trials, and this morning another mem- ber of our corps will reach that place and will report | this most important charge in full, returning to thia city by express in order to issue it in an extra Herald | at an early hour to-morrow morning. In every ae- pect, and particularly in their bearing on the ap- pruaching election, the proceedings at Delhi are o! the most momentous importance,and we have there- fore made arrangements to have full and accurate reports of them transmitted tous daily by express. We are, indeed, at this moment on the eve of one | of the most remarkable epochs in the history of this republic. Elements of disorganization, anarchy and ruin are banding themselves together—the most ex- traordinary and anomalous combinations are taking place amongst the revolutionists of the day—and with one wild, trenzied shout ot— Let us have a Convention—down with the Constitution !”"—agrari- ans, infidels, abolitionists, socialists, Fourierites, whig radicals and locotoco radicals, are organizing in every direction, and making the convention question, the one great issue of the coming election in this State, are prepared to carry every thing betore them. A glance at the past history of this revolutionary movement, and the origin of the Con- vention question, will lead to a more just apprecia- tion of the dangers that now menace the institutions, social, moral and religious, of the State ; and also» let us hope, to a clearer perception of the duty which devolves upon all the friends of peace, and order, and the stability of the republic itself. The agrarian movement first commenced in this city nearly twenty years ago, and can claim Tammany Hall as its birth-place. In the year 1829 the principle was broached in an address and series of resolutions prepared under the auspices of Mr. Skidmore—the master spirit of that initiatory move- | ment—who had got up aCommittee of fifty from the Trades, who issued an address denouncing the great landed proprietors of this State in the most unmeasur- ed terms, as having been “arbitrarily and barbarously made enormously rich ” at the expense of thousands of their fellow-men. That movement, however, was rather a failure, and it was not till the year 1836 that it attained any considerable degree of promi- nence or vigor. At that period it was taken up, for political purposes, by a portion of the Tammany party, including Slamm, Bang & Co., and others of that ilk. A great public meeting was held in the Park, and a flaming address, with resolutions to match, were adopted and issued. The ‘Land Monopoly ”—as it was termed—was denounced in the most vehement manner, and the cry for a con- vention to re-model the constitution of the State was raised with a great deal of enthusiasm, real and affected Soon dropped by the locofoco leaders and small agitators,not having answered their purpose, as | being no longer of any service, the agrarian move- | ment drooped in this city; but in the anti-rent dis | tricts, the seeds of rebellion and insurrection of the most formidable character had been sown, | and from year to year they grew and ripened, capa- ble laborers inthe field of agitation being neither few nor inactive. Agrarianism had found a conge- nial soil. And thus we have seen it, suddenly,—yet not without much solemn warning,—springiog up into gigantic magnitude—numbering nearly 200,000 population—openly setting all law and all authority at defiance—and by fearful acts of outrage, violence | and blood, in two great counties of the State, fully | declaring its deadly purposes and its determined | will. An element of such power as agrarianism has now become, is, of course,too influential to be overlooked by the polit.cians of the day. So once more, the lecofoco party seeks alliance with the spirit of re- bellion, and—notable illustration of the purity and disinterestedness of party politicians—finds a large section of the Whigs still more eagerly and success- fully engaged in the same game. This is by no means anovel move in politics. It was by a species of the same pious manceuvering that Thurlew Weed ob- tained influence with his party. The anti-masonic excitement in itsearliest dawning, presented to him the means of thrusting himself before the public, an opportunity of turning a local agitation to the be- nefit of “the party.” Then came the disastrous era of bank stoppages, and commercial revulsion in | 1837, which was sojudiciously improved as to effect the election of Wm. H. Seward to the Gubernato- nal Chair of this State. The same policy was af- | terwards adopted with regard to the Irish Repeal movement. Weed, Seward and Greeley jumped | into that movement, and out-heralded O’Connell himself in their devotion to the cause of poor, op- | pressed, down-trodden Ireland. But the sagacious | and patriotic triumvirate were soon taught that they handled a two-edged sword. The repeal movement | produced a reaction, and led to the development of | the “Native” party, which killed Whigism in thiv State as effectually—for the time—as the renowned Dick Johnson killed Tecumseh. Cast down, but | not disheartened, Greeley and that section of the | Whig party which rejoices in his organship, have | now fastened on the anti-rent movement, and from | week to week, for months past, the Tribune has teemed with articles in which doctrines of the most ultra agrarian tendency—now concealed under the | subtle guise of abstract philosophical theories, and now propounded in the broadest and most sweeping terms,—have been set forth, and advocated with a zeal, very sincere, we doubt not, but also very much like that reprehended by a shrewd and intelligent man, who was one of the twelve apostles, as being ‘ withoutknowledge.” Yet our modern politicians are wise in their generation. The anti-renters in this State boast of possessing twenty or thirty thousand votes. Here is the secret spring of that sympathy with which the politicians—Greeley and O’Sullivan—Whig radical and Locofoco radi- eal—convention men of all grades and colors—regard the insurrectionists in the interior of this State. Hence their vehement appeals in favor of an entire repeal of the laws regulating the rights of propetry— hence the philanthropic exertions of Greeley and O'Sullivan in favor of a State Convention and an en- tire remodelling of the Constitution. As for the convention question itself, ithad its ori- gin in the selfish movement of a faction. The Demo- cratic party has always been divided into two great sections—one formed of those who fatten on the “‘spoils”’—the other ef those who chew the cud of disappointment—the “ ins” and the “ outs”—the “ barn-burners” and the “ old hunkers.” Constitu- tional reform presented a oapital subject of clap- trap agitation, and of it, accordingly, the ‘¢ outs” or “‘barn-burners” early availed themselves. Long since—for in this age, a yearor two fills a large space in history—old Admiral Hoffman took up this aub- Jeet, and on it eagerly fastened the whole faction of the “ barn-burners.” In the last session of the State7Legislature,with the aid of the Whig-radicals, they triumphed, and the question of a State Conven- tion is now to be submitted to the people in this elec: tion, But it has assumed a form, and attracted to the ranks of its supporters, a host, such as we doubt not,were never dreamed of by its original advocates Like foul birds of prey, hurrying to some scene of carnage, all the wild, ultra, and revoly. Vionary movements of the day have flocked around this convention question; and now, emboldened by the union of their forces, do not hesitate, openly and insolently, to avow their determination to sub- vert the present constitution of the State—remodel the judiciary according to their own revolutionary notions—abolish the laws by which property is at | present held—and substitute, for our existing social | institutions—the creations of common sense and | venerable experience—the visionary and anarchical | systems of a spurious and crazy philosophy. | Such is the solemn crisis on which we have en. | tered. It isa crisis similar to that which ushered in the despotism of Oliver Cromwell in England. The same elements of fanaticism, of disorganiza- tion, of wild and dreaming speculation are at work Ic still more closely resembles that eventful epoch in the history of France, which preceded the advent of Napoleon, and prepared the way for his reign of | despotic rule. An analogy can also be traced between the present period in our national career, and that revolutionary era in the history of Ger- many, when Martin Luther laid the foundation of a revolution that will never cease to operate benefi- cially on the fortunes of mankind, but during which were evolved in that land, elements of evil, that finally, led to the domination of Austria, and pro | longed, for many years, the final triumph of civil and religious liberty on the continent of Europe. Let wise men of all parties, awake. A terrible storm is approaching — | Let us prepare for it. We are no enemies to reform and progress. But the lighted torch is not the re- | former that we are disposed to welcome. Revolu- | tion, founded on the principles of common sense, is | the only species of revolution that we can approve | The revolution of 1776 was a revolution of common sense. Practical men of genuine patriotism, of s0- ber m.nds, of large experience, were the leaders in it. They were not incendiaries and madmen, The fear of God was before their eyes, and the love of rational liberty was in their hearts. We have seen the blessed fruits of that wise and righteous revolu- tion. The whole world has seen its fruits. Fair, | glorious and unshaken stands the fabric reared by | the hands of the mighty and good men of 1776 | Fifty years’ experience has confirmed for ever the wisdom of their views, and the purity of their mo. tives. The same wisdom—the same common sense | —the same intelligent patriotism created the Con- | stitution of this State. And now, oh! sober citizens | of the republic, are you prepared to see the fruits of | that long night of agony, through which your heroic | fathers passed with such unshrinking fortitude and | uafading glory, rudely swept away? Can you re- | main inactive when a combination of all the wild, | reckless, foolish and destructive influences of the | day is threatening to sweep away every thing that is pure and lovely, and of good report, in the present orgemization of society ? The great question of this hour isa plain one. It is “Convention,” or “No Convention.” Every man can at once decide upon it. You must either vote for lighted torch reform, or common sense reform. There is no neutral ground. You must either rank with the agrarians, the infidels, the abolitiomsts, | the socialists, the Fourie rites, or with the conserva- tives, the plain common sense men who desire gra- dual, peaceful, constitutional reform, according to the present organized laws of the State. But pause, | we implore you, before you join with the former. If | this Convention question succeed, New York, hi- therto the great breakwater of the Union against the waves of abolition, will very soon be an abo- liton Stater The check which this great central State has hitherto exercised upon the revolutionary and disorganizing elements at work in other States, will be lost for ever. The Empire State will then be as powerful for mischief as she has heretofore been powertul for good. Who, in that case can tell the | issue? Itis fearful to contemplate the probable re- walt. Again, we say, pause before you cast in your | vote in this election—an election so full of momen. tous interest to this State—to the Republic—to the cause of liberty throughout the world. Every reader will perceive the immense impor- tance at this crisis of the legal proceedings in the anti-rent region. Judge Parker’s charge is looked tor with the most intense interest. It will be the Most important charge ever delivered in this State. Anti-rentism—the Convention question—and the coming election, are all bound up together, and everything connected with the anti-rent movement must now exercise a great influence on future events. Hence our anxiety to report and dissem- inate this charge, and to present to the whole coun- try the fullest and most accurate details of every movement connected with anti-rentism. A great crisis is at hand, and public attention cannot be too intensely directed to the influences which crowd the present time with omens of such alarming im- port. Our reporter will reach this city by express to-morrow morning, and the charge will be imme- diately issued in an extra Herald. Commox Counci..—Tur Dean Hovse.—The Boards will meet this evening, and doubtless, from Past appearances, will take no steps to free us from the many crying abuses, and public nuisances, which have existed in the heart of our city ever since the present Corporation gotinto power. The Dead House in the Park, as a public nuisance in this cen- tral part of our city, has been felt more intolerable during the last few months than at any previous pe- riod since its erection. During the extreme heat that prevailed in the month of August, several dead bodies were, trom time to time, placed in the Dead House, and the offensive odor arising therefrom proved dangerous, particularly to those residing in the immediate vicinity. The United States Courts are situated immediately adjoining the Dead House, and so is the New York Gallery of Fine Arts, on the site of the old post-office. A public theatre, severa | public offices and private houses, are also situated in the immediate vicinity of this Dead House. The manifest danger arising from the noxious effluvia that arises from this offensive nuisance, should in- duce the authorities to adopt the necessary measures to change the location of the Dead House, as its continuance any further in the Park will doubtless lay the foundation for some dangerous epidemic.— It is understood that the Grand Jury, at the next Court of Oyer and Terminer, to be held in October, will take some action upon the subject. Increase or Emicration.—We have obtained, trom the books of Messrs Wolt and Rickers, the following interesting statistical facts :— wuncens Anniven at New Yonx Quarantine.

About twenty-five thousand of these emigrants are Germans. Many of them go to the colony of Sepa- ratiste, on the reservation lands, near Buftalo, This class of people owns about seven thousand acres of choice land in that section, and already number nearly two thousand souls. Of the other emigrants, the Norwegians form a very valuable part. They generally take up their line of march for Illinois, where they have a large settlement near Chicago; they also go to Wisconsin. Irish, English, Scotch, and Welch, make up the remainder of the emigrants.

Professor Bush's Lecture on Swedenborgian —The immense strides which science of all kinds has taken within the last quarter of a century, is in no instance more foreibly brought home to our minds than in the matter of medical knowfedge and all that appertains to it. The practititioner of the present day, enjoying as he does the varied stores of know- ledge which are shéwered down upon him by allthe collective wisdom of the medical world, through the medium of the journals particularly devoted to the writings of the most eminent physicians and surgeons of the day, no longer gropes along in the formerly the vogue, and was continued merely be- cause their predecessors had introduced it, but his mind enlightened by the daily discoveries that are brought by the medium of medical journals almost within the scope of his own experience, he is ena- bled to practice with singular advantage to himselt and patient. Medical researches, however, have lately been carried beyond what would formerly have been reckoned as coming within their strict boundary, and social physics, as the science of man has been designated, is now the subject beth of scientific and of popular attention. Ina chapter from an unpub- lished volume by the lamented Forry, we find many curious statements regarding vital statistics, show- ing that by the employment of mathematical analy- sis applied to the great questions of population, mor- tality, and national health, all the phenomena of the human frame, but more especially the physiological acts connected with reproduction ; the development of man’s faculties and mortality, when examined and measured in a great number of individuals, furnishes a mean result equally correct with that of any other physical phenomena. By the various tibles which Dr. Forry brings forward,he effectually proves the accuracy of this position in the case of diseases, and,by a series of tables, extending over a period of twelve years, he shows the undeviating accuracy of the proportion of deaths and recoveries among thosewho areattackedwith disease ofall kinds, acute or chronic, and to such an extent have the various researches of the modern medical men been carried, by a further set of tables, extending over a period of eight years, that we find that even the con- ditions which seem to depend wholly on accidental causes, have the same constant recurrence, as is shown by reference to the table of recruitments of the French army, and the reports of criminal justice in France, which show the remarkable constancy of the various causes of unfitness for military ser- vice on account of bodily infirmities, such as deaf- ness, blindness, epilepay, and also regarding not only the annual perpetration of the crime of mur- der, which present very nearly the same annual number; but experience further shows that even the instruments used to accomplish the object, bear like proportions in each year. plate for a moment,” says Dr. Forry, “the mul- tiplied circumstances upon which each birth, each death from a particular disease, each fatal accident, and each murder depends, and espe- cially as regards the last, the concurrence of how many tumultuous passions in man is required in addition! Yet, strange to say, the moral and physical causes in operation are so constant, that the annual results are actually less fluctuating than the products of the soil, or even the mean of the temperature! And thus we see _ illustrated the fundamental principle, that ‘the greater number of individuals observed, the more do individual peculi- arities, whether physical or moral, become effaced, and leave, in a prominent point of view, the general facts, by virtue of which society exists and is preserved.” In looking over the Fifth Annual Report of the Registrar General of Births, Deaths and Marriages in England, for the year 1843, we find some most interesting tables regarding the expectation of life among persons who die of consumption and other exactly show what we wish to inform the public of in this article. “One of the most interesting applications of these | tables, is to the determination of the expectation of life | among persons destined to die of different diseases. The insurance offices are in the habit of refusing to insure the lives of persons having heveditary or acci- dental tendencies to consumption or other chronic in- curable diseases ; but the lives of such persons, though shorter, are regulated by laws as constant as those which are observed in persons dying of other diseases, and admitting that the applicant will ultimately die of consumption, (but is not laboring under the disease,) he need not be deprived of the advantages of assurance, for hia chance of living can be determined, and the risk calculated.” Acting on the established data that have thus been accumulated, The Mutual Benefit Life Insurance Company of this city, have been the first to lead the way in offering to take risks on invalid and un- sound lives. The great benefit that will result to the | community at large from this new feature in the | theory and practice of Life Insurance, 1s incalcué lable. It would be useless for us to devote space to the eulogy of the beneficial effects of these compa- | nies, as they have hitherto existed. The hundreds of cases where a policy on a certain life has proved of the most vital use to the survivors, all these are well known and need no further praise ; but the pe- | culiar plan of the organization of this company, be- | yend the fact of their insuring invalid and unsound lives, is one that must undoubtedly procure for it a | great amount of custom. This branch of the busi- ness is, however, not by any means the only one | they practice—sound lives also continue to be in- sured by them on as equitable terms as any other company. The charter of this Institution, authorizes it to make all and every insurance appertaining to or connected with life, risks of all kinds, grant annui- ties and make endowments. There is no money stock in it, the funds or capital arise from premiums paid in when persons make insurance, and these form the means to make payments on policies, grant loans, pay expenses, and yield profits. insured become members, and are not liable, beyond | The books of the company are open to them, 10 see | that the sums paid by them, or securities received, are deposited or invested according to the charter, | and the nett profits, at fixed periods, are divided among them. These are a few of the features of this new era | in Life Assurance, and it is well worth referring to» as the means of providing for families, the heads of which at present from their invalid condition, fancy that such resource is beyond their reach.

The room was most densely crowed full | half an hour before the commencement of the lec- ture, with about an equal proportion of ladies and gentlemen, and even the passages leading to it were filled with anxious listeners The services of the evening were commenced by | the reading of a portion of scripture, a hymn, and afterwards a prayer following. Professor oan then commenced by saying, that the subject of the future life and destiny of man was one of the most universal importance, and one which no rational being could treat with indiffer- ence without foregoing the title to a rational being, a8 what was more important to every think- | ing being than his condition in a future state. That there is, however, a complete apathy about it is doubtless, from the circumstance that no further lightis afforded than by the pages of holy writ, which her bag dr of but enters into no letails. destiny in another, and jark as to the specific condition of good and bad in another world; yet the human mind cite instruction, and it cannot be doubted that we are up by the lotter of sacred scripture which thi es our sight into futurity. The question to be asked | did mind on this subject i> as follows: Is there grante: that the answer to these q' and wish to array such evidence before our hearers, and | advert to the impor ant fact that new light is to) be expected on this subject. The objection that th doctrines trespass on scripturesas they are re- vealed to us is by no means valid, as they by no means contradict them, but merely expound the | revelations of the word of God; and that we we absolutely shut up to receive them as they are writ- ten is inconceivable, and such expositions can omy be proved to be contradictory, when it is proved that the ‘Almighty in making those he has, has contradicted him- self. The results of such di-coveries cannot be con- trary to whatever stands in the sacred volume as reveal- ed, for we are not adding when we understand them more thoroughly. Supposing a person was perfectly to expound the Apocalypse, could he be charged with going beyond what God" has taught, it would be merely un exposition and by no means an addition. These, it is said, are subjects out of the reach of human intellect.— Paley, and other authors, have recorded, that on these subjects the human mind is naturally incapacitated from receiving information; but as the old prophets had reve- should’have the same. ‘The learned gentleman went on at great length to expound the views of the doctrines of | this sect, and during the discourse read a number of ex- tracts from Swedenborg’s works, and proceeded to x lain them in his own peculiar way. | At the close of his fecture he announced that he would again renew the subject next Sunday evening at the same place.

Americans in Vera Cruz were look- ing for news of a demonstration to be made on the West- ern coast of Mexico by our Pacific squadron, They were so eager for such @ consummation as to give count ance to a report afloat, that Montery had a second time fallen into Trierican hands. [From the Wasbiogton Union, Sept. 19.] A file of late papers has been received at the Depart- ment of State from the capital of Mexico. é After a close examination of them, we find nothing worthy of notice, except the unofticial announcement of the appointment of General Anastasio Bustamente, the former President, as General-in-Chief of the army of operations for Texas, on the 2ist of August. i ‘The letters of the various ministers, on accepting their appointments, August 14, contain no allusion to Texas, except that the Minister of War (Anapa) says that he is induced to accept, from the circumstance, that ‘we are threatened by a power which seeks to trample our rights under foot.” Mexican Government, as organized on the 14th August, 1845.—President—General Jose Joaqu n de Herrera.— Ministers—Foreign Relations, Government, and Police— Manuel de Pena y Pena; Justice, Ecclesiastical Affairs, Public Instruction, and Industry —Jose Benardo Conto ; War and Marine—Pedro Maria Anaya. ago Democret. Some weeks ago an article appeared in this paper which did not set well on the stomachs of the official Aparials in Canada, but the material facts they did not deny. They undertook, however, to ridicule the whole matter, by a technical objection to the expression “ Highland Dragoons,” and their echoes this side of the line, joined in the cry. Upon making further enquiries, we learn that the ex- ression “ Hi; id Dragoons” referred rather to the jact that the soldiers had been recently imported from a station in the Highlands of Scotland, than to the fact that they were Highlanders born, or were Highlanders in stature. But it is immaterial where they were born, where they came from, or whether they were mounted or on foot. All we Americans want to know is that some kind of troopsarethere. The question then arises, what arethey there for? As tothe statement that Great Britain is trying to get our Indians away, it is confirmed by the Indians themselves,now at Mackinac Pateerg 3 for the payment. Not only so, but persons who have been at Drummond's Island this season, and are acquamted there, say that the diminution of the Indians 1s easily perceptible. Again, the Canada papers themselves boast of the great increase of the Indians to the Manitculine from Drummond’s Island. ‘They may equally loudly boast of the great accession of negroes, which are kid- napped and run over the lines by our abolitionists. The British, the Indians, and the Negroes compose the mod- ern triple alliance against the extension of freedom on the American continent. The name of the steamship, lymg in ordinary at Pen- denguishine is ‘The Minos.” If it has been oi! this season, it has not been known on the American side, There is another very small steamship to wi other article did not allude. When the America: n ship gan was in the Sault Ste. Marie region, ‘uis immer, this little concern, whose name we have just, followed along in her wake to see what she was a! ovt, but was not seen by the Michigan, as one of the cr:w inform She has been in the St Mary's river seve- was 8 passengers of the Gen. Scott—a steamboat plying between Mackinac aii the Sault, on her trip about the 26th of August. She has no business of any kind whatever, either in the shape v! carrying freight or passengers. Again, the British are about commencing a Fort at Port Sarnia, the terminus of the contemplated western railroad from Kingston, at the foot of Lake Huron, nearly opposite the American Fort Gratiot All these matters are of the highest interest to us,who look forwad with certain rane to that not far distant day when the Canadians like the Texians will tree themselves, or in the case of a war, will be taken by us, and be annexed of their own free will to the Great Ame- rican Contederacy.
