New York Thursday, September 25, (845. Foreign Policy of the United States, The Courier and Enquirer of yesterday had a leading article on the foreign relations of this coun- try which was quite signiticant of the views and feelings entertained by the trading politicians and stock-jobbers of Wall street. Very moderate in its tone, studiously pacific and conciliatory in its whole tenor, the article in question sought to con- vey the impression that the forcign policy of this country has been of late dishonest and unjust—that the ordiaary courtesy of international intercourse has been rudely violated by us—and that we are now pursuing a course that must cover us with the obloquy of the whole civilized world. 4 We have aguin and again had occasion to point out the policy which the position of this country and the peculiar circumstances of the time, forced imperatively upon those to whom the sutfrages of the free people of this country had committed the responsibilities of government. And with no ordi- nary degree of satisfaction we have seen our views adopted, and that line of policy, which common sense and an impartialand independent conviction of duty suggested, carried out Ly the administra- tion, Texas Anoexation—a measure involving in an eminent degree the prosperity of this repub- lic, the advancement of free institutions on this continent, and the progress of the great cause of civil and religious liberty throughout the world, has been completed. The patriotic impulses of the United States have been awakened to fresh and greatly augmented vigorand enthusiasm of action, A wider horizon and a more compre- hensive aim have been given to the patriotism of the | people. The minds of men have been awakened to aclearer conviction of the destiny of this great nation of freemen. No longer bounded by those limits | which nature had, in the eye of those of those of lit- | tle faith that made up the last generation, assigned to the dominion of republicanism on this continent, the pioneers of Anglo-Saxon civilization and Anglo- Saxon free institutions, now seek distant territories, stretching even to the shores of the Pacific; and the arms of the republic, it is clear to all men of sober discernment, must soon embrace the whole hemis- phere, from the icy wildernesses of the North to the most prolific regions of the smiling and prolific South. And yet this is the spectacle that ap- pears to strike terror tothe hearts of such jour- nalists as those of the Courier § Enquirer !— The truth is, that every new indication of fast | advancing republican greatness appears to fill with undissembled alarm the souls of those to whose hospitalities such agitators as Greeley and O'Sullivan were heretofore admitted with the utmost cordiality, but who would at this moment venture, with very little hesitation,to consign such leadership to the tender mercies of outraged and violated law. The tide has in fact completely changed. A new era in the history of republicanism on this continent has commenced. The spirit of revo- lution and change is at work; but a mightier influence pervades ‘the masses of the people.— A desire to extend the territorial of the republic has become the predomi- nant passion of the people and the time.— Itishuman nature. Nothing can check it. But such journalism as that of the Courier §& Enquirer —journalism that lives and moves, and has its being in the petty movements and petty existence of cliques—cliques of stock-jobbers, cliques of specula- tors, cligues of politic.ans—sees in all this onward tendency of the age, and in all this grasping and aggressive policy ofthe nation, the signs only of approaching disaster. Hence the subtle, cunning, and well dissembled appeals of the Courier. Hence its elaborately concocted descriptions of the tremendous power and force of Great Britain— Hence its anxious efforts to convince the people of this country that their safest policy is to keep on good terms with England—to avoid in- curring her displeasure—and to seek, by all means, the continuance of unbroken peace. The coward- ice, impolicy, and absurdity of such a course of con- duct cannot be too indignantly reprobated. Thank heaven, the patriotic impulses of the republic sweep so overwhelmingly in the right direction, that the task of the independent journalist in exposing the selfish and narrow-minded views of the small poli- ticians of the day, whose views of the nation’s destiny and the nation’s policy are regula- ted by thetr own miserable and paltry interests, is rendered comparatively easy. The idea that the United States should adopt a mean and cringing policy as regards their foreign relations, could emanate only from a mean stock- jobbing clique. This republic now occupies a posi- tion which enables it to bid defiance to all the com- bined hosts of European despotism, and that the | interested supporters of monarchical and despotic government on the other side of the Atlantic know full well. With uninterrupted progression we have been from year to year, for the last half century, advancing to an imperial greatness, such as the world has never yet seen. The grand experiment of man’s capacity for self-government hasbeen tried on ascale of greatness never before attempted, and with a success never before witnessed. Bloodless, glorious,and complete has been the triumph of repub- licanism on the virgin soil of the new world. The emancipated energies of mankind now begin to write their victories on the pages of the world’s his- tory. In ,population—in wealth—in commercial greatness—in intellectual power—in moral influ- ence—the United States of America are now jyearly growing up into the acquirement of universal sover- eignty. To this free land are now directed the eyes and hearts of the down-trodden masses of the whole European world. The sanctuary of persecuted reli- gion, the home of outlawed liberty, America is a pillar of cloud by day and a pillar of fire by night, to the followers of liberty throughout the civilized world. This is, indeed, the world’s Thermopylae. Not by the fierce and bloody outbnrsts ot popular _violence—not by the fiendish and barbarian cruelty of | demoniac leaders—not by the ruthless and incendiary destruction of all that is sacred and venerable has the republican move- ment in this land vindicated its claims to the re- spect and homage of mankind. Wisdom, virtue, peace, prosperity, and plenty have here everywhere followed in the train of free government. * But yet in the face of all this—in the face of the unexampled progress and prosperity of the republic— in the face of its glorious destiny, so apparent to al who can discern the signs of the times, such jour- nalists as the Courter § Enquirer, talk of submis. mon to England—of the danger of incurring toreign displeasure—ot the necessity of keeping on good terms with the powers of Europe. Out upon such dastardly and contemptible policy ! Now, more than ever, is the Executive of this republic enlled upon to pursue a bold, resolute, unflinching foreign policy. The peculiar circumstances of the times demand such a policy. The people demand such a policy. Common sense demands such a policy. We must have no flinching. Texas 18 ours. We have ‘but taken the first step in the great march to universal empire on this continent. We must not turn back —we cannot turn back. The eye of Great Britain is upon us. The eye of the whole civilized world 18 upon us. If war is to come, let it come. We do not dread a war. The Courier & Enquirer may regard war as a terrible contingency, but despite of that the American people will fulfil their destiny. Stock-jobbers in Wall street may de- claim about the horrors of war—commercial cliques may deprecate any disturbance of our foreign relations—political hucksters mo about the boldness of our foreign poly, Pin one thing is certain, the masses of the people - inspired by the true American feeling— Evol fica sweke tothe solemn importance of their is ¥, and are inspired Py mpatriotism too genuine bi aa or misled. | The “sly anti-republican- ism of such journalists as the Courier is preciated: Is itnot, we ask thee, true froerly a berty and the republic 1 . iend of dominion | | anp Jesse Hoyt, &e.—The extraordinary brochure | of private and confidential letters, developing the views, principles, and private purposes, ot Martin Van Buren and his political associates, for a series | of years, is yet the talk of the town. All sorts of ru- mors and commentaries are in circulation with re- gard to the mode in which the letters got into the hands of Mackenzie, the motives which actuated him in giving them publicity, and the persons by whom he was assisted in putting these private letters | toge We have already alluded to some surmises on this | subject, particularly with regard to Mackenzie’s movements in the matter. The following is a state- ment which we have procured trom Ex-Collector | Van Ness, and which fully exonerates him from all knowledge of, or intervenuon in the matter. Statement by Ex-Collector Van Neas. A few weeks before I left the office of Collector, a per- son, not connected with the Custom House informed mo, ion, that he understood some impor. of Jesse Hoyt, Esq, an n discovered among the by Mr McKenzie the Assistant Collec- tant private co certain of his fr ves of the Custom Hous mediately sent for Mr. Bogardui tor, and requested him to employ a confidential clerk to make a private examination in the room where Mr. Mc- Kenzie, with other clerks, was employed, and where the papers. if any, were supposed to have been found, and if there were any private papers, to have them secured and taken care of ior the owner, whoever he might be. | Some days afterwards Mr. Bogardus informed me that he | had caused the examination to be made by a trusty clerk, and that some letters and papers, baloneng probably to Mr. Hoyt had been found in a large chest, but that they were of no apparent consequence then preparing to leave the office, ! gave it no further attention. This is oll I had ever known or heard upon the subject until the appearance of Mr. McKenzie’s book, which surprised me as much as it can have done any other per- son in the world. Cc. P. VAN NESS. In addition, we learn from other sources that Mackenzie was originally appointed to office through | | the active interferance and solicitation of Robert Tyler, the son of Ex President Tyler. lt seems that during the Collectorship of Mr. Curtis, Robert Tyler went to him and requested as a particular favor the | appointment of Mackenzie in the Custom House.— | Mr. Curtis postponed or delayed it until another so- licitation was made from the same quarter. Mr. | Curtis then wrote a letter to J. C. Spencer, then Se. | cretary of the Treasury at Washington, making a | statement of the application by Robert Tyler, and | giving an intimation that he would not take upon | himself the responsibility of appointing Mackenzie, | without the sanction of the President or the Secreta- | ry of the Treasury. J. C. Spencer refused his as- | | sent to this solicitation, and consequently Macken- | | zie was not appointed at that time. This refusal created a trifling commotion in the mind of Robert | Tyler and his political adherents, and we learn that | the said Robert vociferated maledictions in the most | prodigal manner on both J. C. Spencer and Edward | Curtis, for their contumacy and other sins. These | maledictions were lavished around the Tyler world by young Tyler until they generated sutlicient mo- | mentum and force on the mind of the President him- | self, to cause the removal of both these public offi- \ cers. Mr. Van Ness was then appointed Collector, | and ata similar request of Robert Tyler we believe | he appointed Mackenzie. This person’s further movements in the Custom House has no apparent connection with the Ex- i Collector, but we have reason to believe, from state- ments made to us, that Robert Tyler and Mr. Bo- gardus have been intimately connected with Mac- kenzie’s intentions and purposes in relation to the publication of this private correspondence, and that | the Ex-President himself, now in this city, is any thing but ignorant of it—in fact, he, Captain Tylery had one of the first copies. Mackenzie and Robert Tyler, also T. N. Parmelee, at Buffalo, who is the biographer of Ex-President Tyler, and was once a secret agent on the Western frontier for some time, one in Albany, besides many other Tyler men, were all particularly connected and acquainted with the plan tor creating a Tyler party at the last election. The getting up and publication of this brochure in the manner adopted, for the purpose of demolishing the Van Buren party in this State, may be for the pyrpose of creating a vacancy in the public mind, into which Ex-President Tyler may place himself by the nelp of his son Robert, Mackenzie, and other original Tyler men in this State. Such is one of the aspects of this extraordinary brochure. The mode in which the letters have been procured, and the manner in which they have been published, presents one ot the most extraordinary and unparalleled acts of turpitude that ever took place in the political history of this State! Jesse Hoyt owes it to himself to do something in the pre- | mises. The developments given by these letters of the movements and governing principles of Van Buren and his son John, together with their fami- liar associates, do not convey any new information to the public or any thing different from the practices of the whig party, but they confirm, by the most gra- phic autobiography, the beauties of the political creed of the democrats as the Glentworth papers did that of the whigs, which no one will ever forget, and which will afford a proper subject of laughter, amusement, ridicule, fun and philosophy to the whole Union. We, ourself, twenty years ago, being then a young philosopher, were inveigled by the fas- cinating charms of Van Buren and his men for a pe- riod of nearly ten years; but fortunately for our repu- tation, our good fortune, and every thing connected with peace and happiness in thislife, and even in that which is to come, we discovered what the ser- pent in Eden meant more that twelve years ago; we left their company, shaking the dust off our feet, and washing our hands of all their contamination. Hence our good luck and popularity ever since. ‘The result of this publication may te to assist in the defeat and hasten the utter route of that class of men who have pulled in the harness of Van Buren, all over the country. But while the public mind will want some political idol to adore—some humbug to idolize —we do not believe that Ex-President Tyler, with all the Tylers little and big he may have about him, with all the Mackenzies end Parmelees that ever supported him, and all the shreds and patches he may tack together, will be able to occupy thay fat place which Van Buren once filled so long and so lovingly. The Tyler and Van Buren parties are like two earthen pitchers knocked together ; their bro- ken fragments are scattered around, and in such a people’s well for another pitcher full of spoils.

In pursuance of a call made some time since the mechanics of the city of New York, favorable to the completion of the New York and Erie Rail- road, assembled last evening in the rooms of the Mechanics’ Society, in Crosby street. Mr. Thomas C. Shardavayer was elected President, and Mr. Jas. Van Norden, Secretary. Mr Wm. E. Doves, of the firm of Phelps, Dodge & Co, ing was called for t) urpose of seeing what the mecha- nics would do towards the completion ef this road, the benefits of which cannot be seen or appreciated with sufficient force. He was requested te 8 @ statement | to the meeting of its advantages to this city, but he did not think it necessary to enter into detail; that during n of the work on the road all of the advan- ich had induced capitalists to invest in the en- | ter pri had been augmenting. They then looked onl | to Iudiana and Ohio, and now look to the States which did not then exist ; it was computed then that 75 tons of freight would pay a handsome dividend, and that since the late great improvements in locomotives they can take 276 tons ; that they are aware of the great advan- tage it was to subscribe now,as the State had relinquish. ed a lien of $3,000,000 as an inducement to have the road finished. The portion of the road completed has paid much better than was expected, and when all was fini ying road ; the road isthat by Bi ants can buy their goods Erie canal is opened, and ot illustrated the effect which provision market in N he price of milk ond other artic to Goshen, and now; and that the road is finished, to get turkeys for 38 | for which we now pay 10s. In regard to the certainty | e road being a paying concerh, he said that it will have but one set of office: ad in that respect will nut pensive than a road forty miles long, and that erson who ha: the progress of the mighty for twenty years past, and the progress which it i> | w | destinea to make in twenty years more, cannot entertain | a doubt of its being able to pay a larger dividend thav any other railroad in the world, and that roads in Eu- | rope, only forty miles in length, pay five per cent on | stock at 100 per cent above par. A gentleman in Balti- | more told . @ few days since, that they could not find arithmetic extensive enough to compute the profits | of the work; that two and a half millions of dollars have | been subscribed within fifteen days in small sums. | Mr. Lover then came forward and said, that all were anxious to have subscriptions to the stock as much diffu- sedas possible, and that so far the subscriptions varied from 500 shares to one, and suggested that all present be invited to come and subscribe; that he was informed there was some misapprehension as to the terms of sub- scription, and to set the matter right, he read the terms. The railroad is completed for 53 miles, and the income will be sutticient to pay the interest on the subscriptions nowmade and the successive portions of the r lene as the interest increases, and that meetings enough have een held, an now time to act, and the co-operation of every man in the community is wanted. It may not be understood that the aggregate railreads in the United | States pay 5 percent; many pay 7 per cent, and 24 pay | 6} percent, and the stock varying from 50 to 130 per cent above par. Roads in Great Britain which cost £30,- 000 per mile pay a dividend ot 5 per cent, and charters for | 2300 miles more of railroad Hthve lately been granted by | the government. It was cheerful to see the spirit whic! the people of New England manifested on this subject, and that one man alone in Boston contributed $30,000 to the Brattleboro’ Railroad, which is considered there as the least beneficial of ull the roads in New England. In | five years there will be a railroad from Portland to Montreal, one trom Boston to Montreal, one to Le! non, Montpelier and Burlington, reaching Luke Ontario; and within the same time there will be a commuuication from St. Louis to Charleston. Hecould show a list of | roads now paying a dividend of twelve per cent, and | that soon will pay fifteen per cent. The Erie Railroad will be the longest in the world, and one from which the way-business alone will pay seven per cent on the cost, | and in one year from its completion will no doubt pay nine percent. It it were only for the additional value the road would give to property in New York, the citi- zens of this city should hurry with its completion. The stock of the Great Western Kailroad in England cost £50 per share, and it is now worth £230. Mr. Loven said, that no road in England will pay as well as the Erie when completed, and that the average costs of railroads in England was $150,000 per mile, while in the United States it was only $30,000. Mr. Dovce said that they must request all who sub- ribed, to adopt the rule of the temperance men, and | sc that every subscriber must bring a subscriber, until the | whole of the stock was taken up. And in speaking of the benefits which would accrue to New York from the | | shutting of the Erie Canal by ice, would not, ina few | years, be even noticed in the papers. |” It was then moved that a committee be appointed to solicit further subscriptions, and the following gentle- men were named and accepted, who will meet at the same place on Monday. evening, at 7 o'clock, to make a final report—Jas. R Walter, Jas. N. Barnes, John b. arlies, Wm. H. Sweet, Alex. Lawrence, Robt. Smith, Campbell, Wm. Harry, Andrew Lockwood, S. Ward, Thos. J. Fisher, Jacob A. Westervelt, Jos. Harriott, Otis Pollard, Jas. Harriott, 1 , that a very handsome | subscription to the stock ‘was inade, and if the leel- | ing which was manifested last evening was more gene- | ral there is but little doubt that the whole of the neces- sary amount of stock will be taken, and this great work, in Which the highest and lowest ofthe people are con- | Gerned, will at length be brought to completion; indeed, it is expected that the committee will, in their report, have enough stock taken to accomplish this most desi- | rable object. | Tue Episcora, Convention—Mora.ity oF THE | Rericiovs Crrcies.—We give in another column areport of the proceedings of the Episcopal Con- vention yesterday.

AmeErICcAN Consu, aT Tanciers.—A_ story has been circulated for some days in certain papers re- lative to Mr. Carr, recently appointed Cousul at Tan- giers, in place of Mr. Mullowney. This story re- presents that the Emperor of Morocco will not ac cept Mr. Carr as Consul from this country, on ac- count of some difficulty which took place when ne wes formerly in Tangiers as Consul. We doubt the accuracy of this statement alto- gether. The difference which took place between the Consul and the local authorities of Tangiers had nothing to do with the sentiments or feelings of the Emperor of Morocco. Indeed the latter personage justified and approved the Consul’s course.. Nordo we believe that when he reaches his destination, of which we have not yet heard, he will be refused the exequater. The probable origin of this story may be found in a desire in some quarters to defeat Mr, Carr before the next Senate.

For half an hour before that time the gal- leries were filled with a numerous and brilliant as- semblage, consisting chiefly of ladies. The body of the Church was reserved for Members of the Con- vention and Theological Students, and it was also filled to overflowing. The morning service of the Episcopal Church was performed by the following gentlemen: Rev. Francis Vinton, Rev. H. Wheaton, Rev. Dr. Ber- rien, Rev. Dr. Wainwright, and the sermon was preached by Dr. Sherwood, of Hyde Park. The reverend gentleman took his text from Ist Corinthians, 3d chapter, 9th to 15th verses—“For we are laborers together with God: ye are God’s husban- dry, ye are God's building. According to the grace of God which is given unto me, asa wise master builder | have laid the foundation, and another buildeth thereon, but let every man take heed how he buildeth thereupon, for other foundation can no man lay than is laid, which is Jesus Christ.

Ifany man’s work abide which he hath built there- upon, he shall receive a reward. If any man’s work shall be burned he shall suffer loss, but he himself shall be saved, yet so as by fire.” ‘The reverend sont man began his discourse by re- marking, that as the peculiar circumstances that differ- larly te have distinctly und he did not commit himself i tion in view. on either part. {twas his earnest wish both as regarded the laity and clorgy, that they should always remember that they are in wed brethren, that the clergy should remember their nigh and holy situation as ministers of God, that they should scrutinize the inmost workings of their heart, and by the sacrifice of all unkind feelings and prejudices, and unjust and uncharitable actions, promote the pros- verity of the Church of Christ. It was far from his wish, Heaven forbid, to enlarge the number of difficulties that now pressed on the Church; his object was truth, justice, and peace, and in the present state of affairs a large share of mutual forbearance and brotherly love was required Kcclesiastically speaking,we are placed in a strauge po- sition.

Whilst we all entertain our opin n this sublees, it is our bounden duty to give that full force and render it full obedience; it is amost important point, and involves the principle of Ecclesiastical authority ,the establis) nt of which prin- ciple church is of greater weight than any one person’s standing, and by the workings of this sentence, in future will “be better understood Be- sides this affliction, which has weighed heavy on our souls, and filled our hearts with shame and sorrow, there are inthe church other evils, which, if not so glaring, are as bad, eine ‘as they do from more subtle and con- cealed c: , and from which may be dated the origin of the church. We are in troublous times, which will try our principles as churchmen, and it is only by the serious and prayerful consideration of our- selves, that we may finally restore quet. Our present not only divided on subjects of honest discus- but there is among us too much Corinthian and sion, party spirit, too much saying of ‘I am of Paul, | am of Cephas,” and such distinctions. ‘This is all wrong—what have we to do with party ?

Whence comes the causes of these evils—they must, of course, ke sought for in the deep wickedness of the human heart. But other causes which instigate these difficulties are to be found in the criminal ignorance of divine truth, and the disregard and contempt thrown on the church—the desire to lead a par- ty, and general spirit of insubordination, and non-sub- mission to authonty. Let us be mindful of these causes; and here, brethren of the Clergy, is something that comes home, being leaders of God's word, as we are— have we always upon usa just feeling of our responsi bilities? Are we zealous enough of our standing as workmen in the cause of Christ? Are we altogether without blame 7 We may have lent ourselves, I fear, to the unhallowed work of division, and in a desire to-en- large our congregations, have not been zealous | in urging the doctrines of Christ. I fear we have not and do not urge the unity of spirit. These are serious fears publicly expressed, and gladly shall I find myself mistaken. Let us seek the truth— God will pardon our errors and unintentional wander- ings. Regarding the text, he reverend gentleman said be was aware diflerent interpretations had been put upon it, but they did not harmonize. The apostle re- bukes the spirit of opposition that even then appeared, and the only distinction he makes is between minister and people. The reverend gentleman proceeded to re- mind the clergy of their high responsibility, and closed with an impressive desire that both clergy and laity would each perform their duty. Subsequent to the sermon, the assembled clergy par- took of the Lord’s Supper, at the conclusion of Which, the Convention was called to order by Mr. Haight, the secretary, and Dr. Lyell presiding. ‘The secretary proceeded to call the roll of the clergy und the lay dela- gates from the different porishes; alter which, the ques- tion of nomination for President of the Convention was gone into, which resulted in the nomination of Dr, Wain- wright by Dr. Jones, and Dr Creighton by Dr. Sher- wood. A gentleman also nominated Dr. Taylor of Grace Church, but his nomination being out of order, was not acted on.

Meeting of the National Keform Association. Over a hundred persons assembled in Croton Hall last night, to hear the discussion of this society. They seemed to be chiefly composed of mechanics, and a large proportion of them were men in middle life, with nota few old men among them; we only observed two females in the whole house. On going in at eight o’clock, we found Mr. Evans addressing the meeting on their former or- ganization, what they had done, and left undone, and showing the propriety of all members taking the following pledge:— “We, whose names are annexed, desirous of restoring to man his natural right to land, do solemnly agree that we will not vote for any man, for any leg: e office, who will not pledge himself in writing to use all the in: fluence of his station, if elected, to prevent all further traffic in the public lands of the States, and of the United States, and to cause them to be laid out in farms and lots for the free and exclusive use of actual settlers.” _ Mr. Bovay then took the stand, and begun by say- ing, that he proposed avoiding subjects which had been already discussed, and take up some new topics. To begin, he would say, that the American revolution had not yet reached the ‘working people. (Cheers.) Its principles had reached lower down here than in any of the other countries, but they were, nevertheless, going further from equality every year. Their forefathers had fought for liberty from English tyranny, but they were called upon to carry itout, and fight forlaws, (Cheers ) Now, while the great land question was up over the wond, was the most favorable time. The question ot land and labor were the two leading ones of the age. ns of Europe had found out that that of labor onthatot land. ‘There is a great battle going on between the two leading elements of the world, the democratic and the aristocratic principles. Each man was called upon to range himself under one or the other, and he pnt it to them to-night, to prepare for the great battle of Orenageddon which was not far distant. We meant, in saying that one was the principle of the past, that it clung to old abuses and the ‘old corruptions; and yet this army would be routed by that of the future, slthoug! it was ragged and dis- membered; it bad on its banners reform, equali- ty aud liberty, and would, as it always did, conquer. ‘The battle between these two powers had been fought in the French and American revolutions, but it was for them to follow it up. He did ‘not speak cf battles of biood altogether; they would Fgnt, therefore, with paper bullets, through the ballot box.— ‘There would be no strife or conilicting contests, were it not that now and in all times the few ground, and tram- pled, and despised, and ci owned the hends of the many with crowns of thorns. If people saw the truth, the in- torests of the poor and rich are identical, it ix #aid, and the conflict between capital and Jabor is unnatural. Such people might illustrate it better by calling the labor the jorse, and the capital the rider. ‘They might say that it was as much the interest of the horse to be ridden as the rider to ride him, because he wanted to get proven- derand stablfng. It would be well, however, to explain hew all the provender happened to'be with the rider in this c nd none with the horse. How does that hap- pen? How, but by injustice does the poor horse submit to be ridden to death, and submit to a foul and unequal distribution of the good things of God, 11 my father, or my children be rich, ought that to console mie for my poverty ? And yet that was the system of compensation which ‘the rich preached up to content and quiet the helpless and poverty-stricken. Such a system of com- sation was like that of Tom striking Dick, and he ing Jack, and Jack striking Bill, all of whom are to contented with a thrashing for the privilege of giving eighbor, and yet such was the beautiful sys. w going on,” Ob ut says the capitalists, ould not I do as i will with my lands in England, nselaer county, if | have paid for it with my nd myparks.

Within the | and the remainder, to the number of fift few days just past, some rere developments had been made in the polfical world, which he must allude to.

(Cheers.) He would offer this resolutio: Resolved—That we go for the State Convention, > fect Constitution, and the freedom of the public lands.” Passed by acclamation. A collection to defray the expenses of the room was here made. Mr. Oakley, Mr. Conner, and others, were then called upon to speak; the latter declined, and the former was not present; when acull was substituted for a song, but no song was given; whereupon the Chairman read to the meeting a letter from Cincinnati, giving an ac- count of the progress of reform in that region. He added some remarks relative to meetings held at Williams- burg, in this city last night, at Plainfield in Jersey, ot all which, a most encouraging account was given. Several voices having called upon Mr. Smith to ad- dress the meeting, Bovay put them in mind that Shey. make their nominations of candidates for the Legislature, and they could not put it off’ He suggested the pro- priety of adjourning the public meeting, and having a re-organization for the purpose named. he Caiman said, that he concurred in that view, but wished it to be understood, that all persons favorable to thei ome to stay; those who were members, as who proposed to becom he would, therefore, declare the meeting adjourned. About half of the audience here took their departure, y or sixty, pro- ceeded to nominate members of the J.egislature. Theatrica! Park Tueatnx.—' Cinderella” was performed last night, before a very fashionable and crowded hou: Miss Delcy was received with the most enthusiastic ap- plause, and was sustained throughout by the warmest expressions of approbation. To-night Mr. Brough h his benefit. The popular opera of “ Der Freischutz” is to be pertormed. Bowery Tusatne.—Last evening was produced for the second time the new national drama of the “ Black Rangers.” ‘Thisfis a finely written drama founded upon events which occurred during the revolutionary war. It is replete with incidents which stir up all the patriotic feelings ofan American, and carry the beholders back to the times which “tried men’s souls.” The scenery is very magnificent, presenting some most beautiful landscapes. ‘The cast in the pi one. Mr. Davenport’s personation of the Yankee is very rich; and Mr. Clark, as the captain of the Rangers, won deserved applause. ‘The fearful leap over the torrent, and ascent up the rocks, on his Indian mare, was a most exciting scene. Nothing of the kind that ever was produced at the Bowery (not even excepting “ Putnam”) has had such arun asthe ‘“ Black Rangers” will have- The house was crowded from pit to ceiling. The even- ing closed with “ Gilderoy,” with Mr. Scott as the “Bonnie Boy.” To-night the “ Black Rangers” is re- peated, closing with ‘‘ Robin Hood.” Castix Ganvex—Last evening the Ethiopian troupe had met to who have been so successful in their performances of | burlesque operas, appeared at Castle Garden in a close travestie of Cinderella—the burlesque title being “ Shin dee Heel-a.” All the original music of Rossini was sung, together with many of the popular airs of the day. Previous to the opera a vocal concert was given by th® company. The house was very well filled. the same bill for to-night. Those who love mirth will of course attend. Nisio’s Ganpex.—Last night the French company closed their performances in this city, at least for this season. The entertainments were for the benefit of Madame Ceuriot, and it was her final appearance pre vious to her retirement frem the stage. We were glad tosee that this lady was greeted witha full house, com- prising the élite of New York. The second act of the favorite comic opera of the Ambassadrice, the third act of Robert le Diable, and the sprightly and unique little vaudeville of Les Premires Armes de Richelieu,in which pieces the whole strength of the company appeared, were played, and like all that this company has produeed dur | ing their stay withus this summer, they were charac. terised by the greatest elegance of style. In bidding farewell to this delightful company, wo cannot resist saying a few words in commendation of | their career in this city during the last three months.— They commenced at the Park theatre at a season of the year when, generally, theatricals are depressed; still hight after night they ‘attracted brilliant and crowded houses. ‘They have demonstrated the fact that the pub- lic of New York are ever ready to patronise porform- ances that are gotup with the style which they have | displayed. ‘They did not stop at the mere artistical ex- ellence of their musical parts,but the extreme elegance and perfectly arranged details of all the characters, down to the lowest supernumeraries, in the matter of dress, decorations, &c , has been such, that those even who did net either understand the language or the mu- sic, have been bewitched by their refined displays. To one of the company this season will always be fraught with melancholy recollections, but let us hope that in retiring to private life, she may obtain some solace for her bereavement. Forthe remainder of them, their en- gagement at the Park and Niblo’s Garden, during the Sumner of 1845 must always be fraught with sweet re- collections, and they may be assured that,whenever they return, they will meet with a hearty welcome To-night Mrs. Mowatt and Mr. Crisp commence a short engagement. They have just returned from a suce ful tour as Baltimore. The celebrity Mrs.Mowatt and Mr. Crisp ady obtained will,we are sure,be augmented during the time of their engagement. She has already taken her position asa first rate actress, and will maintain it. Erarortan SERENADERS AT PaLMo’s.—The announce- ment that they will again sing this evening is enough to fill the house. The unprecedented success of this band is not strange, as the style of their performances is so admirable that those who once have patronized them, are not only induced to Fo, again, but are sure to spread the excitement among their friends. They are unquestiona- bly the best band now performing. Music Soctrty.—The Oratorio of the Seven as last night performed to a crowded house— y-five hundred tickets were s ated durin; Mr. Seguin, Mr. Frazer and Miss Northall were adm ble. The whole affair is completely a triumph for the Sacred Music Society. Anew play founded on Mr. appeece romance “ The Crock of Gold,” has been produced at Boston wi.h much success. The Orphean Family are drawing crowded houses at Rochester. " Movements of Travellers.

Kimme Baltimore; Crime in Lovistana.—We find the following in the last Concordia Intelligencer. The town of Alex- andrit, Louisiana, has been kept alive for ten days past, with rumors of a most serious character against a legal functionary who has stood high in the confidence of the people of Rapides Parish for a number of years, The accused party boldly denies the commission of the crimes withwhich he is od—crimes which it is soid he had committed before he scttledia Louisiana—and | courts a judicial investigation, Porutation or Loursvitie.

Sixcutan Conpuct.—Our efficient Chief of the Police yesterday mernizg deputed officers Charles Johnson and Henry Carpenter to proceed to the steamer Rhode Island on her arrival from Stonington, for the purpose of vre- | serving order, keeping the hackmen from the beat, &c., and communicated with Captain Thayer the object of their mission; but instead of acknowledging the impor- tant aid rendered by the Chief, the officers were rudely put ashore by Capt. Thayer, and otherwise treated in the most unbecoming manner. Tonacco Curwine.—We do uot wonder that English tourists in this country berate the Americans so soundly for their universal habit of tobacco chewing. But they are hasty in their conclusions, and judge of this practice by the abuse of it. Say what you will, Mr. Anti-tobacco- chewer, there is a comfortable, good natured, peaceable feoling ‘diffused throughout the whole frame by 9 good uid of the pure honey-dew. When a manis afflicted by the little miseries of human life, when he is tired, when his tailors are running after him with long billa of years standing, when his wife is cross, the streets muddy, the weather lowery, then, gentle reader, let him open wide- ly bia mouth, and take in between his right jaw and chevk a quid of honey dew or fine cut, and how suddenl; do his nerves become stilled—how quickly does ull his enmity with his tailors, his wife, tue corporation, and the clerk of the weather vanish away, and his face as- sume an aspect asclear,as bright as the western sk when the setting sun has broken away the misty clouds | and spread a canopy of crimson glory over this mundane | sphore Let him, when he is travelling over a muddy | road, with a broken down horse, and «carriage that was used in the days of the revolution to convey some Yan- | kee Captain over the Green mountains, solitary and alone, wishing fora friend to cheer him, let him ‘apply to that little tin box of his, and in a moment, as by some magic charm, he has a friend who consoles him, the road | suddenly becomes good, the horse a regular courser. All | this will the weed do. These are the legitimate uses of to- | bacco. But this eternal spittingover carpets,chairs, floors, and every where,where one happens to be, cannot be too strongly condemned—no gentleman ever does it. There is sucha thing as chewing tobacco decently, and there is such a thing as chewing decidedly indecently. Pocket Pickep.—On Tuesday evening, while Dr. R. Geroudelo, of the 4th avenue, was crossing the Brook- lyn forry to this city, his pocket was picked of a wallot containing $161, in bank bills of this city. The robber escaped with his plunder. Coxoxen’s Orricr, Sept. 24—Fatal Accident.—The Co- roner was called this afternoon to hold an inquest upon the body of Elisha Brewers, a native of New Jersey, aged 42° years, who came to his death last evening by falling from the chimney of the Lying-in-Asylum, in Ma- rion street, into the yard of Bishop Hughes. The de- ceased was a bricklayer and was employed in repairing the building, but in consequence of becoming intoxica- ted he was suspended from his work, when he got upon the chimney and falling asleep he fell off, and almost in- stantly expired.

Jacob Connor, Martin Moor, Oliver Powell, Da vid J. Neefus, and Straut were examined as witnesses. The jury returned a verdict of death by causes to them unknown, Unexrectep Srort.—Much amusement wi to many persons yesterday who were pre: Brooklyn Cricket Match, by the appearai | ground of a Xantippe, who rendered hersel worthy ofthe companionship of the notorious Mri dle, by exploits ofa very ludicrous and unbecoming cha- racter. Her liege lord, (an old citizen of Brooklyn, and a gentleman muc med by all whe know him,) had consented to act in a very prominent capacity in the field men and the Star Club, «nd was accosted by his huge umbrella, aimed rudely at his head. Although much surprised, ne doubt, at a hostile attack fi ource, he quietly conti- | aued to dischar responsible duties entrusted to him, until the a ain pounced upon him, wit redou- bled fury, compelling him to beat a seedy ‘retreat, and humbly to cry peccavi. ‘This singular and unexpected interlude puta stop to the play fur several minutes, and & joint committee of the opposing cricketers was depu- | ted to wait upon the fair belligerent, aud prevail upon | her, if possible, to cease *‘ adverse operations” unti down.” Regardless alike of their threats and tu | te and defying the loudly expressed disapproba: tion of the whole tield—she continued to belabor h | poor be pated mate, until he leaped the fence,and thus | coercively abandoned his post of honor.
