The Mackenzie pamphlet continues to be one of the great topics of the day. An edition of fifty thou- s nd copies has already been disposed of at thirty- | seven-wnd-e-half cents each, making an aggregate sum of $18,750, of which about $12,000 may be set down as profit. Not one cent of this has gone into tie pocket of! Mackenzie, according to his own ac- | count. The discussion still goes on in the newspa- | pers relative to the infamy of the publication and the m inoer in whieh Mackenzie got hold of the letters, and the character of the whole transaction. But while that goes on, no doubijthe development of the morals and principles of the New York politicians of the democratic school which it discloses, is produ- Cing a yreat effect in the community, almost as great astiat produced by the famous “ Gleatworth Pa- pers”? In the meantime we give the following statement from Mackenzie himselt relative to the matter, which was published in one of the papers of yesterday, and also another statement from Mr. Bo- girdus Owing to the warm friendship of certain uaturalised citizens, and unknown to me, an application was mace ou my behalf to President Tyler, to his kon Mr. Robert Ty) ler, and to other persons then iaftluential at Washing- tun, furan inspectorship, asituation | could have pro- perly tilled.

Sevural persons have called at my house in Wil- liamsburg to see the original letters. Not one of them is withme. When want they will be tound—many of them--in a neighborhood which the abusive charac- ter who condus he Evening Post would not readily guess. Like the Mirror folks, I thought we were about to havea terrible law broadside, by way of enlightening the Convention next year on matters of jurisprudence, but the peace is as yetunbroken. Mr. Webb, Mr. Ben- nett, Mr. Noah and others, taunt me for the sacrifices [ made in 1837, on bebalf of the extension of the republi- can principle. There was once a press in New York city whica bitterly attacked the immortal Washington, aud called him the “arch traitor.’ Obscure men like me, laboring humbly in the same great cause, may take comfort when slandered in the reflection that that press had its day. W. L.M. As Mackenzie’s book has caused some talk and much comment, | consider it proper to state that in the attic of thei ustom House building were alarge number of boxes conteining the accumulated papers of the Custom House from 1793 to 1886 40 tnese papers reference was re- quired occa-.onally in the business of the office, and ow- jug to .e want of regularity in filing them, frequently Pupers required could not be found after searching box Siver box tor days in succession. I requested the keep- sr of the archives to have all these papers arranged in prover form in pigeon hole cases, and the clerks in that department are yet engaged at that work. Many of the boxes were locded and the keys lost or mislaid ; such boxes | wuthorised the cleras to open by force, and to arrange (he contents in the pigeon holes provided.— Whilst \istributing these papers | was informed that (ey found some letters, applications, &c., to M fz, Swartwoutand Hoyt, late collectors, to be appoint: to office ; these “pape 1 requested the keeper to Secure, and not to allow then to be examimed or disturbed In May last, Mr. Van that it had been intimated to him by a gentleman not counecteu with the Custom House, that amoung the aichives of the office were some important letters addressed to Jesse Hoyt, Esi.,and supposed to nave been lett there by him accientally. At his suggestion | asked the keeper what he koew of the matter, le snowed me @ box, which on a casual examination | tound to coutain oid law pan and some private correspondence, appa- rently of @ character not worth the expense of takiig away. | told him to lock it up and mark it © Mr. Hoy private papers,” and letit remain That box, | am indu- Cod to believe, had not been open many days when | saw it, and [,presume that the “applications for offi have been found elsewhere, aud possibly Vial have discovered letters elsewhere in the buil are 9 few hundred tons of old buvks, letters, aud pap» in the building, which have probably escaped even sedrching propensiues uf Mr. Mackenzie aud other quaries. Whether wll the letters Mackenzie's bouk were found among the public papers of tue Cu-tom House. | ain unable to nay, but i have reason to believe | thet some of the papers. were found there and copied by | him It he took them from the Custom House, nie did so Without tue kuow ledge, suspicion, or approbation of vir. | Vau Ness, the editors of tue Post's insinuation to the contary notwithstanding ‘our very obedieut servant, €.$. BOGARDUS. | According to these accounts, it seems to be pretty | Certain that the character of these private papers was known to other parties before the publica- tion. Mackenzie himself, in his own statement, admits that he was appointed through the friend- ship of the Tylers at Washington, and we have no doubt, notwithstanding his denial, that they had some intimations of this movement. ‘The manner in which the letters were procured, and the mode of publication, are, however, | matters of only very trivial interest to the public at | large. We understand that proceedings have been | instituted tor the purpose of bringing the matter be- | fore the Grand Jury in relation to the appropriation | of the letters by Mackenz‘e and their publication.— Yesterday Mr. Matthew L. Davis was subpeenaed | before one of the police justices on the question,and | it appeared that neither did Mackenzie know him nor did Mr. Davis know Mackenzie, Other per- sons, to the number of twenty or more, have also | received subpernaes, and probably the whole matter will come up before a criminal court of this city ina short time. in the meantime these developments are produ- | eing 4 great effect on the public mind. So far as we are concerned, we have nothing to regret except having been found in such bud company, and which | unfortunate occurrence we will explain as satisfac- torily to the public and to our own conscience, even | te our confessor, Bishop Hughes, if he chooses, as | we have the transactions with Mr. Marcy in 1832 It is true, according to the letters published with { precious good care never again to be caught. We shall go on in the meantime and review the whole of the correspondence, for the benefit of the present age and all future time, and do justice to Martin Van | Buren, John Van Buren, and alithe locotoco leaders, tor we think that amongst the lot there are members | of Congress, Judges, and perhaps some Presidents of the United States, notwithstanding all that has been said. We again call upon Webb of the Courier to pub- | lish our letters in relation to the Marcy movement of 1832, and clear our skirts and his own from all contamination. Moss anp Mormonism —The recent popular out- breaks—the awful deeds of violence and blood— | which are daily perpetrated in Illinois, are disgrace- | ful inthe extreme. When we look at this state | of things in THlinoisin conjunction with anti-rentism inthis State, the conduct of the anti-abolition mob in Kentucky, and various outbursts here and every where, one would suppose that ourgovernmentand the state of society amongst us were going backward. Butitis not so. These local diseases correct them selves,and ure inevitable ina free country,under a po pular form of government. There may be some slight injustice to individual rights in all these ebullitions and explosions in particular localities, but they hav. 4 general effect on the great masses of the people, | which is of a salutary character, and so they work | their own cure in process of time. This is seen al- ready im the anti-rent districts. Reaction has be- gun, The friends of law and order nave beeu alarmed and aroused. The absurd doctrines of Greeley and his compatriots, about the rights ot property, are now scouted by many who formerly were half inclined to swallow them. Throughout all the anti-rent region, the Tribune, and all such in cendiary and revolutionary prints, are execrated by the intelligent and orderly classes. ‘he recent outbreak in Illinois should lead the it- dependent press throughout the country, and all good citizens, to a united and vigorous effort against the spirit of disorganization and rebellion. Let all these attempts to persecute the Mormons, or any class of people, be at once crushed, and covered with indignant rebuke. Tur Epviscora Convention.—The session of this Convention yesterday was very interesting and amusing. Colonel Webb figured quite extensively on the occasion, and was one of the most conspicu- ous representatives of the church militant. We give a full report of the proceedings in another portien of our paper. What a spectacle must such a eonvention as this present to the gaze of the saints in heaven, as they look down on one of these sunny days from their thrones of blessedness! What successors are those assembled in St. John’s Church to the apostles of Jesus Christ! Fighting about abstractions—“ high” and “low church”—and exposing all the delin- quencies of a bishop in his behaviour towards his flock, they do anything but promote the cause of religion in general and Episcopal Christianity in particular. These squabbles amongst the clergy, and the strange develepments of their morals, and repeated deleats in the conflict between carnal emotions and the love of God and practice of virtue, are leading multitudes to the conviction that that portion of the New Testament called “ the gospels” should be taken as the alone rule of faith and prac- tice, and that every man should become his own parson, and avoid the associations of churches and priests and bishops, which lead, it appears, to such wicked and worthless fruits in too many instances. Ustversauity or Journatism—Tue Heraup at over THE Worp.—A singular fact, strikingly illus- trative of the universality of the circulation of the Herald, was recently communicated to us by the Rev. Mr. O'Reilly, the talented and popular Catho- | lic clergyman of Troy. One of his parishioners showed him a letter froma poor Irish female, living amorg the mountains of Cavan, one of the most ob- scure regions of the province of Ulster, in which she bitterly complained of the unkind conduct of a brother in this country, and winding up with the threat that if he did not make speedy atonement for his past neglect and injustice, she would “put him in the Herald, and Mr. Bennett would be sure tosee her righted.” The universality of ourcirculation is well known. In the Sandwich Islands—in the most distant part of the Pacific—in China—all over Europe you can find the New York Herald. It pierces even to the inte- tior of the palace at St. Petersburgh. In all the towns of Germany—at every public place in Italy and France, the Herald is to be found, and now we see Ness informed me ‘at it penetrates even to the hut of the peasant, amid | the mountains of Ireland ! of the present age Such is the journalism Govcu’s Sraremenr—We give in another column, « statement made by J. B. Gough, relative to his recent movements in this city, It corrobo, rates all that has been published about him. The ‘nost important point, however, in the whole affair, the drugged soda water, he most clumsily passes over, us ifafraid to touch it for tear of a fresh exhile- ration fustead of giving the name of the keeper oi the soda fountain, and the exact spot where it was «i- tuated, he oniy states that he should recollect it, it tie should once more see it. This is true, for he wii! probably never put his eyes upon it again, if he eves has. That part of the statement relative to drinking 1 the grocery store, confirms what an acquaintance of ours stated to us the day after Gough was found. This acquaintance saw him drink the brandy, and 4 pretty “stiff horn” it was. It was taken when he was perfectly sane and sober. All that we have published and heard, is thus corroborated by Gough himsel!. Take the confession in all its parts, and it is nothing but a whining appeal after a regular “spree,” and not the straight forward statement that his friends advised him to make. Navat, Arvains.—We have letters from the Coast of Africa,which state that two officers of the James- town are to be court martialed. We suppose, how- ever, that the Secretary of the Navy has to order such a procedure. The Court of Inquiry in the case of Lt. McLaugh- lin, for transcending his power, and doing other things, as is charged, in Florida, is now in session in Washington. Our correspondent will send us the proceedings. Tt is to be hoped that the little spirt with Mexico will tend to rub the rust from the buttons of many of our officers. Those asking furloughs should be cut short in their requests. Giving officers three and six months’ leave of absence after they have been on shore for one, two and three years, is an uanecessary tax upon the people, and ought not to be tolerated. All should be treated as Purser Han- dy has been. One ought not to be singled out, how- ever, in order to letthe others escape. If one pleads sickness, let him be examined, like a leaking tri- gate, and if found in good condition, as many are who obtain leave, let him be sent to sea at once.— Oar little aay would in this way become purified, and filled with good and efficient officers. The most effect ual way of keeping the rust from the officers, would be to fimit their stay on shore to short periods. } jb Para Tucaree.—Last evening was one of the most delightful of the season to those who were fortunate enough tobe at the Perk. Wehadthe pleasure on the previous day of announcing the appearance of Mra. Bland as Pauline. ‘Yo-night we have had the double pleasure of witnessing it. Would that there had been | twice the number to partake of it ; for, we are forced to admit that there were not as many present as we were | led to believe, from the recollection of the brilliant suc- | cess of her previous appearance. Nevertheless, keeping | the great merit of the performance out of view, there | was e fair house, and to make amends for any observable paucity of numbers, there was extreme gratifisation ma- nifested in the reception of this play. We must also add, that much accumen was displayed in the bestowal ofthe plaudits, not one of whieh were squandered, or unsea sonably given. This beautiful play we have frequently noticed, and have had occasion to speak of its cast of characters, on tho Park boards ; as it has been, so it was last night, the onal, alteration being Mr. Bass as Col. Damas, Mr. Bland as Claude, and Mrs. Bland as Pauline. There isa striking i in the acting of both, inthis play, from any we en. ‘There have been beautiful portraitures y given in this cityof the two characters which form the soul of the piece ; excellent as they wore—what we have seen to-night will not inch from comparison with any of them. Mr. Bland might possibly afford to be in the impassioned passages, a little more vehement; thi how is hardly worth mentioning, for a “perriwig | if] not catch hold of this smooth: time. Mr. Bland has only to propriety of laying on his pexcil more boldly, and do it, As to Mrs. Bland’s Pauline, it was admirable, to- wards the close particularly. Her strong antipathy to Beauseaut—her morudcation on finding the state- ly palace by the Lake of Como, transformed into a peasant’s cottage ; wounded pride of the heiress in stern contention with the gentle affection of the wife, and the instructive teachings of nature; her resignation of Claude's as her own mother, and her naive disclosure to Col. Damas of her fidelity to Claude, in the last scene ; all these were painted with a truthfulness and taste, we never expect to see excelled. At present we have but room to say, that the applause was hearty and abundant. On the full of the curtain, it rew loud and long, did not cease until Mr. and Mrs. Giana appesied Defore'the sudlen d the assurance that their effurte were prized most heartily We have great pleasure in announcing Mrs. Bland’s ap- pearance to-night, when she sustains t! art of Julia 1 the ‘ Hunghback,” another of her best characters. Bowrny Tueatke. — The performance last evening al, highly creditable to the corps dramatique, ed, throughout the entire of the evening the most marked applause from a bumper house. The “Black Rangers” was repeated, and was received with increased enthusiasm. Having already noticed the plot, its lead- ing characteristics, which are drawn from the many soul- stirring events connected with our glorious revolution, we de not deem it necessary to enter into a minute criti- cism, recapitulating the merits of the drama; suffice it to siy, that next to “ Putnam.” the “ Black Rangers” bids fai: to have a large run, end will draw, doub'less, exten- sively upon popular favor. There isa strong analogy in some ot its leading features between the two, placing in vivid portraiture betore un American public, those bold and dartug feats of arms that distinguished the leading heroes 0! the revolution, such as must awaken a feeling of nationality iu the breast of every Americana patrivt, aud make him feel proud of his country. Captain Tracy’s daring feat on his beautiful charger Pocahontas, forcibly reminds those who are familiar with “ Putnam,” of a si- mi ing feat on his well-known Black Vulture. ‘The plot was well sustained, and the entire periormance passed off with éclat, The after piece, “ Robin Hood,” wound up the amusements of the evening The cast of characters was respectable. Mr. Scott’s Robin Hood was well sustained, showing a correct conception of the cha- racter of the bold and reckless outlaw. Clark’s Edwin was also well sustained, Castix Ganvex.—The New Yorkers are patrons of real merit—were it not so, Castle Garden would not be nightly filled as it is by a highly fashionable audience to listen and laugh at the funny conceptions of the Bur- lesq: e Opera Company, who sing all the music of the original with an adaptation of words and acting that does not fail to drive away for the time the little caves of hu- man life. Last night they presented “ Shin-de-neel-a,” a burlesque upon Cinderella. Previous to this a vocal con- cert was given by the whole company. To-night we have the same bill. Nino's Ganpen.—Mts, Mowatt and Mr. Crisp had a full house last night. They performed in the comedy o* the “Lady of Lyons, the one in which Mrs. Mowatt firs made her appearance in public. Of the beauties of that piece of acting we need not speak, as they have already been dilated on fully. Mr. Crisp was most happy in his his performance of Claude. To-night they perform in the play of “The Wife.” Paumo’s Orena Hovse.—The Serenaders still draw crowded and fashionable houses nightly. We have so often pronounced eulogiums on their performances, that we can do no more than to again recommend those who | have not heard them, at once to repair and hear their sweet dulcet voices. A Mr. Andorfer is exhibiting an optical gallery in Sa- lem, much to the delight of the good folks there. The Swiss Bell Ringers are drawing crowded houses in Boston. Burton announces Mr. and Mrs. Kean to appear at Theatre in Baltimore, on Monday night next. Jim Crow Rice is in this city, returned after a success- ful tour at the Wes Sporting Intelligence, Trottixa at tHe Usion Covnse, L. 1.—Yesterday there was a very numerous and respectable attendance, to witness the following sport over this track.

Anourtion Riot on tae AtLantic.—We under- stand that Captain Judkins, of the steam ship Cam- bria, one of the Boston and Liverpool mail packets, on her last trip to England, had a negro named Douglass, among the passengers. When half way over the Atlantic, Captain J. brought Douglass for- a osether in order to have an abolition meeting. — | This step, of course, lead tojdifficulty, and as the ne- | &ro abused America and the Americans, there arose {a general uproar. The ladies were much alarmed, and had the Captain persisted in his abolition efforts there would have been a serious riot in the midst of the ocean’s roar, and the negro tossed to the sharks.

Spencer, the Chairman of the Committee of the 20 to whom was referred the reso- lutions passed by the Church of Ascension, and who were to take into consideration the state of the Diocese, and report what means were proper to pursue in the present emergency, rose and read the report of the majo- rity on the subject, which is as follows : MAJORITY REPORT. The Committee to which was referred the report of the Trustees of the Episcopal Fund, the proceedings of Grace Church, Jamaica, and certain resolutions offered by the delegates from the Church ofthe Ascension, New York, and which Committee was also instructed to take into consideration the state of the Diocese, and report what measure, if any, is necessary or expedient for the Convention to adopt at this time, respectfully REPORT: Tho report of the Trustees of the Episcopal Fund pre- sents two distinct subjects for the action of the Conveu- ion. One of them, which the Committee propose to con- sider first, relates to the act of incorporation of the Trus- tees, which passed the Legislature of this State at the last session, and a copy of which is submitted by them. The act appears to be well adapted to the object, and the Committee nominated to this Convention do accept the same, and do direct the transfer of the funds in the hands of the Trustees to the Corporation created by that act A resolution for that purpose is herewith submitted. The other subject referred to by the Trustees is the disposition of the income of the disposable fund in their hands, which accrued since the 3d day of January last, amounting to $1766 79, and the parent of which they have withheld from Bishop Onderdouk, in consequence of the sentence of suspension by the Court of Bishops, as the application of the income of this fund forms in part of the system of ures recommended by your Com- mitteo; the disposition which they propose to make of it will appear in a subsequent part of this report. Connected with this subject is a fact which is infera- bie from the present report of the Trustees of the Epi copal Fand, as well as from those which have been mude for the last four or five years, which is that the pledge given by the Convention of this Diocese, in 1836, ani renewed in 133, that the income arising from a principai sum of $90,000, should be applied to the suppuit of the Bishop, has not been fulfi had time to make the necessary examinations, which would enable them to si ith accuracy the exact amount of these arrears; but it is believed they have exceeded $800 in each year, for the last four or five ‘here is no difficulty in ascertaining the precise ; time only bein ry to compare the re Ports of the Trusiees. The Committee are unanimously and decidedly of opinion, that these arrears shoul, witout delay, be made up to Bishop Onderdonk, upon | the principle that he was entitled to the full income ot $90,000, irrespective of donations or provisions froin other sources, at the rate of 7 percent per annum, to | the 3d day of January, 1845; and they Lerewith report a | resolution, instructing the Trustees of the Episcopal | Fund accordingly. According to the instructions of the Convention, the Diocese. They and the whole Diocese now practicaily and mournfully realise the solemn truth of the maxi: that there cau be no church without a Bishop The Churches, Societies, and individuals of our Communion are daily suffering for the want of Episcopal acts, our childrea cannot be confirmed, our church edifices cannot be consecrated, ministers cannot be installed aud set- tled, clergymen cannot be ordained—in the flock i+ without a shepherd, a condition of things which no word: can magnify.

Jonw C, Srencea said that he understood that there was a report prepared by a Minority Commit tee, who disegreed with the majority, and he would move that the report of the minority be now read. Dr. Wuitenouse asked leave to present the report of the minority. i Pursinent—te the House ready to receive the report ? Aye by the whoie House except one member; whe luatily oried out No. Dr. Wairenouse then read the following report of the | K 1 | minorit, NORITY REPORT ON TITY STATO OF THE DIoCRSK. 1 jo ualersig ‘ed minority of the Committee to whom was referred the secret papers relating tothe Rt Rev B.

O. s to Jan 3, 1849, should be at once faithfully paid, ac cording to the pledge of the Convention, allowing to the Niocesan for the time being, the interest of the principal 1m of $90,000. They also hold th: from some source or yr, the church of this Diocese should make honorable p.ovision for the comfortable maintenance of Bishop, in the event of hisretirement from the office. But ; ° shop 0 this Dio- cess, or that if he be not so, that any arbitration portion onthe income of that should be diverted from the specific object, the support of the Episcopate of this Diocese. And further, thatin no form and in ne ground, could they join iu recommending alterations of the canons, in- structions of delegates, or measures having for their object the procuring ao assistant, or suffrage Bishop for that Diocese. Thus recording their dissent from the whole tenor of the majority, the minority are bound briefly to express their own view®. @o all the questions invelved inthe several resolutiong @f the repert just received, the mi- nority consider that the differences of opinion are too great in this convention to allow the suggestion of any action, or any ferm of expressing that action, which can expected to unite a sufficient number for an ithorhtative resuit.

Kiva then moved that the report of the majo- rity be laid on the table, aud that the Convention take up the minority report. ‘Jxo. C. Srencen said that the motion was a most extra- ordinary one, and that it was not debateable; that aCom- mittee had been appointed to report, and Several members rose to address the Convention,when Mr. King hoped the gentleman would withdraw his pro- position. Jno. C. Srencen—I renew it—I renew it, Sir. Joun A. Kina —When I made this proposition, | made it in good faith, hoping— “Order—order.” President's hammer going violently, and drowning the voices. Judge Durr would like to know if the Chairman of| the Committee of tho Majority consents that the majori- ty report be laid on the tabl», and the minority report debated If they consent, the Convention must take that course; but if it were the individual motion of tho| Chairman, he would vote aj ist it. ‘Srencer hoped that the usual course woul: be taken; he was surprised at the motion of the gentle is Bishop's fund a body politic not ready for the motion, but propos. ed that the two reports be ‘eves this evening, and tha’ the Convention adjourn till to-morrow morning at ter} e’clock. A member objects, as there are a number of gentle man present who have come froma distance, aud whq must be home by Sunday; and unless they can get hom by thatday, great inconvenience will be occasioned ty many. He would therefore urge that the subject be pro ceeded with to-night. ‘A member enquired of this act of incorporation wa procured under the direction ofthe Convention. Yer. Judge Dvrn.—-The act says, that the fund in questio must be applied to the support of the Episco) f thi diocese. He would like to enquire how far thi responds with the design fur which this fund wi oatly intended, for, if it varies, he would object t ceptance. No. ©. Srexcen.—It is difficult to answer the gentl: man’s question—-but he entertains no doubt on the su ject himself. Judge Durr presumes that the Trustee who drew ti resolution is capable of giving the information. ‘The resolution was then read accepting the act of i corporation, and passed unanimowsly. The next resolution which was attached to the repo that the Trustees of the Episcopal Fund be directed settle the arrears of the salary due the Bishop upon ti principle that he is entitled to the interest of $90,000. Mr Kerenum would make a verbal amendment to t resolution, where it speaka of peying to the Bishop, tt it should read “pay tothe Right Rev. T. Onderdonk Bishop of this Diocese.” The following resolution was then offered :— Resolved, That the proceedings ef the Standing Co mittee were highly creditable, and that the expenses paid out of the kpiscopat Fund. Judge Oaxxey did not intend to make on the subject, but he wished to proj ter remely—that the [third cause (w is no Bishop,) provides that given by the standing committee to other Bishops, 1 question lies in a literal construction of that where itsays there is no Bishop, it means there Bishop capable of performing his functions ; if power of passing this resolution empowering the cc mittee to call in the aid of other Bish has the power to ie e of the Bishop of Penns whole houre.J {Langhter by the joHN C.
