.—The prosperity of the theatres since the present season has commenced, is the sub- ject of general remark. It has, indeed, been most extraordinary. Every place of amusement has been crowded. The minor theatres have been doing an excellent business. Niblo’s under admirable management has had a wonderfully prosperous sea- son, and still in the full tide of success, will close with a new comedy written for Mrs. Mowatt. The Bowery has been crowded night after night, and its treasury was never in a more flourishing condition. So great, indeed, has been the revival in theatricals in this city, that the attention of capitalists begins to be directed to investments in dramatic property.— Moses Y. Beach, the celebrated financier of Fulton street, has, we understand, loaned money to two of the theatres in this city, forthe purpose of patronizing and encouraging the drama. This is exceedingly creditable to Moses. He had already given evidence of his intense desire to benefit society by contribu- tions to churches and religious societies, with the saudable design, we doubt not, of supplying “ the stated preaching of the gospel” to this wicked gene- ration. Now he stands forth in the character of a patron of the fine arts, Shakspeare and the drama. But the Park Theatre has experienced a revival that is beyond precedent. The engagement of the Keans was profitable in the highest degree. And the debut ot Miss Deley was the commencement of another brilliant period in the season. She has made a most extraordinary impression. Her sing- ing, acting, beauty, fascinating manner are the theme of universal remark. She came here with a NEW YORK HERALD. New York, Monday, September 29, 1845, Supplement to the Herald. We publish a Supplement this morning, with the Saturday’s proceedings of the Episcopal Conven- tien, and advertisements. It is for city subscribers only. ‘The Butler and Hoyt Correspondence—Po. ltteal History of the last Twenty Years. ‘The excitement created by the publication of the private correspondence given to the world by Mac. kenzie, still continues to increase. This 1s not strange. The conduct and character of men who have figured more or less extensively in the politics of this State and of the Union, have been thus brought before the public, in a manner calculated in a remarkable degree to stimulate curiosity and speculation—partizan malignity, personal vindic- tiveness, and the innate depravity of human na- ture, have had fresh materials from which to elaborate abuse, calumny, and irritating remark,— philosophic men who look coolly and calmly on men and things around them, have been furnished with new and piquant details over which to laugh or to mourn—whilst the manner of the publication it- selt, and the conduct of the parties concerned in it, now the subject of investigation by the officers of criminal justice, contribute in no mean degree to give zest to the appetite, with which the public de. vours these disclosures, and to add intensity to the | excitement which they have created. | very exalted reputation, and she has fully realized We have gone into this matter in a philosophic, | the anticipations which had been formed of her instructive and entertaining manner, correcting | talents.

Van Burenism has nota leg tostand on. Like Napo- leon and the old Manhattan water-works up town, it has fulfilled its destiny. What is to succeed it, it is not very easy just now to tell. Political organi- zations are at this moment in a state of transition. New elements have been evolved. New influeaces are at work. The whole machinery of politics is Very Late From Hayt1.—The Wm. Nelson, apt. Scott, arrived yesterday from Port au Prince, whence she sailed on the 14th inst. We have re- ceived by her our regular files of the Feuille du Commerce. On the 5th inst. a Haytien man of war captured two of the Dominican schooners of war off the east | end of the island. Afiairs at Port au Prince were quiet when the W. N. sailed.

One new feature in the signs of the times is too remarkable and too interesting to be overlooked. It is this. Until recently the politicians controlled and ruled the newspaper press.

Sporting Intelligence. Peprstrianism.—The footrace of two miles, for $1100, between Jackson, the American Deer, and Wm. Barlow comes off to-day at three o’clock on the Beacon course, Hoboken. This is to be succeeded by a trotting match between John Anderson and Lady Washin ‘ton.

City Intellig Tue Arrroacuine Ravicat Co: days from this, will be commenced, at Clinton Hall, under the auspices of the venerable Robert Owen, one ofthe most extraordinary conventions that ever met in this city: i ‘ all that have gone be- ingularity, startling propositions, and radical tendencies. It wi aim at Bio lon than a complete destruction of the present system of society, and upon its ruins a building of the new social fabric, which, in the eyes of the new philosophers, isa temple whose gates are of pure gold, and whose inner walks are more beautiful than ever before the fruitful mind of man imagined. These philosophers addrgss themselves to all classes of society; to the rich nnd to the poor alike The rich are told thatthe new world will open to them reater advantages for mental, moral, and intellectual appinesss and enjoyment; while. at the same time, the beau of a home,,and all the attendants upon a home, shall bloom around them, rendered far more Peautiful by the new light that shines upon them. The poor are told that in the new world their poverty, physical cares, and and degradation shall cease to trouble them; and that, under the full blaze of the new social sun, they shall warm into happiness, wealth and peace. And all the i low, rich,’ poor, young and old, are ‘by these philosophers, sometimes ‘in the roug! atical calculations and statistical tables, and sometimes in the honied words of eloquence, painting all the beauties of a Paridise blooming around them. All crime, all poverty, all misery, all care, say these philosophers, will cease with the introduction of our new system. The light of science will, for the first time, dawn upon the world, and lead all into the puths of learning, virtue and happiness. Well, truly, these are comfortable assertions. A reasonable prospect of a mil- lennium is one not to be at all regretted, but on the con- trary hailed with joy. But the idea of such a happy state of things being caused by a mere change in the outward conditions thrown around the man (which is the manner in which these philosophers propose to do it—-the idea of this great world, which has been rattling along through th ‘erse for so many thousand years in its own track, being suddenly transfor: into a heave: improbable to say the ‘east, in the eye of the true philo- sopher. Not by any sudden blow is this planet to be turned out of its course. Not by any one specific, (an “Morrison’s Pill,” as Carlyle quaintly has it) is the whole outward appearance and inward life of this world and its inhabitants to be changed from what it now ° Slowly and surely, from the first dawning of time, up to the present, has this world progressed, and slowly and surely until the last faint ray of twilight shall be tinguished, shall it continue its onward course. These little mushroom movements will not hasten it—they are but as flies upon a mill-wheel—but as seconds in the boundless ocean of eternity. The leader of this new movement is Robert Owen, man who, for the last fifty years has labored incessantly in this cause. His honesty no one will deny, ent a fortune in experi- nts,and althoug! has not been very great, zeal and hope ig ver on his venerable count Altogether this will be one of the most curious Conventions ever held. It will be com- posed of philosophers, savans, and singular people from wll partsfof the country. All'the miseries of life will bo taken up, discussed, and disposed of. Tue Ropuray ov Mx.

Is the time come when all are prepared to abandon the local prejudices forced on their minds by their individuai education? I think the world is greatly prepared to abandon them. ‘The trial will be made, at this Convention; it will be seen whether the eternal laws of nature will not tri- umph over them. All that will be required of us will be that we all openly and for ever abandon these errors; they are but three; we are but to change them, and abandoning three palpable errors, adopt three truths. The advocates of all religions under the sun will now discover the reason of the failure of their objects; they willsee that the disunion between man and man is fatal tothem. The time has arrived for the priests of all re- ligions to abandon those mysterious tenets on which none will ever agree, and at once to unite in teaching their pupils the essence and spirit of all religions, viz. charity towards all who differ from them.

At the conclusion of this address a collection was taken up to defray expenses, and Mr. Owen made a further address, after which they separated. Dr. Busn’s Discourse at tHe Society Linxany— Lasr Evenino.—A dense congregration filled up every available place in this chamber last evening long before the hour appointed for the service of the evening. The avenues in the immediate vicinity were also thronged, and a bevy or two of some of the light fingered gentry could be discovered in the hall, apparently anxious to have adive into some of the tempting reticules which were passing in. By far the greater proportion of the congregation consisted of ladies dressed in the very pink of feshion. At 74 o’clock, Dr. Bush commenced the service of the even‘ng by reading a hymn from the 3rd Selection “Glo- ry, &c.,” Which was chaunted by the congregation, acy companied by the organ. After which he offered up a prayer invoking the blessings of heaven and for the rege neratiou and happiness of his flock. ‘The congregation then sung the 208th Selection. He then commenced hia discourse by alluding to the doctrine of Sweden- borg, by which it became a question—did the Scripture recognise a race of beings spiritual and aboveman? ‘They ought not reject it, nor ought a mere ice against Swedenborg induce them to reject it. the case in relation to the doctrine of the resur- . This was confirmed by the Saviour, as he said \d touched such bodies and there was no proof of de jusion upon it. It is well known that the term angel im pliee a messenger, and man, while discharging that ser- vice, was as much an angel as the angel itself. Ifa man be an angel on earth, his spirit is an angel in Heaven.— There is nothing inconsistent in the idea that those we call angels are human spirits in an uncreated state. The spirits of evil were legions of fallen spirits under the in- fluence of the devil. All the angels reso ve themselves, as they saw in certain passages in the scripture ; the Scripture was perfectly explicit on this sub. ject, and their existence was not to be donbt- ed. There were several instances to be found in the Scripture, showing the existence of the tailen angels. This was to be found both in the oli and new Tes'ameots. {n connexion with this he coold instance the mauy pas- sages to be found in the Scriptures in relation to Sovan and Gomorrah, showing that aagels were men. The +m of pride vad origiaally caused the full of the aagels, anu this ought to warn ‘the Christian community against pride ; but it also referred to fornication and the other sins which the Christian world were guilty of. ‘The Old Testament had made allusion to the sons of God who had been seduced by the daughters of men, and having sinned produced a race of yiants that eventually brought on, by their transgressions, the deluge.

To be sure, the fall of man, it was contend- ed, was brought about by the temptation of evil spirits, which showed the existence of evil spirits long before the fall of man. He contended that the evil spirits which were cast out by the Saviour, in the performance of his miracles, were human spirits, and Swedenborg’s teach- ing affirmed The objects which Swedenvorg affirs the other world, he (Dr. B.) could not he had seen ; but, the doctrine he had je and worthy of consideration by the reflecting Christian. Angels, according to Sweden: borg, were the spirits of men who were once clothed in human nature. Swedenborg told us he had seen them, talked with them, and conversed with them. An angel was a being bearing the likeness of God and man, called aman in his material body, was called an angel when divested of that body. They were a superior race of men, that had fallen irom their original purity, and those who were skeptical had no reliance upon Fait. Angels were also called men in Scripture. Lot called the three angels that came to Sodom, * men.” The Angel Gabriel was called the “ Man Gabriel” in the Scriptures, and in us other passages angels were called men, and he jieved they were men who had been disembodied be In his concluding remarks, the Rey.

The Galveston Civilian has the following, furnished by a gentleman who has travelled in Mexico over the route he describes: The Atlantic and Pacific may be connect- ed by the waters of the Rio Guassecualco and the Bay of Tahuantepec, on the Pacific. This river runs into the Gulf between Vera Cruz and the mouth of the Tobasco river ; it is now navigated with bungos of several tons burthen from u point only fourteen leagues distant from the waters of the Bay of Tehuantepec to the mouth on the Gulf of Mexico. The people convey hides and in with such articles of traffic as they have, from the ne! borhood of Tehuantepec, Zanatipec, and other towns ad- jacent, and the trip is made down in less than two days; they then return with their boats. From the Bay or the Pacific, to the river Guassecualco is pastiys dead level.

The people on the frontier at San Antonio and other places in that region, are much displeased at the position taken by the U.S. troops at Corpus Christi, for without a force at San Antonia of several hundred men, the whole country is leftexposedjto Indians and Mexicans from the upper Rio Grande. ‘Two candidates were already named for the office of Governor, General Rusk, who was the President of the Convention for forming the Constitution, and General James Pinckney Henderson. On the subject of the circular issued by our Secretary of the Treasury, Mr. Walker, intended to prevent the shipment of debenture goods to Texas from the United States, with the intention of returning the same, free of duty, after annexation shall have been completed, the National Register says :— i “Importations from Europe, into Texas direct, cannot fall within the scope of the circular alluded to ; for it is not to be presumed that the government of the United States would deny the right of the merchant to make such direct importations, and thus deprive Texas of her lawful revenues ; nor is it to be presumed that they would, after annexation, by retroactive law, prohibit the introduction of the property of the Texian merchant into any of their ports. As well might they undertake to confine the locomotion of the Texian citizen within the present limits of the Republic.” é It is stated by the Arkansas Intelligencer, published at Van Buren, of the 6th instant, that numbers of persons had passed through that place on their way to and from Texas, who had been and were going to see the country and select homes for themselves there. A party of gen- tlemen, residents of Van Buren, had also starved with the intention of travelling over ‘the greater part of the (about to be) new State, with the view of selecting suita- ble locations to settle on. [From New Orleans Picayune, Sept. 20.] The company of the U. 8. troops which was remanded to Baten Rouge, for the protection of the arsenal, has re- ceived renewed orders from head-quarters for Texas. It isexpected that a company of the Sth Regiment will arrive soon and be stationed at Baton Rouge in place of the former. We learn from our private correspondence that the steam frigate Mississippi sailed from, Pensacola on the the 16th instant, bound, it is supposed for Aransas Bay. ‘The whole squadron is now in the Gulf, save the frig Potomac.

From Washington Union, Sept. 26.] Despatches as late as the 14th instant have been re- ceived from General Taylor, but they contain no impor- tant information. Arista had been at Mier, but not a companied with a military force ; nor was thero any in- dication of the concentration of a Mexican force on the Rio Grande. From Galveston Civilian, Sept. 6.] The Texian revenue schooner Alert, Capt. Sympton, arrived this morning, from Corpus Christi, which place she left on Friday evening. Another company of sixty Mexican traders was in when the Alert left. They seemed very friendly and confiding in the good intentions of the troops towards them. They report that no important additi made to the mili i ni The Mexicans are withent money or supplies, and deser- tion takes place as fast as impressments. Gen. Arista, \s said, contemplates no movement against Texas, and would not undertake one, if ordered with the means wow or likely to be under his command. The best ac- counts place the regular force at Matamoras, at less than one thousand men. From others, however, it would seem to be larger. A Mexican who came into Corpus Christi, informed a merchant there that 2,500 men had been marching from Tampico for Matamoras—that 400 men had died on the way, and three hundred were still sick. Whether the remainder had reached Matamoras our informant did not seem to understand. >everal de- serters, Mexicans, came into Corpus} Christi with the Mexican traders. No Indians have been discovered of late in the neigh- borhood of Corpus Christi The American troops enjoyed remarkable fine health —but sixteen we understand, being on the sick list. The fort and buildings of Col. Kinney have been pur- chased for the use of the United States, and are now oc- cupied, we believe, by the General and staff. Capt. Bell’s company of Texan Rangers number about fifty men, and is said to be better organised and provided forthan ever. From their knowledge of the country. and of Mexican and Indian warfare, they are regarded as auseful and necessary adjunct to the forces undor Gen. Taylor. A letter from Corpus Chrsti, dated August 30, says :— A Mexican just from the Rio Grande, reports that the whole extent of country between Laredo and Matamo- ras, on the east side of the river, is full of commissioned parties, sent out in consequence of the increase of trade, to intercept and cut off all parties passing to and from this place. Tu Constitution or Texas.—We glanced at some of the peculiarities of the new constitution of Texas, terday; to-day we must conclude the subject by men- tioning a few other provisions. It provides that the ordinance passed by the Convention on the 4th day of July last, assenting to the overtures for the Annexation of Texas to the United States, shall be attached to the Constitution, and form a part of the same. This must be continually borne in mind, as the creation of new States is therein provided for. The city of Austin is assigned as the seat ot Rote: ment until 1860, after which itis tobe located by the people, by a vote to be taken in March, ina mode pont- ed out. ‘The Supreme Court has appellative juris the district courts have jurisdiction both in law ~ on only; de: ty; and in all cases in equity, either party may claim a trial by jury The pard jing power is vested in the Executive, ex- treason and impeachment. ‘The Gover the veto power, qualified, however, as in ed States Constitution In no case can the Legislatu: uthorise the ie of treasury warrants or tr ry notes, or paper of any de- scription, to circulate as money. ‘The Legislature has power to protect by law, from acertain portion of the property of all heads of families.

Taxation is to be uniform throughout the State ; the Legislatnre may pass an income tax, and it may exempt from taxation $200 worth of the household furniture or other property belonging to each family in the State ‘The Legislature cannot contract debts to exceed in the aggregate the sum of $100,000, except in case of war, to repel invasions, or suppress insurrections ; and in'no case shall ay amount be borrowed, except by a vote o! two-thirds of both Houses of the Legislature. In conclusion, we copy entire the provisions of the proposed Constitution in regard to slave: Ske. 1 —The Legislature shall have no power to pass laws for the emancipation of slaves, without the consent of their owners, nor without paying their wners, previ- ous to such emancipation, a full equivalent in money, shall have no power for the slaves so emancipated.

Williams’, the head.quar. ters ofthe Anti-Mormons. About four miles ot it I passed the ruins of some four or five buildings, the re sidences of Mormons, which had been burned down on t) 1¢ day pre- vious. ‘They were still blazing and smoking . General- ly, the houses of the Mormons were small loj ; buildings, of but little intrinsic value ; but some of th.e ruins [| passed weee of the better class of large log houses. At the site of @me, there stood the stacks of thr ee chimneys, In every instance the chimneys were sta! iding monu- ments ofthe ruin and devastation a:ound t? em. A mile or so further oa, I witnessed the “process of de- stroying the houses. The anti-Mormoms,as<the best means: of driving the Mormons away, hav‘e resélved to burn down all their dwellings, but at the same ‘time manifest a proper anxiety not to inflict injury upom the sick, and not to destroy any moveable prope: ed or any of the grain orcrops. In this they are careful, and, [ believe, where the contrary has been the cas », been acci- dental. On arriving at a place called St.ting ‘town—a num- ber of Mormon residences being built’ a long the road, each heving attached to ita small farm--in tke lane in front of ore of these buildings were about . twenty armed inen, on horseback, drawn up.

U™U fora moment lit up the faces of his family, at the sugy.°*- tion that the logs being green, would not burn; but it was only momentary, for soon it was all in a blaze. From this place, the armed party passed over to the Bear Creek Settlement, and soon the ascending columns of black smoke told that the work of destruction was go- ing on. In various other directions the ascending smoke gave notice that other parties were out. As far as I can ascertain, from a free conversation with persons enga- ged, there have been destroyed—including those burned in the Morley Settlement—between 70 and 100 houses All have been swept in the Morley Precinct, and be- tween 20 and 30 ruins may be seen ina short ride in this vicinity. In many cases, the loss has not been great Dut in deprivation imposed on the unheppy residents, it hes been heavy. From the seene of burning at Stringtown, 1 went tor Col. Williams’, the head quarters of the: anti-Mormon: party. We met a number of armed men at varfots ouses which we passed on the way, and at Colonel Wil- here were a number, but the larger portion of the rty engaged in this business, were out en scouts, working with \who was as they call those parties sent out to burn down the buildings. Col. Williams, Col etn and several others, whom I met and conversed with, are old men, and for many years have been citizens of the county. They are respectable men, and some of there have filled high official stations, but in their opposition to the Mor- mons they are irrevokably fixed. Those with th were determined looking men. I regretted to_noti among the number, several youths and two small boy All breathe but one spirit—that is, that one party or other must leave, and any means are justifiable to drive the Mormons away. About eleven o’clock, a couple of gentlemen drove up, in great haste, and announced that Mr. Backonstos, the sheriif of the county, was in the prairie near the camp with five hundred arined men, Instantly there was a call toarms. Those who had horses were despatched to cal in the scouting parties, whilst a small company on foot were marched through the woods to the praitie. An en- gagement seemed to be inevitable, and [ expected to see u little bit ofa fight. I soon reached the prairie, and got in a position to have a near and good view of the conflict. As I belonged to another parish, and was not in any way identified with the parties, | felt no uneasiness and was not so much interested in the result as the active parti- zans on the ground. Upon getting my station, | saw Backenstos, with about two hundred mounted men, well armed, approach- ing from the north-west, on the roul to Nauvoo. His men were well mounted, and, backed by sufficient cour- age, ought to have done efficient service. He was march- ing in the open prairie, in the direction of the burning buildings on Bear Creek. Information of the approach of Backenstos had been sent to the scouts engaged in firing these buildings, and they hud to return b, a road eross- ing the Nauvoo road at rightangles. The soouts and a number of others from Col. Willams’, soon appeared on ahill,each having the other in full’ view, separated a hundred yards ormore.

Some of the Anties tuok to the corn fields, while the horsemen followed the road they were on, through a lane—seme returning tocamp, and some tak- ing the nearest route home, or (o thick woods. Backen- ‘stos’ men marched up to the foot of the lane, wher. they mate a sudden halt.

His posse of 200 were a por- tion of the 600. I do not believe it is the intention of Backenstos, or of his men, to give the Anties a fight. In fact, | began to believe there is no such word im the Mor- mon dictionary as courage. Men who will snffer their houses te be burned down in broad day, and in their own ht, and will not fight to protect them, a particle of courage. In the evening, { returned to Col. Williams’ camp, where I found many of the heroes of the day’s conflict. It was amusing to listen to the accounts, apologies, and various versions given of the affair. No two agreed in all particulars, and not one run from any fear of the con- sequences'to himself. I reached Warsaw about dark. The Twelve Elders, or principal men of the Mormons, have addressed a proposition to th which was received this evening, and which, I trust, may put a final end to this war. The Twelve propose that they will leave Nauvoo, and the county, next spring, provided hos- tilities are suspended, and the vexatious suits whieh they charge the auties to have instituted against them. are withdrawn, and they are allowed peaceably to di pose of their property, and prepare for their removal — They have appointed a commi of five, to correspond with a committee of an equal pber on the part ot the old settlers.
