N-wW YORK HERALD. New York, Monday, Octobrr 6, Is45. repean Yo Afairs=Des' We give on our first page a few brief extracts from prominent British journals, illustrative of the opi- | nions entertained in Europe about the United States —the policy of our government and the destiny of the Republic. The article quoted from the Globe is) very significant. It is indeed something new to find a British journalist, who ranks amorgst the most de- voted supporters of monarchical government,not only | admitting with such frankness, the greatness and moral influence of this country,but actually exposing and refuting the absurd reasoning by which one of | its contemporaries attempts to convince the world | that the fabric of republicanism in the United States | is absolutely rotten, and must, ere long, tumble into | fragments. We want no better evidence of the | mighty revelution in popular opinion that has taken | plice on the other side of the water, in favor of free government, tin this very article which we have extracted trom the Globe. | The calumniators of America and every thing | American, in Great Britain, have had their day.— Wholesale and lying abuse of this country is no lon- ger swallowed by the masses. Ever since the close of the last war,the moral influence exercised by the Uni- ted States on the popular mind of Europe, has 31 | dily increased with the growth of the country in po- | pulation, wealth, commercial greatness, and gene: | ral prosperity. Year after year, the nmagnificen, | spectacle of a free people, living in peace, order and happiness—subduing immense territories from sa- vage wildness—converting mighty solitudes, si. lent since the flood, into the cheerful abodes of civi sized industry—with their own unaided, but un- shackled energies, laying from one extremity of the continent’ to the other, the foundations of the migh- tiest empire the world has yet seen—raising up in a few years cities, which in extent, splendor, and busi- prosperity, rival ihe most favored marts of Eu- rope—projecting and successfully completing public | works ot the most gigantic magnitude—securing to all classes ot society an equal and ample share ot the blessings of just and righteous government,—has | been present to the eyes of the European people; | and yenr after year, with added force, has the sub- | lime lesson which this spectacle conveys,sank deep- | er and deeper into their hearts. Filled with terror and alarm at this triumphant success of republican principles, the interested supporters of ancient des- potism, have unceasingly assailed the United States with misrepresentation, ridicule and slander. Mer- eznary and bigotted tourists have poured forth vol} ume after volume, filled with splenetic and peevish calomniation of our social manners and customs. Oar legislation—our literature—our press our na- tional characteriztics—have been the fruitful themes on which the British reviewers and journalists have belehed forth, from month to month and from year to year, their virulence, prejudice, malignity and | slander. But all has failed. That glorious vision | ot tree and happy America forever haunts the wea- ried souls of the down-trodden millions of Europe A great ract is ever before theireyes. Free Amer- ica is prosperous America. So always, night and | day, to the ears ot the white slaves of Britain, | comes the message of deliverance and welcome | from this side of the ocean. To the sickly opera. tive in those dingy, prison-like edifices where un- natural toil is robbed of its reward, that message | comes. In the disturbed dreams of starving men | and women in the hour of darkness and despair, that m-s-age comes. Above the piercing wail of | chil ren crying sloud for bread, is heard the clear, bold voice of that messenger of liberty from the land beyond the sea. And when royalty, or nobili- | ty sweeps pastin all the pomp and pride of successful | Oppression ; whilst fierce men—grim images ot po- verty and despair,—clench their hands and scowl on the passing pageant, that message is again heard, and now, mingled with it, dark mutterings of terrible revenge. In vain may the journalists of Great Britain en- | deavor to counteract the influence thus exercised by the example of the United States—the practical *) preva | ted States, to hear il from the North Pole to Cape Horn. And to a fitting sense ot this destiny the American people are now awa- kening. Tne horizon of patriotism 1s widening every day. Men begin to leok above and beyona the mere party squabbles of the hour. Trading poli- ticians are more generally estimated at their proper value. The minds of the great masses of the re- public begin to be impressed with a more becoming sense of the duty of American citizens as soldiers of freedom. So general and influential is this sen- timent, that if to-morrow Mexico should strike 9 hostile blow against this country, thousands of vo- lunteers would at once embark in an expedition which would never stop tillthat wretched nation was subjected to the salutary influence of our free institutions and superior civilization. Let the pre- sent administration think of these things, and let the message of the President, and the foreign policy of the government, be of that character which fideli. ty to the cause of freedom and the republic demands; and which will give fresh proof to the people and | governments of Europe that we know our destiny, and are prepared to fulfil it, like men worthy of the glorious trust which has been committed to our hands. Tux Hoty Ross or Treves Orroone.—The world hasbeen astounded and astonished, and thunder- struck and electrified, for some time past, by the miraculous properties of the Holy Robe of Treves, which has had such an important agency in bringing on the “‘new reformation” in Germany. We think we can parallel that miraculous affair by a case in this city. We allude to a miraculous statue which has been discovered in Italy, by the American Con- sul at Genoa, and brought at great trouble and ex- pense to this country for the purpose of creating a religious revolution here. This “statty” is now ac- tually in this city of New York, the metropolis of the United States of North America, and is exhibit- ing in some room in Broadway, up a few pair of stairs, at the low cost of twenty-five cents a-head.— Its wonderful history and miraculous qualities are certified to in the following note, which we find in a paper of Saturday last :— Serr, 25th, 1845. warps Lester, Esq.— j I was very glad, on my late return to the Uni- that you had consented to exhibit your wonderful statue of Christ. After seeing the artist who ma a number oftimes, and knowing all the facts of its history, it still seems incredible to me, that a rand humble monk, who had never studied or prac tised the art of sculpture should have.under the guidance of his own genius and apparently a divine impulse, pro- duced a work which is regarded by all the artists and amateurs who saw it in Italy, Superior to every other of its kind inthe world—even in the city of Genoa, where Fra Nicolo wrought this statue, it was regarded as little Jess than miraculous. It is perfectly certain, to my own knowledge, that this statue was cut by a monk who had no education in the arts or sciences, and who had never before made any work of art whatever. When it was first exhibitedin the Academy of Arts at Genoa, it wi visited by thousands with astonishment—for these facts were incontrovertible to all. There seems to have been but one opinion on the infin | ite superiority of this Christ over any other known to | exist, both in sizeand workmanship. Iam glad you re- | fused any price whatever for it, that it might be brought | to our own country, and exert a powerful infl the popular mind—elevating the ti and exalting our conceptions of the of the divine form. 1am, sir, with great consideration, Your obed'’t servant, BERNARD GRAHAM, No 20 Greenwich st. We have no doubt after this certificate from “Ber- nard Graham, of No. 20 Greenwich street,”—a pious Catholic, we believe, and one of the most exquisite connoisseurs in the fine arts of the day—that hosts of pious pilgrims, from all parts of the country, even to the foot of the Rocky Mountains, will come down 'o New York and visit this miraculous “statty,” made without hands, or chisel, or human mind.— The probability, indeed, 18, that this “statty” will produce an extraordinary new reformation in the United States—bring forth another Ronge—and far surpass in the number, greatness and glory of its miracles, any holy robe of Treves, or holy breeches, orholy any other thing, that has created such a commotion in Germany. Cc. Sir Turatricais.—The drama has been as success- ful as usual during the past week. Opera at the Park | —melodrama and tragedy at the Bowery—comedy at Niblo’s—have been all well patronised. The en- | gagement of Miss Delcy has been exceedingly pro- pitious—still more so, perhaps, in regard to her re- and triumphant success of the glorious principle of man’s capacity for self-government. The intelli- | gence and common-sense of the European masses now scout with the utmost disdain the idea thata | republican form of government is dangerous—ini- | snieal to the preservation of society in peace and or- der—and prejudicial to the individual happiness and | p‘osperity of those who yield themselves to its sim- pl, economical, and practicable rule. Everybody now knows better. It was ali very well for the advocates of monarchical government to take occa- | sion from the scenes of blood and horror which at- | tended that mad outburst of infuriated men, smart- ing under amulated wrongs, and unprincipled | demagogues, seeking only the gratificatiou of their | evil passions—the Freneh revolution of 1796—to de- claim aga'nstthe danger and impracticabihty of re- publeanism. But when the attempt is now made to represent the experiment here,as a signal f.1'ure, the common sense of the masses of Europe only laughs at those who gravely engage in such an ef- fort. And thus already we perceive that the repre s-atatives of public opinion in Great Britain begin toshilt (ir ground. They are gradually ceasiog to speak in the old contemptuous strain of the United | States. They have found out that we are not so very insizaificant after all. Our fast growing phy sical streagth—our rapid increase in population and wealth—our commercial importance—our high rank | un the scale of civilized nations—are now admitted, just because they can no longer be denied with any show of decency, or any hope of success. This change in the tone of Bntish journalists is owing in a considerable degree to the agency of the independent newspaper press of the United States. By means of this powerful, widely operating, and uatrammetled instrument of opinion and intelli- gence, the popular mind of Europe has been intorm- ed of the condition and progress of this country. The mere party presses—the hireling agents of local factions—instead of representing the United States abroad,—instead of promoting the spread and prosperity of the principles of civil and religious lib- erty,—conveyed altogether erroneous notions and unfavorable views of the working of free institutions and a free form of government, and brought the glo- rious cause of freedom, in many quarters, into dis- repute. Far different has been the course of the in- dapendent press, and the good fruits of its fidelity to truth and liberty are apparent in all direc- tions. Again, the consummation of that great | measure—the annexation of Texas,—has had a | /odigious influence in convincing the monarchists | of Europe of the folly of all attempts to impede the march of this republic to the fulfilment of its high destiny. The moral effeet of this single piece of policy on the part of our government can hardly be exaggerated. At home it has given a fresh impetus to the onward impulses of our people—abroad it has aflorded new and irrefragable evidence of our abil. ity to extend and perpetuate our empire. Every new accession to our territory, it is now discovered, only establishes on a more secure basis the integrity of our political system. The principle of free gov- ernment, it has been now shown— “ Spreads undivided, oper jes unspent.” ‘Transcendent, indeed, is the glory of that destiny | Musicat.~-Ole Bull gives another coneert at the | which nature, and the God of nature and liberty, bave 80 clearly marked out for freemen on this mighty continent. This vast division of the earth, it would appear, has been reserved to be the great theatre for the display, on the grandest scale, of the superior excellence and power of Auglo-Saxon civihzation and Anglo-Saxon energy. The co- loniaation system of Great Britain, great and | glorious as have been its progress and its tri- | umphs, sinks into comparative in: ignificance when contrasted with the grandeur of the future empire of fieedem on this continent, whei one race~one people—one language—one syste of civilization, government and laws, will i patation than mere money receipts. Great efforts were made by musical cliques to run down the new operatic troupe, and particularly Miss Delcy. These attempts, however, were as unsuccessful as they were unartistical and degrading to the authors. The public have sustained Miss Delcy as one of the most remarkable debutants in this country since the time | of Malibran. She has risen in reputation, conti- dence and popularity every succeeding night. To- day she leaves town tor Philadelphia, and commen. ces in a few days an engagement in that city,where she will remain for a fortnight. Then she goes to Baltimore, and will probably return to New York in five or six weeks, to commence a second engage- ment, when itis intended to bring outsome new operas which have never been given in thiscountry We do hope that Mr. Simpson will be liberal and exert himself to the utmost in the production of these operas in a style worthy of the admirable pri- ma donna—worthy of a generous public—and werthy of his own reputation. In Don Pasgroliand the English version of the Bride of Lammermoor, Miss Delcy is admirable, and the New York public have never yet seen either of them. Let them be pro- duced on Miss Delcy’s return, and that in a liberal and proper manner so far as the management of the theatre is concerned. Musical taste is rapidly ad- vancing in this city. ‘The public will patronize ope- ra with the ntmost generosity, if itbe produced ina proper style. We never have had such materials for its productions in the highest style of excellence, as at this moment in the person of Miss Delcy. Let the management of the Park then do its duty—in- crease the orchestra—provide suitable scenery—se- did operas we have named with éclat. The success of the Bowery Theatre is most re- markable. That establishment was never making so much money as now. It seems to have buried its rivals in oblivion. Whether the Chatham still exists we know not—we suppose that some stray newsboy may be able to find out such a place. Niblo’s, during Mrs. Mowatt’s engagement, has been brilliant with the fashion and taste of the squares of New York. There is a good deal of con- tradictory criticism with regard to the talents and genius of Mrs. Mowatt, and some rather ill-natured remarks have been made on her acting. But in spite of all this opposition, she is meeting with great success, and the most cordial approbation of the upper part of the city. A new comedy, written for her by pes Sargeant, is to be brought out to-night. | We really hope, for the sake of original and drama- | tie efiort, that these attempts to get up new pieces | will be encouraged in a liberal manner. Thus we go in theatrical aflairs—successful, be- cause business is successful—spirited and lively, be- cause every one is making money, and is able to afford to patronive places of rational and elegant amusement in the evening, after having filled his pockets during the day. The Keans again make their appearance at the Park this evening, and no doubt the houses wiil be as crowded as during their {rst brilliant engagement. Tabernacie this evening ment is sufficient. Templeton has hired Palmo’s for a series of nights, and will commence his certs” on the 16th inst The simple annonnce- | | | lectures” or “ con- & Reuicious Se: outside of tom vick Yrsrerpay.—On the day’s paper, we Wive the gist of the ser- mons preached in this city yesterday.

The garden,which has all summer be- come so familiar to the trequenters of.it, has, by the alterations and laying out now adopted, been quite metamorphosed. The grand saloon, where so many | promenades have been indulged in during the hot summer evenings, and which hitherto bas resound- ed with the voices of the visiters and the orders for ice-cream, Roman punch, and other delicacies, has within the last three days been delivered over to the hands of an army of carpenters, decorators, et id omne genus, beneath whose hands it has grown into a beautiful exhibition room, and the busy hands of hundreds of cunning devisers of manufactures, have overspread it with specimens of all the choice arti- cles produced in this inventive age. The prome- nade, through which is the entrance from Broad- way, is filled with specimens of all kinds of stoves, cooking ranges, and every kind of invention for keeping people warm with the least possible quanti- ty ofcoal. At the end of the promenade there is an apartment wherein some of the most beautiful sam- ples of steel work are to be seen. The galleries | around the grand saloon are tastefully hung with al! | kinds of beautiful oil cloths and carpetings ; the walls are covered with drawings and various speci- mens of needlework. Leading from here we move into the armory of the City Guard, which for the nonce has been stripped of its warlike appendages, and in their place has been substituted a variety ot articles, specimens of American manufactured cloths, cassimeres, and woollen stuffs, lace work, shell work, needle work, daguerreotype galleries, India-aubber goods, not forgetting four splendid ; ptanos. In a building, on the left hand of the grand saloon, and fronting on Crosby street, there hasbeen erected a beautiful steam engine,to give life and mo- tion to the hundred or so of ingenious machines that are there congregated, The fountain in the garden has algo bes’, der contribution, and with the ai¢ ofits ral highly interesting new jnventio power of hydraulies) is used tor poses. Thus we ma: say,that the managersof the In- stitute have enlisted the combined powers of earth, air, fire and water, tomake the Fair go off with éclat, and we have no doubt such will be the case. The number ot arucles that had arrived on Satur- dayveventng was very numerous indeed, and the public will find them of a highly interesting charac- ter. The doors will open to-day at 12 o’clock pre- cisely, and will close this evening with a splendid exhibition of fireworks. We understand that an address will be delivered at Dr. Dewey’s church in Broadway, on Thursday evening, the 9th instant, at 74 o’clock. The Sacred Music Society of this city have ten- dered their aid, and will, no doubt, discourse sweet music on the occasion. The managers have made arrangements to furnish each visiter to the Fair with aticket for the address. The band of the North Carolina will visit the Fair this afternoon. 4 laid un- of its water seve- ns, by which the a number of pur- Bane ne Ee Tae Van Buren axp Hoyr Corresronpence.— We shall continue our republication of the Hoyt cor- respondence, and our commentsthereon, in order to shed light on the history of Van Burenism during the last twenty years. We have already given several highly interesting and instructive chapters illustra- tive of the morale of party politics. Recent events have given fresh interest to the history of the past movements of Van Burenism in this State, and in view of the coming election, the subject is also par- ticularly interesting. Van Burenism and Tylerism it will be at once our duty and pleasure to dissect aad analyse, for the benefit of the present and future generations. Lights, guides and charts may thus be atlorded for the direction of those that are to come afier. Ocgan Sreamers.—The late emeute in the shape of an abolition riot, on board the steam ship Cam- bria, and the attempt of Captain Judkins to force his passengers by the use of iron manacles, to listen toa lecture on slavery, from the uegzro Douglass, is having its eflect at the South, and also at the North. Although the Cambria is a very fine vessel, yet most of the southern passengers, and those fond of quiet and order on ship board in the middle of the Auantic, will take passage in seme other steam packet. We are disposed to think, however, that Capt. Judkins will not be so foolish as to take any | More negro passengers Sporting Intelligence. TroriinG on THE Beacon Course.—Two excel- lent days sport is promised to come off over this course to-day and to-morrow, if the weather will permit. The great match between Reality and Moscow, for $1400, will take place to-day at halt- past two o’clock. This is exciting particular atten- sion among the sporting gentry. After this a purse will be gone tor in which some of the best “ green- uns” of the season are’entered. On Tues: jay, a purse of $300 will be run between Lady Suffolk and chess. It will be a most interesting aflair. It is the Lady’s first appearance for five months. Two other interesting trots are to come off the same day; | three and four horses are entered fur each, and all are likely to go. Should the weather prove unfa- vorable on either day, so as to cause postponement, timely notices will be posted at the ferries, and on the bulletin boards of the principal newspapers. The latest betting on the match between Moscow and Reality was 15 to 12 on Reality ; even that it is done under2m. 35 Boat Race — noon at 3 o'clock boat race takes place this atter- clock, between the New York and Bat- tery Pet, off the Elysian Fields, Hoboken, for $100 Cricket —To-day the grand match between the first eleven of the Union Club, Philadelphia, and the | St. George’s Club, will be played on the ground of the latter, on the Bloomingdale road. st the weather proves favorable, wickets will be pitched about 10 o’clock, play to commence directly afterwards. A new Cricket Club is about to be established in Newark. Clty Intelligence. Dertonaai® Accipent.—On Saturdi evening the Phi. ladelphia cars left this city at their usual hour and arriv. ed in Newark about half past 5 o’clock. Just before en- tering } k, there isa curve in the road whi | ders it P see buta short distance ahi | engineer had lessened the speed at this place, so that the | train was going but about six milesan hour. Just ar | they were rounding the curve, however, another train | ofcars which had come from the Morristown branch also | was seen at the other end of the curve, and coming in the i} prose direction. Although both trains were going | slowly; although it was broai daylignt, owing to the | shortness of the curve, it seemed impossible to prevent @ | concussion. The engines met and threw the cars off the | track, and very much injured both engines. But the worst remains to be told. Mr. Bruce, a carrier in the employ of Adams & Co. was standing on the forward car in company with two other gentlemen when the engines met. These gentlemen were thrown by the concussion one upon one side of the cars and one upon the other. At the same time, the platform, on which Mr. Bruce stood, was split open, and one of his legs slipped down into the apertu: mashed that it was found necessary iately near the knee. Many other pas ight contusions, and a gentleman named Dunn was badly injured. No reason is given why these Morristown cara should be on the same track with the Philadelphia cars, and, in all probability ‘nobody was to blame.” How many more lives and limbs must be sacrificed before railroad companies and conductors will learn to be careful? Who is to compensate thir young man for the loss of his limb ? Aspuia Nonmay.—This young women, who some time since was tried for stabbing @ man named Ballard, infront of the Astor House, is now we learn, in a coun- try town in Mi housekeeper in t Spectability—the gi Amelia is sn Mey wel much liked by all who know her. It will, no doubt, be interesting to those who exhibited a sympathy in her behalf, to know that their desires for her future welfare were not mis placed. Awnine Posts.—The Common Council have passed a resolution to remove the awning posts in Nassau street that there may be more room for the pedestrians who crowd that great thoroughfare. This is a very good move, and we thank the Common Council for it. But why should Nassau street be alone selected? In all the public streets, the awning posts are not only great, but useless nuisances. They take up about a oot of the sidewalk, and that, in some of the streets, is quite an ob- ject. And as they are of no manner of use whatever, we cull for their entire banishment. In Boston awning posts are not used at all. The awnings are by light iron rods, two of which form the # awning, while two others, extending 0 it perfectly below the awning, supports it ond keeps tight. These yb can, therefore, fe taken in or ifficulty; and thereby prevent the jes eith r above or rolled up, with no loss from storms of wind and rain, which tear the stu- tionary awnings. We trust our merchants will not wait for the Common Council to move in this matter, but | will at once remove the clumsy awning posts, and erect | ‘heir awnings in a much neater manner, and at the same time greatly improve the appeurance and add to the con venience of the side-walk, Caution.—A man called on Saturday at the house of Mr, Carpenter, of No. 30 Vandam street, and a i wife that Mr ©, being in a hurry to go to Ne fe business, had sent him for his cout. Mrs, C., however, suspecting him, refused him, and on the return of -her | husband, learned that it was merely an attempt to get the coet, he having sent no one for it.

Sol Smith and Lud)- ‘, ve vw have been illustrating Mesmerism at thee oe re in St. Loui Ore Butt amone tHe Bow Knives.—Ole Bull is again inthe city, and will give a grand concert, this evening, at the Tabernacle, prior to his departure for Europe. This recalls to mind a conversation concern- ing ro with a gentleman recently from the west. He was speaking of the highly favorable impression ade on all classes by the cordial, uppretending manners of the highly-gifted Norwegian.’ Among other anecdotes, he relaed what was the origin of the report that he had afight with some steamboat passengers going down the Mississippi. He was quietly reading a newspa- paper, when one of those south-western chaps, who style themselves “half horse, half aligator, and the other half snapping turtle,” stepped up to him, and said, “Come, take adrink.” ‘ Thank you, but I never drink ardent spirit,” was the polite reply. ‘Damn you, do you belong to the temperance society?” said the snap- ping turtle. ‘No, I do not belong to the temperance society,” ho answered; “ but I never drink ardent spirit, because it operates on my system like poison.” ‘ Damn you, do you mean tol say I offer you poison?” rejoined the other, doubling up his fist—“ Come, fight, old horse.” By this time, half a dozen other roarers had gathered round, and all began to cry, ‘Come, fight, old horse. You look like a dammed strong fellow. Show us some of your spunk.” : “A Norwegian can Aight as well as any man, when his blood is up,” replied Ole Bull ; “but really, gentlemen, IT cannot fight in cold blood. What am | to Bg! it about 7” “Damn you, what matter is it what you fight about?” | exclaimed they : “You look strong, and you shall fight.” Seeing no better way to satisfy them, he said, “Since you want to prove my strength, and | really have nothing to fight about, I will tell you what | wili do. Any one amoug you may take hold of me in any manner he chooses, and [ will pledge myself that one minute after, he shall'be lying on his back, at my fect. Take me in what position you please.” The proposal was received with acclamation; anda stout fellow agreed to clasp him tight round the waist. He did so, and a moment after was flat on his back, with- out breath. Ole Bull was at first alarmed, lest he had really done the man some injury, and began secretly to blame hiv own playful imprudence, for getting into such % scrape in the boisterous south west. But the comrades of the fallen man poured some brandy down his throat, and he soon revived. His first question was, “Can any of you tell me how I got on my back ?” This occasioned a shout of laughter, in which he him- self joined. r Springing up, he took the bowie knife from his pocket and presented it to the Norw aying, ‘Take t and carry it home with you a good fighter. Dama you, you struck me down like a streak of greased lightning.” It aionen others pulled out their bowie-knives, and offered them as a trophy to “the damned strong fellow and good fighter.” So the magician of the bow has a quantity of bowie knives to add to his cabinet of Am can curiosities. As for his music, the westerners had thought the east- ern papers a little crazy about it; but after they had listened to the ravishing strains, they concluded it was enough to make any lover of music crazy. Since they have witnessed the movement of his bow, they will pro- bably have to add to their energetic vocabulary sume word expressive of amore prestissimo movement than “greased lightning ” .vrama of the Brookiyn City Intelligence. Srarer Cavcussinc.—New tYork has its “Povert; Corner,” its "‘Loafer’s Corver,” &c., in the neighborhoo of the Custom House ; and Brooklyn has, also, its “cor- ners,” for the meetings and assemblages of divers per- sonages and cliques,who profess to control, in their vari- ay®, the political destinies of King’s county. For hours on every day of the week, may be ferent sections of the city, cro’ sulting together as to the best and wis dering the “country safe,” either from the rule of whig- | ism, nativism, or locofoceism.

There was some very fine fruit exhibited, and a small display of manufactured articles, but it is de- cidedly inferior to any that have been held here be- Your correspondent in speaking of our late cen- sus, remarks the much larger number of unmarried females than males. New Haven can justly boast ot more elderly maidens, (vulgarly called old maids,) college here, (old Yale,) hus a great share in this business. Young men trom abroad come here to get un education. They spend their leisure princi pal.y among the fair ladies. They, (perhaps un- consciously and perhaps not) make such inroad- upon their tender hearts as totully unfit them for companions, for our enterprising young men,who be- long here. On this account there always has, and always will be many hard feelings between the na- tives and students—and any young lady who keejs company with the “ tancy men,” is most general! ly cut by the young natives. There has been but little excitement in onr quiet city for some time past. During the last week a bold robbery was perpetrated at the Park House. A gen tleman from Stonington had his pocket book, con taining some $600, and notes to the amount of 4000 mate, who represented himself asa tresh, about t enter college, but it has turned out he was not so fresh as some imagined.

Sunday, Oct. 5—6 P. M. The stock market, during the past week, has not been very active, and prices have fluctusted atrife. The speculative movement thet promised so favorably a few weeks since, has been lost, and operations are new pi cipally confined to the brokers of the two boards—be tween the bulls andthe beers. It appears almost impos- sible to draw into the street outside operators, which accounts for the difficulty experienced in getting up any extensive speculative movement in fancy stocks Money is abundant, the rate of interest below the legai standard, and prices for mo t of the stocks, used for spec: ulation, range very low, compared with those ruling id previously. Notwithstanding this favorable state of things, it seems at present utterly impossible to get v,p any movement likely to carry up prices much above ‘the ruling rates. ‘We annex acomparative table, giving the qu’ tatiens orsome of the stocks used in this market for “speculs- tion, for each day of the past week, and at thre close of the week previous.

The importation of dutiable goods in September, 1845, was $2,247,805 less than for the corresponding month in 1844, and only $424,810 more than for September, 1843. Part of the de- | feioncy this year is made up by an increased importa- tion of specie; but the aggregate decrease amounts to $1,586,081. The value of imports into this district fer the first nine months of 1845, 18 nearly ten millions of dollars less than for the same period in 1844; and the de- | crease in the revenue from oustoms a littls more than four millions of dollars. The amount of duties received atthis port in 1844, was $22,066,127. This year the amount will not vary much from $17,000,000, or about five millions of dollars less.

The great difference in the charge for through travel this year, ccmpared with last, accounts for the falling off in that item. Last sea- son the price of a through passage was $4; whereas this, it has been only $2 -a reduction of fifty pereent. With this decrease in the fare, it is surprising that the cggregate receipts for the month from that source, do not show agreater decline. This road pays a regular semi-annual dividend of three per cent; but its stook ranges from twenty-five to thirty-live per cent below var. After the payment of the last dividend, there was ® surplus left in the treasury, and the decrease in the re- ceipts this year has not been sufticient to endanger the next dividend.

All but four thou- sand shares of the old stock is in the hands of those able and disposed to keep it out of the street; and as the building of the road progresses, the stock now used ‘or speculation among the brokers, will he withdrawn from the market,and only appear upon the books of the boards of brokers, as it may change hands for investment. ‘The surplus revenue on deposite in the Government | depositories on the 30th of September, amounted to $10,089,693 93, showing an increase since the 23th of August, sof {$129,930.
